I could have killed him The joke fell flat ; the people were shocked ; they had not expected anything like that at Barnum's. I told the fellow the next day that if it was repeated he would be dis. missca.' " 'Notoriety,' observed the show, man, 'has been absolutely indis pensable to me. Even now, if I hear a joke at my expense, I take pains to get it into the newspapers. I n ever could have lived without. printers' ink. 'You'll make or you'll break me.' I said to the editors at the circus last night. I have a 'pressman' to look after the editors. All this afternoon he has had car riages going and coming, bringing editors to the show, and returning for more of them. The leading newspapers, I find, are the most profitable means of advertising. Did you notice that all the female riders in the ring wore trousers t Fact. I insisted upon it." ROBERT MORRIS. The new silver certificates bear upon the left end the portrait of Robert Morris. We are prone to forget the deeds of the heroes who were instrumental in founding the liberal government under which we live. Robert Morris was a poor bank-clerk in Philadelphia in colo nial times, but went into business with his employer's son on the re tirement of the principal. He rose to eminence as A financier, and his was the strongest commercial house in America when the Revolution broke out. He opposed the stamp-act and was elected to Congress in 1775. On the first of July, 1776, he voted against the Declaration of Inde, pendence, declai ing it premature, but when the great instrument was adopted he signed it with the rest, and his signature is a bold evidence of sincerity. He did more for the purveyance of the army in its days of direful distress than the Govern. mnent ttself. In 1780, through his management, 3,000,000 rationus and 300 hogsheads of rumn were sent to the army. In 1781, he furnished the army with soveral thousand barrels of flour. This great man did not cease his exertions for the benefit of the Revolutiou cause till liberty was secured. When Wash-~ ington offered him the post of scretary of the treasury, he declined in favor of Alexander Hamilton. It is a mournful page in our history that Robert Morris, having lost his fortune in his old age, was confined in prison for debt, and actually died in poverty. The placing of his large, honest face on the silver certificate is some recognition of his services to our country in its early days of financial distress. LOSING A I3UTTON.-Walter Scott tells a story of a boy who was with him in school, who always stood at the head of his class. It was the custom of the scholars to change places in their classes, according to failure or success in recitation ; but though Walter was number two,'he could not get to be head, because this boy never missed. But Walter noticed that he had a habit, 'vhen puzzled by hard question, of twirling a button on his jacket, and this seemed to help him to think out a right .miswer. Walter, more through muischief than any worse motive, cut off the button slyly one day, to see if that would make any differ ence. The lesson was a spelling lesson, and several boys at t.he foot missed a hard word. It came round to the head. The boy instinctively put his hand to the button. It was gone. He looked down to find it, grew confused, missed the word, and Walter went above him. The boy never got to the head again, seemed to lose his ambition, settled down into a second--rate scholar, and never accomplished .mneb in ;1.ife. Walter Scott declared that he often suffered sharp: remorse at the thought that he possibly spoiled. the boy for school sid for lfe by cutting off the button that had .done such good service.

There is a curious story about some native wines which are extensively advertised nowa days, and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known ape-grower of Cretan Point, died in 187r. eofhsheirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of wvines th en on hand to be sold or any more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to mnarket, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It Is only nowv that the other heirs have succeeded In arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. A meng these is a wine of the vintage of 1864, described as a "Sweet Union Port,' but suggesting the Imperiai Tokay more than any other European wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are rmrae,and both physicians and wine ranciers have a special interest In it as the oldest native wine now accessible In any con siderable quantity. The whole stock Is In ihe hands of the well-known wholesale grocery house of the Thurbers.-N. V. TriDung, Nev. 19, IJ#77. The above speaks for itself, but we would add that this is the pure juice of the grape, neither druggd, liguored nor watered; that it has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes It is unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application.
