AN INSTANCE OF MISPLACED Con-
FIDENcE.-B Before Cornelius Vanderbilt
obtained possession Of the Hudson Riv-
er Railroad, he was one day travelling
from here to Albany, and considered
himself privileged character, went in
to the baggage car to smoke. He had
been enjoying his cigar but two or three
minutes when the conductor came along
and informed him politely that he must
not smoke there. Vanderbilt said it
wouldn't make any difference-that was
all right, etc., but the conductor was of
a different opinion declaring that it
was contrary TO the rules of the road
" You don't know me-" said the smoker.
" My name is Vanderbilt; ! am some
times called commodore. | generally do
about as please" al don't know, nor
do care who you are, Mr.. Vanderbilt
| intend to obey the rules. If you were
ten times q commodore, | could not per-
NIT you to smoke here; and you must
go elsewhere to finish your cigar" The
loyalty to duty displayed by the conduct
or, pleased the ancient Cornelius, and he
went out, though not before be said to
the conductor: You are the right kind
of man for your place. You don't re-
spect persons. l think of buying this
road, ard if | do, you can stay on it as
long as you like" Vanderbilt did buy
the road, and retained the conductor
He frequently remarked that that man
could be trusted that he never was mis-
taken in judging of character and that
he knew from the fret that the conduct.
or was sound. The conductor staid on
the road FIVE years and in that time, as
the story goes, stole himself into pecu-
mary independence. So much Of Van.
derbilt's knowledge Of character. Evi.
IDENTIFY, the conductor knew Vanderbilt
better than Vanderbilt knew the con
ductor.-Ne5V York Letter.

CARE or THE CHmDREN.-The fact
being we'll known that the mortality
among children is much greater during
the summer season than during any 9TH
err portion of the year, parents and
guardians ought earnestly to consider
how they may best preserve the health
of the little ones committed to their
care. The rate of mortality among chill
dren would not be so large as it is were
proper precautions taken in regard
to their clothing, their food and their
habits. The preservation of child's
health, while it requires constant care, is
a simple matter after all. 1t might be
so cared for that in most cases the child
itself might learn what to do for itself,
and when and what to eat and tochange,
what to do and what to avoid, in order
to escape sickness. Indeed, any child
that can understand "you must not "
can assist very much in the work which
is for its own good, at least in regard to
eating the unripe, unhealthy fruits which
come far too easily within the reach Of
those who know no better than to eat it.
BY every means, and careful matching,
the children ought to be prevented from
partaking of the many unhealthy arti-
Giles of fruit and confectionery which are
offered at street stands and other places
for their temptation. Temperance in all
their eating and drinking should be
made established habits with the little
ones, and the result would be good for
the future as we'll as for the present.
Next in Importance to caring for the
child's stomache is the caring for its
body. Cleanliness, it is hardly to be
would need much said in its
favor. Frequent bathing of the face
and hands is not only productive Of
good, but it is very necessary in order
to keep the pores of the skin free from
accumulations of the imperceptible dust
which is floating continually in the air.
But the matter most neglected in the
care of children is the paying of proper
attention TO their clothing. This should
be Of character suited as far as possible
to the sudden changes of the season.
While 1t should be light and cool, its
texture ought to tie such as to protect
the body against sudden cooling by
draughts of air. Under clothing of
light, soft wooden fabric which would
absorb the preparation, or entire suits
of such, ought to be put upon every
child. 1t is mistake to suppose that
children cannot catch cold in the sum-
mer. They certainly do; everybody
does who is not guarded against it, and
summer complaints have their origin in
colds as frequently as in anything else.
Extra care during this month in these
particulars would greatly reduce the
mortality among children and save
many a young life.- Boston Journal.

Daniel Webster and Jenny Lind.

Daniel Webster and Jenny Lind.
When the dinner was over, Mr.. Web
ster in his most bland and courteous
manner, approaching Mr.. Stuart and
myself, invited us to accompany him in
bis carriage back to Washington, sug-
costing that he would go with him also
to the opera, where Jenny Lind was to
regale, for the last time, Washington
audience with her charming minstrels7.
There was, Of course, no refusing such
an invitation, so we hurried forward,
with glowing anticipations of enjoyment,
to the appointed scene Of entertainment.
On arriving at the door of the opera
house Mr.. Webster entered in his grand
est manner, and slowly passed down the
central aisle of the building. 1t chanc-
ed that Jenny Lind was then on the
platform, and was about to commence
singing our inspiring national anthem,
"The Star Spangled Banner" As soon
as Mr.. Webster's approach was perceiv-
ed the assemblage spontaneously broke
forth with tempestuous applause, evil
IDENTIFY recognizing it as a remarkable
coincidence that the renowned defender
of the constitution should have happen
ed to come in at the very moment that
the sacred emblem of the nations lib.
erty and union was on the eve of being
rapturously apostrophized in song. So
soon as the audience settled into quiet
ude the inspiring tones of Jenny Lind's
marvellous voice was heard. Never,
either before or since, have | been so
overwhelmingly sensible as on that oc-
casion was of the commingled power
of music and sentiment. The whole
concourse really seemed to be electrified.
Mr.. Webster was so transported with
delight that he actually seemed almost
to become unconscious of the presence Of
Others, and hummed very distinctly in
unison with the varying tones of the
songstress All the enthusiasm of his
soul seemed to have been kindled into
flame; all his patriotic pride to have
been touched and inspired by the sereph-
ic sounds 10 which he was an enraptured
listener. When the song had been con-
cluded, Mr.. Webster, as if impelled by
a sense of the official duty, to offer in
the name of the nation which he felt
himself entitled in some degree to rep.
resent on this occasion, the formal trib-
ute of its respect, rose from his seat, and
stepping forward to a central position
between the audience and the platform
upon which Jenny Lind was standing,
he made her one of the most honoring
and majestic bows l ever beheld. The
amiable and accomplished recipient of a
homage as unexpected as it must have
been gratifying, manifested something
ola graceful and blushing embarrassment,
but courtesied notwithstanding most pro-
foundly in response; upon which the as
sembled multitude gave vent to their
delight in most vociterous applause. A
second bow was administered, with pre-
ciselY similar Accomplishments. A third
bow was rendered when the charming
Swedish Nightingale" as she was
called, incontinently took wing and be-
came invisible to our fond and admiring
eyes, perchance forever.-Er. Governor

A schOol-boy being requested to write
a composition upon the subject of
" Pins" produced the following: Pins
are very useful. They have saved the
lives of a great many men, woman and
children; in fact, whole families."-
:" How so ?" asked the puzzled teacher.
And the boy replied, Why, by not
swallowing them" This matches the
story Of the other boy who defined salt
as the stuff that makes potatoes taste
bad when you don't put on any"

Every year increases the populari-
~ orthis valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
aaditis the only reliable and eriect-
cd preparation for restoring GRAY
or FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making i, sol, luatrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, preyents tho hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most Geo.
nomic2l HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair n splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"Thc constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and | consider it the BEST PEEPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
