Any Way Too Stay I.ook at It, It Do*« Not I'ay. Does it pay to And fault? You who are the wi3o keepers of houses, and the dear, keepers of hearts, does it pay? There are heavy burdens to bear all day—manifold cares from tho rising to the setting of the sun—blunders mado by thoso who should have known better, many a thing to annoy; but don't make cold and cheerless tho homo atmosphere by finding fault. Thero is no blight more deadly in its tendency, nothing that can more surely disturb tho harmony of home, nothing »hat will lecoil more quickly upon yourself, than the habit of fault-finding. Not that errors should go unrelinked, of mistakes uncorrected; but note such down in your memory, and when the work and caro and tumult of tl:v day are all over, then call the littlo on . and tho larger ones around you and toll them soberly but kindly of the wrong-doings, and sco If you are not imply repaid for your forbearance by the smile and tho tear, and tho little word of contrition and promise of amendment. You will be a thousand times happier when you lie down to sleep, and a sweet forgetfulneas has settled over your littlo flock, than you would havo been had tho blue eyes now closed been filled with bitter tears that overflowed at unkind censure, or had tho little golden head drooped under tho shadow of your constant frown. How fair and sweet and satisfying lifo might bo to us all if wo would forgot to fret, and find fault, and complain. Don't save your words of praiso and appreciation until it is too late. You lovo tho littlo children—tho dear little children! And if they do spoalc loud, and leavo doors open that should bo shut, and disturb tho order of tho houso don't find fault. It won't pay.- N. Y.

There have lately come into tho po»- lession o( the National Muioum two artides which are of great iiitercst to overy American and of particular value to every student of American history.. Those are nothing more or less than two of the original stamps engraved in England for use in the American c >nies in accordance with the provisions of th» Htamp act of February, 1705. This was tho. act which cause'I such an uproatj among tho colonies and which was on* of the main causes of all tho trouble Immediately preceding and leading to the revolution. It was intended that tjie revenue to bo raised by tho Stamp act should como from the .lo of stamped' paper and stamps which were required' to bo placed upon ull paper v. t'd in commercial transactions suits at law, publications, transfers of real estate,! inheritances and marriage licen "S. WRITING IN Ti.AINS. Thus a tax was placed upon the colanies without their consent and tho money derived from this tax wa • to bo used for tho support of a standing army, which in turn was expected to rnforco tho payment of tho tax. Apparently no; Englishman dreamed any re sistanco to tho act, and it is said that Grtnvlllo, tho minister under whom tho act was passed, aftorward mado the statomont that lio would have alak. I his lifo on tho obedience of tho colonies to thoi measure. Of course, however, tfcero: was a decided resist, nee, a every American knows, which led t > ho repeal of tho act in March, 1".'• i, under tho Rockingham ministry. Tho stamps! thcmsolvos wero handsum 1/ eu>:ravedi and ran In value from a half penny tip to several pounds. The two stamps now in tho museum aro of tho value of a half penny and a penny. Tho/ aro uncanceled, and aro two of eight which wero preserved by tho heirs of Hon.  Ellis, who was Commissioner of Inter-, nal Revenuo for <!reat Britain in tho year 1703. After his death thoy camo into tho possession of his son Wolboro Ellis, Jr., who was a partner in tho famous banking houv >f Walker, Maltby, Everett Dili we. i failed in tho great financial panic of 1837.

Mr. Brill camo to tho concl ision that if tho stamps wero of that much value to an Eng'.isiin i '.hoy would bo of much moro intc ' to an, American museum of historical relics and ho promptly presented them to tho, National museum here, whoro the ■ will bo appreciated and properly preserved*.

During a morning walk a merchant who was detained by business in Amsterdam, camo to a group of men who wero standing round a_ well, into which a strongly built man had just booii lot down. A pipe, whoso mouth was at tho top of tho woll had been oponed and a stream of water frony t was flowing down intg tho w£ll and beginning gradually to fill It. xTio fellqw below had quite enough to do it ho did not want to bo drowned, to keep tho water »ut by means of a pump which was at tho bottom ot tho well. Tho merchant, pitying tho man, asked for an explanation ot what seemed a heartlegs, cruel joke. "Sir," .replied an old man standing near, "that man is healthy and strong; I liavo myself offered him work twenty timos, nevertheless ho always allows laziness to get tho better of him, and will mako any excuse to beg his "bread Irom door to door, thoujjh ho might easily earn it himself by work if ho liked. Wo are now trying to mako him fool that ho can work, it houses tlfo strength which is in his arms ho will bo saved, if ho lot them hang idlo ho will bo drowned. Hut look," continued tho old Dutchman, as ho went to tho c-dgo of tho well, "tho fellow tinds out that ho has got muscles; in an hour wo shall lei bim oiut with better resolutions for the future." Such was tho case, and tho euro was effectual.—Christian at Work. ami GlotMmg. A good buyer makes if, easy to sell. The secret ot every . business man's success is in buying and not in selling. 1' ho shrewd buyer laughs at his competitor who does not know why his business does not go. We livo in an age of improvement. The merchant of fifty years ago can't do business to-day. The rapid strides being made in the manufacture of every commodity, with the best skill and utmost care in making the giant engine that hauls the commerce all over this and other countries, the same skill and improvements are being made in the manufacture of clothing and all wearing apparel.
