TEACH YOUR SONS TO WoRK.-There is
nothing 80 destructive to the morals and we
may add, to the peace Of any community, as
the neglect of parents, rich or poor, to teach
their sons the Importance of being early en-
gagged in some a2ti1e employment. Too
many of the citizens of every place, under the
Influence of false pride, suffer their sons, after
quitting their schools to lounge about the pub
lie Offices and taverne Of their place of resi-
Idence, rather than cause them TO engage in
some important branch of the mechanical arts
er force them, by dint Of their own. industry,
ito seek their fortune in other pursuits. Moth
ing is more detestable in our eye, thar to see
Ia healthy good looking youth breaking loose
from the restraints Of honorable industry, re-
turning . his fathers domicil for support and
floating it about rather than pursuing some
Occupation which will not only support, him
sself, But give qualification to bis worthy pa

Hand we may add. that lido hands are the i'm
splements he employs to execute his dark de-
fsigns.

INDIAN TRIcKs.-We cut down the follow
ing sample of Indian rascality from a long
article in a late exchange paper "A
party Of young men recently set out from
Marion, Lynn county, Wisconsin, upon a
hunting excursion, well prepared with al
sntfit valued at three hundred dollars. Al
the end of a week, they fell in with an In
dian encampment, The chiefs of whicl
were out hunting. The squaws invited
the young whites to remain until the war
riors returned, when they would obtain
every information as ia the most desirable
hunting grounds. The party complied
with theiHvitatlop. The Indians 500 return.
ce, and gave them a knowledge of Indian
trickery instead of the favorable huntings
The chefs robbed them of their wagon,
guns, provisions, horses, clothing and mo-
ney and sent thfml,ome with only a shirt
and a pair of p%antaloons for eachl When
they reached the settlement they were al
most exhausted with hunger and fatigue.

Love, INCONSISTENCY N SUIcEDE.-A
respectable appearing woman. boarding at No.
lis Cherry street, committed suicide on Tues
Iday by taking arsenic. She was married to
a sea captain and lived in Greewich-st. Her
husband returned about a month ago and re-
sided with her but a short time, when he wen
Ito board at Is Cherry-st. On enquiry she as.
certained that he chad fallen in love- with a
Young woman who boarded there, which was
The cause of his abandonment of bis home
and ~conjugal friend and partner. She imme-
Idiately left her own comfortable establish
|nent in Greenwich street, and solicited Mrs
Chapman, the lady who keeps the holse al
No. Is Cherry, to admit her TO board. The
house is a genteel and highly respectable ore,
land directly opposite No IA. Her object
appears to have theen to get 1T the vicinity q
her husbands residence, and shd was observ-
ed frequently to watch, but it IS not known
at that time what for. She wrote an elegant
letter previous to taking the poison, in which
she speaks of her love and disappointment
and admonishes her husband, if he marries
again, to treat his wife better than he has
her. She requested that her property nigh,
be sold and given to her relations. The
coroner held an inquest upon her remains yes.
terday, 1t appeared that she was a German
kby birth named Catherine Dufrey. A pos
!mortem examination was made upon the body
and arsenic found in this stomach. Verdict
death by apoisen ng with arsenic which wat
administered by herself.
THE SUPREMACY OF LAVISH is til,
