4 SHORT SERMON on MANILNEss.-
Learn from the earliest days to inure
your principles against the peril of ridi-
cule. You can no more exercise your
reason if you live in the constant dread
Of laughter, than you can enjoy your
life if you are in the constant terror of
death. If you think it right to differ
from the times, and to make point Of
morals, do it, however rustic, however
antiauated, however pedantic, it may
appear; do it not for insolence, but Sc
riousIy and grandly-as a man who wore
IA soll of his own In his bosom; and did
not wait TIL it was bFeathed into him by
the breath Of fashion. SIDNEY Smith.

The SroRY IN NuTsHELL.-The
" "-Albany Knickerbocker,n under the
head Of ''Independence and Progress. y
tells the whole story Of our nations birth
and greatness, and progress in the arts
and sciences, in remarkable short par
agraph for theme SO comprehensive
The style is rather racy but decidedly to
the point:
"It IS bat seventy-seven years ago
since Uncle Sam was born, and what an
eventful sevcn'y-seven years have they
been! Seventy-seven years ago the
United States was aremote circumstance;
they now compose the secoDd CONNER
cial nation in the world Ia three-quar-
ters of a century they have revolution
lied the world, built up an empire, lick
ed cur mother, and fenced in continent.
In less time than it took Methuselah to
get out Of swaddling-clo;hes. We have
made more canals, tanned more lightning,
and harnessed more steam. and at great
er cost in money, than the whole reve-
nues in the world could have paid for,
the day he got out of his time. In sew
enty-fve years We have not only changed
the politics of the earth, but its wearing
appearl-cotton shirts being as much
the offspring Of the United States, as
ballot boxes and Democracy, since the
fourth Of July, l776, the whole world
has been TO school, and what is better,
has learned more common sense than was
taught in the previous four thousand
years, The problem of self-goyernment
has been solved, and its truth made i'm
mortal as Washington or yellow corn
Its adaptation to all the wants Of the
more aspiring nation has been made more
signally manifest. Under its harmoni-
Gus working, a Republic has grown up in
an ordinary lifetime, that would have
taken any other system of government
thousand years to have brought about.
Yes, in less time than it takes some
greenhouse plant to arrive at maturity,
we have built a nation that has spread
itself from Maine to Mexico, end from
the Atlantic to the Pacific nation that
has caught more whales, licked more
Mexicans, planted more telegraphic posts,
and owns more steamboats,, than any ma
ton that has ever lived, or ever will
iye.'

AMERICAN MANNERs.-Dr. Potter, IN

in this country are rather too prone to

railroads shall find occasion to put in
side their carriages printed requests to
the passengers to use the sPitioons and
not the floor, and to not pat their feet
upon the seats-so long as we shall con-

political harangues with the slang Of the
fish market, let us not be surprised nor
angry, if foreigners sometimes make
themselves witty at our expense And
in the meantime, let all those who are
intrusted with the care of the young,
use their utmost efforts TO correct these
national barbarisms, and to form the
manners of the rising generation after
a model more elevated, and more re-

A Cunning Trick DR.. Walcott,
the celebrated Peter Pindar, was an
eccentric character, and had great
many queer notions Of his own. A good
story Is told by one Of his cotemporarics
OF the manner in which he once ,ricked
his publisher. The latter, wishing to
buy the copyright Of his works, offered
him by letter life-annuity Of a2o0.-
The doctor, learning that the publisher
was very anxious to purchase, demanded
$500. In reply the latter appointed a
day on which he would call on the doc
tor, and talk the matter over. At the
day assigned, the doctor received him in
entire deshabille, even to the night cap f;
and having aggravated the sickly look Of
a naturally cadaverous face by purpose
ly abstaining from the use of razor for
some days, he had all the appearance of
a candidate for quick consumption. Ad-
ded to this, the crafty author assumed a
hollow and most sepulchral cough, such
as would excite the pity of even a sher-
IFS officer, and make rich mans heir
crazy with joy. The publisher, howev-
er, refused giving more than 92OO, till
suddenly the doctor broke out into vio-
lent fit of coughing, which produced an
offer Of ESQ. This the doctor peremp-
toriy refused, and was seized almost in
stantly, with another even more fright
fui and longer protracted attack, that
nearly suffoeated him-when the publish
er, thinking it impossible that such man
could live long, raised bis offer, and closed
with him at 93oo. The old rogue lived
some twenty-five or thirty years after
wards

