Testing on” his plow [ola moment as he wiped his brow, when atroid witch crept LUp to himand said: “Why do you toil 80 bard, and all for nothing? Walk “Straight.before you for two days and you lf*ﬁ'ill come to a large fir tree, which stands ‘alone, towering over all the «ther trees ]'-(Df the forest. If you can but fell it your : fortune is made.” . ' The farmer did not wait to be told twice, but taking his ax on his shoulder, started o his way. After walking two days he came to the fir tree, and immediately set Lm work to feil it. Seon it toppled and ’; crashed to the earth, when from the top {? branches dropped a nest containing two ‘egos,’ The eggs rolled on the groand and - broKe ; as they broke, torth canie a yoong: eaglet from ove and a swmatl golden ring from the other. The eaglet grew visibly, ! ‘till it redched hilfl the height of 2 "man, | shook its: wings, as if to dry them, raisced itself from the ground, and then eried: i “You have released me. As a token ot iy gratitude, take the ring the other (gg E_a‘nmn.im-d it iz & wishing ring. Turn it on your finger, speak your wish sloud, and it.will innmediately be granted. Bat Cthe ring bus oniy ane wish; when that is wceomplisbed it will lose all power, god “become no-more than any other ring — [ “Pherefore reflect well on what you. wish, (for, €0 tha’ you may not have to repent afterward . - e i S

_Having so spoken, the eaglet rose biah in the alir, swept for some time, in wide -cireles aver the farmer’s head, and then, like an arrow from a bow, shot swiftly toward the east. The farmer took the ring, put it on his finger and started homeward. Toward evening he reached a town. In the door of his sbop a gold - ‘smith stood who had many valaable rings tor sale: The farmer showed bis ring, gnd asked Wim what was about the valoe ot it. L ' L 14 “Mere trompery,” answered the gold gmith. The :farmer langhed heartily, tellifg the wman it was a’ wishing ring, aud of wore value than all thie rings in his shop put tbuether, Now the goldsmith wasa false, design- . ing man, so heinvited the farmer o stay all night st his ouse, saying: It must bring cne good luck to entertain a man who is the possessor of sneh w precious jewel, 8o pray rémain with me” He sc cordingly: entertajned him well ‘with plenty of wine aud elvil words, but wien be went to eleep at night, ‘he drew his ring stealthily Trom - his finger, and put on instead a common ring quite like 1§ in appearance. . The next morning the goldsmith: conld haraly wait, with any de gree of patience, till the farmer bad taken his departore. He awoke him in the early dawn, saying: “You have so far to' go, you had better start early.” As soon as the fagmer was safe on his journey, the golusmith weunt into his room, and having closed the sbutters’ that no ‘ obe might see, he bolted himself in, and, standing in the miudle of the room, and turning the ring on his finger, exclaimed : ] wish to bave a hundred thousand { silver crowns imwmediately !” = v Hardly were the words spokep when \ bright five shilling pieces begnn to ruiu Ldnwn from the ceiling; - sbiving silver “erowny poured down 8o fast and hard - that .t last they began to beat ‘him un " mercifully abouai the head and shouldess and arms. Calling piteously for belp. he tried to rush to the door, but hefore he could reach it and unbolt it he fell bleed ing to the floor.. Still the raip of silver _crowns Aid not ceage, and soon, under g the weight of it the flooring gave way, - and the unfortunate goldsmith apd his - money fell downinto a deep cellar. "And still it rained on till the bundred thouand silver erowns were completed, and then the goldsmith lay dead in his cellar with the mass of meney apon bim™ At { tracted &t last by the noise, the neighbord rusbed to the spot, apd on finding the | goldsmith déad under his money, exclaim, ed: It is reslly ngreat misfortune when ‘ blessings rain down like cudgeis! Then the heirs enme and divided the spoils, ! Meantime the farmer went: happily home, and showed the ring to his wife, “We shall now never want for auything, dear wife,” he snid; “our fortune is made, DBut we must consider well what “we must wish for.” . - - The wife bad a- bright idea ready a‘ hand. > L

