" I've been a chasin' a birch rod round my father," was the snarling re- ply. —A little Vermont girl called at a drug store, and said: " My mother wants ten cents' worth of jumps." This astonished the clerk. The • child insist- ed that it M as jumps she had been sent for ; but returned tc : her mother for further instructions. Very soon she carne back, and said it was hops that she wanted. —"Digby, will you take some of this butter?"

The New York correspondent of the Boston Jotcrncal writes :: One can count on his ten fingers the heavy merchants that have stood unmoved during a quar- ter of a century. The heaviest houses topple down and the richest men pass out of . sight. But there is a class of men who began small, had a specialty, always sold the exact article they pro- fessed, kept grubbing on from year to year, and waited for- fortune till she chose to appear One of the heaviest paler houses in New York was begun by a man who was a rag -picker. He began in the smallest possible way. When he -.had only a small basketful he assorted them fairly and honestly. He soon got the confidence of the trade. His rags were always the quality that he repre- sented ; and he walked over the course, always making progress, always making money. In his immense warehouse to- day buyers are sure to find when they get home the exact article they purchased. Some years ago a man set up a little cigar store. His specialty was that he would not keep a domestic cigar on his shelves. The article that he _ sold was invariably good., and he made a fortune. There are - half a dozen old caterers in New York. They are fifty and sixty years old. Two or three of them. are in cellars or in small rooms. The floor is sanded ; the seats are without backs the tables are with- out cloths ,, the head of the house waits on his customers ; coat off, white apron round his waist, the perspiration on his forehead ;: he broils and stews and fries for his customers. Everything about the room is just as it was thirty years ago. In these little dens from twelve to two one cannot sit or stand. for the crowd. The first merchants in New York fill the place. Chops, ' beefsteaks, hams, Eng- lish mutton, are specialties. The man who waits on these clerks and merchants could buy a house on Fifth Avenue and live m it if he wanted to. Overcrowded Callings. There usually comes a period when all professions and callings are overcrowded, and atthe present time, -according to all accounts, the supply-- of sempstresses and clerks is far in excess of the de- mand. The consequence is that both these classes find a difficulty in making a living. Probably it is the progress of education that has caused a rush upon what were .formerly styled " genteel" callings. Any man who can hold a pen fancies he can be a clerk, just as any woman who can sew imagines she can make a comfortable living as a milliner. The consequence is that both these call- ings ase overcrowded by people who earn with difoulty a scanty wage, while they might live comfortably and free from anxiety as domestic servants. If you discharge a common clerk, or are compelled to get rid of an ordinary needlewoman, yon can $1l their places twenty times over within the next hour. But with regard to a compositor, a tele- graph elebaph worker, a carpenter, a housemaid, a kitchenmaid, a cook, a groom, or skill- ed craftsmen- of any description, the re- sult is very different: If every one were to be: taught some craft in his youth, if education were more adapted for the station people are expected to fill in. after life, this overcrowding of various callings might, to a certain extent, be prevented. There is no reason what- ever that among the many accpmplish- ments that are nowadays taught at schools the acquirement of a useful craft of some kind should not be included. It is true the learner might never eeventual- ly uire to make use of it, but it _nig prove of the greatest assistance to him. At any rate, a little superfluous knowledge can do harn'i to one. No gentleman would be any the being able to shoe � would lose herorse or tedig- a house, and no lady nity by being able to .demonstrate prac- tically to her maids that a fire is not properly laid or that a step is -ill -cleaned. This kind of thing is beginning be understood, and the earnest and thorough manner in. which some ladies lately went through every description of kitehen drudgery at the School of Cookery augurs well for the Tutu n waltz and of perfection, the " girl who can is not make melted butter eauailyo le magna. so far distant as many. P p holiest If people were less afraidf gooy ,manual work, of wholesome, rid of manual labor, if they would only geti. genteel" ab- surd notions with regard tohearhear occupations, we would p y of much less about the overcrowding callings than we do in the present day. Holland then a ct,mmon thing with young men—and was afterward a iner- chaat,in Barcelona. Henries wAs a man of enius. He struok out the novel idea of issuing what are now et -lied circular notes,": by which travelers, on deposit- ing money with a banker, may procure orders to the amount, payable according to convenience, at a great number of banking establishments abroad --each circular note being, d in fact, a bill • on London. Appreciated as these notes now are, it seems strange that the in- vention of Mie Herries was looked so doubtfully upon, that he was led to separate himself from his previous con- nections, and, with the aid of some friends, to establish .a bank on a new footing in I St. James street, 1772. Lat- terly, as is well known, Coutts & Co. have taken a peculiarly prominent part in the issue of circular. notes ; the suc- cess of which has fully verified the an- ticipations of their projector, Mr. Her- ries.—Chanabers's Joutnal. Wisdom in . ,Charity Giving, Some say that they must curtail in ex- penditure in order te, have money to be- stow in charity. This is wise .if it be wisely done, But can money be better bestowed in charity than in the • pur- chase of labor ? A great point is to ar- range our charities so that they shall neither wound nor lower the self-respect of • the recipients. There are manufac- turers who are running their mills at- a loss because of the large suffering that would. ensue from stoppage. This is not business, it is charity. The loss is so much money given to the poor. But it is given in the least offensive- way. It is given in connection with regular . life, with stated work, with industrious hab- its, and in many cases to the recipient wears the aspect of wages, so that he is not demoralized thereby. Many a wo- man would not consider twenty, or fifty, or five hundred dollars an enormous sum to contribute for women and men who were starving in her neighborhood. Let her, then, distribute it so far as possible iu the form of reward bestowed for ser- vice rendered, and thus prevent starva- tionand suffering, heal the feud between rich and poor, and avert social confusion and dismay. And what is applicable to the rich may also be applicable to those who are hov- `ering on the border -land' of wealth. Such a winter as is foretold might be doubly a "means of grace" to many women ; to those, for instance, who are a little doubtful as to whether it would be pru- dent to " keep help," or to add another servant to the household staff, but who would exceedingly enjoy and improve the leisure which such assistance would per- mit. Let charity give to them and to some needy woman the benefit of the doubt, and let the overburdened house- wife rest from her labors andrefresh her- self with social pleasures, with out -door exercise, with family diversion, with reading and music and all possible grati- fication of tasteland enlargement of cul- ture, solacing iperself continually with the added satisfaction of knowing that in ministering also to her own joys, she is ministering also to the more impera- tive wants and the greater need of a poorer and mare helpless woman.=Gait Hamilton. • AWORD TO THE WISE IS SUFFICIENT.
