The following story may have
gone the round of the newspapers
but it is good enough for re-teHing,
since Dickens said oft: "You must
know that 1 appropriated that story
and acquired immense reputation
by itp' 1t occurs in a paper of
"reminiscences in Scribner for
October, entitled "a Yankee Tar
and his Friends"
On one of Captain Morgan's voy
ages from America to England, he
had under his care very attractive
young lady, who speedily distin-
guished herself by reducing five
young gentlemen to the verge of
distraction. She was quite ready
to marry one; but what could she
do with five? In the embarrassment
of her riches she sought the cap
tain, who, after few moments
thought, said; Its fine calm day;
suppose, by accident, you should
fall overheard; I'll have a boat low
cred, ready to pick you up, and you
can take the man who loves you
well enough to jump after you"
This novel proposition met the
young lady's views, and the pro-
gramme was accordingly carried
out with the trifiing exception that
four of the young men took the
plunge, and, being picked up by
the boat, presented themselves a
dripping quartette upon the ships
deck. The object of their undamp-
ened ardor, no less wet than them
selves, fed to her state room and
sent for her advisor, the Captain.
"Now, Captain" cried she in de-
spair, 'what am 1 to dor "Ah, my
DEAR" replied the Captain, 'if you
want a sensible husband, take the
dry one''-which she did.

pitch In"

Come, young ladies, the time for
folly, foolishness and fashion is
about gone. The sooner you pitch
in and make yourselves more useful
and less ornamental the better for
you. Everybody doesn't own a
bank, and men amt around buy
ing household pets and wall flowers
for wives. The stock of sold fools
is about run out, and Betsy Jane
and Hannah Ann will be in demand
after awhile by sensible men, who
want helpmates and not help eats.
Pitch in, help your mother, learn
something from her before she dies
and leaves you an idle. ignorant do
nothing stumbling block in the
road of life for others to run against
and fall over. Go to work. 1t
must come. These are terrible times,
and the sooner you realize the aw-
full facts and condition of things in
everyday life the better it will be
for you, Tsie your mothers place
in the dining room and the kitchen,
and give her a rest Show dis
position to help her, even if you are
in the way. 1t will cheer her old
heart to know that you are willing
to help her, even if you don't know
how. Pitch in and try at any rate.

A Salutatory Remark.

When l was young man, there
lived in our neighborhoOd farmer
who was usually reported to be a
very liberal man, and uncommonly
upright in his dealings. When he
had any of the produce of his farm
to dispose of, he made it an invari-
able rule to give good measure
rather more than would be required
of him. .One of his friends OBJ
serving him frequently doing so,
questioned him as to why he did it;
he told him.he gave too much, and
said it would be to his disadvan-
tage. Now, dear reader, mark the
answer of this excellent man: "God
has permitted me but one journey
through the world, and when l am
gone 1 cannot return to rectify mis-
takes.
Think of this. There is but one
journey through life.

The Force Of Truth.

Dreadful limits are set in nature
to the powers of discrimination.
Truth tyrranizes over the unwilling
members of the body. Faces never
lie, it is said. No man needlbe de-
ceived who will study the changes
Of expression. When man speaks
the truth in, the spirit of truth, his
eye is as clear as the heavens.
When he has base ends, and speaks
falsely, his eye is muddy, and some
times asquint. We have heard an
experienced counsellor say that he
never feared.the effect upon a jury
of a lawyer'who does not believe in
his heart that his client ought to
have a verdict.

Seven Minds.

Mind your tongrsi Don't let it
speak hasty, cruel or unkind words.
Mind your eyesi Don'tl permit
them to look on wicked books, pic
lures or objects.
Mind your eorsi Don't suffer
them to listen to wicked speeches,
songs or words.
Mind your lipsi Don't let tobac-
co foul them. Don't let strong
drink pass them. Don't let the
food of the glutton pass between
them.
Mind your hands, Don't let them
steal or fight, or write any evil
words.
Mind your feel Don't let them
walk in the steps of the wicked.
Mind your he0ysi Don't let the
love of sin dwell in it. Don't give
it to Satan, but ask Jesus to make
it his throne.

When I Marry.

From the Sunny South.
When l marry, l hope to secure
a wife, not lady of the cuisine, nor
yet chamhermaid.
1 know that for these words, |
shall be considered a hereto by the
orthodox, but after all their social
conons and dogmas, / cannot eradi
cate from my mind genuine ad-
miration for the girl who wages a
war of rebellion against the kitchen.
When 1 marry, the less my wife
has to do with that department of
the household, the better for the
peace of the family.
have never yet seen the wo
man who could do the honors Of
the kitchen without getting fustered
and hot. And l am not a devotee
at the shrine of fiustered and hot
women.
Besides, they generally issue
therefrom in a costume that looketh
and smelleth peculiarly. And L am
sure that if there be aught that
would cause me to seek the services
of a divorce lawyer, 1t is costume
that looketh and smelleth peculiar
ly. For it is exceedingly obnox
ious both to the heart of lover
and also to his stomachic equilibri-
um.
l confess to the desire for wife
who is not above the vanity of fash
ion plates and mirrors, and who
knoweth more of the piano than of
the stew kettle.
May the fates deliver me from
one who shall lose her identity in
preserve pots, and who shall care
more for her pickles than for hus
band. If this was such an unsenti-
mental age, L should say that 1
never think of a noble woman with
out exclaiming, "God bless herr
But, somehow, 1 forget to ask doth
she excel in the frying of dough
nuts?
When 1 marry, / want just such
noble woman. PerchancP l shall
desire something in the line of
doughnuts, but L expect to get it
through another transaction.

madame. QUIPPLE YARRow.

