Character and Integrity.

We have somewhere seen a notice of a
Rotterdam thread merchant, who had accu-
mulated fifythousand dollars by his own in.
dustry, punctuality and integrity and it was
remarked OF him that he never let yard of
bad thread go out Of his hands, and would
never take more than reasonable profit.
By these means he acquired such entire pub
lie confidence, that his customers would as
willingly send blind man or child to buy
for them as 10 go themselves.
We refer 10 the case not 10 intimate that
we have no instances among ourselves, but
for the purpose of suggesting the great value
the exceedingly Iagreeabeness to dealers
with him of he confidence he inspires. And
we affirm nothing. ..extravagan: in sayiug, that
the characierifor strict. integrity acquired is
of as much real worth TO its possessoras the
the pecuniary saving of his industry. Let
such man lose by any misfortune all his
money, he is still man of capital, o. weight
Of influence, and is the superior, on mere
ca culations, of many man OF Large mon-
eyed means.
But the beauty of the thing is this, that
any man, however small his business and
limited his capital has just as good
an opportunity as a millionaire. Integrity
in small things is even more impressive than
integrity in great things. And after all that
men may say in praise of the enterprise,
skill, shrewdness and fact Of particular bu-
siness men, there is one character towards
which all minds indistinctly render their
reverence-and that is, the man who had
rather be honest than wealthy, and who pre-
iers integrity 10 gold.-New. York Dry Goods

Imaginary Hydrophobia.

In memoir of a learned professor is
found recorded a strange case of imaginary
hydrophobia.
A Lucehess peasant, shooting sparrows, saw
his dog attacked by "a strange and ferocious
mastiff. He tried TO separate the animals
and received bite from his own dog, which
instantly ran off through the fields. The
wound was healed in few days, but the
dog was not found, and the peasant after
few days began TO feel symptoms of ner-
vous agitation. He conceived that the. dog,
from disappearing was mad; and within
day or two this idea struck him, he began to
feel sym.oms of hyprophobia. They grew
hourly more virulent; he raved, and had all
the evidence of this most violent distemper.
AS he laid with the door open to let in the
last air he was TO breath, he heard his dog
bark. The animal ran up and frolicked a.
bout the room. 1t was clear that he, at least
was in perfect health. The peasants mind
was relieved instantly, he got up with re-
newed strength, dressed himself, plunged
his head into basin of water, and t.us re-
freshed, walked into the room to his astonsh.
ed family. 1t is not improbable that many
attacks of disease SO strongly dependent on
the imagination might equally be cured by
asce,taining the state of the animal after the
bite was given.

Religious Feelings.

This excellent extract should be read by
every one. The Author used to live in Phil.
adelphia.
The impression entertained by many, that
10 enjoy religion it is necessary 10 forego ev-
cry species of amusements, TO deny ones
self every pleasure, and wear face as long
as your arm, has proved great bar 10 the
progress of genuine piety. 1t is opposed TO
the best impulses Of human nature.
Many of our readers doubtless remember
the Rev. VIM. Barnes, for many years Pastor
of St. Georges Church, and though some.
what eccentric, avery devout and pious man
We recollect some years ago, when he was
stationed at Harrisburg, that at the close OF
one Of his extraordinary discourses, he took
occasion TO reprove the membership Of the
church for their uniformly long faces, and ex-
ceedingly fedate depormeLt. He had no
objection to it, if they felt in that way, but
he protested in the name of the gospel he
preached, that it enjoyed no such repulsive
bearing. He pitied them--from the bottom
oil his soul he pitied them, if they felt hall
as bad as their looks indicated. They looked
he said, as though memory of some greal
crime were weighing on them, and no mattel
how they might labor, they must not look
for any revival of religion until these long ia.
ces were laid aside. He then read an old
familiar hymn, which the choir commenced
singing 10 mournful funeral tune. He re
quested them to stop, and, addressing the
audience, said he had no idea that the devil
should claim all the best times. He desired
the whole congregation to join in singing
the hymn, and wished it sung 10 the tune
cold Lang Syhe.p1 1t was sung, and never
did the walls of.,hat spacious edifice resound
with louder Praise.

II is not SO easy task to write for news
paper as people suppose. A man may be a
good scholar, profound thinker, a vigilant
observer of passing events, without being a.
BILE to write for newspaper. The power of
writing leading article Tor newspaper is
tao; which few possess, and which we have
known many, with all their learning and dill
igence, unable to acquire. 1t requires a We.
ry large amount of information on a variety
of subjects, and a readiness of application
that must never be at faiilt, or the writer will
fail, For, remember, the editor is always
writing against time, and the inexorable prin-
ter must have his copy, so that there is no
time 10 revise and amend but as slip after
slip is written, the devil snatches it away,
and one half is usually set up in print before
the other half is writtcn. This exacts de-.
cision of thought and facility of writing,
which, like poetry, seems rather gift of ma
ture than acquired facility.

nature to his Eeart, are to him most sacred
principles; they are in the last recesses of
his moral being, they are embedded n, the

think of violating them, would seem TO him
as Spiritual determination, the suicide of
his soul. Nor is such man, unrewafded.s

river that fills its channel, gdes smoothly a

stream which scarcely covers the raggedness
OF its bed; that is turbulent and noisy. With
all this gentieness there is exceeding force
with all this meekness, there is imperative

wisdom, and the command is the command
OF love. And yet the authority which rules
SO efectually, never gathers an angry or ai

A Story Of the Highway.

