: A REMARKABLE UNBRELLA.-Among
the many curio collectors in New York
city there is one old gentleman who de-
clares his Umbrella to he his greatest
treasure. It is his inseparable companion,
and accompanies him wherever he goes.
The handle is made from piece of the
Charter Oak, in which is set small trian-
gular piecesof stone clipped from Ply
mouth Rockj the stick is made from
branch of the old elm, tree at Cambridge,
under which Washington assumed COM
mand of the colonial armies; the brass cap
on the lower end of the stick is made
from the trimmings of a sword soabbafd
once used by Gen. Grant; the green COW
ering originally served as the lining of
coat worn on State occasions by the suave
and courtly Aaron Burr; the ribs, springs
and other metal trappings were manufac-
tured from small steel cannon captured
by the Americans from the Hessians at
the battle of Brand dywine. Eight oblong
pieces of brass have been inserted in as
many sides of the octagonal handle. They
were made from buttons cut from the mill
tary coats of eight generals famous in the
Revolutionary war the owner of this uni
que umbrella values it at three hundred
dollars, does not believe in keeping bis
treasures under lock and key, but makes

A Touching Story.

quoted as telling the following story /:
''Four daya before I went to the front
with my regiment, we had q little girl
baby. She is now grown, aud you always
see her with me At any social gathering.
Well, in our army, the iurloughs came
very rarely indeed. Ia When We got into
line there was no great chance for man
togeti home It was about three years
afterwaFd that few of us were one night
going down the Mississippi on river
steamer. had been sick and was return
ing to my command, but pretty we'll bro
ken up even then. As for money, we did
not have any; and the night was hot as
lay down on the deck, my throat almost
parched with thirst Pretty soon q lit
tie girl made her appearance with
a big glass of lemonade. i tell you it
looked good tome: She saw me eye
ing it, stopped minute, looked very
doubtful at me, but finally came up to
my side, and said,g You look as If you
wanted something to drink and handed
me the glass. IL wasn't quite the square
thing to do, bat Itook it and handed it
back to her empty. 1t was like nectar to
me. Then most cordially thanked the
little creature, and sent her away. Soon
after, just like every child, she came back,
leading her mother to see the poor soldier.
You can imagine the reunion. They were
with my brothers family, and happened
to be going down the river That was
the only time during the entire four
years. fighting that I saw my wife and
baby; and under these circumstances
what man would everf forget it" .ssoa9

A Good Trade to Learn.

There are very few young men who
start out In life but what do SO with the
intention OF doing something that shall
furnish them q means of livelihood and
something more, which they may lsok to
in case there comes time when they can
not do So. 1t is Of course desirable to do
that which shall be the most shure of
bringing about this object, and it is
most important thing that the young man
chose that in which there is the best
chance for the accomplishment of this
end.
There are few trades to-day that offer
better advantages in this direction than
the machinist trade. As rule, they are
q better-paid GLASS of men than almost any
other, and the chances for advancement
are more numerous than elsewhere. The
young man who starts in 10 learn the
Fmachinest's trade has broad ield for de-
velopment. Upon this trade more than
upon sHY other depends the prosperity
and wealth of our country. There is a
constant and increasing demand for new
and improved :meohanisms, and it requires
the genius and ability Of good machinists
to furnish this demand Then there is also
the great field OF invention, that opens up
an unexcelled and exhaustless chance for
the ambitious and ingenious mechanic.
That there are "milions in it, ia emphat-
ically evident from. the examples before
us. Nor is it absolutely necessary that q
man shall be an expert. Some of the most
valuable and most profitable inventions
have been those worked up by men, who
were not experts, and who were scarcely
we'll versed in mechanics to be valuable
workmen. 49,
That many inventions are valueless, we
do not question. but that is not always
direct Indication that they are worthless
or unimportant as an invention. The one
great aim in this line should always be to
produce an article which is at once, simple
and possessing some features of novelty
or value over any similar existing device.
Another reason why we would consider
the machinist trade good one to be taken
up is because it is principally upon this
that the country depends for its wealth
producing forces, and while this state of
things lasts there will always be demand
for good workmen. A thoroughly good
machinist is seldom out of a job, and so far
as statistics show, there are less labor
troubles arising in this than in any other
line-Practical Mechanic.

YOU'VE PEOPLE MUST HAVE Fun
SoMEwHERE.-Young people must have
fun and relaxation somewhere; if they do
not find it at their own hearthstones, it

A few days ago there was meeting
of ministers in this city, and some of them
deplored the Indifference of the great
crowd to religious services, complained

of manuscript In dreaming, doleful voice,
and the dull monotone is no better than
an apesthetic. They tell their hearers
that virtue is virtuous and vice vicious;
that we are all prone to evil as the sparks
fly upward, and that if we don't mend our
ways right soon we shall go to everlasting

with which they ask the servant to pass
