From Small Beginnings.

u is not necessary that a boy who
learns a trade should work at it all
his life. Coy. Palmer, of Illinois.
was a country blacksmith once.
Thomas IIaynie, 4 rich and eminent
lawyer, also of Illinois, was once Il
bookbinder. Erastus Corning, OF
New York, too lame to do hard work
commenced as a shop boy in Alba
ny. When he applied for employ
ment he was asked: "Why my little
boy, what can you .do:' Can dc
what I nm bid" was the answer
which secured him the place. Sen
ator Wilson, of Massachusetts, was
Il shoemaker. ThurloW Weed was {
canal boat driver. Ex-Governor
Stone, Of Iowa, was a cabinetmaker
which trade Stephen A. Douglas
also worked at it in his youth
Large numbers of men of prOmi-
nence now living have risen from
humble life, by dint of industry.
without which talent is as gold coin
on Il barren island. Work alone
makes men bright, and it does not
alone depend upon the kind Of work
You have to do, whether you rise or
not; it depends upon how you do it.

A Plug of Tobacco.

One day last month when trade was
dull a grocery clerk procured a pieca
OF sole leather from a shoe maker, palns
ted it black. and laid it aside for use
Within a few DAYS an old chap from
back IN the country came in and inquir-
ed for a plug of chewing tobacco. The
piece of sole leather was tied up, paid
for and the purchaser started for home
AT the end of the sixth day he return
ed, looking downcast and detected, and
walking into the. store he inquired for
the clerk.
"'Member that terhacker 1 got here
the other day?"
Eyes, SIR"

Eyes"
Irregular plug terbacker, was it?"
"Yes."
"Well then it's me. It's right here
in my jaws" sadly replied the old man.
II knowed I was getten purity old, but
| was allus handy on bittin a plug. ]
never seed a plug afore this one that !
couldn't tear to pieces at a chaw. !
sot my teeth on this on and bit, and
pulled, and twisted like q hog a. a root,
and I've kept biting and pnlllng for
six days, and thar she am nov the same
as when You sold her to me-"
"seems to be a good ping" said the
clerk as he smelt the counterfeit.
..She's all right: Its me that's failln,"
exclaimed the old man. "Pas me out
6ne cut and III go home an deed the
farm to the boys and get ready for the

A Hint for Preachers

An old preacher says that mo
man is fit to preach who does not
covet a pulpit more than a throne
and who does not sit down to a ser
mon with more enjoyment than a
hungry man sits down to his dinner.
When YOU loose your interest In
Your work, your people will very
soon loose their interest in You. II
the ministry is not the highest OF
eniovments, it will soon become the
drearicst of drudgcrics. Doth moi
the Master love those who love His
service? The most valuable hint !

He Was On Hand.

1t was dark in the depot one day last
week when the evening train came in.
An elderly farmer was backed W
against the PARTITION, watching in opens
mouthed wonder the big putting engine
and the yellow covered cars as they
discharged their passengers, when a
handsome yuGng girl i'll a sealskIG
cloak dashed forward, ard throwing
herself upon the honest grangel's man
ly breast, imprinted a kiss upou his
sunburned cheek, aud exclaimed:
''You dear old pa; | knew You would
be waiting for me! And how's mother.
and bows Jennie, and hOw's John
and OH I'm so glad to get back-and
where's my trunk-and oh! pa, you
take the check aud let's hurry
The granger was old and kind of
dried up, and he had never known what
it was to have Il wife. much less a
daughter.
He mistrusted the young lady IN the
sealskin sacquc had made a mistake.
but instead of stammering and hem
ming and having, he came CALAMITY up
to the scratch and throwing both arms
ufOlilU Tue laiF creature, ne mHue up
his mind to be a father to her or die il
the attempt. Imprinting a kiss like
the report of a pistol on her cheek, he
enthusiastically calculated:
"Oh, yer mothers well, an John an

dy an Calvin [smack an Joshua an
Tsmack. smack oh they're all

BY the time the young Iady's friends
could get to her she had slid into a
stony faint, and they had to lug her
home in a hack, while the aged grams
ger. as he finished the third round
with her outraged young man, and
sauntered out of the depot, leaving
him with a bad eve and q ruptured coat
chuckled to himself:

A CURIOUS contest as to the legal
status of Roman Catholic archbish.
ops in this country is likely to grow
out of the case of Archbishop Pur-
cell of Cincinnati. He holds that
the churches, seminaries, and chart.
tv edllices in his diocese, the titles
of which were in his name, were, il
a legal sense, his private property
to do with us he thought best. Act
ing upon this theory, he has trans
ferred a large share of the property
to a trustee for the benefit of his
creditors. This action is opposed
by the pastors and other officers OF
the churches, who assert that the
archbishop has no right to dispos-
sess them-that he simply holds
the property in trust. They do not
accuse him Of prefting personally
in the matter. -

Preserve against Encouragement.

Preserve against Encouragement,
Keep your temper. Employ leisure
in study, and always have some
work on hand. Be punctual and
methodical in business, and never
procrastinate. Never be in a hurry.
Preserve self-possession, and do not
be talked out of conviction. Rise
early, and be an economist of time,
Maintain dignity without the APP
pearance of pride; manner is some
thing with everybody, and every
thing with some. Be guarded in
discourse, attentive and slow to
speak. Never acquiesce in immor-
tai or pernicious opinions. Be not
forward to assign reasons to those
who have no right to ask. Think
nothing in conduct unimportant or
Indifferent. Practice strict temper
ance, and in your transactions re-
member the final account.
