-Four Coon HABITs.-- There were four
good habits which a wise and good man ear
nestly Recommended in his counsels and by
bis own example, and which he considered es-
sentially necessary for the happy management

curacy, steadiness. and despatch. Without the
first, time is wasted, those who rely on us are
irritated and disappointed. and nothing is done
in its proper time and place. Without the
second, mistakes the most hurtful to our own
