the Bible, where we ere told to Render unto
Cmsar the thiogs that are Cnsar's and to God |
the things that are Gods and to Owe no man |
anything

mopt every Sunday, Thou shaft not seal and
dcfrnuding a man of his due is stealing for tite
tradesman lends upon faith and honor, and does
not give.
3. The Christian pays regularly all he owes,
because he is & friend to justice and mercy; he
wishes both to love and succour his ncighbor,
and will not have the ruin Of others on his
conscience.
The Patriots Reasons.
4. The patriot knows that one act of justice
is worth six of charlty-that justice helps the
worthy and corrects the unworthy, while char
ity too often succors hut TIE latter.
3. The patriot considers the evils that ensue
from the more wealthy man leaving his poorer
ncighbor unpaid that by that means all the
steps Of the great ladder of society are broken,
the first ruin beginning with the merchant, who
can no longer pay his workmen, and continuing
to the workman's child, who is deprived of
clothes, food, or instruction or to the nged IA
,hc7 and mother, left TO die on the bed of straw.
6. The patriot pays his debts from a love Of
his country; knowing that the neglect of so
doing brings OH Chartish, and hatred of the
upper ranks.
:. Tho patriot also pays, because the system
Of non payment, pursued TO certain extent
would bring a general bankruptcy on the ma
ton.

Portable old age, and knows that he has but lit
tie chance oft from his surrounding family, un.
less he trains up his children in order and eco.
nomy.
Il. The man of the world knows the full
force of the term 'being an honest man'-that

ALpAcH,-Probably few ladies' who wea,
and admire the beautiful fabric called Alpacha
are aware OF the source Of its production. The
Alpscha is woo-bearing animal, indigeniou
to South America and is one of four varieties
which bear general paints of resemhances L
each other. The Llama, one of these varieties
has been long known, and often described bu
It is only within a few years that the Alpacha
has been considered of sufficient importance tC
| merit particular notice
Nine tenths Of the wool of the Alplchi is
black, the remainder being partly white red
and grizzed. 1t is of very long staple, otter
reaching twelve inches, and resembles soft
glossy har-which character is not lost BY dye

mountains manufacture nearly all their cloth

Both the Llama and Alpacha are, perhaps, even
more valuable to the natives as beasts of bur.

glossy, silk like hair, that it is fitted for the pro-
ducion OF textile fabrics differing from all others,
occupying medium position between wool and
silk. II is now mingled with other materials

ular dye will affect those, it will leave the Al
pach wool with its original black color, and thus
! give rise TO great diversity.
