WHAT is THY NAME Pit is often the case
that persons who write on the whole legible
hand sign their names SO carelessly that q
stranger can scarcely make out what it is
Our experience has given indubitable evidence
of this. Any of our readers who may have
fallen into such habit would do well to learn
lesson from the anecdote told of Rev. w. S.
Potts, d. D..
When clerk in Philadelphia, he took bill
to Quaker, and had sigued the receipt with
one of those hicroglyphc cartouches, some
times seen on bank notes now. The Quaker,
taking up the paper, said, biandily:
"Friend, what is this at the bottom /? ("
"That, sir, is my name"
ssWhat is thy name
civilian S. Potts"
"WelD, William, will thee please to write it
down under here plainly, SO that a witness in
court could know it.
Ever after DR.. Potts wrote and lived so that
no man could mistakc.his word or letter.

WAGorNG ANOTHER BoNE.--A New Hamp-
shire schooLteacber was lately questioning
one Of his classes upon the anatomy Of the
human body, and standing upon one foot, ard
swinging the other foot and limb, he inquired
how many bones he was moving. Several in
correct answers were given at first, but after
It had been answered correctly the question
was asked if any of the scholars thought diff
erently. A little fellow, not yet in his teens,
raised his hand immediately, signifying that
he disagreed with his schoolmates, and the
teacher repeating the question, /" How many
bones was | movng?s was astonished to
hear the little chap increase the proper num-
Der by one, in the same breath giving as his
reason, You were moving your jawbone,
too.

The Or aaSTG;;i or THE pTREET.--Ralph
Waldo Emerson, in a lecture upon Oratory
said Every one has felt how superior in
force is the language of the street to that of
the academy. Ought not the scholar be able
to convey his meaning in terms rs sharp and
strong as the porter and truckman uses Tho
language of the men of the street is strong,
nor can you mend it by what you call parlia-
mentary. You say, if he could only express
himself. But he does already better than
any one can do for him. A man who knows
himself about the matter in hand eau always
get the ear of an audience to the exclusion of
everybody else The power Of their speech
is that it is perfectly understood by all, and
believe il to be true that when any orator at
the bar or in the Senate rises in his thought
he desccnds in his language. That is, that
when lie rises to any height Of thought or of
passion, he comes down to level with the
ear of all his audiences 1t is the oratory of
John Brown and Abraham Lincoln--the one
at Charlestown, the other at Gettysburg that
are the best specimens of oratory we have
had in this country. / observe that all distin-
guished poetry is written in the oldest and
simplest English words. There is point
above coass-.'Ass and below refinement where
propriety resides"

POETRY.
AUCTION EXTRAORDINARY.

Idreamed dream in the midst of my slumbcrs,
And fast rs dreamed II, it into numbers
My thoughts ran along in such beautiful meter,
Pm sure ne'er any poetry sweeter:
II seems that law had been recently made
That a tax old bachelors heads should be laid
And in order to make them all willing to marry,
The tax was as large IS a man could well carry.
The bachelors grumbled aud said twas use
Twas horrfd injustice and horrid abuse
And declared that to their hearts blood from
spillinx
OF such vile tax they would not pay shilling,
But the rulers determined them still to pursue.
So they set all the old bacbeiors'u up at veniue;
A crier was sent through the town, TO and fro,
To rattle his bell and his trumpet to blow,
And to call out to all he might meet in his way,
" Ho! forty old bachelors sold here to-day"
Aud presently all the old maids in the town,
Each in her very hest bonnet and gown,
From thirty to sixty fair, plain red and pale
OF every description all floeked to the sale
The auctioncer then in his labor began,
And called out aloud, Ms he held up u man,
" How much for n bachelor who wants TO buy ? z"
In atwiuk, every maiden responded, Ii"
In short, at highly extravagant price,
The bachelors all were sold of in trice;
And forty old maideus some younger some older,
Each luggcd an Old bachelor home on her shoulder

ETcHINe.-You can easily mark your name
upon steel by process called etching. Coat
over the tools with thin layer of wax or hard
tallow, by first warming the steel and rubbing
on the wax warm it until it flows and let it
cool. When hard, mark your name through
the wax with graver and apply some aqua
forts, (nitric acid) after few moments
wash off the acid thoroughly with water,
warm the metal enough to melt the wax, and
wipe it off with soft rag. The letters will
be found etched into the steel.

