penses, and frequently exceeded them. Proof
of the superior merits of this invention will
be found in the testimony of every man who
has jriven it a trial, and among the' number

A tiuuD LifCTife
A jMarscillcs paper merchant went to
make a purchase at Toulon. That done,
he Jeft Toulon to return - larseilles.
II is wife and son, apprised of his depar
ture awaited. his couiing. For four long
days they waited in vain, in a state of
fearful and ever increasing anxiety. Oa
the morning of the fifth day, their dog,
who had accompanied his master in hi3
iourney, arrived alone. The poor crea
ture was in a puful state
Every sound j
"of his voice, every movement he "inal
annotinced the deepest. grief, lie licked
his mistress' Lands, lay down at her feet,
and began to howl.
'Misfortune has come to the house,"
the said, "a presentment of evil chokes
my breath. If your poor father should be
dead ! The Lord have pity on us !"
'If you wish mother, I am ready to' go
in search of him !"
''Go my bey ;. go, by all u:eons. Take
Rristol With you. lie will be sure to lead
you to his master, alive of dead."
'Rristol, hearing what was said, rose to
his feet, and walked slowly toward the
door. The young man saddled a go; 1
ile uidnot return until the folkwn.g day.
During- the whole time cf h'a absence t.is
mother prayed and wept.
'You are a lone' she said ; "I under
stand what that means. Your father is
no more and I am left a widow."
He knelt by her side, and .Bristol lick
ed their hatrds while they wept together.
'"What information. have you obtained V
she asked. ;

Six iiionths elapsed. The atU A i-io vS the
officers cf justice being dirccle- .0 hU'i,,
rcceut ciitnes, thought no more of the pu
rer merchant. But those he had loft :!
mourned ,his loss. Bristol had lopt all 1
gayety. lie spent whole li"urs sorrowful
ly stretched on a little straw bed in the
court-ynrd of the house.
One evening, while following hi:-, young
master about the town, he entered with
him into a c S-- hi which several strangers
were assembled. The young man toA a
seat at a tnbb beside 1 couple of acquain
tances, an,-Bristol having nothing better
to do, beguiled the time by walking up
and down the room. Suddenly, after ut-
tcv'"ga low growl, Le furiously fiew at a

' r"This is insufferable, rVr.i'nable!" shout
ed the ; bystanders, addressing Bristol's
owner. "Call off your dog aud take him

With sonic difficulty the young man
succeeded in making the enraged animal
loose his 'hold, and cculd find no otfier
means of calming him except by Carrying
him quite out of the. cafe. But before
they hud gone a hundred steps, Bristol left
his master, ' returned to the cafe, and at
tacked th'e tall, thin stranger. Once more
the 3"0Ung man was obliged to employ force
to separate the dog from his enemy.
Amongst the witnesses of this terrible
scene there happened to be a commercial
gentleman who had been formerly inti
mately acquainted with the paper merchant.
Pale and trembling ; with emotion, he ap
proached the young man, and inquired in
a whisper, "When your father took his
unfortunate journey to Toulon, had he this
dog with him ?" -
"Yes," replied the paper merchant s
son
"Bristol even reached our house uc-
fore tho disaster which has ruined its was
known."
- During this secret couver."itin. Bristol,
whom his master held in check by means
f pe 'tied round his neck, made extra
ordinary efforts to get loose.-.
"I may he mistaken," the other contin
ued, f'but it is just possible this man may
be your father'3 murderer, llemaih here
while all these people are talking amongst
themselves about What has happened ; I
will run to the Ommissaire de Police for
xiti cuarter 01 an :;eur lie came Lack
with a pos.se of. men, who surrounded and
filled the public house. The suspected in
dividual was at once arrested, and conduct
ed forthwith to the prison. On searching
hiui they found -upon him the paper-maker's
watch, and several other trinkets
which were i ientilied as having been h'13
property. The possession of these articles
was a strong presumptiou of the prisoner's
guilt ; but it was aUu proved that 011 the
day of the murder, he had been met by a
little girl as ho came out of the forest of
Cognion. - Other corroborative evidence
turned op. lie was found guilty, and con
demned to death. After strong and reiter
ated protestations of innocence, he avowed
his crime to his confessor at the last mo
ment, as he was mounting the very steps
of the scuiTald.
rrcniicr KttEiiarcce.
The St. Paul (Minneccta) I'rcss, relates
that some months since a gent'omati" who
resides in the frontier town of Little Falls,
wrote to a banker in St. Pari for a Compe
tent female teacher for a school at 'Little
Falls, stating also that the boys were some
what unruly, and that a "school inarm
who could lick the uuruly would be accep
table. The banker, other means failing,
advertised for a teacher," when nearly a
sec re of applicants presented themselves
for the situation. Many of them were
glrta of from 15 to IS years of age, who,
after brief inspection, were rejected. At
last a tall determined looking young lady,
with rather sharp features, patented her
self lor inspection. She seemed so come
nearer that.' a 113' other applicant to filling
the bill. She was told that the salary
would be v2j per month and board. She

to hi r to read. She scanned it through
very carefully, and looking up with a smile,
cbscrvt d she xhouirnt she "could lick the
boys Eatisfactonly," and would like very
much to go. 'J he banker jucuscly remark
ed that there was. a greater inducement
than the $25 per month women were
scarce on the frontier, and in a few months
she would doubtless j et married. The
lady was incredulous, but acecpted, and
wmt on her way rejoicing. That was
; rce months ago. On the 15th of June
:;.e was married to a gentleman cf Fort
Riple)', and another teacher is wanted "at
Little Falls.
A Good Joke. A loafer, while stop
)"iv at a tavern up the country, used to
j v.; -ige about the bar and drink other peo-
! "s liquor. Not a glass could ho left
aloita for a mouietit, but he would slip and
::r.ir:k i's entire contents. Oue day a
staire driver came in, and called for a stiff
lipvn of brandy toddy.' Jehu immediate
ly r!'jyed pessum by leaving his brandy
while he stepped to the door. The bait
took. On turning he saw his glass empty,
aud exclaimed with all the diabolical hor
ror he could effect.