Not many years ago, an Irishman, whose
finances did not keep pace with the demands
made upon his pocket, and whose scorn of
honest labor was immensely unfavorable TO
their being legilimately filled, borrowed an
old pistol one DAY, when poverty had driven
him TO an extremity, and took TO the high
way, determined to rob the first man he con-
veniently could, who was likely TO have a
heavy purse.
Ajolly old farmer came jogging along and
Patput him down Instantly as party who
possessed those requisites he SO much stood
in need OF himself Presenting the pistol,
he ordered the agriculturst 10 stand and de-
liver
The poor fellow forked ovsr some fifty dol
lars, but finding eIasemswiat Sf a sreeny,
begged five TO take him home, distance
of half mile by the way. Therequest was
complied with, accompanied by the most pa
ronizing air. Old Acres and Roods was a
knowing one. Eyeing the pistol, he asked
Patti he would sell it.
''ls it TO sell the pistol 2 Sowl, an it's that
same thing I'll be afther doin'. What will
ye be afther given for it ?"
"Pll give this five dollars for it,"
"Done an done's enough betwane two
gintlemen. Down with the dust, and here's
the tool for yer"
The bargain was made by an immediate
transfer. The moment the farmer got hold
OF the pistol, he ordered Pat TO shell out -
and pointing the pistol, threatened 10 blow
his brains out if he refused
Pat looked at him with comical leer and
buttoning his breeches pocket, sung out
"Blow away, ould boy ! the divil bit of
powders In ii |"
We believe the old man never told the
last part of the story but once, aud that was
by the purest accident Pat moved on, and
'once away forever away has since been his
motto.

xonNt, MEN.

The idea is prevalent in some communi.
ties, that young men are fit neither for gene.
rails or statesmen, and that they must be
kept in the back ground until their physical
strength is impaired by age, and their intel
lectual faculties become blunted by the
weight of years, Let us look to the history
Of the past, and from the long list Of heroes
and statesmen, select some who have dis
tinguished themselves, and we shall find
that they were youns men when they per-
formed those acts which have won for them
an imperishable need of fame, and placed
their names high on the page Of history.

The Two Flowers of Creation.


Women love flowers, and flowers are
like women in their beauty and sweetness,
SO they ought 10 grow up together No
flower garden looks complete without a
woman in it; no woman ever seems so
lovely as when she is surrounded with flow
ers. She should have her fragrant bouquet
al the pafy; window plans in her parlor
If possible, some rich and rare Towering
shrubs in her conservatory-but, better than
all these, and supplying all, every woman
in the world should have flower garden.
Every man who has the least gallantty or
paternal feeling should make flower gar
den for his wife and daughters. Every
house-the smallest cottage in the country,
as well as the largest mansion-should have
around it the perfume of lilacs, pinks and
other hardy oderiferous flowers that cost no
trodble, but bring with tnem every year a
world of beauty and fragrance.

A Modern Lear.

An eminent trader Of Lyons, France, who
acquired a competency, had two handsome
daughters, between whom on their marriage
he divided all his properly, on condition that
he should pass the summer with one, and
the winter with the other. Before the end of
tue first year he found sufficient ground TO
conclude that he was not an acceptable guest
TO either. or this, however, he took TO no.
lice, but hired handsome lodgings, where he
resided few weeks. He then applied to
friend, and told him of the matter, desiring
the gilt of 200 lvres and the loan of $4,000
in ready money for few hours. His friend
readily complied with his request, and the
the next day the old gentleman gave splen,-
did entertainment, 10 which his daughters
and husbands were invited Just as dinner
was over his friend was in a great hurry and
told of an unexpected demand upon him,
and desired TO know whether he could lend
him $4,000 livres. The old man told him,
WITHOUT any emotion, that twice the amount
was at his service, if he wanted it, and going
into The next room, brought him the money.
Alter this he was not suffered to remain any
longer in lodgings; and his daughters were
Jealous if he stayed day longer in one
house than the other. At the expiration of
three or four years, spent in comparative
comfort, he died. Upon examining his bu-
reau, instead of livres was found a note con-
taining these words: "He who has suffered
by his virtues has right to avail himself of
the vices Of those by whom he has been in
jured and iatter ought never to be so
fond of his children as to forget what is due
10 himself"
