SELF and those around her, travelling about
the country delivering lectures, and atten-
ding woman's rights conventions? No!
they are generally that class of persons to
whom the name of "maidcn lady" is ap-
piled, owing to the great aversion they
have for their true and proper cognomen-
Old Maids.
Woman, in order to be loved, honored,
and respected, must cease thus foolishly
spending the precious time which God has
given her, in contcnding for greater rights,
greater power, and greater privileges. She
must remain within her own true, honora-
bic, and appropriate sphere, though that
sphere may deny her the yictor's crown,
the politicians glory, or the orators fame
Pet her reward is no less sure the glori.
GUS crown is hers, though it may not be
worn until the vain pageantry of earth has
faded from view, and her too oft false
acclamatiou of praise lost in the melody of
choirS SALLIE.

Rules for business. men.

Rules for business men.
l. Take advantage of modern facili.
ties, and accomplish as much in single
day as required weeks, months, years, for
merly.
Q. Don't depend upon your own lungs
alonc-use the lungs of the Press.
8. Use the means they are open to
all.
4. Don't depend alone upon your own
hands, or other mems hands: use steam
power.
5. Make it known that you are pre-
pared to do business.
6. Confess ignorance in regard to sub
jects on which you are uninformcd listen
and learn.
!. Be silent when fool pratcs-be
will cease the sooner: you can not gain
by converse.
8. BE ashamed of nothing but your
own errors.
0. Calculate the probabilities of the
future increase and multiply the means
of information.
10. To compete successfully with a
noighbor, participate in the facilities af-
forded to 60 ahcad.'
II. The door to wealth, respectabibity,
influence and honor, is thrown wide open
to all.
ID Establish yourself on the broad
and sound basis of integrity conduct
your business with intelligence and judg-
mcnt.
Is. He who arms his intent with vir-
tue is invinciblc.
IT, Trfc not with serious matters,
and be not serious about trifes.
Is. Wisdom and virtue make the poor
rich, and the rich honorable.
1G There are looking glasses for the
face, but none for the mind the defect
must be supplied by a serious reflection
upon ones self
II. There is no deep or hidden mys-
terry to be studied or practised to carry on
business successfully: on the contrary,
all that any honest, legitimate concern,
demanded by the public wants, requires,
is fair judgment, close industry, unwaver-
ing integrity: superior workmanship, fair
prices, and to do better by the customers,
if possible, than others in the same bust
ness can do by theirs-and give it publ
city.
IS. Let the business of others alone,
and attend to your own.
49, Don't buy what you don't want
use every hour to the best advantage, and
study even to make leisure hours useful.
90. Find recreation in looking after
recreation.
81. Buy fair, sell fair, and take care
of the profits.
%. Should misfortune ovcrtake you,
harder but never fly the
track-confront difficulties with untlinch
ing perseverance. Should you then fail,
you will be honored: but shrink, and
you'll be despiscd.
23. Consider the causes of the good
of some, and the decline and fall
and want of success of others, and regulate
your conduct accordingly.

est, are rarely prosperous for when con
fllence Is withdrawn, poverty Is likely to

0tzinachson, (Otsea-ocL;son.)

The Il con,iny Gazette states, that on
examination of certain ancient papers in
.hc Office Of the Secretary of the Common
wealth at Harrisburg, it was discovered, in
the correspondence of Conrad Weiscr, the
Indian interpreter, that the West Branch
of the Susquchanna was known among the
Indians by the name of "OTZINAcHsoN."
Can any of the old Inhabitants, or their
descendants, inform US why the name was
changed? The Juniata river, branch of
the Susluchanna, still retains its aboriginal
appellatiou while the West Branch,
much larger and more important stream
if it be not the main river itself-has lost
the name by which it had been known for
thousands of years perhaps. A ccntury's
utage, almost, has confirmed the present
unmeaning and unjust name of our noble
stream; and yet it is not too late to pres
cnt to the public mind, for adoption in
various forms, the more distinctive, conso-
nant and beautiful name of OTZINACHsoN.

Our Ir0quois Representative.

1t is stated among the incidents of the
day that ELY S. PARKER of Tonawanda,
in New York, has recently left the service
of the State, and proceeded to honorable
and important employment in Virginia
There is something more in this than n
mere personal item. MIR. Parker fills
among his People the position of Head of
the Iroquois Confederacy, which, although
in its ruins, is still maintained among the
relics of the Six Nations-its lineage
known, its tribe and division of tribe as
accurate, and its identity as distirct-as
when. over all this broad Commonwealth
tLey were masters.
Mr. Parker received bis election some
year since, and holds his honors with an
intelligent consciousness Of the fortunes
and history of his people.
1t is regretted by many who know him
that the Engineer Department of our own
State allowed him to leave its service.
When an Indian Of New York-onc who
has hal the energy and ability to break
away from the difficulties that are necces-
sarily around his people, and to acquire
the learning of civilization to an eminent
dcgrce-when to this is added, as is, in
his case, the manners and courtesies of
gentleman, New YORK should have held
out public service to such one SO long
as it would be agreeable to him.
There are among the several tribes yet
resident in our State, few indians who,
by their address, and education, and intel
lect, are men of mark, aud entitled to the
high consideration of their. fellow citizens.

OREGON, having voted at the recent CT
ection in favor of forming a Constitution,
and applying for admission into the Union
the question has been started there as to
whether the Constitution shall tolerate or
prohibit slavery. A correspondent of the
New York Tribune, writing from the ter
rtory, says that there arc large numbers
of settlers from Missouri and other slave
holding States, who are very dsirous of
having slaves. In view of this question,
an Anti-Slavery Convention was to be
held at town called Albany, on the 9th
of June

Benefits of Railways to Farmers.

We have before US statement, showing
that in the State of Michigan, Counties on
or contiguous to Railways, have increased
400 to 500 per cent. in value, while Coun-
ties Of as good land, remote from Railways,
gained 100 per cent only. In every new
country, opening avenues of communica-
ton is a matter of the first importance !;
and Railways have everywhere proved to
be proportionally the best for that pur-
pose. So prominent and undoubted is this
fact, that Farmers at the West not only
pledge their State faith, but also issue
County and Township bonds, and mortgage
their homestcacs in many cases, to get a
Railway market near them And it is not
long before they find most ample remune-
ton for their risks.
But not alone in new countries is this
increase evident. In our old and long
settled Eastern States, the same thing is
proved over and over again. We refer to
it, now, as affording additional evidence of
the great advantages to be gained to the
Susquehanna region, and especially to our
own immediate vicinity, by the erection
Of the "Sunbury & Erie" the "Northern
Central" Cor Susquehanna,) and "Lewis-
burg, Center & Spruce Creek" Railways
all of which, ,as business rcvives, and money
becomes more free, must be fastened tow
ards complction.-Even staid old Chester
county, with its rich farms and cultivated
farmers, finds large increase in the value
OF lands, consequent upon new thorough
fares for trade and travel being opened.
The West Chester Record d. Ecamiaer, of
last Saturday, gives fair specimen of the
workings Of the system, in the following
Paragraph:
