Mr. A.--' Good morning, Mr. I!.; I called to see
if you wanted a clerk. ! should like Input myson
into your store for awhile.'
Ur. Ik -' Indeed, I thought you needed him on
your farm.'
'Sol do need him—but I don't want my children
to have to work as h nl as I have tu—digging and
delving. 1 tell you ¡ts too hard; I'm fairly worn
all out.'
' Ah! butyon look more hale and hearty thanthq
most of us. and yet you must he quite as old.'
•Ves, I mu turned of70.   Hut! grow lame-and
. Ftíir. audits all f'mm hard work.'
'Ovor70i    Ami I  am bul dl. and   my partner's
younger still—yet see onr gray hairs.'
'Well, well -something jn femilies ahout that,
may he.    iiut do you want my hoy'.''
' No idr.'
' Why not V
' Because you want to put him here to live easy,
nnd he'll he good fur nothing;, as-a clerk or merchant either, ¡n that way. We merchants have to
wori hard i Two would gain anything ; and we have
to work a great many more hours in a year than
you do.'
I Yes, yes, more hour.s perhaps—but the work
isn't half so hard. Here you are in a cool room
in summer and a warm one in winter, we arc exposed to heat and cold, wet and dry.'
II know it looks so to you. But now do you go
into a room and spoil I all one long day walking it,
from side to side, dodging this way and that, and
see If long before night you do not want to get out
of your prison : see il'you are not tired enough before supper time to bu ¿Jad to sit down ¡n the evening with your family and yonr newspaper. Iiut no,
you must go back to your prison, and dodge and
jump all the evening harder than ever. And when
bed-time comes, yon must post hooks.'
' Oh, tell it all ou your side, lint suppose it is
po—you make money, and when old age enmes on,
you can retire from business and live easy,'
'Not a whit bettertliauyoue.au. i thought as
you do once, and tried it. 1 thought I could give
up the confinement and labor, and only oversee.
But Ibis ¡lid not give me ease or leisure; so I got a
head clerk and 'retired,' as you call—and what was
the results Why, [ failed. And what rid you and
everybody else say',' Why, Í had'quit work and
tried to be a gentleman, and no wonder he smashed—it was good enough for him—he might have
kept to work like other folks.'
'I know such things _te_i said, but we did'nt
know you heard of them ! Hut now just look at the
poor farmer's crops this season—half dried up. Just
think of such losses after all our labor.'
'Yes, and the day laborers, too, who are out of
employment, in consequence of the unfavorable season, will all fall upon me to knock oft''just a little
of tlieir store aceounts.liecause everything they buy
of the farmer comes so high'—and I must do it too.
or bo 'sucha stingy tight Jew they'll nevtr go
there to trade again,' to say nothing of those that
go off without paying at all.'
'Well. I suppose merchants do have losses as
well as farmers. But it seems as il'you did'nt have
half so many vexations—showers coming up—tools
breaking—cattle in the corn, aud what not.'
'Vexations! You know nothing about it. Come
hero and wait upon ungoverned children—try to
satisfy an old woman that a ten cent calico won't
fade—lower tlie price ofa pair of shoes or a plug
of tobacco to suit an Irishman—find something
nice enough for a fashionable young lady—grave
enough for a (pinker— gay enough for a darkie-
ptylish enough for a dandy—and can't suit one of
tliem till thoy have "looked ¡somewhere else'—and
you may fold up and pile up your goods to be ready
for the next uusatisi'yable set. Mr. B., you know-
nothing about vexations. No wonder we grow bald
aud gray before our time.'
"And so you are sure merchants have tin: hardest of it. But I don't know what to do with my
boy. He thinks farming too hard, and lie don't
like to go to a trade—feels—well, 1 don't know.'
' Í know, my friend. You have taught him to
feci that a trade was too low. and forming too hard.
and now ho is ball spoilt for being successful ¡n anything*^
11 wish 1 could get him into a baid;"wit!i a salary—he'd tike that. I tried hard for it last week ;
hut they ask such an awful sum for bonds ; I don't
new what ¡hat's for.'
'Mr. 1!., you sometimes pray for yourself and
your children, 'Lead us not into temptation'—but
here you are, trying to get your only sou into a
situation where the temptations and the facilities
for dishonesty arc so great that those best acquainted with the business Hud it necessary to put every
one under heavy bonds before he can be twsted
with it. Now, my good friend, take my advice and
keep your son with you. He need not'dig and
delve' as Bard as you say you have done, and make
such haste to be rich, for you have made a large
property; but learn him to work reasonably and
take the comfort of it as he goes along; not put
oil enjoying if till old age. This is the secret of
happiness. l A little with c.onte?itmcnt is great gain;'
just as good as great wealth.'—Pittsjield Ci'dt iva -

Art of a Yanltee Painter.
-V person who kepi W) iun hy Hie roadside, wenl
to a painter, who lora time had setup his easel
not a hundred miles from Ontario, and inquired
for what sum the painter would paint him a bear
far a signboard. It was to be a real good one,
lhat would attract customers.
