"That is right my boy" said the merchant, suail-
ing approyngly upon the bright face Of his little
shop boy. He had brought him dollar that lay
among the dust and paper of the sweepings.
"That's right" he said again; always be, hon
esty is the best policy"
"Should you say that?" asked the lad timidly.
"5hould l say whatY that honesty is the best
policy? Why It's time-honored old saying-I
don't know about the elevating tendency Of the
thing---the spirit is rather narrow, I'll allow"
$50 grandmother taught me- replied the boy;
she said we should do right because God approved
it, without thinking what man would say"
The merchant turned abruptly towards the desk,
and the thoughtfafaced little lad resumed his du-
ties.
In the course of the morning a rich and inHuen-
tial citizen called in the store While eorversiug
he said IL have no children of my OWE, and fear

The CRY OF GLAsGow.-There
seems to be no doubt that the steamer
seen near the Azores was not the City
of Glsgow, but either a West India
steamer, or, from her yellow paddle
boxes. a Spanish steamer going into
the Azores for coal. At any rate the
facts, as reported, do not in the least
support the theory which has been built
upon them.

Mrs. Nichols, late Of the BrattleLoro
(Vt.) Democrat, says that the drinks
are now called" leg stretchers" in
that State. She says it is an every
day occurrence for some passengers in
the stage coaches, while the latter are
waiting at the hotels for the mails, to
say" I guess I'll get out and stretch
my legs" which always ends in their
having drink somewhere in the hotel.
She adds that It is perfectly astouish-
ing with what unchecked ease and fire..
quency legs are now stretched in Yer
mont.
A friend, who lived in Mississippi
during the period ex-Gov. FoorE's

states as his experience, that there
was more drunkenness in that State
than at any time before its enaction or
since its repeal. Bottles, demijohns,
and jugs abounded every-where-is
the houses of the married, and the
rooms Of the single. Men who never
dank in . grog-shop drank in friends
house or room. The consequences
need not be sdverted to at length.
They resulted in the abrogat:ou Of the

valuable than time-the consumption
of air, which no man has a right to
use for mere Buncumb purposes; add
these figures up, and then deduct the
full amount Of benefit that the present
