Hints for the Girls.

An old stager, who has been through
the mill, gives the following parental ad-
vice to the girls:
Take lessons on the piano, and learn to
paint and sing, but let your mother do the
washing
Do worsted work and make nice little
neckties for the heather, but don't acquire
that mystic art to ''cook pork and beans"
Go to boarding school and pursue some
French, Spanish and German, but neglect
your good old mother English.
Flatly deny the soft impeachment that
you are engaged. Treat your young sprig
precisely as if you were ashamed of him
1t is complimentary anyhow to the young
sprig.
When you laugh, laugh heartily. Your
gold filings may be seen. 1t is card for
the dentist
Tell people who are posted and con-
sequently know better, that you are ex-
actly nineteen last or next summer, you
forget which. They'll believe it you know.
Say naughty things of your rival and
next door neighbor, and speak despairing-
ly of Miss Q.'s nose. But entirely over
look your own incongruities.
BY all means "tote" nice little dog af-
ter you on the streets There is a chance
of you being taken for some one else, while
it speaks volumes-for the dog.
Walk four abreast, and keep the centre
of the sidewalk, but never for moment
allow yourself to be disconnected. 1t shows
consideration for the happiness of others.
Finally, quit being girls, by marrying
some old bald-head buffer, with lots of
"tin, and ruthlessly thrust aside man of
brains with becoming competency.

THE FIRST THoUSAoND DOLLARS.

The following extract we take from The
Ne'o York Independent. and commenced if
to the careful consideration of the BOYS and
young men who are among our readers
The first thousand dollars that a Young
man after going out into the world to act
Tor himself earns and saUes will generally
settle the question of the of business life
with HIM There may be exceptions to
this statement yet for rule, we think
that it will hold true.
The first condition in that the younq
man actually earns the thousand dollars in
question. He does not inherit this sum.
1t does not come to him by streak of
good luck, as the result of a fortunate ven
ture IN the purchase and sale of a hundred
shares of stock 1t is the fruit of personal
industry. He gives his time and his labor
for it. While he is thus earning and saw
ing 1t, he must earn two or three, or per-
haps four times as much to pay his current
expenses. He is consequently held sternly
to the task of industry for considerable
period. The direct consequence to him is
steady continuous and solid discipline in the
habits of industry-in patient, persistent,
forecasting and selfdenying effort, break
ing up all the tendencies to Incidence and
trivolity, and making him an earnest and
watchful economist Of time He not only
learns how to work but he also acquires
the love of work and, moreover he learns
the value of the sum which he has thus
saved out of his earnings He has toiled
for it ; he has observed its slow increase
from time to time and in his estimate it
represents so many months or years of prac-
tical labor. His ideas of life are shaped
by his own experience. These natural eff
tects of earning the first thousand dollars
we hold to be very large benefits They
are just the qualities of mind and body
which are most likely to secure business
success in after years. They constitute
the best practical education which man
can have as worker in this working world
They are gained in season for life's pur-
poses, at the opening period, just when
they are wanted, when foolish notions are
most likely to mislead an inexperienced
brain, and when, too, there is full oppor-
tuIity for expansion and development in
fact years. Men have but one life to live
hood but once. And the manner in which
they start, the purposes they have in view,
and the habits they form will ordinarily
determine the entire sequel of their career
on earth. To succeed, men must have the
elements Of success in themselves One
great reason why there are so many use
less, inefficient, and poverty-stricken men
on earth-or, rather, boys seeming to be
men-consists in the simple fact that they
did not start right. A prominent reason
why the children Of the rich SO frequently
amount to nothing may be found in the
luxury, ease and Incidence which marked
the commencement of their lives 1t is
the law of God that we should be workers
on earth and no one so well consults the
best development of his being as when he
confers his practice to this law. The work
ers in some suitable sphere are the only
really strong men in this world.

A Sacred Bull That has an Arm Like a
Man.

In Mr.. Martin stable, Columbia Heights,
Brooklyn, is so-called sacred Brahmin
bull-bought in Calcutta by Capt Folge,
and brought here in the ship Scindia-that
has just back of the shoulder an appendage
very similar to human arm, with shoul-
der, elbow, and wrist joints, and horny
twisted fingers. The arm is covered with
fine hair, and is of dark lead color, shaded
into white. 1t swings when the bull moves,
but whether the bull has control of the
limb is disputed, the keeper and the sail
ors of the ship saying that it can strike
with it. The limb is composed of flesh
and horny substance, and is said to hard
en- when the bull is fed high, but softens
when it has little to eat. The animal is
valued at $4,000, 1t is attached by the
Custom House authorities for duties, since
animals that are not intended for breeding
purposes are dutiable.

