A WondeifulStory.

The following wonderful story appear
, ed several years ago, from the pen of an
unknown author:--The other morning at
the breakfast table, our friend, the Hon.
John c. Calhoun, seemed very much
troubled and out of spirits. You know
he.is altogether avenerable man, with a
hard stern, Scotch Irish face, softened in
its expression around the mouth by a sort
of sad smile which wins the hearts of all
who converse with him. His hair is
snow white He. is tall, thin and angular
He reminds you very much Of Old -Hick-
ory. That he is honest, no one doubts:
helhss sacrificed 10 his fataism lis bright
est hopes of political advancement-bas
Offered up on the shrine Of that necessity
wiic he worships all that can excite
ambi ion-eyen the Presidency Of the
United States. sd a,odw .ea7af 20 zif
But TO nay story. The other morning
at the breakfast table, wherc-I, an runob-
served spectator happened to be present
Calhoun was observed to gaze frequently
at his right hand, ani brush it with his
left in hurried and nervous manner
He did this so often that it excited atten
ton. AT length one of the persons com
posing the breakfast party-his name,
think is Toombs, and he is member of
Congress from Georgia--took upon HIM
selfto ask the occasion of Mr.. Calhoun's
disquietude. u'eg Yyrss '.f sa .
Does your hand pain yon?' he asked
Of Mr.. G.. .ag aT y 81 181s eFt0
To this, Mr.. Calhoun replied; in rather
furried manner: .sE
'Pshaw! It's nothing only a dream l
had last night, and which makes me see
perpetually large black spot-like an
inkblock-upon the back Of my right
hand. An optical illusion, I suppose q
OF course these words excited curiosi-
ty of the company but no one ventured to
beg the details Of this singular dream, /,
until Toombs asked-quietly. ofs '@a'oo

very superstitious about dreams; but some

time of our friends, / will relate it TO

OF course the company were profuse in
their expressions of anxiety to know all
about the dream In his singularly sweet

Though there is nothing very jovial in the
idea Of total abstinence, and it is difficult

popular combination of toast-and water.

WHEN TO WEAR INDIA RUBBERs:-We
have noticed that many persons wear In.
dia rubber oyershoes in cold weather, to
keep their feet warm. 3 This is an injuri-
Gus and evil practice. India rubber shoes
are very comfortable and valuable for COW
ering the feet during wet, sloppy weather
but they never should be worn on any othr
er occasion-their sole use is to keep out
water. They. should therefore, be put off
whenever the wearer enters house, and
be worn as little as possible, because they
are air tight, and both retain and restrain
the perspiration of the feet. The air can
not be excluded from them, or from any
other. portion Of the body for any, length
OF time, without sensiblys affecting the
health. L is our opinion that no habit
tends more to good health than clean feet
clean dry stockings, SO as to allow the free

New Advertisement.
I Il will be;seen by reference to our. ad-
vertisement, that the business of Find
lay is rapidly increasing. We are glad
to see this indication of a general pros
FIperity in our midst. 1t is now pretty well
understood in community that men who
advertise literally do business with their
patrons on liberal principles. They make
their business profession or calling known,
in order to establish reputation for dea,
ling honestly: and after thus securing Gus
toners, they wish, to keep up a name for
fair dealing, and would rather give than
take. Beware of men pretending to do
any kind of business who do not adver-
vertise, or if, they do, only by writing
with chalk or charcoal on shingles or
goods boxes. Such men are universally
mean and penurlous creatures, and would
take almost any advantage Of their custo-
mers. Indeed we should be afraid to
deal with such, and accidently leave our
purse within their reach, provided there
was anything In it, or to have our name
n their books as debtor We invariably
estimate mans business capacity, homes
ty, and integrity by the .amountof adver-
tising he has done, and when we deal
with a man who does not advertise, are
particular to count the change he gives
us. But it is not the fault of the press if
such miserly business men are weekly and
daily bursting up; they have repeatedly
seen sermons on the benefits of adyertis-
ing. -"

Being i'm Debt.

H1is atrite saying that the4pen of ge-di
MUS can redeem the tritest subject from
its tfiteness.sa A striking illustration of
this is contained in the following obserya-s
ton by Henry Ward Beecher on the dry
and hackneyed subject interest. How
vividlr he paint the miseriesof deht--what
biting sharpness in the words-what pith
and pregnancy in the sentence! He. says:
No blister draws sharper than interest
does Ofall industries none is com para
Bile to that of interest. It works dav and q
night, in fair weather and foul. 1t has
no sound in its footsteps, butltrayels fast. =
1t gnaws at a man substance with.invis-1i
ible teeth. 1t binds~industry with its
firm, as fly is bound upon spiders
web. Debt rolls man over. and oyer,a.
binding him hand and foot, and letting
him hang upon the fatal mesh until the1
long legged dintercstdevouts him. THERE'S
no crop thatcan afford to pay interest mo.
ney on farm. There is but one thing raise
ed on farm like it, and that is helCan-a
ada thistle, which swarms with new plants
every time you break its roots. whose
blossoms are very prolific, and every
flower of a million seeds. Every leafsiss
an awl, every branch a spear, and every
single plant is like platoon of bayonets.
and field full of themis like an armed
host. The whole land is a torment and a
vegetable curse. And yet a farmer had
better make hisbed of Canadas thistles
than attempt to lie atcase upon interest.'ss
