The Chain.MaKers.

Billy Dawson, the celebrated York.
shire farmer, once appealed to drunk
ard in the following language "Sup'
pose yourself to be q servant, and youl
master were to come in the morning and
order you to make a strong chain on
the following morning he came again,
and urged you to get on with it +; and
thus, day by day, you were ordered by
your master to do the same job. Sup
pose again, that while you were work
ing, person came in and asked if you
knew what it was for and that you
answered in the negative, adding that
you did not care 80 long as you got your
wages. But this person tells you that
he knows it to be fact, that it is your
masters intention to bind you with it
in perpetual bondage would you, 1 ask,
add another link to it?"
The man answered, "No; and all the
money in the world would uot hire me
to do it."
Mr.. Dawson then told him that the
habits of drunkenness are Satan's chain,
in which he keeps poor sinners in per-
petual bondage, and that when they
have added the last link, he chains them
in his dominions forever. These words
80 impressed the mind of the man, that
his conscience continued to remind him,
IT am making another link for my
chain |" until he relinquished his wicked
course of life.

Words Of Wisdom.

We should esteem virtue, though in q
foe; and abhor vice, though in friend.
He who has guineas for his subiects,
is, unfortunately, the king Of most man.
Moderation is the silken string run
ming through the pearl chain of yir-
tues. ...- N
Though charity may make your purse
lighter oneday, yetit will make it heayies
another.
A man may start at impending danger
or vince at the sensation Of pain md
yet he may be true philosopher and
not be afraid of death. ~
A passionate man should be regarded
with the same caution as loaded
blunderbuss, which may Unexpectedly
go off and do us an injury. -
To enjoy life, you should be q little
miserable occasionally. Trouble, like
cayenne, is not very agreeable in itself,
but it gives great zest to other things.
Every man, in his more serious mo-
ments, must confess that he has done
few things in the course of his life he
would not wish undone; and experience
must have shown him that the things he
most feared would have been better than
those he most feared for.
The reason why there are so few IN
stances of heroism in modern times is the
total decay of political virtue; We are
broken up into small parties, and as
sociate only with our families, thus for
getting the public; in our regard for
private interest. The ancients were
taught rather to live for the benefit OF
the whole community.

Train the Working Power.

It may be very good thing for boy
to have great deal of native talent, to
he noted among his acquaintances rs "'i
very smart boy-one who is sure to
make his mark in the world" But it Is
still a very dangerous thing. 1t is 4
little curious we seldom hear of those
remarkable boys in after life. They
generally sink into very common people
at the very best oftener they are spoil
ed byinjudicious fattery in after life.
No bog, however talented, will ever
accomplish much whose working power
is not well trained. In whatever Line
that work may be, he must apply him.
self to it with an intense pUrposc-a
tireless industry. .
Sir Robert Peel was not a boy OF
brilliant talents, and he doubtless owe
his greatness more to his fathers early
training than anything else. He was
early drilled in the art of extempora-
neous speaking and when he went to the
parish church at Drayton he was called
upon, ON his return, to repeat all ne
could remember of the sermon. At first
this was very little, put by steady per-
severance he at last came to repeat
nearly the whole sermon every Sabbath.
No doubt those who listened to his
burning words in the halls Of parlia-
ment, and were astonished at kiI
wonderful memory in recalling point
after point used by his opponents, cons:l-
cred this 9 remarkable gift of nature. IS

A Haunted Cell.

About quarter to II o'clock, P. NJ,
turnkey Pardon, while making his rounds
past the cells of the old IRENE Station,
discovered that a piece Of twine was tied
from the inside of cell 16, better known
by the police in that precinct as the
"haunted cell" He Immediately opened
the door and found a young italian,
named Armand Orse, who had been
locked up for having been found at the
corner of Dumaine and Rampant streets
under suspicious circumstances, in the
ect OF placing the twine around his
ueck.
The turnkey asked him what he was
trying to do !. and he answered that he
wanted to hang himself. BE said that
from the time he entered the cell he felt
strange things creeping over him, and
heard some one calling him.
He was handcuffed and taken down
stairs for safe keeping. Strange to soy,
that in the past three or four years no
less than seventeen persons have at
tempted to destroy themselves in this
cell.-NeW Orleans Picayis,ae.

A Perplexed Deacon,

When Governor Gerry managed Mas
sachusetts, country deacon happened to
catch q fine salmon, and knowing that
the governor had particular liking for
that sort of fish, he determined to pre-
sent it to him. So the salmon was care
fully packed, and the deacon, in the
absence of railroads, started in his wagon
for Boston. On the journey he stopped
to dine, and telling at the table his er-
rand in regard to the fish, practical
Joker present could not resist the tempta-
ton of slipping out to the wagon and
changing the salmon for poor Goldfish.
The unconscious deacon went on to the
governors house, and after announcing
his gift, the two worthless opened the box
and discovered the favorous Goldfish.
Mortified, the poor deacon started for
home with his Goldfish, and stopping for
lunch at his dining place, the wag
secretly removed the codfsA and replaced
the salmon. When he reached home,
the deacon mournfully told the story to
an incredulous wife, who had herself
packed the salmon ; they opened the box
together. The deacon stared. "Well,
you are pretty good salmon when you
are in the country" said he; "but when
you are in Boston you are miserable
Goldfish"
