An orderly man can make two suits of clothes last longer and look better than a slovenly man can do with four. He can save an hour per day over the man who flings things helter-skelter. He stands twice the show to get a situ- ation and keep it, and five times the show to conduct a business with profit. An orderly man will be an accurate man. If he is a carpenter, every joint will fit. If he is a turner, his goods will look neat. If he is a merchant, his books will show neither blot nor error.

[From The Current.] The site of the city of St. Paul was originally a series of abrupt terraces. At the bottom was a marsh, just at the bend of the Mississippi river, usually overflowed with water, from which rose terrace above terrace to St. Anthony Hill, now the most popular residence portion of the city. Of course these terraces are graded down into a con- tinuous slope, bluffs removed; ravines filled, until the Original appearance of the site remains only in the memory of the early inhabitants, many of whom still live, since St. Paul is yet in her youth. The beginnings of the city were upon the lower terraces, and for years the marsh remained wild land in the hands of the government, no one con- sidering it of sufficient value to enter it and pay the necessary $1.25 per acre for the forty acres it contained. Now, how- ever, it has been filled up six or eight feet, and is the most valuable portion of 1. the city, covered with factories, w re- houses, business blocks, railroad tra. ks, etc., worth all told several millions. , A.comical incident is told in connec- tion with this marsh, and vouched for as in actual fact. It occurred while St. Paul was yet a village, not out of her swaddling clothes; when the only means of transportation were overland stages and river steamboats; when Stillwater was yet the undisputed metropolis of the northwest. Even then St. Paul, " she was ambitious," and had hopes of the future, though her wildest dream failed to foresee what she has already be- come. One evening half a dozen of the vil. lege pioneers, including old Lyman Dayton, long since dead, and two men we will call General White and Colonel Clewitt, got to discussing the village and its future, as often they did, when the marsh waementioned. One of them ventured the assertion that if St. Paul ever became a city, this despised marsh would be very valuable, since it was the only land available for railroad tracks, indeed the only way that rail- roads could get into the city, as the bal- ance of the city's site was rough and hilly. The idea was ridiculed, however, and the subject soon dropped. A deep impression was made by the remark upon General White, however, and he revolved it in his mind that night until he decided to ride over to the land office at Stillwater next morn- ing and take up the marsh land from the Government. True, it might never be Worth anything, but it would cost only $30, and he had that sum V) spare. So bright and early next morning he sad- dled his nag and started on his errand. He had not gone very far, however, when he saw in the dim distance a form which looked familiar. Drawing near- er, he saw it was Colonel Clewitt leis- urely jogging along on horseback in the same direction. _Like a flash it occur- red to White that perhaps Clewitt was going to Stillwater on the same errand; and suddenly the marsh se.emed a far more desirable piece of land. Until that moment he had thought it hardly worth going after, but now that some one else appeared to, want it, its value increased several _hundred per cent. in his eyes at a. single jump. Of course, the first to „reach the land office would get the Coveted property, and the prob- lee. now was hOW to get ahead of Clew- itt without arousing suspicion. _Per- haps, after all, Clewitt's errand was something else entirely—in fact, thought White, after the marsh had lain ,there there years unclaimed, it was absurd to imagine that everybody had begun to covet it at once; still, it was best to be on the safe side, anyhow. He cogitated a moment, then decided to go by his friend on a smart trot, pretending not to see him, so as to avoid reiniug up and chatting with him, and thus lose his de- sired advantage. At once he put his plan into action. , When Clewitt saw White go flying by, however, he at once suspected the other's errand, really being on the same business himself. The same train of thought passed through his mind, end- ing in the same decision; so he spurred up his horse to pass White, now rapidly getting further and further ahead. Still, he was in doubt as to the object of White's trip, as ne might easily have a dozen other reasons for wanting to visit Stillwater. But as White heard Clew - it suddenly start up on a mere rapid IMPORTANT NOTICES. trot, he glanced back. The men looked -- at each other an instant—it was a ten.

