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 - tor. 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. _\t\\s Word iMmlisnitcnts. !J?;iu Jraittka ^Éet&tmtafe. «y ltoyal Litter* Pntent.

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.
