SaUe the Boys.

Do American boys learn trades any
moreP One would suppose not, il the
multitude Of purposeless, aimless young
men cut of employmen. is any indication.
There was a time when the master me-
chanic bad his house filed with hearty,
young apprentices. and when the journey
men went from under his root to set up
in life for themselves. To men in middle
life The recoIlectlons OF those far-of times,
when the master, his men and boys, form
ed q strong productive industrial group,
seem ike the memory of primitive aye.
Sons of rich and educated men did not
think it beneath them to swing the broad
ak in the shipyard, or the sledge-hammer
at the anvil. Or they went 10 sea before
the mast, and climbed TO the quarter-deck
from the forecastle. In family OF boys.
one would be sent TO college, one might
possibly go into mercantile pursuits, and
the others would choose their trades, alter
many anxious but CHEEKY family councils.
Now-s-days the young lads shrink from
the irzsome confinement of the mechan-
ic's shop. II they cannot go to college,
and so while away thoir youth, they mus
Ego into store;" anything but work.
We do not beiittle the vocation OF a clerk
or salesman. when we say that to be IN
one or tho other of these callings appear
to mos, young men the most comfortable
thing. OF sll the pursuits which men
follow. this seems TO require the least
preparation. At any rate, the men who
are net willing TO make themselves USE
ful more naturally !urn TO the shop OF the
retail trader than to have any other source
of employment. They never have learn
ed q trade. They like to wear good
clothes, and keep their hands soft and
white.
II they cannot stand behind counter
or desk, or secure political influence suffic-
lent TO push them into an Office OF some
sort, they drift simlessly about, looking
for employment which never comes.
False ideas of living and extrayagant
notions are responsible for good deal
OF this hopeless misery. Young lads are
brough. up to consider manual labor
degrading, and fond, foolish parents
sometimes seem to prefer that their chill
dren should go out into the world help
less rather than that they should learn a
trade.

The power of excitement to rouse
even the dying was illustrated in the case
of Daniel Gallagher at Masontown, Pa.
supposed 20 be fatally stabbed in an elec-
tion row. The priest had been called to
receive Gallagher's last confession, bat
he was so far gone that the iather had to
put his ear close to the dying mans mouth
10 catch his words. The smell and sight
of the blood made the priest faint, and
be was finally SO overcome that he fell to
the floor in q swoon. This so excl ed the
dying Gallagher that he jumped from his
bed aud ran to the priests assistance.
Finding him insensible, Gallagher ran
down stairs and appeared to the doctors
in consultation over his own case. The
priest bad gashed his lip, and came slow
iy to his senses, but the stimulus had
such an effect on Gallagher that he is
likely 10 recover.

How Mr. BROWN OUTwIrrED THE CAN
1BALs.-One of the wealthiest settlers in
New Caledonia is gentleman from Au
strslia-we will call him MI. Brown
who weat there some ten or twelve years
ago with bat small capital, and has be-
come enormously rich by raising cattle
for the markets OF Noumes. Mr.. Brown
was on his way through the bush from
one of his outlying cattle stations TO an-
other, when he lost his way entirely {;
wandered about till near nightfall, and
then came upon q large native village.
Here he was Hospitality entertained, well
fed and most deierentially treated by the
great chiet whose village it wss-tbe
chiet Atai, think, whom some persons
regard rs the chief mover and leader OF
this year revolt. Ak ainst the French Atai
was all courtesy to his white guest, and
when night had fully come. conducted
him himself in state to the hut set apart
for his nights repose.
Fortunately, Mr., Brown was scquaint-
ed with the customs of tho country. and,
among them, knew the common method
OF putting an end TO travellers, preparaso-
ry to feasling upon them. 1t is as fol-
lows The traveller is kindly received {;
nothing occurs to shake his confidence In
his host; he is allotted a cabin to himself
to sleep in. The native huts have usually
but one opening. which serves as door
and window both. When the traveller Is
supposed to be well settled in his cabin
this one entrance is set on fire. Being
thatched and made altogether OF light
wood it burns very readily, and the nav-
eler is cooked as we'll as killed. Then the
feast begins. Being acquainted with
these details OF New Caledonisn life. Mr..
Brown knew that the cabin in which the
venerable Atai so courteousiy led him
might probably become for him both a
tomb and a cooking stove unless his wits
could save him. He entered the cabin OF
the chief, meeting courtesy with courtesy,
till they were both tairly within. Then,
Brown being in the prime OF life and
athletic, aud Atai old and inhrm. the
Epelishman knew no was more than q
match for the savage. He closed the
door within the hut. planted bis back
firmly against it, and sitting thus, with
bis hand on his revolver and his other
weapons ostentatiously displayed ,con'in
ued his conversation with the chief. The
situation remained unchanged throughout
the night. A terrible night it was. no
doubt, for the Englishman, and almost as
bad for the old chief, who again and
again requested permission to withdraw.
Mr.. Brown as frequently declaring he
could not part with him-he should not
feel safe except in his company. When
daylight was fully come, Mr.. Brown felt
assured that Atai would not venture TO
allow his people openly TO attack an in.
diyidual 30 we'll known in the settlements
as himself, and both issuing forth tcgeth-
er from the hut. he gladly accepted the
escort of native guide, and was safely
conducted to the French settlements,
where his adventure was the theme of
considerable interest.
