= We trust hn will be able 10 receive all the ada
Ia ION, and all the wealth that his friends pour
upon nun, and ct retain tue humility, The sim
piicfy, the faith and ardor of an anibassador for
, Chftst. Bat unless we are deceived, there is
great al OF danger in such circums tinces.
[Ch. Herald and Messenger
l. We thank our treri for his well IN ant
snanPES. We no longer resist that d cree of
'he Al,crcan public, which makes a mans pri.
Vaey pond for newspapers to angle in; and
Which allows them to hang up for inspecio ion the
details ut domestic affairs, like articles on exhi-
hIion at the Crystal Palace. AS we never have
had the $4,000 given us, tina, is not likely to
hurt us. Bat the meddling with our domestic
ana private affairs is much more real and much
m":e dangerous to our grace--the grace OF good
nature, at any rate. Our cradle, our nursery,
ir wardrobe, our parlor, our house, our lecture
room, in turn furnish paragraphs. Religious
newspapers publish them almost without inqui-
~, especially if they smack Of eccenirici,y.-
Rolling stones may gather no moss, but rolling
stories do.
= few friends have enabled US TO purchase
a iarln IN 4cnox, Berkshire couaty, Mass " hch
ihe deeds, with great defnteness, say contains
'n'nety- -six acres, less" We gave for the

ANXIOUS TO know, that we have happily secured
our brother in law to reside upon the place,
c0nQuct IT. and rpliava of all nd /
sini'fy. lie is young man, about 80 years OF
age reasonably good looking; married. and has
'hFee promising ehdren-two girls and one boy.
ANY facts concerni ing has private affairs may be
directed to Oliver BulIard, Lenox, Mass.
=. we are receiving numerous applications ;
oy letter, and by person, for donations of mo-
iey, on the ground that now We are rich; and /,
hai man who has received $4,000 ought to
estIfy his gratitude to the public by liberal in d
tallments to individuals. Such persons will >
please see about No. 2. But if that be satistac-
Hry, We are willing to contribute for the next
I've years, every cent of our share Of the net :
fronts OF our farm, to charitable uses We =
sill notlfy all Interested when the dividends are :
o be declared. u
D. As the public may find out some other of y
gr private difficulties aud accuse us of wan, . !,
u frankness in this statement, we proceed to
n'orm them of some other facts-for the time =

bhged to intimate the Banks, and give a week P
y exhibit Of their whole condition.
We are troubled to know whether to build at 81
il or not. The principal difficulty consists in P
he means of paying for the house if we build u
ne, At present we not half as certain
bout the means as the newspapers are. -,
Next, we Ind that our economy and our de 9
ire oi FooiE are at loggerheads We have !,
narked aud remarked, we have tried two archi- u
Aets, and they have planned and replanned, and 81
'e lind that it is impossible 10 build a large
ouse with little money. lisa great pity :,
lat 1T is so, tut so it is.
Then we are at dead stand about the mate q
al whether it shall be wood or stone Stone >
the finest quality is close at hand, and very =,
heap; bnt there are moral reasons, as well as y,
nne others. For, the best stone is kind of
iarbie; and marble country house-that q,

very thing stands still. Well, the winter is
riare rs Something may turn up yet. We ID
re .determined to keep an eye upon the news !"
apers, so that, if any good luck befalIs us we
lay find it out. Above all we shall anxiously &c
