He is tempted to acts Of meanness, not to
say dishonesty, such as dodging his creditors
and making promises. which he does not seri
ously expect to fulfil. His virtue is always
taxed and strained by his pride on the one
hand, and the inconvenences of his extrava.
gance on the other; and between tie two the
path of plain and simple honesty is made very
difficult. Sins seldom go alone; one form OF
wrong generally leads to another; and hence,
he whose proud heart requires what his lax
conscience permits, is on the highway of tempta'
tion. What he may be led to do in certain
crises made by his folly, he cannot tell. He
may be so severely chated and pinched, as
even to be guilty of crime of murder.
And then again, he who consumes all, and
moro than all, for the purpose of display, of
course has not penny for the offices of chari-
ty; he can give nothing to aid the poor, to
promote the public good, or disseminate the
knowledge of the Gospel. He is always him
self too poor for this work, and quite likely
soothes his conscience and corrupts his heart
with the plea of his own poverty. He would
be glad to do something, but he cannot--he is
so poor. Very true; but let him inquire into
the reason of his poverty. He lives too fast ;
he spends too much on himself and family; he
keeps up more parade than he can support, and
this is the chief reason why he is unable to
contribute to the interests of charity and be.
nevolence.
How much moro commendable in the sight
of earth and Heaven is that man who is eco
nomican and frugal that he may be liberal !;
who restrains his own passions, from excessive
indulgence, that he may devote at least a por-
ton of his substance to the cause7o of God and
the interests of philanthropy. His is rare
and valuable virtue, and when it shall be more
common in the Church of Christ, it will be
less difficult to find the means for sustaining
and enlargng all her institutions OF love.

Moral Reflections, Sentences and
NaXiDlS.

The constancy of Sages is nothing but the art
of locking up the agitation in their hearts.
Those who are condemned tu lie executed
affect sometimes Il frmness and q contempt Of
death, which is, in fact. only the fear Of
looking in il the face; so that it may be SAID
that this frmness, and this contempt, are to their
minds what the balrdagc is to their eyes.
Philosophy triumphs easily over past, and
over future evils, but present evils triumph
over philosophy.
Few people know what death is. We sci
dom suffer it from resolution, but from stupid
ity and habit and the generality Of men lie
because they caniot help dying.
When great men suffer themselves to be over
come by the length of their mi>tortunes, they
let us see that they only supported them through
the strength of their ambition, not through tlat
OF their minds; aud that with the exception OF
good deal ofvanity, heroes are made just
like other men.
1t requires gre,tef virtues to support gool,
than bad fortune.
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at
steadily.
We often make parade of passions, even
Of the most criminal but envy is tluiId and
shameful passion which we never dare to avow.
The evil which we commit does not dmw
down on US SO much hatred and persecution as
our good qualities.
We have more power than will; and it is of
ten by way of excuse to ourselves that we an.
cy things are impossible.
If we had no faults ourselves, we shonldmot
take so much pleasure in remarking then in
others.
Jealousy lives upon dnubts-it becomes
madness, or ceases entirely, us soon as we Iass
from doubt 10 certainty.
Pride always cumpensat,s itself, and l'ses
nothing, even when it renounces vanity.

Living beyond our Means.

For the sake of appearance, to keep up a
display and make a figure in the world, multi
tudes adopt the vici"us habit Of spending more
than they earn. Pride and fashion exercise a
mercilcss despotism over their purses. The
rich in their abundance do not feel the burden,
but when the same thing is attempted BY those
in moderate and humble circumstances, then
'cones the tug of war" In order to ape the
attitudes of wealth, they exhaust all their re-.
sources, and even strain their credit till it is
perfectly threadbare.
There is much in the habits and customs Of
society furnishing a strong temptation to this
course. vet it is u serious evil 1t is not right
as.between man aud man it is an extrava-
gance that carries in its train pecunary in.
Justice He who lives beyond his means must
supply the deficiency from the pockets of his
neighbors, very often upon the strength of a
deceptive credit. His very display gives him
an appearance of atflucnce that misguides the
Judgment of others. He knowingly passes
himself off for more than he is worth, and what
is this but a species OF fraud!
There is of course an end to this habit, some
where, the commercial reputation Of the indi-
vdua must finally be swamped by the mum.
Der of his unpaid indebtedness; yet the whole
process is one of dishonesty, even before this
catastrophe reveals it. No Christian ought to
be guilty oft. lie not only disgraces himself
thereby, bnt also jeopards the reputation of
religion among men.
1t is, moreover, a very uncomfortable habit.
He who lives above his means, generally owes
more than he can pay; and the farther he goes,
the worse he makes his condition. He be.
comes stereotypcd borrower-pays one debt
by contracting another, has a great many
debts to pay, petty and annoying bills scatter.
ed in all directions, which he does not know
how to NEE. They are constantly haunting
him with their unpleasant clamors; they sac
rifce his reputation, and give the co munty
the lust impreSson that he is a poor pay mas
ter. All this must he a source of great incon-
vcnience and perpIexity, far to" great to find
an adequate compensation IN little meaning
loss m,rade. It would be far wiser, involve
much less friction Of the nerves, to shine less
and enjoy more.
The temptations of the habit are both nu.
merons and dangerous. 1t tempts man to
sacrifice his sense of honor to place light es-
tnate upon his word, to be easy in promising
and very slow in fulfilling. His moral princi-
ples become loose, and pass into the state of
decay. His wants brbe him; and he is likely,
under the plea Of necessity, to do what under
other circumstances he would not think of do
inc. Sometimes he is led to contract debts,
and then move away, leaving them unsettled
and unpaid. Pcrha ps he runs his credit in one
place till he runs it out; and then does the
same thing in another, till he finally runs him
self out.