Every specie Of snake may be permanently
driven away from an infested place by plant
ing geraniums. In South Africa the Caffir
people thus rid their premises Of snakes. A
missionary of South Africa had his parsonage
surrounded by narrow. belt Of geranums,
which effectually protected tho residence from
any kind of snake. A few yards away from
this gernium belt snake would occasionally
be found. It's well known that the whole
geranium genus is highly redolent Of volatile
oils-lcmon scented, musk scented, and pep
permint scented. What therefore, is a very
pleasant noscgay for man is rcpugnant to the

THE HANDs.--People with few unfor-
tunate exceptions, have each two hands. We
should not mention this fact were it not that
in the education of our youth only one seems
to be generally considered Children are
taught to hold their knives in their right hand
when cutting their food, and when this neccs-
sary operation is completed to lay it down and
the right hand They are taught that when
ever only one hand is required the preference
is to be given to the right. Thus the left
hand is, with large majority Of people, a
comparatively useless member employed only
to supplement the other in all manual opera
tiuns. Without passing to inquire into the
Virgin of the senseIess custo,., 1. 10 sufivs--.
for our purpose to say that it has no founda-
ton in the anatomy Of the hand, or any natural
popularity of the human mind. AS well
might we teach children to hop about on their
right foot, to keep the left eye closed, and to
stop the left ear with cotton as to teach them
to magnify the value of the right hand at the
expense Of the left What excuse can there
be for neglecting the early and careful ipstruc-
ton Of both hands? We are not speaking Of
an impractical thing when We say it is possi-
bic to rear children SO that whatever one hand
can do the other may do equally well. We
know this has been accomplished in many no.
table instances where the disability of the left
hand has been rectfed in spite of all obstacles
arising from bad habits acquired in childhood.
We have seen SURGEONS transfer an instrument
from one hand to the other during an opera
ton, whenever convenience required it, with
out the least awkwardness. We have seen
draughtsmcn using both hands in coloriug
drawings, an immense advantage both in
rapidity of work and evenness of shading.
We have seen workmen chop timber fright
or left handed,' and one carpenter who to
hammer or saw with either hand with equal
facility. In all these cases the use Of the left
hand in common with the right gave much
greater efficiency Scientific american.

BE OF Coon CnEER.--A man who acquires
a habit of giving way to depression is on the
road to ruin. When trouble comes upon him,
instead Of rousing his energies to combat 1T,
he weakens, and his faculties grow dull and
his Judgment becomes obscure, and he sinks
in the slough of despair. And If anybody
pulls him out by main force and places him
safe on solid ground, he stands there detected
and discouraged, and he is pretty sure to
waste the means of help which have been
given to him. How different it is with the
man who takes a CHEEKY view Of life even at
its worst, and faces every Ill with unyielding
pluck /. lie may be swept away by an over
whelming tide of misfortune, but he bravely
struggles for the shore, and is very ready to
make the most Of the help that may be given.
A cheerful, hopeful, courageous disposition is
an Invaluable trait of character and should be
assiduously cultivated.

CunIous CHINESE Proverbs The ripest
fruit grows on the toughest wall. 1t is the
small wheels of the carriage that come in first.
The man who holds the ladder at the bottom
is frequently OF more service than he who is
stationed at the top of It. The turtle, though
brought in at the back gate, takes the head
Of the table. Better be cat i'll the philan-
thropists family than mutton-pie at n king $
banquet. The learned pig didn't learn its let
tiers in a day. True merit, like the pearl in
side an oyster, is content to remain quiet till
it finds an opening. The top Strawberries are
eaten first: lie who leaves early gets the best
hat. Pride sleeps in gilded crown content-
ment in a cotton nightcap.