tbe wicked elrivcr. And down weut the

joker wus told aud he has. never drank
other people's liquor since.
Words for. Boys to Bememser.-
At a public dinner given the news-boys of
Philadelphia on Christmas, by Mr. George
W. Childs, of the PuLlic .Ledger, the fol
lowing "Words for Boys to liemcmber"
were distributed among them :
Liberty is the right to do whatever you
wish without interfering with rights uf
others.
Save .' Your-moncv and yotl will find it
. j f
one of the most useful IVienda.
Never give trouble ; to your father or
mother. . ' ' . "
Take care of your pennies anel they will
grow to be dollars. . "
Intemperance is the cause of nearly all
the trouble in this world : Beware of
strong drink.
Tho. poorest boy if he be industrious,
honest and saving, may reach the highest
honor in the land.
Never be cruel to a dumb animal ; re
member that it has no power to tell how
much it suffers.
Honesty is always the best policy.
To make you coat last, avoid using
it; to ma.ke virtues endure, use them con
tinually. ' Foot races between girls are attrac

I'll a fagabond Sagro.
An old man, of very active physiogno
my answering to the name of Jacob Wilon.t,
was brought before the police court;. His
clothes looked as if they might have been
bought second-handed in his youthful
prime, for they had suffered more from
the rubs of theworld than the proprietor
iihriseifl
"What business V
"None ; I'm a traveler."
"A vagabond, perhaps ?"
"You are . not wrong. Travelers and
vagabonds are about the same thing. The
difference is that the latter travels without
money, the former without brains."
"Where have you traveled V
"All over the continent."
"For what purpose." .
"Observation." .
"What have you observed V
"A little to commend, much to censure,
and a great deal to laugh at."
"Humph ! what do you commend Vr
"A handsome woman who will stay at
home; an eloquent preacher that will
preach short sermons; a good writer that
will not write too mm h ; and a fuol that
ha3 senseenouge to hold his tongue."
"What do you censure ?"
"A man that marries a girl for her fine
clothing; a youth who studies medicine
or law while he has the use of his hands ;
and the people who will elect a drunkard
to office."
"What do you laugh at ?"
'I laugh at a man who expects his po
sition to commend that respect which his
personal qualifications and qualities do not
merit."
He was dismissed.
Alt out Advertising-.
Everybody knows that the surest and
quickest way to accumulate a fortune is to
advertise.
Do not take down your sign in dull
tiu.es. People read newspapers all times
of the 'C;r.
.Jo nt fear to have a small advertise
ment bc-:d'i a competing one. The big
one cannot eat it no. , --
-s .. . t ..'SVri TT. T. y- Tv i v C-j '.43-
better than a short one "only once. "Brag
is a good dog, but hold -fast is better."
Plenty of advertisements, brief and to
the point, is a good rule. .We tvere all
babies once yet we made considerable
noise.
Do not advertise unless you have some
thing to advertise.
If your business is falling off advertise
and it will rapidly increase.
li your business is good advertise and
make it better.
Many a good business has failed for
a want of advertising.
Many a poor business has been made a
good paying one by liberal advertising.
The sewing-machine men leading mak
ers agreed about a year ago to give up
extensive advertising. The result has been
to decrease their business one-third. The
piano men have doubled and trcbleel teir
business by advertising.
II. T. Ilelmbold returns an income of;
C'152,205. All this comes from adver
tising. Dr. llelbold's expenses for adver
tising average over 810,000 a week. The
road to fortune is through the advertising
columns of the newspaders. "A word to
the wise is sufficient."
. There is a blithsome maiden that
lives next door to me : her eyes as black
as midnight, and handsome a3 can be; her
cheeks are full of dimples, and red as any
rose ; and then, this love of mine, too, has
got a Itoman nose ! I asked her if she'd
have me, (that was the other night,) and
this was her reply friends : "Why, Jim
my, you are tight !" Sa-s I, "I know I
have, love, a board a little wine, but that
is not the question will j"ou, or not, be
mine?" And then she put her face, friends,
asnerr mine a she could, and with the
sweetest smiles, friend, sa'd simply that she
would escort me to the door if I was
ready to depart. And thus it was the
girl next door declined my hand and
heart.
Don't be discouraged if occasionally
you slip down by the way, and others tread
over you a little. In other words, don't
let a failure or two dishearten -ou ; acci
dents will happen, miscalculations will

differently from our expectations, and we
may be sufferers. It is worth while to re
member that fortune is like tlie skieS in
the month of April, sometimes cloudy,
and sometimes clear and favorable, and it
would be folly to despair again in seeking
the sun because to day is stormy, so i is
unwise to sink into despondency when for
tune frowns, Mncoyin the common course
of things, she may be expected to smile
again.
