'A SINGULAR ADVENTURE.
=Once
-upon a time a traveler stepped into h
stage coach. He was a young Man
starting in life. He found six ; passen-
gers about hitch, all gray'lreaded Nand
extremely aged 'men. The youngest
-appeared:to have seen at least] eighty
winters. Our,young traveler, struck
with the singularly Mild and yhappy as-
>'pect which distinguished all his fellow
passengers, detertained to ascertain the
Secret of a long life and the art of mak-
ing old age 0u -del table: He addressed'
the one apparently the -eldest, who told
. him he had always led ea regular and
abstemious life, eating vegetables and•
drinking water. The yeung.m:an was
rather c.aunted at this,' -riasmuch as he
liked thegood thing& of this life. He
adclresSed the second, =wbo astonished.'
Bim by saying he .diad always eaten
roast beef and.gone,. one� to bed regularly
fuddled for the last seventy years, add-
ing, all depended on res- larity. The
third had prolonged his days by never
seeking to accept office ;" the fourth by
reeolt telylabstainrnb-:.from all political
and re` teui s"- 'controversies and the
fifth by& going to bed at sunset and ris-
ing at dawn: The sixth was apparent-
ly nmi younger than the other five—
ills hair was less grey' and there .was
more of it—a pl icicl smile, denoting a
perfectly easy conscience; *mantled his
face, and liis; voice was jocund and
strong. They were .all surprised to
learn that he was by, ten yeai. S the old
est man in .the ;coach.: " How was it
that you have Preserved the freshness
of 'life !" exclaimed our young traveler.
n
The old gentleman'. qnsiver-
od the young traveler by .saying : "I
have drank water and wine --I- have
+eaten meat and vegetables -I have dab -
'bled ' in politic . and written religious
pamphlets. • I have sometimes gone to
bed at miclnight—aid got up at sun -
like and at noon ' he then, fixing his
eyes intently upon the young man con -
eluded with this remark, "but I always
. pay promptly for ' my newspaper
Then the other old men also, chimed ,in
with—"Of course, ! _ we always pay
promptly, and- in advance, for our
newspaper. No pian deserves long
life who does not do this '!" Then he
young man resolved that he also would
rencler himself deserving of long life
.a and immediately subscribed for five
newspapers, paying for them. all in ad
va nce, - He is living yet ! Reader, -go
-thou and do likewise. 1
TUE DOLLAR ($) MARK.7-4 & humor
ons writer in one of the Newyork week
lies gives the followingaccouut of the
origin' of the dolior mark. "My great
grandfather, who . was' a genuine old
Knickerbooker Dutchman, and kept a
grocery and lager beer laloon in New
York during the r ign of his Majesty,
Gebrge III., became a little more hil-
arious.than usual on a tertian evening
after a.brisk business, ,and while in this
happy mood undertook to figure up the
amount of his receipts. His eyesight
was never very clear, and of course was
no_!better after the imbibation of the' un-
told number of glasses that. one of his
class can stow away. Thus =with lager
bediimned eyes and unsteady hand, my
ancient progenitor commenced his task.
In carrying but the .amount of one pa-
t :oil`s account for lager,which was eight
York shillings (-8 ), he • got the figure 8
all =plain enough, but the shilling mark
he failed to but in the right place mark-
ing it down through the figure. 8. He
tried the second : time, but '.with no
better success' Veil, veli, said hef eight
shiliings is a toll.ar, .and a tollar is eight
shillings—so II just lets `the mark shtan
for ter tollar, and shuts mine shtore, ash
I am: tired and sleepy mit }`nine eyes.'
And from ,this honest fellow's slate- the
mark soon spread until it became -known
the world oyer as the mark of the
Dollar:"

A PHILOSOPHER. —A tanner in a cere
tain Virginia town,having erected a
building on the main street for the sale
of his -leather, the purchase of hides,
etc.,` began to consider what kind of a,
sign would be most attractive. At last
what he thought a happy idea struck
bile. He bored an augur -hole through
the_ door -post and stuck a calf's tail in
to it, with the bushy endflaunting out,,
After a while he noticed a grave -look-
ing person standing near the door, with
spectacles on, gazing intently at the
sign. So long did he gaze that finally
the tanner steped,out and addressed the
individual:—"Good morning l" " Mor-
ning ! replied the man, without =tnov -'
ing his eyes from • the sign. "You.
want to buy leather ?" " N o." ",Want
to sell hides 1" . "' No:" • Are you a
farmer l" . "No." 'f Are you a mer-
chant ?" . " No." a Lawyer?"` . cc No."
Doctor ? . " No.' "What in: thun-
der - are yowl" . " 1 a* philosopher.
I've been -standing, here:half an' hour
trying tb,: decide how that calf got
through that augur -hole and for the
life of me fI can't, make it out!"
The .mode of catching fish in New
Brunswick in winter is a little different
from that followed on the shores of our
lakes, On the K.enebecasis river. in
King's county, New'Brunswick, im-
mense quantities ` -of codfish, hake,
and immense species of ; flat fish
(some weighing seventy pounds) are
taken clua ing the winter season. As
on Lake Ontario, some kind of protec-
tion against the cold; .piercing air is.
raised, the: `fisb.ernian their bores seve-
ral holes .tl rough the ice and through
them: lets,down strong cords; each: hav-
ing two.. -Or more`hooka attached, these
lines vary in length, some being sixty
feet long.': He then attaches the . end
!of each to 'the pliable stick, fixed in.the
ice by the sideof each hole. .Nothing
now remains for him to do but to sit'
and watch then.` On the lakes, they
catch the trout by sniggling them. that
is they watch by hole until one conies
along,; 'ivl er they dexterously whip a
wire noose round the body and. jerk it
out If you are lucl y enough to hit
upon a trout bed, you may catch the
whole of its occupants in a short time.
As they lazily winnow the sand around
the - ipitywith. theirtails, seldom going
far f, ea it. There are no -pike in New
Bruns wi . . It, and the bass is a very dif-
ferent fish to ours here, in the winter
becomes torpid and buries itself in the
sand ; in the spring, numbers are
caught'as, in `a semi -torpid state, they
float a!'iout on. the water.
