AN INCIDENTAL young man went
into the Office of one of the largest dry
goods importing houses in New York,
and asked for a situation. He was
told to come again. Going down Broad
way that same afternoon, opposite the
Astor House, an old apple woman try
ing to cross the street was struck by a
stage, knocked down and her basket of
apples sent scattering in the gutter.
This young man stepped out from the
passing crowd, helped up the old lady.
put her apples into her basket. and went
on his way, forgetting the incident. When
he called again upon the importers he
was asked to name his price, which was
accepted Immediately, and he went to
work. Nearly year afterward he was
called aside one day and asked if he re-
membered assisting an old apple woman
in Broadway to pick up basket of ap-
Piles, and, much to his surprise, learned
why he obtained situation when more
than one hundred others were desiring
the same place. Young man, you little
know who sees your acts OF kindness.
The eyes of others see and admire what
they will not take the trouble to do them
selves.-American Messenger.

CULTIvATING CASTOR BEANs.-The
castor bean should be planted four feet
apart, only one plant being allowed to
grow in each hill. The land may be
tended precisely like corn, but care
must be taken that no weeds be allowed
to grow in or between the rows, and
good dry rich land should be selected
to insure a crop. When ripe, the pods
burst and the seeds are sometimes
thrown to considerable distance, hence
the absolute necessity of clean cultiva-
ton. The light colored Missouri bean
should be planted, since the large va
riety proper for Southern planting is too
late for your latitude. Places must be
prepared for drying the crops as fast as
gathered. This may be dry, hard
packed yard, or, better. platforms under
shelter. The crop must not be placed
in bulk until absolutely dry, since it is
sure to heat and mold. Twenty bushels
per acre is fair crop on ordinary land,
but the yield depends much on the
length of the season, as the beans con-
tinue to ripen until killed by frost. The
price is not quotable in the market of
Chicago, but any commission merchant
in St. Louis can give you this informa-
ton. Western Rural.

A FRENCH SToRY.-The Paris Soir
relates the following story: GA Nine.
Bonneau, living in the Rue Descartes,
was sittingin her parlor few days since,
awaiting her husbands return to din
ner, when a man of wild and haggard
appearance entered and seating himself
opposite to her, addressed her in the
following terms: s 1 am great doctor ];
l can effectually cure all headache. L
have heard that you suffer from that
and came to cure you The lady,
perceiving that she had to deal with a
mailman, prudently seemed to fall INTO
his humor, and asked what his method
of treatment was. Simple enough,
Madam said he, drawing razor from
his pocket, Il cut off the head, and
then after having well cleaned it, | re-
place it upon the sholders. Upon this
he prepared to suit the action to his
words. Nine. Bonneau, with great
GOODNESS professed her readiness to sub
nit to the operation, but suggested
that she should fetch towel from the
next room to prevent her dress from
being. stained. Her visitor assented to
the reasonableness of this suggestion,
and she left the room, locking the door
behind her. Upon her return with
some police officers they found that the
unfortunate maniac had cut his own
throat, but not fatally. 1t was ascer-
tanned that he had escaped from luna
tic asylum at Clearmont les Pres, and
had been vainly sought for during a
whole month

MAKING CHARACTER.-Peopl seem
to forget that character grows: that it
is not something to be put on ready
made, with manhood or womanhood;
but day by day, here little and there
a little, grows with the growth, and
strengthens with the strength, until.
good or bad, it becomes almost coat
of mail. Look at a model man of
business-prompt, reliable, conscien-
tious, cool and cautious, yet clear head
ed and energetic. When do you sup
pose he developed all these admirable
qualities? When he was boy. Let
us see the way in which boy of ten
years gets up in the morning, works,
plays, studies, and we will tell you just
about what kind of man he will make
The boy that is late at the breakfast
table, late at school, who never does
anything at the right time, stands a
poor chance to be a prompt man. The
boy who half washes his face. half does
his chores, half learns his lessons, will
never make thorough man. The boy
who neglects his duties, be they ever
so small, and then excuses himself by
saying go, l forgot l didn't think :"
will never be reliable man. And the
boy who finds pleasure in the pain and
suffering of weaker things, will never
be noble, generous, kindly man.

How TO TURN OUT.-The Duke OF
Wellington always slept on an iron
camp bedstead eighteen inches wide.
"When a man wants to turn over,
he said, &c 1T is time for him to turn out. "
The Emperor Nicholas did the same,
Mr.. Owen says. The principle is well
enough; but think the detail is wrong.
Sleep itself is far too important to be
made uncomfortable. My old friend
Rossiter fixed his alarm, so that, at
the fore-ordained moment, the bed
clothes were dragged from the bed. and
Rossiter lay shivering. | have myself
somewhere the drawings and specifica-
lions for patent (Which l never APP
piled for), which arranges set of cams
and wheelwork under the bedstead,
which, at the moment appointed, lift
the pillow end six feet, and deliver the
sleeper on his feet on the now horizontal
foot board. He is not apt to sleep
long after that. Rossiter found another
contrivance, which worked better. The
alarm clock struck match, which light
ed the lamp, which boiled the water
for Rossiter's shaving. If Rossiter
staid in bed too long, the water boiled
over Upon his razor, and clean shirt, and

Unmarried women in China can al
ways be distinguished from matrons, as
the hair is allowed to fall over the back
in long tresses or in the form of queue,
or caught up at the back in simple
bow, fastened with silk cord. In Can
ton it takes the form of plated tail at
the back, and a fringe of hair over the
forehead. After marriage it is taken
up and dressed into the form of tea
pot, having its handle above the head.
In Swatow it is made to resemble a
bird resting on the crown of the head,
or horn bent backward, and rising
from the back of the head. The Man
chu or Tartar matron parts her hair IN
in front, as our ladies do, while the
back hair is done up in huge bow
adorned with flowers. Hair-dyes are un-
known, as hair is uniformly black, be-
coming gray only in extreme old age

feared that the State may be also at the next
