You have heard, perhaps, of the clerk
who had faithfully served Stephen Girard
from boyhood to manhood. On the twenty
first anniversary of his birthday, he went
to his master and told him his time was
up, and he certainly expected important
promotion in the merchants service. But
Stephen Girard said to him.
every well. Now go and learn trade. %
"What trade, sir ?"
"Good barrels and butts must be in de-
mand while you live. Go and learn the
coopers trade; and when you have made a
perfect barrel, bring it to me.''
+ The young man went away and learned
the trade, and In time brought to his old
master splendid barrel of his own make.
Girard examined it, and gave the maker
two thousand dollars for it, and then said
to him.

TRADES OF THE PAST.

Half a century ago bellows-making was
thriving trade. Every house had its pair
Of bellows, and in every wen-furnished
mansion there was pair hung by the side
of every fireplace.
But as stoves and CRATES took the place
of open freplaces, and as coal was substi-
tuted for wood, the demand for bellows di-
minished, and the business, as separate
trade, died out.
The same is true of fiint-cutting. Flints
were once necessary, not only for finder
boxes-and tinder-box was as necessary
for every house as gridiron or skillet.
Every one who looks back to a childhood of
forty odd years ago must remember the
cold Winter mornings when the persistent
crack of the flint against the steel sent up
from the kitchen an odor of igniting finder
and sulphur which pervaded the house.
We have no more idea what became of the
fint-producers than of the old man of sor-
rowful memories, who, three or four times
3iWe6k CdlleQ GC our store Win Dr1mStOne
matches, for sale at penny the half-dozen
punches. Both have completely vanished
from the country.
Then, again, are gone the pin-makers,
who, though they have been in their graves
this quarter of a century, still figure in
lectures and essays to illustrate the advan-
tages Of division Of labor. Instead of pin
taking dozen men or more to cut, grind,
point, head, polish, and what not, as it used
to do, pins are now made by neat little ma
chimes at the rate of three hundred min
ute, of which machines single child tends
to half dozen.
Matchmaking at the forge is another lost
industry. Time was, and that in this
nineteenth century, when every nail was
made on the anvil. Now, from one hun
dred to one thousand nails per minute are
made by machines. The mailer who works
at the forge has buta bad chance Of COM
peting with such antagonists, and he would
have no chance at all were it not that
his nails are tenfold tougher than the
former.

The New Cave Of the Winds.

We have heretofore referred, says the
Niagara Falls Gazette of the I'd inst, to
explorations that have been made behind
the American Fall, entering from below
Prospect Park. All descriptions represent
the trip behind the great fall to be unrivaled
for wierdness of scene and novelty of exper-5
fence. Fascinating as is the cave under the
Luna Island Fall, the UNEMPLOYED mysteries
Of the wild and tumultuous recesses behind
the American Fall shadow the former In
terest in the wonders of the old cave.
Since the organization of the Prospect Park
Company it has been contemplated fitting
up approaches to this new cave, and build
ing such mechanical helps as may be found
practical to facilitate pleasure trips behind
the sheet. Last season Conroy and Num-
ford made thorough examination of the
entrance, extending their trip around the
first bend in the precipice. The floor was
found perfectly smooth, witha sheet of COM
paratively still water some three feet deep
OVERLAPPING it. Since this trip last season,
the cave has not been entered until recently
when Conroy and Mumford volunteered
to guide a stranger through the explored
portions of the place. The stranger, Mr..
George B. johnson, of New Orleans, thus
has won the distinction of being the first
visitor to Niagara who has ever been behind
the American Fall. The party pressed their
investigation over two hundred feet behind
the sheet. Conroy expresses his conviction
that age-wayiextends through to Goat
Island-a path which can be treaded with
safety, and which he intends at some future
day to explore. Mr.. johnson was lavish in
his expressions of delight with the trip,
which he pronounced unequal for strange
ness on the face of the earth. He then left
to join friends in the East, and contemplates
returning in a few days with party, when
he will make another trip in company with
his friends.''

Observation-Disclosures.

A great deal of discomfort arises from
over-sensitiveness about what people NAV
say of you or your actions. This requires
to be blunted. Consider whether anything
you can do will have much connection with
what they viii say. And, besides, it may
be doubted whether they will say anything
at all about you. Many unhappy persons
seem to imagine that they are always In an
ampitheatre, with the assembled world as
spectators; whereas all the while they are
playing to empty benches. They fancy
too, they form the particular theme of ev-
cry passer-by. If, however, they must lis
ten to imaginary conversations about them
selves, they might, at any rate, defy the
proverb, and insist on hearing themselves
well spoken of.

A Valuable Recipe.

