by which it can easily be accomplished; and
that Is. for the two, so called, district commit
tees, to meet each other like true and honest
democrats, agree on the prelminaries for call
ing convention, issue a joint call, and the
whole trouble, so far as calling the convention
IS concerned, is remedied. Another difficulty
would still exist, and that is-that two candi-
dates for electors claim to have been nominated
at the two-fold convention at Thomaston.-
This can also be easily remedied. Let the two
candidates act like men, and decline and then
the convention, yet to be held, could nominate
one candidate, which is quite sufficient for the
good of party; and then this difficulty would
no longer exist.

are worth, hoping that there is yet wisdom
enough in the party to heal all existing strife,

be continued, and defeat amounting to nothing

IL. Trust nothing to speculation, and avoid
all paper money schemes to deceive the public
and uphold a false credit.
Is. In general avoid partnership; at all
times, if you are not perfectly acquainted with
the temper, disposition and character of YOUR
partner.
10. If you discover your partner is schemer
or gambler in the funds, lottery, or otherwise,
dissolve partnership directly.
20. Be firm and determined in your prices,
fix moderate price, and never depar. from
it,
2l. Exposed as you must often be 10 improp-
er questions, rather positively refuse to answer
them, than to tell lies as are common on the
occasion.
20. Acquire neatness and despatch in ev.
erything that you Go; yet avoid the affected
hustle, cringing smile, and vulgarity of some
tradesmen.
%. Talk TO your customers like man Of
sense and business, and not like 4 mounte-
bank.

A Happy Home.

important era in the history of man aud wife

desires, or else, conjuring up their disikes

Wise, in his Bridal Greetings, of bride.
groom who gloried in eccentrcities. He
requested the bride TO accompany him into
the garden, day or two after their wedding.
He then threw line over the roof OF their
cottage. Giving his wife one end of it, he
retreated TO the other side, and exclaimed
Pull the line
She pulled it, at his request, as far as she
could. He cried
Pull it over
81 can't she replied.
But pull with all your might shouted the
whimsical husband
But in vain were all the efforts Of the bride
to rull over the line, so long as her husband
held The opposite end. But when he came
round, and they both pulled at the end, it
came over with great ease.

another minutes delay, the voting mother
stepped upon the rock and looked over, ex-
pecting 10 see her babe asleep; instead of
which. he was sitting perfectly motionless,
his lips parted, and his wide open eyes fixed
with a singular expression upon some object
which at first she was unable TO discern.
Yet who can judge Of her horror, when on
closer scrutiny, she perceived, some four
feet from the infant, rattle.nake, with its
git'ering eyes fastened upon his, and near
ing him by an almost imperceptible motion
The sight Of her daring's peril SO para
lyzed her, that for a moment she half be-
Ieved that the dreadful fascination had ex-
tended to herself but the certainty, that,
unless she was the instrument of salvation
10 her child, he was inevitably lost, in some
degree restored her powers.
She glanced wildly round for something
that might be used as weapon, but nothing
appeared, and already the venemous reptile
had passed over half the space which divided
him from his victim. Another moment, and
all would be lost What could be done?
In her hand she held broad tin pan, and
sprinsing from the rock, quick as thought,
she covered the snake with it, and stood up
on ii 10 prevent his escape.
The charm was broken; the child moved,
swayed TO one side, and began to sob. At
the same time, the mother recovered her
voice and screamed for aid, retaining her po-
silion Till it arrived, when the cause of her
terrible fright was despatched.

Advice to Young Mechanics and
Tradesmen.

l. Whatever your trade be, never be asham-
ed of it, or above it.
2. Do not disdain TO keep company withpeo-
pie of your own class; but rather court their
acquaintance; the conversation of men of trade
brings trade-men first talk together, then deal
together
3. Without diligence and application no
trade can be successful or honorably carried
on.
4. Never trade beyond your stock, or giue or
taketoo large credit. Better slip bargain now
and then, than buy greater quantity of goods
than you can pay for.
s. Should your efforts 60 wrong in spite of
all care and diligence, break in time. If you
can pay ten shillings, do not effect to remain
whole until you can pay ten pence.
6. The cruelty of creditors is sometimes in
proportion to the dishonesty Of debtors.
7. 4 well assorted and well chosen collection
of goods are preferable to shop entirely filled
with an immense quantity.
8. The retail lradesman, and tradesman in
general, must lay in a stock Of patience; they
must conquer their passions, and endeavor to
weather the storm of impatience.
9. Pleasures and diversions, when frequent,
are generally fatal to young tradesmen, espec-
tally those diversions which are deemed inuo-
cent, such as horses, dogs and races.
| 10. For the first five or six years of business
tradesman ought to consider himself as worth
nothing, or as ,corth no money ,chich can be ta-
ken out of his business and spent in the I4ruries
@Hs.
IL. Profusion in expenses, living like yonr
neighbors, and mimicking the manner of high
life are the paths which lead directly to bank
ruptcy.
IL. In the employment of the holidays be
sure that exercise only is your object. He
who rides ten miles, and drinks two bottles
of wine. will not find his health greatly i'm.
proved.
Is. Beware of engaging to be security for any
sum which you cannot pay without injuring
yourself, business or credit.
IA. If you marry, let it be one who is moi
above being the wife of tradesman; it may bs
necessary, therefore, to auoid one who has hac
boarding school education.
Is. Trust as little to servants as possible, ant
this caution may be observed without depriv
ing them of just and proper degree of conf
dence.
IS. Idle servants are rarely hohest ones.
servant has taste for dress, rather correct an,
modents it, than prohibit it altogsther.

A Rattlesnake Story.

Last fall IA woman residing in the vicinity
Of Worcester, was picking blackberries in a
field near her house, having with her her on
Iy child, brisht-cyed little fellow of little
less Than year old. The babe sat upon the
ground in an open space, amusing himself
with grasping at clump Of yellow weed
that grew within reach. and eating berries
brought 10 him from time to time by his
mother.
The latter. at length, Intent upon gather
ing the fine fruit, passed around a rock that
hid her child from view. She was about to
return to him, when hearing him laughing
and growing 10 great glee, and thinking he
must be safe a. long a. he was 50 happy,
she remained little longer where she wes.
Suddenly the little voice ceased, and after
