A New Orleans paper tells us of
a printer, who, when his fellow
workman went out to drink beer,
put in the bank the exact amount
he would have spentif he had gone
with them to drink.
He did this for five years.
He then looked at his bank
account, and found that he had
laid up FIVE hundred and twenty
one dollars and eighty-six cents.
In five years he had not lost a
day because of sickness. Three
out of five of his fellow-workman
had in the meantime, become drunk
ards.
The water, drinker then bought
out the printing office and in twenty
years from the time he began to
put by his money he had laid aside
good many thousands of dollars.
The story teaches lesson which
every little boy should lay to heart.

Singular Surnames.

'sSingular Surnames," collected
by the late Edward d. Ingraham,
Esq, (edited by William Duane,
ESQ., is a quaint collection Of
''odd'' names, illustrated by the
rich humor Of Mr.. Ingraham, and
also of some names which, by rea>
son of their familiarity, are no
longer s'odd," but which will some~
times get into singular juxtaposl>
tions with each other, and with
incongruous circumstances. Thus
"Call & Settle was the name of a
firm which professed to give long
credits to their customers. "Neal
& Pray" was the title of q house
in New England, of which both
members were any thing but
religiously inclined. g Rob 4
Steel was another firm in which
both members were noted for their
honorable character-quite as much
so as "Wright 4 Justice who
we're their neighbors. "U. Ketch'
EN- & I. Cheatham" is we'll
known old incongruity; but the
marriage of Benjamin Bird, aged,
sixty, to Julia Chaff, aged twenty,
showing that Gan old bird may be
"caught by CHAIR is not SO familiar
nor is the marriage of George Vir'
tue to Susan Vice. These collec'
tions Of familiar names are ''odd'
enough; and so it is when we fine
in newspaper paragraph that Johr
Makcpeace has been arrested fol
instigating riot, or when parsor
Playfair is charged with cheating
at cards.

Fallen Man and Woman.

Man, sunk below his natural
level hates and affects to despise the
height where he has walked. Wo~
man, fallen from her fair estate,
looks ever back to it with longing
and regretful eyes. He proclaims
himself not worse than MS fellows;
endeavors to pull those above down
to his level. She admits her fault;
deplores it; is glad there are wo-
men so much better and more for
tunate than she; strives to have
hope for the future, and listens with
bounding blood to every voice that
brings back to her the spotless past.
Never does she quite renounce
morality, humanity claims her to
the last. Miserable, down n-trodden,
wholly forsaken, she looks up from
the dross and mire, and hears the
lark of her love still singing at
the gates of heaven.

Tripping lightly along on her path thro

Position in Sleeping.

Sleeping rooms should always be
so arranged if possible, as to allow
the head of the sleeper toward the
North. Frequently, in case of
sickness, person will find it i'm.
possible to obtain rest if the head is
in any other direction, and often
cure is retarded for a long time.
A Vienna physician had patient
who was suffering from acute rheu>
matisn, with painful cramps run
ming from the shoulders to the fin
gers and while his head was
toward the South he could do moth
ing for his relief. On turning the
bed, however, SO that the head was
toward the North, the patient
uttered expressions of fpleasure, and
in few days he was almost entirely
cured. Many other cases are given
by scientific persons, and people in
building houses should always have
this in view.

MoNT.-They are having Baxter
Brooks war in one of the school districts
of Waterford. A member of the COM
mittee hired woman to teach school for
the summer, without consulting the 9TH
er two members, but they didn't propose
to have things run that way, so they ap-
pointed a man. On Monday morning
the pedagogue took possession of the
school house and blockaded the door.
The young lady soon came and coaxed
and threatened, but in vain. She was
finally admitted as visitor, however,
but no sooner had she got in than she
assumed command, and whatever the
man told the pupils to do she told them
not to do. Neither has yielded yet, and
there is great excitement in the district,
but no blood has been shed.

dragging the rivers and ponds. The
young man had an excellent disposition,
and was much liked by the community.

BURGLARY nj Monfnelier.

On Thursday morning of last week it
was discovered that burglary had been
committed by which two safes had been
entered and such contents distracted as
suited the burglars. 1t appears that
early Thursday morning Mr.. John Lease,
harness maker, went to the store of A.
Il f. Johonnott, leather dealers on South
Main street, for some purpose, and found
the front door unlocked, no one being in
the store and the fragments of their
safe door lying on the floor, and the con-
tents of the safe strewn about promiscu-
ously. He Immediately went to the
house of Mr.. A. Johonnott, and notified
him. When Mr.. Johonnott arrived at
his store large crowd had collected and
were inspecting the ruins" and specu-
lating as to who could have done it.
How it was done, the marks of the pow.
der, the sledge. hammers, wedges and
other tools taken from one OF the village
blacksmith shops, plainly indicated
Messrs. Johonnott's loss is little over
$500 in cash, and possibly government
bond of $500, the property of an estate
of which Mr.. A. Johonnott is admins.
TRAITOR; though it mag turn out that the
bond was not in the safe. Two Montpe
lier town bonds were left by the burglars
perhaps they did not regard them good
and perhaps they thought them too good
as likely to be means of their detection
The papers that were in the safe were
badly mixed and scattered about the
store. The report of the explosion wa:
heard by those in buildings near by, but
it was not sufficiently loud to cause any
suspicion of burglary, and SO no notice
was taken of it.
While the store of Messrs. Jchonnott
was being inspected, report came that
the safe of Messrs. Keith & Peck, leather
dealers on North Main street, had also
been robbed. In this case the safe was
opened by the key and not by powder
1t appears that the burglars went to the
house of Mr.. Alonzo T. Keith, entered
the same through the parlor window
went up stairs to Mr.. Keith's bedroom
took his pants from across the foot o
his bed into the chamber hall, and Sc
cured from the pocket his safe key, no
neglecting little silver coin that hap
pened to be in his pocket and on theil
way out of the lower hall they took tn,
store key from his overcoat pocket, thu
securing easy access to the inside of BIZ
safe. The loss of this firm was only
about $50, and the scattering the con
tents of their safe about the store. Here
the burglars declined postal order o
about $40, probably not desiring it a
evidence against them. They kindly
left Mr.. Keith both his keys. No clu,
to the burglars.
