Teddy got along tolerably well for the
first day or two, for he had the scraps
of the wedding feast to eat, but when he
had- to depend on himself he made a
Bony mess of it, and ere a week was
past he had burnt his fingers ancl scalded
his toes, cracked the satve, broke the
dishes and. spilt the ,gravy, flour and
molasses over the ftoor. His porridge
was either toe thick or too thin, minus
the ealt, ser else salt as brine - His
. coffee was like muddy -water, a.ncl his
toast about as eatable as scorched bass-
wood chips. The bacon and eggs were
never exactly right, and when he esSa3-

it was just like leather. He roasted a
chicken, and for -got, as he said,, to "-turn

But the blood of the O'Brians was.
roused, and he was bound,not to give
up yet, though, truth to tell, he wee
aick'ettough of the undertaking. Then,
in spite of the fire, the pipe and the
books he began to feel very lonely, and
concluded that he must have some living
thing for company. First he thought ef
a cat, but that was an old maid's pet; a
dog? no ! He never ,liked clogs since

of it, said he to himself, I saw a beauti-

only a, fine litter of pigs that evening,
•but a very agreeable olcl man in the per-

pride 4n showing him over his garden
and pointing out the beauty of some nice

How One Man Succeeded. .
• Norwich, N. Y., is a small inland
town, two hundred and. fifty miles from
the seaboard, and, mita within the last
four years, with no railroad facilities
nearer than thirty miles; and yet it has
one of the largest hammer factories in
the world—a factory' -which turns out,
on an average, sixty dozen steel hammers
daily, largely supplying the market in
our own land, 'and filling orders to South
America, Japan. China, Australia, in
short, to all parts of the earth.
How thisesuccess has been achieved
and: this branch of business builded up,
without advertising or even employing
an agent, under the disadvantages of
this, until recently, remote interior
town, is a matter we conceive well wor-
thy the attention of all who are interest-
ed'in the welfare of the working men of
our country.
•
We will let the originator and head of
the establishment, David Maydole, tefl
his own story; perhaps it will give us the
secret.
" Peo le have said to me a great many
times, ow lucky you have been, Mr.
Maydole.' • I tell them there has been no
luck about it. God has greatly prosper-
ed ma, but I owe nothing to chance.
never bet, nor gambled, nor speculated
in my life, nor had a dollar that: I did
not give Lair returns for. My father
died when I was a child, my mother was
poorand in a new country e and Thad to
shift for Myself pretty early.. When I
was fifteen years old I left my home in
-Courtland county and walked/ twenty
miles to Oxford,' through the snow in
February, with all I had in the world
done up, in a pocket handkerchief, and
entered a blacksmith shop as an appren-
tice. I w-orked.faithfully six -years for
my victuals and 'clothes, and when I got
through I had only my freedem suit, and
a poor one at that, but I didn't owe a
man --a dollar, I had no lost time to make
up, and I was -master of my trade. I
knew it in all its branches, not only in
common blacksmithing, but in
-}truton.,
wrighting and m malting and itiendm. g
tools. '`;', •

