i I i i I? X J 1 . 1 a ciiai'teh 1 ixti:oci:toi:y. His name was John llendei .son Tomp kins,' and he was going on thhteen years :d. He had freckles sll over lus no.se, chewed i-hifi tobacco, and loafed around select schools and put tin cars on boys smaller than himself. His father was kill ed by a Canada taw-log, his only si.- . ( v slept in the silent tomb, and his moll: : divided her time between gossiping tv.'.d canvassing for money for the heather, i.i Africa. CHAPTER II TKUSI.Y. Thus it will be seen that there was no one to give John Henderson Tompkins any domestic attention beyond an occasionr.l whack with a slipper, which made him the worse. He wasn't sent to school ; never had to take a dose of caster oil; was allowed to go around with a letter in.tlie postofTioe and his pants supported by a magnificent bolt tf i.eep twine, anil if he wasn't home lit 10 o'clock at night his mother felt per fectly sure that he would dump down some where and be homo in time fo: codfish and potatoes in the morning. CHAfTf.lt III SHAMEFUL NEOLIXT. John Henderson Tomkins' mothcrnevcr took him on her knee and asked hnu if lie knew what was beyond the bright stars, and if he knew where he'd go to if he grew up an awful liar and horse-thief. She never t ld him about the t hildien of Egypt, Moses in the bulrushes, or Daniel in the lion's den, and its no wonder that he grew up to be a bad boy. She didn't have stick ing plasters ready whon he got a cut ; and Bunday mornings there was no one to rub him behind his cars, fill his eyes with soap and water, and comb his hair the wrong way. CHAPTER IV HIS ri-.rUI.IAT5ITir.S. Everything which happened iu the vil lage was laid at John Henderson Tomp kins' door. "It's some- of that boy's work," they said, whenever a bushel of plums, a watermelon or a peck of peaches mysteri ously disappeared. He was probably guil ty of everything charged, as when I e died they found where he had hidden seventeen stolen cow-bolls, forty axes, ever so many saw-bucks, fifteen or I went v front gates and I can't remember how many shovels. CHAI'TKIt V DOWN ON HIM. In time, as the reader was informed in a previous chapter, the adult male, population of the vllagt got down on John Henderson Tompkins. Old maids jabbed at him with umbrellas ; merchants Hung pound weights at him; shoemakers dosed him with 8t rap oil, and th gioeeis always looked around for John Henderson when they wanted to heave out bad eggs and spoiled fruits. Cll AFTER VI Ills AMBITIONS. You might think they would have event ually succeeded in breaking the boy's spirit aud dashing his hopes, but they couldn't do it. He had the ambition which notliiinr could check. He w anted to be a bold pi rate and sail the raging main, and he was patiently waiting for the timo to come when ho could wear No. 10 boots and swear in a voice like the echoes of a bass viol. He would be content to crawl into hen roosts and to creep around horse-bai ns for a few years, but then but then CHAPTER VII EFFORTS AT REFORM.. Some of the more philanthropic citizens made strenuous efforts to reform the boy. They locked him up in a smoke-house for a week ; they clubbed him until he couldn't yell, and they held him under a pump until he'was as limp as a rag, but as'soon as they let him go he went right back to Lis old habits again. CHAPTER VIII NKATIING 1115 END. John Henderson Tompkins bad Kept this thing up for eight or nine years when our story opt ns, and he was neariug his end. Justice overtakes the guilty sooner or later, and justice was laying low for this bad boy. He had the cheek to believe '.hat he wouitl live '.o be a hundred years old, but lie was to bo taken down a peg or two, and his mother left an orphan. CHAPTER IX THE END. One day while iu the heyday of his wick edness, John Henderson Tompkins came upon something new in tho line of plunder. It was a pile of little cans labeled "Nitro tJlycerine Hands Off Dangerous Ii Fon," etc., but ho couldn't read, and he didn't care a copper. He carried a can be hind the meeting-house and sat down on a rock to open it. There wasn't any guar dian angel around to tell him that he'd pet busted if ho fooled with that can, and so he spit on his bauds aud gave it a whack on the stone. CHAPTER X OP.ITCARY. The. folks all ran out, and a good deal of trouble they found in separating the pieces of meeting-house from the pieces of boy, but they got together enough of John Hen derson to fill a cigar box and answer as the basis of a funeral. They buried the re mains in a quiet nook, and the gravestone maker put a little lamb on the headstone to show that John Henderson Tompkins, was meek and lovely. ?I. Quad. How It Came to Pass. The following, by a school girl of f.uu teen, shows a Yeiy line vein of humor. The composition was prompted by the following staia of facts : Margaret is a school teacher, faithful and painstaking. She advised Lor "youug ideas" to form an association for the inn" pose of improving their elocution and lit erary acquirements. The proposition met with disapproval ami evokeil the annexed ellort from the "Kosa" itl,,ta to in the essay : "And it came to pass in the days r.f Mar garet, sister of Sarah, that the voice of the ungramniatical was heard in the land, and the voice of Klocution perished and was "ot heard, aud the .stammerer and the stut terer, and the thick-torigued flourished. And Margaret said unto the maidens of Section A of the school in the street called Oiove, nigh unto Hudson, 'Form yo into society and .elect a leader from your midst and reform the elocution, so that our principal, Elizahcth, w ill bless us and cause her face to shine mnii ns.' And the maid ens said neither yea nor nay, but a murmur rose in A, and said Ketch, of the race of Iaac, 'i'es, let us do this thing,' for Kttch was versed in elocution. I$ut Rosa said, "ay ! since the Lord made mo -with all rny senses, I shall not turn fool for all the aged maidens of York,' for llosa's heart hankered not fter elocution. Then said Flor. nco unto llosn, and Ida, and Anasta sta, and other young maidens, 'Since this is be, let us take Mary Ann, of the tribe of MoVeany, for our leader, for where in the land canst thou find a greater spouter than this maiden?' Therefore, ye maidens, rotlect lo wise, and when ye come togeth er iu the congregation, do ye not let Ketch, Hatch, and McYeany do the spouting, and do ye sit l.y and hold your peace 'fast,' and say to Margaret, the sister of Sarah: low cm I speak when I have no voice, and bow be a fool when I was made wise! not Tnt lth d'-V ,5 whon 1 '"'a n-u- whercwith to wot my uhistlo i ,llfm'i'd ,VOri,y l,,:1,cve thou h;t't have a dement a,l U,c shalt dwell long o,,:de of the door of A ' t. hJte,SVSniJ.,ie rcrnliar diction of i -Kineneu sentences with out being i the least involved, and thee tremo youth of the ami,n,,, make it i lit erary curisriy ol peculiar iulerest. , It is true that one swallow doesn't nia!;c ' a Summer, but it comes suniiners near it! ; itimwm nanum ml 1771 A TV7T7" TIT T7 A TT i'Uliim VY.HiiX ITn iin i Vic tiiio 19 WHOLESALE AND RETAIL, -OF AND Sheet-Iron WARES, AND DEALER.

