Hard Times and Their Remedy

A friend stepped into our den yes
terday, TO have a good hearty grum-
BILE at the times, and to predict future
difficulties of the times, but we know
they might be worse, and desponden'
CIV will make them so. We feel for,
indeed, we feel wih those who suffer,
and therefore understand the grlev-
ances of our neighbors.
We inquired of our friend how he
was situated, whether he was inex'
tricably involved, and learned with
pleasure that foreseeing, he had
forearmed; and though he was making
little, perhaps OUTLYING nett profits,
yet he was comfortable, because safe.
Still he exclaimed 'What are we all
TO don
'Why, what have you to dor

house in the general assembly of
Connecticut, which station he retain
ed for nineteen years, when the office
of judge being incompatible with it,
he retired. His iudgship he held un-
til his election, in 1880, TO Congress,
under the federal constitution. His
early and strenuous support of Anne
rican rights caused him to be chosen
a delegate to the first general Com
gress of 1775. He was present at
the opening of the session.. and con-
tinued to occupy his seat in that bo-
dy until his death, in 1885, space
of nineteen years. His whole con-
g~ressional career w2s parked by in
deialigabIe zeal, indUliry and forth
tude. His sterling. sense, integrity
and firmness gave him great influence
in the assembly. The estimation he
was held by his fellow members may
be inferred from the selection of him
as the associate Of Adams, Franklin,
Jefferson and Livingston, on the COM
mittee appointed to prepare the Dec
laration of Independence. While
holding a seat in Congress, he served
the States which he represented in
various other ways. During the
wa., he was a member of the govern
or's council of safety; and, from 1884
to his death, he was the mayor of
the city of New Haven. In 1888,
he was commissioned, together with
Richard Law, both of whom were at
the time judges of the superior court,
to revise the statute of the State-a
work of great labor and difficulty,
and which was executed with cores
ponding ability. In 1877, he was a
member of the convention which
formed the presentconstitution of the
United States; and its adoption in
Connecticut was owing, in a great
measure, to his influence. He ap-
peared before the State convention,
and made a plain and perspicuous ex-
PLANTATION of the principles of the in
strument. He was continued in his
place in the house Of representatives
under the new government, and at
the expiration Of two years, was
chosen 10 the senate, but was obliged
to retire from this station in conse-
quence of i'll health, and died July
esd, 1898, in the 73d year of his age.
The prominent trait Of Mr.. Sher-
mans character was his practical
wisdom, or in other words, his strong
common sense. "That," said, Mr..
Jefferson, on one occasion, when
pointing out the various members of
Congress to a friend, "that is Mr..
Sherman, of Connecticut-a man
who nerery said a foolish thing in his
life" He possessed singular power
in penetrating into the character and
motives of man, while the rectitude
and integrity of his own nature ena-
bIed him to acquire an extraordinary
influence. Though a man of natu-
rally strong passions, he obtained a
complete control over them by means
of his deep religious spirit, and be-
came habitually calm, sedate and self
possessed. As a speaker, he was
slow and ~hesitating, and devoid Of
most of the graces Of oratory; but
the weight Of his matter, and the
conviction of his sincerity, caused
him TO be listened to with great re-
spect and attention. His learning
was extensive and profound.

was in the habit of bustling about at

they should not live for themselves

Trifes or small circumstances are
not to be despised. The nerve of a
tooth, though no larger than the finest
cambrick needle, will sometimes drive
a man TO destruction. A musquito
can make an elephant absolutely mad.
The rock which causes n navy to
founder is the work of a worm. The
warrior who has withstood death in
4 thousand forms, may be killed by
an insect. Small pleasures make up
the sum of human happiness. The
deepest wretchedness often results
from a perpetual continuance of petty
pains. A single look from those we
love often produces exquisite pain or
unalloyed pleasure. The fist glass
of wine that ever was drank led TO all
the horrors, miseries and crimes that
have sprung from drunkenness, and
darkencd the earth for centuries.

