Bat Ah, that tut"'! It ia as troublesome aa the if" which spoil, 0 many good thing?. AVculd the boys like to hear the story? I began wi'.h a formidable pieco of ordnance an eighty-one grain gun. It was an old key thai 1 hd picked up somewhere, and I tell you it cade a very good miniature cauuvu. i n; UiVio i.uai Jl Ik bum Ui my first pair of boots, for I hid manufactured i. nnaelf. I felt that I had converted a useless old piece of iron into a weapon of modern warfare. At the end of the tube I filed a priming hole, fastened it to a wooden gun-carriage, and a jolly good barg I got out of it. Larger keys followed, and then brass cannon mounted on wheels, until somehow or other I got pos sessed i can t remember how of a moneter cannon.

Various err all trial charge hai bn set off, cr.til, oa the Fouith of July it w&3 dj'e:mined by a select committee on heavy ordinance, assembled in my fiiher'a garden, that in the evening an experiment ahjald b9 made that -would determine once for all its full powers. "We had hai a good deal of fua of one kind and another all day, but for me nothing waa cce-half as interesting as that canncn. It eeeraed as if all the other boys in the neighborhood thought so too, for -when the critical hour arrived there was something over two dozen of us in the garden. "VV'o formed & circle around my cannon, acd the business of loading bsgaa. A fire poker was secured for a ramrod, and a real geed charge waa rammed home. Ia the excitement of the moment the poker w&a left in the cannon! A heap cf soil at the 6nd of the garden -waa chosen as the ''earthwork," oa which our big gun was fixed, pointing upward, though unnoticed by us, point blank at the parlor -windows. A small heap of shavings was put around the weapon, and one waa appointed to light it. "To cover!" at once was the order, and (KCh one rushed to a safe place. I tremble at this moment when 1 remember that, a second before the explosion, the inevitable srcall boy rushed from one cover to another right in front of the cannon's mouth. What ataDgl and1 what a crash! Oh, horror! Four panes of glass gone at once, the window-frame broken, and We did not act the coward and fly. Ne, boys, never turn coward if you get into a scrape and few boys of spirit but do sometimes get into one. h tan d your ground, boys, and bear or pajMtakveris fairly earned. Some of us stood our ground until father appeared. He had been a toy himself once, and though he looked very serious he did not scol-i us. At the first brush it was st down to atmospheric concussion, but on further investigation it was found that the brickwo2K was chipped and the wcod-work broken; Btd, worse still, inside the parlor was fourd the fatal poker doubled up, having ju3t escaped a splendid crystal chandelier hanging in the middle of the rcom. IIow crest-fallen I feit acd leokedl . Father said that to remind tue of the necessity of care in handling euch a dangerous toy, I should pay for two of the panes. You can imagine I was glad not to be more severely punished. That cannon was never again fired by me. The hairbreadth escape of that s -nail boy haunts me even now. I have never fired a gun in my life; but for experimental purposes I have handled the strongest explosive, including the notorious dynamite; yet never in my life has such a thrill passed through me as did when I realized the almost miraculous escape of my playmate, when the doubled-up projectile was picked cp on our parlor floor.

"Well, that is strange, for they are vjry famous fellows, I assure you. If you ware to go to Brighton, In England, you wou'd soon know all about them. They are trained pussies, and they are not only very good actors, but, what is more pleasant still, they seem to enjoy their own performances very much. Their master loves them doarly, and every day they jump on his shoulders, and rubbing their soft cheeks against his beard, purr gently, as if to say, "Ah, master dear, if it were not for you, how stupid we should be! You have taught us everyihing." Then the master laughs and strokes them, before he sets them at work. At last his quick command is heard Pussies, attention!" Down they jump, their eyes flashing, their ears twitching and eager, their very tails saying "Aye, ayo, sir." "Pimpkins, to workl"' Pimp kins is a painter; that U, he has learned to bold palette brushes and mall stick in cne hand, and a brush in the othsr, which you'll admit is doing very well for a pus3y. With his master's holp.heis soon in position, perched upon a stool and painting away for dear life on the canvas before him. There is always a very queer looking picture on the esBel unfinished, and pussy daubs away at it when visitors are by; but when asked whether be did it all or not, he keeps very still, and so does his master. ilctctime the two other pussies, whom we must know as Tib and Miss Alollit, obeying a motion from the master, set themselves at the table, and begin a lively game at chess. The chessmen etad ia proper order 9t fret, and both pussiea look at them with an air of unconcern. Socn Tib moves his man. Then llif3 Mcffit moves hers. On comes Tib again, this time moving two man at once. Instantly MofSt moves three. The game now grows scrioc8. ilollit's men press so thickly oi Tib's that suddenly he gives all of them a shove, and Miss MoCit is check-mated! Alter this all the pussies are, perhaps, requested to wash for their masteis, and they do it, too, in fine style, though, Tib and Pimpkins generally squabble for a bath in tie tub, while Mias Mo Hit hangs the clothos cn the line to dry. After work comes play. Miss Modi and Pimpkins have a little waltz, un l Tib slides down the balusters. Sometimes Tib amuses hirrself by drawing the cork from hi3 master's ale bettle. And then if the foaming ale happens to by unusually lively, it makes a leap for Tib, and Tib rubs his nose with his paw for half an hour afterward. Are they ever naughty? Yes, indead. Bat even then their good master is gentle with them, fle never whip3 thom.but simply looks injured atd orders them to 4do penance." Poor Tib and Moffit for they are generally tbe naughty one how they hate this! Bat they never think of such a thing as escaping the punishment. No, indeed; they jump upon a chair at once, and, shutting their eyes siand two images of misery until their master sajs they may get down. They're too wise to be right." said an old apple-wciran one day, as she looked at the. ' it's onnatural cuttin5 about and actin' like ('hristains as they do.'' The Carpenler'a Trade. I James I'atton, in Youth's Companion. I asked an excellent carpenter, a fjw d8js ago, what was the chief quality a bjy mutt poscss ia order to become a good workman, lie answered without an instant's hesitation "Aptitude." 'Bat,'' said I, ' how can you or the boy himpelf tell whether he has aptitude or not?" 'Well," said he, after duly scratching his wig, -one of the first things a boy wants to do, who has in him the making of a good carpenter, is to hammer, whittle, saw and chop, lie likes to watch men who are at work with tool?, and he has a great deal of curiosity about the tocls themselves. By the time ha

