LESSON FROM ONE ADyERTsEMENT-
Two or three days ago there was an ad-
vertlsement in the Ledger, stating that
a Young man was wanted in railroad
Office. Within twcnty-tour hours there
were nine hundred and eighiyJf0e aP-
plicants for the place left at this Office
for the advertiser. While the occurrence
shows incidentally the extent to which
advertisements in the journal meet the
notice of the particular persons whose
attention. it Is desired to attract we make
mention of it for anotherpurpose. There
is no social error more prevalent, and
but few that are more lamentable, than
that Of the fond, indulgent mothers and
shortsighted fathers who allow their
bows to grow up with no other business,
trade or occupation, than that they pick
ur in the way Of ''cIerking, about otii-
ccs and stores. Al such parents or
guardians can see from the number OF
applications for one clerkship sent TO one
advertiser in one day fair indication
OF the number Of clerks, or persons who
desire 10 be clerks, who are valnly seek
inc employment III that capacity. There
is fearful excess OF young men, and IN
deed Of men of mature age, who desire
to go into Offices or stores to write or
to do anything" as some Of them eX.
press it. When such persons get out OF
employment they generally have long
and weary waits-month after month
and year after ycar-before they can
get other places, for the reason indica-
ted in the above fgures-there are
thousand persons at hand to fill any one
vacancy that occurs. No one should
bring up boy so that his only or chief
qualification for useful employment in
his manhood is his fitness to act as clerk,
kookkeeper or attendant in an office or
store. Mine times out of ten the boys
and men so brought up lead lives OF dis
appointment and renury,-Philadefph'H
Ledger.

A contempt for work is at the bottom of
the mind of fashionable young lady.
Frivolity is so general that it is surprising
that so much good survives in spite of
neglect SO long as we frown down and
sheer at the efforts to enlarge woman's
sphere, we are encouraging frivolity and
ideness in women. We hear the inter
ests and rights of woman spoken of as if
these could be separated from those of
man-as if men and women were creatures
of different kind.
A most common and mischievous error
is that which would make woman the
mere shadow and attendant Of her lord as
if shadow could be a true helpmeet.
We have long heard that mans sphere is
the world; woman's is home. But women
have part in the world, too, while men
are not ciphers in the home circle. The
material need of opening fresh avenues to
women is obvious; the moral necessity is
also of the utmost importance. Women
must have such occupations as will give
them true and genuine sympathies with
their fathers and husbands, who are toll
ing day by day for their support while
the women dependent upon them are
wearying out the hours trying to kill time.
In this way wide gulf, constantly ex-
banding, is opened between men and

Wonders OF the Sea Depths.

THE neither darkness, so far from being
a lifeless waste, teens almost everywhere
with creatures not only more fantastic but
larger than their shallow-water cousins;
and the paddler about rock-pools and tide
sands at watering places will learn from
this book that far away at sea are found
sea monsters far bigger as well as far ug
lier and far more beautiful than were ever
transferred to an aquarium. To give two
instances, the Caprella, "the phantom
shrimp" which may be found on sea-
weed, sitting upright like monkey,
holding on by his hind paws, and, with
CHASTITY grimaces, mesmerizing all pass
ers-by with his fore claws, sits in like
guise upon sponges mile or two deep in
the darkness-there, however, not quar-
ter Of an inch, but three inches long; and
the Nymphoms, sea spiders who crawl
from under stones, and who, having no.
body to speak of, carry their stomach, for
economy of space, packed in long branches
up the inside of each leg-are found liz the
depths of the Arctic sea, not half an inch,.
but two feet in diameter.

A Rich Scene In a Smoking Car.

