Tlic (jiinicer Cake Trick in li lt: itla A well dressed stranger rushed up to a crowded counter in tliis city a few days back and called for five ten cent cigars They were supplied and the keeper of the shop given a $20 4 note in pay ment. 1 must have you change this, said the customer, laying it down The salesman complied by h».nd ing him threess bills and $4 50 in silver. Stop a moment. Ssid ihe s'ran ge! J I have a half dollar; take that ai d give me back ilio S2O.- 1 don’t want so mueh change in my pockets. With that he laid a half dollar down along with the other silver, but befote his request could be complied wi'b, lie, a third time changed bis mind. It would suit me still better, said he, if you would take this $4.50 and my half dolhr and give me $5 in j apei money instead, so that I may have change for my bill without lugging arouud all that silver. The clerk then gave the $5 iu paper as desired and also pushed the other three $5 bills, which still lny on the counter, but that worthy had again changed bis in ind. No, be said, afler pocketing the first $5 note. I don’t believe 1 care for the change ; take it all back and return my S2O bill. This was done and the man turned to leave.

The jropnVcr of the establish ment where this lit of egenious maneuvering occurred, says it may have been an accident but it re sunbles skill. The training of the conscience or moral sense is the most delicate aud important of nil tht duties de volved upon the teachers of youth The mere disposition to follow and avoid wrong however sincere and earnest it may be, is not all that is required. The reason must be brought to bear upon and di - rect this disposition—in other words the conscience must be taught to discriminate intelligent ly. It would be no exercise of this sentiment to bid the pupil ah stain’from vicious ac's because they are practised only by the mean, and are sura to bring down odium on the perpetrators. That would be an appeal to the pride, not the moral sense. The argu ment mnst be addressed directly ly to the conscience. A negro woman of Hamilton claims to be one hundred and three years old. Not another eit - izen is old enough to disprove her allegation.
