Judge Ma well known jurist living
near Cincinnati, was fond OF relating this
anecdote; he once had occasion TO send to
the village fora carpenter, and = sturdy
young fellow appeared with his tools.
II want this fence mcudel to keep out
the cattle. There are some unplaned
boards use them. II is out Of sight Of
the house. 80 you need not take time to
make it neat job ! win only pay you
81 so"
The Judge went TO dinner, and coming
out, found the man planning each board.
Supposing he was trying TO make costly
job Of it, he ordered him to nail the boards
on at once, just rs they were, and continu
his work. When he returned, the boards
were planned aud ready for mailing

how it looks.

all that time on a job, IL not for money"
"For tho job"
Nobody would have seen the poor

"But / should have known il was there.
No. Ill take only sl.50" And he took il
and went away.

Rsoolisotions Of Yankes Boy by Carl
SchurE.

When was little fellow in Stuttgart
with yellow hair and wooden Shoes, says
Carl Schurz in his "Pitfalls OF Youth,
there came one day to the school which
attended an American boy by the name ol
Jim Saunders, whose father was New
York broker He was quiet, simple-look
ing child, with great soulful brown eyes,
aud IN innocent look In his face that made
ms all think he couldn't know much. We
nsed 10 make fun OF his peaked face and
thin legs, because in Germany, You know,
the children are all round d-faced and fat.
Little Jimmy never seemed to notice that
we were enjoying ourselves at his expense.
and this made us think he was too simple
for any use. But after he had been 10 the
school about siI months. he could speak
German pretty well, Q circus came TO
town, and OF course was the sole topic oi
conversation among the boys One day
we we're discussing the matter when Saua.
ders. who had been sitting quietly in cor.
ner Of the room, said he should think a
little boy might creep in under the circus
tent and see the showIin that way We
all laughed heartily at this exhibition OF
ignorance, because We knew how closely
the ten. was watched, iAnd more than one
OF us had been made temporarily delirious
by having the boss canvAsman'u boot lean
suddenly against the seat Of oar pants. So
when little Jimmy said this we all laughed
heartily and Jscob Laudenheimer. who

but Yankee would talk No foolishly. But
Jimmy seemed 10 think he was right. aud

The Successful Man.

When our. successful man was boy
and lived in a manufacturing village o.
New Hampshire, a widows son, the great
est luxury he knew was to eat apples: SC
he told us the other day, when we fell into
conversation about old times.
Yes. said he, II used TO think that il
every one was jrich enough to have as
many apples as WANTED, all the yeai
round, should be perfectly happy. And
nowl'
He went on to say that he had one OF the
finest farms on small scale TO be found
anywhere in Massachusetts, which produc.
cd last year ninety -four barrels Of apples o.
The best varieties yet produced, But he
did not eat two apples per annum. He
could not for while he was making hi,
fortune, he worked so hard and confined
himself so closely as to contract chronic
weakness Of digestion. With all the luru.
ries OF the world at his command, he was
obliged to live principally on oatmeal and
milk.
Later in his youth his ambition scared
above apples. He was beginning to get a
little more money than he absolutely need.

ride. He then thought that il he could
ever own horse fast enough to pass every
thing on the road, and take no mans dust,
he would be the prondest aud lappiest oi

but | never drive him. | gave him to my
son last summer. and for my own use
keeT an old plug that joys along six miles
an hour, without troubling myself about
him.
At this point our poor successful man
YEARLY took ont his watch to see how the
time was getting on, and we observed that
the watch was of peculiar pattern rarely
seen in this country.
"This watch" said he, sis another case
in point. One of my young ambitions was
to possess as good watch as mortal man
could make. have one. / gave 5000 in
gold for it, at time when gold was a
more expensive article than il is now But,
knocking about the world in sleeping cars
and Mediterranean steamboats,, was al
ways a little anxious about my watch; and,
besides, the possession Of so costly an article
by u traveller isa temptation to robbers
One day in Paris / noticed, in shop.win-

and 1t has been there ever since in an iron

ever since.
