A Merchant's Story.
A member of a large mercantile firm re
cently gave a little bit of his experience in
this wise ;
was seventeen years old when I — left the
country-store I had tended for three years,
and came to Boston in search of a Ow.—
Anxious, of course to appear to the best ad-
vantage, I spent an unusual amount of time
and solicitude upon my toilet; and when
it was completed, I surveyed my reflection
in the glass with no little satisfaction; glanc
ing lastly and most approvingly upon a seal
ring which embellished my little finger, and
my cane, a very fine affair, which I had
purchased with direct reference to this occa
sion. My first day's experience was not en
couraging; I traversed street after at' eet—up
one side and down on the other-- without
success. 1 fancied, toward the last, the
clerks all knew my business the moment
I entered the door, and they winked Ulna
tnredly at my discomfiture as I passed out.
But nature endowed me with a good degree
of persistency, and the next day I 'started a •
gain. Toward noon I entered a store where
an elderly gentleman stood talking with a la
dy by the door. I waited till the visitor .bad
left the store, and then stated my errand.
'No sir,' was the answer, given in a peculiar
ly crisp and decided manner. Possibly I
looked the discouragement I began to feel ;
for he added, in a kindlier tone, "Are you
good at taking a hint 7 11 '1 don't know,'
answered I while my face flushed painfully.
'What I wish to say is this,' said he, smiling
at my embarrassment; 'if I were in want of
a clerk, I would not employ a young man
who came seeking employment with a flashy
ring on his finger and swinging a fancy cane.
For a moment mortified vanity struggled a
gainst 'common sense, but sense got the vic
tory, and I replied—with rather a shaky
voice, I'm afraid—'l'm very much obliged
to you,' and then beat a hasty retreat. As
soon as I got out of sight, I slipped the ring
into my pocket, and walked rapidly to the
Worcester depot, I left the cane in charge
of the baggage-master, 'until called for.' It
is there now, for aught I know. At• any
rate, I never called for it. That afternoon
I obtained a situation with the firm of which
I atu now a partner. Bow much my un
fortunate finery had injures; my prospects
the previous day I shell never know; but I
never think of the old gentleman and • his
plain dealing without feeling, as I told him
at the time, very much obliged to him.'
MANNzus.—There is nothing vvhiob adds
so lunch to a young man's success in life—
next to honesty of purpose—as the practice
of good manners. A polite man will show
good breeding wherever he goes—on the
sidewalks,. in the buggy, as well as in,your
parlor. If you meet a man who refuses to
give you half the road, or to turn out'on the
sidewalk, you may class him as a man with
no sense of .justice in his soul. When we
speak of polite men we do not wish to. be
derstood as referriog to one who bows low
and takes off his bat to ladies and men of po-
sition, and turns away from the poor man ;
bat we mean the honest face—the man who
always carries a smile on his countenance,
and who never turns his face away from the
poor; we mean the man who has a kind sal
utation when he meets you in the morning,
and a pleasant' 'good night' in the evening;
a man whose face is alWays void of offence.
Such a man is bound to succeed—such a one
will find friends ? Young men, be polite,

'TWO SOUTHERN GRAVES
The following story is from the correspon
dence of the Boston Traveler, descriptive of
the cemetery at Newborn, N. 0. The young
lady named was the daughter of Prof. Calvin
Cutter, author of several work - s7on physiolo
gy: _
lAt the end of the rows-are two graves, of
which uncommon °are has been takes, and
to which our attention was called by the keep
er. They bear the following touehing in
scriptions :
No: 1744.
21 MASBAOHUSETTS.
BETROTHED TO 0. E. Q.
(The name - is not given on the board, but
we learned that it was a member of Company
E, of that ,llegiment
The other reads as follows :
MISS CARRIE E. CUTTER,
BETROTHED To No, 1744. .
BURIED AT HIS SIDE BY HER OWN
REQUEST.
