1 True Story of a Clerk. : :
A New Ep'gland merchant doing a large busi
ness recurring several clerks, a short1 time since
missed several articles of value from his store
He -determined to watch the habits of the youog
hicn, to discover, if possible, which one. if either
tf them, was untrustworthy. , There was one
of them appeared particularly active and faith
ful; his dress wasxmferior to that of the other
clerks; ! andj he wasrjot particularly popular
among themj The merchant learned that this
young man remained for half an hour or more
after the others left, with the door of the store
locked.! This circumstance awakened his sus
picious, and I he arranged a plan to conceal him
self ia the store, so that he might discover what
occurred when the clerk supposed himself to be
unobserved, j Having eent the young man upon
an errand jnst before , the hour of-closing,-he
.entered his concealment. The door . j was locked
as usual, at' the proper time. j; The clerk at once
began to sweep and put the establishment in
order. I " "---'! " ' ! ! ::'"'"- j
While waiting for the dust to settle, he was
seen to go behind the counter; and taking some
thing from beneath it placed lit in the breast bf,
his coat. The merchant was now alive to dis
cover what had been taken, and what: was to.be
done with itj The young man went to the win
dow and sat n silence a' few moments, apparently
examining the package which he had taken from
his breast. tTlie4 merchant was not long left in
doubt His clerk soon fell upon his fcnees; he
saw that it was a Bible he had been reading;
and now he offered aloud a simple and touc'hing
prayer, for himself, his mother, and sister, his
employer, anil particularly for a brother j clerk,
who. he feared, was yielding to : temp
After he hacl finished dusting he left the
unconscious of having had a human eye

It is easy to believe that the merchant was
deeply affected by what! he had seen and heard.
This clerk's salary was increased several hundred
dollars a ycar, and he was given the position
made vacant! bv the discharge or another whose
criminal acts had been discovered. ; I . ;

When Should Children be-Tanght' to Read?
We often hear parents boastiug of the acquire

. j Teach Your Boy a Trade-
An article which we cut from one c-f our ex
changes, referring jto thisluhject, says : ;
' Of 13.-i93 prisoners. iri; the penitentiaries of
thirty .States in 18C7, according to the report of
the prison association just: issued, 7 per cent.,
morerthan three quarters, had not learned a trade.
Here isa text from which Dr. rranklm should
have preached a forcible sermon to parents.
! '-The time was when it ivas not thought re
putable for parents to leave their children with
out trades unless they belong io the class of
gentry I In rraocc, bciore the revolution the
one of 1789 thisjprovided sentiment or instinct
was so strong that . even the children of the
nobles were in sonic cases tauirht a lirht handi
craft, and when the storm lof the Reign of fer-

Itheirselves with in more prosperous days. ' ;
! '-A man who has a good trade has an indepen

iways oi nigiier wages; tiian lie who lias no trade.
j and if his genius and jcntcrpriso lead' him into

to have; been found in xVustralia. Its discovery
has been telegraphed to England. It was placed
in the hands of al trustworthy man. - He was

lGeolorists are at. work upon
it now: but if it really proves to be what is sup

value is lien millk n ' iu gold. Th ;
value of the stone just found, if fomputcd by

