SMALL CREDITS Us. CAsH.-One of our ex-
change papers gives its readers the following
sound advice gratis. If people generally
would profit by ii, many vexations and annoy
ances might be avoided. ''There is no econ
omy in small credits, and large ones are fire..
quently disadvantageous Pay as you 90,
was good rule in the days of The sage and
philosopher, Franklin, and time and expert
ence have made it more apparent in our own
day. Credits, when they are used in the
shape of capital, are sometimes useful, but,
as general thing, in small, every day opera
tions, it is wiser TO wait the means TO pay
what you may feel a desire TO buy than to
buy and wait for the money afterwards to
pay with. Ten to ore the Inconvenience of
waiting for the desired article will not be
found half so great as the trouble you cause
your creditor in afterwards waiting for the
money. 'Pay down. is our motto, and may
be that of every man in health, if he but be-
gin right"

BOYS.-By John G. SAGE.
"The noblest study of mankind is man
The most perplexing one, no doubt, is woman
The subtlest study that the mind can scan,
OF all deep problems, heavenly or human
But of all studies in the round of learning,
From natures marvels down to human toys,
To minds well fitted for acute discerning,
The very queerest one is that of boys!
If to ask questions that would puzzle Plato.
And all the schoolmen Of the middle age
If to make precepts worthy of old Cato,
Be deemed philosophy-your boys u sage!
If the possession ofa teemng fancy,
(Although, forsooth, the youngster doesn't
know it,)
Which nc can use in rarest nccromancy,
BE thought poetical-your boys poet!
If a strong WILL and most courageous bearing,
If TO be cruel as the Roman Nero;
Ii all that's chiyalrous, and all that's daring,
Can make a hero, then ,he boys hero!
But changing soon with his in creasing stature,
The boy is lost in in manhood's ripper age,
And with him goes his former triple nature
No longer poet, hero, now nor sage!

THE BATTL'c OF BUENA VISTA.
| Night-shadows fell cold at the closing day
Where the morrow could see valor's contest
with numbers;
| The bivouaked armies in hostile array,
Sank to rest, while thu sentres kept watch oer
their sumbers.
Meath the stars few to fight the proud foe in his
might
While loved hearts afar, quailed with fear at the
But the soldier rcposed, with the dreams of the
brave
That tbs Stars and the Stripes should trum.
phantly wave.
The drum and the bugle aroused them at morn
And they sprang to their arms for the contest of
glory;
Their chieftan that flag, long defeatess, had bornc
With fame that shall nc'cr be forgotten in
story,
Like the waves of the main swept their horses DER
the plain,
While red grew each hill and ravne with the
slain;
But they saw through the battle clouds dark
ness, the brave,
That star-flag, though torn, still triumphantly
wave.
Der weared they sank on their weapons to rest
When the night-cloud again on their valor de-
scended,
Mid comrades the noblcst, the bravcst and best
Who slept their last sleep where their courage con-
tended
But when broke the day, o! where were they
The proud legions of night l-in their fear fled
away!
Then gladly they that star-fag DER the
brave
In the sheen of the morning triumphantly wave.
All hail to the Hero who valiantly led
First and foremost the rank of his country's de-
tenders!
For now we have rallied, and made him our head,
First in peace to proclaim him who never sur
renders.
The laurel wreath fair from his brow none can
But still greener shall bloom in the Presidents
chair,
And the nation, rcwartng the honest and brave,
Shall behold its star-banner triumphantly wave

FACTS IN REGARD TO SHOEMAKING.

We copied few days since, a paragraph
from a western paper, stating that in Ognai
coke, H., one man had made eight pairs Of
boots in one day, and calling ita great days
work, Since then we have been called on
by and intelligent journeyman shoemaker OF
this city, who states that so far from this be-
ing an uncommon occurrence, he can and
does make eight pairs of boots every day tho
year round, and is willing to forfeit $500 that
he will make 60 pairs in working week.
Nor is this a single case, There are very
many equally expeditions, and the fact speaks
well for our Philadelphia mechanics--the
finest in the world. But what is more, this
gentleman ''siole the trade" as 1t is termed,
never having served an apprenticeship and
he has now worked at the business but FIVE
years. He served regular apprenticeship at
blacksmilhing, and being thrown out of en-
pioyment at dull season, thought he would
try the shoe trade. How he succeeded, let
this simple fact answer--the first pair of shoes
he ever made was for the same man he now
works for. Among expeditions workmen,
certain number of minutes are allowed for
each part of the boot, viz: IS minutes for
rounding up the insole and drawing the upper
over; 10 minutes for laying the welt, putting
on the heel and mailing it; 10 minutes for
trimming and coloring, and minutes for
making AZ minutes to each boot
and in this time il is finished in the most
workmanlike manner Each boot requires
about four fee, of pegging, say six pegs to
the inch, and six inches Of mailing so that
every eigh, pairs Of boots require sa feet Of
pegging, and s feet of mailing. There being
3l3 working days in year, every workman
making eight pairs per day, would use co.
oa2 feet of pegs per year, or about ~ bushels
of pegs, and 2,5o4 feet Of nails, say, about
100 lbs. There is a fixed number Of pegs to
be used in each part Of the work--2so on the
outsole --Phi'cd. Daily Ners.

GEN. SAM HOUSTON.

The New York Sunday Atlas gives the fol.
lowing interesting particulars of the history
of this distinguished individual vAbout the
year 1901, he was elected Governor of
Tennessee. He held the office brief period
only, when he resigned his responsibilities
and honors; and abjuring civilized life, mi.
grated 10 the region west Of the Mississippi,
and was adopted as son by one of the Indian
chieltains. He assumed the habits, and clad
himself in the attire of a rowing son Of the
Wilderness He remained in the forest a year
or two, when he returned to the scenes of ci.
vlized life, and commenced the practice of
the law, in Natchez 1t was while he was
in Natchez that he got up the famous scheme
for the conquest OF Texas. --
There was something Of the romantic, Of
the wild and wonderful in Gen'l Houston's
abdication of the Executive office of Tennes.
see. /, was an act that few men could or
would have survived. II was the result of
passiol--and that passion was love-! He had
been married but few months when his
abdicaiion took place. His wife was lady
of great responsibility, native of the county
of Rutherford or Maury-we forget which,
and was residing temporarily with her pa.
rents, whilst Gov Houston was at Murfrees.
borough, the then seat of the government, at
tending TO his official duties. One day the
lady ordered her carriage and proceeded to
the seat of the local government. Arri,
at the State House, she sent a message to
executive department, informing her husba.
that she had arrived and was waiting his at.
tention. He returned for answer that he was
very much engaged in official duties,-that
if she would return to her hotel he would be
with her as speedily as possible -sr
The lady received the message, and direc.
ted her coachman to take her back again to
the residence of her parents. IF be not of
sufficient consequence she said, Ito induce
Gov. Houston to neglect all other business to
attend to me, am not worthy of being his
wife AS husband and wife we never meet
again.
All attcmptsto conciliate and win her back

consequence. Stung to the quick, and morti-
fed beyond all conception. Governor Hous-
ton left Tennessee and adopted the life of an
Indian.
