A table for Business Men The Effect of Triii ter's-Ink. There was once upon a time a man who , kept a store and sold goods wholesale and retail And became melancholy because tomers were shy and times hard. And he said; Lo! I am ruined, CU3- and the sensation is disagreeable. because it is slow in proares3. even as water doth gradually become hotter in i the pot wherein the loister boileth, until the crustaceous creature shrieketh out his soul in anguish. Lo! It is better to be ruined quickly than to endure this slow torture. I will give my money away to the poor man even the poorest, which is lie who OOiprinteth newspapers; and I will shut up my shop, and wrap myself in sack-cloth of desolation, and pass my days in the OOjpurlieus of broken banks, cursing rending the my hardness of the times and garments. And the howlinjr of Rome shall be as' j dulcet sounding dulcimers, and they who i blow the flutes and instruments of music, ( by diminishing the length of the DObC j tlicreot. And, lo! the printer even he who 1 publishes newspapers was made glad i by the bounty of him who sold whole- sale and retail: and he did sound his praises and print them morevor; and did blow his trumpet of fame respecting his dealings from the rising of the sun even to the going down of the same. And he even the printer of papers did magnily and enlarge upon the stock of goods which the trader had in his store, and did publish the variety, 1 and the excellence, and the newness, and the beauty, and the cheapness thereof, till the people yea! all of them, far and near were amazed. And they said, lo! this man hath gath ered from the east and west costly mer chandise and wares of wondrous value even the workmanship of cunning arti ficers and we knew it not. Go to, then. We will lay out our sil ver, and gold in those things "which the printer printeth of, and that which he doth publish shall be ours. For this man's merchandise is better than the bank notes of those who promise to pay, and therein lie, even banks of deposit which begile us of our money, and swin dle us like sin. But the trader was still sad, and he said the money that these people bring me for the goods in my store I will give io me printer, ana inu.s 1 wm ruin my self; I will do that which no man hath yet done in my time, or before. I will make the printer man, whom all men scorn for his poverty, rich, and he shall be clad in fine linen and rejoice. And the sons of men shall meet him in the market place, and the sheriff shall shun him. and the scoffers shall be re buked and shall take off their hats to him that was poor. And he shall flash the dollars in the eyes of the foolish, and shall eat bank note sandwiches. Yea, even shall he light his pipe with shinplastcrs and cast his spittle on the beards of other men. ror I shall ruin myself, and he who advertises me shall enjoy my substance. But, lo! the trading man even he who sold merchandise, became rich, and even as the unclean, beast lieth iu the mire, so stirred he not by reason of much greenbacks. And the people flocked to his store from the North, and from the South, and from the East, and from the West. . And the printer rejoiced, and his "phat" did abound. But the trader could not become poor, and his melancholy ceased, and the smiles of happiness were upon his face. And his children did become mighty in the land by reason of the dollars which many of the people who read his advertisements had poured into the tra der's money bags. Eight Children at a Birth On the 2d of August, Mrs. Timothy Bradly of Trumbull county, Ohio, gave birth to eight chilrcn three boys and five girls. They are all living and healthy, but quite small. Mr. B.'s family is in creasing fast. He was married six years ago to Munico Mowery, who weighed 273 pounds on the day of her marriage. She has given birth two pairs of twin aud now eight more, making twelve children It seems strange, but nev truc. Mrs. Bradley was a 'One of three, her mother and father both being twins, and her grandmother the mother ol uvc pairs ot twins. Lx. Speaking English. Two Dutchmen once got into a dispute about the English language, each one contending that ho could command the best. Theyjnade a bet at length, and appointed a judge to decide bctweq th.em, and accordingly they began. " Veil, Choc," said the first, did it rain to morrow?" " I shall think it vash," said John. Wasn't that judge iu a quandary? ' A Circus in a Tempest. A circus exhibited at Dubuque, Ioawa, one evening last week to about seven : hundred people. All went well till eight It 1 o clock, when one of the richest perform ances ever witnessed commenced The local paper describes it as follows: At this hour one of the fiercest rain storms that ever wet the