There was a commotion in a Bowery cij;ar 6toro hint evening. The rnprictur wan gazing pensively nt Hume ol'his hish art photographs when a tall man with a lmliy nioustacho and heavy eyebrows sauntered in and miid: l'liot any twofer.?' "Any what." ''Two for fives'.'" The cigar murchuut intimated that his stock iu that line was varied ami valuable, aud handed out 6vc or six cigars fur in spection. The tall man seleetcd a weed, shaved off the cud, aud proceeded to liht it. He had nut taken more than three or four puffs, however, when the ciyar exploded with a sharp report, covering the tall man's countenance with ejriuic, pieces of tobacco, and other things. Ilo didn't say anything. He pulled out a veteran handkerchief nnd began to huld a hurried antc-morten on his face. One eyebrow was singed, and his moustache was in 11 fragmentary condi tion. "I hope you are not hurt," said the storekeeper, tremul jn-ly, as several people crowded into the shop to see what was the matter. "Are you an Anarchist?" said the tall man, briefly. "No." "Dynamiter? ' "No." "What was that you gave rue?" "I am sure, sir, there is somo mistake,' returned tha dealer, humbly. "We make all our own goods, all Havana filled." "Are they?" said the tall man contemp tuonsly, "Fire cracker filled fits it better, (lot any gun cotton fine cut, any sky rock et plug? You're forcing the seasou young man; this isn't Fourth of July yet," aud then he laid the shattered stump of his cigar on the counter and added, grimly "You can have that to build on again. When I feel like smoking another Roman candle I'll drop iu aud see you." WOND ERFUL D A HOT A .

"We have some very fine hind." "So I uuderstaud but are not sumo of the stories they tell of its fertility exagger ated?" "Why, my friend, I am sorry to say that some of them are downright un truths." "That's what I thought. Now, what is the 111.

THE I'ltKTTY mill,, TUB urHIIIXO (Hill. AND TIIK (11111,8 WE ltKAt.l.Y I.UVE. I know tlio girl who is simply pretty. Well and is not that enough? Once upon a time a distinguished new beau was be sieged by 11 fair maid and n homely maid, who ptessed the claims of intellect versus beauty. The homely girl exclaimed, "Oh, you will surely give your vote, Mr. 1) in favor of intellect; beauty is only skin deep, you know." "Deep enough for me, my dear; deep enough for mo," auswerid the irrepressible gallant. Aud so it is for most of us. A pretty girl may drop her final g's, not an r in all her vocabulary, be as vapid as a shallow little stream purling down the hillside, with an eternal smile on her red lips, a glint of laughter in her youog cyo. She is pretty, and she knows it, and that is almost enough. But after a time there will come a day when the girl who was only pretty will stand by and look on at the triumphs of the girl who was wise as well as pretty; who fitted her miud to accord with the graces of iu beautiful casket. How few friends may be faithful to her. Her one true lover may still be fond of her, fur it is not easy to uproot love, but their fondness is tempered with regret und disappointment, and when the soil eyes dim, and the rouud arms shrivel, and the satiu cheek is an etched picture of life's vanity aud time's failure, the girl who wasouly pretty turns her pour, scared face to tlio wall; there is no welcome lamp of intelligence lighted in tlio blue window of her soul dull merit, uncultivated. Skin-deep beauty was not deep cuough after all. The gushing girl is a nineteenth century production. She giggles from the time she opens her eyes in the morning until she says amen to the Lurd at night and puts her flurry little he'd on tlio pillow. She says "thanks awfully," for, "I thank you." She thinks the grand, lugubrious music of tlio "Slabat Mater" "too sweet for anything." A kitten with its eyes as yet unopened, the Niagara Falls and Mr. Gladstone all are "just too utterly charm ing nnd lovely fur any earthly use." Her adjectives are all in the superlative. She will gush over a pumpkin, over her sister's new baby, over a doggerel rhyme, over everything she sees, everything she hears, over everybody she knows. If she is here to-night she will say to mo as she does of the weather -as she did of her new bon net that lam cither "simply grand" or "simply horrid." But then she is young she ia impressible. She is full of some thing which she thinks is sentiment. Let her hug her neighbors' babies and her brother's kittens, and kiss the collie puppy and adorn the new miniter. It is all gush. It is the innocent light-hearted gush of a girl. Let her frolicsome youth have its fling. In a little while she, too, will join the tanks of the lookers on, and will have her fling at that silly, giggling gusher, to whom everything is "sweet," or "cute," or "cunning," or "just too awfully lovely." There is a girl, and I lovo to think of her, and talk of lie, who comes in late when there is company, who wears a pret ty little air of mingled responsibility and anxiety with her youth, whom the others seem to depend on and look to for many comforts. She is the girl who helps mother. In her own home she is a blessed little saint aud comforter. She takes un finished tasks from the tired stiff lingers that falter at their work; her strong young figure is a staff upon which the gray haired white faced mother leans and is rested. She helps mother with the spring sewing, with the week's mending, with a cheerful conversation and congeuial companionship that some girls do not think worth while wating on only mother. And, when there ci a day that she must bend, as girls must of'teu bend, over the old woruoiit body of mother Ijiug miheedl'ul in her collin, ruiigh hands folded her long di cpiiet merged in rest, something very sweet will he mingled with her loss, aud the girl who helped mother will find a benediction of pi'iiej upon hei head and in her heart. The girl who works God bless her is unother girl whom I know. She is brave and active She is not too proud to earn her own living, nor ashamed to be ciiili'lit at hei daily Inslt. She is atudioai and painstaking, and patient. She smiles at you from hi hind counter or desk. There is a memory of her sown into each silken gowu. She is like a beautiful young mountaineer already far up the. hill and the sight of her should be a fiue a inspiration for us all. It is an honor to know this girl to bo worthy of her re gard. Her hand may be stained with factory grease or printer's ink, but it is an honest hand and a helping h tud. It slays misfortune from many homes; it is the one shield that protects many a forlorn little family from the almshouse and asy lum brave, polite, refined, nmbitiou, the South is the rightful home of the girl who woiks God bless her.-C'ATIlKRI.NE Col.r, 11 AVic Orli'uus l'ictiyime.

