GOING DOWN HILL.
'• That looks bad," exclaimeil Far
tiler White, with an expiessive shake
of the hei,d, as -he pas..q:d - a neglected
g:',den anal broken down .fence, in
one of his daily walks.
" Bad enotc2h," was, the reply of
his companion, to whom the , rework
was addressed.
and Plaids,
O\ I:ICONTINGS,
" Nelizhbor Thompson appears to
be running dlow•n hill pretty cnst. I
ran remember the time when every
thing iiroutal this little place - was
trim tAid tidy." •
. "It is.quite the contrary now." re
turned the farmer,
." IL 'use, out
budding,s, and grOurals . all show the
want of a master's care. I'm afrah
Thompson's in the downward path."'
" Ile 'always appeared to be
steady,iminstriots . man," rejoined
tlie first speaker; " I have a pair of
boots of his make On my feet at this
moment, and they hate done me
good servi(+."
En
" I generally 'employ him for my_
self and ; family," replied Farmer
White, "and I must confess that, he
tk a good woikman ; but, neverthe
le\s 1 believe 1 will step into Jack
Sm 1: t's this morning and Order a pair
of bop s, of which I stand 'in need.
I :Away make it a rule never to pat
ronize tho -e who are running behind:
hand - The is generally some risk
in helping -tll se who do not help
themselves. .
" Very true ; ft 11 as my wife \
de
sired me to see abo t a pair of shoes
for her, I will . follow your example
and call on Smith. 11
, is no favor
ite of mine, however—an idle, ()intl.-
relsome fellow."
" And yet he seems to be etting
ahead -in the world," iinswel the
farmer, "and 1 am willing to ive
him a lift. But, I have an errand : t
the butcher's. Stop in with me for a
moment. I will not detain - you
long." A
At the butcher's they met t e
neighbir who had been the sit Joel,
of.• - their previous cunversatiol , lle
certainly- presented a ratherishabl.,
appLarance, and in his choi •'e of meat
there w:ls a regard fob' ecc 'my wt•hich
did not escape the -( )servation of
Farmer 'White. • - •
After a few pas-'ng remarks, the
•poor shoemaker ook his departure,
and the butehe opened his account
book with ayanxiotts, air, saying as
he charged - the .bit of meat
I believe it is time that neighbor
.Thomp:on and 1 came to a settle

frig • ds."
'No time •to lose, I should say,'
' - aid the farmer. •
@ es.so and up
" Indeed ! have you heard of any
trouble, neighbor ;White ? "
"No. I blve heard nothing; but
a man has the use of his own eyes,
you know, and I never trust my mon:
ey to anyone who is evidently going
Mown hill."
" Quite right, anti I will send in
my bill, this - evening. I have only
delayed doing so on account of the
sickness which the poor man has had
in his family all winter. 1 suppose
he has run behind a little, but" still I
must look out for numWr one."

to take an interest' in the conversa-
tion. " Goine - down hill :is he? 1
must look out. for myself then. He
owes me a snug surnofor 'leather: I
did intend to • give him another
Month's credit, but -.on the whole; I
gti,ss the money will be safer in my
own . jiocket."
Here-the four worthies-set - mated,
each with his mini' filled with the at
fairs of 'neighbor 'Thompson, the
'probability of his going 'down hill,
land the best way of giving him a
push: • •
In another part orthe village abn-
Hai scenes were transpiring. •
"I declare," exelaimed. Mrs. Ben
nett, the dressmaker, to. her favorite
assistant, as she' hastily withdrew her
head from wlience - she bad been gaz
‘hig on the passers . by, "if there is
WttheShoernaker's wife, Mrs. Thomp
soncoming up the steps with a par
cel in ter hand. She wants me to do
her spring sewing, I suppose, but,l
think it - w.o4a - iM a venture. Every
body pays they are running down
hill, and it. is a \ slina ehafibe - •if fever
. I
get my pay."
" She always paid promptly," was.'
, the reply.
" True ; but that Was in the days
of her prosperity. I cannot allbrd to
run any risks."
The entrance of Mrs. Thompson.
prevented further eunversatiorr:„
She. was evidently 'surprisedby
the refusal of Mrs. Bennett to do any
work for her, but as a great pressure
of busidess was urged as an excuse,
there Was nothing to'be said, and she
soon took her leave. Another ap-:
`fication- proved equally unsueeess.
ful It :was strange how 'very busy
the illage: dresSruakers had become.
• On Jug way home the. poor shoe
maker's\wife met • the teacher .of a
small in the neighborhood.
where two of - her children tided.
" Mrs.`` lionipson, lam glad
to see yob," was tht; :salutation. "1
a 4 about Calliun to see you this'af

