ParSon.-Not one of them.
PariShioner.-"Thou shalt not steal," is

Parishioner.- But it only applies to

AN EXAMPLE WORTHY OF IMIrATIoN.--The
Boston Transcript says:-One of our princi-
pal livery stablemen, who keeps a large stock
of fine horses, refused every offer for their use
on the Fourth of July, and they were all kept
in the stalls during the day. No money would
tempt him to let them out, so great was the
heat. Amerciful man is merciful to his beast.

A ExAMPLE,-America is not so powerful
yet as Spain was three centuries ago. Spain
rose moreover, as America has done, through
the reign Of free institutions. She fell by
entering on a course of policy similar to that
which is now proposed for America. So long
as Spain honored labor, and made war only
in just cause, so long she prospered; but
when she lent her sword to wanton conquest
and took to living on the spoils of captive
nations she began Immediately to decline II
is a pregnant warning. A great law lies at
the heart of SPANS decline. That law is,
that, If either nations or individuals neglect
productive industry, and seek instead to shine
by unlawful gains, they inevitably 90 to ruin.

EW- The New York Herald gives the net
results of the Wall street swindlers, SO far as
yet discovered:
at is calculated that Robert Schuyler
fraudulently obtained, by over issues of stock
and other cOntrivances, something like three
millions of dollars, which he lost or made way
with, and which cannot now be recovered
from him. Other operators in the Parker's
Vein Coal Company are supposed to have
obtained seven or eight millions of dollars in
exchange for spurious certificates of stock,
which are now known to be worthless. A
similar swinde on the Vermont Central Rail-
road Company's stock has given the rogues
profit of thirteen hundred thousand dollars,
and one or two minor cases of like nature
have probably produced for their authors a
quarter of million of dollars. Altogether,
we may say, in round numbers, that during
the past few months, some twelve millions OF
dollars have been fraudulently obtained by
knavish fnanciers, whose present response
bility is at zero"

HEALTH--Cleanlines and attention to the
skin will do more towards preserving health
than any medicine. In fact half the sick.
ness Of mankind is caused by neglect Of the
skin. -- t.-' LOS
If a bath cannot be had all places, soap
and water may be obtained everywhere, and
leave no apology for negleetiug the skin; or
if the constitution be delicate, water and vim.
egar, or water and saJtr used daily form an
excellent and safe means Of cleaning and
gently stimulating the skin:--to the invalid
they are highly benfcial. VIXEN the nature of
the disposition does not render them improp-,
er. A rough, rather coarse, towel is very
useful auxiliary in such abutiels. ., t7s..,.i
Few of those who have steadiness enough
to keep up the action Of the skin by the
above means, and to avoid strong exciting
causes, will ever suffer from colds, soar
throats or similar complaints; while as n
means of restoring health. they are often in
calculably serviceabIe. If one tenth part of
the persevering attention and labor bestowed
to SO much purpose in rubbing down and
currying the skins of horses were bestowed
by the human race in keeping themselves in
good condition and a little attention were
were paid to diet and clothing colds, nerv-
Gus diseases and stomach complaints would
cease to form so large an item in the cata-
logue of human miseries. Man studies the
nature of other animals, adapts his conduct
to their constitution; himself alone he con-
tnues ignorant of and negects. ..-r..t
A DAB AT RHE BAR.-The Bunker Hill
Aurora, which has contributions from legal
gentlemap, thus gives dab at the modern
barr ..-..f
How scandalously has the bar, of late years,
been emascuated How iHglofious it is be-
coming from year to year! There are what
are called lawyers, or attorneys. They have
been for the most part well termed mechan.
les at law. There is no such association as
the Bar There is no family pride, so to
speak, among the lawyers. Indeed there can
be no pride among them Humiliation would
be more just sentiment; but even that does
not exist, because each man acts for himself,
neither caring for others, nor cared for by
them. There was time when certain con-
duct now common would drive man from
the profession as unworthy of it. Every
man then felt the dishonor of it MS person.
al stain. But that day is not now. Igno-
rance and incompetency were not found
therein. Before man could be admitted
thereto, he was obliged to qualify himself
That day, alas, has gone by. a young man
can more readily enrol himself as an attorney
than he can gain admission as menial in a
shop in Milk street. #r...rr

THE POST.
ATHENS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1854.

A Brr OF WAsHINGToN GossIP.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the N. Y. Herald
says: 1t is stated that Judge Douglas applied
for the appointment of friend of his as Sec
retary of Nebraska, but it was refused. The
unsuccessful applicant for the office is young
man of unexceptionable character, but his
chances were destroyed from the fact that
Judge Douglas endorsed him. We have be-
fore stated that the Judge was regarded with
the utmost jealousy by the administration. If
we are wrong, perhaps the Union will dare
deny that the fact we have stated above are
correct. 1t is almost ludicrous to think that
the originator of the Nebraska Bill and its
great champion, could not obtain petty ap-
pointment under it for political friend amply
qualified for the office. .... .....

t5~ The Harpers have just published a
work, from which we make the following ex.
tract, in relation to the Harems of priesthood
of the Mormons.
"The high priest dignitaries of the church
are exceedingly skillful in procuring young
girls for wives They inculcate the idea that
elderly members who have been tried and
found faithful, are surer instruments of saliva
ton than the young, who may apostatize; and
as marriage to one who remains steadfast to
the end is essential to escape from the fate Of
being mere angels, a great many young wo
men are fooled into this bubbling and seeth-
ing cauldron of prostitution. Elder Wford
Woodruff one of the twelve apostles, has n
regular system of changing his harem. He
takes in one or more young girls, and so
manages, after he tires of them, that they are
glad to ask for divorce, after which he beats
the brush for recruits" j. .H Oh i.a.-
