A Promising Invention. — Mr. A.
Glachet lias his house nicely lighted up
with gas of his own manufacture,
though as yet his apparatus is of rather
a rude character. A common stove
with a round hole in its front, into
which is inserted an iron retort, is the
furnace ; two small ice cream freezer ß
filled, one with water, the other with
a solution of lime, serve as purifiers
while one large tin oil-barrel inverted
into a larger one filled with water, and
working with weights arranged from
the ceiling, does duty as a gas-holder.
Yet with these simple appliances a full
supply of excellent gas is obtained, and
no gas bill to pay. Of course the gas
cost something, but, it is very little
The fire which cooks the dinner makes
it, and the coal of which it was made
leaves coke to assist in making gas the
next day. Against the only possible
danger which could be apprehended—
the clogging of the pipes—Mr. Glachet
has provided by attaching to the retort
a safety valve opening iuto tbe stove,
which it then assists in heating. When
this apparatus comes into market gas
companies will have to abate something
of their charges, or every man will
soon have liis own gas bouse. — Alex

HOW JACK LOST HiS POSITION.
“Well, iny little man, you are here
on time, I see,” said Mr. Jones t"
Jack‘Knowles as he stepped into his
store one morning; “that is a good
beginning, and I hope you will al
ways be prompt in meeting every en
gagement, and energetic in attend
ing to your duties.”
“I will try to be both, sir,” Jack
answered; and just at that moment
tie thought that nothing could tempt
j him to break any part of his word.
‘ ‘Cotno this way, and I will tell
you what you have to do.”
Mr. Jones then led him into his
counting room, and kindly placed his
hand on his head while lie said:
“Now, Jack, you know the bar
gain between your mother and my
selHs, that you come into my family
as my own child. Do whatever I ask
you to do, quickly and cheerfully,
and try to make yourself useful all
the time. You wdl be expected to
run errands, such as carrying small
packages homo for customers, going
to tbe post-office, delivering messa
ges, and assisting the clerks in what
ever way you can. In return, I ex
pect to clothe and feed you, send you
to school during the winter months
and, if you prove yourself worthy,
will advance you in your position in
the store. Really Ido not need a
boy, but I do this for your mother’s
sake. Do you agree to the terms ?”
“Yes, sir, and I am verN grateful
to you—indeed I am—and you shall
see by my work how much I love my
mother and you.” Jack spoke these
words earnestly. He meant all he
said.
“I believe you, my boy, and will do
all I can to help you keep your good
resolutions.”
‘ ‘Thank you, sir.”
“Your place will be in the sales
room; remember to help all you can.”
“I will, sir. You may depend on
me.”
Mr. Jones turned to his desk, and
Jack hastened to do something, to
show Mr. Jones how desirous ho was
to please him, and how nicely he
would do his work.
In an hour or two the room began
to fill with customers, and soon all
the clerks were busy as they could
be. Jack was nearly everywhere,
with his pleasant “Let me help you,
please,” and, when night came, all
were ready to praise the errand boy
for good nature and willing assis
tance. That night Jack slept sweet
ly. He had done his whole duty.
His employer approved his conduct,
but, what was better than all, his
conscience whispered, “Peace,
you’ve done right.” The sun was
just peeping over the hills when Jack
rose next morning, and as soon as
tho store was opened he was in his
place. All day, as tho day before,
Jack was busy. When the store was
closed he felt happy, but his limbs
were tired; the work he had to per
form was more than lie was accus
tomed to do, but ho did not complain.
Thus matters went on. Jack gra
dually rose in the confidence of all
who knew him, and, if a message was
to be sent in haste, a package deliv
ered promptly, or a check cashed at
the bank, Jack was the boy to do it.
His word was considered truth itself.
One day one of the clerks wished to
send a package to the express office.
Calling Jack, he said: “Take this to
the office, quick; run, please. I
want it to go out to-day. and I am
afraid you will bc|too late”
Away Jack bounded, but had not
gone far before ho heard someone
shout: “Hallo! Jack Knowles! wait
for a fellow. lam going that way.”
‘•I can’t, Bill; 1 must hurry with
i his package."
“Wait till 1 catch up. Jam going
that way.” Bill hastened and came
up with Jack, who never stopped
until Bill Smith seized him by tho
shoulder, saying: “Wait a bit. Don’t
kill yourself. Whose is that you got V
Where are you going ? What’s the
hurry ?”
“It is Mr. Johnson’s; I am going
to the express office, lam afraid I
will be too late; if you go with me you
must run.” So saying, ho shook off
Bill’s hand and sped away, leaving
his companion behind, muttering to
himself: “Such a boy ! He’d kill
himself, if old Jones or any of them
clerks told him to. You wouldn’t
catch me work in that way for nobo
dy.” Ho turned to find someone
who had more leisure than Jack.
“Here, sir, please; send this pack
age to-day, sir, please,” said Jack to
the clerk in the express office, stop
ping two or three times to get his
breath.
“All right; you are just in time,
my little man; two minutes more, and
the office would have closed.”
“Oh, I am glad I didn’t wait for
Bill Smith!” he said, half aloud.
Then, after stopping a moment to
rest, lie hastened back with a light
step, feeling that lie had done right,
and that this pleasant feeling more
than paid for his trouble. “Just in
time, Mr. Johnson; two minutes more
would have been too lute.”
“Thank you, thank yon, Jack; I
Till not forget this favor.”
“No thanks are due me; I have
only done my duty.”
A few days afterwards, Mr. Jones
called Jack into the counting room
and handed him a package, saying,
‘•This was left for you.” Jack open
ed it and found a beautiful Bible
with his name in gilt letters on the
side, while on a fly-leaf he read: “To
the boy who is always on time. J.”
