Hore is the test ¢o which the youngster is @dbjocted, as selited by the second engi- meer of the ship:-- " Now, my lad,' say the mate, in a hard wuare kind of voice, that made every word seem like fitting a stone into s wall, ' you ace that "sre rope!

About two weeks ago, a lady in Brook. lyn was on {he eve of moving to s distant country, and enquired of a friend where she could obtain a washerwoman for a few days. She was directed to No.--street. Towards even ng the lady songht the given street and number, and ringing 'he first oor bell, the door was opened by s plain- 'Is Mrs. Beut in 7 enquired the lady. 'lam Mrs. Bent, she replied, in a "1 called around 10 ses if you would come and wash for m. to-morruw I" said the lady, in-s-hslf apologetic tons, for it seemed such a strange thing to ask the woman fo do; but Mrs. Bent answered easily and naturally, 'I am not engaged, and will be there promptly at seven o'clock. | _ 'The conversation turned to the beauty | of the flowers and superior singing of the ~ eamary, when the lady, who is an 'ingnisi- tive little body, said " pardun my seeming sudevess of impertinence, but you have seen better days * Yes,' she replied, with a momentary sadness, 'but my history is not unlike thousands of others, save in the termina- mation--all do not become washerwomen.' 'Some years ago my husband was an affluent meschaat in an eastern city, but s mania to come to Now York, he might do even better ; saat down to think what I should Qo.

Being strong and healthy I concluded I could wash with more credit to myeelf and ny em- ployers than anything else. So I dispos ed of all my furniture, except enough for two rooms, in the style you now see; then went to wy daily work, which 1 have never looked upon as being degrading.' 'But is itnot a hard way to earn your living I" 'Not half as tiresome as one would suppose, for the modern laundry does away with all the hard part, such as pumping Water and filling tubs, and it is really renumerative. I work less hours | than your cook, get more than donble pay, and have ne fastidious tastes to tend wit'. I receive from my Suployer asubstantial breakfast and linser--two dollars for my work-- then go home, (you don't know how much this word emeans to me,) cook my light tea over a small gas stove, and evenings reading or sewing-- oftentimes in going to a lecture or concert So, 'you see, 1 get many of the real "com- forts of life oven though a washerwoman.' ' Would that hundreds of others would follow your noble example, there would bo less crime and destitution to record, was: the impulsive exclamation of "the Listener. " A Short Love Story. Here is a short love story told by one Morgan, a sea captain, concerning the choice of a husband at sea, which, (may af- ford a profitable hint tg, young ladies en voyage : Single ladies often cross the water under the special care of the captain cf the ship, and if a love affair occurs among the passengers, he is made confident of one or both parties. A very fascinating young lady had been placed under Morgan's care ly in love with her. They were equally agreeable,and the lady did not know which to encourage. She asked the captain's advice. 'Come on deck," he sid, 'the first day it is perfectly cclm the geatlemen of course will be near you. I will have a boat quietly lowered down, and do you jump overboard and see which of the gen- tlemen will jump after you. 1 will take care of you." A calm day soon came, the captain's suggestion was followed, and two of the lovers jumped after the lady at the instant. But between those tw she could not decide,s0 exactly had been their devo- tion. She again consulted the captain, who he | said take the man that didn't jump--he's the more sensible fellow,and will make the best husband. The motto of our temperance girls is, ' the lips that touch wire, shall not touch mine.' It is unlawful to give a fellow chews o chew of tobacco.

Jones wagered Brown that he had seen a horse galloping at a great speed and a dog sitting on his tail. It seems an im- possible feat for a dog to accomplish, bit Jones was right, and wou the money. The An uufortunate editor of one of our couptry exchanges thus addressed his de- linguent subscribers : ° Friends, we are penpiless. Job's turkey was a millionare compared with our present depressed treasury. To-day, if salt »as two cents a barre', we could omly buy enough to pickle a jay-bird.' An artist, who had painted a portrait of a gentleman, noted for his freguent liba tion, invited the gentlemen's friends to see it. One of them who was rather near sighted, approaching is rather too closely, "he artist in alarm exclaimed, ' Don't touch it, it isn't dry." No use looking at it-then replied the gentleman, it can't be my friend. Young man with a cigar you age smck- ing away your capital. You sir, at the dram shop are drinking yours, Dimes make dollars.

But you must stop squander- ing your money and spending your time in idleness. A short time since a luckless whale got jammed in the ice in Bonavista Bay, and at length was fairly Ffted out of Liis native element, and lay high and dry like a stranded ship, but, though helpless, quite alive. Some fishermen discovered the ter, and took p of the prize by carving their names on its sides and hoisting a flag on its tail, aftet which they went off in pursuit of seals. Another party arrived soon after, and, seeing how matters stood, came to the conclusion that they had a right at all events to a few slices off the whale. Accordingly they set to work with their knives, having no means-of despatching the whale, and cut off as much fat as they were able to carry off, and took their departure, intending to return for more, Merntime, the ice be- gan toslaken, and the whale, not relishing the aspect of affuirs, took his departure, cerrying with higs the flag firmly fixed in cavity cut in Risfail.