“Let us wish ourselves some more land,” said she; “‘we have but little, There is just a nice strip which streches -into our ticld. Let us wish for that” : “That would never be worth while,” replied the farmer; “we have only to work well for a year, and havea moder ate share of good Juck, and we can buy it for ourselves.” » . And the man and his wife worked hard for a whole year, and the harvest had pever been so plentiful as that au tumn, sothat they were not only able to buy the strip of land; but bad money to spare, ; _ &You see,” said the husband, “the land ig'ours and the wish too.” e Then the good woman thought it wonld be a capital thing to-wish themselves a cow and ahorse. o . : gt

“Wife,” said the busband, clinking the surplus money in his pocket: “it wounld He tolly to sacrifice our wish' for such a trumpery thing. We can got the cow and horse without that.” . | And, sure enough, in ‘another year's tijne the horse and- cow vhad been well earned. So the farmer rubbed his bands’ cheerfully, and said: ; _“Another year has passed, and still the wish is ours, and yet we have all we want; what good luck we bave!”: .. The wife. however, began to be very impatient, and tried seriously to induce her husband to wish for something ‘. “Youare not like your old -self,” she' said crossly ; “formerly you were always: grumbling and complaining, and wish. ing for all sorts of things; and now, when you might have whatever you want, - you toil and work like a slave, are pleas ed with ‘everything, and let your best years slip by. You might be king, em peror, duke, a great, rich farmer, with loads of money ; but. no—youcan’t make. up vour mind what to choose.” = ; “Pray.do ceate continually worrying and teasing me,” cried the farmer; we are both ot us young and life is long.— The ring contains but one wish, and that must not be squandered. Who knows what may happen to u« when we may. really need the ring? Do we want for anything now ? Since the ring has been ours, bave we not sy risen in the world that all men marvel at us? "So do be sensible, and amuse yourself, if you like, by thinking what we shall wish for.” And so the matter was:allowed to rest for the present, It really secemed as if the ring brought blessings on the house,’ for barns and granaries grew fuller and fullers from' year to yearjand in the courge of time the poor farmer. became’a rich and prosperous one. He worked all day with bis men.as if the whole wnr}d"‘ depefided upon it; but in the evening, ‘when theivesper ‘bell sounded, be wus to be seen sitting, contented and-well to dp, uﬁhia‘,;thxea,tholdﬁﬂ;%S!’!’.&%‘%.“ﬁ?ﬂds@wna ing” by the passers by. Now and then, ‘when they were quite alone &nd no one ‘néar to hear, the woman hgflf"témihded

ber husband of the ring, ‘and made all sorts of propositions to him. He always answered there was time enongh to think about it, and that the best idens always occurred to one last. So ghe gradually fell into the way of mentioning ‘it less often, and at last it rarely happencd that the ring was ever alluded to at all. The farmer, it is true, turned the ring on his finger twenty times a day and examined 1 cl wely, but took good care never to express the slightest wish "at the time. And so thirty-and forty years went by and the farmer and his wife grew old and their hair snow white, and still the wish remained unspcken. At last it pleased God toshow them & great mercy, and He took them to Himself hoth in one night. . Childrea and grand-children stood weeping arcund the coffins, and, as one of them tried to withdraw the ring frome the dead man’s finger, his eldest son said : ¢ e “Letour fither take his ring to the grave. There was some mystery about it Probably it was some love token, tor our mother oftén looked at the ring, too; per hapsshe gave it him when they were both .yuung\"g ] ; So the old farmer was buried with the ring whichr sheuld * baze beenra. wisking ring, but wuas not, and yet had brought as icach good -fuck:to the house as' man cpuld desire, Fdr it 18 strange, as regards the true and the false, that'a bad thing can be tnined to better account in gond hands, thana good thing in bad.—[Goed Words for the Youne. - k

