A young man was in position where
his employers required him to make
false statement by which several humid
red dollars would come into their
hands which did not belong to them.

their purpose To their great vexation.

not be induced to sell his conscience

employ, and you can enquire of him

1t was new fashion of getting
young mans recommendations, but the
gentleman called ON the firm. and found
that the only objection was that he was
'too conscientious about trifles." The
gentleman had not been greatly troubled
by too conscientious employees and
preferred that those entrusted with his
money should have a fine sense Of truth
and honesty, so he engaged the young
man. who rose fast in favor, aud became
at length partner in one of the largest
firms in Boston.
"A good name is rather TO be chosen
than great riches" Even unserupulous
men know the worth of good principles

person he might know as suitable for

this same man.
"You can depend upon him, he said,"
for he refused to work for me on the
Sabbath"
A gentleman who employed many
persons in his large establishment said

WELLINGTON WAS THERE.


The following anecdote Of the Duke
of Wellington, not generally known and
never before published. cannot but be
acceptable to the reader. IL exhibits

severance and foresight Of the duke. and
especially exonerates his grace from the
charge raised against him by many
writers of allowing himself to be sur
prised by Bonapartc while amusing him
self at ball at Brussels at the time re-
ferred to. At a dinner, a short time
since, the duke was asked, "Has your
grace seen the pamphlet published in
America, by General Grouchy, in an
swer to General Foy's attack upon him
respecting the maneuvres on the day
previous to Waterloo?" II have" an
swered the duke. land Grouchy has the
best of it. He could not move without
orders, and orders he certainly did not
receive. As to the maneuvres, know
all about them" You ?'' exclaimed
one of the party; everyone thought
your grace was in Brussels" II know
they did but they were wrong, for the
evening in question | and Gordon (who
was killed at Waterloo) left Brussels,
took squadron of escort, no one know

night in conference with Blucher Bu-

SUSPENDED ANIMATION.

A most remarkable instance Of sup.
posed corpse having been found to pos
sess signs of animation, and Of the per-
son really seeing restored to life, has
just transpired in YOnkers. A seven
year old child of machiuist named
Miller, having been in decline of health
almost from the time Of its birth, was
attacked by an unusually severe fit of
illness last week. 1t is understood that
the medicine prescribed was powerful
opiate. but whether this was the cause
or not, it is asserted that when the med
ical man called the second time. glance
at his late patient induced him to pro-
nounee the child dead The services of
an undertaken were procured, card oy
him the supposed corpse was prepared
for the last rites.
The undertaken and his assistant. on
transferring the body to the easket in
which it was shortly to be inferred. were
struck with astonishment at the pecul-
lar appearance of the remains. 1t was
noticed that there was marked alb
sence of rigor mOrtis, or that stiffness
which is an inseparable concomitant of
departed life Three or four physicians
were sent for. and they at once COM
meneed thorough search for any lin
gering evidence of vitality that might
remain in the subject, resorting, among
other means, to that of tying cord
tightly on the fingers, whereby it was
seen that the nails changed color. plain
ly indicating that the heart had not
ceased to perform its all-important func-
tions. The approved manner of admin
istering restoratives was resorted to.
and accordingly more palpable degree
of vitality was procured. although it is
doubtful if the little one who was so
providentially rescued from a living
tomb can long survive the protracted
ordeal through which it has passed.

meat, could eat at separate table, get
far better wages, and in fact, was more
of man in America than at home.
This is the secret cf the emigrant move
ment, whether on the part of the Nor
wegian peasant, an underpaid and too
liberal minded German professor. or an
overworked middle class man in Eng
land. The convincing argument meat
twice day and better social position
will forever drive away that wolf from
the door of some political economists in
Europe to whom the Malthuslan doe

The DEATH OF DE KALB.-Above
them all lowered the gallant German at
their head. His sword was stained
deepest, his battle-cry rang clearest;
there was triumph, in the keen fash of
bis eye-if not the victor's triumph. the
triumph Of duty done. Three times he
led his willing men to the charge. Three
times they were forced back by superior
numbers. For numbers began to tell.
His horse was shot uuder him. His
head was laid open by a saber-stroke.
Jaquette. the adjutant of the Delaware
regiment. bound up the wound with his
scarf, and besought him to withdraw
from the fight Without needing the
appeal. De Kalb led the charge on foot.
Wound followed wound, but be held bis

THE CENTENNIAL BUILDINGS.

A peep at the Centennial buildings
in Philadelphia shows the great work to
be going on with wonderful rapidity.
Ten days ago the vast hall for machin-
cry was finished, and the floor was be-
ing marked in squares and numbered
for the articles that are to be exhibited.
Through the centre of this building.
which is nearly quarter of a mile long,
is railroad track, so that the heavy
nllohiuery will be delivered dirvet f.vr.
the cars. ~ .r.s
The Art building, beautiful struct-
ure of granite. is about enclosed. and
swarm of workmen are completing the
dome, while others are plastering. The
State of Pennsylvania erects this struct-
ure, which is to be permanent, at cost
of one million dollars.
The Agricultural building is well un-
der way, will be exceedingly commOdi-
Gus, and has promise of the pictur-
esque. while the horticultural Hall
looks like an enchanted palace.
The main building is prOdigious, and
will be thoroughly done in six weeks.
One can hardly realize the vast proper
tions of this structure. The greater the
distance from which it is viewed the
grander its proportions seem.
The English have expended $4,000
in putting up row Of houses on the
grounds in the Elizabethan style. and
they have very jolly old English look
already. The japanese and Swedes are
at work on adjoining lots. A branch Of
the famous Trois Freres restaurant in
Paris is to be among the attractions.-
The cooks especially are to be imported.
Two immense new hotels are built close
to the Exposition grounds. And last.
but not least, the Grangers have rented
a farm in this vicinity, and propose to
have huge camp meeting, holding To-
600 Grangers at time, the hive to
swarm weekly. The grounds are singu-
larly beautiful. while the views of seen

They might as well have done it in

condition of the great work as any citi-
zen who saw proper to read the report a

1t Is also probable that there were very
few present at the meeting. The road
represents capital of 800, 100000. And
the huctuation of its stock may impover-
ish or inrich hundreds of holders. The
clutious citizen, however, invests but
small amounts where there is danger of
loss. This great road has attained a
wonderful success, and now boasts that
it has not dollar of floating debt, while
its stock ha" gone up to a very high fig
