I took the part assigned to me to play, and played it with all my heart and soul.

In these hard times for workingtnen in all branches of business, the follow ing sensible advi from an exchange is timely and appropriate : The demand for mechanics in country places Is al ways growing. It is a mistake to sup pose that carpenters, bricklayers, and masons need to crowd into a-city to find employment. In the country, where a mechanic can have a few acres of land upon which he may siwiid part of his I i.1 a i.l 1 le - HemWWorr5rw-Y He can . horse and ride to his w ork, losing less time in doing so than if he lived in a city. He can keep a cow, some pigs and fowls, and raise, with the help ol his children, a large share of his supplies. His family will have better health and enjoy themselves much more than in a orowded city, having flowers and a garden to amuse tbeiu. They may dress less expensively, will wear out fewer clothoa, and the rent will not have to be provided for every month, or, if it has, it will be but a trifle compared with city rents. Farmers everywhere are improving their buildings, putting up better barns and fences, auu competent country mechanics dould procure profit able jobs and could do the work at tuuen cheaper rates than in cities. One well finished job brings others, for nothing 1h so catching as improvement, and our experience has been that many fanners do without new barns or houses because of the difficulty of procuring competent mechanics at a reasonable price. I here are very few good farmers now in the East or the est that are not aim' to have good farm buildings, ami at the present time village mechanics have more steady employment and can save more money if they earn less than those w ho work in the cities. Mirk le Tear Bnilini. There Is nothing which should be more frequently impressed upon the minds of voting men than the importance of steadily pursuing some one business. The frequent changing from one em ployment to anotlier.Is one of the most common errors committed, and to it may le traced more than half the fail ures of men In business, and much of the discontent and disappointment that render life uncomfortable. It is a very common thing for a man to be dissatis fied with Jils Business, and to desire to change It for some, other, which, it seems-to him, will prove a more lucra- j tlve employment, but in nine cases out j of ten it Is a mistake. Iook around you, I and you will find among your acquain tances abundant verfflcation ot our as sertion.. Here Is a young man who commenced life aaa mechanic, but from some cause Imagined that he ought to have been a doctor; and after a nasty and shallow preparation, he has taken up the saddle bags only to find that Work is still work, and that bis patients are no more pro fitable than his work bench, and the oc cupation not a whit more agreeable. Here are two young men, clerks; one of them Is content, when his first term of service Is over, to continue a clerk UHhe shall have saved enough to com mence business on his own account; the, other can't wait, but starts oft' without capital, and with a limited experience, and bungs up, after a few years, In a court of Tusolvoncy, while his former oorhTade, by patient perscverenco, comes out at last with a fortune. That young lawyer, who Injcame dis heartened because briefs and cases did Doterovrd upon him while he was yet redolent of calf pound volumes, and bad small use for red tape, who con eluded he had mlsUkeu his calling, and sa plunged Into politics, finally nettled down luto the character of a nilddllog SstWd'gger', scrambling for bis dally red.' There Is m honest farmer who has tolled a few years, got hjs farm paid for, but does not grow rich very rapidly, as much for lack of contentment mingled with his Industry as anything, though, he Is not aware of It. He hars the won derful stories of California, and how fortunes may be, had for the trouble of picking them up: mortgages his farm to raise money, goes away to the land of gold, and, after many months of hard toll, comes horns to commence sgaln at' the bottom of the hill for a more weary apd less successful climbing up again. Mark the men In every community wbo are notorious for ability and equal ly notorious (or never getting ahead, and you win usually find them to be those wbo never stick to any one busi ness long, but are always forsaking their occupation just when It begins to be profitable. oung man, stick to your business. It may be you have mistaken your call ing; if so, And it one as quick as possi ble, and change it; but don't let Shy uneasy desire to get along j fast, or a dislike of your honest calling lead you to abandon it. . Have some honest 'oc cupation, and then stick to it; if you are sticking types, stick away at them ; if you are at the law, hold fast to that profession; pursue the business you have chosen, persistently, industrious ly, and hopefully, and if there is any thing of you it will appear and turn to account in that as well as or better than in any other calling; only, if you are a loafer, forsake that line as speedily as possible, for the longer you stick to it, the worse It will "stick" you. The Florida Uepkrr. We saw several j(ears ago in the up per portion of New Orleans a colon v of gophers (highland turtle), estab lished by a gentieman in his gardeni He had a very large square of ground en closed by a high picket fence, the pic kets put in the ground very deep. In this square he had one of the finest gar dens we have ever seen, and to our as tonishment he had it swarming with uf' 'ie na had bought a schooner load of these turtles, brought from the sand hills of Florida. He had originally bought about three hundred, but had eaten about half of them. The others he kept to lay eggs aud to eat occasion ally. He had had them several years, and stated they ate two or three kinds of grass and did not disturb his vegetables. He had a few young ones-but would not to raise any, as they were of, slow growth, but the eggs were very fine, as we had occasion to test, and they laid twice, or oftencr, each year, and a great number of eggs at a laying. wl'woudarl'tkonot'keep these harmless animals.

Palatine Perl ml t hy the II end. NarcisHe Piochard is a hairdresser In Paris, but he is also an amateur portrait painter. As he charges only twenty five francs a portrait, he has a great many orders among the humbler classes. Recently he was called upon to paint the ortraitof Mme. Beaulogis, a buxom janitress. She was painted in profes-mIiid.-iI nocture, seated with one hand on the cord and the other resting upon the back of her pet cat, a handsome Angora, which reposed in her lap. 1 lie jiortraii was excellent, the Angora being par ticularly good, as in this particular the artist's knowledge of hair was of ad vantage. But .after the first compli ments the scene changed. Mme. Beau- logis drew a Louis d'or from her purse and handeed it to the artist. He pock eted it and asked, "Where istheother?'' "What other?" said the surprised jaui tress. "The other iouis; your )ortrait is fortv fraucs." "But you told me it would' be twenty francs." "By the head. There were two heads yours and that of your cat." "But the cat is an ornament, a mere accessory like the cord. Do you want me to pay for the cord, too?" "The cord doesn't count, but the cat counts; that is a head. Count bv heads. Will von give me the other louls?" "No." "Well, theu, I'll take away the picture," and he did so. Mme. Beaulogls seeks to replevin It. Narcisse in return demands his two louls d'or, and the Paris District Court will soon have to decide this weighty lawsuit. Ferwlty r While Mire. There Is a cage containing three w hite miceat the lelta saloon, Virginia, which are quite a study. After seeing their j manoeuvres for an hour or two, one is not at all surprised at the racket made by niloe generally, for during the early part of the evening thev take constant and violent exercise, they consume a great deal of water, taking a drink every ten minutes or ofteuer. It would be supposed that such a Binall animal as a mouse would not be at ail ferocious aud aggressive: but such, appears to be the caw with the white sprxie at least. A chipmunk that was put into the cage with those at the Delia was attacked bv them all and very quickly despatched, without one of the mioe being Injured In the least by the unfortunate victim. A gray mouse, which was subsequently nut Into the same cage, was very roughly handled, being attacked by two Of the white mice, who took hold of him like a couple of bull dogs, and repeated the attack again and again, shaking him by the throat and biting his legs and tall, the latter being nearly severed from his body.