Work.

When we Dlurmur about our work
we seldom reflect how much more
pitiful would be the condition of
the most laborious among us if we
were suddenly to be deprived of it.
We often look upon it as a burden,
when in reality it is a blessing in
disguise. We picture to ourselves
how much happier we should be
without it and envy those who are
born in heritage of idleness; when
we should be, in truth, the most
wretched beings alive could we ex.
change places with them for a day.
What an angel of mercy has it
proved to manyi what a solace for
vacant hours! what a panacea for
troubles, sentimental or otherwisel
Did John Bunyan bless it, think
you, in Bedford Jail, where he be-
guiled the time with toiling over
his Pilgrims Progress? Has it not
to many mind dis
eased, plucked from the heart many
a rooted sorrow? Is it not the only
sure aDtidote to ennui? a remedy
against host of ills to which flesh
and spirit are heir? Has it not rem
dered us oblivious to injuries and
neglect.
We sometimes feel that if we
could only choose our work or ex-
change with another, we should be
better pleased and more successful;
then should we become earnest in
its pursuit; then should we cease to
slight and SANDER it, then would
our efforts be as spontaneous as the
birds song. But is it not wiser
for us to do honestly that which
falls in our way, if it be only to
darn stockings or to scour knives
without waiting for anything more
worthy of our strength or talents?
Is it a reproach to Him who assigns
it to suppose it is a mistake and
beneath our abilities, as
well as vanity in US to imagine our
selves capable of more ambitious
tasks? And are we not assured that:
"who sweeps room as by Gods laws,
Makes that and the action fine"

The Granger
81 Wish I Had Capital. y

We do not know the tauthor of
the following, but he breaches one
of the best practical business SER
mons to young mensthat we have
read this many day:
al wish 1 had capitals" so we
heard a great, strapping young man
exclaim the other day in our office.
We did want to give him piece of
our mind so bad, and. we'll just
write to him. You want capital do
you? And suppose you had what
You call capital, what would you do
with it? You want capital? Havn't
you got hands and feet, and bone
and muscle and brains--and don't
you call that capital? What more
did God give to anybody? 'Oh,
but they are not money" say you?
But they are more than money. and
no one can take them from you.
Don't you know how to use tbem2
If you don't, it is time you were
learning. Take hold Of the first
pillow, or hoe, or broad axe that you
can find and go to your work. Your
capital will soon yield you large
interest. Ay, but there's the rub.
You dNR't want to work; you want
money on credit that you may play
the gentleman and speculate. and
end by playing the vagabond. Or
you want plantation and negroes,
that you may hire an overseer to at
tend to them, while you run over
the country and dissipate, or you
want to marry some rich girl who
may be foolish enough to marry
you for your good looks, that she
may support you.
Shame upon you, young man!
Go to work with the capital You
have, and you'll soon have interest
enough upon it and with it to give
YOU as much money as you want,
and make you feel like a man. If
you can't make money upon what
capital you have, you could not
make it if you had million dollars
in money. If you don't know how
to use bone and muscle and brains,
you would not know how to use
gold. If you let the capital you
have be idle and waste and run out,
it would be the same if you had
gold; you would only know how to
waste.
Then don't stand about like
great helpless child, waiting for
somebody to come in and feed you,
but 90 to work. Take the first
work you can find. no matter what
it is, so that you can be sure to do
it as Billy did his drumming-well
Yes, what you undertake, do it well;
always do your best. If you man
age the capital you already have,
you will soon have plenty more to
manage; but if you can't or won't
manage the capital God has given
you, you will never have any more
to manage.-Boston AgriculturaIist.

What is celluloid?

Celluloid is a new and very valu-
able material recently discovered
and now being brought extensively
into use.
This material is composed princi-
pally of white paper and gum cam
phcr, dissolved by certain solvents
and then formed into a solid mass
by heavy pressure. 1t is suscepti-
BILE of receiving any conceivable
color, and to such an extent that it
is now made to resemble ivory,
coral, jet, hard rubber, amber, tor
toise shell, malachite Or any desired
material, and SO close is the resem-
blance of the Celluloid to any Of
these materials, that it is almost
impossible for the best judges TO de-
tect the imitation from the genuine.
1t is susceptible OF very high
polish, and can be moulded into any
desired form. 1t is entirely imper-
vious to moisture of any kind, and
acids will not in the least affect it.
1t can be so prepared that it will
be quite as hard as granite, or as
pliable as pure rubber. Being made
of such simple and well known pro-.
ducts, it emits no Objectionable
odor as is the case in many other
compounds, neither is it affected
in the slightest degree, by warm or
intensely cold climates.
Celluloid is used in the mannfac-
ture of a variety of articles which
have heretofore been made of ivory,
hard rubber, jet and coral, among
which may be mentioned dental
plates, jewelry, in large quantities
and great variety, combs hair
brushes, billiard balls, piano keys,
knife, umbrella, parrsol, whip and
cane handles; chess men, pencil
cases, napkin rings, eye glass frames,
harness trimmings, watch cases, all
of which articles are TO be found in
their respective departments of
trade.
