While we are particularly careful and try hard to follow every wish of a customer, the multiplicity of directions oftentimes de feat the Object desired to bo obtained.

Ingersoll.] Every man dught to be willing to pay | tor what he gets. He ought to desire to I give full value received. The man who wants $2 worth of work done for 41 is no honest man. The man who wants others | to work to such an extent that their lives are burdens is utterly heartless. The toil . of the world should continually decrease. Of what use are your inventions if no ad ditional comforts find their wav to tho homes of labor? Why should labor fill the world with wealth and live in want? I Every labor-saving machine should help I the whole world. Every one should tend to shorten the hours of labor. Reasonable labor is the source of joy. To work for wife or child, to toil for those you love, is happiness, provided you can make them happy. But to work like a slave; to see your wife and children in rags; to sit at the table where the food is coarse and scarce; to rise at 4 in the morn ing to work all day, and throw’ your bones ;OU a miserable bed at light; to lire with .out leisure, without r&t, without making those who lovo you comfortable and happy; this Is not living; it is dying; a slow, lingering crucifixion. The hours of labor should be shortened. With the vast wonderful improvements of the nineteenth century there should not ouly be the necessaries of life for those who toil, but comforts and luxuries as well. What Is a reasonable price for labor? I nnsw’er: Such a price as will enable a man to lay by something for his declining years, so that he may havo the feelings of a man. I sympathise with every ,'ionest effort of children 6f labor to improve their condi tion. This is a very pi. orly governed country, in which those who do the most have the least. * There is something wrong where men have to beg for leave to toil We are not a civilized people. When we nre, pauperism and crime will vanish from our land. I sympathize with tho wanderer, with the vagrant out of employment; with sad, weary men who are seeking for work. When I see one of these men. poor ami friendless, no matter how bad he is, I think that somebody loved him once; that he was once held iu the arms of a mother; that he slept beneath her loving eyes and awakened in tho light of her smile. I sco him in the cradle listening to lullabies sung soft and low, and his little face is dimpled as though by fingers of joy. And then I think of tho winding paths, the weary roads that he lias traveled from that mother's arms to vagrancy and want. There should be labor and food for all. Old-Tlino Surgery, [Pittsburg Dispatch.] A number of years ago there lived in Wheeling a certain Dr. llullien, who be came famous as a surgeon. Some of his omjrations were very brilliant and decid edly awe-inspiring among the common people. One case iu particular was thought to be unparalleled at that time. A young ludy belonging to one of the best families in eastern Ohio was terribly disfigured by a protudiug lower jaw. Hearing of I)r. llullicn’8 skill as a surgeon sho prevailed upon her father to allow her to go to Wheel ing and see If anything could bo done to improve the shape of her face. She went alone, and nothing was heard of her for two weeks except that sho arrived tlisro safe. One evening, ns the shades of night were gathering, a really handsome lady drove up to tho gate in front of the farm house and asked if she could get lodging for tho night. The well-to-do farmer said they did not keep a hotel; besides, they were expecting their daughter home at any time, so they could not keep her.. £ho said sho guessed she would stay anyhow, and hopped out of tho buggy. The farmer thought she was au escaped lunatic, and was nbout to shut and lock the door in her face when tho house dog came along and recognized tho lady us his young mistress. . . . It was impossible to satisfy her parents and sisters of her identity, so remarkable was the change in her appearance. In her pocket she had two sections of jawbone, each containing three teeth, which ex plained how tho cimngo had been made. The operation is quite common now, but at that time it was rare. In this case there were threo more teeth on either side of the lower jaw than usual, and as they grew they caused the jaw to project forward. At birth gie lower jaw was but little longer than tho upper one. The surgeon merely rosected the jaw on either side con taining the extra teeth, cutting out one in front to nmko the jaw narrower and bring ing the ends of the bones together. It .was simple enough, but tho country peo ple lay awake of nights} thinking and talk ing about It. Dividing the Lose. [Exchange.] “When McCullough first camo to Brooklyn,” remarked Col Synncs, of Brooklyn, recently, “he appeared at tho Academy of Music. It was late in the season, and the engagement was not suc cessful financially. 1 went to him and offered him a week during the following winter, lie came and succeeded. Tho second season also. The third season I engaged him for two successive weeks. The first Week business was good; tho second week it was bud. I paid him a big certainty. After I had settled with 1dm lie came to my otlice. and putting, down a check for $500 in front or me, he said: •Take that; I don’t want anybody to lose money on me, when we were both wrong in prolonging tho engagement to two weeks.-’ He 6 the only man I have ever kuowu to do anything of tho kind in my lwenty*fiva yety*' experience. ” Mac 0ad Seen Vceuvlue, [Merchant Traveler.! Mrs. Parvenu had been abroad, and when she returned she had much to tell. One daV adndy was talking to her. “Ah,*my dear Airs. Parvenu did you go into Italy?" , , „ „ “Oh, yes,” was tho reply, “we were all over it and ww everything. ” “Did you visit the Vatican?" “ Yes, we were there, but it was erupt ing fearful that day, throwing up lava and smoke and stuff, aod they concluded it would not ire sa5e to go up to the top.