Interesting Scientific and Historical Facta.
The Discoirrjf of the ttimhtfion of Blood.
Galen,, who lived A 1. lf0. ws the first to forta
any true idea of the prncr : fr he asserted that
the arteries carried blood uL not air. Vcsajiua
was the next in the field, and .-h-.wed (about th
middle kif the xh century) th.t no direct cots
municatiou existed bet wee u the right and left
iJcs of 'he heart lie was a iut enthusiastia
and philophIc ijivcstigjtnr, and suffered under '
the religious prejudices of the period; for not
contenting himself with tie examination of the
bodies of the lower, animals, he on one occasion
made, as he thought, a "post mortem" examina
tion of the body of a young nobleman. Judge
of hiss hVrror and astonishment ou finding, when
the tfiest was" opened; that the heart Wat Still
)iK iepittiei. poised, abroad, and he..
to undertake. ,
and afterwards foil
into disgrace and temporary oblivion.
The next was Servctosp who, with tolerable
distinctness pointed out that the blood was car
ried from the heart to the lungs, and then re
turned; but hecame to. an untimely end. He
was a divine, and published this physiological
discovery in a theological work. A few years
subsequently Ctesalpiuus, a distinguished botau
ist, first coined the expression "circulation of the
! ood, and described the circulation thus: VI
::ials .we perceive the fooi, brought by the
to the heart, and it is distributed over the .
re body bv the arteries," Next, we observe .
; in 1774 iibricius discOycred tlio valves ia
vcius. " Iu 1819 " Harvey appeared1 in the ,
; and claimed the merit of establishing the
vovcry of the circulation of the blood.
Ambassadors. The , custom of sending am
bassridprs is of high antiquity. The narao of
ambassadors, says Cicero, is sacred aud inviola
ble, At Athens the '-ambassadors from foreign-
princes and States always mounted tio tribunal
or pulpi of the public orators, and thcro opened
their commission "and acquainted the people with .
their business." At Home they were introduced
to te yenate, and delivered their commissions
to thcaij "Athens and Sparta," says M. Tour
rcij, wlcii in all their glory, were never so much
delighted hs to see and hear a number of ambas
sadors iu thjpir assemblies, suing for their pro
tection and alliance. It seemed to them the;
noblest honor that could bo paid them ; and that
State' which received the most embassies was
judged to have the advantage over the other."
To admit an ambassador is to acknowledge the
sovereignly of the prince oj: the independence of
the Statcpvhich he represents. Franco acknowl
edged the independence of the United States of .
America by admitting Franklin as their ambas
sador before they were declared independent by
Great Britain. The first ambassador sent by the
Oar of &p3ia.to Kuglaiid was in the year 155Q:
the first sent to ITurkey from England, 1C0G;
the Portuguese ambassador was arrested for debt
in 1C53; the Itussiau. w;:s arretted by a lace
merchant in 17U), when a law .waa passed for -the
protection of ambassador ; tlie first that ar
rived in. Europe from India was Tippoo to Franoc
iu 1778; the first from the Ottoman Empire ar
rived in London in 1793.
Skulniy. Fitzsteph'.n, who died in the year ;
1191,saj's: "It was customary in tho wintet;
when the ice would boar them, for the young
citizens of London to fasten the leg bones f
animals under tlie soles of their feet by tying'
them round their ankles ; land then taking a pole
shod with iron into their liand, they push them- '
selves forward by striking it into I ho iee'and
moved with celerity equal to a bird flying through
the air, or an arrow from a crossbow."
The IJon and the Uuvorn. -The most promi
nent feature about the royal arms of England is
what heralds call the supporters tho lion aud '
the unicorn. Of these tjlie lion is the badge of
England,, the unicorn of Scotland; and their
position is inteuded to symbolize "the fact that -the
sovereign is maintained by the union of these
two countries. The uninitiated observer would
describe the unicorn as placed on the right side
of the shield, nnd the lion on the left; but heralds
apply the terms right nnd left to a coat of arms, .
with reference not to the spectator, but io the "
supposed bearer of the nhieid, who is f courvo
behind it. Ever siuce 1C03 the royal arms of
England have been supported aa now by the
English lion nnd the Scottish unicorn. Elisa
beth and Mary had a Jiou and a greyhound for
supporters; Henry VJf a lion and a dragooo;
KicharcniL, a lion nnd a boar; Edward IV.. a
lion and a ball j Henry V , alinri and an ante-,
lope; Hc.nry VI., an antelope niid a swan; Ed
ward III., a liouiiod an eagle. The use of sup
porters began with Ed wild III. The Scotch
arms had always hero supjortcd by two unicorns
previoitH to the accession of Jiich I. to the Eng
lish throno. ' " ! '
, Mm f iSlrair--titrate Haft. --)lany years ago
men could be easily found togivc evidence upon
oath that might be required, and some of these
persons walked openly in Westminster Hall with
a straw in one cf their shoes, to signify they
wanted employment as witnesses ; hence origin
ated the, saying ' lie is a man of straw." But
the Stoin ' has high antiquity. A writer on
Greek Court say : -We have (all heard of a
nice of mm who used, iu .former' days, to ply '
about our owicourts of law, and who, from their
manner of making known their occupation, were
recognized by the name! of Straw Shoes. -As .
advocate or l iwyer who wanted a convcnientVb-
ncss. knew, by these sTgns, where to fitd on, "
and the eh quy between the parties was brief.
'Don't ymi remember? .."Paid the advocate. .The
party look at the fee and gavo no sign ; but ike
t'cc increased, and the powers pf nnmey iu creased
with it. 'lo be suro I do. 'Then come into
court and swear it.' And straw shoes went iuto
court and swore it. Athens abounded in straw
shoes.". : ' "'' ".' ;'..-..' ,'"-..
Though a straw in the shoo has ceased to be a
distinguishing mark, the records of many of our
courts shojv that ''men of straw" still exist and
are easily fouud by those unprincipled enough
to require their services. . They are now, how-.
ever,. principally employed as bail, aod .'straw
