After a man has worked in shopi for ton or fifteen years'there is a great desire for a change. Some wiant to go out on a farm, others think -that the invention of something that van ibo patented will solve th problem, while others want to own d run a shop themselves. The latter is really the true mechanic, but not necessarily the man who will get out the most or even the best work while working for a boss, says Ctfarles Henry in the Work ers' Magazine. On the contrary. he will often be considered the lazy man by the foreman when the work is of an ever recurring character. Let. how ever, some difficulty arise in conmec tion with a job or have some hard proposition to meet and he will always have a suggestion to offer that will help to solve the problem, while the ordinary man and the hustler will stand around helpless and often dis interested. He will have the elemen tary laws of mechanics and physics ut his finger tips, will know enough of electricity to allow him to discourse upon the subject in an intelligent man ner, and he will be well posted upon the mechanical progress of the day. A Dressmaker of Yarmouth. In the churchyard of Caister. clowe to Yarmouth, Is the grave of the "quiet, little, gentle voiced dress maker," of whom at ter ientIttin Oc tober, 1843, the then bjshop of Nor wich said, "I would canouize Sarah Martin If I could." Yarmouth reveres her to this day. A stained glass win dow has been placed to her iem(ory In the parish church, where her prayer book is still preserved, while her jour nal is one of the treasures of the pub lic library in the tollhouse. Under neath this building was the miserable dungeon which served as the borough prison, and it was to the amelioration of the lot of the wretched prisoners that Sarah Martin devoted her life. Earning a bare subsistence of fifteen pence a day by tolling from early morning till far on into the night, she yet rianaged to give up one day in the weelk to her labor of love. She died In poverty, but the result of her life's work was the reform of the prison system of Yarmouth.-London Chron cle. days in constructing of cardboard. mica and green velvet a little model of an old New England house. coin plete as to windows, curtains, lawn. garden, trees and even including a S-~+~ with n lnv hat and summer tretched out on a jack stoop.

He had not meant to give some innocent young women the slightest offense when he wvrote a story about 'two young men who went with their girls to attend a lecture and after they left, the girls got drunk.' Putting that miserable little comma out of its right place did the work, as It made the girls the ones who became '* Inebriated instead of their escorts.

His Csnoepelon. Miss Sallie Miller, the acknowledged belle of the town, had fewer beaus than wero her due. This was pwing to her father's peculiar aversion to all young men who called en his dangh ter. Hie had a disconcerting wvay of * taking possession of the porch and snubbig 'her callers while they were waiting for her to come dowd. One evening Newton Brown, a bash ful young swain, came a trifle too ear ly for Miss Sallie. Mr. Mtller and Newton's father were close friends, but the- boy had grown so rapidly that the old gentleman did not -ecog nise little Newt Brown in this tall, gawky youth. "It looks as if it might rain," the young fellow ventured tim 'idly, "'Tain't a-goin' to rain," was the gruff response. For about a quarter of an hour they sat in silene, Finally the old man's curiosity got the better of him, - "Who are you, spyway?' he growl ed. "Newton Brown, sir." "What! Not old Jake Brown's son?" "Yes, sir.", "Well, well, said Mr. Miller more kiadly; "it may rain; it may rain." Elfrybodfs Magazine. Business Locals. Notices.'of Rale, Wantls.