Probably many in the old 21st will know
the circumstances and tell the story of these
two lovers, but the inscription on their head
boards is all we know of their life of love or
devotion at death. But other incidents we
do know that are full of interest - to us, and
we doubt not to your readers; which are re•
called as we stand by the flag staff and read
over the familiar names an the white boards
befose us: .Follijamba, 10th Conn.' Ah,
yes, that is the very grave they told us about,
and, this is the
SAD STORY OT LOVE
they told us : 'The soldier lying in that
grave was reared by kind parents in Hart
ford, and at the age of twenty—an honest,
intelligent young man—ho went to New Ha
ven. There he became acquainted with a
young lady by the name of Cutter, - who name
to visit her brother, then in college. They
became engaged to be married, and all was
sunshine in the path of life. But the re
bellion came, and she returned to her home
in Harlem. to wait for his return from the
war, to which he was determined to go. Two
• crespoodenee-and—two--fu-r1
-cemented-their affection, until they felt that.
Aro — earthly-obstacle-could-come-be twee n-t hem
and the . sweet joys of life in store for them.
But to the loving heart in Harlem there
ono day came a report that her betrothed was
killed. In wild suspense she waited for his
letters, but none came. Her father wrote
to the Colonel and to the Captain. They
could only say he was 'missing.' With no
thought of money or trouble,'or care, the old
grey-headed father, whose daughter, since
the death of his eon, was his all, searched
unceasingly (or some clue to the missing one.,
oven venturing beyond the lines of the ene
my. She, with that sublime fortitude which
only a woman can command when trouble
comes, and with that devotion which makes
a woman's love so pure and sacred, shared
the dangers and fatigue of a two years'
search, knowing nothing, caring for nothing,
unless it concerned her lover. Finally his
grave was found in the woods near where the
iPth once formed a skirmish line, and a little
head board bearing his name, carved in crook
ed lines with a pen-knife, marked his resting
place. Word was sent to the mourners, and
the nest conveyance brought them to the
spot. For a while the daughter sat in the
carriage, and would not get out, not daring
to trust herself within view of the spot where
lay-the dearest form she ever knew. -Come,
Nellie,' said the old man, and with a forced
calmness he assisted his daughter from the
carriage. Going to the grave she walked
around it—read slowly the inscription—and
then folding her arms across her breast, she
exclaimed, -Cth Charley,' and fell upon the
grave a corpse. The old man alone in this
world of grief, was led away by the driver, a
maniac. Today, in the asylum at. New York,
he is constantly inquiring in his delirium
why his daughter is not married. Sad, sad
tale. Almost too tragic to believe, yet hun
dreds attest its truth. Alas! how many such
incidents there have been since the war, that
will never be recorded.
TOE MANAGING WOMAN.—The managing
women is a pearl among women; she is one
of the prizes in the great lottery of life, and
the man who draws her may rejoice for the
balance of his days. Better than riches,
she is a fortuue in herself—a gold mine
never Sailing in its yield—a spring of pleas
ant warera, whose banks are fringed with
moss and flowers, when all around ie bleach
ed white with sterile send. The managing
woman can do anything; and she does every.
thing well. Perceptive and executive, of
quick sight and steady hand, she always
knows exactly what is wanting, and supplies
the deficiency with a tact and cleverness
peculiar to herself. She knows the capabili
ties of persons as well as things, for she• has
an infinite knowledge of character. The man
aging woman, if not always patient, is always
energetic, and can never be disappointed into
inaction. Though she has to teach the same
thing over and over again and
_though she
finds her duties dense as box-wood, and
hands inefficient , as fishes' fine, still she is
never weary of her vocation of arranging and
ordering, and never less than hopeful of a
favorable result.
The line of conduct, chosen by a young
man during the five years from fifteen to
twenty, will, almost every instance, determine
his character in after life. As he is then care
ful or careless, prudent or imprudent, indus
trious or indolent, truthful or dissimulating
inteligent or Ignorant, temperate or dissolute,
so will he be in after years, and it needs no
prophet to cast his horoscope, or calculate his
chance in life.