yet, he easily silenced this objection; for at
religious fairs he had often seen goods dlspo-
sed of by rattle, and had himself more than once
taken chance. Another rattle for valuable
articles had been announced for the next night
at the Union, and Westfield, urged by the hope
of new successes, resolved to be present. and
again try his luck.
The following morning found the young man
in more sober, thoughtful mood. He did not
show his watch to his mother, nor mention to
her the fact of having won it. Indeed, when
she asked him where he had been so late on
the night before, he evaded the QUO 'tion.
On his wav to the store in which he WAS en-
ployed, Westfeld called in at a jewellers and
asked the value Of his watch.
sit is worth about seventy.fve dollars" an
swered the jewellcr, looking very earnestly at
Westfieid, and with certain meaning in his
countenance that the young man did not like.
''It is perfectly new, as you can sec. | would
like to sell it,"
"What do you ask for itl'

"Ill buy it for fifty" said the jeweller.
"Very well, it is yours"
Westfed felt like guilty man. He was
certain that the jeweller suspected him of hav-
ing obtained il through some improper means
The money was paid over at once, and thrust
ing the sum into hi> pocket, he went hurriediy
out. As he was leaving the store, he encoun-
tered Mr. Hartman, who was entering. He
dropped his eyes to the ground, while Il GRIM
Sun flush overspread his face.
'Ah, Mr.. Wes,ield,' said Mr. Hartman, de-
tainng him, Il am glad to meet you. Will
you call at my office this morninsp
If you wish me to do so, replied the young
man, struggling to overcome the confusion OF
mind into which the sudden encounter, under
the circumstances, had thrown him.
Il do. Call at eleven o'clock-I wish to see

DO you know that young man?' inquired
the jewelier, as Mr.. Hartman, to whom he was
well known, presented himself at his counter.
What young man 2 inquired Mr.. Hartman.
'The young man with whom | saw you

Yes. His name is Westfield; and very
excellent young man he is. Do you know
any thing about him.?

fifty dollars, which sold for seventy five yes

rattle it,
The jeweller didn't say this 1t came in his
thoughts to say it. but he checked the utter
an"e, and merely replied:
Nothing at all. He is stranger to me-

A Man KILLED Br HIS WIFE.-We regrettot
learn that on Sunday evening the lst inst-
lev Hoffman, Of Emanuel county, was killed BY
his wife. The facts, as we have them from
gentleman Of that county, seem to be as followss
Hoffman had been at some of the neighboring
dram shops during the day, and had besome ses
ry much intoxicated; lie started for home, and ar
rived late in the evening; he took his gun and
shot a dog lying in the yard, at which his wife
made some remarks; he then turned to her and
commenced abusing and cursing her, swearing
that he would kill her, and picked up his gun
and attempted to shoot. She ran and he after
her, lie threw the gun at her, then took up a.
stake some eight or nine feet long, pursued her,
and coming up with her, knocked her down.
After recovering enough to rise, he still thump-
ing her, she drew pistol and shot him in the
breast, he then drew his knife, she ran again, he
after her and continued the pursuit till he fell
from exhaustion; he lived but short while af.
ter he fell, but became more composed and sober
before he died. Such is the statement We have:
Of this sad transaction; the parties, it is said,
have not lived very pleasantly together.
Hoffman was drinking man, and frequently
in his cups. Mrs. Hoffman gave herself up to.
the officers, and after an examination before Jas.
NJ. Tapley, a Justice Of the Peace, was put under
bonds for appearance at the Superior Court Of
that county. -.Sandersville Georgian.