Tears of joy came into his eyes as he
stammered, “I don’t deserve it.”
“I am sure I know nothing about
that,” said Mr. Jones; “I suppose
someone thought you did, or they
would not have given it to you,” lie
added kindly.
“It must be Mr. Johnson,” and he
hurried off to find that gentleman,
but he was busy and continued so all
day. Jack though lie was unusually
industrious, for lie could never sec
him at leisure, and could not tcli him
how much lie prized the little gift.
Mr. Johnson read it in his eyes, and
that was all the thanks he wanted.
Here, Jack, take this check and
get it cashed. The amount is one
hundred dollars and seventy-five
cents. Count the money before you
leave the bank.
The banker knew Jack; besides
Mr. Jones had told him to let Jack
have money whenever he sent him,
so he had no difficulty in getting mo
ney on the check. After it was paid
to him, lie stopped and commenced
to count it slowly.
Don’t you think I have given you
tho right amount ? said the cashier,
vexed to see the little fellow slowly
turning the bills, and counting, Ten,
twenty, twenty-fivo, forty-five.
Are you satisfied now ? said tlic
cashier, with a contemptuous curl of
his lip.
No, sir; this is not right.
Boy ! what do you mean not right ?
Yes, sir; not right. I want only
cm huudrgd, dollars and seventy-five
NUMBER 3-
cents, and you have given me one
hundred and seventy-five dollars.
Impossible!
Look and see.
He looked and saw that Jack was
correct. He then paid him the right
iiuiou.fl, saying in an undertone,
Whew! beat by a dov !
Jack thought he had done nothing
worthy of comment, and therefore,
never mentioned the occurrence to
his employer.
One evening, just before closing,
Mr. Jones summoned all the clerks
into the counting-room, and then
called Jack. "When lie had taken his
scat among them, Mr. Jones arose
and slowly said: Jack Knowles it is
my duty to tell you that you are no
longer an errand boy in my store.
He then sat down. For a moment
Jack was speechless. The eyes of
all the clerks were upon him. Sud
denly recovering himself, speaking
through tears and choking emotion,
lie said: Oh, Mr. Jones ! what have
I done ? What have I done ?
These geetlcmcn will tell you, he
coolly answered. Mr. Johnson may
speak first.
Mr. Johnson arose and said: He
runs ail the way to tho express office
when there is a possibility of being
too late. Henderson said: He is al
ways on hand when a package is to
be delivered. Mr. Holmes, the book
keeper; He helps me post my books
at night. Mr. Henley: I heard him
tell the cashier of the Union Bank
that he hail paid him too much once
last summer. Mr. Howe: lie is al
ways neat and tidy, and can tie up a
package as quick and as nicely as I
can’
Now, boy, said Mr. Jones, scarce
ly able to keep a straight face as he
saw Jack’s look of mingled surprise,
joy and fear; you see what you have
done, and I say again, we do not
want you as an errand boy, but make
you a clerk in a department of the
store.
Then the gentlemen present grasp
ed him by the hand and congratula
ted him, saying, You have lost one
place, but secured a better one.
Not many days hence there will be
seen the sign, Jones & Knowles, in
Shepardsville. So much for an obli
ging disposition, attention to interest
of employ or, strict honesty, energy,
and punctuality.— Reformed Church

PREHISTORIC AMERICA.
In (lie current number <>f tho
Overland Monthly a California ge
ologist revciws the geological evi
dence of the antiquity of a human
settlement near the present town
of Cherokee in that State, and es
timates the age that most ancient
of discovered towns to he not less
than one hundred and eighty thou
sand years !
The traces in question are nu
merous stone mortars, found in un
disturbed white and yellow gravel
of a subaqueous formation, not fiu
viatile, underlying the vast sheets
of volcanic rock of which Table
Mountain is a part. In some cases
the mortars have been found at the
dept of forty feet from the surface
of the gravel underlying Table
Mountain. The distribution of the
mortars is such as to indicate with
great positiveness the former exis
tence of a human settlement on
that ancient beach when the water
stood near the level at which the^ -
occur; a time anterior to the vol
canic outpouring which table
Mountain records, and anterior to
the glacial epoch.
The recent geological history of
that region may be briefly summ
ed as follows: Previous to the
placing qf the mi rtars in the posr
tion in which they have been found
the early and middle tertiary sea
level had receded to the position
of the coal beds underlying Table
Mountain, fully one thousand feet
below the level of Cherokee. Sub
sequently in the pliocene period,
there was a futher subsidence of
about fifteen hundred feet, some
thing like six hundred feet occur
ring after the mortars had been
abandoned. All this, as has been
noticed, took place before the vol
canic outflows which covered up
the ancient detritus of that region
including that of the ancients riv
ers (whose gravels have furnished
so much of the gold of California).
The geological age of the river pe
riod was determined by Lesquer
eux from specimens of vegetation,
now extinct, collected in the sur
vey of the ancient riveis; speci
mens indicated a flora of the plio
cene age, retaining some charac
teristic miocer.e forms.
After the volcanic period the
land rose again, the time of emer
gence embracing the glacial peri
od and tho new eroding period in
tho sierra, during which the slates,
and the hard metamorphis green
stone, and the granites were slash
ed with canons three thousand feet
deep by the action of ice and run
ning water. Taking the rates of
continental movement determined
by Lyell, our geologist calculates
that the time required for the chan
ges thus outlined could not have
been less than eighteen hundred
centuries. For a period so long
preceding the glacial epoch as tho
time when ancient Cncrolcce was
buried by the waters of the advan
cing sea, his estimate is certainly
not extravagant, though it docs
transcend so enormously the time
men have been accustom to allow
for a man’s resident on earth.