is twelve years of age, unless all his native sense and ingenuity have been schooled out ti him, he will make a very good dog-house, tird-csge and rabbit trap; put up a very rc3pec'able shelf for his mothor in the store room, and knock together a pretty good shed or summer house for his sisters in the gnrdtn. He has a sort of relish for work and tco's." Sue h is the boy for a carpenter. The advantages of carpentering are so obviau3, and (emu slight degree of skill in it is so easily acquired, that it continually attracts the wrong boys aa well aj the right ones. Ia these days of sharp competition, the mn thrives best w ho can do things which few can 0, or can.do common things in a superior way. If, therefore, you do not perceive in yourself any Eigns of "aptitude" for the carpenter's trade; if you have no ''relish' for good work and ingenious tools; if you have not something ot the mechanic's peculiar patience, or power ot keeping on without fret or worry, it is better to avoid the bench and try something which does not require these qualities. Let us suppose, however, that, after proper censideration, vou have made up your mind to be a carpenter. IIow are you "to get into the trade? A boy now, in a country place, on coming cut of school at sixteen years ot age, eetsin to carpentering in a very simple way. He stopj at a carpenter's shop and says perhaps to the master "1 have worked vrilh carpenter's tools a little. My cousin is a carpenter, and I have been round his shop a good deal. Can you give me a job?'' If it is a busy time, and the master wants hands, he will try him for a day; 'feel of him," as a carpenter expressed it, "to find cut what he is made of." He will set the lad to helping a man make a picket-fence, one operation of which ia digging holea tor poets. Cften, the first hole the boy digs de-, cides his fate. If he has "gumption," the hole will have two qualities that win reEpect. First, it will be straight; secondly, the minimum of earth will be displaced in digging it. An unhandy boy will throw out four times the amount of dirt nece33&ry; he will scatter that dirt all around; and after all the post may not stand upright in the hole. The boy that digs his first holeia that way is very likely to be told at the close of the day, that he ia not wanted the neit. He may be set to nailing on pickets, a very simple matter; only they must be put on straight, just so far apart, and just so high. A careful boy, alter nailing oa six pickets under the eve of an experienced man, will rjQafc.3 no more mistakes. He will soon learn to do easy work with certainty and rapidity. Iiis merits will at once attract attention, because steadiness and patience are among the rarest qualities shown by boys of sixteen or seventeen; and what an employer most wants is men who can be trusted to carry on a piece of work without t uperintendence. I heard a carpenter say recently If a young fellow asks me for a job, I lcok him over first of all. and if I like his lcois, I mark two or three boards, g!ve him a saw, and tell him to saw them off. If he saws straight I begin to think there's some thing in him, and so I do even if 1 only see that he tries hard to saw straight, though he

