There is no doubt that good man.
ner is passport not only TO good soci-
ETY., but often 10 fortune. Ii makes
friends quicker than mere talent with
an awkward timidity, brusqueness, n
moroseness and n sovenlness. Solid
matter and real merit may be greatly
helped by pleasing address or good
manners They may be independent
of cxtcrnals, and the possessor Of solid
talent and real merit may deem that
they shouldIbc so regarded, but relying
upon them and the disregarding of
anything like external polish is foolish
and injurious TO practice. The socie-
~ of well-educated and polished wo-
men is The best that young man can
be thrown into: it affords the best, if
not the only, school for the correction
of any vice of manner that he may
have acquired by carly association or
education, Women are more easily
caught by zine manners than the stern
or sex, aud they are always the first TO
detect anything like surliness or awk-
wardness of manner in others. Ii is
foolish 20 ridicule the idea that ele-
gsnce or grace or case Of manner land
hence apleasing mannerl is not essen
tial 10 success in life. A wcll-man-
nered person, besides being an agreea-
bic, is a safe companion. lie is not
small slanderer: you never hear him
SANDER others, so you are sure he new
or SANDERS you. lie has other sources
of amusement than that 10 be derived
from the retailing of SANDER. There
is charm in agreeable manners that
makes up foITany great lack of CONVEX
satioral powers. Such persons, with
their talent Of good manners, have a
talent that is not sufficiently estimated,
namely that Of appreciation. An APP
preeiating talent is the most modest of
all talents. A person of good man
ners never bores YOU with his grieis
out Of season. When he goes into So
ciety, he knows it is his duty 10 be
agreeable. We owe this 10 each other
and il this debt were remembered
aud paid, The world would be a much
better place than il now is to live in.

Important from BuenoS .1yres. -
BY the barquo Mason Barney, we have
letters and papers from Buenos Ayres
up 10 October 2sth. The blockade
was still continued All merchan. ves-
sells were to depart from Buenos Ayres
on the first Of November at sunrise,
when the French and English fleets
would probably lombard the city. Our
correspondent seems to anticipate re-
taliation from the Argentincs, but a
careful perusal of our files of the
Gucefu MerconM and the Diari0 de
la Idrde leads to a different conclu-
sion. Rosas stands upon the defensive
at present: he denies the legality of
the blockade and proposes to appeal to
the courts Of England and France for
redress. That he will be heard there,
is very doubtful, unless demands can
be sustained by applications from other
powers, and from English and French
merchants, for indemnity sustained to
their commerce by this violation Of the
law Of nations. 1t is contended that
there never was clearer violation OF
the international law; and it appears
that our minister has been joined by
the Sandman minister, the English
merchants and other foreigners. resi-.
ding at Buenos Ayres, in formal pro-
tests against the blockade. Copies
have been sent to their own Govern
ments, and TO the bclligerent parties.
Rosas will make strong case out o!
these protests, and he will have the
sympathies of the civilized world in
demanding redress. An unpleasant at
fair occurred at Montevideo on the,4tl
Of October. The French and English
allies, headed by Gen. Vasquez, go
up a celebration. The Plaza was dec
Grated in holiday attire, and among
other devices was an Indian tramplinl

being mostly Spaniards, this was taker
as threat Of using the native Indians
against them, and they immediatel,
destroyed it. The allies restored j
again, but on the night Of the 9th, thu
Spaniards destroyed it and placed tn
Spanish flag in its place, amid cheer
for Queen Isabella. Three lives wcr
lost by this affair. The British trans

troops. ostensibly intended for South

PROFESSION, NOT PRINCIPLE.
BY T. s. ARTHUR.

"PRorEss1oN is not principle" i
learned this years ago, and have seen
il, verified hundreds Of times since.
Who has mott Neither is profession
religion. How often, too have lprov-
ed this. The best men | ever knew
were those who made few professions.
The Intervals with them were pure as
well as the externals. 5@ lat ..'a1 .n.,c
l,takc no pleasure in making the cx.
posures which follow, but where truth,
may do good never hesitate about
telling it. ii is always painful to per-
ceivc deviation from profession in
those who make show of religion.
Christianity has suffered more from ir-
rcguIarities Of lis pretended friends,
than the assaults Of its open enemies.
There are thousands who have taken
upon themselves no vows, who are pu-
rer in heart and more uprigh, in action
than many, very many who press for
ward to the altar. This is sad truth.
A few doors from my residence,
when boy, lived a Mr.. T, boot
maker. He was a member Of the
- -a- Church, and loud professor.
Regularly every morning and evening
he assembled his family for worship,
and in the private meetings Of the
church members he prayed loudest and
longest Of any. | often observed HIM
during the services on the Sabbath,an
was forced 10 remark the air Of piety
and devotion which he exhibited. AT
first was led to believe him a good
man, but little introduction into the
secrets Of his business transactions, as
/ grew older, convinced me that he.
made religion means Of securing
worldly emolument and honor, rather
than Heavenly riches and divine hon
ors. II was only necessary ~ ASK MS
apprentices his character, to under.
stand something ofhis claims ID relig.
ion. A really good man is rarely, If
ever, the subject of abuse by those un>H
derhirh, but they spare not the pres.
tender to. virtues which he does not
possess. ej}sHE o ,srs,3iJ ~; .ggg.D ,a.t.i
Mr.. T. was one of those who
profess to consider Heavenly. riches.
are infinitely more valuable than sor-
did gold; but who, by all their actions,
illustrate, the truth Of the remark with
which we started, that profession is
not principle" He was content with
working his apprentices hard, keeping
them poorly fed, but he gained his penny
whenever he could; no matter wholost
the penny, or to whom it most belonged.

in this latter respect. ,r ,,,fa ~ ,rl5 u
