Preparing for Business.

Every young workman should
make it his aim to rise above
mcdiocrity and to thoroughly
master ever detail in connection
with the calling he has chosen.
Rather than seek occasions to
shirk work, to pick out work of
an easy character suited to his
fancy, he should improve his gol-
den opportunities of gaining i'll
formation. Such advantages may
never again occur.
His manner should be obtrusive
rather than backward, and nc
should initiate the habits of staid
and worthy workmcn.
Disappointment may, at times
be the only reward received, but
persistent efforts to overcome
difficulties will gain the victory.
Every victory thus gained Dy
him is a step forward, and tho
knowledge thus secured acts as
capitol in securing further tri-
umphs.
The feeling of confidence that
fills the young mans breast who
has consciertiously devoted his
best efforts to become proficient
in his trade, is l,ountiful for the
tedious hours OF toll spent in its
acquirmcnt.
Such u young man can give
value for the wages he receives.
He feels that he is al indepen-
dent man, and he knows that he
can find employment in any city
or town where his vacation is in
vogue.
The competent workman will
not remain long out os employ
ment. The business community
cannot afford it.
There is room for him in the
workshop, foundry, and printing
Office, and the unskilled labor
er must go-must pay the penal
ty of his injudicious and unwise
neglect of opportunities 10 his
youthful days.

How the President Sat Down On .
Bore.

The president has prided him
self on his ability to got rid Of
bores, and he has generally sue
ceeded in doing 80 without letting
the bore know that he regarded
him us u bore. He had a caller
yesterday that he had the great
est difficulty in getting rid Of.
Tho man in question came from
somewhere in Michigan. His sto'
ry was more than ordinary long,
and the president stood It US we'll
rs he could. being confident that
it would end some time, but the
Michigan man would not stop.
He talked and talked, notwith-
standing that the president turned
away from him several times. As
q last resort, the president advan-
ced toward a gentleman in tho
room who had the day before heen
appointed to u foreign position,
and he began talking with him
when the Michigan man caught
hold of the presidents arm aud
turned him around saying, 81 am
not through yet" AS he secured
the attention of the president he
let fly again with renewed vigor.
The president gave him several
more minutes and was about turn
ing to the foreign consul when
tho Michigan man caught hold of
his arm with repetition of his
former remark, lam not through
yet" The president had u smile
on his face us he turned to tho
persistent taiker saying in a de-
termined manner :--"Well, I
want you to understand that / am
through, and IT you want to sub
NIT any more remarks have them
printed and sent to me-" He
withdrew, and q dozen or moro
who were sitting around the room
anxiously awaiting their turn to
be heard had n laugh at his ex-
pcnse, the president Joined in it.
The Michigan man turned up at
the White House promptly this
morning, having availed himself
of "leaveto print" and presented
his statement printed by type
writer. He did not ask further
audience, contenting himself with
a request that the package be
handed to the prcsident.-N.Y.

WIT AND GRAVY.

An Interesting Chapter From Bill Nys.
My carving is like my dancing.
It is not conventional. It is OK
tremely original, bold and auda-
cious. / try to introduce joints
where nature did not intend for
them, and l try to make short
cuts across fowl in a way that is
productive only of chagrin, vexa-
ton and fragments of hen. Man
is u weak, falliable creatures, aud
he ought not to seek to monkey
with anatomony with the anatomy
or to improve joints and apertures
where they DO not belong, tor at
such time as you think not the
knife will slip, and it will trip
over the celery glass and ill the
bosom of - warm personal friend
with gravy.
To attract attention and to kecp
up the spirits of the company,
therefore | make it kind of bus
mess, rs it were, to fill the air
with harmless amusements, and
ut the same time that | shed stuff
fling through the atmosphere and
mutilate the bosom of hen.
This gives me an opportunity, oc-
casionally, to gather up the sage,
bread crumbs and gizzards out of
my lap and return them to the
platter without exciting remark
A few weeks ago, on an occa-
sion of this kind, u cousin of mine,
a young lawyer connected with
the Omaha road, u young man of
good parts, and whose business it
is to stand between the Omaha
road and substantial justice, Mt 80
much q year and travelling expcn-
ses, was present.
I had just sam something smart
to keep the company good-natur-
cd while asked u young lady at
the other end of the table to
please return the duck which |
had inadvertently presented to
her with the carving fork stuck in
it. Every one was laughing joy
ously and trying to conceal it by
putting their napkins to their
mouths, when my cousin turned
to- my little daughter and said;
"Bcssie, haven't YOU got q
funny papa, thought"
"Ycs, indeed" said the un-
grateful, unfilial and irreverent
heir apparent toa great name
"You better believe he Is funny

A handsome carriage stopped in front
# Brentano's yesterday afternoon, and
the president alighted. He was anxious
to avoid publicity, and hurried arOnd to a
side door on Eleventh street, whereby he
gained an entrance to the Photographic
studio on the second floor. The members
of the cabinet. not quite so modest, pass
ed through the bookstore as fast as they
arrived, and assembled the main stair
way. It was a very good natured
group, and Mr. Prince found that the
men whose labOrs directed the affais Of
the nation were wonderfully submissive
in the hands of photographer. In q
few moments the group was arranged,
four seated and four standing. The
presdtnU sat in the center, with Secreta-
ry Bayard on his right and Secretary
Manning at his left. At the extrme left
sat Secretary Lamar. Behind them
stood Postmaster-Gene Villas, Secreta-
rs Whitney and Endicott, and Attorney

Are you ready, gentlemen said 1Lr
Prince. Yes. replied Secretary Man
ling, who acted as spokesman. There
was a moment ofsuspense, during which
the party sat like statues, and then the
smiling photographer informal them
that it was all over. By this time the
presidents carriage had attracted consid-
cradle attention, and quite a crowd had
collected in the street. This caused the
president to become impatient, and as

the door and gained his carriage.
