The Reward or Courtesy.

A TRUE ACCOUKT. A few years since on a radiant Spring afternoon, two men, who appeared to be forek'ners, stopped before the ijate of one of 9 . i, , 0lli Iark'Q work shops in Phi adelplm, for ö 1 r the manufacturo of locomotive engines. E iteriog a small office, the elder of the two men inquired of tho superintendent in atteodenoe if he would permit them to inspect the works. You can pass in and look about, if yeu pleas;' laid tho superintendent, vexed apperently.at being interrupted in the peraual of his newspaper. He then scanned the two strangers more closely. They were respectably but plainly clad, and evidently made no pretensions to official dignity of any kind. 4Is there any one who can show us over the establishment and explain matters to U3? asked Mr. Wolfe, the eldest of the strangers. You must pick your own way, gentlemen replied the Superintendent, 'wo re ail too busy to attend to every partythat comes along. I'll thank you not to interrupt the workmen by asking questions It was not so rauch the mattar as the manner of his reply, that was ofitnaive to Mr. Wolfe and his compaion. It was spoken with a certain official assumption of superiority, mingled with contempt for the visitors, indicating a haughty selfish temper on the part of the speaker. 'I think t will not trouble you said Mr. Wolfe, bowing; and taking his companion's arm they walked out. 'If there is anything I dislike, it is incivility said Mr. Wolfe, when they were in the street. 'I do not blame the man for not wishing to show us over his establishment, he is no doubt annoyed and interrupted by many heedless visitors, but he might have dismissed us with courtesy. He might have sent us away better content with a gracious refusal than with an ungracious consent Perhaps we shall have better luck here said tho other stranger; and they stopped before another workshop of a similar kind. They were received by a brisk little man, the head clerk apparently, who in reply to their request lo be shown over the establishment, answered 'Oh, yes! come with me, gentlemen. This way.' So saying he hurried the area strewed with iron bars, broken and rusty heaps of iron, and fragments of old cylinders, into the principal workshop. Here, without stopping to explain any one thing, ha led the strangers along with the evilent intention of getting rid of them as soon a3 possible. When they paused where workmen were riveting tho external casting of a boiler, the clerk looked at his watch, tapped his foot against an iron tube; and showed other signs of impatience. Whereupon Mr. Wolfo romarked We will not detain you longer sir,' and with his friend took leave. 'This man is an improvement on the other said Mr. Wolfe: 'but all the civility he has is on the surface; it does not come from tho heart. We must look further. The strangers walked on for nearly a half a mile in silence, when one of them pcinted to a picture of a locomotive engine with a train of cars underneath. It overtopped a small building, not more than ten feet in hight, communicating with a yard and a workshop. 'Look said the observer, 'here is a machinest whose name is not on our list. Probably it was thought too small a concern for our purpose said his companion. 'Nevertheless lot us try it said Wolfe. They entered and found at the desk a middle aged mtn, whose somewhat grimmy aspect and apron around his waist, showed that he divided his labors between his workshop and counting-room. 'We want to look over your works, if you have no objection. It will give me great pleasure to show you all that is to be seen said the mechanic, with a pleased alacrity, ringing 1 bell and tcllnfj the boy who entered to take charge of the office. lie then led tho way, and explained to tho strangers the whole process of constructing a locomotive engine. He showed them how the various parts of the mechinery wert manufactured, and patiently anwered all their questions, lid told them of an improved way of tubing boilers, by which the power of generating steam was increased, and showing with what care ho provided for security from bursting. Two hours passed rapidly away. The strangers were delighted with the intelligence displayed by tho mechanic, and with his frank, attentive and unsuspicious manners. 'Here is a man that loves his profession so well, that he takes pleasure in explaining its mysteries to all who can understand The m thought Mr. Wolfo. 'I am afraid wo have givu you a great deal of trouble said tho other stranger. Indeed, gentlemen, I have enjoyed your

visit said the mechanic, 'and I shall be glad to see you again Perhaps you may said Mr. Wolfe, and the strangers departed. Five months afterwards, as the mechanic, whose means were quite limiied, sat in his office meditating how hard it was to get business by s.ich large establistments as were his competitors, the two strangers entered. He gave them a hearty welcome, handed chairs, and they set down. 'We come said Mr. Wolfe, 'with a proposition to you from the Emperor of Russia From the Emperor? Impossible?' Here are our credentials But gentlemen said the now agitated mechanic, what does this mean? How have I earned such an honor?' Tho mtchanic visited St. ' Petersburg, and soon after moved the whole establishment there. He had imperial orders for as many locomotive engines as he could construct. He has lately returned to this country, and is still receiving large returns from his Russian workshops. And all the prosperity grew out of his unselfish civiliiity to two strangers, one of whom was the secret agent of Czar of Russia. Simply by your straightforward courtosy and frankness, combined with professional intelligence said Mr. Wolfe. 'Bocause we were strangers, you did not think necessary to treat us with distrust orcoldnsss. You saw that we were in earnest in acquainting ourselves with your works and did not ask us, before extending to us your civilities, what letters of introduction we brought. You measured u by the spirit wo showed, and not by the dignities we could have exhibited

