heard q very cultivated lady once
remark that she would rather SEQ her son
an eminent blacksmith than an unsec-
cessful lawyer. We can never succeed
in any vocation for which we have no
positive liking. 1t often requires sew
eral years to teach girl n few airs on
the piano, and it istdifficult to distin-
guish her landscapes from death-bed
scenes. No matter how snowy an ac-
complishment may be, nor how honorae
bic or remunerativc . certain calling Is
considered, never put your children to
learn it unless they evince . decided
talent After years Of uninteresting
toll and defeat you will see them turn
70 their God-given work. Apropos OF
this subject saw not long ago a little
boy who.evinced the most decided talent
for drawing from nature. He could take

him at table got his spoon fastened in

the bowl part through. Itseemed never
to occur to him to let the handle pass
through. That boy would never succeed
In any business requiring mechanical

There has been in the past too little
concentration in the education Of girls.
They have studied too many things and
perfected nothing. While the course OF
study should not be limited, they should
pay particular attention to that art or
science or branch Of industry where
their tastes and talents stand as sign
board to point tho way. Success will
depend almost entirely on the degree Of
perfection attained and the degree Of
earnestness which is carried into the

Last Monday morning two tramps were

pieces SO that his remains could be put in a
bucket He was buried by the authorities.
The second one had an arm mashed and is

| A distressing and fatal accident occurred
in the lower end Of BraXton comfy, last
Tuesday morning. Mr.. John G. Salisbury,
who resides on Sand Hole run, branch OF
Birch river, was burning brush in clear
ing. and accompanying him was his thir-
teen year-old stepdaughter. While stand

scending struck the child on the head,
fracturing her skull and killing her almost
instantly.
Ward Harris, the colored boy who had
| his skull shattered by the breetchpin OF an
army musket three months ago, died last
| Friday evening. At the time of the acct
dent the physicians expressed surprise that
he lived at all, the iron being driven into
his brain to the depth of an inch, part OF
the brain being scattered on the ground.
His wounds rapidly healed, and he seemed
to experience little trouble, excepting a
headache. a few hours before his death he
complained of pain in his head. The case
is remarkable illustration of tenacity OF
