A Lesson Worth Reading.
Recently a jrentlenian of Boston entered
the bacrcracre aire of an outward train, and
desiring to read some manuscript, he chose
this car because it was airy and retired. A
youngster about 15 years of age was oc
cupying with great abandon, a chair. The
gentleman wishing to sit near the open
door of the car, to obtain more light and
air, thus accosted the youngster.
"Bub, will you exchange that chair for
my seat, a few minutes ?"
"No, sir ; this chair is engaged."
The gentleman was very polite, as he re
cognized the 3oung man's right to the chair
by actual possession. It appears that he
was tcmporily in charge of some express
matter, his father being the expressman on
the route, but the moral of the incident we
shall give in relating another incident,
which occurred very many years ago
There was a very plainly dressed elderly
ladv who was a frequent customer at the
then leading dry coods store in Jioston.
- t
No one in the store knew her even by
name. All the clerks but one avoided her
mTO h,',r- ntfnritJnn in rhncn wLww
bftter dressed and more Dretentious. The
excention was this vounsr mau who had a
conscientious regard for duty and system,
He never left another customer to wait on
the ladv. but when a liberty he waited up-
on her "with as much attention as though
she had been a princess. This continced
for a year or so until the young man be-
f,f.i (Wmnrmnrr t ho :u v an-
nroached the vounsr man, when the follow-
in? conversation took ilace :
Lady "Younsr man do you not wish to
iro into business for yourself ?"
D . r . . .
"Yes. ma am : but 1 have neither money,
credit, nor friends, nor will any one trust
mo "
Well, vou tro and select a crood situa-
tion, ask what the rent is, and report to
me." handin'jr the yountr man her address,
The vnun? man went, found a capital
location, a good store, but the landlord re-
quired security which he could not give,
Mindful of the lady a request, he torthwith
went to her and reported his doings.
" ell, you go and tell 31 r.
that I will be responsible."
He went and the landlord or agent was
surprised, but the bargain was closed. The
next dav the ladv called to ascertain the
result. The oung man told her, but ad
ded, "What am I to do for goods ? No per
son will trust me.
"You may go and see Mr.
and Mr. , and Mr. . and
tell them to call on me."
He did, and his store was soon stocked
with the best goods in the market. There
are manv in the city who remember the
circumstances and the man. He died
many years since and left a fortune of three
hundred thousand dollars, bo much lor
politeness, so much fur civility, and so much
rw'o 1.W with tlin dfrrnp
due to aire in whatever srarb thev are
clothed. Now this zcntleman in the has-
gasc car might have been a director of the
road or a very influential man otherwise,
and as ho is a verv observing man and a
cr nA iikIo-i. nfr-lmr:irtr si different. ntlSWfr
Irom the voumrster mi 'ht have interested
him i his behalf and lead to some future
advantage.
An Incident With a Moral.
Some years aero, when defalcations of
bank officers were not so frequently made
public as at present, a young gentleman
was invited temporarily to nil the place
of an absconding teller of a prominent
bank, who had neglected to square up his
accounts before leaving. One day not long
after a check tor a large amount, signed by
the president of the bank, was presented
at the counter bv one ot the clerks. 1 he
president had no such amount on deposit,
and the clerk was politely informed of the
fact by the teller, and that, of course, the
check could not be paid. "But it must
be," said the clerk ; "I cannot help that,"
said the pro tcm-pore officer, "There are
1 o lunds to meet it. 1 11 see u you won t
pay it," said the clerk, who at once tarried
the d'shouoi cl check to his principal, then
in the directors room. That official hast
ily appeared behind the counter, and in no
crentlemanlv manner denuded why his
check had not been paid. u.o hinds.
- . y . . . .
"That makes no difference. You know I
could mako it good in a few hours. You
must pay it." "Sir, I shall pay no check
unless the funds are here to back it, said
the teller firmly. "Then I will cash it my-
self, said the president, proceeding as it
to do so, from the piles of money before
him. "Sir." said the teller, "I am held
resjxmsible for that money, and if you touch
a dollar of it, you do it at your peril. lut
when my accounts ior the dav are made up
and accepted, vou may take the whole for
all I care." The president used some very
stronjr language and retreated to the direc
tors' room, and told
how "that impudent
fellow" had refused to honor his check. A
brief talk with his associates showed him
that the teller was right. One of the di
rectors who had funds loaned his check to
cover the emergency, as the president !
note for ten times tlie amount would have
been promptly discounted if he had asked
it : and the teller, supposing ins time was
up. carefully prepared his accounts lefore
the time for closing, and presented them to
the president, saying he supposed he was
to leave after what had passed. "No, sir,"
said the president, "you are not going.
You were right and I was wrong."
Moral. If all bank, cashiers and tellers
could have the firmness aud grit to refuse
all over-drafts of their directors ami other
j powerful customers, we tlumld bear of but
n i it I , . rr 1
their own rules, and were moderately care
ful in lookiujr after the books of their of-
fleers, there would be little inducement and
less opportunity for such defalcations to
continue for any series of years. II 'urces-

