How HE BECAME MILLIONAIRE
Mr.. McDonough. the Millionaire Of
New Orleans, has engraved upon his
tomb series of maxims, which he had
prescribed as the rules for his guidance
through life, and to which his success
in business is mainly attributed. They
are sound, and contain much practical
wisdom.
"RHLes for he Guidance of ny life,
1804.-Remember always that labor is
one of the conditions Of our existence.
Time is gold; throw not one minute
away, but place each one to account
Do unto all men as you would be done
by. Never put off till tomorrow what
you can do to-day. Never bid another
to do what you can do yourself. Never
covert what is not your own. Never
think any matter so triiing as not to de-
serve notice. Never give out that
which does not first come in. Never
spend but to produce. Let the greatest
order regulate the transactions Of your
life. Study in your course Of life to do
the greatest amount Of good.
deprive yourself Of nothing neces-
|sary TO your comfort, but live in an
honorable simplicity and frugality.-
Labor, then, to the last moment Of your
existence. Pursue strictly the above
rules, and the Divine blessing and
riches of every kind viii flow upon you
to your hearts content; but, first of all,
remember that tho chief and great study
of our life should be to tend, by all
means in our power, to the honor and
glory of our Divine Creator. John Nc
Donough, New Orleans, March Cd,
1904. The conclusion TO which 1 have
arrived is, that. without temperance,
there is no health; without virtue, no
order; without religion, no happiness;
and that the ainseof our being is to live
wisely, soberly and righteously."

ABOLITION Excrrrxrrr IN CurII1cc

ABOLITION EXCITEMENT IN CHILLIco-
THE, Mo-A Preacher IN Bad Odor.--
The town of Chilicothe, Mo-, was
thrown into a high state Of excitement
on Sunday, the 9th ult., on account Of
a sermon preached in the forenoon oI
that day by the Rev. David White, oI
Pennsylvania, minister Of the Chris
tian church, which was regarded by
most of his auditors as being strongly
tinctured with Abolition sentiments. 1t
is said that the reverend gentleman ex-
pressed outsight sentiments Of Aboli-
tionism, and was extremely vulgar in
his expressions-msking remarks which
no modest female could hear without
being insulted and offended. He cited
the authority of Mr.. Douglas, that is to
say-the notorious Fred-to prove that
negroes in slave States were cruelty
treated and shamefully oppressed. He
further stated that be was informed by
slave owner residing in the Valley Of
Virginia, that he had once attended a
dinner party in that State, composed Of
ladies and gentlemen, at which ga full

it is thougat will pass, but 1 think 9TH
erwise. Many of the old stagers, the
hard drinking members have joined the
teetotal army; still they will not pre-
vent others from enjoying their wants
or desires. Miss Pellet, one of the
strong-minded breed, lectured at the
State house few evenings since. She
is a poor apostle to any cause.
1t is now doubtful if there be an
election of q. S. Senator this season.
No one but DR.. Gwin can be elected,
without he is here himself to advise his
supporters to abandon him, and go for
the next best man. Broderick is very
dead. McDugal; McCorkle, and other
Democratic candidates com b in d
againt Gwin, to defeat him. Still Gwin
has a majority of the Democratic votes
in both houses. What they may yet
do is beyond safe conjecture.

LITTLE THINGS NO TR1FLEs.-The
nerve Of a tooth, not as large as the finest
cambria needle, will sometimes drive q
strong man to distraction. A musquito
can make an elephant absolutely mad.
The coral rock, which causes a navy TO
founder, is the work Of an insect. The
warrior that has withstood death in q
thousand forms may be killed BY an in
sect. Th@deepesr wretehedness often
results from perpetual continuation OF
petty trials. The formation Of charac-
ter often depends on circumstances ap-
parently the most trivial; an impulse, q
casual conversation, chance visit, or
something equally unimportant, has
changed the whole destiny of lie and
has resulted in virtue or yice-in veal

SIZE OF LoNDoN.-London extends
over an area of 1909 acres or 12S
square miles, and the number of its in.
habitants, rapidly increasing, was some
9,369, ,989 on the day Of the last census.
A conception of this vast mass of peo-
pie may be formed by the fact that, il
the metropolis were surrounded by a
wall having north gate, south gate,
an east gate, and west gate, and each
of the four gates was of sufficient width
to allow column of persons to pass out
freely four abreast, and peremptory
necessity required the immediate evacu-
alton of the city, it could not be accom-
pGshed under four-and-twenty hours, by
the expiration of which time the head Of
each Of the four columns would have ad.
vanced at no less a distance than seven.
.ty-fve miles from their respective gates,
all the people being in close file, foul

A Love LErrER.-The following let,
ter was written by Rrittish officer du,
ring the Revolution, to an American
lady.
Dol lovs thee? Oh, dearest, the beam
of thine eye is the light of my life.
scorskip thee. Thy smile is the Joy oI
my existence-thy voice the music oil
my soul. When thy hand lies in mine,
and thy breath is upon my cheek. every
nerve vibrates with ecstacy, and the deep
pulsation of thy bosom thrills mine with
a responsive devotion that absorbs my
whole being.
l would have thee as pure as an an
gel that l might embrace thy image in
my heart and bow before it as the idol
of all my JOY and hope, while thy endu-
ring and full affection should elevate and
sanctify my alteration until it transcen-
ded human sentiment, and partook of
the holy love symbolized in the flowers
of paradise at the dawn of creation.
This, the world will call frenzy, hal
lucination-let the world call it what
they may-it is spell would not have
broken for all else the world can give.
Then love me, dear, with all thy
strength, with all thy truth. with all thy
constancy, forever more-in pleasure
and in sadness-and when the earth is
closed over me, let thy love pierce the
cold turf and unite with the spirit that
fingers to join thine in its flight to
realms Of eternal bliss"
