The dreadtal drama of the Revolu
tion wae entering upon the laet act, in
the spring of 1871, though the footsore
rsggod continentals knew it not.
The ttaalstjnn-burst *as centering in
Virginia. TSfayette, In eemmand of
the' irginian army, was compelled to
evacuate Richmond Wore the advance of
Ccrnwallis; and Arnold, the traitor, at
the head of 2,500 men, was marching to
reinforce the confidant rojralista
Meanwhile Hen. Wayne was en route
from Pennsylvania to join Hen. Greene
„ the ( arolinaa. But Washington bad
ordered Wayne to rid Lafayette, should
the latter need reinforcements m his re
sistance to Cortowrilis. Lafayette s
troops were in a dispirited and diaorderly
condition upon the retreat, and Corn-
waliis knew it. In writmg of the pur
suit the dulte said: ‘‘The boy can not
0grap6 me.
This "boyhood” of the brave young
Frenchman was a source of ridicule
among British officers, and of jeriouay
among the continentals. Of the latter,
lien. Wayne was a conspicuous instance.
His reputation, rank, and violent temper
made him intolerant, and he never
failed to give expression to his opinions
in unmeasured terms.
Wayne was but a day'a march from
Lafayette when he received an order
from the latter to join and oo-operatc
with him, indicating therein the route
Wayne's army should take, and the
point where the foroee ahould become
united. .
I pon reaching the designated point,
Lafayette was surprised not to met*
Wayne or receive any word from him.
This delayed Lafayette's movements and
filled his mind with apprehension.
The marquis thereupon sent his aid-
de-camp, Maj. Anderson, to urge Gen.
Wayne to march with all haste. (This
o ficer was Mai. Kichard Clough Ander
son. aid-de-camp to Lafayette, the
father of Maj. Anderson, of Fort Sumter
memory.)
Maj. Anderson found Wayne in camp,
ami received from him an ungracious
promise to move up. At the end of
three days Lafayette, learning that
Wayne was not advancing, again sent
Maj. Anderson with a peremptory order
to join him by forced marches; and Mai.
Anderson was instructed to remain with
Wayne, anti to send forth hourly dis
patches to his chief until tho troops
mould arrive at camp.
When Anderson reached Wayne on
his second mission he found that Hen.
Wayne had moved-bnt four miles from
his former headquarters. Upon enter
ing the room that served as the adju
tant's office, Mai. Anderson saluted
Hen. Wayne and his stafT; then, asking
for pen, ink, and paper, sat down as if
to write. looking up to Wayne, whose
curiosity had been excited by this pro
ceeding. ha told the general that he had
been sent by the Marquis de Lafayette
to report the order for his advance, and
that ns he was about, to forward the
first of the hourly dispatches required
ot him he desired to know what should
be the nature of the report. Wayne was
amazed at the conduct of Anderson, and
staring at him he asked the aid-de-camp:
"I>o you mean to insult me?”
Anderson denied having ally such in
tention, but said that in the course of
duty he carried the commands of a su-
lierior officer. Wayne's voice, which
had been husky anil choked with pas
sion, now broke forth: “Superior! su
perior! I>o you call any d—d foreigner,
auy hoy. my superior!” He then poured
forth a torrent of oaths aud impreca
tions upon all foreigners, not sparing An
derson himself, tor having associated
himself with “the fortune-seoklng
Frenchman." He became more vehe
ment as be lashed himself into a fury,
striding up and down the room, stamp
ing his feet In a paroxysm offrage. It
was the indulgence of these furious out-
hursts of temper, and not hia well
known rashness In battle that gave him
the nickname of “Mad Anthony
Wayne.”
The account says that Wayne, fati
gued by hla violent actious and tho ve
hemence of hia passions, gradually sub
sided into gentleness of action. But any
reference to the object of Anderson's
mission led to a repetition of the pas
sionate outburst. Ail officer succeeded
at last in turning the conversation from
the dangerous topic.
Wayne having expressed himself con
fident of ultimate suocese, Maj. Ander
son gave expression to his own gloomy
foretoding*. Pressed for his reasons by
Hen. Wavne, Anderson replied that as
the only ho|te of success against a for
midable foe lay in voluntary union and
subordination, the example lie had wit
nessed that day of an officer high in
rank, and of distinguished services, re
fusing to obey orders of a superior offi
cer deprived him of the hope of useful
or permanent success.
.,," ( ' e 1 n '" ayne,” said Maj. Anderson,
i look to you to remove these appre
hensions."
This arraignment of Wayne's course
seemed about to produce another storm-
hurst of passion; but Wayne waa,
though envious and exoitable, a true
patriot and soldier, and with almost tho
»»nie best with which he had refuted to
obey Lafayette lie cried out:
Tell him I'll jine him! Tell him I’ll
line him. By O-d, tell him I’ll jine
nun to-morrow!"

