Wear Out, Don't Rust Out.

"Why don't you give up business 2"
said a millionaire's friend one day.
You are getting old and have made
enough to retire on" "I'd rather wear
out than rust out" was the answer,
''and | must do one of tho two. If |
give up business now, after having
been habituated TO it for forty years,
L shall die in twelve-month or TWO
from sheer inanition. I shall rust out.
| cannot do worse by keeping on. No,
let me die, as the stout knig ghts of old us
ed tosay with the harness on my back"
And he was right. Merely as a
question Of health, the retiring from
business of active men, who have been
all their lives accustomed to it, is often
serious blunder. More have died in
consequence of it, as sagacious physi-
clans know, than have Increased their
happiness. Long habits can not be
broken up without injury to both the
brain and body. AS the intirmities of
years begin topress upon him, we may
Tighten our labors without injury to
ourselves but we dare not stop at once,
if we would avoid imminent risk. The
sudden check, ten to one, hurls the RI
der from the saddle.
1t is frequently as serious a blunier,
so far as the fortunes of his family are
at stake, for q rich man to give up
business. If he resolves that his sons
shall never work as he did, the vain
and foolish desire of SO many fathers
who have amassed wealth, he runs the
greatest risk of making them, in con-
scqucntly oftheir life ofidleness, spend
thritts, or profiigrates, or worse. If he
determines more wisely. that they shall
continue his old business, he would act
wiser yet by remaining with them and
giving them the aid of his counsel.
Fortunes are made more often by
thorough knowledge of the pursuit one
follows than by intellectual ability
or connection or capital itself.
Hence it is always best for parent,
whenever it is possible, to put his sons
into the same business with himself.
In England, commercial firms, manu-
factories, and even handicraft avoca-
tions are thus transmitted from gener-
alton to generation, and, as statistics
show, with comparatively little much
less mutations of fortune. When
war with France was threatened, at
fhe close of the last century, the nation
unanimously called on Washington
to head its armies, so that the ben
efts Of his experience might be secur-
ed, and the father of his country con-
sentcd, preterring even in advancing
age to wear out rather than to rust
ont. In our times we have, in the hero
of Lundy's Lane and Chapultepec, q
similar example of brave soldier pre-
fcrring to die in the harness.
Even when men decline business,
however, it is not absolutely necessary
that they should rust out Iupracticc,
most do, and hence we have spoken.
The wiser course is to find some occu-
patton for its energies, so that mental
and bodily health may be maintained
as before. Nature, in fact, wars on
idleness. There is not an atom in crca-
ton that is long at rest. The rain t.
today was varor of yesterday, and that
4 week ago, was wAt"r in thc Partic.

ONE OF the most memorable passa-
ges ever uttered by Mr.. Webster was
in vindication of the authority of con-
science and providence, on a trial for
murder. 'The guilty soul cannot
keep its own secret 1t is false to it.
selt-it feels an irresistible impulse to
be true to itself. 1t labors under its
guilty possession, and knows not what
to do with it. The human heart was
not made for the residence of such al
nhabitant. 1t finds Itself preyed u,-
ON by torment which it does not az
knowledge to God or to man. A vul-
ture Is deVouring it, and it can ask no
sympathy or assistance either from
heaven or earth. The secret which
the murdered possesses soon comes to
possess him; and, like the evil spirit.
OF which we read, it overcomcs him.
and leads him whithersoever it will
lie feels it beating at his heart, rising
in his throat and demanding disclosure
lie thinks the whole world secs it in
his face, reads it in his eyes, and al
most hears its workings in the very
silence OF his thoughts-it has become
his master. 1t betrays. his discretion~
it breaks down his courage, it con-
queis his prudence. When suspicious

SWEET fofArOEs--PLANrING IN LEVEL GROUND.
We copy the following letter from the
Southern Cultivator. In wet aluvial soil, we
doubt however, whether sweet potatoes should
not be planted on ridges:
Srs-The old method OF planting sweet
potatoes in hills and ridges in this dry climate
and on onr hard upper country lands, is all
wrong Potatoes must have moisture and S0n
earM to do well But they lack both in the
common culture. Hills and ridges are the dri.
est forms in which you can put the soil. Eat
culture is the only right kind for potatoes or
anything else, in orr burning climate and in our
clay upland. Potatoes should be planted as
fot and may, in that way, be planted as easily
as corn.
First break up the land well; then lay off
rows feet wide with shovel pillow; run deep
in the same track with rooter and then if
you want it perfect, deeper still in the same
tuIrow with coIumOn new-ground coulter.
Next, list upon both sides Of this in the same
way; that is, with shovel, rooter and coulter
one right in the track of the other This
makes deep work, and the deeper the better.
IL Is soon done. Your ground is now ready
deep, loose and moist and keeps so all summer.
Now for planting and culture. With Il
rooter draw shallow furrow on the top of the
list, just over the shovel track to guide you in
dropping. In this drop the seed, cut roots,
sprouts, or yine-cuttings, II or ID inches apart
and cover lightly, Pow them few times
just like corn, running close to the potatoes
with rooter, and finish off each working will,
a caltiyator, or some other pillow to keep the
middle fat.
This mode of culture is not one,fourth az

far The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun says:
The Republicans, it is rumored, of the both
Houses, are about to take step for the pur.
pose OF heading Off Mr. Fillmore. A paper it
is said, is in circulation among such of the
Northern opposition members as are opposed
to Mr.. Fillmore, recommending the call of n
national convention to assemble in. July next
for the purpose of nominating President and
Vice-Prcsdent The call is, according to ri,
NOR to be signed by more than hundred
members Of the Senate and House, and it is
further asserted that it is to leave Mr.. Fillmore
no support or countenancc from any party in
the North.
The candidates held in view by this organi.
cation are said by some, to be John G.. Ere.
mont, and by others to be Justice Mclean of
the Supreme Court.
Justice Mclean has been long and promi.
neatly before the public as reserved candidate
for the Presidency. Perhaps the time has
come, ut last for bringing him out Thus
there will be two candidates Of undoubted re-
spectabilty in the field, in addition to the can.
didate who may be nominated by the Demo
cratic national convention.
As to Judge McLcan's position, on the
chief topic of the day, it is understood that he
is in favor Of maintaining the principle of the
ordinance Of 1887.
