DrGNrTY OF VocATIoN. No impression
prevailing in society. is more false or fatal 10
the manhood Of people, than that which
gauges mans worth or respectability by the
field Of labor or profession he occupies, 50
long as that labor or profession is used or
honest; denying most emphatically. that dis
honesty is ever useful. The nobility Of man
in this country not depending, thank God
upon hereditary honor, title or wealth, should
flow not from the nature Of his honest toll,
but from the spirit he carries to that toll, the
spirit By which, with or against the smiles Of
temporal fortune, he shapes his career among
and his intercourse with bis fellow men. II

Of the true man, who turns chimney-sweeping

and blood Of his fellow-men.

Some years ago, I was pleasantly surprised
by receiving a visit from Harry Stanley, an
old and valued friend Of mine, who owns a
noble plantation some ten miles distant from
my residence. lie had ridden across, as
country folks Oflcn do, not 50 much because
Of any particular business he had with me, as
70 have a chat with me about old times, and
Tue crops. and politics, and those lesser mat
lers Of common intesest to both. As had
not seen Harry for several months owing to
tie illness Of Mrs. Stanley his visit was
even more than usually agreeable to me, In
asmuch as Il proved that my old college chum
was still the same frank. easy, warm-hearted
fellow as ever My first question naturally
touched upon the health Of Mrs. Stanley,
which I was cratifed 10 learn had greatly inn
proved Of late Afterwards, we fell into a
general confab; and, when the newer topics
Of the day were exhausted, Harry strolled
with me around the farm, noting with prac-
tised cyc the growing grain, and speculating
upon the probabilities of a bounliiul harvest.
Having extended our walk across the fields,
We took to the bills beyond, and at length
seated ourselves beneath fine old chestnut
tree, from whence there was a noble prospect
Of the surrounding country.
Taking a cigar from case he was accus-
toned to carry in his pocket, my friend pro-
ceeded leisurely to light il and when this
feat was accomplished, a few whiffs bad been
taken In silence, all at once, and TO my greas
surprise, he suddenly broke out with
say. Urban, do you know anything Of

TnE GARDINER TRlAL.-Ths most extra

money involved, but the surprising chapter Of
political morals that opens beneath the legal
que ,tion. which gives it The most marked in
terest The Augusta Conatitutionalist re-
marks as follows
"This trial, now progressing 1t Washington,
is exciting general interest throughout the
country. There are many peculiar circum-
stances conneeting with it, and the result is
one involving the character Of more persons
than that Of the defendant on trial. 1t seems
impossible that 50 largo an amount could
have been fraudulently abstracted from the
Treasury and yet the agents and attorneys
through whose aid it was accomplished be un-
acquainted with the fraud If Mr.. Gardiner
