Gone TO Grass.

Peter Harrison left his home at Erie,
Pa, to become bank cashier in Detroit.
Some one in Erie told him that thirteen
cashiers were wanted here at once, and
he came on as fast as conductors on
freight trains would permit him. Dis
appointment is the lot of man, or of lots
of men, and Peter reached Detroit to find
all the best positions taken. One bank
offered to permit him to cashier in ten
bushels of coke, but Mr.. Harrison didn't
come to this town to drudge. He was
trying to obtain few hours sleep on
the grass in the public park previous to
when an officer suggested the propriety
of a walk to the station.
You see," began Peter, when walked
before the court, Z" / struck this town
with nothing but an empty tobacco box
in my pocket, but / am determined to
work up. JohnJ acob Astor worked UP,
Horace Greeley worked up, and all |
want is little time. You see, haven't
had anything to eat except grass since /
crossed Detroit river, and you can't ex-
pect me to whoop up riches in two days. e"
Yes, | think you will work up"
quietly observed his honor, as he looked
down on the prisoner. Il think you
will work up to the House Of Correction
in about half an hour"
THAT'S mean, judge. What would
George Washington have amounted to if
he had been sent up just as he was trying
to get a start in lifeP"
"This court has nothing to do with
George Washington, sir. If he had been
brought before this bar with his shirt
band torn off, his nose the color of car
mine and his breath smelling of whisky,
he would have been sent up for sixty
days in the very best style. Don't you
let his case bother you any"
"Well, I'll go up rather than have any
fuss over it; but | shall stick to it that
it is not fair deal. If am ever made
judge I'll give the boys a chance, and
don't you forget it. %
His honor put thirty days extra on the
prisoners sentence in order that neither
should forget it. and then Peter went into
the corridor and sat down on the handle
of the coal-scuttle.
Men may come and men may go,
The winds may sigh and the winds may blow,
but Peter will put in his time in the chair

Words Of Wisdom.

If fun is good, truth is better, and love
is best of all.
He shall be immortal who liveth till
he be stoned by one without fault.
No man ever regretted that he was
virtuous and honest in his youth, and
kept aloof from idle companions.
Stick to one thing until it is done, and
done well. The man who chases two
hares not only loses one of them, but is
pretty.sur to lose the other also.
You ought not to ask odds of any one.
Like a blooded horse, all you have q
right to demand is to be put even on the
whifiletrees. After that show your
mettle.
The fortunate man is he who, born
poor or nobody, works gradually up to
wealth and consideration, and having
got them, dies before he finds they We're
not worth so much trouble.
The damps of autumn sink into the
leaves and prepare them for the necessity
of their fall; and thus insensibly are we,
as years close round us, detached from
our tenacity of life by the gentle pres
sure of recorded sorrow.
No man possesses real strength of
mind if he cannot, after having heard all
that others have to say, resolve, and
firmly resolve what to do, and carry his
resolution into effect. Take counsel of
others; profit by their experience and
wisdom but above all take counsel with
yourself; make up your mind what to
do in the world, and-dO it.
A habit of scolding indicates a want OF
self discipline. The machinery has got
from under our own hands, and has
fallen to grating and destroying itseli
under the. friction and perpleXities OF
portant rule than "Know thyself.
Without this primary virtue, we are not
in a condition to receive much good
ourselves or TO afford aid to others.

A Curious COnceIt.

BIr. Jonathan Rees, of Phenixville,
Pa, has evolved plan by which nature
is to be made subservient to want
which has hitherto been supplied by
door plate. He proposes literally to find
" tongues in trees and not merely make
them tell tale that might please the
fancy, but to stand upright before the
cottage or mansion and inform the tramp
and the traveller the name of the man
who lives within. "The Talking Oak"
of the poet is to become a reality. Mr..
Rees has discovered that the initial letter
of our most valuable trees comprise
nearly all the letters of the alphabet,
and can placed so as to be read as easily
as the alphabet by those who make
themselves acquainted with the letters
the trees are intended to represent.
Farmers could have their names planted
in groves along the roads bordering on
their property, with the date of planting;
and it would be both interesting and in
structive to be able to tell by these who
occupies the premises by reading the
planters name in his trees,
Mr. Rees makes up the list of usetnl
and ornamental trees as follows:

Yet she persisted far, far away;

She suffered and died-we know no more

She was my friend in the days gone by,
And she is my enemy now.

And perchance he remembers to-day
