When a young man/' said Mi. ; Weed to a writer in Dress, ' I had to adopt a regular niutliod for I strengthening my memory, and I hit on one that was very effective. 1 i got married in 1818 , when I was , working in Albany as a journeyman j printer. In a few months I went into business, establishing a news paper for myself, and some of my friends thought I would succeed in politics, probably because i impress ed my views strongly upon those about me. Hut I saw at once that 1 had a fatal weakness which 1 thought would prevent it. My memory was a sieve; I could remem ber noth ng Dates, names, appoint ments, faces, very thing escaped me. I said to my wife: 'Catherine, 1 shall never make a successful politi cian, for 1 cannot remember, and that is a prime neccessity of politi cians. A pblitician who sees a man once should remember him forever.' My wife told me I must train my memory. So when I came home tin t night 1 sat down alone, and spent fifteen minutes trying silently to recall with accuracy the princi pal events of the day. I could re member hut little at first; now I re member that I could not then recall what I had for breakfast. "After a few days' pructie 1 found I could recall more. Kvents came hack to me more minutely, more ac curately, and more vividly than at first. After a fortnight or so of this, Catherine said. Why don't you re late to me tin 1 events of the day, in stead of recalling them to yourself? It would he interesting, and my in- | terest in it would he a stimulous to you. Having great respect for • wife's opinion, 1 began a habit of oral confession, as it were, which was continued for about fifty years. Kvcry night the last thing before retiring, 1 told lier everything I could remember that hud happened to me, or about me. during the day. I generally recalled tin vry dishes 1 had for breakfast, dinner and tea; the people Iliad seen and what they said; the editorials I had written for my paper, giving her brief abstracts of them; 1 mentioned all the letters I had sent and received, and the language used, as nearly as possible; when I had walked told her everything that had come within my observation. I fourni 1 say my lessons better and better every year, and instead of the prac tice becoming irksome, it became a pleasure to go over again the events of the day. Ian indebted to this diciplinc for a memory of somewhat unusual tenacity, and 1 recommend the practice to all who wish to store up facts, or expect to have much to do with influencing men." , ridden I Gru I/ti'li: Fhiknih.— One day little Fannie was undergoing the customary ordeal of s at the hands of the tn i hair-dressing aid, when, lier patience being exhausted, she broke out with, "Oh, please don't brush so hard.
