stoppage OF the MINIS at Troy,

The Troy Wing says, that neither Of the
three large iron establishments in the lower
part 1.-The city are 10 be in operation this
winter. The suspending of these works a.
lone would deprive not less, probably than
500 persons Of The means of support. The
stopping Of the carpet works on Ida Hill will
add 10 10 this at least Eve hundred more. In
deed, there is scarcel a manufacturing es.
tablishment in our vicinity that will not be
obliged 10 reduce the number Of their labor
ers this winter, and we have no doubt that
from 1000 to 10000 in our city will be cut
off from the means Of support which, in more
prosperous timess is furnished by the de-
mand for labor.

A Little More Patience.

What an excellent bit of advice for the pre-
sion contains. 1t ought to be engraved on
every rail-car and stage in the country--it
ought 10 meet US at every turn, stare US in the
face upon every corner, and stand out IN bold
nineteenth century. 1t should b. raised for the
same purpose as was the brazen serpent in the
wilderness, that people might look and live
II would save the bankruptcies, give us some
exemption at least from the expl sive power of
steam, and deliver many from the devouring
waves. There is no use expostuating. The
mnttO of the day is go ahead" We see it in
everytiing-in painting locomotive, the dash
ing steImers, and the swift clippers, all striving
TO annihlate time and space. We can see
hundreds sauntoring the streets every day, or
crowds lOunging about hotels, all appearing as
composed as if they never were in a hurry
But let these same individuals, now So quiet
get on board of a rail car or steamboat, and
they would complain that the fastest were too
slow. Where this irrepressible desire to Danish
distance from the vocabulary will end, we
know not, though the chancesare that all crea-
tiOn will some day run off the track and involve
everybody in one grand catastrophe. In that
event, where one of those Oracles of Bunsby
wisdom, a co 'oner's jury. will be found to in
vesiigate the caus. OF the disaster, is an inter
esting question for ire curious.

Fidelity.

Never forsake :rend. When enemies
gather thick aud fast around him-when the
world is dark and chcerlcss, this is the time to
try true friendship. Those who turn from the
scene Of distress or offer reasons why they
should be excused from extending their sympa-
thy and aid, betray their hypocrisy, and prove
that selfish motives only prompt and move
them. If you have friend who loves you
who has studied your interest and happiness
defended you when prosecuted and troubled, be
sure to sustain him in his adversely. Let him
feel that his former kindness is appreciated,
and that his friendship was not lavished on you
for nought. Real fidelity may be rare; but it
exists-in the heart. Who has not seen and
felt It's powers They only. deny its worth and
power, who have never loved friend, or labor
ed To make friend happy. The good and the
kind, the affectiohate and virtuous, see and fee
this heavenly principle, for ii is a fruit gathered
frewqa sacred germ implanted BY heaven, it
mans bosom. And true fidelity has its re
wards 1t may be- sighted by some, overlooked
by others; but pnre-minded men cultivate ant
cherish fond and Iundying love for it. 7 ..'.'.

The Creator has gwen ii, natura! rcsto-

either. Under the pressure of high excite
ment, individuals have pa sed weeks together
with little sleep or none but when the process
is long Continued, the ovcr-driven powers rebel,
and fever, delIrum and death comes on. Now
can the natural amount be systemmat tically

Ol rest does not steal over us like the hour OF

we Will or not ;. but addressing us as lntelli-

Its renovation. And if, going in the face OF the
Creators kindness, we force ourselves to work
all days alike, 1t is not long till we pay the
forfeit. The mental wOrker-the man of bust.

And put the stigma where ye should
On him who is the faulty girer.
We court the children's little hands;
Thc poor mans freest welcome seek,
When others take us for gift,
Wethillk it -SmaLL-but cannot speak.
