Years ago, into q wholesale grocery
store in Boston, walked a tall, muscu-
lar looking man, evidently fresh
conner from somg backwoods town in
Maineor New Hampshire. Accosting
the first person he met, who happened
to be the merchant himself, he asked ;
You don't want to hire man in
your store, DO you?"
rWell," said the merchant, "I do
mot know; what can you do?"
"Do?" said the man. "I rather
guess 1 can turn my hand to almost
anything. What do you want done?''
Well, if was to hire a man, ii
would be one that could lift well; a
strong, wiry fellow one, for instance,
that could shoulder sack of coffee
like that yonder, and carry it across
the floor and never lay it down."
"There now, Cap'n," said the coun.
tryman, that's just me. I can lift
anything I hitch to; you can't suit me
better. What will you give a man
that will suit you?'
I'll tell you," said the merchant
"if you will shoulder that sack ol
coffee and carry il across the store
twice and never lay it down, will
hire you a year at 500 per MONTH"
Done," said the stranger; and by
this time every clerk in the store had
gathered around and waiting to join in
the laugh against the man, who. walk
ing up to the sack, threw it across his
shoulder with perfect ease, although
extremely heavy, and, walking with
it twice across the store, went quietly
to large hook which was fastened to
to the wall, and, hanging it up, turned
to the merchant and said:
"There, now, it may hang there till
doomsday; I shall never lay it down.
What shall go about, mister? Just
give me plenty to do and 500 pei
month, and it's all right"
The clerks broke into laugh, and
the merchant, discounted, yet salts.
fled, kept his agreement, and to-day
the green countryman is the senior
partner in the firm, and is worth q
million dollars.

..oA..AG.sc,, From a euAkEr

A friend says, II remember an
amusing story my father used to tell y
He was cutting some thirty or forty
years ago in Philadelphia. One day
during the dull season an elderly Qua.
ker came into the store with some cloth
which he wished to have cut into q
coat.
My father told him he would cut it
for a dollar.
Well" said the Quaker, "thee
may cut it; but as the tailors sometimes
cabbage cloth, as thee calls it, shall
stay and watch thee while thee cuts
it."
All right" said my father; "but
really, friend, your watching wouldn't
keep me from cabbaging, if chose to
do so."
"Thee is welcome to all thee can
steal without my catching thee" said
the Quaker, confident in his own
shrewdness.
The cutting-board was close against
a window, between which and the
board were some eight inches of space.
My father, in laying off the coat,
left good vest pattern, which he
chalked in various shapes, and after he
had cut all the pieces, he called the
Quaker's attention to something in
the room, and with his shears pushed
the " cabbage" from the board between
it and the window, when it dropped
quietly to the floor. He rolled up the
job, putting in all >the scraps, and
handed it TO the Quaker.
suppose you're satisfied that you
have all your cloth ?" asked my father.
Yes, I'm satisfied. Thee's welcome
to all thee's stolen"
When the Quaker had gone, father
took the cabbage" from under the
table, and cut vest from it for himself.
Not long after he was standing in
the door, with the vest on, when he
saw the Quaker on the other side of
the street. He called to him and in
vited him into the store.
How did your coat fit ?" asked my
father.
"Very well the e is a good cutter"
Thank you. How do you like my
vest ?" asked my father, throwing open
coat and showing the "cabbaged !"
garment.
"It's q nice vest. Where did thee
get the cloth? It's like mine."
1t was yours you gave it to me.
you remember"
mo, I don't remember"
You said was welcome to all I
had cabbaged.'
"Yes.n
"Well, I cabbaged this"
"Thee did?
"I certainly did"
The Quaker scratched his head q
moment, and then reached out his
hand, which my father took.
"Thee is good CUTTER" he said,
and he added as he turned to go, "and
thee is too smart for me, but thee is
welcome to the vest"

EDIsON,S LONG DELAY.

Robert Fnlton was ridiculed when
he proposed to send boat to Albany
by steam. His experiments excited
derision. When the boat left the
wharf and was stopped by defect in
the machinery, the shore rang with
laughter. But the boat went to AL
bany and returned.
Thomas A. Edison says that he can
subdivide the electric light. He as
sures the world that he will give it a
light that will take the place of gas,
and be much cheaper. He claims that
the problem is solved. Nothing is
lacking but a few minor details. His
horsepower, generator, insulator, me-
ter, and dynamometer are perfected,
but he is still experimen ting on q
lamp. He says he has reached seven
gas jets per horse power, and thinks
that he can increase them to ten. AS
long as he can increase the number of
lights per horsepower, just SO long

Meantime the public has become
impatient. Some newspapers carp at
the inventor and deride him. 1t will
do to wait. The man certainly has
confidence in his own powers, and his
record as an inventor is untaint ed.
His is not the interest at stake. He
must also consider the interests of
those who have pinned their faith to
him by their Investments.

not afterward. 1t would cost q for

On the whole, in the absence of any
other Edison, we do not see that peo-
pie impatient for electric illuminat ton
can do much better than to wait till
this Mr.. Edison gets ready.
