The Story of a Steamer.

''Spea king about fast running steam
boats, said Mr.. Thomas Hartshorn,
recently, rolling his.quid into. his lar
board jaw. and giving his Tuckapaw
trousers a hitch, (Mr. II. served as
cook on the ram Queen Of the West,
Il suppose you never heard of the
old Elephant, that used to run be-
tween Cincinnati and New Orleans ?
She was a beauty | suppose that
when she was tied to the bank with a
sternline and towline she was one OF
the fastest boats on the river.
She made one celebrated trip from
New Orleans, L think in AZ. Her
time was made a matter of record Ii
was seven days, six hours and three
weeks. Comm up from Orleans once,
the captain was sittin' at the table,
and lie noticed several big hulks OF
fellows seryin' as cabin boys. He called
the steward to him, and says he. Don
you think it would look better to have
bows waitin' on the table? | don I
like to see men film the place Of
cabin boys. Let EN- go, and get some
young chaps Why, blast it, captain,
SAYS the steward, them fellows were
bows when we left New Orleans.
The Elephant" continued Mr.
Hartshorn, clinging to his nautical re-
miniscence, was pulling out from
Memphis one day. ON down trip, and
somehow she got mixed up with raft
of sawlogs. She broke one of the
logs loose, and it foated out into The
stream. Then was one OF the incest
races you ever saw. There was a good
stage of water, and the log doomed
along quite lively. For about 4 week
they held together purity well, but the
Elephant had to land at the mouth Of
White River, and the log beat her intt
New Orleans about twenty minutes
There was something wrong with thG
EIephat's boilers, and she couldu'
make steam properly. That's what
the captain said. She was nice boat
to ship green fruit on.

of immigration, from which We make
the following extract: ,'
Unfortunately too many, of our

Office, than they do about the, ways

The Iron Market,

The Cincinnati Gazette says A
feeling of dependency seems to be
gaining in the pig iron market. The
sacrifice of lots, on which holders felt
Themselves compelled TO realize, has
almost made quotations unreliable, and
produced species of decentralization.
On the other hand, producers are tax
ing such positive action to reduce the
supply. and to keep their metal out of
the market, as must sooner or later re-
suit in a very decided reaction and
higher prices. It's likely that one ex-
treme will follow another.

A First Class Farmer.

A man must be well made up
who possesses all of the qualii-
cations for first class farmer.
There must be energy, intelli-
gence, industry, tastes, pleasant
dispositions, administrative abil-
ity and a large share of GOODNESS
within the human envelope for
all these elements of greatness
are needed in the successful con-
duct of an extensive plantation.
Old methods of work have chang
ed !; animals are now "toughen-
ed" by exposure to winter storms,
not much grass is moved before
sunrise, and but little hay stack
ed or housed after sunset; men
work neither so hard nor so 10 ng
as formerly; machinery has TAX
en- much OF the farm labor from
muscle, and the 'brains' presents
his bill for payment-a little larg-
er than the old one of muscle,
yet worth more even though the
hours Of service are less. Not
only is the help better paid, but
the treatment is of a milder' form
not SO much push and splutter,
but fair, steady, intelligent SER
vice, presided over by competent
and considerate managers. Work
must run smoothly or the dry
boxes of human machinery soon
burn out; bat when fabricated
with the 'oil of human Kindness
service becomes a pleasant occu-
patton, and ceases to be drudg- |

level or the employer, and mutu-
al respect prevails. 80 q 8I

ter.
81. Never sbreak in new boots
or shoes. 1t they are not easy
when new don't take them, for
the boots will break your feet
oftner than yourfeet will break
the boots.
"2. If you go. On breaking in
boot leather you will need a
special last, made with all sort.
of knobs and protrubuances to
correspond with your distorted
joints. Then you will be sorry.
"3.. Hyou have large feet, ad-
init it in all honesty, and have
your boots made accordingly

enough to make easy boots and
shoes, refuse to take his y work
and tell him. to learn his trade
before asking your patronage"

Best Soup for Iuvalids.

For invalids, beef soup is by
far the best. That made from
mutton, is less digestable, and
is seldom free from fat. The re
markable restorative properties
of soup are due to the presence
of a large qantity of nitrogenous
principles. Sfsws and hashes
are often very sayory, but sch
dom agree with weak stomachs.
They are far better when made
from fresh meat than from that
which has been already cooked.
The repeated cooking of any
kind of food detracts materially
from its nutritive quality. As
some one has said sslti is better
to reheat our good cold beef and
mutton in our stomachs than in
our frying-pans or stew:ng pots y
Salted meats less nutritious than
fresh, -,.- --,,,

A Dutch missionary who is
among the hottentots in Mama
qualand, South Africa. has written
a letter of thanks for the, Bibles
and Testaments sent to the peo-
pie in his district. He prefers
that they should give something
In return for the precious vol
ume. He thinks that the old
and young value a thing more if
it costs them some trouble to get
it; or if they pay little toward
the expense Of it. The poor peo-
pie in Christian lands bring their
pennies and their shillings to pay
for the Bible; and why should
not the Hottentot give some
thing.
But what have they to give.

missionary, aft you will let me
have a Bible, | will do three DAYS
work in your garden" To this
the missionary agreed and as he
considered the young mans Ia
Dor was worth a shilling a day,

-Four other people brought
goats, worth four shillings each;
and two brought lambs, worth
three shillings each; and for these
they got Bibles. lTI1 ip,3E1|
In the Sunday school when
the missionary said that there
were Bibles to be bought, one
said Il have got a goat, l shall

Another said, 81 will run and ask
my father for a goat" Thus
were the goats exchanged for
