"James. YOU had better attend to the night-wood,"
said Mrs. FORSYTH to her son, who had become deep
| " interested in a book he Was peruslng. :.
=" Wait little mother. 1 want to finish this
| page-I am right in the middle Of it now:
His mother did wait, and although she said moth
ing yet she was deeply gr,eved: When ne na1
read the first page through, he feared he would
lose the force of it if he laid it aside Just them
And what difference would it make if the wood
was brought in five minutes later? Mrs. Forsyth
allowed him to take his own time for it, so 1t was
almost dark before he thought of leaving his book
Then he went at it in great hurry, and IN split-
ting some knding he scratched his hand very bad
w. And when he again entered the neat little SIT
ting room where his mother was at work, ne was
crying and complaining bitterly.
40 dear! o dear! was splitting some wood
and great stick few up and hurt my hand SO.
You know its just my luck.
"Come and sit down by me, James, want to talk
with you. You think you are very unlucky' don't
you?"
! YES, do, mother; am always getting hurt
and it isn't my fault either"
WAS it not your fault tonight, my son Z"
"Why no; how should know that the stick
was going to hit me %
"Yes, but if it had not been so dark and late,
YOU would not have been in such hurry doing 1t.
II spoke to YOU in season to do it all by daylight,
and | let YOU manage your own own way to see
what would be the result. I have noticed lately
that whenever any thing is given you to do wait
minute, is almost your constant reply.
well, what difference does minute make, any
Way"
"Wbat would your father say, if because1 wish
ed to finish any thing was doing, should put of
breakfast till dinner time-would he like it?
why suppose not
"And besides, the excuse which is good for one
minute is equally good for the mert and for many
more. And, as a consequence of Procastination in
crowding the business of an hour into moments
space, you hurry through with every thing, only
half doing it. So you are always complaining OF
i'll luck Now this very fault of yours is the cause
No doubt it seems hard to break off from a thing
in the midst of it. but recollect if you do every
thing promptly and in its proper place, you will
have more time to do it with"
Il don't see but that is reasonable mother,
said James, looking earnestly and thoughtfully in
her face, land l will try and do better in the tu-
ture.
That is right, my son. You will find it far ca
sier after little while to do things in order, than
to leave all to leisure moment. And then you
will not have so mnch i'll luck to complain of here
after"
And now, my dear young friends, | have only to
say in conclusion. that James Forsyth has reformed,
and is much happier and better boy. Go thou
and do likewise Zion's Herald.

SKETCH OF SUWAROW.

The most able military commander that Russia
has produced in person miserably thin, and five
feet one inch in height. y large mouth, pug nose,
eyes commonly halt shut, a few gray side locks,
brought over the top of his bad crown, and small
unpowdered queue, the whole surmounted by
hreecornered felt hat ornamented with green fringe,
composed the "head and front " of Field-marshal
Suwarow but his eyes, when open, were piercing,
and in battle they said to be terrifcally eX
pressive. When any thing said or done displeased
him, a wavy play of his deeply-wrinkled forehead
betrayed, or rather expressed, his disapproval He
had philosophical contempt for dress and might
often be seen drilling his men in his shirt sleeves.
1t was only during the severest weather that he
wore cloth, his outer garments being usually of
white serge turned up with green. These were
the most indiferentlv made, were his large,
coarsely creased slouching boots one of which he
very commonly dispensed with, leaving his knee
band unbuttoned, and his stocking about his heel.
a huge sabre and a sing lie order completed his or
binary costume but on grand occasions his field
marshaTs uniform covered with badges, and he
was fond of telling where and how he had won
them. He often arose at midnight, and welcomed
the first soldier he saw moving with piercing i'm
itation of the growing of cock, in compliment to
his early rising 1t is said that in the first Polish
war, knowing spy was in the camp, he issued Or
ders for an attack at cock-crow and the enemy ex-
pectlng 1t IN the morning, were cut to pieces at
nine at night-Suwarow having turned out the
troops an hour before by his well-known cry. The
evening before the storm of Ismail he informed his
columns Tomorrow morning, an hour before
daybreak, 1 mean to get up l shall then dress
and wash myself then say my prayers, and then
give one good cock-crow, and capture Ismail."
When Segur asked him if he never took off his
clothes at night, he replied, mo- when get lazy.
and want to have comfortable sleep, generally
take off one spur" Buckets of cold water were
thrown over him before he dressed, and his table
was served at seven eight o'clock with sandwiches
and various messes which Duboscage describes as
des ragotus Kosacks detestabLes )" to which men
paid " the mouth honor, which they would fAin de-
ny, but dare not" lest Suwarow should consider
them effeminate. He had been very sickly in his
youth, but by spare diet and cold bathing had
strengthened and hardened himself into frst-rate
condition.

