A Correction.

Before the pr reduction Of the Berry
Pickers by the Central School children.
under the direction of Professor Ed
wards, we stated that the operaIta was
one of Mr.. Edwards own composition.
This was an error and we regret that 1t
occurred. Ii has Been limited by some
that the Professor himself furnished US
with the information; but nothing could
be farther fr om the truth. We learned
ii from another source entirely and in
justice to Mr.. Edwards We make the
correction.

SOLOMON BROS. & GOLD.
Success of a Firm that Makes All
Its Own Goods.

salt Lake has a number Of fiourishing
boot and shoe institutions, but that Of
Solomon Bros. Gold on Main Street
is one that may be said TO have a trade
entirely its own. The proprietors are
the pioneers in the boot and shoe in
dustry Of Salt Lake City, and they de-
serve all the success they have attained,
by reason OF their making in their own
shops all the goods they sell, and dis
bursting whatever may be the cost Of
production among the labOring people
here az home. In their shops situated
in the rear and above their establish
ment. forty-five hands are kept con-
stantiy employed; the firm has from
its commencement secured the desirable
family trade Of the great middle classes,
and the store at all times presents much
the same appearance of activity 70 be
seen at other places on Saturdays.
The proprietors themselves take an
active hand in running their business;
there arc no drOnes in the institution.
One of the Solomon Brothers, Mr.. Al
fred Solomon, left the store TO take the
position of city marshal at the last
election, but the remaining Mr.. Solo
mon and his partner. Mr.. Geld, are at
ali times to be found behind the coun-
tiers, catering 20 the wants OF their Gus
TONERS. They themselves belong to the
great substantial class of family men
and earnest workers, who constitute
the bulWark of any countrys pros
erity," and understanding their Gus
toners, readily know their wants, and
readily satisfy them. Solomon Brothers
& Gold is a firm that can be conscien-
tiously recommended.

Robert FuIton's Boyhood.

The boyhood of the famous Robert
Fulton. of steamboat renown, was
passed at Lancaster. Pa Here are
some anecdotes of him while he was at
school there: On one occasion his
teacher reproyed him for neglectng
his books. and the reproof was admin,
istered after the manner OF the oio
masters with ferule on the knuck-
les.
Robert Strengthened himself, folded
his arms. and then said to Mr. john
son:
Sir. came here to have something
beat into my head, and not into my
hand"
On another occasion he came late,
and " hen the teacher asked the reason
Robert answered that he had been at
Mr.. Miller's shop pounding out lead TO
make penciL In proof of TINS state
ment he exhibited the pencil and said
it was the best he ever had in his Life
Mr.. johnson approved it and gave
the youth some words of encourage
ment, and in a few days nearly all the
other pupils were supplied with pencils
OF the same kind
1t is said that when Mr. johnson
once urged him to give more attention
to his studies, the boy answered that
his head was $50 full of original notions

INGENIOUS ToRMENTCRS.
A Class Of Aggrara ting Persons who Are
Sure TO Come to Grief

sure to Come to Grief.
There Is class of people who seem
to delight in tormenting their ac-
ouaintances in all manner of ingenious
WAYS. One of their fasorite modes OF
ANNOYANCE Is to make illusions &c
painful circumstances in the past lives
or present situation of ones friends,
ALWAYS. of course, in polite manner
Suppose, for instance. that q friend has
committed some notedlv iiDprudent or
rash act In the course of his life. or at
any time from any cause made himself
a public laughin g-stock, or is now sui
fering under some wound inflicted on.
his vanity or his fortune. all that one
of these tor1nentors has to do Il TO
bring the conversation to that point
W whatever it is, and enjoy the affected
franaaillity with which his friend talks
of it. aid the time that he knows bis
annoyed victims heart Is burning
within him. There is one great adyan
tage attending this mode of torment
ing. and that Is, it can be performed
with an appearance OF frankness ex-
tremely ororable TO ones self Then
ii looks downright. and maintains q
character for plainness of speech. nn-
der favor of which you may in time
bEE0IlR " laA IL CdAAtSA pei
son. and so be able TO say all kinds Of
disagrseable things at ali times TO amy
body
Another mode of torment pracfaced
BY these people consists In aequadnIing
ones friends with depreciatory opin-
ions which are. or may be supposed 10.
be, entertained of them BIZ Others. This
mode NAV want some of the adEan-
tages of the candid plan, but it is safe
and pleasant, ard quite as effective
There are people who may think il
mean to report things said by Others,
and worse than mean 10 invent them
and say them in the name OF persons
who never so much as dreamt of them.
But it is an acknowledged maxim
amongst the honorable body of tor
mentors that the end sanctions the
means: and as they claim that 1beirl
purpose Is generally the laudabse one
of taking down pride, or perhaps the
still more useful one of inspiring lit
tie prudence into the brains of folly. ii
is natural for them to suppose that. in
stead of blame. they deserve some pub
lie mark Of appreciation
Hence. it not infreguently happens
! that one Of these aggrayating persons
! will pursue his detestable work of tort
ure with saDctimonious air. as thou gt
be were in fact performing a most
| benevolent and praisewortby action.
/ But such people are sure to come &c
gref In the course of time Their
] friends grow fewer and fewer they
are more and more summed by the
right-minded and kind-bearfed. and
are finally left exclusively to their own
society, which is tho worst that. can be
