Don't 90 about running down wha: persons
of sense aud honesty approve.
Don't have the face to call yourself A Man

Don't abuse your neighbors all the week
and put on Il long face when you 60 TO church
on Sunday.
Dnu't allow others to lead you about by the
nosc and call Yourself FREEMAN.
Don't listen to abuse heapcd upon one you
cali friend.
Don't borrow paper which is not worth
paving for.
Don't set yourself up for n great man be-
fore you have found out whether you contain

Don't imagine for a moment that an editor
cares what those who have no minds of their
own think of his paper.
Don't abuse Il man because he is rich and

Don't try to make sensible people believe

who have taken Iorcible possession of the

PORTABLE TELEGRAPH lNsrRUMENT.-ltis
said that one of Bcrguets portable telegraph
instruments is carried by every railroad train
in France. Should any stoppage or accident
occur, the conductor alishts with the lnstru-
ment, connects one wire with the earth, the
other with the line of telegraph, and can thus
communicate with the stations On either side
of him. The same inventor has contrived an
"clectric monitor aud automatic controller"
by which the Superintendent Of any line can
be kept informed of the progress of any train
through its whole journey, the signal being
transmitted us it passes each distance post.
