I.oW SITE, SOT DOWN ON 'UIM
After making inquiriesof every per.
sou they met, no matter if pedestrian
were ten feet apart, old Mr. and Mrs.
Jouoa reached the Pennsylvania rail-
way depot, the other day, in good order
and were shown into the waiting -room;.
They did not enter, however, until. the
old man read the, sign over the door
and remarked
"Waiting -room, eh? Wonder whet
she's waitiug for ? Well, we can wait
as long as the room oau—eh, 'Nancy ?"
"" 1 told you," sherepliecl, as she de
posited her heavy satchel on one of the
wooden sofas, "I told you tneee all you
c iula and say as little as possible."
" That's Nil at I'm doing," he dread -
cal, as he drew his ooat-tails right and
left and backed up the red-hot molal
stove. IIe had become interested in
rr ailing, " Broad gauge, double tt'aek—
three hours' time saved to Now York,"
wheal the back of hie moat began rapidly
fading to brindle brown, and several
parties called out in a warning way.
He leaped away, pulling his pants atvay
from his legs, and the old hady palled
him down beside liar, and huur'.toly
whist end :
" If you were a boy I'd spank you
good and wand !, The book of your
coat is failing right nut, and everybody
is laughing !" '
" It's no such thing—I haie't laugh
ing !"he snapped, as he wiggled around.
"How dict 1 kuow therm was any File
in the stove ? How could 1 sen my
back ?"
In n few moments tho troubled wa-
ters settled down. The old lady was
hunting for her snuff-box, and the old
man was sticking four or five teeth
into an apple, when he couipIaceutly
retnat'ked :
" 1'n1 going to git,this coat off and
biloli at the moral. injnries."
"" You keep still 1" 'she wal'uetl.
"You'd make a nice spectacle here in
your skirt sleeves, wouldn't you ?"
“ H in't this a free country ?"
" You keep rl ht still 1"
That settled that. It wart all of ten
minutes before he suddenly announced:
" 1Vhou the old man Beanies was
here last smniner he gnt the best hinny
sausage he ever stuck his month into,
and I'm going out to fiud the place
and buy one."
" You won't do any such thing ; you
are going to stay right here and keep
•L your Lead shut!"
" I am, am I ?"
" YOS, you are 1"
And that settled that. HE leaned
Bask, sighing like the last turn of a big
• $v -wheel, and the old woman was al-
) n"ost dozing whoa he made a move that
startled her. Ho was trying to scratch
the sole of his left foot with the toe of

"Ont of my first lessons," said,bIr.
Sturgis, the eminent merchant, "was
in 1818, when I was eleven years old.
My grandfather, had a fine flock of
sheer, which were carefully tended
daring -the war of those tithes. I was
the shepherd bay, and my business
was to watch the sheep in the fields.
A boy who was more fond of hie book
than of the sheep was sent with hie,
while he lay under the tree and read.
1 did not like that, and finally, went
to my grandfather and complained. of
it. I shall never forget the kind smile
of the old gentleman as he said :
"Never mind, Jonathan, my boy ; if
you, watch the sheep, you will have
the sheep."
""What does grandfather mean by
HUW TilO1TAS h 'TRAYED HIM-

l then Thanes drove np to deliver
the usual quart of mixture, the gentle-
man of the house kindly inquired : •
"Thomas, how many quarts of milk
do von deliver ?"
"Ninety-one, sir."
"And how many cows have you ?"
"Nine, sir."
• The gen•tletnan made some %remarI's
about an early spring, resumption of
specie payetnent, the state of the
roads; and then asked :
"Say, Thomas, how much, milk per
day do your cows average ?
"Seven quarts, sir."
"Ah ! um 1" said the gentletnan, as
he moved off."'
Thomas looked after him, scratching
his head, and all at once grew pals, as
he pulled out a short pencil and began
to fi'aure ou the wagon cover.
"Nine cows is nine, and I set down
seven quarts under the eows,end Mul-
tiply. That's sixty-three qnarts of
milk. ''I told Win I sold ninety -.cue.
quarts per day.. Sixty-three from
ninety-one leaves.twenty-eight, none to
that," I said to myself. 'I don't ex
pent to 'have sheep.' sly desires were
moderate — a fine buck worth one
hundred dollars. I mould not exa3tly
snake out in my ownmind what it was,
but I had great confidence in him, for
he was a judge, and had been in Con-
gress in 'Washington's time ; so. I con-
cluded that it was all right, and went
back contenedly to the thmep. After I
got into the field I could not keep his
words of my head. Then I thought of
Snuday's lesson : "Thou hast been
faithful over a few things, I will make
thea ruler over many things.' I began
to see through it. Never yon mind
who neglects his duty , be you faithful
and you will have your reward.
"I received a seonnd lesson soon af-
ter 1 came to New York as a clerk to
the late Lyman Reed. A merchant
from Ohio, who knew .me, came to buy
goods, and said, "Itake yourself so
useful that they cannot do withnnt
you." I took his meaning quicker
than I did that of my grandfather.
"Well, I worsted upon these two
ideas until Mr. steed offered me a part-
nership in the business. The fir -t
morning after the partnership was
made 'known, Mr. James Geery, the
old tea merchant, called in to congra-
tulate me, and said : "You're all right
now. I have only one word of advice
to give yon : Be careful. whom you walk
the streets with." That was lesson
number three.
"And what valuable lessons' they
aro!
"Fidelity in all things ; do:your best
for your employers ; carefulness about
your;associates.' • .
Let everybody take these lessons
home and study them. They are
the foundation -stone of character and
honorable success.
