LEARN A TRADE.-I never look at my
old steel composing rule that l do not
bless myself that, while my strength
lasts, am not at the mercy Of the world
II my pen is not wanted can go back
to the type case and be sure to find
work; for learned the printers trade
thoroughly--news-paperwork, job work,
book and press work. I am glad l have
a good trade. 1t is rock on which the
possessor can stand firmly. There is
health and vigor for both body and
mind in an honest trade. 1t is the
safest and surest part of the self-made
man. From the school to the printing
office or the artisans bench; or if you
please to the farm for, to be sure, true
farming is trade, and grand one at
thnt. Lay thus sure foundation, and
after that, bran eh off into whatever
profession you please. e.-Greeley.

n Moore, Of the Rural Ne,o Yorker.
was sitting in his Office one afternoon
some years ago, when q farmer friend
came in and said:
"Mr. Moore, like your paper, but
times are SO hard I cannot pay for it. /"
SIS that SO, friend Jones? I'm very
sorry to hear that you are SO poor; if
you are 60 hard run will give you my
paper"
"Oh, no, I can't take it as gift"
"Well, then, let's see how we can fix
it. You raise chickens, believer"
Eyes. few; but they don't bring any
thing hardly"
Don't they? Neither does my paper
cost anything, hardly. Now. I have q
proposition to make to you. will con-
tinue your paper, and when you may
select from your lot one chicken and call
her mine. Take good care of her aud
bring me the proceeds, whether in eggs
or chickens, and we will call it square.
.'All right, brother Moore" and the
fellow chuckled at what he thought a
capital bargin. He kept the contract
strictly. and at the end of the year
found that be had paid about four pri-
ces for his paper. He often tells the
joke himself. and he has never had the
face to say he was too poor to take pa
per since that day.

~~Ne''
A DANBURY ACCIDENT One of the
most painful Of the accidents happening
on Independence Day. occurred to a
family living on Osborne street. Two
of the young sons had improvised a
cannon from an old gun barrel. The
father gave them pound of powder,
and took lively interest in the firing.
It WAS not an ornamental piece, but it
made u most astonishing noise, which
is of more importance.
Ram her down tight this time, sug-
gested the exultant father, little impa-
tient to increase the sound.
"But what will the Leighbors think!"
mildly protested his wife. You'll jar
their leads off,
"Fudge on their heads. This is the
glorious Fourth, and it don't come but
once year. Ram her down, boys, and
make her sing"
They did. They worked like veter-
ans, and put in lot of grass, and
hammered away at the wadding like a
pair of piledrivers. Then they fixed it
for touching off. The father was sit
ting on the fence, waving to and fro,
and smiling with all his might. The
match was applied. There was a siss,a a
flash, and then discharge which SEEM
ed to shake the very center of the earth.
At the same instant the patriotic father
left the fence backward, and went crash
ing end over end into the next lot, his
eyes and mouth driven full of dirt and
sand. The piece had exploaded, and a
portion of the barrel, weighing nearly
two pounds, few across the yard with
such force as to completely rend the
seats from two pairs of new overalls
hanging on line, and then plowing
into the earth just in front of the owner
of the garments, knocking him over as
stated. When he got on his feet, and
his eyes and senses sufficiently cleared
to learn what had happened, he unhesi-
tatingly said:
Come, now. there's been enough of
this cussed foolishness for one day.

people gazed sadly at each other across the black figure of the mother, who was attired as if for a funeral. Would Hiram Driggs relent, and give them more time? Was it not probable that he would appear and claim all? The young man could on- ly chafe at his own helplessless in the emergency and, inability to protect his own.
 The sound of flying feet made them all listen. Mrs. Bamber. breathless and without bonnet. rushed into the parlor and cast a leather purse down in Mrs. Platt's lap.
 "Oh, you needn't count it! I've done so dozen times already. Here's five thousand dollars, and the house is saved. '"
 Between laughter and tears she explain ed her unexpected wealth, and restored it to the wife of her benefactor of years ago. Then shadow crossed her face, just dim ming its brightness for moment. Much could have been done to advance the in- terests of Bamber's Drops, and place the remedy properly before an enlightened public, with the aid of this money. She plucked Charlev's sleeve in the midst of the thanks which overpowered all coherent speech, and said, tremuluouslY,
 s'You will not forget the Drops when you receive your diploma, will you, Char ley?" F v ---st.s- '.
 Neither the Drops nor my debt," re- turned Charley, in an unsteady voice.
 Then Mrs Bamber, through a mist of tears saw Charlotte Eaton rise, tall and proud, and take the purse from Mrs. Platt; for Hiram Driggs stood on the threshold.
 Thus very humble little woman placed her gift on the altar of the New Year.

THE REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATE FOR GOVERN oR.-Mr. Greene is man of sterling in- tsgrity, of high social position, of un- daunted courage and independence of character, who posses wlthal the warm affections of large circle of influential friends, and the respect of those with whom he may differ, ever so widely in thought and opinion. No man moreover in eastern Connecticut has SO large share of personal popularity among all classes of his fellow citizens, or could bring to his support for any public office so large a following. The peer of any gentleman who has held the gubernatOrial office since the days of the revolution in culture and ability, he is besides a practical man of business thoroughly identified with the interests and prosperity of his native city and state. Repeatedly called upon unan- imously to the mayoralty of the city, he has discharged the duties of the office, without emolument and without reward, so acceptably that after his earnest and repeated request his fellow citizens would not consent to his relinquishment of Its responsibilities. We warmly congratu- late the republicans of the state upon their choice of so able and true a leader, and the citizens of Norwich upon the high compliment conferred upon them in his selection. If the republicans of the western part of the state shall second with the same zeal the efforts for his cleo ton that will be made by the party in this district. MT. Greene will add another name to the honorable roll of citizens of Norwich, who, for able, unselfish, and pa triotic service, have deserved we'll of their state and country.-Nor-e0ich Bulletin.

 .'Why, I'm positive not, 1" said the doct or. ''for I should certainly have heard ot it if there had been death in the fami ly."
 'sThen," exclaimed Ike, raising his voice, and pointing to the long, lazy TOW of his sable brethren hanging on the pick, cts, ''what's all dis yer mournin' fer, strung along de fence?"
