Many persons are puzzled to under
stand what the terms ''fourpenny." six
penny" and "tenpenny" means, as ap-
piled to nails. "Fourpenny" means 4 lbs.
to the thousand nails, or "sixpenny" 6
lbs. to thousand, and so on. "Tenpenny"
meant at first "ten-pound" nails (the
thousand being IN. ierstoodl, but the old
English clipped it to "ten-pun," and
from that it degenerated until "penny"
was substituted for pounds" When
thousand nails weigh less than h. they
are called tacks, brads, etc, and are
reckoned by ounces.

Truth FOR YOUNG MEN.-The one great
practical truth that ought to be driven
over and over again into his own mind
by every young man is, that he should
not care button for his likes and
dislikes; but should do what ought to
be done, in spite of any disagreeable-
ness. The lesson of self-denial Is far
beyond any other in importance. 1t
must be repeated a thousand times over
before it is really learnt by heart, but
oh. how worthy the painsl Happy is
he who has learned not to seek for what
is pleasant, not to shrink from what is
painful, but to 90 on doing everything
that he knows to be good, and kind, and
right, in utter disregard of self. How
man might ennOble and invigorate his
life if he would work this principle into
the very grain of his mind, and strenu-
ously act upon it, invariably striving not
after what would be pleasantest but
what would be best. In fact, 1t IS the
very. essence of all that IS good ana
great in human life; and nos only so,
but is the true rcad to happiness.

THE Wild HOSES OF ANERICA. At the
time of the discovery of America there
were no horses in any part Of the cOnti-
nent, though the boundless prairies were
admirably fitted for the support of count
less herds. Soon, however, those inn
ported by the settlers stTayed away, and
as a consequence are to be met with
in enormous numbers, in some cases
amounting, it is said, to ten Thousand in
one troop. They appear to be under
the command of a leader, the strongest
and boldest Of the herd, whom they I'M
plicitly obey. When threatened win
danger, at some signal, understooI oy
them all. they either close into dense
mass and trainple their enemy to death,
or nlacin0 the mares and fOalS IN the
centre. thev form a circle and welcome
him with their heels. The leader hrst
f,ces the danger, and when prudeneere-
T,;res n retreat all follow his rapid flight.
I'm the thinly inhabited parts of South
America. According to Nouatt, it is dam
cerous to fall in with any Of these troops.
The wild horses approach as near as
they dare they cali to the loaded horse
with the greatest eagerness, and If the
rider is not on the alert, and has not cOn-
siderable strength Of arm and sharpness
ofspur, his animal viii divest himselfof
his burden, take to his heels aud be

David Davis is denounced by re-

A BRIGHT BOYS HAPPY THoUGHT.-The
Hartford correspondent of the Springfield
Republican says: "There was a pretty
bright thought of one of the Battersons,
who, when employed some years since as
a lad in an Office in New York, was sent
to present bill to a shaky concern, with
orders to collect it at all hazards. After
much urging, the head of the debtor
house gave him a check for 500, the
amount of the bill. Hurrying to the
bank at which it was payable, the lad
presented the check only to be told, Not
enough funds to meet it. How much is
the account short?' was the boys quick
;retort. Seven dollars, said the teller. 1t
lacked but a minute or two of three
O'Clock, and the teller was about to close
the door on the boy when the latter sud-
denly pulled out seven dollars from his
own pocket, an pushing it over with a
deposit check said: Put that to the
credit of - & Co., the parties who had
given the check. The teller did SO, when
the lad at once presented the check for
$10O, and drawing the full amount thereof
went back to his employers in triumph.
But, as he puts it, '-& Co., who failed
the very next day, were hopping mad
when they found that they had no funds
in the bank"