Wouldn't Marry any ITIcchanic. A young man commenced visiting a young woman, and appeared to be well pleased. One evening he called when it was quite lar, which led the young lady to inquire wh'jre it was ho had been. I had t. work to night What! do you work for a living? she inquired m astonishment. Certainly'replied tho young man; I am mechanic I dislike the name of a mechanic and 6he turned up her nose. That was the last lime the vouncr mechanic visited the young woman. He is now a rich man, and has one of the best women in the country for his wife. The lady who disliked the name of a mechanic, is now the wife of a miserable fool; a regular vagrant about grog shops; and ehe verdant, silly, miserable girl, is obliged to take in washing to suppor herself and children. You dislike the name of mechanic, eh? You whose brothers are but well dressed loafers? We pity any girl who has so little brains, who is so verdant, so soft, as to think less of a young man for being a mechanic one of God's nobleman the most dignified and honorable personages of heaven's creatures. Beware young lady, how you treat youag men that work. for a living, for you may be menial to one of them yourself. Far better discharge the well fed pau per with all his rings, jewelry, brazer.ess and pomposity, and take to your affections the callous handed and industrous mechanic. Thousands have bittely regretted their folly, who have turned their backs to honesty. A few yeats have taught them a severo lesson. JCSrSuccEss to 111K Steam Plow'. The Statu Board of Agriculture of Ulinios offered a premium of 85.000 for steam plows. It was expected that three diuerent inversions would be exhibited and testod at thj State Fair, but only one was on the ground. That was Fawke's locomotive steam plow, Lancaster, Pennylvania, which excited great interest among the praitier farmers, and performed well. The machine and nparatus, with fuel and water, weigh only about seven tons and by the use of a dram or a barrel shaped driver for propelling tho locomotive, tho difficulty of miring in soft soil, and slipping on hard, smooth ground, is over come. The steam plow is easily managed, and is described as a cross between a locomotive mid tender, combining the essential elements of both, mounted on two guiding wheels and a huge roller. The pniirio ground on which it was tried, was baked as hard nearly as a brick, but iho engine turned six furrows side by side in the most workman likemanner. The excitement of the crowd was beyond control and l,,e'ir outs and wild huzzas echoed far over the prauie. Philadelphia Ledger. iiiainplc. Every man, in whatever station, has, or endeavor to have, his followers, admirers and imitators, and has therefore the inilueneo of his example to avoid not onlycrimes, but the appearance of crimes, and notonlj to practise virtue, but to applaud, countenance and support it; for it is possible, for want of Attention, we may teach other's faults from which ourselves are free, by a cowardly desertion of a cause which we ourselves approve may pervert those who fix their eyes upon us. and having no rule to guido their course, are easily misled by tho aborrattons of that example which they choose for their directions.

Jlr. Thiers and his Schoolmaster. M. Thiers has been entertaining his friends with an anecdote of himself. In the course of a journey he stopped one evening at the little town of Luxemburg, The burgomaster came forward to do him honor, and by tho way of complimenting him, mentioned that an aged man, a Mar8eilla3, had performed the duties of schoolmaster in the town forabove twenty years. Thiers asked the namo of tho old man, and was answered Mar gas. The ex-minister desired to be introduced to him, when the following dialogue ensued. Thiers commenced: 'Do you know me?' No, sir You don't remember little Adolphe Thiers, one of your scholars at Marseilles?' 'Wait; wait; yes, I no recollect Buch a name; a sly little monkey who used to play such pranks Just so?' And is it you? I am very glad to see you. Have you made your fortune?' Sufficiently so, I thank you So much the better. I am an old man, and cannot return to my country; but when you return to Marseilles, take my complimonts to all who know mo Thiers promised the old man he would, and then enquired in a homely way, how he was getting on. Not very fast; scholars aro rare Thiers slipped a few pieces of gold into his hand, and was about to retire, when Margas said: Pardon my curiosity; I should liko to know what you have heen doing. Are you notary, merchant, or banker?' 'I have retired from business, but have been Minister Protestant?' cried the old man. And such is glory!' said Adolphe Thiers, when he had terminated his anecdote.

