The March of the Ruffians.

Col. Titus, the commander of the pirate
gang which Pierce has called into the SER
vice of the Federal Government, to guard
and gag the free-state prisoners in Kansas,
has asked of Gov. Geary that he and his,
murderous crew may be discharged, so that
they may embark for Central America, and
enlist under the banner of Walker. So we
see it announced by the correspondent of
the ST. Louis Democrat, who writes from
Kansas under date of Nov. 25th.
The business of making slave territory
is virtually taken by the job, and when one
job is completed another is commenced
upon. This letter writer says:
about one hundred will take passage
for st. Louis, there to wait until the 10th
of next month, at which time they intend
to embark for Nicaragua via. New Orleans,
under the command of Col. Titus. He
says that sufficient money has been proyi
ded to defray the expenses of the expedi-
tion. On their arrival in Central America
they join the forces of president Walker"
and are expected to fight for the secure
possession Of the country.
"Titus says after Central America is all
right, he intends going over into Cuba,
and revolutionize that island, and gain it
it for the South, and the South alone
Col. T. has been fillibuster all his life,
and was once in Cuba under the unfortu-
nate Lopez. He sent Walker the first
company of men sent from the States"

source that there is strong probability of
this Institution being put on its feet again,
by new subscription of stock to the
amount suggested by the directors in their
report to the meeting of Stockholders
This project, if carried out, will give the
bank cash Capital of 100000 to COM
mence with, and enable it to pay its pres

Of course the cd stock is all sunk, and
will prove dead loss to the stockholders
unless the doubtful and bad assets of the
institution should turn out better than the
Directors anticipate. Since the suspension
the Bank has redeemed over $65,000 of
her notes in payment of debts due the in

DOES TIGRT LAC1NG PREVENT OR
PRODUCE CoNsUMPTIoN.-Dr Hall main
talns, in his Journal of Health, that tight
laclng on the part of ladies does not origi-
nate consumption, but has tendency to
prevent it, if not actually present, and to
cure it if it is. The doctor asserts that
tight lacing affects the lower portion of
the lungs mainly, and causes the person
to breathe less with the bottom of the
lungs and more with the top; while he
adds that consumption attacks the top of
the lungs under the collar bone, and that
long before it reaches half way down, the
person dies, not actually for want of
enough sound lungs to live upon, but from
the effect which the disease has had on
the whole system. He next assumes that
women breathe more with the upper por-
ton of the lungs then men, in consequence
OF their wearing corsets; after which he
proceeds to show that, in proportion to
population, fewer women than men die of
consumption, and gives his conclusion in
regard to the efficacy of tight lacing.

STRYCHNINE.-The source whence this
poison, which has gained so worldwide
a celebrity recently, is obtained, is thus
noticed in Dickens Household Words =
In Ceylon and several districts of India
grows a moderate sized tree, with thick
shining leaves and short, crooked stem.
In The fruit season is readily recognized
by its rich orange colored berries, about
as large as golden pippins. The rind is
hard and smooth and covers white, soft
pulp, the favorie food of many kinds of
birds, within which are fiat, round seeds,
ash gray in color, and covered with very
minute silky hairs. The Germans fancy
they can discover resemblance in them
to gray eyes, and call them crows eyes,
but the likeness is purely imaginary. The
tree is the strychnos nux vomica, and the
seed is the deadly poison nut. The latter
was early used as medicine by the
Hlndoos, and its nature and properties
understood by Oriental doctors, long be.
fore it was known to foreign nations.-
Dog killers and fish scales are two of its
Arabic names. tits stated that at present
the natives Of Hindostan often take if for
many months continuously, in much the
same way as an opium eater eats opium.
They commence with taking the eighth of
nut day, and gradually increasing
their allowance to an entire nut, which
would be about twenty-eight grains. If
they eat directly before or after food, no
unpleasant effects are produced; but if
they neglect this precaution, spasms re-
suit:

THE ELoPENEENT.

They locked me in an upper room,
And took away the key,
Because would Mt marry one
Who never suited me.
They did not know the female heart,
Or they had clearly seen
That locks were never made TO keep
A girl of seventeen.
They had gilded cage in view.
And thought the bird secure
Surrounded by the guards of power
And every artful lure.
They never thought Of counterplots,
In any one like me.
And little knew what would do,
For love and liberty.
They wanted me TO marry rich"
Unmindful of the means
To couple me with wealth and age
While was in my teens"
But being otherwise "engaged,"
No coaxing conld prevail,
For preferred TO please myself;
And wouldn't be "for sale"
The night was dark, the window raised
How could I answer now,
When that might be my only chance;
And Charley teased me soa
A railroad station being near,
A carriage waiting by
And such an opportunity,
What could do but fy7
Not being fond Of solitude,
It had for me no charms,
While could knot silken cord
To reach lovers arms.
tResolved, therefore, would not stay
To be imposed upon;
So while they thought they had me,
Was ''going-going-gons !"

