ADVICE TO MEN IN DEBT.-AsCertair
the whole state of your affairs. Learn ex-
actly how much you owe. Be not guilty Of
deceiving yourself. You may thus awaken
suspicious of dishonesty, when your inten-
tons were otherwise.
Deliberately and fully make up your mind
that come what will, you will practice no
concealrnent or trick, which might have the
appearance of fraud. Openness and candor
command respect among. all good men.
Remember that no man is completely
rnined among men, until bis character is
gone.
Never consent to hold as your own one
farthing which rightfully belongs 10 others.
AS you are at present in circumstances of
great trial, and as many eyes are upon you,
do nothing rashly. If you need advice, con-
suit only few. Let them be disinterested
persons, of the most established reputation.
Beware offeelings and dependency. Give
not place for an hour to useless and enerva-
ting melancholy. Be man.
Reduce your expenditures to the lowest
amount. Care not to figure as others around
you.
Industriously pursue such lawful and hon.
est arts of industry as are left to you. An
hours industry will do more to beget cheer
fulness, suppress evil rumors, and retrieve
your affairs, than months moaning
If .youlmust stop business, do it soon
enough TO avoid the just charge of an at
tempt to involve your unsuspecting friends.
Learn from present difficulties the utter
vanity Of all earthly things.

SON
/ loved her with the purest love
That ever human bosom knewi
The green leaf to the vernal grove
Was never half SO true!
For oh! she was the sweetest flower
That ever graced highland glen,
And proudly did own her power,
For she was Artless then.
She left her home among the hills,
And in the world she grew,
A worldly, Haunting thing of pride,
Unsteady and untrue;
Gay robes and jewels deck her now,
She seeks the gaze Of men,
And is no more the flower loved,
For she was artless then!

From the N, Y. Sunday Mercury
An honest Hlbernlam, upon reading his

had no objections to paying him for his me-
dicine, but his visits he would return.
Real men and woman never sheer at me-

A tailor who died lately, was found in his
last moments cabbaging a piece of the
blanket which covered him.
A man having been capitally convicted,

YOUNG MECHANICS.

There is no class of the community upon
whom the future welfare of the country more
essentially depends, than upon the rising
generation of young mechanics. If they
are intelligent, sober, industrious and con-
sequently Independent, able and acoustic
med to judge for themselves, and governed
in thar own conduct by an enlightened view
of their own best interest--if they are men
of this sort, (and it is for their fathers to
make them such) the mechanics will form
the strongest bulwark of our free institu-
lions, and the best hope of the Republic.

Good nature is the best feature in the f

it adds thousand attractions to the charms
Of beauty, and gives an air of benifcence to

LEAP YEAR.--Our erud;te fellow citizens
will find, on inspection of the almanac, that
the. present year, 1910, is bissextile, or leap
year. The child whose hap may be to be
born on the 29th of next month, february
mill behold the recurrence Of his birth day
tut once in four years. Another singular
circumstance respecting leap-year is, that
ladies, by the ancient custom, may pay their
addresses to the gentlemen; so the belle
who has an overly bashful admirer may save
him from the horrors of popping the ques
ton, and bring the period of courtship to a
speedy conclusion.

ANT1DoTE AGAINST MARRIAGE.--jog says
that if man feels very much like getting
married, yet imagines that he ought not to,
the best remedy he knows of, is to help one
of his neighbors more house full of furni-
turc-borrow about nine Of his children for
three days. and hear them cry. If that fail,
build up fire of damp wood, and when the
smoke in the room is thickest, hire woman
to 8cold him about four hours, If he can
stand all these, he'd better get married the
next day--give hiswife the pants, and be
terlent partner in the great firm of matri-
mony. We think the remedy is severe but
as every man is liable to those things after
he yokes himself, it would do no ham to
try it before.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD TAILoR.--It is said
the tailors derived their name from an old
circumstance, as follows: Nine stout fell
lows were at work one dey sitting cross leg
ged upon bench in their shop, when an
old SOP entered, and gobled up four Of them
al as many mouthfuls! Whereat the boss
ofthe shop defending himselfwithhis sheers,
cried out--taig her, tail Ter! when one OF
the afrighted .jOnrs seized the animal by
that necessary appendage, the tail, and
dragged her out of the shop! Ever after
the craft were called taiIors, from the cir
cumstance Of having tailed the old SOW!

Our Delegate.-HiS Maiden Speech!

Some Of our readers may have never
seen the FIRST speech of A. C. Dodge, the
present Delegate to Congress from this
Territory. For the information Of such,
and that it may be kept before the minds
of all, we republish it. Its short, to be
sure. but it contains a good deal of mean
ing. 1t illustrates so completely the
character and temper of the man-there
is such an absence of all malignity,
revenge and prescription for opinions
sake, such an example Of his reputed
courtesy and gentlemanly bearing, that i,
has doubtless been admired by many Of
his associates. When we published i,
for the first time few days after the
election, with full statement of all the
circumstances, it had considerable influ.
ence. Our temerity in giving it publici.
ty cost us our usual share of printing
and arrayed all A. G. Dodge's friends
against us. What its repeated publica.
ton may do we cannot tell.
We are informed that it was the prac.
tice with our Delegate to tell all those
who were looking to The Legislature fol
favors and who opposed him when can
didate, that "their cases would be atten
ded to-" His influence with the domi
nant party in the Legislature is very great
at least he took for granted that it woult
be so, and he therefore felt safe in utter.
ing such threats. But he signally failee
in one case. Although through his sin
fluence" zoe were defeated in the Legis
lature, still there was another who h.
felt almost as intent in putting down al
ourself--one whose tease" our Delegat,
promised "to attend TO-" but who sue
ceeded in obtaining all he asked for.
We know that the timid NAV think
it injudicious and perhaps impolitic ii
bringing this subject up al the presen
time. All such should realize tbs. !.

The effort will be doubtless repeated by
our opponents TO make the question OF
printing question Of minor importance.
They would doubtless wish to have it 50
considered. But owing to the proscrip,ive
course by the V.B.party in the legislature
it has assumed animportance which would
never have been attached TO it under or
binary circumstances. The people will
not countenance prescription in any
shape. Our opponents may endeavor to
make it minor question, but we shall
meet their assertions at every turn by
an array of facts that will not be misun-
derstood by the people.

measures. He said he could be led, but
could not be drove. He said it was his
intention to have voted for Messrs Crum
and Bailey, but since his colleague was
trying, as he thought, to driue him into
the measure, he should now vote for Mr.
Mckinney.
