Nerer Despise Your Rusiness.

"No man of sense" it has been observed,
"despises his bread and butter" 1t is only
the weak who are ashamed of laboring for
a livelihood, orwho affect to scorn the branch
of business which they especially pursue
The first duty which every man owes to
himself, to his family, to his fellow-citizens,
is not to become burden pccuniarily to
society. The commonwealth, also is the
most iourishing in which the proportion Of
drones is the fewest; indeed the idea of a
perfect State involves the necessity of every
member of it being a producer. Hence it
is that work is always honorable. The
most ordinary handicraft employed is as
worthy, if exercised honestly, as the profes-
sions of law or medicine. Each citizen
should follow that avocation for which he is
best suited, and when he does this he fulfills
the law of his existence, but never other
wise. A bad lawyer is less truly respecta-
bic than a good mechanic, and an able doc
tor is no more meritorious than an honest
laborer. To do ones duty, in the walk
where one can be most efficient, is to be
honorable; to neglect it, or to seek some
other walk, is to become really disgraced.
By this standard, and this only, should we
judge of mems responsibility. 1t is time
that we republicans banished the arbitrary
lines of caste, as applied to the pursuits Of
life, which are derived from feudal Europe.
Yet there are thousands of men who are
at heart ashamed of their business. Are
they retail venders? They scorn continu-
ing to make money in their old way, and
long to embark in the wholesale line. Are
they jobbers? They think if they could
only be shippers that their glory would cul-
inmate. Are they mechanics? They re-
gret that they are not lawyers. Are they
farmers? They think to be in business in
town would be the height of their ambition.
Such persons, in their hearts, worship alb
surd distinctions, inherited from the social
life of England, and regard the physician,
the politician, or the banker, as really great
er men than common human clay. These
are what Thackery calls "snobs;;" men Of
pretenso and weak folly; men who despise
their own bread and butter. The wise man,
on the contrary, seeks independence by
steadily attending to business, well aware
that an independence, honestly acquired,
is his best reward 1t is young men, or
rather lads, that are oftenest victims to this
weakness. Tens of thousands have been
shipwrecked in life from having chosen a
pursuit unsuitable to them, tempted thereto
by false notions of vulgarity of trade, and
the superior dignity of commerce or profes-
sion.-Philadelohia Ledger.

a The Gray Mare is the better Horse pa
Story with a Moral.

From Cozzens Ninepress
"7heogrey mare IS the better horse."-We
know very well the line is in Priors Epi-
logue to Lucius; but the story from which
the phrase is derived is something like this:
A gentleman who had seen the world, one
day gave his son a span of horses, a chariot,
and basket of eggs. "Do you," said he to
the boy, stravel upon the high road until
you come to the first house in which there
is married couple. If you find that the
husband is the master there, give him one
of the horses. II, on the contrary, the wife
is the ruler give her an egg. Return at
once if you part with horse, but do not
come back so long as you keep both horses
and there is an egg remaining"
Away went the boy full of his mission,
and, just beyond the borders of his fathers
estate, 10! modest cottage. He alighted
from the chariot and knocked at the door,
The good wife opened it for him and curte-
sled. SIS your husband at homer "No,'
but she would call him from the bayfield,
In he came, wiping his brows The young
man told them his errand. "Why," said
the wife, bridling and rolling the corner of
her apron, 81 always do as John wants me
to do; he is my master-ain't you, John p
To which John replied, ayes" "Then,"
said the boy, I" am to give you horse;
which will you take? |" 81 think, said John,
Eas how the bay gelding seems to be the
one as would suit me best" "If we have a
choice, husband" said the wife, 81 think the
gray mare will suit US best" "No," replied
John, "the bay for me; he is more square
in front, and his legs are better" "Now,"
said the wife, II don't think 50; the gray
mare is the better horse; and 1 shall never
be contented unless 1 get that one" "Well,"
said John, ''if your mind is set on it, I'll give
up, we'll take the gray mare" "Thank you" T"
said the boy; "allow me to give you an egg
from this basket, it is a nice fresh one, and
you can boil it hard or soft as your wife will
allow" TIE rest of the story you may i'm
agine; the young man came home with both
horses, but not an egg remained in his bas-
ket f.e-

What Next

G A new article of ladies dress has just
made its appearance in Broadway, and as q
description of it may prove Of interest to
to our lady readers we give one We find In
the Home Journal. That paper says:-"A
promenade oyer-dress-being close fitting
coat, like the New York surtout worn by
gentlemen-only not so long. It is all the
rage at present in Paris, and pearl drab
cashmere or pelisse cloth are the goods
preferred. The cut is double-breasted, with
four pearl of passementerie buttons on each
side of the lapels, and corresponding holes
in the lapels, and two buttons at the waist
behind, at the junction of the box plaits
and side seams. The collar IS quite small.
The sleeves are cut in the pagods style
that is, a very little fullness at the arm
hole, and formed to fit the arm nearly to
the elbow, from whence they widen so as
to become very large and flowing at the
wrist, where they are turned over to form a
round cuff of three inches in depth. For a
waist sixteen inches in length the skirts
should be about eighteen inches long, and
cut in a circle, to sew without fullness to
the bodice, and still fall gracefully over a
hooped skirt of moderate amplitude. The
linenings are of silk surge to match, and
the edges are bound with fine galloon.-
There are two diamonal pockets in the
skirts, This garment should be cut and
made by tailor who posses some know
ledge of the ornamental art when 1t be-
comes one of the most attractive and COM
Portable garments for promenade that was ev-
81 adopted by the ladies"