Preparing Fish for Winter.
It is estimated that at present there re
storcu in iew xorit cuy auout iiv,vw
pounds of valuable fish in a frozen state for

touched while freshly caught fish can lc
brought to market. Terrapin is one of
the luxuries of the table. Those who
catch them have to hunt for them as iar

anything like a supply for the ew lork
market, a leading wholesale fish dealer
found it liecessarv. several years airo, to
lay in a stock during the summer, at which
time, m consequence oi tneir voracity, me
terrapin are more easily caught. As it
is necessary to preserve the terrapin alive,
he caused a large pen to be constructed on
the shore of Pleasure Bay, near Long
Branch, about 100 feet square, constructed
with a fence of planking S inches wide, 2
inchos thick, ana oi ordinary lcncrtn. ine

or four years past the fish dealer stored hi

As the luod they appear ruo.n to enjoj can
be easily had, the cost
of maintaining the
pens is small : while the revenue,
should
be scheme prove moderately successful, will
be very great, as even good fat terrapin
bring in this market irom to 510 per
dozen.
Marriage Outright
From an old Carolina periodical wc clip
1 .t 1 "1 A. A.
an anecdote that nappuy illustrates uie
custom of the period when physical force
was the tribunal before which all questions
were brought for arbitrament.
In one of the upper counties of North
Carolina a voumr fellow bv the name of
-
Ben Sykes had courted a fair one for some
years, but either was not ready or willing
as he never came to the point.
At last she got mad, and declared she
would marrv Bill Patterson if he ever
courted her acrairi.
Bill, hearing this, went and once more
put in his claim ; but he was a scurvy lei
low in some tinners, and neither dad nor
niam was willing
So he secretly goes to B., gets a license,
and that night they made off for a Gretna
squire. .
On their road to happiness, however,
who should thev meet but Ben Sykes. He
Jrot an inkling of what was
B n
ctai n rr
on ana
when he met them he understood how the
case lay.
" Sally, says he, " 1 ve tooled with you,
that's a fact, and I'm sorry for it. But if
you still prefer me to Bill Patterson, just say
so and I will give him a thrashing, take
his license and make Moody marry us to
night.
The old love was too strong for the new.
Ben cave Bill a thrashing, took his eaJ,
and, (what he hated most) his license,
which cost him seventy-five cents, and was
off with his plunder to Moody s.
The old Squire did not so well under-
stand how one man could be married in
virtue of a license granted to another.
Ben said he did not himself understand
law quibbles, but this he knew, that unless
he did it, he (the squire, would ketch it
too.) The hint was enough for Moody,
who. without much ado, pronounced them
man and wife.
Who Knows Him ?

wards at Norfolk, Ya. He writes to the
Postmaster at Easton inquiring concerning
Dr. McKay, whom he has reason to think
is in Pennsylvania somewhere. Uur con-
