WHENIs a MAN DRUNk ?-This ques-
tion, says the local Of the Washington Re-
public, we believe, has never been salts
factorily decided, but case arose the
other night that ought to be regarded as a
sufficient test.

rambies through Washington to get pref

effort to return to their hotel, blundered

around most furiously. "What's this =

What an Editor does not Like.

l. To pay postage on letter ordering
aiscontinuance of a paper when, per-
haps, the subscriber is in arrears.
2. To pay postage on communications,
perhaps not more than ten lines in length,
where none but the writer's interest is
concerned.
3. To be in debt, and without the means
to pay, because subscribers will not pay.
i. To send paper six months or year
to one who is dead or moved away, and
the postmaster or some one else taking
them out and reading them, and then, re-
ceive letter from the postmaster, saying,
"Stop your paper sent to Mr., he is
dead," or "moved away" but not word
about pay.
5. To have man take the paper until
he is in debt eight or ten dollars, and then
slip off to parts unknown, without paying
leaving the postmaster to give notice OF the
slide to the editor.

NOAH AND HlLL.-The decease of these two
veterans of the press, the same day. and almost
at the same hour, brings to mind anecdote which
was current some twenty years ago, and which is
too good to be forgotten. When Messrs Noah and
Hil and the other democratic editors, repaired to
Washington after the election of Gen. Jackson,
they waited upon him in body to prefer their
claims to office. The facetious Noah led the way
to the White House. but in the ante-room he de-
clared that the sscolumn of attack" must be headed

| ahead, and Old Hickory will give us anything we
ask" Mr. Hill, as being the reverse of the Major
in this respect, was accordingly selected as the
leader. and was rewarded with the best Office

WANrED-As HosEsr, ISpUsTRroUs
BoY. Young man-we mean you par
ticularly, who are now reading these
hnes-have you ever investigated the real
important and true meaning fthe express
ion al the head Of this article?' You have
no doubt often seen the exact words
hundred times repeated in your daily pa
pers, but have you derived that impressive
moral lesson which ii IL intended to con-
vey? And you too. OF larger growth
than mere boys, have you the requisiis
qualifications to answer it honestly and
truly?-If not-remember it is the Ian
guage of another--tha: an honest, indus
trious boy is always wanted. He will be
sought for; his services will be in demand;
he will be respected and loved ; he will
be spoken Of in terms oil high commenda-
ton, he will always have home; he will
grow up to be o man oE known wcrth and
established character
He will be wanted. The merchant will
want him for salesman or clerk; the mas
ter mechanic viii want him for an appren-
tice or journeynan; those with a job 10 let
will want hin for contractor, clients
will want him for lawyer, patients for a
physician; religious congregations for
pastor; parents for d teacher Of their chill
dren; and the people Tor an officer.
He will b. wanted. Town<men will
want him as a citizen; aeqnaintances as =
neighbor; neighbors as a friend, families
as visitor; the world as an acquaintance;
nay, girls will want him for beau, and
finally for husband.
An honest, industrious boyl Just think
Of it boys, will you answer this descrip-
ton? Can you apply for this situation ?
Are you sure that you will TIE wante2?--
You may be smart and active, bnt that
does not fill the requi<ion, are you hon
est? You may be carable-are you IN
dustrious! You may be well dressed and
create favorable impression at first sight
are you both honest and industrious?-
You may apply for good situation-are
YOU sure that your friends, teachers. &C
quaintances, can recommend You for these
qualities? O, how would you feel, your
character not being thus established, on
hearing the word can't employ you-'--
! Nothing else would make up for the lack
Of these qualities. No readiness or apt
ness for business will do il. You must
| be honest and INDUSTRIOUS must work aud
labor: then will your "calling and election"
for places of profit and trust be made
/ sure. Merchants Ledger.

came to well built rail fences and enclosures and
soon afterwards to cultivated fields. After fordng
the Predinas river, we came suddenly upon a VII
age, the very aspect Of which showed ns that 1t
was neither Mexican nor German settlement.
Driving up to the best looking house IN the place,
we were met at the gate by portly-looklng man
of about fifty, from whom we learned that we were
in Mormon settlement, bearing the remarkable
and unique name of Zodiac compllmented Mr.
Wright, the leader in WHOSE house we then were,
on the originality of the name, and as beng IN
initely superior to those universally common names
of the statesmen of the revolution, OF which every
State in the Union thinks she must have few
dozens.
Mr.. Wright told us he came to this country two
years ago, with little colony Of one hundred per-
sons, men, women and children. He planted him
self in wilderness, and no neighbors within miles.
His people hold every thing in common. The vii
lage consisted of single broad avenue, with we'll
built houses on either side. There various
trades among them and but one saw-mill for many
miles, There is respectable looking place Of wor-
ship painted white, the lower story Of which is a
store where goods are furnished to the brethren as
they require them, without charge. Mr.. Wright
told me that his crop of corn this year would be
1000 bushels, which is worth to him 81 25 per
bushel.
There were a number of small children running
about from 10 to 13 years OF age, who, Mr.. w.
said, earned five dollars day working in corn
