MARK OF ILL-BREEDISG.-Thcre is no
better test of ill-brccding than the practice of
interrupting another in conversation by spca.
king, or commencing a remark before another
has fully closed. No well bred person ever
does it, nor continues conversation long with
one who does. The latter often finds an inter
csting conversation abruptly waived, closed,
or declined by the former, without suspec-
ting the cause. A well-brcd person will not
even interrupt one who is in all respects
greatly inferior. you wish to judge the
good-brccdlng of "A person with whom you
are but little acquainted, observe him or her
in this respect, and you will not be deceived.
However intelligent, fluent, or easy she may
appear, this grace proves the absence of true
politcncss. 1t is often amusing to see per.
sons priding themselves on the geniIity OF
their manners, and putting forth all their
efforts to appear to advantage in many other
respects, SO readily betray all in this particu-
lar.

the other, "that docs not differ much from
my experience. When was twenty, hired

never enjoyed myself better SINCE" The ex.
perience Of the two individuals teaches, first,
that ones happiness does not depend on the
amount of his gains or the station he occu-
pies second, that very small beginnings, with
industry and prudence, may secure wealth.

We think it Is Dow, Jr, who gives the
following quaint adviccin one Of his "Patent
Sermons"
"Let your home be provided with such
comforts and ncccssarics, as picty, pickles,
potatoes, pots and kettles, brushes tongs,
brooms and bcnevolcuce, bread and charity,
cheese and faith, flour, affection, cider, SINGER
ity, onions, integrity, vinegar, wine and wis.
dom. Have all these always on hand, and
happiness will be with you. Don't drink
anything intoxicating-go about your busi,
ness after breakfast-lounge little after
dinner-chat after tea-and kiss after quar-
rclling; and all the joy, and the peace and
the bliss this world can afford will be yours,
till the grave closes over you, and your spirits
are borne to brighter and happier sphere.
So may it be.

From the Memphis (1snn.) EIgle.
General Pierce and Western Interests


We bespeak the attention Of both Wings and
Democrats to an article in days paper TAX en-
from the Washington Republic. showing General
Perce's opinions and position on the subject ut the
improvement Of our western rivers. II will be seen
that General p. 10 thoroughly and radically COM
mitted to incorporating opposition TO all APP
preparations for such objects. That General Pierce
10 honest sincere, and patriotic In his convictions
on the subject, do not doubt. II Ia in the very
integrity Of sthese convictions that there is 10 be
found an insuperable objection to his support for
and the duty Of the Government to extend its aid
to the improvement Of these ''inland seas"-theso
highways of our domestic commerce. We do not
impeach General Pierce's motives in thus setting
himself against the interes Of the West and tho
Southwest; but submit khigs and Democrats
throughout the Weet and southwest. whether the
policy to which General Pierce ia conscentously
welded is such an ono as harmonizes with their
just rights and their important interests.
We repeat it, we Lave no war to make upon
Gen. Pierce as individual. From oil we can
learn OF him, We are inclined TO believe him. per-
sonally, unexceptionable. We regard him sound
on the slavery question, and are unwilling TO be.
lieve of him that he will allow himself to be made
such tool OF party faction to withhold his dis
tinct endorsement of the Compromise. But his
opinions the subject OF the rights, powers, and
duties Of the Government in regard to the im-
provencnt Of western rivers and harbors. furnish
substantial and legitimate ground OF objection TO
him by every citizen of the Mississppi valley.
General Pierce has doubtless made very faithful
representative and guardian Of the interests Of
New Hampshire; but it has been his fault, and 10
the misfortune of the party which nominated him,
that in his views OF legislation he has not been ma
fiona enough to take into account the nterssts OF
the Great West also. .... .-