with Mr.. B., because Mr.. B. is a me.
chanlc, but because their favourite
topics of conversation, their tastes,
and pursuits are different; and this is
clearly apparent from another fact,
that whenever two persons, of total
!y different professions, happen to
meet frequently upon some common
ground of science or the fine arts, in
their leisure hours, they Immediately
recognize each others natural equali-
ty and become familiar companions.
They collect plants or minerals, or
perform chemical or philosophical ex-
periments together, they unite in the
same pursuits during their leisure
hours, and become daily more and
more assimilated in mind and char
acter as well as in their favourite re-
creations, until they are bound to-
gether by the strictest bonds OF
friendship. There is. therefore, no
necessary or essential difference in
the responsibility of different trades
and professions, and there is no So
cial enlargement between their
members, which may not be over
come by precisely the same means
which constitute the cause of init
macy in other circumstances. In
our country, therefore, in point Of re-
al and essential responsibility, all
trades and professions are equal; and
the social position which a man en-
joys, and the degree Of which
he is able to command, depends not
upon his trade, but his individual
character.
If, in every part Of the U. States,
the stupid prejudice which would ex-
clude the mechanic or the farmer
from any society TO which his intelli-
gence and good manners entitle him,
is not thoroughly exploded, the time
has certainly arrived when it is no
longer to be avowed by well-bred
people. In fact, the rule which would
exclude Il man from any drawing
room in the land, on the simple
ground Of his beingamechanic, would
have excluded from the same draw
ing-room. such men as Nathaniel
Bowditch, who was a mariner by
trade; Roger Sherman, who was a
shoemaker by trade; Benjamin Frank
lin. late ambassador to Versailles,
who was a printer by trade; and
George Washington, a very respecta-
bic man Of the last century, who was
a surveyor by trade.
But the imaginary responsibility
which n man may happen to enjoy
from his position in society is not by
any means the first and most impor-
tant thing to be considered in the
choice ola profession. 1t should not
be the leading motive in determining
the choice Of the parent; neither
should it be the main consideration
in the mind Of the young person HIM
SELF. There is another and n much
more important point. which claims
and should receive the precedence.
Every parent, in making choice of n
profession for his son. and every son,
in making the same choice for himself,
should seriously and deliberately in
quire, what profession affords the best
chance for happiness. Happiness, in
the MODEST and broadest sense-hap-
piness, which consists in contentment,
independence, and real usefulness
happiness, which begins in the o
scientious and successful discharge
of duty on earth and reaches for
ward to the unerring retribution of
n future world.

.A.TTf-BILiOUS PILLS.

From the ten Thousand eulogics past upon the
different kinds Of Pills which are exposed in tho
prints, and the absolute iusohoods which are
told about the various diseases which they are to
cure, and mostly by those who have no knowl-
edge Of the science Of medicine, either by theory
or by practice, to cure all the various diseases to
which the human family are subjects too pre-
posterous for any thinking mind to believe; the
whole object OF the vcndor or quack must be to
name all the various ills, IN order 10 catch all -
as none other would have the hardihood TO i'm
pose such deception on a crcdulous community.
1t would be quite as laudablc in me, Judging from
the virtues Of the above Pills in comparison with
others, that should say they would cure every
disease which exists un Ter the sun; but cannot,
lwlil not do il ,-although believe their virtues
are quite equal to any, and superior to most; and
do know that our most popular physicians arc
in the constant Use Of them, and that THEIR ex-
pericnee and NINE for series of years, whilst en-
gagged in the practice Of the profession have pro-
we'd their great virtues and beneficial effects of
all others is the best teacher and safest guide.
The above nan ed Pills are suitable in all cases
where gentle purgative is required TO exert
saluiary influence throughout the system. The
regular dose is ilom 5 to 1,--maY be taken t
bed time if most convenient. As there is much
difference as to the amount OF medicine required
to produce an opcrdton some might find one or
two sufficient where other individuals might re-
qaigs double that number and even the SAME