A party of young fellows found fault with
the ' butter o n a boardiog•house table
'What is the matter with it ?' inquired the
mistress. 'Just you ask it,' said one, 'it is
old enough to speak for
What a Price.
'What is the value of this estate ?' said a
gentleman to another with whom be was-' ,
riding, as they passed a fine mansion sur
rounded by fair and fertile fields.
'I don't know how much it is valued at,
I know what it cost its late possessor.
"How mucGT
'Hie soul.'
• A solemn- pause followed this brief answer,
for the ioquirer bad not sought first the king
dom of God and His righteousness.
The former owner referred to, was the eon
of a pions laboring man. Early in life he
professed faith in Christ, and he soon ob
tained a subordinate position in a mercantile
establishment in this city. He continued
to maintain a reputable religious profession
till be became a partner in the firm. Labors
increased. lie gave less attention to Tagil*
and more to his business, and the cares of
the world choked the word.
Ere he_became old be was so exceedingly
rioh in money, but poor and miserly in soul,
that none who knew him would have sus
pected that he had ever borne the' snored
name of Him who said, 'lt is more blessed to
give than to receive.'
At length he purchased the large landed
estate referred to, built a costly mansion,
sickened and died. Just before he died, he
remarked, 'My prosperity has been my ruin.'
Oh, what a price for which tobarter away
immortal joy and everlasting life, yet—h-ow
many'do it.'— Christian at Work.
MENTAL ACTIVITY.--If the water run
neth, it holdeth clear, sweet and fresh, but
stagnation turneth it into a noisome puddle.
If the air be sunned by the winds, it is pure
and wholesome, but froth being shut up it"
groweth thick and putrid. If metals be em
ployed, they abide smooth and•splendid; but
lay them up and they soon contrhot rust—
If the earth is labored with oulture, it yield
eth corn, but lying neglected, it will be over
grown with bushes and thistles,. and the
better the soil is, the ranker weeds it will
produce. All nature is upheld in - its being,
order, and Ah‘chs,b_y_constant-egitationtevety
creature. is incessantly employed in action
eonfortnable to its desigt-red—use;--In—like-
manner, the preservation and improvement
of the faculties depend on their constant ex
ercise. ' To it God has annexed the best and
most desirable reward—success to our under
takings, wealth, honor, wisdom, virtue, and
salvation.
AIMLESS AMICATION.—Bore is the rich
man's son who has been educated at great
expense and pains, and who has graduated
from college, and has come out a gentleman.
He has studied not with a view to fitting
himself for any avocation in life but with a
view of being a gentleman. He reads not
for the sake of knowing anything, but for
the sake of being a gentleman. Soon his
father breaks down; and be, when he is a.
bout twentyfive years old, finds himself a
poor 'man's son, and dependent on his own
exertions. And be says to himself, 'What
shall I do for a - living ?' - He asks his feet,
and his feet say, 'I do not know.' He asks
his head, and it says,' l l never learned any
thing about , a living.' There is
,but one
man that can befriend this poor wretch, and
that is the sexton. Could anything be more
useless than such a person? Clan there be
anything more pitiable than such histories?
And yet they are happening every day.
RICIIES.—The moo with good, firm healyb
is rich.
Bo is the man with a oloar oonseience.
So is the parent of vigorous, happy obil
dren.
So is the editor of a good paper, with a
big subscription list.
So is the clergyman whose coat the little
children of the parish plank, as he passes
them at their play.
So is, that wife who has the whole heart of
a good husband.
So is the maiden whose horizon is not
bounded by tbo 'coming man,' but who has
a purpose in life, whether she ever meet him
or not. ,
So is the young man who, laying his hand
on his heart, oan say t have treated every
woman I over taw as I should wish my sis
ter treated by other men.
So is the little child who goes I 3 sleep
with a kiss on itei lips, and for whose waking
a blessing waiis.—Ledger.