earth since the deluge bean. In two minutes the can vas was saturated, and the rain poured as freely upon those inside the tent as it did upon the stones in the street. The. water rushed down the Third styet gutters in torrents, and poured upon the low ground occupied by the circus like a flood. In five miuutcs there were six inches of wa ter covering the earth there. People thought such a shower would spend it- self, and waited for it to stop In fiften minutes there was at least two feet of water on the premises. Then the ladies present thought it best to start for home. And such a start! Talk about the Black Crook ! And tumblinir! Th is is the way they did it. A centleman would take a lady in his arms and start for the I door. This couple would collide with make them. And as to skirts! nobody seemed to care whether skirts wcro gath ered as high as their waists, or thrown over their heads. Two ladies deliberately took off their shoes and stockings, and " gathering their garments high," started for land. They waded and stumbled towards the door, and the way the cheers went up from the crowd was stunuiug; they drown ed the loud thunder. At one time there was such a mixture of tumble-downs in the water that it was hard to tell whot were women and who were men, save by an occasional bearded face that appeared above the floating calico. Nobody seem ed mad everybody laughed until his or her sides ached. The circus performers added interest to the scene. Just after the rain commenc ed they appeared and began ground and lofty tumbling. The first ouo landed in a mud puddle and fell. With loud cheers the others followed suit. In less time than we are taking to tell this the water filled the ring. But the actors heeded it not. They turned hand-springs, somer saults, and made cart wheels, and walked on their hands, or attempted to, in the little lake, till their spangled tunics, their flesh-colored tights, their hands and faces were all of one color a dirty black. At each exercise the crowd cheered and the performers roared: Amid such sights as these the crowd made their way through mud and water to the sidewalks west of Iowa street, bet ter satisfied with their money's worth than any circus crowd ever was before. ThC Till lllillCS in Jlissourri. Thc St. Louis Times irives some ac- count of the recently reported deposits of j "I have taken my newspaper for twen tin in Missouri. Several thousand acres i ty years, nd have paid for it every year ut iuuu navu uccu tuioieu iu xuauisou ana Iron counties, upon which the owners hope to find tin lands which have here tofore been considered as almost worthless because of their hilly, rocky character, and their remoteness from river and railroad communication. These lands have been entered aud purchased by parties respec tively from Petroit, St. Louis, Chicago, Wheeling and Pittsburg, about in the or- der named as to quantity, U. K. Booth. of Detroit, taking the lead. The St. Louis parties have three Cornwall miuers at work exploring with favorable results. The " tin fever" has assumed a contaT gious form, and everybody has the " at tack." Farms which could not have been bought a week ago for ten or fiften dol lars an acre are now eagerly 'snapped up at one hundred and three hundred dol lars per acre; and if the investigation now being made results satisfactorily some land we know of could not be purchased for one thousond dollars per acre. The Ironton Register says: " Cornwall's glory has departed. The United States arc no longer dependent upon the old world for their saucepans; for in SoutheniMissourri there is tin enough to supply her kitchen for a mil lion years. " Our people arc fairly wild about tin. One-half the population own tin ruiucs, and the other half are trying to own some. Everybody has a piece of tin ore in his pocket, and thcro is scarcely a blacksmith shop in the country where ladles aud pans have not been coated with it. " Our towns are full of jauntily dressed individuals, who, having made fortunes in tho eastern oil regions and other land speculations, are here looking after tiu. Blow-pipes protrude from pockets as fre quently as 4 bowics' do in Arkansas. Farmers plow up green colored rock and unhitch thejeam, for they have found rtin. Discussions on thcohcrical subjects all .merge into tin. Everything is tin. Men drink to tin. Men dream of tin. There has been a tin wedding." Robert Bonner, of tho New York Le,Ljt r writing to the editor of the Troy IVity, says : 'A the capital I had when I began to advertiso I earped as a jour neyman printer; but I was careful to make a paper which when advertised and introduced, I knew tho people would like and coutinua to buy. I put my money into advertising, I paid cash as I