THE doom TEsT.-During the last
ten years, in the winter, according
to our record, we have noticed the
manner In which one tho usand per-
sons who have called for work have
opened, shut or not shut our store
door; this, you may say, is futile
and useless undertaking, but we en-
tertaln a very different opinion.
What are the facts and deductionsp
l. Out of 1000 persons recorded.
S35 opened the door and shut it care
fully when they came in and when
they went out.
2. 226 opened it in a hurry, and
made an attempt to shut it, but did
not, and merely pulled it to when
they went out.
3. 3O3 did not attempt to shut it
at all either on coming in or going
out.
4. 96 left it open when they came
in, but, when reminded of the fact.
made ample apology, and shut it
when they went out.
5. 20 came in with GLOW do Won
do?'' or "Good evening, sir'' and
these went through the operation of
wiping their feet on the mat, but did
not shut the door when they went
out.
Remarks. We have employed
men out of all the above classes,
and during that time have had an op-
portunity of judging of their mer-
its, etc.
The first class, of S35, were those
who knew their trade and com
menced and finished their trade in a
methodical manner; were quiet, had
little to say during hours, and were
well approved by those for whom
they did their work. They were
punctual to time, and left nothing
undone which they were ordered to
do. They did not complain at tri-
fes, and in all respects they were re-
liable men and were kind and obli-
ging in their general conduct.

conviction as l said it when l looked
my last in her dear dead face, and
kissed it and. the fingers that had
wrought so deftly and untiringly for

how well she suited me, how tender

Morton, said my early friend Jack
Hathaway, to me once. ou must
have wanted a wife in the parish as
we'll as at home, and you must feel
very lonely in the long winter even
ings.
Then l knew he was thinking low
ingly of his fat little wife and com
mon-place children at home, and /
was glad of it, for he is a good crea-
ture, and though we are intellectual
ly antagonistic, and he sometimes Of

we were boys together. l felt that !

With that he crossed his legs and
leaned back in his chair, and looked
expectant.

A ONE Pound BABY.-Most of us
straggle into the world weighing
anywhere from six to twelve pounds,
and straggle out again, after a time,
weighing from one hundred to twice
that number of pounds. Having
done nothing wonderful during the
fattening period we are permitted to
glide into the oblivion of the tomb
unnoticed, just as we were allowed
to loaf into the activity of the world
unheralded. If, however, nature had
arranged with Mrs. Oliver, of Du-
buque, to introduce some of us into
this vale of tears, we would have
achieved the notoriety, of at least, a
newspaper paragraph. The thrifty
youngster which she did help into
distinction weighed Just one pound
and half, is seven inches long, and
eats any number of meals day. 1t
is mentioned as evidence of the little
ness of the young Oliver, that an or
dinary finger ring will pass over the
babes hand, and might serve as
bracelet.

ment. They have all grown very
rich-some of them being among
the wealthiest men in Rome. They
own the vast flocks and herds, and
hire the shepherds and their yellow
dogs. They employ overseers, who
ride about on horseback, under un-

exactly like the slave-drivers on
Southern plantations, in the days of
Chivalry-and overlook the herds

How Carl Rosa Got Married.
LErom the Chicago Times.

Carl Rosa aud Parepa, antlpodal as they
were in complexion, stature and avoUdupos,
were supremacy harmonious, cXcellenty adapt
ed to associated enterprise. He had never un-
dcrtaken management until after his marriage,
and he is Indebted to her, it is said, Tor the IN
spiratiou. He is SO modest and retiring little
fellow that many persons have wondered how
he could summon courage to propose to Wo-
man 80 much larger than himself.
The mauuer of his proposal is thus related:
The musical twain were en- route 10 Hartford
by rail. seated side by side; Rosa seeming 10 be
UNUSUALLY depressed. larepa, close observer
and always sympathetic, noticing his meancho-
ly irquired the cause. He answered:
Il have been unlucky in this country. For
soue reason or other have not been able to
keep my friends in America With the best of
feeling and intentions, | appear to loose as rap
idly as l make them think I have not to-
day single friend
"Oh, am sure you have responded she
"Ala,!' he exclaimed, sighiug, II fear |
have not
Indeed, you are mistaken, my good Carl.
If you have not so regarded me heretofore, |
promiie you now that | will always be your
friend
Rosa boyish face kiudlcd with delight; lie
took her gloved hand, and with chivalrous iu
siuct lifted it to his lips.
And she added, with a charming ingepu-
ousuess, II will be your wife also, if you like.
4 fortnight later they were married. She
had long been very fond of him, and he of her,
and she knew it, But he was SO sensitive aud
selt:depreciating that she felt he would not re-
veal his affection unless he were literally en-
couraged.
Few men or women have been better part
ners, scntimeutally or financially, than Parepa
and Rosa. They gave English and Italian op..
era at the Academy in better style than it had
ever been given, and Notwithstanding the great
expense to which they had gone, they realized
handsomely from the endeavor. Rosa and his
wife cleared here over $25O,O00