Buy NO MORE BLANKETS. Mr. Editor: My
motive in this communication, is to draw the atten
ton of planters to economical substitute for the
negro blanket, viz: the cotton comfort" These
articles, each of them worth about half dozen of
the ordinary negro blanket, can be furnished at
cost of from 25 to 80 cents. Each being six feet
long, and four feet wide, when the material is
all purchased; they would Of course be cheaper
when the refuse cotton of the plantation was card
ed into bats at home. Bats of fine cotton carded
by machines can be had at from 25 to 80 cents per
dozen. Six Of these are sufficient for comfort of
the above dimensions. The material for the
velope being of the thinnest and lightest cotton,
can be had at three cents per yard it will require
st yards to the comfort. The manufacture of these
articles is simple that any of the plantation
men, on rainy days, invalids, and not engaged in
outdoor empoyments, would make an ample sup
ply, nothing being required but light rectangular
wooden frame of the dimensions of the required
comfort. The adoption of this article throughout
the South, for the of negroes alone, would re-
suit in a saving of rs cents to the planters, and
would consume from 80 to 10000 bales Of cotton.
BY adopting such measures as this, and turning
their attention to the spinning and weaving of their
crops, instead Of shipping the raw material, our
planters would effect much more than ever can re-
suit from Macon Cotton Conventions.

SWINDLING IN NEW YORK.

A case of false pretences swindling, involving
large amount of money, has, for few days past
engaged the attention of The New York police. Two
men of hitherto good character-Wiet N. Hawkins,
of 2O3 Madison st. and Isaac N. VIM, of 269 Mad
ison St-had been arrested, an affidavit Of Cyrus
Scofeld. The Times says:
''Some time since. it appears, number of respec-
table persons associated themselves into secret CO.
partnership brokers and spectators in stocks
securities, and the purchase of gold DUST and ore
from the returned Cafornans they arrived at this
port In the steamers from Chdgres. Some of the
gang had an Office in Fulton street, while their
conederates had Offices in Broadway, Wall, Pine and
John streets, where the Infamous financial operations
were c1ncoced and carried into effect successfully.
The first movement TO carry ont their design was to
establish an unbounded credit among numerous res
ponslble mercantile houses and exchange brokers, by
seeking lntroductlons from rreproachable sources,
and then ioanng at times large sums of money, va
ryng from 1000, SIS, 900, $1,000, 5000, and
$4,000, to carry out their assumed speculation in
gold dust, &c.
The loans were generally for period not exceed
ing twenly-four hours, which time the funds would
be promptly returned, with heavy bonus for the
of them. In this way the parties acquired unlim-
tied credit, and the most implicit confidence was
placed in their honesty and integrity by those with
WHOM they transacted these moneved operations
Last week the sum of nearly $4,000 was borrowed.
in the manner above described, from or fifteen
merchants and brokers doing business in Wall, Full
town. Thus securing heavy haul, Inc principal
operator abscondet, having in his possession the
lions share of the ready cash, and his accompces
refused TO pay back single dollar. Intense excite
ment prevailed among the victims of the fraudulent
operations, and many of them have been compelled
TO suspend business in consequence of their in
ability to meet their notes. Hence their ruin, if the
rogues are not captured and made to disgorge their
ill-go,ten gains.
Among the sufferers are ]. W. Barker, of Cedar
street. who loses to the tune OF $4,000; John w.
French. boonaker in Ann street, SIS, 900 John P.
Scott in Fulton street, $4,000; Cyrus Sco6eld, of
Pike street, $4,000 DR.. Lttlefeld, $4,000 Jas. T.
Moultou, $1,000; Isaac Scofeld, So 600, and many
others whose names have not been ascertained. We
reliably Informed that the principal defauIter in
this extraordinary swinde is named Plinn White,
who, for a long time. has been living in gay and
fashionable style in a costly mansion in of the
fashionable avenues. The police officers the
qui viUe to find the missing individual, and have
secured the city for his whereabouts, but up Sun
day evening they had no succeeded in obtaining any
clue to him.