"Fifteen dollars,"replied tbe painter.
■■That's loo much," said the iukecper ; "Tom
f.ark-ins will do it for ten."
The painter cogitated for a moment. He did
not like lhat his rival should get a commission in
preference to himself, although it was only for a
signboard.
"is il to be a wild, or tame hear?'' he inquired.
'■A wild one. to be sure."
'■With a chain, orwilhoutoue ?" again asked the
painter
'•Without a chain."
"Well, 1 will paint you a wild bear, without a
chain, for tea dollar*^1
The bargain was struck, the painter set to work,
and in due time sent home the signboard, on which
he li d painted a hug.' brown bear of a moss ferocious aspect. The signboard was the admiration
j ol all Ihe neighborhood, and drew plenty of CUS-
1 turners to the inn; and the innkeeper knew not
whether to congratulate himself more upou the
thc possession of so attractive sign, or on having
seoured.it for ihe small sum of ten dollars.
Time slipped on, his barrels were emptied and
iiis pockets tilled.     Kverything went on thrivingly
for three wei-ks, when one night there arose one
of those violent si onus of rain and wind, thunder
and lightning^ which are so common in North America, and which pass over with almost aa much rapidity as they rise.
When tbe iunkeepw ofton nexi morning, the sun
was shining, the birds singing, and all traces of
the storm had passi daway. .1 ie looked up anxiously to asc ¡gn was safe.
There it wan, sore enough, swinging to and fro
as usual. Imt the lioai* had disappeared. The innkeeper could hardly believe his eyes ; full ofanger
and surprise, lie ran to thc painter and related
what had happened. The painter looked uo coolly
from his work.
"Was It a wild bear, or a tame one ?"
"A wild bear."
"Was it chained, or not?"
"I guess not."
"Then," cried (he painter triumphantly, "how
could you expect a wild beat to remain in sucha
storm as that oí last night without a chain?"
The innkeeper had nothing to say against so conclusive argument, aud finally agreed to give thc
painter fifteen dollars to paint him a wild bear
with achato, that would not take to thc woods
inthc next storm.
For the benclit of the unprofessional readers, it
may be necessary fo mention that the rogueish
painter had painted the first bear in water colors,
which had been washed away by the rain ; tho second bear was painted in oil colors, and was therefore able to withstand the weather.

Jkw Mkhcjunt.s.—There are so many French
anoGerman Jewg, now, amone; the merchants of
W.v Voik. tliul; R.Jewish feast or faat day, pro-
duces a marked dullness in the market, on account
of the absence of so many operators. It is wonderful how the -Tew traders, as a class, thrive the world
over, and no oppression or extortion can drive
them from any land. Under the most tyrannical
exactions and contributions, in every ago and
every country, they huve steadily pursued their
schemes of gain and tratlic; (md while in past ages
they have everywhere been despised, persecuted
and plundered, yet after ali they have made secret
accumulations of gold, which havo rendered it
necessary for many of the highest cank in society,
princes and potentates, an well as thc humblest
classes, compelled to raise money, to resort to them
and pay them roundly for pecuniary aid.
IL is tliis ¡iropensity and tiie successful development of it, which, uuder Providence, has been used
to keep the Jews, for nearly 2098 years, a distinct
and independent race, notwithstanding they have
no land, no home, and apparently nothing to pre-
ent them from becoming merged speedily with
the people among whom they have been scattered.
II. is seldom you will find a poor Jew, though many
of them outwardly appear poor and arc extremely
frugal in their habits. Every Jew takes to trade
as readily as a young duck to the water, and lie is
almost successful, indeed, in all our inquiry on
thc subjenfc , we have found but a very fow who
were unsuccessful, and they were uniformly dishonest persons, whose animal appetites led them to
more profuse expenditure than the race generally
indulges in, however strong may be the animal ana
sansoat propensities of auy of it-*, members.
As a class, the Jews are qnite as honest, perhaps
more so, than the traffickers ofany other race. They
are often hard, and exact in the literal fulfilment
of the letter of the bond, even tothe pound of tiesh,
where tlie power resta with them, Imt this is not
by any means uniformly the ease, and there are
many brilliant examples ofgenerosity among them,
as signal as those of thc Touros of Newport ami
Xcw Orleans. Probably many of the hard cases
among them have been made so by the hnrsh dealings whieh they themselves and their ancestors
have received.
TJpitiiiiiT Mkx.—We love upright men. Pull them
this way and the other, and they only bend, but
never break. Trip them down, and in a trice they
arc on their feet again. Bury them in thc mud, and
in au hour they would be out and brigbt. You
cannot keep them down—you cannot destroy tliem.
They are the salt of thc earth. Who but they start
any noble project? They build our cities, whiten
the ocean witfe their sails, and blacken the heavens with the smoke of their cars. Look to them,
young men, and catch the spark of their energy.
j?.?r "Old ago is coming upon mc rapidly." as
the boy said when lie was stealing apples from an
old man's garden, and saw the owner coming in
that direction with a cow-hide iu his hand.
