MAN AS HE SHOULD BE.

Why should not every working man be gen

jewels, or fashionable clothing. There are those
who possess all these and are yet very unmannerly.

nfles gentle man, or one who is urbane and
kind in his conduct towards all persons, whatever
may be their rank, but especially towards those
who may in any respect be deemed his Interiors.
A proud and naughty monarch, lord, or squire is
not gentleman. A contemptuous, fas!dions, dis
daintul, arrogant, insolent princess or duchess is
not lady, and does not deserve the name Of wo-
man. The working classes have generally very
distinct ideas of the attributes of ladies' and gentle
men. 'He is no gentleman said an ostler con-
corning wealthy squire, who had been assuming
all SORTS of airs about his horse, which had STOPPED
for hours at the stable, and for which he pait

THE BETTER COUNTRY.

We may venture to affirm, that if heaven was
now fully laid open to our view, it would be- Sc
impressive and engrossing, as to render every
thing here insignificant and undressing, and
loosen and detach us from all or present en-.
gagements. ST. Peirre tells us of bis returning
10 France in a ship that had been absent seve.
raj years in the East Indies. "And when," says
he, "the crew approached their native country
they were all eagerness to discern it. Some Of
them mounted the rigging; some OF them employ
ed the glass. By and by an exclamation was
heard, 1'Yonder it is i" Then they became
thoughtful and listless. But when they drew
nearer and began to discover the tops of the
hills and towers, that reminded them of the
spots on which they had been brought up, they
knew not how to contain themselves. They
dressed themselves in their best apparel; they
brought out the presents designed for their con-
nexions. But when the vessel entered the har-
Dor and they saw their friends and relations, on
the quay, stretching their hands to embrace
them, many of them leaped from the ship, and
other hands were employed to bring into its
mornings"
All Christians, could you see the better coun-
try from which you were borne and to which
you are bound-could you behold your connex-
ions there, ready to receive you, your station
would soon be deserted; and other agents would
be wanted to carry on their concerns.

the newspaper press, with all its errors, abuses,
and neglect, does much for human happiness
How carelessly we read the newspapers We

however, who were afflicted with tender emo

for it appears that the old gentleman, like a

his nest pretty we'll. His private fortune has
suffered great depreciation within the last two

THE MECHANIC.

There is no man in society for whom we have
higher regard, than the honest and industrious
mechanic. That man who by his own deter
mined exertion, unaided by fortune or ADVENT
tious circumstances, has established himself in the
most elevated position in the community in which
he lives, well deserves the unqualified esteem Of
the vlrtuous and the good. The man who, com
mencing his career it may be friendlesss and in
poverty, succeeds by his skill & energy oyercom-
ing all obstacles, removing every prejudice and
secures to himself an honorable and enviabe re-
putatlon-~such man we hook upon as Natures
nobleman, and the most brilliant production Of
which she can boast
And let it be borne in mind by the young me-
chanlc, just setting out in life, that this position
may be attained and let it be the handspring of
all exertions to attain it. Persevering industry,
anda vlrtuous ambition, will certainly secure this
desired object. They were never yet exerted To
no purpose--and never will be while justice and
humanity retain their places.

THRILLING INcIpENT.-On Saturday last a
middle aged man living on Navy Island, started
in a small canoe, with his son, a lad about IL
yea1s old, for Chippewa. The distance is short
less than mile, we should say, and although
the current of the river is quite rapid the trip is
not attended with any hazard, if the boat is
manned with ordinary skill. But in this case
the man was drunk, and only embarrassed the
boy so that the boat drifted below the mouth OF
the Creek before the lad could approach the
shore. Seeing the impossibility Of reaching
the Canada, the boy turned her towards the
head Of Goat Island, padded with surprising
rendering him any efficient aid The boat was
swept down with frightfnl velocity, but the boy
struggled most perseveringly, and when she
was drawn In the rapids, he had propelled her
so far across the Canada channel as to direct her
course between the middle and inside Sister, the
little island lying outside of Goat Island, near
the upper end. There is a fall of some Is or
90 feet Just above the little islets, extending
nearly across the Canada or main channel of
the river. Mortal aid could not have ayailed
the poor boy and his father if the boat had pitch
ed over this fail, They must certainly have
gone over the great Fall, which man has never
passed alive. Aware of the imminent peril, as
the boat was on the verge of the small preci-
pice the lad sprang into the water, drawing his
father after him, and maintaining an upright
position with great difficulty, upheld his help

