I wish every young man in the land would read carefully the "Memoir of the tVuthor pre faxed to Y ebater s L nabndged Dictionary. Do the young men do any of us ever stop to think what a wonder- lul mau ISoah Webster was, and how much good he accomplished, not only for his own country, but for all who speak and w ute the English language? Twenty years did he give for the accomplishment of this great work, which required the most constant ami persevering effort. He turned untoward circumstances and disappointments to account; for he lived in a time unprecedented lor hardness, and unpromising as far as literary work was concerned, only to those who pos sessed the calmest determination and most unflinching energy. He was im pressed into the service of the American revolution in the midst of his collecre course at Yale, but he graduated at the age of twenty, 1778. He had not the means to pursue the study of law, his chosen profession. His portion from his father, received at this time, was eight dollars Continental currency,worth about four in silver. The country was in a de plorable state for business of any kind most especially for the pursuit he had, chosen. He taught a school in Westford, Conn., and at the same time pursued the study of the law without an instructor, and in two years was admitted to the practice. In 1872 he taught a classical school in Goshen, New York, and now his habit of finding something to do, if not in the field of his choice, is seen; tor he commenced a compilation of school books, the first of the kind published in the United States. The profits of his Spelling Book, "at a premium for copy right ot less than a cent a copy," sup ported hi family during the twenty years he was compiling his American Diction ary. The unsettled state of the times and country at that period often made his pen necessary, which was always wielded for the right, a peace sword for the nation. He wrote promptly and vig orously; neglected no domestic duties; .nd those ot town, county, state and country, all received a good share ot his time and labor. No lesser duty was omitted at plea of a greater. He was as faithful in the least as the greatest, and time only adds to his usefulness and merit; for the centuries multiply his stu dents and his means of doinj: good. Do not be appalled, young men, at the mag uitude of a great undertaking. The pyra mids stand as monuments of physical power and mechanism, one of the seven wonders of the world, but that is all; no mental or moral good results therefrom; Dut .Noah ebster has enlarged the bounds of science in all directions, and while the world stands this pebble he has thrown into tho wave will multiply and widen its circles to the utmost limit of time. Study the lesson of his life, young men, and commit yours to great endeav ors. F. in the Interior. Badly Frightened. Nearly a cen tury ago, when daring robbers were as plentiful in the badly lighted streets of London and Paris as "sneak thieves" are in our own brilliantly lighted thorough fares at the present time, a gentleman was suddenly stopped, one night, while passing over Point Neuf, Paris, with a lantern, by a rough looking man, who said, presenting a paper, "Read this." Somewhat startled, the owner of the lan tern glanced at the dirty scrawl presented to his notice, and read the following: "If you speak one word, I shall stab you. Give me all your valuables, and then run for your life." Not being a man of much pluck, the affrighted gentleman gave up his watch and money, and ran off. He soon gave the alarm, however, and the highwayman, taken by surprise, was im mediately arrested. When accused of the crime of robbery, he pleaded not guilty, and presented a plausible defence. Said he, "I can neither read nor write. I picked up the pajer just at the moment I met this gentleman with the lantern. Thinking it might be of some value, I politely asked him to read it for me. lie complied with my request, and presently handed me his watch and purse, and then ran off. I supposed the paper to be of great value to him, and that he thus lib erally rewarded me for .finding it. He gave me no time to return thanks, which, out of politeness, I was ready to jHjrform." The gentleman, being a little more cred ulous than victims of the present day, accepted the plea and withdrew the com plaint. England Aroused. The London cor respondent of the Toronto Globe says, under the title of "Edward the Seventh," a booklet was published yesterday by the authors of "The Coming K ," "Don Juan," and "The Siliad." At every low class bookshop iu London, and in all the principal streets, by itinerant vendors, this shilling's worth is on sale. John Poole, in one of his best plays, "Dot," adapted from Dickens' "Cricket on the Hearth," says, in the character of the poor old toy-maker, "It's as near na ture as we can come for sixpence," when he puts spots of black paint on a white toy-horse. This brochure is as near treason as the authors dare come for a shilling. It is a vulgar attack on the Queen and other members of the royal family. There is no disguise in the illustrations, and in the letter-press such "concealments" as Prifice Guelpho, Guelphington Palace, Klepto, Pitz Kam, Kamdux, and so on, for the Prince of Wales, Kensington Palace, Lord Derby, Mr. Fitz George, the Duke of Cambridge, require no great skill to de cipher. As Richelieu says, "These schemes are glass, the very sun shines through them." But the treasonable shilling's worth has, in forty-eight hours, sold 120, 000 copies. John B was on trial for felonious assault with intent to kill. It was in evidence that the prisoner had struck the injured man on the head with an iron bar, and so fractured the skull that a portion of the brain actually escaped; yet the man recovered. The only hope of saving the prisoner from conviction was to weaken the evidence of Dr. S , who attended the wounded man, by making him contradict himself. This was undertaken by D , who waa more remarkable for his impertinence to wit nesses than for legal ability. "Now, doctor," said D , "did I un derstand you to say in your direct testi mony that Watt's skull was so badly fractured that the brains actually es caped from the wound f" "That was my evidence." "And do you pretend to say that a mai could lose a portion of his brains and still liver' "Oh, yes," replied the doctor. "I have known men to live and practice law without any brains at all." Street beggars in Par Li earn $2 a day. SAN FRANCISCO MARKET. The weather for the past week has been exceedingly variable, heavy storms of enow and rain have visited the coast, rendering out-door business impossible, and confining the trade of both city and country within very narrow limits. While this is considered a present disadvantage, the great benefits de rived are of puch great geueral character to the whole country in all respects, that we can well afford the present inconvenience. We are led to these it-marks by the reports daily received from all portions of ttie coun try of cheering crop prospects for the coming summer; nor are these promises confined to the crops alone, but are extended equally to alt mining enterprises, both gold and nilver, it being generally predicted that all our native products this year will be largel in excess of that of any former year. Dealers in onr native wines report an in creased and growing demand throughout the Eastern cities for California wines, thus showing that our pure article, home made, Is beginning to be appreciated; the result is that we shall soon find a market for all our vine products at profitable rates, and displace in a great measure the uuulterated foreign wares.

Notwithstanding that San Francisco can boast of a very liberal supply of Carriage Re positories and Manufactories, there seems to le room for stiU more, as evidenced by the fact that another very formidable competi tion for the jH.puUr patronage and favor Iihs recently apeared. We refer to Gallagher's Cariiage Repository. Mr. Bernard Galla gher has for many years engaged in the manufacture of W.'i'gi"n-, Trucks, lras, etc., at 222 Mission t. "About a year since he fretted ou the above premises a line briek structure at a coM of (25,HM.

Coupes, etc., etc., which he will sell at prices to defy competition. To those of our readers contemplating the pur chase of anything in the carriage line, we would say, emphatically, give Mr. Gallagher a call, look sit his stock, 'learn his prices, and you will agree with us that hi boast that he will sell a better article for less money than any house upon the coat is not a vain one. The fact that he owns the premises, and consequently does not pay an exorbitant rent, that his manufacturing business ujiou the same premises is paying him handsomely. are among the reasons why he can atlord to undersell the market.