AN amusing incident occurred recently
in the smoking car of c., c., G. s. /. K.
X. train between Shelby and this city. A
woman with a poodle dog entered the car
Just prior to the departure of the train
from the former point, and after deposit
ing her dog on one seat, turned over the
PACK OF another one, SO that each seat
1aceo The other. Together she and her
canine companion thus monopolized two
entire seats.
Appearances seemed to indicate that the
car was one exclusively for tho conye-
nlence OF those addicted to the use of the
weed" but of this fact she was soon
appraised by the conductor who ad
viSed her to obtain seat in another COR
informing her at the same time that the
accommodations in the way of seats in
the ether coaches were superior to those
to where she was then. However, she in
sisted on remaining, urging that her
presence would deter the occupants of the
car from smoking, and she would conse
quently experience no discomfort from to
bacco fumes. Long before the train
reached this city, however, a gentleman
sitting directly in front of her produced
his case, and taking therefrom a cigar
began pulling away at it in a manner
which seemed peculiarly calculated to az
gravate the strong minded" woman i'm
mediately back of him. In an instant, by
strategic movement, she wrested the
obnoxious cigar from his mouth and
threw it out Of the window, exclaiming,
IF there is anything do hate, it is to-
bacCO smoke"
The passengers who had witnessed the
affair were convulsed with laughter, but
the offending smoker suppressed whatever
emotions may have been struggling for
expression in words or action and main
tanned throughout the same imperturbable
gravity which had characterized him from
the first. Calmly rising from his seat, he
opened the window nearest him, fastened
it up, and reaching over the seat back of
him, took that Woman's poodle dog and
threw him out of the window as far be-
You'd as POSSIBLE, at the same time saying,
IF there is anything | do hate, it's poo
die dogv'
The scene which followed beggars de-
scription. The car resounded with peal
after peal of laughter, and as the extreme
righteousness Of the affair became appar-
ent to the principal actors in it, they too
Joined with the rest. Despite the regret
incident to the loss Of her dog, the woman
couldanot suppress her inclination to laugh
at the unexpected finale of the affair."

Mistakes in MatrimOny.

THERE are two important mistakes about
it which deserve special notice. One is
that which DR.. Watts has sanctioned in
his celebrated lyric, that souls were pair
ed when sent into this world, and some
how have got mixed and jumbled up,
scarcely any one getting his counterpart,
or having any chance of doing so; and
that hence are the Earrings Of the married
state Many people lay off their miseries
upon this mystic fatalism, and think if
they had only their true partners, they
should have been supremely happy Now,
the truth is, there are no persons but those
regenerated or becoming so, who can be
brought into any intimate relation, least
Of all the most intimate, with TOUT drawing
out the mutual points of repulsion in their
character.
We are not sent into the world paired
and nicely fitted to each other without
any agency Of cur own; we are brought
here with selfish natures to be supdued,
and angelic natures to be unfolded from
within; and this is done through constant
watchings, self-denials, and efforts. Let
two persons, then, with hearts intensely
natural, be brought together in the
most sacred Of all relations They
think they are matched They are So
But it may be either for a draw-game at
self, or for walking with equa, pace on
the heavenly road If they begin in
earnest a life of regeneration, internal
evils, as they come successfully into
the consciousness, will be denied, and
have all their Jagged points filed off, and
finally will be cast out entirely; and
whereas their union atfrst might have been
only external, it may become more and
more internal, and at length it may be-
come SO perfect that, for aught we know,
they may only appear in the spiritual
world like one person instead Of two. At
any rate, they become together complete
humanity, whereas apart they would be a
humanity halved and split in twain.
On the other hand, suppose regenerate
life does not begin, but selfish and worldly
living rather Then the Jagged points Of
two selfish natures will begin to show
themselves, and they will grow more pro-
tusive, sharp and prickly, and make the
disunion more and more complete. This
will appear at first rather insensibly I'M
der externals, but will grow to a terrible
reality. At first they will only wish to
look at the moon through separate win
dows; but very soon it will be, as Hood
says, and they will want separate moons
to look at; and, lastly, there will be no
moon at all, for all the romance Of life
will have gone out in total darkness

UNFINISHED STILL.

A BABY's boot and skein of wool,
Faded and soied and soft;
Odd things, you say, and doubt you're right,
Round seamans neck this stormy night
Up in the yards aloft.
Most like it's folly: but mate, look here:
When first | went TO sea,
A woman stood on yon far-of strand,
With wedding-ri on the small soft hand
Which chung so close to me.
Ny wife-God bless her! The day before,
She sat beside my foot;
And the sunlight kissed her yellow hair,
And the dainty fingers, deft and fair,
Knitted babys boot.
The voyage was over: I came ashore:
What, think you,s found there?
A grave the daisies had sprinkled white,
A cottage empty and dark as night,
And this beside the chair:
The little boot, twas unfinished still;
The tangled skein lay near
But the knitter had gone away to rest,
With the babe asleep on her quiet breast,
Down i'll the churchYard drear.