may sot hit it. Everything ia our

trade is done by trying. When I see a toy that can try, I feel like giving him a hance." If a young man proves capable of doing the easy work of a carpenter, such as nailing the rough boards on the side of a house, he can earn at once one dollar and twenty-five cents a day, which he can increase to one dollar and fifty cents by the time he has been at work six months. I am speaking now of average country places, not of large cities like New York and Boston. In the course of two or three years, a wideawake youcg man, handy with tools, and always trjing his best, can earn the highest wages ordinarily paid to a journeyman carpenter, two dollars and fifty cents a day. When he is competent to be a foreman, and take entire charge of an important piece of work requiring several hands, he may receive from three to four dollars a day, though the latter rate is n jt common except in cities. "What does carpentry lead to? This is a very interesting question to ambitious youth, who naturally and properly look forward to a fair advancement in life, and wish to spend toe evening of their days in peace and dignity. In country towns the most natural isue of carpentry is building and architecture. I know myself a boy who wa3 deliberately placed in a carpenter's shop by his parents as a step towards the profession of architecture, and after working three or four j cars at plain carpentry (with lessons in diawisg) he established himself as an architect in a southwestern city. He there formed a paitnership with a builder, and .hey soon Lad their hards lull of business. Many carpenters have inventod new tools, new melhtcls, n w devices, and thus made thoir way to a large bus ine.. U:her3 invest tleir savings (ekitg them out wi:h eome cted t) in a set of machinery for making büke's, sash, doers, skds, stair-rails, or mouldirge, and send the product of the tame all over tbe country. In New York, Boston and Philadelphia, there are men who began lifo at the workman's bench, and now have shops in which all euch articles are manufactured on the greatest scale and with wonderful economy both of material and power. Thore is such a shop in Boston, in which cne hundred ment rided by a steam-engine of sixty-horse power, manufacture sis much carpenterwork as five thousand men could accompliih by the labor of thoir hands alone. It is a museum of wonders. (Ja walking over it 1 was reminded of a remark made by John (juincy Adams upon returning from a rnsnu factory in Russia. 1 ought," said he, "to visit a manufac tory ence a week inorder to learn my own ignorance.'' It really takes jour breath away to S33 tho rapidity and certainty with which such operations as sawing, mortising, dove-tailing, groving and polishing are done by the machines in thi3 establishment, which I suppose Carlyle would call an explosion of all tbe carpenteries. There are not many men in the world who can create, or even conduct, an establifiment like this, because it requires a combination oi faculties and talent such as are seldom found in the same individual. But in many a quiet country place there are carpenters who take pleasure and pride in their work; who have built for themselves nice little house?, filled them with beautifully-made furniture, and established a limited but sudciont business. Theso are among the mott fortuue of mechanics and men. They do not reckon their iacome in thousands, but their warts are few and modorate; they take a holiday when they need one. They bring up their children to be good citizens, and they have aa inexhaustible eatisfacticn in doing their work in the best manner. KXJTTT PKOBLOIS.

