The Inventor Of The wheclbarrOw

1t takes a great man to do little
thing sometimes.
Who do you think invented that
very simple thing called the wheel
barrow? Why, no less a man than
Leonardo da Vinci.
And who was he
He was a musician, poet, painter,
architect, sculptor, Psychologist, en-
gineer, natural historian, botanist,
and inventor all in one. He wasn't a
Jack at all trades and master of
none, either. He was a real master
of many arts and a practical worker
besides.
When did he live?
Somewhere about the time that
Columbus discovered America.
In the beautiful city of Florence, in
Italy.
Perhaps some of you may feel a
little better acquainted with him
when tell you that it was Leonardo
da Vinci who painted one of the
grandest pictures in the world-"The
Last Supper "a picture that has been
copied many times. and engraved in
several styles, so that almost everyone
has an idea of the arrangement and
position at the table of our Lord and
his disciples; though l am told that,
without seeing the painting itself, no
one can form a notion of how grand
and beautiful it is.
And only to think of the thousands
of pooT, hard-working Americans who
really own in their wheelbarrow an
original work of Leonardo da Vim
ci!-M. Nicholas.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1876-04-08
Punctuality i'm all things.

1t is astonishing how many people
there are who neglect punctuality.
Thousands have failed in life from this
cause alone. 1t is not only a serious
vice in itself, but it is the fruitful pa
rent of numerous other vices, so that
that he who becomes the victim of it
gets involved in tolls from which it is
almost impossible for him to escape.
1t makes the merchant wasteful of
time; it saps the business reputation OF
a lawyer, and it Injuries the prospects
of mechanics who might otherwise rise
to fortune; in a word, there is not a
profession, nor station in life, which
is not liable to the canker of this des-
tructive habit
In mercantile affairs, punctuallity is
as important as in military. Many are
the instances in which the neglect to
renew an insurance policy has led to
serious loss. Hundreds of city mer-
chants are now suffering in consequence
of the want ofpunctuality among their
Western customers in paying up ac-
counts. With sound policy do the
banks insist, under penalty of a pro-
test, on the punctual payment of notes;
for were they to do otherwise, com
mercial transactions would fall into
inextricable confusion. Many and
many time has the failure of one man
to meet his obligations brought on the
ruin of a score of others, just as the
topping down, in line of bricks, of
the master brick causes the fall of all
the rest.
Perhaps there is no class of men less
punctual than mechanics. Do you
want an upholster? He rarely comes,
when he agrees. So with carpenters,
painters and nearly all others. Tail
ors and shoemakers often do not have
articles home in time. The conse-
quence is that thousands remain poor
all their lives, who, if they were more
faithful to their word, would secure Il
large run of custom, and so make their
fortune.-Scientitic american.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1876-04-08

The faithful dog began to wag his
tail and whine with renewed animation,
and John thought the CUR must be
coming surely. Life was Hweeter to
him now since hearing what Kitty had
said of himself than ever before, and
creeping to the opening be began get
ting out.
Kitty who was peeriIg anxlously I'D,
saw that the creature was moving
that it was coming towards her-and
giving spasmodic lutte scsream, she
sank helplessly to the ground and COW
cred her head with her aprei.
Kitty's distress made john for the
moment forget that he was the most
bashful man alive, and surely the arms
which Kitty felt encircling her waist
were not those of a wild beast.
Knowing this it did not need a great
amount of courage to enable her to
uncover her face, and see that the great
eyes which had so frightened her be-
