Rules for the Journey Of Life The fol-
lowing rules, from the papers of DR.. West,
are thrown together as general way-marks
in the Journey Of life: Never ridicule sa-
cred things, or whatever others may esteem
as such, however absurd they may appear
to you. Never show levity when the peo~
pie engaged at worship never to resent
supposed injury till you know the views
and motives cf the author of it. On no
occasion to relate it. Always to take the
part of an absent person who is censured
in company, so far as truth and proprie:y
will allow. Never to think worse of anoth-
er on account of his difering'from me in
political subjects. Not to dispute with a
man who is more than seventy years of
age, nor with an enthusiastic Not to af-
feet to be witty, or jest, so as to wound the
feelings of another To say as little as
possible of myself and of those who are
near to me. To aim at cheerfulness with
out levity. Never to count the favor of the
rich by fiattering either their vanities or
their vices. To speak with calmness and
deliberation on all occasions, especially In
circumstances which tend to irritate.

A man who has no enemies is seldom
good for anything. He is made of that
kind of material which is so easily worked
that every one tries a hand at it. A ster-
ling character-one who speaks for himself
and speaks what he thinks, is always sure
to have enemies.

Hoac TO make money fast and Honestly.
Enter into business of which you have a
perfect knowledge. In your own right, or
by the aid of friends on long time, have a
cash capital sufficient to do at least cash
business. Never venture on a credit bus
mess on commencement. Buy all of your
goods or materials for cash; you can take
every advantage ef the market, and can
pick and choose where you will. Be care
full not to overstock yourself. Rise and
tall with the market on short stocks. AL
ways stick to those whom you prove to be
strictly Just IN their transactions, and shun
all others, even at a temporary disadvan-
tage. Never take advantage of custom
er's ignorance, nor equivocate, nor misrep-
resent. Have but one price and small
profit, and you will find all the most profit
able customers-the cash ones-or thew
will find you.
If deceived in business transactions.
never attempt to save yourself by putting
the deception upon others but submit to
the loss, and be cautious IN future. Ac-
cording to the character or extent of your
business; set aside a liberal per centage for
printing and advertising, and do not hesi~
tate. Never let an article, parcel or package
go out from you without handsome prin-
ted wrapper, card or circular and dispense
them continually. Choose the newspaper
for your purpose, and keep yourself un-
ceasingly before the public; and it matters
not what business of utility you make
choice of for If intelligently and industri:
ously pursued, fortune will be the result.

DEATH OF THoMAs R1rcnrE. Thomas
Richie the father of the Democratic press
in Virginia and We might almost say OF
the country. died at his residence in Wash
ington city on the Sd inst. His fame as
an editor exceeds that ever en- joyed by
any other man, and whatever his oppo-
nents thought of the doctrines he ad-
vocated, We believe the purity of his mo-
tives was never questioned. AS is well
known, he established the Richmond En-
quirer nearly half a century ago, and left
it only at the call of President Polk to as
sure the control Of the Washington IN
ion. He contributed more in his life. time,
to the perpetuation of Democratic princi-
pies and pure code of political morals,
than any other man that ever lived
What pity it is that his life could not
have been spared another day, that he
might have taken his departure amid the
rejoicing incident to the anniversary of
the birthday of the republic for which he
had fought so many battles.
