STICK TO SOME ONE PURSUIT.

There cannot be greater error than TO
be frequently changing ones business. If
any man will lock around aud notice who
have got rich and who have not, out of those
be started in life with, be will find that the
successful have generally stuck to some one
pursuit
Two lawyers, for example, begin to prae
tiee at the same time One devotes his
whole mind to his profession lays in slowly
a stock of legal learning, and waits patiently,
it may be, for years, till he gains an oppor-
tunity to show bis superiority. The other,
firing of slow work, daskes into politics -
Generally. at the end Of twenty years, the
latter will not be worth penny, while the
former will have handsome practice, and
count his tens Of thousands bank stock or in
mortgages.
Two clerks attain o majority Simultaneous
ly. One remains with his former employer,
or at least in the same line Of trade, at first
on small salary. The other thinks it be-
meath him to fill subordinate position, now
that be has become man, and accordingly
starts in some business on bis own account,
or undertakes new firm in the old line Of
trade. Where does he end ? Often ia ia
solvency, rarely in riches 10 this every
merchant can testify.
A young man is bred mechanic. He ac
quiros dstastc to his trade, however, thinks
it is tedious way to get ahead, and sets
out for the West or California. But, 10 most
cases, the SANG restless, disconnected, and
speculative spirit, which carried him away at
first, renders continuous application at any
one place irksomc to him; and so he goes
wandering about the world, a semi civilized

There are men of ability, in every walk Of

Usually it is because they never stick to any

they do not understand aud in little while,

KNOW NOTHING PROSPECTS.

The New York Herald Of Sunday morning

from which VIC copy The following;
1t would not be easy to find parallel in
our past history to the sudden rise aud pro
gress Of the party which is now troubling POI
litieui calculation, controlling elections, and
revolutionizing large section Of the country,
under the name Of the Know Nothings -
Day after day Che telegraph ana the malls
bring us fresh accounts Of Know Nothing We
tories. In the Eastern States they seem to
rule par. amount In New York, they arc .
formidable body. Philadelphia is completcly
under their control. They have penetrated
the South, and WELD considerable influence
in Virginia. Even California contains res
pectablc battalion Of followers Of the new
standard. Unlike their prototypes, the ne
tive Americans. their sway is not confined to
the seaboard. Far inland in quiet little
towns, where German and Irish arc few and
far between, Know NOthingism has planted
its roots firmly, and is quite the order of the
day. On every side, in short, the eontagioh
has spread, and large fraction Of tho public
have fallen victims to its influence. 1t is
hardly possible to estimate the number Of
votes which the party controls at the present
moment; but no one can deny that j, is quite
sufficient to disturb all electoral calculations
and work most important change in the
aspect Of our domestic politics.

flowers, 10000 lbs. of tubcroses, 10000
lbs of lilac flowers, besides rosemary, mint,
lavender, thyme, lemon, orange, and other
odorous plants, in like proportion. Flowers
yield perfumes in all climates, but those
growing in. the warmer ATTITUDES, are, it
seems. tho NEST prolific in their odoar, while
those from the colder are sweetest. Though
many Of the finest perfumes come from the
East Indies, Ceylon, Mexico, and Peru, the
south Of Europe is the onlJ real garden of
utility to the perfumer. Grassc and Nice
are the principal seats of the art. From
their geographical position, the grower, with
IN comparatively short distances, has at CON-
mand that change of climate most applicable
TO bring to perfection the plants required for
his trade. -
On the sca-coast his cassie grows without
fear of frost, one night Of which would de-

nearer the Alps. his violets arc found sweet

Of attention
If in the open air never seek shelter under

road or field. if no other shelter is at hand
If in an open boat sit as low in it as you
can.
Within doors be careful not to shut up the
house any more than is necessary to exclude
the rain. If 10 room where there is a chin
ney, be sure to have either a door or a win

tween two windows, window and door, OF
chimney and a window. Lay aside, i'll pos
sible, all sharp pointed Instruments as pen
knives, scissors and forks. 1t is also we'll to
remove spoctacles and rings
A feather bed is considered safe place
for those who suffer much from fear. 1t is,

their terror as far as possible, as it not only
occasions great discomfort, but have ten
dcncy to increase danger in case Of any slight
