Stick 20 Business.

A young lawyer is apt to become
disheartened, hacause briefs and cases
did not crowd upon him while he was
yet redolent OF calf.bound volumes,
and had small use for red tape, con-
cluding he had mistaken his calling,
so, plunged into politics, finally set
Ting down into the character of a
meddllng pettifogger, scrambling for
his daily bread. There is an honest
farmer who has toiled a few years,
got his farm paid for, but does not
grow rich vely rapidly, as much for
lack of contentment mingled with
his industry as anything, though he
is not aware of it. He listens to the
wonderful stories told of California,
and how fortunes may be had for the
trouble of picking them up; mort
cages his farm TO raise money, goes
away to the land of gold, and after
many months of hard toll, comes
home to commence again at the bot
tom of the hill for more weary and
less successful climbing up again
Mark the men in every community
who are notorious for ability and
equally notorious for never getting
ahead, and you will usually find them
to be those who never stick to any
one business long, but are always for
saking their occupation just when it
begins to be profitable. Young man,
stick to your business.

fulness good deal. True they
could have put pegs in the holes and
used me for hat-rack; but what is
a hat-rack to a man who feels he has
intellectual powers?
l have written this true incident of
my history for one purpose only-to
warn the youth of to-day against the
practice of dueling, and to plead with
them to war against it, l was young
and foolish when I challenged the
gentleman, and thought it very fine
and grand to be duelist and stand
upon the "feld Of honor" But
am older and more experienced now,
and am inflexibly opposed to the
dreadful custom. l am glad, indeed,
to be enabled to lift up my voice
against it. / think it is bad, i'm
moral thing. 1t is every mans duty
to do all he can to discourage duel
ing.
If a man were to challenge me, I
would go to that man and take him
by the hand and lead HIM to re-
tired room-and kill him.

The Song of the Printer.
Pick and click

Pick and click
Goes the type in the stick,
As the printer stands at his case;
His eyes glance quick, and his fingers pick
The type at rapid pace;
And one by one as the letters go,
Words are piled up steady and slow
Steady and slow,
But still / they grow.
And words of fire they soon will glow;
Wonderful words. that without sound
Traverse the earth to its utmost bound
Words that shall make
The tyrant quake,
And the fetters of the Oppressed shall break;
Words that can crumble an armys might,
Or treble its strength in a righteous fight.
Yet the type they look but leaden and dumb,
As he puts them in place with finger and thumb;
But the printer smiles,
And his work beguiles
By chanting n song as the letters he piles,
With pick and click,
Like the worlds cnfonomcter, tick! tick! ucK!
Oh, where is the man with such simple tools
Can govern the world as l?
With a printing press. an iron stick,
And little leaden die,
With paper of white, and ink of black,
l support the Right, and the wrong attack.
Say where is he, or who he may be,
That can rival the printers power?
To no mOnarchs that live the wall doth he glVe;.
Their sway lasts only an hour;
While the printer still grows, and God Only knows
When his might shall cease to tower!

A Serious Joke.
Austin (Nev.) Reveille.