U ywu haw M leaning towards a
trade, and no work ofeit at home, you
must find tt elsewhere. If yon do not
want to end your daya as a laborer you
must make up your mind in advance of
any step to be diligent and faithful—to
be honest and economical. By observ
ing the first three maxims you will hold
any place you may aecure, and have the
good will of your employer to follow
you into new fields, by observing tho
fourth you can, in a few years, accumu

What boys have done other boys eau
again accomplish. Light out of overy
ten of our rich men were poor boys and
made their own way. As for those who
began life with plenty of money, not
one out of eight has been anything like
a success. Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo,
Albany, St. Louis and every other city
contains men who began life by working
for smaller wages than will over be
offered to you, and who are now worth
from $50,000 to $1,000,000 apiece. Some
of the old growlers will tell you that it
was alt in luck. Don’t you begin your
career by believing in luck. It leads to
the poor-house by the straight road.
What the lazy man calls luck is simply
diligence, economy and management.
hick out the laziest, uoorest man in
tout town and you will 'find him growl
ing about luck. When he oomes to ex
plain his career you will see that he
planted potatoes and waited for luck io
come around and hoe them while he sa’
on the grocery steps and talked politics.
The ill-luck he growls about has conic
more through his own shiftlessness and
bad management than from any other
cause! Ililigenco makes luck; economy
makes luck; honesty makes luck. It is
too late in the day to make the world
believe that some folks were born to be
rich and others to be poor. It rests
solely with the boy and man.
Nine cases out of ten the boy who is
thoroughly determined to make some
thing of himself will succeed. He may
have to encounter rough usago, but tho
resolution which oarried him out into
the world will carry him aafely through
any crisis.
K?Ui of “Shop Driving."
[Scientific American.)
There are men who get position by
audacity, and not by merit. Huoh men
are sometimes foiTnd in the workshop in
the position of foremen or bosses, and
thoy make trouble for men and expense
for proprietors. Such a foreman ap
pears, always, as though in a great
hurry; gives short replies to questions,
as though time and words were exceed
ingly valuable with him: rushes about
the shop as though pursued by a con
stable with an uncollected debt against
him: and turns from a possible cus
tomer at an important point in conver
sation to attend to a trifle that would
more appropriately be left to a subor
dinate.
Among the workmen such foremen
are troublous: they make quiet workers
nervous, unfinished workmen apprepen-
sive, and old stagers angry. They upset
the plans of careful, systematic work
men, and induce the "green hand” to
imagine that pretense of doing is as
good as done. Such a foreman does
other mischief; he is not oontent with
infecting others with his superficial ac
tivity; he injures tho self-respect of the
workman, and impairs his usefulness.
With the useless drive that comes with
the foreman when he goes the rounds
of tho shop, comes the expectation of
relaxation when he go "s, and this let
ting down of workman !i.*e energy is a
natural rebound from the pressure of a
strain that is repulsive. This foremnn
never commands; he critiotoea and ques
tions. "What! these studs not yet
ttimed! WhHt’s the troti'ilo!” "Be sure
and get this fit right; don't you know
how to do this job? ’ Such greetings do
not put much force into a workman's
muscles, nor increase his desire to excel.

A For tun. In Celery.
(FhiUvlelphia ledger.)
Fifteen years ago l-endert de Brazen,
a Hollander, was a poor gardener neai
Kalamazoo, Mich., trying to ma-e a
living off of somo marshy land he had
purchased. Alter ether things had
failed, he experimented with celery,
and is now a rich man. What was s
dozen years ago a swamp is to-day s
vast celery field, beside which a hun
dred acre lot is hut u garden. The
shipping season begins in July, in
creases until the holidays, then gradu
ally disappears until the crop is dis
posed of in the spring. Fifty torn
daily are now being sent out. and the
crop of 1884 will reach 5,000 tons, j
Twenty thousand stalks are raised upon ,
au acre of ground. It is said that
2,000 persous in that locality are eu- .
in this industry.