went, aud my present fortune ia the result. The Ocean-Voyage of the Life-raft .Nonpareil. The Southampton corrsepoudent of the London Star gives the following particu lars of the successful voyage of the little raft Nonpareil : " The American life-raft Nonpareil, forty-three days from New York, arrived between five and six o'clock this evening, and is moored off the dock shore. This dariug adventure has been conducted by John Mikes, captain, and a crew of two, named George Miller and Jerry Mallene. She is only twenty-four feet long and twelve and a half feet broad. The raft, which has two masts, consists of three cylinders, pointed at each end, united together by canvas connections, having no real deck, and is strengthened by boards slipped under strong iron neck pieces, the whole kept together by lash ing. A waterproof cloth, hung over a boom, loosed at each end, somewhat re sembling a gipsy tent, affords sleeping accommodation, two at a time, and the third keeping watch. This is fixed on a strong locker, in which the provisions arc kept. " The raft lay-to seven times from stress of weather, and the last vessel spokcu was the John Chapman, a week since, from which they yere given a fowl, which is still alive and well. They have arrived with thirty gallons of water to spare. The captain was poorly two days during the passage, otherwise all have been in perfect health, and the men are iu good spirits, their countenances looking healthy and bronzed by the weather. They had no chronometer on board, aud sailed by dead reckoniug, and corrected their po sition by vessels they spoke. There is a smaller raft on deck for use as a boat. " Tho raft has kept perfectly water tight all the way, not a leak of any sort having occurred. She is fitted with an apparatus for filling the tubes with air. On the rival of the raft, Mr. J. It. Stcb bing, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, went on board, congratulated the crew on the success of their daring enterprise, and tendered them any good offices that might be required. The cap tain landed on his arrival to report to the United States consul, Captain J. Britton." A Miracle of Honesty. At a party one evening, several con tested honor of having done the most ex traordinary thing; a reverend gentleman was appointed judge of the respective pretensions. , One produced his tailor's bill with a receipt attached to it. A buzz went through the room that this could not be outdouc, when a second proved ho had just arrested his tailor for money lent him. " The palm is his," was the cry, when a third put in his claim. It was that he had returned two umbrellas. The astonished arbiter said he would hear no more, and was about to award the prize, when he was stopped by the fourth, who said : " I have done still more than that." " Impossible!" cried the whole com- rany, " Let us hear." 1U auiauix He took the prize. The Influence of Newspapers. Daniel Webster once remarked: "Small is the sum that is required to patronize a newspaper, and amply rewarded is its pa tron, I care not how humble and unpre tending the gazette which he takes. It is next to impossible to fill a sheet with printed matter without putting in it some thing that is worth the subscription price. Every parent whose sou is away from home at school should supply him with a newspaper. I well remember what a marked difference there was between those of . my school-mates who had and those who had not access to newspapers. Oth er things being equal, the first wcro al ways superior to the last in debate, com position, and general intelligence. The Young Men's Christian Associa tion of Peroria, 111., are furnishing the postmaster of that city with stamps to forward unpaid letters. A litllo slip sta ting the facts is sent along aud a small donation modestly requested. Among the letters thus recently sent was one address ed to Gov. Oglesby. The Governor ac knowledged the compliment by letter, thanking the Association for forwarding a very important missive from tho Attor ney General of the State who had ncg lectcv to pay postage, and made them a handsome donation. Recipe for Cleansing Wool. Take one pound of s.ilaratus for twelve pounds of wool, dissolve in water not quite boiling" ht, then put in the wool and stir occasionally for one hour; take it out and squeeze it thoroughly, or what is better, run through a clothes wringer, rinse in cold water and spread on grass ground to dry. This process will remove all gura and dirt from any kind of wool and make it much better for custom work. Vermont 'irmrr. i I won'hr not be a woman, for then I could uot love her," said Montague. La dy Montague says: " The only objection 1 have to beiug a man is that I should theu have to marry a, woman." " I wonder," said a Scotch maiden, what my brother John sees in tho lasses that he likes them sae well, for my part, I wad na gia the company o' one lad for twenty lastcs," Girls, Help Father. "My bauds arc so stiff I can hardly hold a pen," said farmer Wilber as he sat donwn "to figure out" some accounts that were getting behindhand. Could I help you, father, said Lucyv laying down her bright crochet work "I should be glad if I only knew what you wished written." 