convenient to settled . (7 little ac

"Our account !" was the
rejoinder. "Surely the terim,

" Only half of it ; but my pre:ent

is a - plan which . many teachers
afloptcd of late."' •
"I Was' not aware that there had

she passed on she murmured to her
self: t ,

OIL AT SEA.
Although the effects of pouring oil
upon the, troubled waters scarcely
enters into. tip mind of man beyond
_a figurative sentimect. there area few
modern instances of its wonderful
power at,sea in oases of impending
„ship wreck. - Those few cases, how
ever, which..have found a faithful re

public attention ; Jro if the efficacy
of oil is of the' nature which these ac
counts would lead -us to accept, so

high on the strand that *e men were

'captain, who, as the boat entelel the

*hen a ship is disabled and - cannot,

has to make th,V - bestof a gale. if' he.

Tor an hour longer if he had not bad

six hours, and thus saved thevessel,

that ships of heavy tonnage should
-have two iron tanks of forty !rallons .
'each, one!ou Citlier side, with the fau
cets. so arranged that the oil can be
started at ally time into small ves

all ships \ boats; casks of five gallons

out two canvass cloth bags; into -
each he poored two - gallons of oil.
Ire. punctured the bags slightly and '
hung one over each quarter, totting
thcm.along ; The effect was magical.
The 'wares no longer broke against
the poop-.and sidem of the ship; but
yards and yards away, and.whhere the
oil had slowly spread itself over the
water and in the wake of the vessel
was a large space of calm water. The
crew were thus able to repair dama

WRESTLING WITH GLUT POWDER
The accidents that oceur from the
use of giant powder. writes a -Dow
nieville 'miner to the Mountain .Mcs:
senger, compared With those arising
from the use of black powder,- are in
number altogether . most • favorable.
to-the former. Men that- have used
the. black powder a lifetime, and the
giant since:it first carve into use ; are
most• frequently the ones that are in
jured-or killed. - They have becoMe
too familiar, and consequently. More
careless in handling. Even it. is :a
question of doubt whether .an acci
dent ever °emirs from using powder
in'taineS at all; if all the disasters
we hear or read of could be traced
up, nearly - all would be found to be
earelesiness or.pure absence of mind
of the persons using the powder; and
those.that have. used it longest may
- be the next victims. - Miners knd*
that the giant caps - are more danger
ous than the powder itself. I will
mention three cases, one tny own.
„We often read or: hear how people
lose their fingers or their lives by in-.
vedigatmg: the fulminate in, giant
caps \with a pin, a nail, a knife, or
even . carrying them loose in their
pockets, the mercury getting warm
and explAing with a light concus

death. " - The appearance of a miner

was shooting out a blaze that seemed

explode, but Tom did. Ile shot out

It is, for instance, impossible not to

to his room, flinging his boot.a.down
heavily, and srarbming/the door,_
though an upright and excellent per

yet lacks the finer qualities of
the gentleman. The essence of court
esy is moral: it ie a sympathetic . re
gard

spares them unnecessary annoyance.
When it is instinctive, it is (gilled
tact. hut it, is, at hottorn t hu . manity ; ..
So when a public man vituperates /
another,. however " smart " the abuse
may be, there is an instant perception
Of the want of true gentlemanly feel
ing. However - polished the invec
tive, it is n:Othing, more than the style
of. the. stews. When Lord Beacons

strain that we. quoted last month, it .
was instantly felt that, he had made
a mistake ; and . althopgh he• might
be, as his admiers aSsert, the last •

ghardim, or those Hebrews who CM

interminable generations of ancestors

Perhaps, then,. it is better soni . e

is undoubtedly the practical conclu
