LIPPINCOTT'S.-B the usual va
riety of light and entertaining reading,
Lippincott's Magazine for May has some
articles full of information on subjects
of general interest. Thus. in paper on

known magazinist, w. H. Rideing, de-
scribes the general appearance and ar
rangements, the forms Of procedure, and
other details that require to be under
stood before we can have a vivid notion
of the great debates and characteristic
scenes of that ancient assembly. In an
article on "Oyster-Culture," w. +. G.
Shanks, who has made thorough study
of the subject, shows the necessity for
the speedy adoption in America of
methods for preserving or renewing the
oyster-beds along our coast. "The Truth
About Florida" by Louise Seymour
HoughtOn, holds the balance between
opposite views in regard to the climate
and advantages of that State, both as a
health resort and field for agricultural
enterprise and investments. DIR. Os-
wald continues his account of "Zoologi-
cal Curiosities;" and "Granada and the
Alhambra" forms the subject of we'll
written article, historical and descrip-
tive, by S. T. Scott. with many striking
| illustrations. "The lndiscretiOns of
Madame Jaubert" skins the cream of a
newly published French book containing

Earning . Penny Roll.

The poverty of Scotch lads is one OF
their best school-masters. It compela
them to be on the lookout to make an
honest penny and to use it judiciously
when earned. Two lessons are thereby
learned, thrift and enterprise. The re-
suit is that Scotchmen, all the world
over. rank among the successful men.
An illustration of the stimulating effect
of poverty may be seen in the case of an
eminent Scotchman, who united in him.
self the double work of editing and pub
fishing Chambers Journal: >.
When William Chambers was an ap-
prentice to a bookseller, he worked from
early morning to late at night for FIVE
shillings week. One of his duties was
the oversight of the board carriers, who
bore through the streets show-boards on
which young Chambers employer adver.
tised lottery of which he was agent.
One of these, broken-down baker,
whose love of whiskey had forced him to
become an advertising perambulator,
helped his youthful overseer to earn dai-
ly, during several years, penny roll for
his breakfast.
The mans old employer had passion
for reading, but without leisure for its
qualification. He sent through the
board-carrier proposition to Chambers
that if he would read to him, early in
tae morning, while he was preparing the
batch of bread, he would reward him
with a penny roll hot from the oven.
The proposition was accepted. Every
morning he rose before five o'clock.
Walking a mile to the bake-shop, he de-
scended into the cellar, and sat on fold
ed sack, with penny candle stuck in a
bottle in one hand and q book in the
other. There and thus he read two
hours and half to the baker and his two
sons, and then went to his apprentice
ships work of opening the store and
cleaning lamps.
The baker stipulated for something
droll, and the young reader led hin
through "Roderick Random" and other
works of Smollet, the novels of Fielding,
and "Gil Bias"
An American boy would have
thought himself badly used if compelled
to work from five to half-past seven ev.
cry morning for hot penny roll. But
young Chambers, looking upon it as SO
much earned in addition to his weekly
wages, thought himself fortunate boy.
Early in life he was thus taught that
he who would thrive must be both enter.
prising to earn and thrifty to save.