There is a young gentleman in
this town who is looked upon as 4
sort of a woman-hater, and who, it
was believed until recently, would
not marry the handsomest and best
woman Oh earth, if every hair in her
head was Il Koh-i-noor diamond.
On account of leap year some young
ladies concluded to put up Job on
this young man, and arranged it for
one of their number to propose mar
riage to him, while the others watch
ed the fun through holes in parti-
ton. The gentleman was invited to
call at the house of the young lady
who was to do the proposing, and on
the designated evening he was there,
seated in the parlor, while the acces-
sories to the plot were stationed at
their eye-holes. After some desulto-
ry conversation about the weather
and the club party, the young lady
suddenly dropped on her knees be-
fore the gentleman, and in cndearing
terms declared her passion.
"Darling." she said, 81 long have
loved thee, but the cruel convention
alities of society have forced me to
conceal my passion. Leap year,
which gives to oppressed woman one
blessed privilege, is now here, and l
take advantage of it to tell thee that
l adore thee. Look not thus coldly
on me, dearest, spurn me not from
your presence. See me on my bend
ed knees imploring that you will not
say me nay. Grant me but one kiss
from those ruby lips; fold me to thine
arms and say that thou wilt be mine;
NINE, only mine, forever and for
aye"
Contrary to expectations the gentle
man displayed not the least astonish-
ment during the foregoing recital,
and when it was concluded he went
over to the stove, and, folding his
hands under his coattails, thus re-
piled:
"Tm told that your dad owns 100
shares of North Carson, and that
you've got two brindle bulldogs in
your own right and without encumb-
erance; likewise l am informed that
you are good hand at making slap
Jacks and biscuit; that you don't
chaw gum, which, by the way, is
powerful expensive these hard times.
In view of these facts l consent, and
leave it to you to name the day."
Horrified beyond expression, the
lady tried to explain that it was
but joke, but the gentleman would
not accept any such explanation, and
threatens breach of promise suit
unless she fulflls~,6er promise, in
which event he will summon the
peppers as witnesses.

A Remarkable Child Actress.

Olive Logan relates the following
anccdote in a letter from Washington
to the Chicago Times.
Last evening l was at delightful
dinner-party given by an ex-actress
(now married to a gentleman of
wealth here), and she told me a
laughable story about one of her ex-
periences on the stage with child.
1t came up apropos of the little child
actor who was performing here in
Daly's "Pique," who, like the boy
who stood up so straight that he
leaned backward, does his part so
thoroughly that he don't do it at all.
The tiny fellow has been told that
when certain sleeping potion is
given him he must pretend to go to
sleep, and so eager is he to do as he
has been instructed that no sooner
does the spoon touch his lips than he
topples over as if he were dead, be-
fore the opiate can possibly have
reached his stomach, let alone had
time to act.
The brilliant actress-our hostess
of last night-was playing the part
of "Leah" in one of the California
mountain towns. In this play, as
you will rembember, a child is a
prime necessity, the whole last act
bringing on the pathetic scene be-
tween Leah, the discarded Jewess,
and the child of her former lover
In the unmutilated condition of the
play, the child's part is quite prom
inent one, but it was found to be i'm
possible to instruct the only child the
town afforded tor stage purposes-a
long-legged, raw-boned, carroty-hair-
ed girl of eight or nine years-to say
such words as are set down by the
author. You remember the drift OF
this popular piece-how poor Leah,
deserted by the man she passionate
ly loved, wandcrs after years of va
grancy, to his door-the door of his
happy home, where he is living with
the wife for whom he abandoned
Leah. Leah is full of schemes of
vengeance against her former lover;
but she meets his child, and tondling
the little innocent, she asks of her
her name. "Leah," answers the
child. Her own name This is
enough for poor Leah. All her
schemes of vengeance and fury melt
IN air before the pathetic fact that
her lover has named his child after
her, and that his wife has consented
to it.
After being continuously stuffed
with sweetmeats from nine o'clock in
the morning till six at night, after
promising on her bended knees not
to forget to say "Leah" when asked
her name, the child was presumed to
to be thoroughly imbued with the
requisite knowledge, and was allowed
to depart to her supper.
In the evening, the theatre was
crowded. The play went off through
four acts thrillingly; in due course
the great child scene of the fifth act
comes on; the weeping Jewess knelt
upon the stage, caressing the carroty
locks of the long-legged infantlle.
"And what is your name, my dear
child?" asked she, weeping bitterly.
With brogue as thick as Lon
don fog, the dear child complacently
calculated: "Mary McGinnis, marm." +"

A Sad Soil on a Swell Swain.
From New York World.

