SHooTNG-As the season for game of all kinds
is now coming on, and those fond Of shooting will
be fitting up for the on the Birds, Deer, &c,
we would recommend all such to call and see the
immense stock of guns at the house Of Fall Cum
ningham. These gentlemen seem to have taken
great pains in the selection of their stock of guns;
indeed, they inform that all their fine guns are
made to order in England and France, and imported
by them direct. They have them at all prices
rying to suit the pocket and taste of every sports
man. We were forcibly struck with one gun which
they have for sae-price S25O-which to our judg-
ment seems as fine as gun could well be. Their
establishment is on the north side Of the Public
Square, opposite the lower end of the market house,
over the entrance to which will be found what they
call their great g11t." octl2-lm

resolution in the House yesterday, to bring on
the election of Comptroller ION Thursday the

day of the week does not agree with IL, We
think il due our friend Galloway that II should
be stated be intended the election should take
place on Thursday the 25th of October, and
not Sunday, the 25,h Of November. Tie mis-

the use Of tobacco, nor to point out its in
furious effects in a pecuniary or physical
point of view. But we do cry out with a
loud voice against the present filthy and
unbecoming practice of chewing tobacco
and splitting in church. We often sec the
floors and walls literally besmeared with to.
bacco juice. How '3bsco,ning the sacred
sanctuary, which shonloSbe kept pure and
unstained, and dedicated only to the wor-
ship of God! We not only see members
of churches, but those who ascend the sa-
cred desk to proclaim the glad tidings Of
salvation to lost and ruined world, guilty
of this practice. What gentleman, nay,
what lady would like to see tobacco juice
spirited over her parlora Would she not
look upon such guest as an intruder, ill
bred apd destitute of good manners? Is it
not equally as unbecoming in the house of
God 2 We leave these questions for our
readers to answer.
The Abysnians, the Copts, the Armcni-
ans, and many other races, Notwithstanding
their superstitious idolatry, are far in advance
of orthodox denominations in regard to
cleanliness in their churaets. So Jealous
are the former, they cover their floors with
mating or carpeting. pe off their shoes
before entering, anS2'dl suffer no person To
spit, blow his nose, nor even turn his head,
while in church. Notwithstanding the
source from which this example comes, let
us improve by it. How is reformation to
be brought aboutl Let those who are
commanded to let their lights shine
set the example-abandon the practice at
once. Let them look upon it as an act Of
indecency, and surely the world will be
constrained to join in the reformation. Try

The Three Glasses.

The Three Glasses.
Messrs. Editors: Long since / satisfied
,nay own mind that there are three distinc,
classes of character in the world:
i, The class of. moral firrnness;
2, The class of circumstantials;
3, The class Of braggart,.
i. The man of moral frmness rarely cv
er tells you that this is his type; feels ii
himself, has no suspicion, takes it for grant.
ed, that nobody doubts it. He is apt to be
an agreeable man, easy in conversation; and
in the matter Of mere opinion, show him
his error, and he at once gives way. He
wants the truth, and is willing to receive it
from any quarter. He often gets the name
of being too casy-too ready to accommo-
date; but try him. Ask him to change up
opinion to accommodate you. TO give his
ground, or you will injure him, as you have
it in your power to do. What course does
he take now9 Does he at once give up,
and ask your pardon, almost, for having
aleld such an opinion? Not so. lie says,
II would like to accommodate you, sir, if l
could consistently, but can't, and prefer
that you would not ask it any more" Now
he has got home. You cannot do anything;
the more you try, the moro lie knows you
are out of it, and the more he concludes
never to trust you again.
2. The man Of circumstances frequently
speaks in pretty confident tones of his firm.
ness-his independence. He wants it nn-
dcrstood that he possesses what he feels he
has not. He sometimes treads on mems
toes, (selecting with great care,) just to
show his independence. But all the time
he is watching the current; he means to 90
with that. lie is always on the popular
side, if he knows which one it is. Such a
man has a menial spirit; he will do any
thing to get popular favor. He will bear
watching. N
