Pail Mall Gazette.
Beyond the fact that young ladies oc-
casionally fish, or are alleged to fish
for husbands, there would at first sight
appear to be but little connection be-
tween matrimony and fishing. But in
some parts of Scotland the herring sea-.
son is equivalent to the London season.
as regards matrimonial prospects. IL
the season is dull one weddings are
few in number, whereas, when the
season is brilliant young couples sspair
off, with comparative briskness. This
year the failure in the herring fishery
has had, it is said, very depressing
effect on the matrimonial market at
nearly all the fishing stations. The de-
crease in the marriages in the three
months ending Sept. Goth, Last. is very
considerable. In the1Island of LeWes,
with upward OF $4,000 inhabitants,
there were only two marriages, and in
Wick, with a population Of 5000, the
number of marriages was only thir-
teen, being rather more than half the
usual total. Over the whole of Ross
and Bromarty, with about $4,000 in
habitants, there were only thirty mar
riages. The fishermen, in short, seem
to be displaying the same kind of will
ness as the behring's.

From the Burlington Hawk-Eye.
We are willing to bet three cents
that three men out Of four who read
it will doubt it. But it is positively
true. Tt shows that all the virtue In
the world isn't in the graveyard yet.
About three months ago young
Frenchmen entered Burlington
wholesale store, and accosted the pro-
prietor. He said he was a marble
sculptor, seeking work. lie could not
find it here, and wanted to be directed
to some other town. He had no money
and no friends. The gentleman adj
vised him to 90 to Mount Pleasant,
where there are marble works, which
might have work for him. '.How

man. about seventy-fye cents, =

said there was no necessity for his
walking, and gave him seyenty-fiye
cents to pay his fare. The same day

he had found job in Burlington, but
would like to use the money to buy a
chisel that he needed. Certainly said
the merchant. use it. The young man
went away, and the merchant thought
no more of it,. After many days the
Frenchman came back to pay the six
bits. He had been at work, had receiv-
ed some wages, and wanted to pay his
debt The knowledge that he had as
sisted worthy man gave the mer-
| chant much more pleasure than a
hundred fold the little amount of
money could have done. The conscien-
tious honesty Of the young stranger
shows him to be most worthy man.

| conduct is an instance of honest prin-
ciple which deserves to be put on rec

TIE GIFT OF EMPTY HANDS.


They were two princes doomed to death;
Each loved his beauty and his breath;
Leave us our lie and We will bring
Fair gifts unto our lord, the king"
They went together. In the dew
A charmed bird before them flew.
Through sun and thorn they followed it:
Upon the others arm it lit.
A rose, whose faintest flush was worth
All buds that ever blew on earth,
One climbed the rocks to reach ali, well,
Into the others breast ii tell. :
Weird jewels, such as taries wear,
When moons 90 out, to light their hair,
One tried to touch ON ghostly ground;
Gems of quick fire the other found.
One with the dragon fought to gain
The enchanted fruit, and fought in vain,
The other breathed the gardens air
and gathered precious apples there,
Backward to the imperial gate
One took his fortune, one his tate;
One showed sweet gifts from sweetest hands
The other torn and empty hands.
Atbird. and rose. and gem, and fruit,
The king was sad, the King was mute:
At last he slowly said: "My son,
True treasure is not lightly won.
'sYour brothers. hands, wherein you see
Only these scars. show more TO me
Than ii a kingdoms price | found
In place of each forgotten wound"

printing machinery and falls into the
lower box, and in less than a quarter
Of a second it is printed and numbered
and stored in the other box. All that
the man has to do is to keep the upper
box filled with cards, remove the low

including the printing, the mixing LOT
the type, and the moving and storing
of the tickets.
The numbering is done by four
wheels, with their centers in hori-
zontal line, thus forming a cylinder
These wheels have raised numerals on
their edges, which imprint themselves
on the tickets. The wheel which
bears the numerals in the unit place
moves 50 that fresh type is ready for
each successive ticket: that in the
tens place at one-tenth that rate, and
| so on.
The next step of counting the tick
cts is a curious one. Though the
greatest care is taken to insure accu-
racy, mistakes will occur in printing
the numbers on the tickets. Some
times a number is omitted some
times twotickets are printed with the
same number. To provide against
such casualties they are printed and
counted, and as it is impossible for
human eye and memory and Judgment
to be infallible they are counted by
machinery. This machinery also con-
sists of a table with two boxes as be-
fore. This time the table is simply a
table with a hole in it large enough to
allow the number of a ticket to be
seen through. At the side of the
table is cylinder wheel similar to
that above described. The number
on the cylinder is adjusted to the same
as that printed on the first ticket to be
counted. The tickets are in consecu-
tive order. AS a boy turns handle
they are jerked from the upper box to
he lower, showing their numbers I'M
der the hole. The cylinder wheel re-
wolves at the same rate, and therefore
the number on each ticket and that on
the wheel ought to agree. If they do
not agree, then is is evident that a
, number has been omitted or perhaps
duplicated. The deficient ticket being
supplied or the surplus one removed,
the tickets are pressed together by
machinery, tied, packed, and sent to
their destination.

A SUM In ARITHMETIC.

There came into our school one day
\ white haired man. With pleasant smile
He greeted us, and sitting down,
Said he would like to rest awhile.
Twas time to have Arithmetic.
The teacher said: "Now all give heed:
Put up your books and take your states,
And do the sum which will read"
Our books went IN, our states came cut,
And then the teacher read the sum:
We tried and tried and tried again,
But couldn't make the answer come.
And then the old man said to US,
With kindness twinkling in his eyes
"Who gets the answer first shall have
A silver shilling for prize"
Then Tommy Dode resolved to cheat,
And, slyly taking out his book,
When he supposed he was not seen,
A hasty glance inside he took
At once the answer Tommy finds,
"And now I've got it. sir" he cries,
The teacher thinks Tom worked the sum,
And tells him he has won the prize.
But that old man had seen it all:
Those twinkling eyes had watched the trick
swell done, my boy" he said ''youseem
To understand Arithmetic.
"But now, before give the prize,
I'll let you try a harder sum:
Another shilling you shall have
If you can tell how tina. is DONE"
And then, with kindest voice and look,
He gently said to Tommy Dode:
"What shall it profit you my lad,
To gain the world and lose your seuls'
| Then Tommy Dode hung down his head,
! The tears began to fill his eyes,
| and all the scholars wondered why
He would not take the silver prize.