JOHStanleN RE1TH, tainty that their errand was the same. Proprietor, Blake P. 0. 967x1 By this time that hitherto -worthless old marsh had jumped in value to a for- tune, and each man determined to se- cure it if possible. A sudden jab of the cruel spurs, a startled leap forward of the horses, and the race was begun. There were about five miles yet to trav- el, and both animals were urged to their utmost speed. Both had good horses, for in those days, when much trave1. ling was necessarily on horseback, both animals and men were strong, hardy and enduring. One mile passed, the clattering of the hoofs echoing back with ever-increasing rapidity from the forest depths they traversed, and still White was in the lead. Two miles, the clothing of the riders bespattered with rand from the flying feet, and Clewitt had gained a little. Three miles, the horses flecked with foam, with distended nostrils and fiery eyes, straining- every nerve, and Clewitt was slowly but surely closing the gap. Four miles, both men were standing in stirrups; hats gone, hair streaming in the wind, urging the noble animals to still greater •speed, and Clewitt's horse almost reached the ether's flank. Thelast mile was run like the wind. Utterly indifferent to the startled and wondering gaze of the people they pass- ed, both men continued yelling to their horses like mad, excitedly lashing them with their halter -ropes. ,In spite of all that White could do, Clewitt's steed still gained; now his nose reached White's saddle, now scarcely, a foot difference, now neck to neck; and so they dashed. into Stillwater like wild Indians which, indeed, their frightful yells and frantic speed made some people think they were. Dashing up to the land office at just the same instant, they jumped to the ground, and, hatless, covered with mud and foam from their straining steed, breathless with yelling and ex- citement, they rushed side by side for the office. Just before reaching the door they stopped short in bewildered astonishment and dismay, for in the door coolly smoking his cob -pipe stood old Layman Dayton'who spread out his hands in a patriarchal way and said: "Don't get excited, boys; just keep cool—I guess I've got what you're after, right here in my pocket." And so he had! Taking tine by the forelock, the old man had started be- fore daylight and secured the land as soon as the land office opened.—Herbert L. Baker. The Teetotaller. There was a soldier down in Ten- nessee when I was there—a great, strong, hearty fellow, who was a tee- totaller. One day when the army was going on a long march a man offered him a drink of whisky. "I am a teetotaller," was the reply. "Never mind that. You're in the army now; besides, you need stimulant to help you on this king march." Taking out a pocket Bible, he held it up before the face of his tempter, and said : " That is all -the stimulant that I want."—Moody. Among the Little Ones. A grandmother said to her little grandson of five years that he should pray kneeling at his mother's knees and not at the lounge. He quickly replied, "Grandma, I don't pray to the lounge, I pray to God." A little fellow of four summers having heard a blessing asked at a friend's table, went home and asked his papa why he didn't have prayers at the table. The result was a happy one. Two little boys heard their minister say: "We should pray in the morning and evening also." They went home, told their mamma, and insisted upon performing this duty, which resulted in a family altar.

A dozen years ago there used to come a rusty old dealer in farm produce to Boston. One Saturday night, having sold everything but a keg of apple sauce, he exchanged this in a tailor's shop for an overcoat, which the tailor toldhim fitted him perfectly. Next -morning on the meeting -house steps,all of his friends began to disparage his purchase. "Why, it's all puckered up behind; it don't touch you nowhere.' "Well," said the farmer, "1 couldn't see it behind when I bought it, but I took his word for it; he seemed to be a nice sort of man. But • I guess I ain't got much the worst of this trade after all. I guess when he comes to get well down into that air keg of apple sass, well down toward the middle, I guess he'll find it just about as puckery as this coat is." —Mr. W.

There are only two articles from which spectacle lenses can be maunfactured, viz., Pebble and Glass. Call glass by any other name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, is from Nature's own manufactory. It is natural crystal, found generally in freestone foundation, and is harder than the ruby and emerald, and nearly as hard as the diamond. The pebble 18 nothing more nor leas than a transparent stone, cut by the aid of diainond dust, and the greatest aniount of power is placed immediately over the centre of the grain found in all pebble.
