Some persons have no charity for those
who differ from .hemin opinion. The San
dusky Register talks 10 the point in their
case as follows,
circumstances mould the man. II un.
der the teachings Of Brahmin, he is an
idolu,or: if under Jesui.'s training, he is a
Jesuit: if surrounded with pomp and power
he is an urisIocrac il surrounded with vice,
he is an assassin. Our whole character is
as pliable os the clay in the po,ter's hand,
and the circumstances Of life cast the mould
that gives each his individuality. If the
chaste Lucretia had been born in Carthage,
Cleopalra's vices would have been her dow.
ry; if she had been born in Scandinavia, she
would have drank blood from human skull.
If the Arab had been born in Siberia, he
would have been an eater Of seals instead OF
dates: If he had been born in Vermont, he
would have been a sturdy Green Mountain
chap, Presbyterian and Free Soiler; or, il
born in Georgia, merciless master of 500
slaves.
What a philosophy, then, is deducible from
such facts. All persons are men, only liv.
ing in different cl;mfE fEfNnder different cir.
cums,ances, and Jin any man who now
excises our pity DID 10 thifa,e, nigh, have
been ourself il brouAnd, p in our own homes.
How lenient should Be our judgment Of er.
ror, action, Of purposel IL one man holds
slaves, he is sill q man, and merits our re.
specl-~-il he is an uncompromising Aboi.
zionist, he is still man entitled 10 his belief
and our consideration: Shareholder or Aboli.

~ Book and Stationery HOuse.---MAsoN
BRoTHEs, % Park Row, opposite the Astor House,
New York, offer one of the most extensive Stocks
and Complete Assortments in the country
OF Books and Stationery, for Cash only.
The amount of goods in our line purchased by the
country merchants is usually quite small compared
with their dry goods, hardware and other bills; and
this very circumstance absolutely compels jobbers
in the Book business who sell time, to get large
profits in order to make up for the losses and extra
expenses necessarily involved in credit business of
small amounts. 1t is also easy for the merchant to
make arrangements to buy his book bill for cash,
though it might not be convenient for him to pur
chase his larger bills in this way.
These considerations have led lis to adopt in our
business from this date January 1854, the following
principles, to wit; Small profits, unvarying prices
and terms alirayS cash.
Being ourselves the sole publishers of q number
of the leading and most extensively selling School
Books in the country well as works in other de-
partments our facilities unsurpassed.
