How TO Get a Livln".

Pr indnS'rious.-Every body knows
that industry Is a fundamental virtue in
the man OF business. But |, is not every
sort OF industry which tends to wealth
Macy men work hard to do great deal
Of business, and alter all, make less mon
ey than they would If they did less. In
dustry should be expended in seeing to
all the de ails Of business, in carefully
Flushing up each sepera,e undertaking,
and in the maintenance OF such svs-
TEN as will keep everything under con-
troll.
BE economical-This rule is also ia
mliar to everybody. Economy is vir-
tue to be practlced every hour in great
city 1t Is TO be practiced IN pence as
well as IN pounds. A shilling day sa-
we'd amounts TO an estate in the course OF
hir. Economy is especially important
in the onset Of life, until the foundation of
the estate is laid. Many men are poor
all their days, because when these neces-
rary expenses were light, they did not
siezr The opportunity 10 save small CAPT
tai, which would have changed their for
tuner Tor the whole OF their lives.
Stick 10 y0ur oWa b,4viness. Let specu-
lators make their thousands in a year ora
day; mind your own regular trade; never
| turning from it to the right nor TO the
lett. IT you are a merchants profession
al man, or a mechanic, never buy lots
nor stock, unless you have surplus mon
ey which you wish 10 invest. Your own
business You understand as we'll as Cth,r
men; but other peoples business You do
not understand. Let your business be
some which is useful to the community.
All occupations possess the elements OF
profit in themselves, while mere spccula-
ton has no such elements.
Ncrcf rade nj great Ar-md. Such haz-
ards are seldom well balanced w The
prospects OF profit; and If they We're the
habits OF mind which are introduced, are
unlavorabe and generally the result is
bad. TO keep what YOU have should be
the first rule; to ct what you can fairly,
the second,
Do"I be in a hurry to gel rich.-Grad
ual gains are the only natural gains, and
they who are in haste 10 get rich, break
through sound rules, fail INTO temptations,
and distress of various sorts, and general
~ fail of their object. There is no use
IN getting rich suddenly. The man who
keeps his business under his control, and
saves something every year, is always
rich. AT any rate, he possesses the high
est enjoyment which riches are able to
afford.
Nerer do business for The sake of doing it,
and being counted srcat merchant.-
There Is often more money to be made
by a small business than large one; and
that business will be, in the end, most re-
spectacle, which is most successful. Do
not get dep! y in debt, but SO manage, as
always, if possible to have your fnanciaI
position easy, so that you can turn any
way you please.

OF money is one of the mos, degrading vi

times, which is lmpruden, and SO mis-

DESTRUCTION OF SACRAMENTO CITY.--
The news that the city OF Sacramento has
been destroyed by fire will produce much
anxiety in the United States for further
information, as the last accounts left the
settlers and squatlers in open warfare, and
the inference Is, that the destruction OF the
city was the act OF the latter, probabl y al
ter bloody battle.-Many persons Of
both parties have relatives and connexions
IN this country, who will look TO the next
arrival from California with much interest
1t appears to have been kind Of anti
rent movement Of the squatt"rs, and is in
accordance with new prlnclple which
is extensively advocated in some sections
of the unWn--thatI arge lanaholders have
no right TO then property, and may be
DISPOSE sSed at pleasure by the more needy
The practical adoption OF this principle III
California ha, resulted in bloodshed and
in the destruction of property; and such
will be its consequences wherever II pre-
walls. We trust tina! the public authorI
tics have been able TO suppress the riot,
and to punish those concerned in it; but
we fear that many lives have been lost.