Harry Kennedy, I!.) years old and col ored, was arraigned before Police Justice Hung the other morning, charged with disorderly conduct. The tistiiiiony of the officer in the case went to show that the prisoner had imbibed enough boor for a grown person and was engaged in ex hibiting his astonishing smartness to a number of persons who were coldly unap prcclative. A murderous looking knife was found on the prisoner, together with three boxes of matches. "What were you doing with this knife about you?" enquired his Honor. "I use that to cut my co'ns wid, Jedge.1 "To cut your corns with?" "Yes, sah." "Troubled much with corns, are you?" ,'Powerful." "And these matches? Were they to kindle n firo on the altar of young love's holy sanctuary?" "I spec' day war, Jedge, your Ilonah, yes, sah, dat'a what day was for, sail." "That makes you guilty of arson, then. "Sah?" "That makes you guilty of arson. The intention constitutes the criint fully 11s much as the act itself." The prisoner seemed to realize his des perate situation, and with uu effort said: "Jedge, I got dem matches for to light my pipe wid." His Honor frowned, au l iu a severe tone usked what he was doing with the knife. "Jedge, I was carrying it fcr auud.ier man." "Ha! Carrying it for another man! In tending to murder him, I suppose?" Kennedy fairly gasped as he replied: "No, Jedge, yer llonah. He's a shoe maker dat fixes our shoes on de boat Yes, he is, Jedge sho.s yer bo'n." "Prisoner, you have been King here." "Yes, sah." "And I don't know whether to sentence you to four years solitary confinement un derground or " "Jedge!" "Silence! jr to let you go."