After I had served out my time I
went to nianufactuting edged -tools, and.
learned. to work steel to advantage. 'Af-
ter six e'rears of this work I came beltTor-
wich and.opened a shop. Oecasionally I
made a hammer fer a carpenter. While
the.lbtPtist church Was being blinded! a
&lead of six men came down from Oneida
to work on it. One of thern lost his
hammer and came to' get me to make
hien one. I did BO, and the laextalay the
other five came aneveryevery one wanted a
hammier. Then the bosseame and want-
ed two. He asked- me to make them a
little better -than those: forellis men.
told. him I couldn't make them any .bet-
ter, but would do as well as I could. He
took them up to the hardware store and
asked them why they didn't sell such
hammers as those? They said they were
not to be .had in the market. Why,
then, don't you. get your man Maydede
_here here to make you some?' They
'came to me for a couple of dozen and
took them to NOV York. to a hardware
merchant in Nassau Street. Be liked •
them, only was afraid the price was so
high that they wouldn't Sell, but finally
sent back an order, for t-wenty dozen
more. That about swamped me at the
time, but I got a man to help me, opened
another fire and soon filled it. When
other orders came in, as they did fast
after that, I built extra forges, invented
a blockfor shaping the hammers on,
machinery for grinding, polishing, turn-
ing the handles, making the wedges, etc.,
but have never been able, in twenty-five
years, to catch up with my orders but
once."
The above is in substance Mr. May -
dole's story. ...I believe that every man
who reads it will agree that the secret of •
of his sucless is a very open•one.
-
In the first place; he thorougly master-
ed his trade. Several of the appren-
tices in the shop with me, after working
a year or two, quit and went to work. for
wages. They used to say that I was a
fool to serve out my whole time, but I
was bound to become perfeetty acquaint-
ed with my basiniess, and held On. --Every
one of those men are working for wages
to this day, they never succeeded, be -
caeca) they but half learned their trade."
His early work was with steel, and he
set hiraself to learn all he cOuld.itbout it.
The knowledge he gained at that time by
experimenting and study has been in. -
valuable to hini ever since. He relates
Many amusing experiences of detecting
and defeating frauds attempted' on him,
especially while in the edge -tool busi-
ness.
. " It is amazing what tricks. even sia
called good menwill play with warrant-
ed tools, and what lies they will tell to
make you take them back. One day a
min whom had never „seen before
brought me an -ax badly broken. He
was chopping tire -wood, he said, good
clean stuff, when the axe gave out, and
he ;Wanted another, according to the war-
rant. • .
" said. I, my friend, yeti have
told me your story, and-aI know by the
place and shape of the' break that you
haven't- told the truth;' and then
explained to him the only possible •
way he ever broke the axe in that man-
ner. It was not a fair tise of the -tool,
and I refused to take it hack.
" When I was gone he said ter my
foreman, who was standing -by, .` That is
exactly it, but how in the world did he
'keiew it ?' r
"He has had so many scoundrels like
you to deal with that he has learned your
tricke,' wee the answer."
This perfect acquaintance with all the
details of his business enables him . at
once to discover a failure on the part of
his men, and if need be, instruct them;
and goes far to secure that respect which
they .all entertainfor him.
Hellas always closely attended to his
busieess.
• "During the last of my apprentice-
ship, and for years after, there .were
three places in one of which you could
always". find me in the week ; in my
shop, at table, or in bed. For weeks to-
gether I have stood at the anvil fifteen
hours out of the twenty-four. Soon
after I started business for myself I took
a partner. We had learned our trade
together, and I knew him well. He was
a good workman and very fast. People
always Said he would succeed, he could
get thrtugh so much work - m a day.
They said I was too particular to get
along well. We worked together about
eighteen months. He had no bed habits-,
but was out ef the shop a great deal.
His apron lay too much on the anvil. At
last I torgum, that either he must stay
in the shop more or I should leave it. • I
left him, and he is not worth so much
now as on the day we dissolved partner-
ship."
Ile,• -has always made a thoroughly
good article.
His motto has been, he says, to excel,
and not to undersell, and it is a fact Oat
his hamniers have always cost more at
wholesale. -.than those of most makers at
retail, yet. they have taken their place
at the head of the trade. He gainecl
custom at first, by making eo superior a
tool that men wanted. it at whatever .
price, and he keeps and extends it th this
:day by the same means and by nb other.
His workmen know that no shams will
be allowed, and that good, rather than
rapid work will secure commendation.
That they may have as little temptation
as possible to slight their work, the3 are
paidby the day, never by the piece.
He never lets a hammer bear his name
unless it is as perfect as skilled labor can
make it, J. Tveryone with a flaw, even so
slight that only the most -practiced eye
can detea it, is starved with an assum-
ed trade mark and Sold at a lower price
as an inferior article.
In later years he never warrants: for
he says that in doing this you must net
only warrant the tool but also the man
that uses it, but if any mistake has been
been made, and he becomes satisfied that
an inferior article has been sent out, he
at once rectifies the error at whatever
cost. •
He understands how to manage his
men and takes care of them. "You
can hire," he says, any number of cal-
penters, because the trade is a common
one, but if I want a goodhammer-maker
I must educate him, and when I have
done it, I make it an object for him to
stay with inc."
The wages are not large for skilled la-
bor,- but they are' sure. For twenty-five
years, the men have been paid without a
single exception on the tenth of every
month, or if this comes on- Sunday, on
the ninth. -
He encourages his men to put 'their
savings into a house and lot. As a re -
'suit, more than a third live in their own.
houses, and have homes many of them as
pleasant as can be found in the country.
If one of his regular hands falls sick

Tama's' Eeleetrie Oil,
WORTH TEN TIMES ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD. - DO YOU
KNOW ANYTICLIG OF IT ? IF' NOT, IT IS
TIME YOU DID- - •
There are but few preparations of medicine
which have withstood the impartial judgment of
the people for any great length of time. One of
these is THOMAS' Erne -Titre One purely a prepar-
ation of six of some of the best oils that are known,
each one possessing virtues of its own. Scientific
physicians know that medicines -may be formed of.
eeveral ingredients in certain fixed proportions of
greater power, and producing effects which could
never result from -the use of any one of them, or in
dilferenecambinations. Thus in the preparation
of this oil a chemical change takes place, forming
a compound which could'not by any possibility be
-made from any other combination or proportions
of the same ingredients, or any other ingredients,
and entirely different front anything ever before
made, one which produces the raost astonishing re-
sults, and having a wider range of application
than any medicine ever before discovered. It con-
tains no alcohel or other 'volatile liquids, conse-
quently loges nothing by evaporation. Wherever
applied you get the benefit of every drop; whereas
with other preparations nearly all the alcohol is
lost in that way, and you get only the small quan-
tity of oils which they may contain.