LOVE AND REvENGE.-An account Of
the recent murder ola Turk by Greek
is thus given in the Journal des Debats
At Trebisond, two individuals, one a
Greek named Catinaki, and the other a
Turk named Mustapha Aga, paid their
addresses to the same Turkish woman.
The lady naturally had a preference to
her countryman, but the Greek was rich
and amorous, and, by means of a bribe,
he induced MS rival to promise that he
would cease his relations with her. 1t
appears that the Turk received the mon
ey, but did not keep his word, and the
matter coming to the ears of Catinaki,
he resolved on revenge He in conse-
quence invited Mustapha Aga to dine
with him. The invitation was accepted,
but the Turk has not since been seen.
Considerable agitation was caused by the
circumstances In the town, and the Turk
ish population demanded vengeance
Catinaki took refuge with the Greek
consul. He declares that he is inno-
cent, and that the Turk has voluntarily
left Trebisond, leaving his friends-or
rather his accomplices-to get up the
report that he has been assassinated.
At the first moment the Greek consul re-
fused TO deliver up Catinaki, boldly
maintaining that he was the victim of
conspiracy; but facts have since come to
Light to contradict this idea The gov
ernor of the town has arrested two per-
sons who were present at the dinner
and, from their confessions, it appears
that Mustapha was in fact, killed during
the dinner, by pistol ball by Catinaki
himself, and that the body was after
wards cut in pieces, put in box, and
thrown into the sea.

BEAUTIES OF DEsPoTIsM.-Thef follow
ing method of recruiting the Russian ar
my in Poland as given in a foreign paper
shows how the Defender of the I Crthodox
faith obtains recruits for services in his
holy war:
The authorities empowred to raise le-
vies (braaka) do not publicly summon
the individuals liable to serve, to appear
at given place, but take their measures
in secret, and with the aid of the militia
ry enter the houses during the night,
generally from Twelve till five in the NOR
mug, during the long winter nights be-
fore Christmas, and drag their victims
out of their beds, breaking open doors
and locks if necessary, to get at them:
for which purpose they are required by
law to go prepared with crow-bars and
other instruments. After the recruit
has been kept awhile in temporary
place of security, he is drauchted of to
the depot, and there.the 6rakIen OF ex-
animation takes place. Those found fit
for service are formed into gangs in
squares, along the component rows of
which the escort stretches pole, which
each recruit lays hold of. Should one
of those unfortunate wretches lean over
the pole that rails him in, to snatch
kiss Or press the hand of the parent he
is leaving behind, the ready escort is
there, riding up and down the sides of
the square, to administer correction with
the point Of his lance. No wonder that
when these tender measures are resorted
to, to afford the enthusiastic sons OF holy
Russia an opportunity of focking to the
banners Of the Gar and fighting for the
orthodox faith, allE urope should resoa1d
with the wall.

The Book OF PRovERBs.-What a
book it is-that of Proverbs Forget
that We were ever obliged to repeat them
mechanically in our youth; read them as
they stand in all their breadth and rich>
ness of their meaning, with our better
experience of life, and nothing short of
utter astonishment and admiration will
be our feelings. Such gems of wisdom
in such golden setting from one who
lived and died before the name Of wis
dom was known among the nations from
whom the worlds sages have since
sprung What shrewd perception of
human character under all conditions
and moods What comprehensive ex
hibitlon of life in It's whole compass, and
Of Divine Providence in its moral aims
and sure reward and punishmeIts =
What counsels to irugality, industry,
moderation, prudence. benevolent, peacel
What varied illustrations from man and
beast, nature and art How terse and
polished the style How condensed the
thought To think of reading the little
book through in day would be folly,
although Its lines may be run over in an
hour. Each line is a sermon, and gives
food for new reflection every time we re-
cur to it.-Rer. Samuel Osgood's 'God

MARSHAL NEY was one of the first
generals who, in 1914, after the fall of
Napoleon, gave in his adhesion to the
Bourborns. In reward, he was created
peer of France and Chevalier of St.
Louis. In February, 1914, when the
news arrived that Napoleon had returned
from Elba he went to the king, Louis
XVIII, and promised to bring the ex-
emperor in an iron cage He put him.
self at the head of the troops, to oppose
Napoleon's progress; but, unfortunate
ly for himself, his opinions again under
went sudden change, and be embraced
the cause Of his old commander. When
Napoleon fell from the throne a second
time, Marshall Ney was arrested and
condemned to death by the Court of
Peers, and shot in the alley of the OBJ
servatory, Paris. He refused to have
his eyes bound, and, placing his right
hand upon his breast, said, in firm voice
soldiers, aim at my heart !" He
fell, struck by six balls in the breast and
three in the haed. The French have
recently erected bronze statute to his
memory On the very spot where he was
executed.

A RECKLESS You've MAx.-Edgar

or of France, is in prison for debt. I'm
mediately on his accession to the high
Offices to which mis- Majesty appointed
him he commenced career of extrava-
gance which very soon brought the sher-
IFS down upon him, and as he could not
pay, he was in immediate danger of pris-
on. The Emperor released him from
his awkward predicament. In a few
months he was again in similar posi-
ton, and his family was obliged to ex-
trlcate him, though the sums requiring
liquidation were really enormous. The
foolish fellow put his neck third time
into the moose, and as his friends and his
sovereign refused to interfere any fur
ther, he is now, and has been, for some
weeks, at the Debtors Prison, at olichy.
