Given under my bandana Official Signs* This Maylst 1878. JAMES D. ED88, Mayl-mkn One bright morning in the month of November, tome jenra ago, 1 wu preparing to go down town, when the nervont informed mo that a man waa waiting at the front door to Me me. ‘Toll him I'll ho down in a min ute,’ eaid I. ■ On going to the door a man of tall atatnre and robu*t appearanoe oalling me by name, requested as sistance,saying that he had a large family, a wife in delicate health, and no menu to procure food for thfm. ‘You appear to bo atrong and healthy; why don't you work ?’ naked I, 'Simply, oir, for the reaaon that I cannot procure work.’ Not having any work to give him, I thought I would toot the •incerity of hi* inteutiono. 'If I give you work, what pay do you wont ?’ ‘Anything sir, you chooae to give me,' as long ns I can obtain means for my sulfuring family, •Very well/ .aid I. 'I will give you 25 cents an hour if you will carry a briek on your arm around the block for dve Hours without stopping, ‘Thank you, 3ir; I will do it.’ After hunting awhile I found a briok, placed it on the mao’s arm started him on hi* walk, and then went down town to my business. Not having the least faith in the man's promise, I thought but little more of it, yet, a* I knew I should be back within five hours, I determined to see if he perform ed hi. work. My busineas kept me away rather later than I ex pected, ao I had to forego my nsu- al walk home, aad took a fourth avenue car to b« back within the five hour*. As I approached the corner of the street where I reside, I found a great crowd of persons gathered twa fire-engines, a horse-cart and a hotk-and-ladder truck. Upou inquiring where the fire waa, I wa» informed that it was a false alarm, and that what brought the people together and occasioned the agitation war the spectaole of a tall mao oarryiag a briok on hio arm around the block for nearly five kouti. The neighbor, were looking at him from toe windows and door. a.he passed along;some thought bo wa. crazy, hut when spoken to hi. answer Was : ‘Don't .top me; it's all right.’ Aa he interfered with no one,he wa* allowed to walk on undi.turb od. Whore is the man now?' I asked. ‘There, you can see him at the other end of the block, walkiug with his hood down,' was the an iwer t He was jnst about turning the corn.r, and I waited till h« had performed the circuit; then,taking nimby the arm.l marched him to my house, followed by a lot of boys. Iu the meantime the fire men, engine* and horse-carts rat tled off. Tho man wa. thoroughly tired out when I took him into my hall and seated him on the ohair, and my servant, went tor a little wine and something to eat. I paid him a dollar and a halt. He informed me that, while mak ing one of hia turns, a lady came out of a hones and in quired why ha wasoarryiog tbai h. i.ik.antl «u giving her the reason* ho received dollar. Tho object soon became known, for aa ha passed the hous es small aumi ware given to him by different perMns, and he was wall satisfied with hie day's work. But/ said ha, ‘what shall I do to-msrrow?’ Why/ I replied, ‘go early in tha morning to the houses from whiob you reooived the money and ask for work, and, no doubt, you ill find Mme one who -^11 put you iu tho way af getting' it; and then report to me.’ Tho following afternoon he in formed me that he hod been eont to a German, who kept a pork es lablishment in Third avenue, and who wanted a cletk to keep his books. He was to get |5 a week if his work proved satisfactory ,aud his duties began on the following day. Befors Waving me he asked for the brick that brought him euoh good luok, and I gave it to him. Within the year I ascer tained that the man had been transferred to a larga establish ment of the same kind, with a sal ary of 91,000, Throe or four years after this was' riding in a street-car, when a well dressed man accosted me with a smile, and asked me if I knew him. Being me hesitate, he said; ‘Do you recollect the man who once carried the brick ?' He then informed me that he was doing a prosperous business ou his own acoount, had laid up money, and expected soon to build himaelf a house up-town. ‘What became of the briok ? inquired. That briok, sir, has always oc cupied a place on our mautlepieoe, and we value it aa the most prec ious of our possessions. It has made our fortune.’ 450 level of the mint- ou his usual round of inspection, when his at tention waa called to a man crawl ing out of an eighty-foot deep winze, who fell faintiug as soon as he reached the floor of the drift. Jack rushed to the man, tonri-l him ineeueible, and saw at once it was a case of foul air,and it flash ed across hie mind that there wei A Brave Miner. ■ , . , ' , j , , ‘I wand a farm of three hundred Some tew weeks ago Jock Rer-'.,,^ but UQ , hundred MrMma(t roeen, foreman ot the Hamburg j ^ margh Und , mine, had just gone down on the I ‘Mere she is I' was tha ready reply.

This form haa a natural water-fall of tw*nty-fivo feet and eleven inch**. I don’t suppose au inch, more or less on more miners in the bottun ot that • would make muoh dil- lerouct ? Newspaper Business. An txchang* says; We sup pose many people think that the newspaper men arepersistentdnns, let a former plaoe himself in a situ ilar position and see if he would not do the same. Suppose he rail ed oue thousand bushels sf wheat, and his neighbor should come and buy a bushel, and the prioe waa a small matter of only two dollars or leas, and the neighbors tav, ‘1 will hand you tho ohaoge in a few days.’ As the former did nst want to be small abonl tha matter he saye/ ‘AU right,’ and tha man loaves with th* whsat. An other comes in tha same way un til the whole one thousand buib- els ot wheat are trusted to one thousaud different persons, and not one of the purohasers concerns himself about it, for it is a small amount he owes tha former, aad of course that would aot help him any. He done not realize that the farmer has fritted away all hia large crop of wheal, and that its value is due him in a thousaud little driblets, and that he is es peciully embarrassed because his debtors treat it as a small matter. But if all would pay him prompt ly, which they conld do ae well as uot, it would be a very larg. ntuout to the farmer, enable him to carry oa his business with oat difficulty. Th* above comparison is too true ot the difficulties that the newspaper man has to coatend with. drift. To rush to another portion of the mine aad summon assis tance, grab a rope, hurry back and start down the wings ladder was but ths work of a minute. Reaching the bottom he tound them lying in a stupor and insen sible, He attached the rope to the body of one of them, saug out to the miners who had gathered at the mouth of the wiugs to haul away, which they did with a will, and soon landed him ou tup. The operation was repeated with tha other two, and then Jack, diriy and faint, climbed out,his temples throbbiug with pain and very nearly overcome himself. Some time ag* Jack was working in the Atlas mins, putting in a blast at tho bottom of a ninety- foot winzo, in company with a brother miner. Everything being ready to fire it, his companiou lit the fire, and both started up the ladder, Jack ahead. He had climb ed about twenty feet when his partner shouted that he was about to faint, Without a moment's hesitation Jack skipped bock, and just as the uiau relaxed his hold succeeded in grabbing a death grip to hie shirt. It was a fearful heavy burden, the man weighing 200 pounds, but putting fourth all his muscular energies,he slowly climb- •d the ladder round by round, the iuoeusible miner embarrassing his progress by bis contortions. It was almost certain death unless he succeeded in getting out of reach of toe explosion, and his progress seemed to be painfully slow; but he huug on aad was within tea feet of the top before the bloat went off—a sufficient distance to E lace him and his load out arm’s way No; but 1 want a wind-mill os oue ot the hills.’ ‘That was put up last year,’ was the calm reply.