WHAT NEST.--A gentleman riding near
the city overtook a well dressed young man,
and invited him to a seat in his carriage.
'What,' said the gentleman to the young
stranger, 'are your plans for the future ?'
am a clerk, said the young man, 'and
my hope is to succeed, and to got into busi
ness for myself.'
• 'And what next.?' said the gentleman.
'Why I intend to marry, and. to set up an
establishment of my own, said the youth.
'And what next ?
'lt is the lot of all. to die, and I of course
cannot escape, 'replied the young man.
'And what next ?' once more inquired the
gentleman, but the young man had no answer
to wake; be bad no purpose that reached bo
oed. the present life. flow many' young
men are is precisely the same condition l
Whatpertaina to the world tot coma has no
place in all their plans.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Bth, 1869.
Mr. Editor. —This letter will go through
direct by the .Pacific Railroad mil will try
and give' you an idea of the celebration of its
completion here.
No brighter day ever 'dawned upon San
Francisco than that of May Bth.. It seamed
as if all nature joined in the grand jubilee of
San Francisco upon the Completion- of the
great work in which so much interest hat
been felt on - loth aides of the Continent.-;-
All kinds of business were suspended and Ait
an early hour the etroets were, •thronged.-- 7
There seemed to be'a general disposition to
decorate, and public and private 'henget vied
with each other in the display of Alga. and
bunting, while the vessels in the harbor and
along the wharves were gaily decorated with
all the flags and Signals in their lookers.
It had been arranged by .Governor Stan
ford to announce to ns the completion of our
part of the road and simultaneously with the
driving down of the last spike the electric
spark was made to communicate with the
great guns in_onr harbor. Eaoh.blow of Elie
sledge=hammer - upon — the - spike - was echoed
by the click of the telegraphic: - instruments
The wires were connected with the City Hall,
and the big bell pealed-out right merrily with
every stroke of the hammer 800 miles away.

the order in which they moved. All trades
and professions were represented. A striking

material was drawn through the streets by
twenty-four gray horses—weighing almost as
many tons. Hundreds of other features and
inscriptions prominent and amusing might
be mentioned.
The literary exercises were of the highest
order and were presided over by his Honor,
the Mayor, who after a few brief remarks in
troduced a celebrated singer from Scotland.
He sang The Star Spangled Banner in a mag
nificent style, the vast audience
° joining in
the chorus. The applause which followed
was deafening and he was obliged to sing it
again. After the song the poet was pre.
sented who delivered in excellent style the
following, introducing it by this quotation
from Whittier :
"I bear the tramp of pioneers,
Of nations yet to be,
The #rst low wash of waves where soon
Shall roll a human sea."
Through toil-built mountain gates,
We come, o , Sister States!
With h ymns of praise;
Where white Sierras rise,
Where green plains face the skies,
We grasp the victor's prize
To crown our days !
The wild grand march is done !
The guarded ways ate won
From sea to sea
We see His mighty hand
Now clasp this iron band
To grace 9nr matchless land
Where all is free!
Glatt be the song we Bing!
Columbia e Harp we airing
With iron chords ;
Swift shall grand music sweep,
Round thrones beyond the deep,
Till tyrants kneel and weep,
Or grasp their swords !
Our Noifon pure and free,
Give thanks, 0 God to Thee,.
For wisdom taught!
No grim war-harness,mars,
Not one slave fetter scars
These iron, music bars
Her eons )ave wrought !
Ogle of our judges -followed in an oration
which was in 'keeping with the event we cel
ebrated.
In the evening the city was brilliantly il
luminated and the heavens ablaze with fly
ing rockets.
So you see we have celebrated to a man
this—great enterprise—the greatest in this
great age—where a traveler at the Capitol of
Maine can step into a car and in eight days
be set down io the Capitol of California.—
Over the completicike of this grand national
work we can afford to be jubilant. The large
brains which conceived and pushedlorward
this enterprisci deserves the thanks of the na

glory of the people. Through trials and ad