Mr. Francis Galtjn, well known for Iii? researches in regard to hereditary mentiil powers, has ben pursuit);; these studios, lie made personal inquiries of one hun-lre-J and eighty leading scientific men of the liny, and on their replies based l.Ls coae!iii-.r.s. M-.ist important was the almost pe:i-ieni coinliination of reinaikp.ble energy of bodv with renrxrkab!e energy of t'ie mind Size of Iie.id was considered and as a gener al rule, was larger than of ordinary gentle men. Sti'!, remarkably many i-cientifi men had small heads, nnd the stnall liead; were remarkable for activity. Health was a marked feature. Indeperidnnee of sjd.it and tenacity of purpose were also most narked characteristics of men of science, and notably a large proportion were mon o! 'ashless, ns principals of large commercial or iiietcanti'.e concerns. The great incen tive to science seemed, to the author, to l innate taste, ami in character lie regarded the scientific mind as anti-feminine. -s t hereditary qualities, that of health seemed most essentially due to parentage; and on the parental side the influence of qualities was apparently on the father's side in the proportion of 123 to 15 on the mother's side. A combination of all essential quali ties scMiied necessary V) the production of n man of mark, and that the laws of chance and alternatives came in to give actuality to results. In regard to education, the gener al condition seemed to be that they were not tied down in their studies to particular sub jects, but were given to the investigation of many. Av Invention wanted, is nn efficient method of preventing crossing on telegraph wires. We were recently in the manufac turing establishment of a weahhv firm whose office is located down town several miles from thtir works. The office and the manufactory have been connected with a telegraph line, as is the custom with many works similarly situated, remote from the general office in which sales, correspondence i ' and financial transactions are conducted. We are told, howeer, that it was not in use on account of the difficulty of keeping the wire from crossing other wires lietween the office and the Work. This difficulty exists in a great many cases in our large cities, where almost every street has wires passing over it. borne simple insulating device, which can be applied to the wires at the points where they come in contact in cross ing, and which could 'be easily applied, could hardly fail of securing a large sale. How TO LlCHT a Fire. All hnusekeen- ers have some time realized the difficulty of lighting a lire on a still, damp morning when the chimney will not draw, and vigor ous blowing proves ineffectual. Science er. plains the trouble as " caused by the diffi- cu.ty encountered in overcoming the inertia oi me long column oi air in the pipe or chimney, by the small column of air that c-an lie forced up through the interstices ol wood nnd coal, at the bottom of whicli the lire is kindled." This may 1 remedied by first lighting a few bits of shavings or paper placed upon the b.p : thus, by the heated :iir forcing itself into the chimney and c-taV hshing there an upward current, the room is kept Ave from the gas or smoke which is so apt to fill the room ; and the fire can then be lighted fitur. lielow, with good success. i . .""w to I.XSKUT Scrrws ,v Tr.K !

It is worth reproducing, for it Is often desir :.V'e to insert .screws in plastered walls with out attaching them to nny woodwork, but when we turn them in, the plaster gives way and our effirt is vain. And yet a screw may be inserted in plaster so as to hold light pictures very flnnly.

AVatt found that the strong est London draft horses were capahle of do ing work equivalent to raising 33,000 pounds one foot hi-h per minute, and he took this as the unit of power for the steam engine. The horse is not usually capahle of doing .so great a quantity of work. Rankine Tr,iVe ii(i,000 p.unds as the figure for a mean of several experiment, and it is prohable that 25.000 pounds is a fair minutes avera age work for a good animal. It would re quire live or six men to do the work of a strong horse. Watt's estimate has become, hy general consent among engineers, the standard of power measurement for all pur poses. Dressing for Leather. Preparations de signed to soften and preserve leather nre numerous, and are largely sold; but a de cided preference is given hy many persons to castor oil, applied clear and without lie ing heated. IJoois treated with' it are said to retain their water-proof quality, as well as their pliability and ease in wearing, until they are fairly worn ont. When it is used for greasing belts for machinery, those pest, the ruts, give it a wide berth. On old leather, lampblack may be added with good effect, but it is not required on new. For wagons and buggies, also, castor oil is ""c1 ux.sj, cantor oil recommended for its luhrieatin iriues and the durah ty it imparts J 1 . Coxsumixg Smoke.