pie from the village at the Falls, who had col

before the man and his son were taken to the

MOVEMENT IN OH1o,-A petition was recent
y presented to the Convention of the state of
Ohio, raging for the ''removal of all persons of
negro, OF Of part negro blood from the State of
Ohio" The reason assigned is, the rapid accu-
mutation Of the colored population in that State.
The petition states, 'in the year 1900 there We're
about 500 negroes in the States of Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois; bat in the year le4s they were es-
tilnated at 10000 in the State of Ohio alone"-
The petitioners considered the great increase in
that description of population as serious evil
which requires to be checked and propose as
atIording the most effectual remedy, that the
whole colored population be removed to colo
ny in Africa 10 be purchased by the State.
This movement in Ohio confirms sugges-
ton which we have repeatedly taken occasion to

MELANCHOLY sUIc1DE-A young lady named
Kean, residing in Covington, Ky, drowned her
self in the Ohio river, few days since Miss
K, it appears. had received and encouraged the
addresses Of gentleman whom her father dis
liked, and whose visits to the house he had for
hidden, Sunday evening the young man came
to the house, and invited Miss K. 10 take a walk
with him. When she was about starting, her
father told her if she did not return by certain
hour the doors oil his house would be closed up
on her, and he would not open them. Miss X
started, and it appears remained away over the
time, and when she returned the doors were clos
ed, and no one would admit her. On returning
TO her fathers house and finding it closed a.
aainst her, she spent some time in walking near
the house, and then made another Intellectual at,
tempt to gain Ambulance. She then sought out
the young man with whom she had passed the
evening, and requested him to provide for her
comfort and protection during the night He
thought it would be more proper for the young
lady TO pass the night under her fathers roof,
and advised her once more to try and effect an
entrance, and ii unsuccessful, to return to him
for protection. She complied SO far as 10 try a.
gain at her fathers door, but with no better sue
cess than before. She then started for the ferry,
intending to seek home al her sisters house in
Cincinnati. 1t being in the evening, the ferry
boat had laid up for the night She requested
the ferryman TO get up steam and take her over
the river, which he positively refused TO do.
She asked him fer skiH, and said she would
row herself over. He either had none or
would lend her none. Finding herself thus
bafIled at every point, in despair she rushed to
the outer edge of the wharf and threw herself
into the river, which soon closed over her fair
form. The Cincinnati Atlas says, the father
manifested brutal Indifference about the sub
ject, when informed ihat his daughter was
drowned.

VEGETABLE PHENoMENoN.-Aboutt this time
last year the cane upon several islands in East
Tennessee was discovered to be producing small
grains which very much ressembled rye, both as
to size and shape. 1t grew in heads and was COW
cred with chafF like that of wheat The pro-
duction was then considered remarkable and not
even the Coolest inhabitanto had ever seen any
thing of the kind. The conjectures respecting
the cause of the appearance OF this unusual grain
were very numerous-many persons supposed
that the cane had, by some means been inocula-
ted with wheat This year we are told that the
cane throughout East Tennessee ia bearing
almost incredible quantities of the same grain
At some places it would not be difficult to col,
lect as much as 25 or 80 bushels per acre. Some
persons owning cane lands have already gath
cred large quantities of he grain, which they
find makes -four equal in appearance to that
of wheat, and equally palatable when cooked
in the form Of cakes, &c. Hogs and fowls eat
the grain as it falls from the cane, with the
same greediness that they devonr al other small
grain. Another remarkable feature about the
matter is, that SO soon as the grain begins to ma