NEwroUNDLAvD Doc PUrr1Ne OUT A F1Rl

NEWFOUNDLAND Doc PUTrING OUT FIRE
-WoNDERFUL SAGAc1TY.-One of the most
astonishing instances of the sagacity of tho
dog transpired this morning. which ever
came to our knowledge. The Messrs.
Staude, Tobacconists, No. 35 Congress
street. closed their store last evening, leaving
their favorite Newfoundland inside. This
morning, on opening the Store, the floor
in the back room was found to be on fire,
and the dog was laboring with his fore feet
and mouth, trying to subdue it. A pail of
water which stood in the room had been
poured down the hole. The faithful animal
had so successfully combatted the fire as to
prevent its spreading beyond spot of two
or three feet square. How long the noble
fellow had stood sentinel and fought down
the advancing flames, can only be conjectur-
ed-it must have been for several hours
His feet, legs and mouth were badly burned
and it is feared that he is seriously hurt in
ternally by inhaling the hot air. He re-
fuses food and is apparently in much pain
We trust the sagacious and faithful creature
is not dangerously injured. This is the
same dog which discovered the man, Lally,
on the ice few weeks since. He is worth
his weight in gold, and may safely be pro-
nounced the noblest of his race.-Troy

AN AMERICAN SHIP REVEALING THE
MYSTERY OF HAREM.-An American ship
drifting helpless down the current of the
ran its bowsprit into that part Of
a nobleman's palace devoted to his harem.
The side of the house was crushed in, one
balcony was torn of, whole divans were rip
ped up, one chandelier swept from its fas-
Jennings and shivered into fragments; the
frightened inmates rushed out in such i'm
promptu costumes that the whole neighbor-
hood felt scandalized. Turkish pride became
deeply wounded, and our unfortunate COM
patriot found himself amenable to the disa-
greeable alternative of either paying about
double amount of the damage, or becoming
an inmate of Turkish Jail. At first the
captain strongly resisted the gross imposi-
ton, but ultimately yielded to the gentler
suggestion of bagnio heas.

Pulpit EIoquence.

In the lecture delivered last evening by
John Savage, says the Albany Transcript
of the I4th inst, at Association Hall, oc-
Cured the following scene thoroughly char
acteristic of the days "that tried mems
souls"
An eloquent pastor, said Mr.. Savage, on
the frontiers of Virginia, gave notice that on
certain Sabbath he would preach his fare
we'll sermon. The day came. The home
ly temple was thronged with hardy noun
taineers. They over filed the church, and
crowded the little burial place. Every one
was breathless. That intuitive knowledge
of coming events, which at times agitates
the most sluggish intellects, guided by pc
culiar circumstances, excited the assembly
to marvellous anxiety. The theme of the
day was the subject of the sermon-Peace
or War-Liberty or Deathl He was a
plain vigorous speaker. Every word fell on
the audience like mallet knocking of their
chains. He portrayed their suferings, their
wrongs, and dwelt on the sacred character
of the War of Independence. "Aye," said
he in conclusion, Sin the language Of holy
writ, there is time for all things-a time
to preach and a time to pray, but those
times have passed away,"-and then In a
voice of thunder-''there is also time to
fight, and that time has now come" Pro-
nouneing the benediction he deliberately
removed his gown, and an armed warrior
stood before them. That soldier priest was
the Rev. Peter Muhlenberg, afterwards Ma
ior-General in the Revolutionary War.

THE NEW ORLEANS SLAVE MART.

On Thursday, March 9th, at the Arcade,
we attended large sale of negroes at auc-
ton. The families were all sold together,
no separation being allowed by the law
We were quite interested in the sale of a
quadroon or creole girl about 21 years old.
She was above the medium height-well
and fairly formed, and her complexion was
Of fair light brown color. She would be
taken at the North for a cross between the
white and the Indian race. Her hair was
straight and black like the Indians-her
forehead high and finely formed-her eyes
full, dark and pleasing, and her whole ap-
pearance indicative of character and respect
ability. She was neatly dressed, with hand
some ear rings and breast pin for ornaments.
and was warranted as girl Of excellent
character-a seamstresS capable Of cutting
out any kind of work; and woman whose
character was above reproach. To us it
seemed astounding that such a woman
should be sold at the auction block, but such
sights are so common here as not even to
excite remark.
Yet aside from slavery, there is great
deal to admire at the South. You meet
with some of the noblest men and women in
the world; frank, open-hearted, generous to
fault, quick to resent an injury, but for
giving and noble; hospltable to strangers,
and ready at all times to do q service for a
friend, you cannot do otherwise than admire
and respect them.

