An old and successful merchant relates the following anecdotes : When I was quite a old clerk that is, old for the years I had been clerk in?, though only 20 years of age I was told by the head clerk one morning that the senior member of the firm had directed me to be sent to his residence as soon as I appeared. "The porter is to go with yon," said tbe head clerk. Something in his face made me think that he knew what I was wanted for, so I asked : "What's up T "He wants you and Bill to take np and shake his carpels," was tbe answer, given with a peculiar smile. For a second I thought pf my rights. I had hired out to be entry clerk and book keeper, and here I was expected to go down to the residence of the proprie tor and beat carpets! I was troubled with as much pride as tbe average young man of 20 possesses, and that is no small amount. I don't remember of anything more distasteful ever offering itself to me, but I said : "All right ; I'm ready when Bill ia." We went at our task. I didn't pout or sulk, or assume an aggrieved air, but went on my knees pulling up tbe carpet as cheerfully as I could. We had a day of it; tbe carpets to take op, be beaten, and then put back. The proprietor was chatty, his wife was sociable, and I taade the most of my opportunity. It never harmed me. I bad evidence afterwsrd that my work that day was a stepping stone in my ca reer, and I almost call it one of the turn ing points in my life. Consumption Surely Cured.

A New York arlist who was down on the Jersey shore sketching and painting sold a farmer a crayon diawing in which the central figure was old Father Time w ith bis deadly scythe. The buyer, ac cording to the Sun, took it away well pleased with hisrcrcha.se, but returned the next day with a grin on his face and the picture under his arm and said : "I've got a son Bill to home." "Yes." "He hain't but fifteen years old." "Yea." "He's got tow hair and a cataract eye, but he's smarter'n chain lightning." "Indeed, but I am glad to bear it" "I hadn't this pictur home five niinits when Bill set up a-roarin' and laughing and p'inted out what d'ye think? You've gone and drawed old Father Time a-mowin' left handed. I might never have noticed it, but you can't fool Bill fur cider." "My dear man," answered the artist, "did you ever see Father Time V "Of course not." "Did your son Bill ever see him?" "Sartinly not He ain't to be sawed." "Well, then, how do either of yo0 know whether he is right or left band. d ?" "By gam 1" gasped the farmer, as he stood with open month, "you've got the yoke on us. That's it ; how do we know ? I've had three different hired men who were left handed, and I've known other folks to be. I jest jumped at it without etoppin' to think. When Bill began to haw-haw and pint to the scythe, I jest sot in and agreed with him." Say, mister." "Yes." "I've got son Bill?'
