Church Etiquette in New York.

\ Southerner scjourning in New York writes
to the Richmond Enquirer the following account
Of bis experience in fashionable New York
Church, where "crowdcd' pews render it neces
sary to secure seat in advance. A friend at our
elbow suggests that when the owners ofsome Of
these fashionable pews get to Heaven, they may
find the seats all "takcn."
"Having for some time had desire to hear
the Rev. Stephen II Tying, went in company
with friend, to St. Georges Church, yesterday
afternoon. The church is a magnificent one,
and in the most fashionable portion ofthe city.
All ofthe Upper Tendon attend there. On
opening pew door 10 walk in, saw large
printed card (very neatly prin,ed) With this
notice en- il:

"You FoReor ME."-A good joke is 'old at
the expense Of one Of our church going citizens,
who is the father Of an interesting family Of
children, and among them bright eyed boy
numbering four or FIVE summers, the pet Of the
household and unanimously voted the drolest
little mischief alive. On Saturday night he had
been bribed to keep peace and retire an hour
earlier than usual, with the promise that on the
morrow he might 60 with the family to church.
On Sunday morning it was found inconrenient
to put the youngest through the regular course
Of washing and dressing necessary for his proper
appearance at the sanctuary, and the family
slipped off without him. They had not, how
ever, more than become comfortably seated in
their pew; when in walked the youngest with
nothing on bu. night wrapper and cloth
cap. You forgot me" said he in a tone loud
enough to be heard all over the church. The
feeling Of the parent, can be more easily i'm.
agined than described.

How To SuccEEp.-A correspondent out
West thus relates oil a character he has met.
The lesson inculcated of the history of the maj.
is one which commends itself to every person
who would succeed in life. Read it:
On small Mississippi steamer met very
different character. He was native Of al
Eastern State, and had gone West to make
his fortune While our boat was tied to the
banks for an hour, he gave me an account Of
the course hc has followed, and the difficulties
be has commended with. lie started for the
West with small sum of money and the
blacksmith trade. He went down the Ohio as
Il steeraSe passenger, reached St. Louis, thence
up the Illinois till his money had failed.
lie stopped and worked to get his purse
recuted to reach friends house. There he
worked a month to pay man for bringing n
chest from Illinois river. Finally he reached
Chicago got contract on the Illinois and
Wisconsin Canal, was getting rich, when
Illinois scrip made him poorer than when he
began. Then the chills and fever laid him up
for year. Let this suffice as a specimen. At
last he returned to Chicago, bought enough
boards On credit to make blacksmith shop by
sticking the ends IN the ground and bringing
the tops together. In this he began to make
pows' which his father.in.law had rented
From that time he has gone steadily forward,
until his car factories cover the principal part
OF two squares in the city, which he purchased,
one for some fifteen hundred dollars and the
other for some six thousand. The city is alrea.
dy far beyond him and by the rise Of property
alone he is rich, while his factories are bringing
him fine revenue.
He had accomplished his objects, but con.
cluded his narrative by saying that had he life
to begin again and he "knew that by enduring
all he had endured he could attain the same
wealth, rather than undergo the hsrd,hips, he
would sacrifice the prospective wealth and be
content with a mechanics day wages believ
ed him, as looked at man Of thirty .ei ,ht as
much care worn and broke MS - man Of fifty.