singular Discovery.
The last number of the North Calyor
Ridn says :

The last number of the North CalJor-
nian says:
A party of eight men started on Thurs
day last on prospecting tour, the results
of which was one of the most important dis
coveries ever made in the country. In cross
ing the Table Mountain they observed that
in many places the ground seemed hollow,
and in one place, on striking upon the
ground with a sledge, the echo was given
back with such distinctness that led them to
believe there would be little difficulty in
breaking through. Having procured prop
er implements, they set to work. After go
ing the depth Of four feet, one of the party,
who was using the crowbar, was seen sud
denly to fall upon his face; upon examina-
ton, hole was found about four inches
wide, through which the bar had slipped
and sunk into the bowels of the mountain.
The aperture was Immediately enlarged, but
it was found that owing to the brittleness Of
the rock it was exceedingly dangerous work
ing around it. The parties have taken up
about 5000 feet around the hole, and are
busy getting windlasses, &c, to prospect it
further. A correspondent states that both
gold and coal have been found there, and
promises us further information.

Brutal Assault.


Yesterday, passenger on the Buckeye
State, givihg his name as o. L. Williams, Of
Parkersburg, Va, made an unproyoked as
sault upon colored porter, named Hall,
striking him with heavy cane, inficting q
severe cut on the side of the head. It ap-
pears that some bread had been placed on
the wharf for the use Of the boat, and Hall,
seeing a man in the act of carrying some
of it away, told him to take it back, as it be-
longed to the boat. Williams then stepped
up and asked Hall what he had said; and
on his repeating it, the Virginian raised his
cane and made the assault, as above de-
tscribed. Hall went Immediately TO the
Mayors office, and made an information
against him. A warrant was issued, and
placed in the hands of officers Hamilton and
Ray, who proceeded to the boat forthwith.
On their arrival, they found the Virginian IN
a state room, with both doors strongly bar
Iricaded. On demanding admittance, they
were answered by Williams that he would
not be taken; whereupon officer Ray knock
ed one of the doors off its hinges, and rush
ed in upon him; Williams drew a largo
dirk knife, and attempted to use it, but was
prevented from so doing by officer Hanil-
ton, who, in his endeavors to wTest the knife
from him, received a severe cut across the
palm of the right hand. After fierce strug-
gle Of half an hour, the officers conquered,
and the gentleman from the South was
taken before Mayor Bingham. On pay
mens of a certain sum to Hall, the costs,
DC, amounting in all to the neat little sum
Of fifty dollars, the suit was withdrawn and
the prisoner discharged.
The only reason given BY Williams fee
this brutal assault upon an uno6snding per-
son, was, shat be had entirely torgotten
that he was in Pennsylvania meaning, Of
course, that if he had Knocked down 8 AniFs
gerr in Virginia, the affair would not have
caused such sensation" We think few
more doses Of Pennsylvania law would have
good effect upon him Pittsburgh Jour.

BuR1ALs IN CHARcoAL.-It is fact well
established by experiment, that dead animal
matter, covered with charcoal, will undergo
puterfaction and complete decomposition
without the least offensive smell. For this
reason it has been recommended by DIR.
Richardson, journal of Healthy to enclose
the corpse in this substance previous to bur
ial in large towns The suggestion might
be useful where it becomes, from any cause,
necessary to keep the bodies of friends for
some days before burying them, as, by this
means, all unpleasant effluvia will be pre-
vented. A layer of powdered charcoal four
inches in thickness will be sufficient.

About Luck.
Henry Ward Beecher, in recent lecture,

said:
"I may here, as we'll as anywhere, i'm
part the secret of what is called good luck
and bad luck. There are men, who sup
posing Providence to have an implacable
spite against them, bemoan in the poverty
of wretched old age the misfortunes of
their lives. Luck forever ran against them
and for others.
"0ne, with a good profession, lost his
profession in the river, where he idled away
his time fishing, when he should have been
in his Office. Another, with good trade,
perpetually burnt up his luck by his hot
temper, which provoked all his employers
to leave him. Another, with lucrative
business, lost his luck by amazing diligence
at everything but his business. Another,
steadily followed his trade, as steadily fol
lowed his bottle. Another, who was hon
est and constant at work, erred by perpetual
misjudgments; be lacked discretion. Hun
dreds lose their luck by endorsing; by san
guine speculations; by trusting fraudulent
men, and by dishonest gains. A man new
er has good luck who has bad wife, l
never knew an early rising, hard working,
prudent man, careful of his earnings, and
strictly honest, who complained of bad luck.
A good character good habits, and iron in
dustry, are impregnable to the the assaults
of all the i'll luck that fools ever dreamed
of. Rut when / see tatterdemalion creep
ing out of a grocery late in the forenoon,
with his hands stuck into his pockets, the
rim of his hat turned up, and the crown
knocked in, l know he has bad luck, for
the worst of all luck, is to be sluggard, a
knave, or tippler."
