Owing to these changes IN the mode of

what date in Old Style would certain

date in New Style any day of Old Style
would represent, we must observe the fol-

If the event happened before the first of

The Tests of Character.
OR, THE LITTLE MEANNEss OF LIFE.

1
Human character is tested and devel-
qped in a variety of forms, and in little
things as well as great. There are GER
thin Individuals who render themselves
pntemptible. if not odious, in the estima-
t ion of the manly and generous, by PETTY
'tEANNEss if we may be allowed to employ
such phrase. They are constantly en-
gagged in sneaking, unworthy and discred-
table actions, and are either gratifed in
taus lndulginga miserable species of dis
honesty, or deceived into the belief that
they escape observation. They appear to
take delight in small matters, and will la
Dor for hours and days to accomplish some
comparatively Insignificant object, and this
rrF,- Without the decencies and proprieties
Iofiife. They forgetthat the eyes of others
are upon them, or they become so devo-
ted TO this system by habit, that they can
not help its indulgence.
There are some men so mean that they
are absolutely dishonest. They disregard
conscience, violate honor, perpetrate false
hood, and all IN q sordd and mercenary
spirit, and under the hollow pretence
that such system is sanctioned by busi-
ness, by competition, by rivalry in trade,
and by the Iaudable desire to obtain an
Independence. They appear to think
that they may do anything within the
low, provided it brings them gam. Self is
the idol of their worship, and in offering
up incense before the aItars Of Mammoa,
they sacrifice all the purer, higher and
holier principles and impulses, that are Sc
~t+TltgG 70 g.gu-s : -5I7sI adofn human
En6lare. The end almost invariably is,
THAT the mean man is discovered, exposed,
yeSpised and condemned. He thus pas
ses through the world with the finger Of
scorn pointed at him; and descends into
the 8" silent valley" without one grateful
recollection of his conduct, without sim
gle tear OF love shed above his grave, or a
solitary truthful tribute of friendship paid

Finger Marks,

A mason was employed to thin whiten
the walls of "a chamber. The fluid was
colorless TIL dried. Being alone in the
room, he opened a drawer, examined a
p9cket-bools, and handled the papers, but
6nding no money, placed all things as
tAeY were, forgetting that IL hours dry
the marks OF his vet I'm
gers. But the telI.tale finger marks,
watch he little thought any one would ey-
er see, exposed his guilt.
Children, beware of evil thoughts and
deeds They have all finger marks,
which will be revealed at some time. If
you disobey your parents or tell false
hood, or take what is not your own, you'll
make sad finger marks on your character.
And so it is with any and all sin. 1t de-
files the character. 1t betrays those who
engage in it by the marks 1t makes on
them. The marks may be almost If not
quite colorless at first. But even if they
should not be seen during any of your
days on earth-whch is not at all likely
yet there is day coming in which all
finger marks or sin stains on the charac-
ter viii be manifest.
!. Never suppose that you can do what is
-7-Tg, without having stain upon your
character. 1t is impossible. If you in
jure another, you, by that very deed, in
jure your own self. Ifyou disregard the
law of God, the injury is sadly your own.
Think OF it, ever bear it in mind, children
that every sin you commit. leaves mark
upon yourselves.
Your character should be coating OF
pure truth. Let cheerfulness ever be man

Parrot Talk.

The bad Latin and French displayed in
Congress, mas passed into a proverD; and
many a man who might have held re-
spectacle position in the House of Repre-
sentatives and Senate, has been ruined by
the display of his pedantry. The late
Timothy Fuller, of Massachusetts,, who
was especially addicted to quotations, ma
ny years ago covered himself with confu-
sion By concluding speech with long
extract from Homer, which not a dozen
men in the house could understand. The
moment he resumed his seat, old George
Kramer of Pennsylvania, rose Z: and by
way of ludicious contrast and punishment
let of a volley Of low Pennsylvania Dutch,
to the amusement of every one, and to he
chagrin and lasting modification of the
gentlemen from Massachusetts.
Mr. William Hastead, of New Jersey,
who, at one time represented his native
State in the American House Of Repre-
sentatives, and who, everybody will ad-
nit, is man Of ability, who might ac-
qulre eminence in any deliberative assem-
oily in the world, comparatively fell from a
really respectable position as statesman,
by interlarding his "frst great speech" !"
with Latin enough to 6l'a good sized COM
mon place book. When he had conclu-
ded, old Ratlff Boone, of Indiana, imita-
ting the example of George Kramer
of other days, deluged him with an ora
ton IN the Pottowottomie dialect.
The best, the purest, and the most eio-
quent OF all English writers, Junlus was
content with the language of his country.
In no instance throughout his voluminous
and unequalled letters, can there be found
an instance Of his quoting Latin or French,
unless compelled TO it By technicalities !;
and, even then, he evidently sought to
avoid the folly. Doctor Johnson, Hume,
Goldsmith, Gibbon, of other days, very
rarely resorted to them, and Macauley.
and most of the ADLER literary men of the
present day, give them the go by.
One of the purest writer's of this coun-
try, who, as an editor, until he retired
from the press altogether, held most en-
viable position as literary man. not only
eschewed learned quotations but it was
his boast that the English language was
the only one he employed; and that il
was capable of subscribing all the practical
purposes of editorial duty he aimed at
Cabbett, ,thoughan accomplished Latin and
French scholar, obtained good degree of
em;nence he achieved, by the simplicity and
purity of his English The London Times
a gazette which is certainly conducted
with an ability equal to that displayed by
any paper in the world, is rarely dlshgur-
ed By quotations from foreign tongues
The example is worthy imitation by all
who would achieve editorial eminence.-

Ass1srANcE IN BUsrNEss.-It was said

Ass1sTANcE IN BUsINEss.-It was said
that The secret of Napoleon's greatness
lay more in his judicious choice of assis-
tance than in what he did himself, and
this was remarkable feature in the char
acter and success of the renowned mer-
chant, Samuel Budget. In fact, it is only
part Of any considerable business that a
man can do with his own hands and eyes,
and it is of great importance that the other
parts should be we'll done. To choose
assistants, therefore, and treat them well
both in point of salary and personal inter
course, is, think. the part of true wis
dom. We read of one who was prosper
ed in everything that he had for his ser
wants sake; and good assistant in
business, one who will think and plan,
and execute for the good of the business
is not to be lightly esteemed. The sooner
however, you get rid Of clerks and fore
men who frequent saloons and theatres,
and ride out on Sabbath days, the better
for your own interest. A word 70 the wise
should be enough on this head.