Wholesate Hints to Ambitious Youth, Somé of the points raised in this dis cussion of the methods of modern young men are well stated, and the bint in the main §o wise, that the article merits re. production, and it is hoped that the ad vice at lesst may bpot be thrown away. No elose reader of the duaily news paper,. says the commentator of the Boston -Globe, can have fuiled to notice the unus “Lally large number uf advertisements jukt at” present- put forth by young men in search ofblaces. Most of theseapplicants are freshi from thie wvillages. and lesser towns of \New England, with no experi« ence -of city life,iwith little money, and dgnorant of any trade or profession ®hich may sssure them an income. They leave schools and furmers und seek the city with & vague idea that where so'much, is .to be done there will be no difffcultyrin seeuring something to do. How mista - ken that ides, and bow bitter the disappointinent consequent upon the experi mient, handreds of fien whe read these sentences can testify, There is still another class=—young me=n- who, have been ratsed 1m cothparative indolence and uselessness, who turs to the professions’or the uncertain field of “luck” for something apon which - to subsist from day to day, or upon which to establish a business for futare comfort or independence, Not one in ten of this class of young men can : be found engaged in the mechunical arts ‘or manufactares, where intelligence and application are mneeded mbré than anywhere else in the pursuitsof life. This digposition to ignore labor or to exercise the brain functions is not hereditary, for, Cin the majortity of cuses, their fathers had [ to work, and those incompetent young “tnen are indebted to hard muscle and un. ceasing ‘toil for the little they have to boest, or upon which they proposeto build a fortarfe nnd reputation without capital or labor. They are simply mistwken. Their education, instead of being at the bench, the case or' the anvil, where they had an opportunity to tealize the value of -a doldar‘earned, and were able to ap'pn(:late the benefity of advaneement in mechanical pursnits—was given them io-the superficial manner ‘of the times, which begets neither skill nor success, and they are consequently unprepuared for any pursuit except the professinns—which are always too foll of average men—and the mercan tile liné, 1n which thoussnis areevery vear tailing. It does not oceur, perbaps, to these’ young men that ninety jper eent. of all the people who ever engaged in buying and selling have either ended in bankruptey or achieved very limited suecess jor that but sixty per cent. of those - who enter the protessiens fail to earn a subsistence for themselves, nnd that but vne-third of the remaining forty per cent ‘teully succeed, while'a skilled mechanic or. artisan was never known to fail so badly ong day that he could not re establish ‘himself the nexe. Yet they will devote ‘weiks-months and years to an idie, uncertain life in the hope of some day makivg a “ten strike,” which will lead them to fortune in the end: It 1s a great mistake—a grievous error. To be accom ‘plishied in anything, fio matter how humble, is better than to fail 10 any of the professions, becauee one who is master of

his buginess never fails to find remunera. tive employment or to command respect. The prospect for wealth and position, to dayis brighter tol any young man of ability and ambition who will learn well and thoroughly a good trade than for any one who attempts tocrowd into the pro fessions, Lol o The country is-sadly in want of mechanics who comtine skill with: inteli gence. Not a workehop or manufactory can be found to day | where they arc not needed. Not a manudfacturing or mechan ical establishment exists in the country which is not deficient, some way or other in- skilled assistance. It is the skiliful mechanic who is: most in demand, and hente none of them areto be found who are not profitably employed. Wealth is rapidly accumulated by such men; who devote themselves to the various mechanical pursuits, or to production of articles which are regarded in the sense of neces: sities by the community. The pressing demand of-the day is not for men of mere ornament, but for those who, by the labor of band and brain combined, are able to make capital produetive. Our advice, to the class alluded to in our opening paragraph: is £ earnestly and at once ap ply themselves to'the acquisition of such knowlege as:will enable them to supply the ever increasing demaud tor skilled labor, thereby not only lsying the toundation for future/personal prosperity, but at the same time rendering & high and permanent benéfit to the community.— Ee. i : S 0

A Good Bil). | ° .One of the most fruitful sources of intemperance, especially 'in small -~ towns where there areno liéensed saloons, is the sale of intoxicating liquors by druggist, Half the.druggists in the State, perhaps, are in-the habit of selling whisky to their customers in violation of the spirit, if not the letter of the law. .To meet and correct this evil, a bill has been introduced in the House by Mr. Jones, which con tains some néw: .provisions. It forbidsthesale of intoxicating liguors by drugs gists in less quantities than one guart, or to be drank on the premises. It requires droggists to keep a book in which shall ‘be registered the narmes of all persons pur, chasing such lignors, the kipd of liquors purchised, and tbe declared object for ‘which it 1s to be nsed. He is required to give bond for the proper conduct of his ‘business in this respect. *While the tem: perance leaders are after the saloon keep - ers, who deal out. destruction agreeably to the laws of the State, it 8 worth ~while for them to strike. a blow at. those who are doing the sime businéss in an illegal way.— Crawfordsnille Journal,

The reasons for this exodus, says. the Chlcag’p, Tribune, are partly political. and. partly social. The owners of land ‘in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and othér States, are _poor; their land ‘biag, in many cases, been impoverished, and -they: liave not the weans of improving it.
