Threw Up His Job.

There is an amusing story told of a boy who was hired as a domestic and told that he would be dismissed If he broke any of the ehina that was under his charge. On the morning of a great dinner party he was entrusted (rather rashly) with a great load of plates, which he was to carry upstairs from the kitchen to the dining-room, and which were piled up and rested on his hands. In going upstairs his foot slipped, and the plates were broken to atones. He at once went to the drawingroom, puAiis head in at the door, and shouted: "The plates are all smashed and I’m away.” . —— ■.. . Unsought fame is a testimony of legitimate work. In it there is no vanity. ' With many people it is as difficult to live within their income as without it.