Te Soarr of Thos Uystortona Troubles That Come ta Every Household Explained. The following article from the Democrat and Chronicle, of Rochester, N. Y., is of bo striking a nature and emanates from bo reli able a source, that it ia herewith republished entire. In addition to the valuable matter it contains, it will be found exceedingly in teresting: To the Editor of the Democrat and Chronicle: Sir My motives for the publication ot the molt unusual statements which follow, are, first, gratitude for the fact that I have bee a eaved Irom a most horrible death, and. secondly, a desire to warn all who real this statement against some of the most decep tive influences by which they have ever been surrounded. It is a fact that to-dsy thousands of people are within a foot of the grave and they do not know it. To tell how 1 was caught away froiu just this position, and to warn others aga'ust nearing it, are my ooje cts in this communication. Un tue hr8t day 01 June. liSi. I lav at mv residence in this city eurrouiidel by my friends and waiting for death. Heaven only knows the agony 1 then endured, for words can never descrbe it. And yet, if a few years previous, any one had told rue that I was to be brought so low. and by so tumble a disease. I should have scoffed at the idea. I had always been uncommonly strong and nealthy, Lad weighed over 2)u pounds and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain cr sickness were. Very many people wto win read this statement realize at tiaie3 that they are unusually tired and can not account fcr it. They feel dull and indefinite pains in various parts of the body and do not understand it. Or they are exceedirg'.y hungry cue day and entirely without appetite the next. This was just the way 1 felt when tne relentless ma:ady which had fastened itself upon me tirst began. Still I thouiht it was nothing; that probably I had taken a cold which would soon pass away, baortly after this I noticed a heavy, and at times a neuralgic, pain in my head, but as it would come one day and be gone the next, I paid but little attention to it. However, ray stomach was out of order and my food failed to digest, causing at times great inconvenience. Yet I had no idea, even a a physi cian, that these things meant anything seri ous or that a nionsirous disease was becoming fixed upon me. Candidly, I thought I was suffering from Malaria and so doctored myself accordingly, lkitlgotno better. I next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids I was passing also that there were large luantitiea one day and very little the next, and that a persistent froth and cum appeared upon the surface, and a sediment settled ia the bottom. And yet I did not realise my danger, for. indeed, seeing the3e symptoms continually, I finally became accustomed to them and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact that I had no pain in the auected organs or in their vicinity. AVhy I should have btea so blind I cau cot urders'and. There is a terrible future for all physical neglect, and impending danger always brings a peison to his senses, even though it may then be too late. I realized at last my critical condition and aroused myself to overcome it. And, Oh! how hard I tried! I consulted the best medical skill ia the land. I visited all the prominent mineral springs in .America and traveled from Maine to California. Still I grew worse. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. One Baid I K&a troubled with spinal irritation; another, nervous prostration; another, malaria; another, dyspepsia; another, heart disease; another, general debility; another, congestion oi the base of the brain, and so on through a long list of common diseases, the symptoms cf all of which I really had. In this way several years pasted, during all of which lime I was steadiiy growing worse. My condition had really become pitiable. The slight symptoms I at first experienced were developed into terriole and constant disorders the little twigs of pain had grown to oaks of agony. My weight had been reduced from 207 to 130 pounds. My life was a torture to myself and friends. I could retain no food upon my stomach, and lived wholly by injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulse was uncontrollable. In my agony I frequently fell upon the tloor, convulsively clutched thecarpet, and prayed for death. Morphine had little or no efiact in deadening the pain. For six days and nights I had the death-premonitory hiccough constantly. My urine was tilled with tube casts and albumen. 1 was struggling with liri2ht's Disease of the kidneys in its last Btrges. Wniie suffering thus I received -a cill frcrn my rastor, Rev. Dr. Foote, rector of St, Paul's Church, of this city. I felt that it was cur last Interview, but in the course of enverfation he mentioned a remedy of Which I had heard much but had never used. Dr. Foote detailed to me the many remarkable cures which had come under his observation, by means of this remedy, ard urged one to try it. As a practicing physician and a graduate of the schools. I cherished the prejudice both natural and common with all regular practitioners, and derided the idea of any medieine outside the regular channels being the least beneficial. So solicitiouB, however, was Dr. Foote that I finally promised I would waive my prejudice and try the remedy be s highly recommended. I began its use on the 1st day of June and took it according to directions. At first it sickened me; but this I thought was a eood sign for me in my debilitated condition. I continued to take it; the sickening sensation departed and I was able to retain foot upon my stomach. In a few days I noticed a decided change for the better, as also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased, and I experienced le?s pain than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this Improved condition that, upon what I had believed but a few daya before was my dying bed, I vowed, ia the presence of my family and friends, should I recover I would both publicly and privately make known this remedy for the good of humanity, wherever and whenever I had an opportunity. I also determined that I would give a course of lectures in tbe Corinthian Academy of Music, in this city, stating in full the symptoms and almost hopelessness of my disease and the remarkable means by which I have been saved. My improvement was constant from that time, and in les than three months I had gained twenty-six pounds in flesh, became entirely free from pain, and I believe I owe my life and present condition whollv to Warner a riefe Cure, the remedy which I used. Since mv recovery I have thoroughly re investigated the subject of kidney di tuculties and Brigbt's disease, and the truths developed are astounding. I therefore state, de liberately, and as a physician, that I believe more than one-half the deaths which occur ia America are caused by Bright'a disease of the kidneys. This may sound like a rash statement, but I am prepared to fully verify it. Bricht's disease baa no distinctive evmptonis of its own (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity), but has the symptoms of cearlv every other known complaint, Hun dreds of people die daily, whose burials are authorized by a physician's certificate of "heart disease," "appoplexy, "paralysis, ' "spinal complaint," "rheumatism," "pneu monia." and other common diseases, when in reality it was Bright a disease of the kid neys. Few physicians, and fewer people, realize the extent of this disease or its dan trerous and insiduous nature. It steals into the pystem like a thief, manifests its presence by the commonest symptoms, and fasttns itself upon the Constitution before" the victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditary aa consumption, quite aa common, and fully as latai. entire iam ilies. inheriting it from their ancestors, have died, and yet none of the number knew or realized the mysterious power which was removing them. Instead of common symptoms it often shows none whatever, but brines death suddenly, and as such is usually suppesed to be heart disease. As one who baa suffered, and knows by bitter experience what he says, I implore every one who reads

these words not to neglect the slightest

fymptom of kidney difficulty. Certain agony and possible death will be the sure re suit of euch negltct, and no one ein aS'ord to hazard such chances. I am aware that such an unqualified state ment as this, coming from me, known as I am throughout the entire land as a prac titioner and lecturer, will aroue the sur prise and possible animosity of the medical pre feat ion, and astonish all with whom I am acquainted; but I make the foregoing statements based upon facts which I am prepared 10 produce, and truths which 1 can substan tiate to the letter. The welfare of those who may tossibly be sufferers such as I was is aa ample inducement for me to take the step I nave, end 11 1 can successfully warn others from the dangerous path in which I once walked, I am willing to endure all professional and personal consequences.