Smart Boy 'Well, whose pigs are those?' Old "sow's sir Whose sow is it?' 'Old mau,8 sir Well then, who, is your old man sir?' 'If you'll mind the pegs I'd run home and ask the old women.' Never mind, sonny. I want a smart Boy what can you do?' I can milk tho sxese, ride tho turkeys to water, hamstring the grasshopper, light fires for the flies to court by. cu the buttons off dad's coil when he is at prayers, keep tally for dad and mam when they scold at a mark old women is alwa ys ahead. "Got any brothers?' Lost of 'em all named Bill, except Bob; his name is Sam. My name's Larry, but they call mo Lazy Lorernco for shortness.' Well you are most too smart for me 'Travel on, old-dick-iu-thc-mud, Ishant hire you for a boss to-day The Spirit of "76' When the news of the fall of Tionderoga reached Exeter, John Langdon, who was Speaker of the Provincial Legislature of New Hampshire, then in session, seeing the public credit exhausted, and his comprtiots discouraged, roso and said: 'I liavo a thousand dollars in hard money; I will pledge my plate for three thousand more; I have seventy hogsheads of Tobago rum, which will be sold for the most it will bring. These are at the service of tho State. If we succeed in defending our firesides and homes, I may be remune rated; if wo do not, then tho property will be of no value to me. Our friend Stark, who so nobly maintained the honor of our State at Bunker Hill, may be safely entrusted with the honor of the enterprise, and will check the progress of Burgoyne It is well known that from this noble oflr sprang tho gallant little army of Starke's that covered itself with glory at Bennington. These were the deeds that make our history venerable, and consecrated tho Revolution. An Eoitor's Lifb. We have sometime thought that wo had a busy time of it but wo :knock under to the editor of the Ocuala (Fla) Companion who gives the following account of Ins labors: Hard Work for Hot Weather. During tho last three weeks tho Editor of this paper has set all the typo, made up the forms, worked press, folded the papers and mailed them, and attend to all his editorial duties, superintending the getting out of timbers, and shingles for two houses, putting up 220 feet of palings, and regularly conducting the business of a general commission merchant. Whew ! how hot it is ! Editors, clerks and others will learn with pleasure, that to take ink out of linen, you have only to tike a piece of tallow, melt it, and dip the spotted part of the linen into the melted tallow; tho linen may bo Trashed, and the spot will disappear withejt injuring the linen. The Postmaster General has ordered that all persons employed. either as clerks in post offices or as mail carriers, shall hereafter take the oath of office, and that no one be admitted to serve in either capacity under 6ixteen years of age.

j Modestt. There was a meeting of the

flowers, and a judge was appointed to award the prize of beauty. Who will win the prize?' asked the rose, rushing forward in blushing beauty, in full assurance of its winning worth. Who will win the prize?' asked the rest of the flowers, a3 they came forward, each couscious of its attraction and each equally sure of receiving tho reward. 'I will take a peep at the assemblage thought tho violet, not intending to make ono of the company, 'and see the beauties as they pas3, Just as it was raising its modest head from its humble and retiring corner, and was looking in upon the meeting, the judge roso to render his decree. 'To the Violet said he, 'I award the prixo of beauty, for there i no trait more rare none more enchantmgly beautiful than Modetty. It's a solemn thing to bo married said Aunt Barbara. Yes, but it is a great dsal raoro solemn thing not to be eaid her niece, a lovely girl of seventeen. If a person complains of the town in which he lives, the presumption is that he is despised in it. Loquacious mouths are liko badly managed banks they make large pretensions on no solid capital. You a lways lose your temper when you are in my eompany said an individual of doubtful reputation to a gentleman. True, sir, and I should not wonder if I lost every thing else about me The Cincinnati papers contain advertisements of Christian' boarding houses, aad 'professing Christians' who desire situations as clerks, etc. S3T A man who allocs himself to use vulgar or profane words has not only shown that there is a foul spot on his mind, but in the utterance of them, he extends the spot and inflames it, till, by in dulgenoe, it will pollute and ruin tho whole soul. Be careful of your words as well as your thoughts. If you can control your tongue so that no improper words be pronounced by it, you will soon bo able to control tho mind, and save it from corruption. JtT A correspondent of the Lewiston Journal, writing of the Oldtown Indians, says: A young lady of tho tribe ono day in the cars, was asked by a rowdy if she would not like to marry a white man?' 'No,' was her ready reply, 'because a good white man does not want to marry me, and a poor scamp like you I wont have. The rowdy left at tho next station. JCT The Boston True American says Wo have a carrier connected with our office, who is between the ago of thirteen and fourteen, who occupies a seat in the highest class of our public chools, has the geography of the country at his finger's ends, and who can cypher arounu a oevy of schoolmasters, and in two and a half years more (which will make him sixteen,) he will probably read Cicero aad Homer to DOOl. xJUl in auuuiou iu ins aouiroments at school, ho has 300 in tho Sa ving's bank, drawing five per ceut. interest, and is daily adding thereto; ftll gathered together by soiling newspapers between school hours. lNo man should be delicate about askine- for what is due him. If ho neirlects doing so, ho 13 deficient m that spirit ol f .... independence which be should ooscrve in all his actions. Right3 aro rights, and, if not oranted. should be demanded. The selfish world is little inclined to givo ono hit own unless we have the manliness to ask it. Ihe lack of the proper fulfilment of this principlo has lost to many fortune, fame and reputation.