The journal of Chemistry" publishes a
recipe for the destruction of insects which,
if it be one-half as eficacious as it is claimed
to be, will prove invaluable =
"Hot alum water is recent suggestion
as an insecticide. It will destroy red and
black ants, cockroaches, spiders, chintz
bugs, and all the crawling pests which infest
our houses. Take two pounds of alum and
dissolve it in three or four quarts of boiling
water; let it stand on the fire till the alum
disappears; then apply it with brush,
while nearly boiling hot, to every joint and
crevice in your closets, bedsteads, pantry
shelves and the like. Brush the crevices in
the floor of the skirting or mop-boards, if
you suspect that they harbor vermin. If, in
whitewashing a ceiling, plenty of alumni;
added to the lime, it will also serve to keep
insects at distance. Cockroaches will fec
the paint which has been washed in cool
alum water. Sugar barrels and boxes can
be freed from ants by drawing chalk mark
just around the edge of the top of them.
The mark must be unbroken, or they will
creep over it; but continuous chalk mark,
half an inch in width, will set their depre-
dations at naught. Powdered alum or
borax will keep the chintz bugs at respect
able distance, and travellers should always
carry package in their handbags to scatter
over and under their pillows, in places
where they have reason to suspect the
presence of such bed-fellows."

CHINESE NEWSPAPERS.

The King PaO, or news of the capital,
which is the official gazette of the empire,
dates back certainly as far as the Tang dy-
nasty, which reigned from the seventh to
the tenth centuries of era. This journal or
rather gazette, for it is hardly more than
record of official acts, is bound up in PAM
phlet form, and is about six inches in length
by some three inches broad and has in each
number twelve sheets, protected by a
covering of yellow paper. Besides this gov
eminent publication, there are two other
somewhat similar periodicals, the SIGH Pen,
in manuscript, and the 7csamS Pea, and
quarterly called the Fla Using KtU Shin, or
annual of the Empire. These, however, are
all gazettes rather than newspapers, and the
institution of anything more nearly re-
sembling the latter form of publication is
due to the English editors of the Daily
Press at Hong Kong and the North China
Herald at Shanghai, which some consider
able time back sent out from their Offices
some veritable newspaper printedin Chinese
characters.
The Sham Pdo, which was long the most
successful of the Chinese journals, was also
the work of an Englishman; and the first
Chinese papers, properly so-caIled, were the
We Pao and the [ P0o, having similar
shape and form to the Sham Po0, and thus
resembling an English paper, but advo-
eating In their columns, instead of progress
and iberality toward strangers, a very op-
positc policy. They were both outdone In
their hostility to foreigners by the Sin Poo,
daily paper, which was called the organ of
the native functionaries, and which, by its
successful rivalry, soon put an end to their
existence. They had, however, previously
shown their loyalty to the court by the de-
vices they adopted at lifetime of the change
of emperors In 1875. Upon the death of
Toung-chi in that year the Sham Pdo, as a
sign of mourning, printed the whole NUM-
Der in blue ink, and on the accession of
Konang-sou the same journal was entirely
printed In black ink on scarlet paper, while
the VIE PaO contented itself with using
bright red ink ON the usual white ground.

Our FAIRY.

\ winsOme elf, with starry eyes,
Who smiles in wonder and surprise
That we should call her fair;
Her dancing feet from day TO day,
Make echoes sweet along our way,
And drown the voice of care.
Her fairy fingers wipe the tears
That sometimes fall, when down the years,
Come visions from afar;
And on our heart her tender smile,
So radiant and so free from guile,
CLOVIS like some peaceful star.
She llings rare blossoms at our feet,
And soft we say, "TReres none 50 sweet,
In all the world as ours !"
She hraids gay wresths across her brow,
And fond love lightly whispers, "Now,
Sweet Beauty chains the hours"
We could not feel that life was sweet
Unless her dainty, fairy feet
Tripped ever az our side;
No flower that yields its fragrant breath
Could charm our heart, II envious death
Should claim her as his bride!

Turn your speech seven ways, and there viii

INSANE FROM SCANDAL,

In St. Paul they tell the story eff Maggie
Flynn. She loved and was loved by q
worthy young man, who hoped soon to
make her his bride, but SANDERS enveno-
med tongue poisoned her reputation, and
caused her lover to cancel their engage
ment. She, suffering unjustly from the
cruel blow, lost her reason, and would have
been carried an incurable patient to the
insane asylum had not the employers of
her quondam lover investigated the stories
affecting her character, and ascertained
their utter groundlessness. He was travel
ling, but they ordered him home, told him
the good news, and sent him to claim Mag
gle before she could be carried to the mad
house. She was with the sheriff, who was
about to convey her to her destination,
when theyoung man came into presence.
At sight of him, the clouds that lowered on
her intellect broke away, and-bridal wells,
not straight-jackets, were in order.
GAMBLING was invented by Lydians,
when under the pressure Of a great famine.
To divert themselves from dwelling on
their suferings, they invented dice, balls,
tables, etc. 1t is added that, to bear their
calamity the better, they used to play a
whole day without intermission, that they
might not feel the effects of the want of
food. The invention intended as remedy
for hunger, is now very common cause
for that evil.
