BUSINESS HABITs-Itis is an awkward
thing to begin in the world without a
dOllar-and yet hundreds of individuals
have raised large fortunes from a single
shilling. The stone obelisk which the
citizens of London erected in Fleet
street as testimony of their respect
for the political conduct Of the late Mr.
Woithman, had better been dedicated to
the memory of his capacity for business
"a capacity which enabled him, as it
did Stephen Girard, to create thousands
of pounds from single bank note. /
know a gentleman, a builder, in an ex-
tensive way of business, now well worth
100000, who was a brick layers la
borer some six years ago, at 81 per day.
He became rich BY acting upon princi-
pie. He has frequently assured me,
that even when he was in i'll paid en-
ployment, he continued to save fifty
cents per day, and thus laid by Sl82
the first year. From this moment his
fortune was made: Like hound upon
the right scent-the game, sooner or
later won, was sure to become his own.
Another very extensive frm-one of
which has since died and left behind
him an immense property--the other is
still alive, and has realized as much;-I
and. yet, both these men came to New
York without cent, and swept the
very shop wherein they both afterwards
made their fortunes. Like the builder,
whom we have mentioned, they posses
sed an indomitable spirit of industry,
perseverance and frugality, and the
first half-crown became in consequence
the foundation of a million more.
The world at large would call these
individuals fortunate, and ascribe their
property to good luck; but the world
would be very wrong in doing so. If
there was any luck at all in the matter.
it was the luck of possessing clear
heads and active hands, by means of
which multitudes Of others have carved
out their own fortunes, as well as those
instances above cited. BY the word
business" means habit Paradoxical
as it may appear at first sight, business
is nothing in the world but habit-tbe
soul of which is regularity. Like the
fy-wheel upon a steam engine, this last
keeps the motion of life steady and un-
broken, thereby enabling the machine
to do its work without obstruction.-I
Without this regularity, your motions
as merchant may be capital, b9tthey !
never will be proEable. -.
Picture to yourse ia ship without a
compass; a lock without askey; or a
carriage without wheels. These are all
,ypes Of a man Of business without reg
ularity-Eseless
The force of example is the greatest
force in the world, because it is the force
of habit which has been truly and ap-
propriately calei second nature. It's
overwhelming influence is so great that
onest men become rogues by contact;
/, fact which every alderman in the
country, who is acquainted with the
inside of a prison, will confirm. IF
.'rong-minded men have frequently
fallen victims to evil example, how shall
the weak escape? Very essily!--the

THERE SHE STANDS, LOOK AT HER.-
Iowa, noble Iowa, youngest and fairest
daughter in the Sisterhoodl There she
stands look at her: yes, Wings, Free
soilers, Fusionists, look at her, and
laugh; look at her all ye people, for
your redemption is nigh. Look at her,
Nebraskaites, and tremble, howl We
traitorous crew, for you must walk the
plank, with a stone tied to your heels;
settle your accounts, for your doom is
fixed; you have been weighed in the
balance and you kick the beam.
The victory in Iowa is overwhelming.
Senator Dodge, in his late speech, boast
ed that he represented State that had
never thrown any but Locofoco vote;
but his rejoicing is turned to woe
The majority of thousands for Grimes
as Governor, admonishes such politi-
clans not to boast themselves of the NOR
row.
The Governor elected rode over the
entire State, addressing the people in
sixty eight counties, and when it is re-
membered that Iowa has heretofore been
rigidly true in its allegiance to the So
called Democratic party, the victory Of
the people is brilliant one, and a cheer
ing opening of the fall campaigns.

Love, SUICIDE. AND MApp,.e, w

Love, SUICIDE, AND MARRIAeE.-We
gave brief account of an attempt At
selfdestruction with pistol, at Ypsi-
lanti, BY q young lady who had arrived
from Chicago. in seach of young man,
zho had been triAing with her afee-
tons, to ''bresk an honest promise in
love" The young lady was not one
of that kind who.
"Nsyer told her love,
But let coneealmer I. like worm i the bud,
Feed on her damask cheek;
And with green and yellow melancholy,
Sat like patience on q monument,
Smiling at grief"
She sailed out in search of her truant
lover who lived at Ypsilanti. She
came prepared for desperate things
On her arrival. the girl he had left be-
hind him, found he was absent Adrian,
and she tried to shoot herself to as
susge her grief. The mother of the
young man. supposing he had been play
ing falsely with the fair one, immediate
ly sent her off in charge of another son
giving him a hundred dollars to pay
expenses-to hunt up the undutiful boy
and get an explanation, and have full
justice meted out, il justice was in the
premises.
Tha: she loved him, 1.-THE one at
Adrian she gave sufficient evidence af-
ter her arrival at Ypsilanti, in the at
tempt TO shuttle of her mortal coil, by
the means of "villainous saltpetre," in
which she failed by flash in the pan,
or taking wide aim.
After starting for Adrian, the two
proceeded costly on the road as far as
Saline-a distance Of nine miles-from
where, the next day, the mother re-
ceived letter from her son, saying that
after looking the subject all over, he
had concluded on the whole to marry
the girl kimseLt-that the job had been
done up; and that they had concluded
to proceed to New York, Saratoga,
Nahant, Newport, &C.. &c, to spend
the honeymoon, and the--one hundred
dollars.
After making the acquaintance of the
brother, she evidently said in herself
THAT now nv love is thaw'd
Which, like waxon image 'gainst fire,
Bears no impression Of the thing it was"
towards the 'tother brother, at Adrian.
Under the circumstances, inasmuch as
it was call in the family" and "bird
in the hand is worth two in the bush,"
she concluded to take the one she could
make sure of. Surely the "tide of true
love never did run smooth. ."-Detroit