"What am I going to be?" is a question that comes up in every boy s mind soon af ter ho enters his teens. If he has a partic ular bent in any one direction, for medi cine, for art, literature, or mechanics, the problem is comparatively easy of solution, so far as choice is coucerned. ltut a large proportion of mankind is born without special tastes and capacities and for such many avenues of industry are open. It is incumbent on them, how ever, they may be industrious, as we take lor granted the fact that they all wish to excel iu whatever line of occupation they may select. And excellence cannot be at tained without unflagging application and ceaseless wurk, be the task that of finan ciering in Wall Street or weighing provis ions for a commission house. The millonaircs work as hard as other people. On the first of the new instituted Saturday half holidays in this city, the newspapers noted the fact that at least two metropolitan magnates remained at their offieos until the usual closing hour. If you have inherited a fortune you mils: work in order that it ru.iy not slip away from you if you start out iu life pennilcss.you must work in order to gain a live lihood. Thus for rich and poor alike there is the sann watchword work. A nd in the ease of young men with special gifts, the possession of talent or genius by no means implies that labor is needless. On the contrary, the greatest achievements in literal uro and art have only b.-en pro duced by the closest application, the hard est study, the most cxhaiistless patience. Even the diamond undergoes severe polish ing to disclose its true value. TIIK 1 i:i.l:ilTNU OK IIMIS. North American Review. "There is nothing new under the sun," not even the telephone. Permit me to state in the year 1 605 there was published in England a book with the title of "Mic- ographia." The author was Dr. Hubert llooke, a celebrated siicutist, mathemati cian and philosopher, who was bom in the Isle of Wight in ICG") and educated at Oxford. The work referred to contains furious philosophical descriptions of miu- ule bodies, made by magnifying glasses, as indicated in the title, together with "Obsei vations and Inquiries" on them, In the preface, the learned scientist asserts that the lowest whispers, by certain means (which lie docs make public) may be heard at tha distance of a furlone; that he knew a way by which it is easy to hear any one speak through a wall three feet thick; and that by means of an extended wire, sound may bo convcyoil lo a Very creat distance. almoit iu an instant Ffrting attention without intention Half wool lace bunting, all colors, at fjj, M.F.

She had been courted assiduously by one of the greatest beaux iu tow 11, 11 rich young man, with fortune, prestige, and everything back of him except that he was gay and had sown an immense crop of wild oats, lie sent her the most extensive presents, which she would not accept. Scon s of influential friends tried to help on his cause, and the most skilful female diplo mats tried to induce her to discard the young man, who had nothing arrd no friends but herself. Her own family, with out an exception did everything to induce her to prefer the rich suitor. Young as she was, with all society making a pet of her, she gave up everything gave up so ciety, gave up home, gave up every luxury and fascination that women are supposed to hold dear and married the man of her choice. And she is happy far happier than many who are "in the swim." When some one said to her: "Why did you rnako the choice you did? Why refuse so much rhat most girls value dearly ?" she replied: "l married for two things character and morality. My husband had them both aud the other didn't.

There is an amusing "breach of promise" case guiiig on in Dublin, just now, caused or partly caused by that habit of imitation of fiction into whieh, as I have many times had reason to point out, I'act is so prone to fall. If the tale has been written very lung ago men forget it; and when they be hold the dramatic version of it, as it were, on the stage of real life, exclaim, "Why, no one would have believed this in a novel." Hut one does not forget llic 'Arabian Nights.' Among the first half dozen sto ries will.be found the original of the Dub lin episode, which is as follhws: An elderly geiitleman.eiigaged to be uur ried to a lady in h:r "teens," knocks at the door of her father's study. A mischiev ous parrot cries "come in," and ho finds his lady love and a youug gentleman much too far apart not to excite suspiciou. The parrrot proceeds to imitate the sound of kissing, anil finally indulges in mocking laughter. The marriage is brken of, und the defendant pleads justification. The (0esiion for the long robe to settle is, whether the parrot's evidence can be ad mitted. It is urged that since he has been at sea and swears habitually he must un derstand the nature of an oath. A WH-'H'S) DI.VOTION. In the collisiiui between the steamers Britannic and Celtic, when it was supposed the Ilritannic was sinking the boats were lowered to transfer the passengers to the Celtic. The captain promptly issued the order: "Women and children first." Husbands and fathers parted with wivia and daughters, an J iho lulUr, with tears in their eyes, aciiuiesccd. Iu the midst of the excitement, Mr. Jose Ma. Miyares a Cuban, tried to induce his wife to take the only vacant place in one of the boats. She threw her arms around hi neck and de clared that if he was guing to die she was going to die, too, and she remained. This ii one of the most touching in stances of a wife's devotion that wo have ever read. There is uo danger of the courts ever being troubled with divorce proceedings between that couple. "Yes, children," said Mr. DcBaggs, ad dressing a Chicago Sunday School, "yes, children, wrongdoing is always punished. eilher in this world or in the next.

