Quick Wit Wins.

Years ago, in wholesale grocery store
in Boston walked tall, muscular look
ing man, evidently fresh conner from
some backwOOds town in Maine or New
Hampshire. AccOsting the first person
he met. who happened to be the merchant
himself, he said:
''YOu don't want to hire man in your
store, do your"
"Well," said the merchant, 81 don't
know; what can you dO?"
''DO? said the man; rather guess l
can turn my hand to almost ANYTHING
what do you want dOne?"
"Well, if | was to hire man it would
be one that could lift well, a strong, wiry
fellow, one, for instance, that could
shoulder sack Of coffee like that yOn-
der, and carry it across the floor and
never lay it down..
There, now, Capting," said the c0un-
tryman, that's just me. lean lift any
thing [ hitch to; you can't suit me bet
ter. What will you give man that will
suit your"
"Pll tell you" said the merchant; eff
you will shoulder that sack of coffee and
carry it across the store twice and neuer
lay 1T do,vn, | will hire you year at 500
per month";
"Done," said the stranger, and by this
time every clerk in the store had gather
ed around and were waiting to join in
the laugh against the man, who, walking
up to the sack, threw it across his shout
der with perfect ease, although extreme
ly heavy, and, walking with it twice
acrOs the store, went quietly to large
hook which was fastened to the wall, and,
hanging it up, turned to the merchant
and said:
There, now, it may hang there till
dO0msday; | shall neuer lay 1T d0,cn. What
shall go about mister? Just give me a
plenty to do and 500 month and it's
all right"
The clerks broke into laugh, and the
merchant, discounted, yet satisfied, kept
his agreement, and to-day the green cOun-
tryman is the senior partner in the firm,
and is worth a million of dollars.

From Efcue.

The other day two emigrant girls from
the green isle arrived at Rochester. Two
brothers awaited them. They had been
separated 10 years. Both sides were
wary OF too sudden recognition. The
brothers asked question after question
OF scenes and persons at home. and for
an hour the girls answered their inter-
rOgatiOns, until the catechism seemed
satisfactory to all, and then ensued such
scene OF caressing as would put to
shame for enthusiasm a young man had
all the inmates of boarding school for
sisters and was to depart for the Indie.
Afterward the two sisters took the arms
OF their brothers and started to go out,
the questions in the meantime flying
around thick and fast to meet as many
prompt answers. At every few steps the
four would stop and tears would flow in
memory of some sad recital from the
strangers; again, they would all laugh
to the echo when some amusing scene
was related. Not one of the four will
ever again probably enjoy so much hap

OVER s12OOo,oCo STILL ON DEPosIT BY NATIONAL
BANKS AS SECURITY FOR CIRCULATION.
On Monday next the interest ceases on the
last and final call Of ten forty United States
bonds, and the refunding operations of the
Treasury are at an end until 1881, when the
Few f1ves fall due as well as the skies of 81.
Notwithstanding this fact the national banks
which have this class OF bonds, deposited with
the L. S. Treasurer to secure their b ank note
circulation, come forward very slowly to take
out the ten-forty bonds and replace them with
the four Ter cents. The reason of it is this:
The powerful sydlcate which controls the four
per cent. bonds, anticipating that the ba 1ks
would exchange the ten-fOrties for TO lr per
cents, WREN the interest on the former securi-
es ceased, have run up the four PER cent.
EOnd to premium OF two per cent. The
national bank view Of the case evidently
the ten-forty bonds, even though they re-
main idle In the Treasury non Interest,
bearing security, that the price OF the fours
will fall anyway to par, and that by gradually
lifting the ten fOrties they Will be en- lbled to
effect the exchange OF their securities without
paying the exacted premium. Again, most of
the Western National banks can make more
money out OF their circulation, than they can
out OF the interest on bondS and hence premise
that so long as they can they will let their ten
forties remain where they are, for the reason
that while they can get no interest on the
bonds in direct way, that they can make a
good interest out OF their circulating notes, and
for which the bonds stand as security For
this reason over S12 900 900 remain in the Treas
ury, in the shape OF bonds, representing SO per
cent. OF that amount In bank note circulation,
and will probably remain so long as 1t is more
profitable to the banks to let them remain,
rather than exchange them.
