THE passengers on one of our crowded
ferry boats were much amused one day
at seeing a gentleman very deity pick a
friends pocket of his pocket book and
transfer it to his own. They were still
more amused at seeing a third "gentle-
man" take the pocket book even more
deity from the amateur, and disappear
in the crowd. The denOuemem soon
came. Mum Der two asked number one
to let him see his pocket book, and when
his friend could not find it, proceeded
with smile to restore it to him. His
smile, however, was soon changed to a
look OF intense surprise, which was very
much enjoyed by the bystanders, for they
expected that gentleman" number three
would soon appear and unravel 10 his
friends this amusing mystery. But alas
Number three never came back. He
was it seems, "a true 'artst," who had
coolly robbed the amateur as publicly
as the latter robbed his friend. In the
hurry and confuion of landing, number
three made his escape, so the amateur
was obliged TO compensate his friend for
the contents of his pocket back, probably
resolving to eschew ever alter any such
practical joke.

LEARN A TRADE.-The prospect for
wealth and position to-day is brighter to
any young man of ability and ambition,
who will learn we'll and thoroughly a
good trade. than for any one who attempts
to crowd into the professions. The coun-
try is sadly in want of mechanics who
combine skill with intelligence. Not a
workshop can be found to day where they
are not needed. Not manufacturing or
mechanical establishment exists in the
country which is not deficient, some way
or other in skilled assistance. 1t is the
skillful, intelligent mechanic who is most
in demand, and hence none Of them are
to be found who are not proftably en-
ployed. Wealth is rapidly accumulated
by such men, who devote themselves to
the various mechanical pursuits, or to the
production of articles which are regarded
in the sense of necessities by the commu-
nifty. The pressing demand of the day is
not tor mere ornament, but for those who
by the labor of hand and brain combined,
are able to make capital productive. Our
advice to young men is to earnestly apply
themselves to the acquisition of such
knowledge as will enable them to supply
the ever increasing demand for skilled
labor, thereby not only laying the foun-
dation for future personal prosperity, but
at the same time rendering high and
permanent benefit to the community

A TuoUGHT.-Were children accus-
toned from their infancy to hear nothing
but correct conversation, there would be
but little need Of their learning arbitrary
rules of grammar they would naturally
speak and write correctly. Hence it is
that children of educated parents are
generally so much more easy and grace
ful in their conversation than the children
of the uneducated. Our language, like
our manners, is caught from those with
whom we associate, and if we would have
the young improve in this important
part of education, wo must be careful
that they hear no vulgarisms from u.s.
Parents and teachers cannot be too par.
ticular in their use of language in tho
presence of initiative children.

A WAsHINaToN paper tells of an ele-

one OF the dry goods stores on Pennsylva-

requested the proprietor to have it sent
home. Overwhelmed with the important
duty so suddenly thrust upon him, he
Immediately procured an express wagon
and detailed a clerk, who lifting the spool
into the wagon, drove with it to the resi-
dence of the young lady, and dismount-
ing, rang the bell, and when the door was
opened. placed the spool upon his shoul-
der and carried it into the hall, and gently
placed it on end. as if it had been a bar
rel of -four. and then retired. The con-
sternation of the family can be imagined
The head of the house has been lodging

A BALLOON IN A Snow SToRM.-F.
r. King, who made balloon ascencion
at Morriston, Vermont, on the 4th of Ju-

cred his balloon nearly one inch thick.
and sent it down rapidly. The balloon
was seen by several farmers when ii land
cd, about forty-fve minutes after it went
up, and about eight miles from where it
started. Not hearing anything from
young King, party was organized and
search made. There were five hundred
men in the forest at nine o'clock on Sun
day morning, and the balloon was found
about IL o'clock, and King came out
about the same time, having been in the
wilderness forty. eight hours without food.
He was much exhausted from cold and

MENDELssoHN's WooNG.-The hon
ored Moses Mendelssohn became ac-
quainted with the merchant Guggenheim,
of Hamburg.
''Rabbi Moses" said he one day, 3" we
all honor you, but my daughter reveres
and admires you with the warmest en-
thusiasm. 1t would give me the great
est happiness to have you for son-in-
law. Come and make us a visit in Ham,
burg"
Mendelssohn came to Hamburg, and
called on Guggenhem in his counting
house. He said:
$50 in and see my daughter; it will
give her much pleasure to see you. l
have told her much about you."
Merdelssohn called on the daughter
Again he came to Guggenheim in his
counting house. The two mon did not
know what to say, and, at last Mendels-
sohn spoke of the lovely and thoughtful
nature of his daughter.
Yes, honored Rabbi" said Guggen-
helm, but shall speak frankly.
Certainly"
" You are philosopher, a well-think-
ing, wise man, you will not take it amiss
of the child she has said-she is afraid,
when she sees you-because you"
Because that have such hidcous
hump"
Guggenheim nodded
~ have thought of that" said Men
delssohn, "but yet will go and say fare
well to your daughter"
He went into the house and seated him
self by the daughter, who sat on raised
seat by the window, with needlework in
her hand. They talked easily and famil-
iarly with each other, but their eyes did
question.
"Do you believe that marriages arc
made in Heaven ?"
Certainly, and to me something ex-
traordinary happened. You know that,
according to n saying of the Talmud, at
the birth of n child it is proclaimed in
Heaven this one belongs to such one.-
Now, when l was born, my wife was al-
so announced, but thereupon it was said
she should receive from a sorrowful God
hump, dreadful one. Dear God,'
said then, n maiden who is hump back
cd will easily grow bitter and hard a
maiden should be beautiful. Dear God,
give me the hump, and lot the maiden be
beautiful and well-pleasing.'
Hardly had Moses Mendelssohn said
this than the maiden fell on his neck.-
And she became his wife and they were
happy together, and had beautiful and
brave children, whose descendants are
living even to this very day.-Berthotd
Auer6ach.

SUBDuINo BEEs.-The stings of bees
were given them Tor tho protection of
their stores. They are not disposed TO
sting when not in danger, and every bec
which does sting dies. Away from their
own hives they rarely make an attack.
The natural dread of stings deter many
from keeping bees who would be glad to
do so. In tho use of modern hives the
danger of being stung is lessencd, as these
give you facilities for subduing them. A
boe, with its honey-sac full, never stings.
When you alarm n colony of bees, they
all instinctively at once ill their sacs
with honey, and after time has been al
lowed them to do this, their hive can bo
opened and examined with no danger
from their anger.
