fellow turned away. stop, my friend, ,

GRoCERS' SwNDLEs The American
Grocer has been interesting itself in ex-
posing certain frauds which are certainl y
practlced in packing goods for market
Mackerel kits are, it is said, almost in
variably short weight. Boxes of raisnS
which should weigh twenty-five pound;
net are found to average not more than
eighteen or nineteen, and baking powders,
spices, and other goods put up in pack
ages, not excepting flour and pork. are
sometimes as much as twenty per cent
short Similar practices prevail to some
extent in canned goods. These trickeries
have originated in competition among re-
tail dealers, customers buying package:
which sell at the lowest rates, without
taking the pains to ascertain whether the
contents come up to the prescribed weight
The Grocer keeps standing at the head o
its columns the very sensible advice to it,
readers to "cOunt, measure, weigh ant
gauge everything you buy"

knows his friends are Of that party
Presidents Message.
Used to do so, Mr.. President But the
negro is beginning to discover that the
friendship of the Republican party for his
race is like the affection Of hunter John
Meyers for his dog. The dog and the
hunter We're very fond OF one another,
and everywhere the hunter went the dog
went too Once roaming in forest where
there was no game, the old hunter got
lost, and wandered about until he was on
the verge OF starvation. At last, having
no other resource, he cut the dogs tail off,
cooked and ate it, and then, in the super
abundance of his affection for the faithful
creature, gave the poor dog the bone

Message, can apply the fable and find its

STATE CURIOsITIEs. The correspondent
OF the Philadelphia Press, "Olivia, writes
OF the ancient papers at Washington
about TO be moved into their new receptt-
cle as follows: TEe most precious of all
the ancient archives are the private papers
OF Gen Washington, purchased by Con
gress after his death. Jared Sparks and
Washington Irving have gathered the
grain OF the golden field, and the writer,
like modest Ruth, is only simple cleaner
In the most beautiful and exquisite way
our own Irving has told us all that which
goes to make his hero the most perfect
character of ancient or modern times, but
according to the archives he left out a
great deal the world would like 10 know,
for the papers state that it took great
number OF adhesive plasters to strengthen
his majestic back, with any quantity OF
caiOmel and universal balsam' to keep
the corporeal peace within. The impor-
tation of ''dressed pumps" powders,
wigs, and other masculine finery Of those
days, shows that no character is 50 exalted
that it loses entirely the divine weakness
OF humanity, and if the curious inquirer
after truth wishes to learn that all men are
simply men, nothing more or less, the de

The WORLD. This world is serious
world, aud human life and business are
also serious matters-not to be trifed with,
nor cheated by sham and hypocrises, but
to be dealt with in all truth. soberness and
sincerity. No one can thus deal with it
who is not himself possessed OF these quail
ties, and the result of a life is the test
OF what virtue there is in it. False men

A good story is told Of the times sixty
years ago or more, In town not far
from Boston there lived married pair,
childless for seventeen years. Both covet-
ed children, and for their consolation had
adopted one or two. AT the expiration of
the seventeen years, 10 a son was born to
them. The happy mothers name was
Sarah. The minister ofthe village church,
which was Of the straightest sect of the
Orthodox, had keen relish for a Joke pro-
vided it was sufficiently grave. The happy
father of the late-born child was one OF
the leading singers, and not only he but
the entire congregation were sensibly af-
fected when the minister the next Sunday
gave out the hymn containing the lines;