Now You Begin to Talk"

On certain occasion the counsel took
some exception to the ruling of the court
on some point, and dispute arose.
''If the court please, said the counsel,
and at the same time picked up volume.
'There is no referring to any book, ex-
claimed the court, angrily. II have de-
cided the pint
But your honor" persisted the at
torney.
Now, L don't want to hear anything on
the subject" yelled the court" Il tell
you again that | have decided the pint.
81 know that, was the rejoinder, II am
satisfied of that but this is volume of
Blackstone. / am certain he differs with
your honor, and | only want to show you
what fool Blackstone was
"Ah, indeed, exclaimed the court, ''now
you begin to talk.

An Intelligent Sheep Dog.

A instance of extraordinary intelligence
in dog is given by correspondent of
Land and Water. The gentleman who
witnessed the event was a short time since
on a visit to Scotland, and during one of
his walks he came across some men who
were washing sheep. Close to the water
where the operations were being carried
on was a small pen, in which detachment
of ten sheep were placed handy to the man
for washing While watching the perfor-
nance his attention was called to a sheep
dog lying down close by. This animal,
on the pen becoming nearly empty, with
out "a word from any one, started off to the
main body Of the flock and brought back
ten of their number, and drove them into
the empty washing pens. The fact of the
dog bringing exactly the same number of
sheep as had vacated it, he looked upon at
first as a strange coincidence, mere chance
But he continued looking on, and, much to
his surprise, as soon as the men had re-
duced the number to three sheep, the dog
started off again and brought back ten
more and so on he continued throughout
the afternoon, never bringing one more
nor one less, and always going for fresh
lot when only three were left in the pen,
evidently being aware that during the time
the last three were washing he would be
able TO bring up fresh detachment.

A Substitute for Leather.

The British Trade Journal describes a
newl y patented substitute for leather,
known as '.leatherette," but not the pro-
cess by which it is made. 1t says that the
new material is made in perfect imitation
of different kinds of leather, the sheets of
tibrous pul p being pressed into real skins
of leather used as moulds. The grains of
the leather are thus accurately reproduced
in the leatherette. The Trade Journal
says that leatherette costs only one-eighth
as much as leather, and that it has two
advantages over the real article, being
stronger and of more uniform quality 1t
is said to be particularly well adapted for
use in book binding

A Faithful Sheep Dog.

Among the most interesting entries at
the late Maryland State Fair was hand
some setter dog named "Jack," that is
owned and entered by gentleman of Balti-
more county. There is nothing peculiar
in "Jack's" general appearance, but his
sagacity is really wonderful. His owner
has large number of sheep, and Jack
was almost raised with them. He became
very much attached to the sheep, and was
used in driving and watching them. He
would follow them to pasture in the morn
ing and remain with them during the en-
tire day, with the exception Of short time
near noon, when he would return to the
farm house, and after getting his dinner
would return at once to his charge He
followed this routine alike in good and bad
weather, and even when the sheep were
brought home in the evening and penned,
he would sleep with them. On one occa-
sion the flock was left in charge of Jack"
in field on distant part of the farm, and
they were allowed to remain there during
the night, but he did not offer to leave,
and was found with them on the following
morning During the early part of last
spring he was left in charge of a flock of
about eighty sheep, and during the day
two strange dogs made their appearance in
the field and commenced killing the sheep.
"Jack" at once attempted to drive the in
truders from the field, but they turned up
on him and desperate fight ensued. Dur
ing the battle one of the strange dogs was
killed, and the other so badly hurt that he
could not climb the fence to escape. The
faithful protector of the sheep was so much
injured in the fight that he did not recover
for several weeks. The sheep seemed to
recognize the faithfulness of 'Jack, as
when hired man visited the field in the
evening he found the flock standing IN
circle around their protector, who was un-
able to move. Two of the sheep were
killed by the strange dogs and the remain
ing dog that had been unable to escape,
was killed by the man that visited the
field