From New YORK W World.
Thepresent proprietors of the Astor
House objected to having their par
lors turned into trysting places for
male and female fiirts, and the man.
ager of the hotel, Mr.. Lansing, play
ed an amusing joke recently upon
one young gentleman of this descrip-
ton, who came under his notice. He
found the following personal in 4
morning paper one day:
4 STOR HOUSE, FROM FULTON FERRY, IN
"A Fifth avenue stage. O'Clock, 2. M.-Lady in
seal skin sacque will please send address to the
gentleman whom she noticed in hotel parlor yes
terday, f. H. b., box ia, Herald Uptown Branch
office.
Forthwith he addressed a note to
f. II. b., penned in a female hand,
and appointed an interview in the
hotel on the following day. The
writer urged him to be discreet, and,
to make sure that there would be no
mistake, suggested that he would
walk up and down the main corridor
with an illustrated newspaper in his
left hand.
Punctually at the appointed hour,
F. II. b. made his appearance, dress
ed to kill, and for half an hour paced
the corridor pensively, with copy of
Harper's Weekly in one hand, the
hotel officers and the guests of the
house enjoying themselves greatly
meanwhile. Having finally left the
hotel IN despair, he put himself to the
expense of another personal. An
other note was written to him, and
he was brought to the hotel second
time, when rumor spread in the street
that Weston was walking on wager
in the Astor, and crowd poured in
to look at him. He was probably
the most crest fallen young man in
New York when the clerks finally
called him into their private Office
and opened his eyes.

A Novel Piece of Mechanism.
Detroit Tribune .

DeIolI lTlDuuc
Mr.. Andrew Gaudron, of 235 St.
Aubln Avenue, is, after nearly year
of constant labor, about completing
complicated piece of mechanism
intended to represent "The Resurrec-
ton of Washington" and which it is
his intention to exhibit at the Cen
tennial Exposition. The whole ap-
paratus Is enclosed in cabinet nine
feet high, three and one-half feet
broad, and two and one-half feet deep.
The lower half contains the machine
ry, and in the upper portion the
diorama is displayed. The scene is
fac-simile Of the tomb of Washing
ton. Upon one side stands an Amer
lean and on the other French
soldier of the present day, while at
the side and upon the recess beyond,
are painted allegorical figures and
emblems. The machinery, which is
quite complicated, is operated by a
spring similar to those used in clock.
When it is set in motion a minute
cannon is fired, bell is tolled, and a
curtain, suspended across the face Of
the recess of the cabinet, rises slowly
bringing to view the tomb and the
sentinel soldiers. The latter stand
at an "order." In the course of a
minute or so the tomb opens, a fac
simile of the father Of his country
arises therefrom. simultaneously,
the soldiers face toward the tomb
and present arms, and Washington
performs the usual military salutation.
Then there descends from the clouds
au American eagle, holding in its
tallons staff, on one end of which
is an American flag and upon the
other the national ensign of France,
carrying in its bcak a laurel wreath
with which it crowns the resurrected
Washington. The machinery con-
tinues to revolve, and the scene is
reversed and repeated as often as is
desired, each representation requir-
ing about three minutes. The fig
ures are made upon scale of about
three inches to the foot. The heads
are carved by Mr.. Julius Melchers,
and the bodies are minutely correct
and properly proportioned. The guns
carried by the soldiers are in exact
imitation of Springfield rifles, and
the costume of the soldiers is pattern
ed after the uniforms of the armies
of this country and France. The
dress of Washington is the same in
color any style as that worn by him
at the battle of Trenton. The con-
struction of this curious piece of
mechanism has brought out great
deal of ingenuity, and, as can be
readily surmised, embodies a great
amount of fine and skillful workman
ship. The inventor was formerly
employed at the Detroit Safe Works,
and also at the Pullman Car Works;
but of late, having fitted up a shop
in his own house, he has spent many
months in perfecting this representa-
ton of the resurrection of Washing
ton.

A Pastoral Helper.