TIE IxPoRTASoE OF THE APPROACH
ne CONGRESSIONAL ELEcTIoss.-The
Buffalo Commercial submits the follow
ing thoughts on the importance of the
pending Congressional elections:
1t may be assumed. as general pro-
position. that the political COMPLEXION
of the. National House of Representa-
tlves, chosen for the last two wears of a
Presidential term will foreshadov the
political character of the President to
be next thereafter elected. A recur-
renee to the history of the country for
the last quarter of a century will ascer-
tain the fact that this indication has
been unerring--that there has not been
single exception since 1897. We do
60 further back. for the two-fold reason
that the period named is sufficient for
our purpose and the circumstances of
the election in 1924, when there was a
multiplicity of candidates, and that of
1920, when there was only one, prevent
those epochs from being used to support
or controvert our hypothesis. But we
presume that every Congressional elec-
ton next preceding the election of q
President, in which there was lively
competition, would present state Of
facts which, when considered in connex-
ion with the choice of an executive,
would bear us out in our assumption
Taking it for granted, then, that we
shall be able to determine the political
character of President Pierce's success
sor by the party associations Of the men
whom the people choose to represent
them in the next Congress, the Con-
gressional elections which have already
commenced, and which are to be contin-
ued. with intervals of greater or less
length for twelve month to come, ac-
quire an unusual interest and impor-
tance. And in view of the fact that
these members of Congress will be call
ed upon to choose a President in de-
fault of an election by the people-are-
suit not at all improbable, in the pres
ent political condition of the country
that interest and Importance becomes
greatly magni6ed.

Rg- The first gold mine discovere,

@ The first gold mine discovered
and worked in the United States was
the "Reid mine," in Cabarras county.
North Carolina. 1t was brought to
light by the discovery, in brook, of a
seventeen pound lump of pure gold, by
little son of John Reid (the proprietor
of the tract while engaged on Sunday
in shooting fish with bow and arrow.
This was in the year 1899. 1t was not,
however, until several years afterwards
that the lump was known to be gold, the
boys father having kept it meanwhile,
on account of its weight, as good and
curious looking stone which would keep
his cabin door open. When informed at
length that it was gold. and asked his
price for it, he concluded to sell it for
So, so. He was one of the Hessian
soldiers who were sold by their "noble
prince" to England, to fight the Ameri-
cans in the Revolutionary war. and one
would naturally suppose that he ought
to have known the value of gold, if any
one did.-Hartford Times.

DEATH OF SosrAe.-The press in this
country, and ourselves we believe
among the number, have given currency
to the suspicion that the great vocalist
met her death in the city Of Mexico by
poison, instead of cholera. A letter to
the editor of the New Orleans Bee,
under date Of August 4th. from DR..
LOUIS GARoxE, who was one of the
physicians in attendance of Pozzolini,
md who visited Madame Sontag during
her brief illness. would seem to take

= Z SHADOWS ON THE WALL.

When busy day had sunk to sleep,
And gloom had yeiled the sky,
And we thoughtful vigil keep
While silent hours feet by;
The taper's glance then may we mark
/. On dim seen objects fall,
Portraying itfully and dark
Their shadows on the wall.
Thus to our soul in musings come
The phantoms of the past;
Fair scenes of youth distant home,
Hopes, Joys, too sweet to last;
Real no moreno longer bright,
Obeying mem'ry's call
They come, but show in mem'ry's light,
As shadows on the wall.
And they, the parted and. the dead,
Unutterably dear;
Around them still Loves light is shed,
Shining on Sorrows tear.
But changed is every hue-alas,
How dim and silent all;
Across the pensive mind they pass,
Like shadows on the wall.
The radient sun of glowing days,
The moonlight's tender beam,
The social hearth's domestic blaze,
The watchful taper's CLEAN;
Loves torch, and Mem'ry's lamp,
where'er,
In cot or stately hall,
They shine, too sure an image there,
A shadow on the wall.
Lights of this world! since thus ye be
Associate with shade,
o for yon realm, wherein to see
A better light display'd!
There is no cloud nor changeful ray,
Nor night with sable pail;
There tears and sorrows pass away,
Like shadows from the wall.

EE The Chicago Press, leading
Democratic paper, takes comfort as fol.
lows, in the chastisement recently visited
upon the party in Iowa:
This result is not unexpected, nor
have eany crocodile tears to shed over
it. The leaders of the Democratic par
ty tried to make the repeal of the Mis-
siouri Compromise test question, and
the people fioored them for their iniaui-
ty. Whenever our party is right, we
are ready to take of our coat and work
for it with mind, voice, heart, arm and
pen. But when it plants itself upon a
great wrong, and corrupt leaders seek
10 seduee the rank and file Irom the
ancient landmarks of Democracy, then
we think that a good "drubbing" is the
best possible thing that could happen for
it. This is what has happened in Iowa,
and we do not grieve particle over it.