Character Better than Credit.

We often hear young men, who have
small means, doIefulIy contrasting their
lot with that of rich mems sons. Yet the
longer we live, the more we are convinced
that the old merchant was right, who said
to us when we began life, industry, my
lad, is better than ingots Of gold, and
character more valuable a million times
than credit We could furnish, if need
were, from our own experience, score of
illustrations to prove the truth of his re-
marks. Ia all branches of business, in all
avocations, character, in the long run, is
the best capital. Says Poor Richard
The sound of your hammer at five in the
morning, or nine at night, heard by
creditor, makes him easy six months
longer, but if he sees you at billiard ta-
BILE, or hears your voice at tavern, when
you should be at work, he sends for his
| money the next day What is true of the
young mechanic, is true also of the young
lawyer. Old and sagacious firms will not
long continue to give credit for thousands
| of dollars when they see the purchaser, if
a young man, driving fast horses or hang
ing about drinking saloons. Clients will
not intrust their cases to advocates, how
ever brilliant, who frequent the card-ta-
Bile, the wine-party, or the race-course.-
1t is better, in beginning life, to secure a
reputation for industry and probity, than
to own houses or lands, if, with them, you
have no character.
A facility Of obtaining credit at the
outset is often an injury instead of bene-
fit. 1t makes the young beginner too
venturesome, fills him with dreams of too
early fortune, tempts him too much to
neglect hard work, forethonght, caution
and economy. Excessive capital is very
frequently snare to young man. 1t
has almost passed into proverb, in conse-
quence, that the sons of rich men never
make good business men. To succeed in
life we must learn the value of money
But superf1uity of means al the outset is
nearly a certain method Of rendering US
insensible to its value. No man ever grew
rich who had not learned and praticed the
addage, if you take care Of the pennies
the dollars will take care of themselves
knowledge of men, self-discipline,
thorough~mastery of our pursuit, and 9th
er qualifications, which all persons of
experience look for, are necessary to give
the world security that young man is of
the right metal. Capital may be lost, but
character never. Credit once gone, the
man without character fails. But he who
has earned a reputation for capacity, in
tegrity and economy, even if he Iooses his
capital, retains his credit, and rises trium-
phant over bankruptcy itself. A man
with character can never be ruined. 1t
is the first thing young man should seek
to secure; and it may be had by every
one who desires it in earnest. A poor
boy with character is more fortunate by
far than rich mans son without it.

True, EVERY WORD OF IT. The Irish
American, of New York, talks to servant
girls 'like father Speaking of these
Irish girls, he says: 'They mistake, in
numerous instances. forwardness, if not
impertinence, for independence. They
dress too expensive for their calling, and
they assume unbecoming airs. This is all
ridiculous and wrong, and demands a
remedy. A modest, unassuming de-
meanor, a willing disposition, a respectful
tongue, and neat, substantial and useful
clothing are far more calculated to secure
corresponding respect and admiration
than the mistaken courses above describ-

EAST INDIAN Observation-Disclosures
Pfeiffer, in her Second Journey Round
the World gives the following descrip-
ton of uncertain unexplainable feats of
Juggling witnessed by her while soiourn-
ing through the East Indies: AT the
close ofthe entertainment the performance
of Hercules was really curious in its way.
He appeared with nothing on but pair
Of drawers, and a cord was passed a.
round his neck, and with this his hands
and arms were so firmly tied behind him
that he could not make the smallest move
ment. He came to US to have the knots
exmined, and then he crept under high
covered basket, beneath which various
garments were placed, and after the lapse
of few minutes the basket was lifted up
and Hercules made his appearance com
pIetely clothed in them. Then ne crept
again under the basket and came out
without them, but holding the cord with
all its knots fast in his hands, and-so. forth.
All this would, of course, have been moth
ing in theatre, where assistance might
have been given him, but this was in a
meadow, where no assistance was posi-
bic. One ofth gentlemen present offered
BIN twenty five rupees for his mystery,
but he declined the offer.