'Well, I shouldn't wonder ifrou could Lucy4' he said reflectively. 'Pretty good at figures are you V 'It would be a fine story if I did not know something of them, after going twice through the arithmetic said Lucy, laughing. 'Well, I can show you in five minutes what I have to. do, and it'll be a power ful help if you can do it for me. I never was a master hand at accounts in njy best days, and it does not grow any easier as I can sec since I put on my specks. Very patiently did the helpful daugh ter, plod through the long, dull line of flgurce, leaving the gay worsted work to 'ie all evening, though she was in suclk haste to finish her scarf. It was a reward enough to see her tired father, whohad been toiling all day for herself and the. other loved ones, sitting cozily in his easy chair, enjoining his weekly paper, as itr can be enjoyed in a couutry home, where news from the great world beyond comes seldom, and is eagerly sought for. The clock struck nine before her task, was over but the hearty "thank you daughter a thousaud times took away all sense of weariness : 'It's rather looking up, when a man can have an amanuensis,' said the father, 'It rs not every farmer that can afford it 'Nor every farmer's daughter that 13 capable of making one said mother with a little pardonable pride. 'Nor every one that would be willing if they were able said Mr. Wilber, which, last was a sad truth. How many daugh ters might be of use to their fathers iu this and many other ways, who never think of lightening a care or labor. If asked to perform some little service, it "3 dono at best with rcluctajit step, and an un willing air "which robs it of all sunshine or claim to gratitude. Girls, help your father ; give him a cheerful home to rest in when evening comes ; and do not worry his life away by fretting because he cannot afford you the luxuries you covet, or consent to your desires when in his mature judgment they are neither wise nor prudent, and that of your own best interests aud that of your family. ' Such a home atmosphere tends more than anything else to produce a hard morose character, which must ever make old age unlovely aud uncomfortable. Children exert as great an influence on their parents as parents do ou their chil dren. The Tyrolean Ba.e ball Club having become demoralized by the result of their "bout," with the Athletics, . a few days ago, when the score stood Athletics 118, Tyrolean 11, concluded to organize anew,, and at their last meeting the following rules were adopted : 1. No one weighing over three hund red pounds will be allowed to play. 2. Express wagons will be on hand to carry the players from base to base. 3. No player will bo allowed more thau three mca to help him to his home base. 4. Any player occupying more that fifteen minutes in going from one base to another will be couuted out. 5. Persons residing within halfamile of the grouudsare requested to close their shutters to prevent accidents. G. Spectators arc not allowed within twenty feet of bat. ' 7. Owners of horses hitched within? half a mile of the grounds must be re sponsible for all accidents that may occur to their "animilcs." 8. Men without arms or legs cannot become members. 0. Players cau stop fr refreshments at each base, where a small bottle will ba found. This bottle is sometimes called a base vial. 10. Hos raid cattle will not be allowed to pasture on the playing ground during thc game. 11. Fielders will carry their vials with them, in order to avoid tho cecessity of coining in for drinks. 12. Scorers will not be allowed extra driuks ou that score. ForThcoandMo. There is a tale, which, though idle in itlelf, the use may be good. A certain man who would never go to church, when he heard the saint's bell, would say to his wife, "Go thou to church aud pray for theo aud me." Ouo night he dream ed that both he and wife wero dead and that they knocked together at Heaven's, gate for entrance. St. Peter (by tho Jc geud) is tbe porter, and suffered his wife to enter iu, but kept the husband out au- swering him, "Sho has gome, both for herself and the As thy wife went to. church for theo, so she uust go to Heav en for thee." Thcro is a base ball club in Ottowa 111., every member of which weighs over two hundred poujids.
