Finding fault with Masters.-Apprenti sate very prone to complain about their asters-to exaggerate the amount of iheir hor, and lessen the kindness of their em loyers. They say those things to their tsociates, whiclt nothing would tempt en to nention in their presence;-and -ing friendly to the apprentices, they ad ied them to pursue certain steps, which -e ir. direct disobedience to their masters' ishtes. The best course to pursue is this: hetever any fatult is to be foutd with a aster, let it'he made known immediately him, and the difliculty settled between te two. For, when wrong feelings be in to exist in an apprentice, he will not o careful to please, norhesitate to do his ork unfaitlhfully-which will soon be no ced, and give place for severe reprimand. 'hus will the boy's situation he made un leasant, and the case will be imputed to is niaster, when in fact it belongs to him -l1. And what cones ncxt ? Opportuni es are sottght to leave the employment ie advice of interested companions are tlicited and given--and then follows a ep which will be regretted perhaps ttongh life. To Apprentices.-The only way for a [untg man to prepare for usefulness is to ivote himself to study during his leisure jurs. First, lie industrious in your busi --ss. Never complain that you are obli d to work ; go to it with alacrity and eerfilness and it will become a habit at will make you respected by your em loyer and the community. Make it your isitness to see to and prtmote his interest: V taking care of his you learn totake care your own. Seeontd, be industrious in 3ur situdies. Few persons can complain r a harder miaster than Franklin's, yet lie id laid the foundations of his greatness hile an apprentice. Success depends at on the anountaf leisure you may have, it upon the manner in which it is em loyed. Ilams.-It is well known that West h:alia hams are held in higher repte than" ;vy ahers. This excellence is said to be wing, tnt to anything pectliar in the ?rk, btt to the ianner of euring the atms. Thev are smoked in the tipper .ories or buihing, and the smoke which from oak or maple chips, is conveyed y meansof tithes fromi the cellar of the uilding. Ths passing through the long mane, the vapor, which smoke generally olds, is deposited, anml the hams are Ier retly dry and cool during the process.

Sike upon Sha/ke.-A n A pothecary, t Newcastle, having a patient lyi'; at nahis door, sent him a hotile of imedicie. 1d wrote on the haiel, "when taken to well shaken." Next day, he repaired his patient's lous;e, and eiquired of the -rvant who opened the dour, how his raster was? Servatnt shook his head. What ! is ie worse!" said ihie apotheca ' "Did lie take tie draniuht," 'Yes r," Watt the reply. "Well what then >hn." "Why, thet. sir, we shook him ee."