Probably a boy never hears of a success ful in ii ri but that the thoii'.dit that flashes through his mind Is, "Why did he succeed? How did he begin?" Ex Mayor Kdson, of New York, says: "The rules that 1 have followed all my life, and whieh I regard as necessary to sueceil in business, are: I. Close attention to details. Aud this means sometimes working nights and during hours usually devoted to recrea tion, 2. Keeping out of debt. Kegulating expenses so as to keep within your income, and all rimes to know just where you arc financially. 3. The strictest integrity. It is rare that a dishonest man succeeds. He does, sometimes, but not often. 3. Being temperate in habits. 5. Never getting into lawsuits. Business ouuht to be c( niliictid in such a way that there will he no ii 'i il of lawsuits, and it is better often to suffer wrong than logo into court about it. SEARCHINC FOR PAPA. A lady in the street met a little girl be tween two and three years old, evidently lost, and crying bitterly. The lady took the baby's hand, and asked where sho was going. "Down to Cud my papa," was the sob bing reply. "What is your papa's name?" asked the lady. "His name is papa." "But what is his other name? What does your mamma call him?" "She calls him papa," persisted tlio lit tle creature. The lady then tried to lead her along. "Vou had better cone along with ins. I guess you came this way." "Yes, but I doir't want to g.) back, I want to Hud my paj a," replied the little girl, crying as if her heart would break. " W hat do you want of your papa?" asked the lady. "I want to kiss him." Just at this time a sister of the child, who had been seorchiug for her, came along and took possession of the Utile run away. From inquiry it appeared that the liltle one's papa, whom she was so earnest ly seeking, had ree-'inly di xl, and she, tired of waiting for him to come home, had gone out to find hiui. Ex. A TOUCH STORY. A Pittsburg man and a Baltimore man undertook to tell talcs for a wager. The person who could tell the most improbable to win. It was arranged that the Pitts burg man should open the contest. He began by stating the following singular oc currence: "A few days since," said he "I was standing on the bank of the Sus quohaunuli river, and on looking down the stream I saw a strange-looking crall with three men on board of it. One of them was blind, aiiother without arms, and the third had no clothes on. The blind man looked down into the water, and saw a half dollar piece at the bottom of the river; the man without arms reached down and picked it up; aud the one that was naked took it from him, and put it in his pocket." The Baltimore man gave it up. To illustrate the slceplincss of a certain college town the following story is told: A certain professor, who made the unu sual complaint oi insomnia, was advised to consult a New York physician. He did so: and the latter; after a most thorough ex amination of heart, lungs and all the vital organs, pronounced the professor absolute ly sound. "I am at a loss," said the doc tor, "how to uecount for it. You seem per fectly well. Perhaps something is prey ing upon your mind." "Oh, no," said the professor, "nothing at all." "Perhaps you have some business cares." "No, nothing 0! that sort " "And yet you say that you get no sleep at night?" "Oh, I never said that. I'm all right at night. It's insom nia iu the day time that troubles me." ADVERTISEMENTS. 1857 1857 JANUARY at llll. RUFE. W. DANIEL OHOCKKIKS, LI400KS, TIN! WINKS, ClUARfl, ' TOBACCO o., to. IIGRGsiBn r.M;.'.l.'

The disease commenced with n slight de rangement of the digestion, with it poor appetite, followed Ly a peculiar indescribable dis tress in the stomach, a feeling that lias been described as a faint "all gone" sensation, a sticky slime collecting about the teeth, causing a disagree able taste. This sensation, was not removed by food, tut, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and sticky a cold perspiration. There was a constant tired and lan guid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with gloomy forebodings. Finally the patient was unaWe to re tain any food whatever, and there was constant pain in tho abdomen. All prescribed rem edies failing to give relief, a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order tosavc the patient's life an operation was justifi able. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, lss.'J, the opera tion was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tnckerman, Dr. l'erricr, Dr. Arms, pr. (iordon, Dr.Capner, and Dr. IlaUiwellor the Police Board. The operation consist ed in laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach and bowels. When this had beeu done an examin ation of the organs was made, but to (lie honor and dismay of the doctors there was no cancer to be found. The pa tient did not have n cancer. "When too late the medical men discovered that they had made a terrible mistake; but they sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours. IInw sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife died from the effects of a surgical operation that ought never to have been perfonued. If this woman had taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration (for this was what the disease really was), she would have been liv ing to-day. Suakki: Kxi'iiACTor Hours, or Swokl's Cvhative Syki'I', a remedy made ex pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi gestion, has restored many such cases to perfect health after all other kinds of treatment have failed.
