We bad made a good ran thua ur, but on tbia partieolar dayatroek a dead oahn. Tbere was littleto do, except to watob the reMel and wbJatle for wind, and several â- ehemea were Invented bj tbe cffioera to pass away tbe time. The second mate of ths Mhooner, Mr. Crolkihank, bad left asweetbeart at borne, and natatally bis mind drifted aovoas ^e watery waste to ber bright eyes. Noticing bia preoccupied manner, the CHtain.'s wife suggested that be send bis love a message from the sea. The idea seemed a good one. Ha wrote a note, inclosed it in an envelope, address- ed it to the yonng lady at Big Brook,Cape Breton, inclosed the whole in a battle, and threw it overboard. Their was great speculation at the time as to where the bottle would bring np but in a few hours a breezs sprung upj a jd, in working tbe vessel, »11 thoughts of the bottle and its contents were forgotten. The schooner in due time arrived in Glou- cester, and Mr. Cruikshank started for Cape Breton. His arrival was expected, but his astonishment may be imagined when bis lady-love brought forth the iden- tical bottle which tbe mate had thrown into the sea, and produced tbe note con- tained therein. The stry of tiie drift was a singular one. It bad been picked np on tbe shores of Little Dover B^y, on the east end of Nova Scotia, after a drift of forty-one days' duration, and the find- er sent it to the youns; lady. Another singular circumstance connected with the finding of the bottle was the fact that tbe fiaaer turned out to be a near relative of Mr. CruLkshank, although they never bad seen each other. Where the Old Shoes Go To. It baa long been known by many per sons what became of the old tin cans which are picked np throughout the city aod are carried away in wagons, but it has only recently been diaeovered to what nae the old shoes are put. Occasionally wagons go through the city, and return toward New York heavilf laden with oli shoes and boots â€" those that have baen thrown away as worthless. It is quite an Indtutry in New York gatheiiog these, and they are said to be worth five cents each. The foreman of a wallpaper factory in the city mentioned saya that different prices are paid for different, grades of leather, and that a pair vi fine calf-skin boots will bring fifteen cents. The boots and shoes are first soaked in several waters to get the dirt off them. Then the nails and threads are removed and the leather is ground into a fine pulp ready for use. The embossed leather papeiings which have come into fashion lately, as well as the scamped leather fire screens, are really nothing but thick paper covered with a layer of this fine pressed leather pulp. The foreman of tbe factory to whom the reference is made says that the finer the quality of the leather the better it takes the bronze and oli gold and other expensive colors in the designs painted on them. Fashionable people think they are going away back to mediieral times when they have the walls of their libraries and dining rooms covered with embossed leather. They don't know that the shoes and boots which their neighbors threw into the aah-barrel a month before form the beau- tiful material on their walls and on the screens which pi^ect. their eyes frjm the fire. Many other trades use old shoes and boots, and the tops of carriages are largely made of them ground up and pressed into sheets. Book-binders use them in making the cheaper forms of leather bindings, and the new style of leather frames with leather mats in them are entirely made of the cast-off covering of the feet. There is very little wasted in this world. ' A model Dos Story. Oae of the most singular incidents of brute intelligence that now and then cause men to pause and ponder upon tbe inscrutable mysteries of creation ooonzred recently in the city of All^hany. A gentleman residing there has two very intelligent d(^rs, which be has trained to work in a treadmill that runa bis wife's sewing machine, thereby relieving her of t lat labour The dogs take turn about at t, one working in the morning and tme in the afternoon. The lady was recently making a masquerade ball costame, which, of course, she carefully guarded aU know- ledge of from her female friends. One lady especially had tried every means to find out what the costame woold be, and an absolute enmity had grown ap between tbe two. The other day one of the dojs was taken sick, and tbe morning dog bad to do doable duty. To this be strmuoos- ly objected, but was whipped until he did the work. At the matqaerade baU, a few nighta aftwwarda, tbe bdy was deeply obagrined to see her rival wear aooatnme Identically tbe same as ber own. How she could have got the pattern remained a mystery, untU the Udies became friends again, and the faets leaked oat. It aeens tile dog knew of bis mistress's deaireto keep her costame a aearet, andreaentfnl for the extxa work impoaed open bim, had watched bis opportunity and takan the pattern of her rival in bis month.

Tae appaiatns oondsta of a box, aome* what luger than an ordinary lansp poat letterbox. In it are two oompertmenli, one containing postal carda, the other, stamped envelopea with sheets of pvpn enclosed in it. Behind these isa com- partment enclosing the madilnery. In the lid on the top of tbe box ia a alit over each oompartment. When aooinof tiie denomination (involving a certain size, thickness and weight) for which the ma- chinery has been constructed, is dropped into the slit, the look of a drawer in the bottom of tJie box Is released, and on the drawer being pulled out a postal card or stamped envelope is found in it. Any other than a proper coin will not release the lock, but, running through the ma- chine, is expelled upon a board at its base. If the coin is bad, it is retained in the machine and the lock is kept fostened. When all the cuds or envelopes have been sold a plate rises over tbe slit marked "empty," and no more coins can be put in. The machinery of the box may be ad- apted to the delivery of a variety of art- icles, such as theatre tickets, ferry tick- ets, prize paskages 'or fancy cards, and it is expected tluit it will be employed by many of the larger shops and hotels for this kind of delivery.