An official of one of the railroads
centering in Detroit, says M Quad,
was beset by an old man for rail
road pass to Grand Rapids. The
stranger entered the Office with a big
cane in his hand and "woodsy" air.
He looked as if he had entered town
after an all nights wrestle with a
bad dirt road, and he had no sooner
stood his cane up in the corner than
he briskly inquired:
care you the free pass MANI"
The official hesitatcd little, and
the stranger amended his query by
asking:
"Wonld you give a preacher a pass
to Grand Rapids?"
Are you preacher"
"Kinder."
"You give me your word that you
are preacher, do you?"
"N-ot exactly" stammered the
stranger. 81 don't say Pm regularly
ordained"
owe can give passes to clergymen
occasionally, but we must know that
they are active dispensers Of the gos-
pei"
''That hits me-" cheerily replied
the old man, rubbing his hands. 81
calculate dispense more gospel
than any other man in Antrim
county,"
"But you just admitted that you
were not preacher" said the Off
cial.
"Not regular Squire. Pm what
you might call an assistant to regular
preachers. Pm sexton of church.
| can lead at a prayer meeting, and I
have started all the hymns that have
been sung in Antrim county for five
years past.''
The official smiled family, and
the stranger was encouraged to 60
on:
"Tm nearly a preacher. Folks send
for me when they are dying. I keep
order at camp meetings, and if any
body is to be dragged out of the
schoolhouse for swapping beans dur
ing prayer-meeting, Pm the one who
does the dragging"
'That's hardly being a regular
preacher" replied the official.
"No, Of course; but it's mighty
close on to it. It's so near that I hate
to walk to Grand Rapids. Pm on
call, Judge. If our preacher should
suddenly give out, I'd be the only
man within fifteen miles who could
stand behind his pulpit, and take his
place. They all know it, and Pm re-
spected accordingly. More'n half the
people call me 'parson,' or deacon
and fellers who have got into a jaw
about Daniel in the lions den, or
Moses in the bullrushes, have walk
ed five miles to have me set 'em
right"
The official made out a trip pass,
and as the stranger returned thanks
and picked up his cane, he added:
81 won't take up any more room
than can help, and rll leave my
satchel if you think the cars'll be
loaded too heavy. You have lent
this pass to the poor, and it's treasure
laid up in Heaven for you, where I
hope to meet you some day and tell
you how good it felt to roll along IN
your cars after jogging for eighty
five miles on foot"

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1876-12-23

At last on Thursday, the new bakery and con-
fectoncry establishment of Mr. Louis Hess, on
La Sale street, was opened to the public A
large number Of people visited the new store,
and were charmed with its neat and cheerful ap.
pearancc. and the large and varied stock Of can
dies, trusts, fancy candy toys-than which there is
no larger stock in the county-nuts, cakes can
ned goods, &c, &c. The stock is arranged with
a view to hardness and economy in labor and
space without sacrificing harmony and beauty
We are confident that all who accept his invita-
ton, hereby extended, to visit this store will APP
prove the Judgment already pronounced by those
who have already inspected block and stock.
A few words of personal nature will not, we
trust be cons idered out of place in this connec-
ton. Mr.. Hess has been connected with the New
England Bakery twenty years, six rs clerk and
fourteen as proprietor. During that long period
of time, by close attention to business, by uni
form courtesy to patrons, by giving every one
his moneys worth in the commodities purchased,
and by carefully studying and anticipating the
wants Of his patrons, he has succeeded IN acqulr-
ing large, lucrative and growing trade, and in
placing himself among the successful, reliable
and solid merchants of whom our citizens are so
justly proud. With his new facilities and en-
larged stock he is now able to offer inducements
that must necessarily bring him many new Gus
toners and large increase in sales
He desires, through the FREE TRADER, to eX-
press his thanks to the people of Ottawa and vi.
entity for tokens of their good will in the past,
and assures them that he will spare no effort in
the future to merit q continuance OF their very
liberal trade.
