Always Finding Fanlt.

There are certain people who cau>
not live without finding fault. No
matter what subject, or person, comes
In the course of conversation. they
start some frivolous objection, or make
some censorious. remark. Instead of
trying to be in charity with their
neighbors, they take malicious pleasure
IN speaking evil about them. They
obstinately shut their eyes to good
qualities, while they employ n1lcros>
copes TO discover and magnify evil
ones and afterwards they torture Ian
guage to exaggerate what they have
seen, so as TO depreciate as much as
possible. They do not, however, aI>
ways speak out boldly. But they deal
Iin inuendoes, in hints, and in ominous
shakes ofthe head. Instead of frankly
assailing in front they assassinate be>
hind the back. Practically they per-
suade others that all men are so evil,
that there is not even chance of re-
form. Even In acts incontestibIy good
they pretend to find latent selfshness.
They spend their lives in defiling hu~
man nature, like the foul Yacoos
whom the satirist has depicted. To
believe them there are none virtuous
but themselves all the rest of mans
kind being knayes, brutes, or devils.
The proverbial fauIt>fnder little
thinks that, in censuring so malicious
ly and indiscriminately, he is only
painting his own portrait. It is a se>
cret consciousness of hisow demerits,
a gnaWlng rage at the superiority of
others, which is the real cause of his
wants of charity, the principle induce.
ment to his abuse. His own heart is
the mirror from which he describes
mankind. The best men have been
those invariably who spoke the most
kindly of their race. The great type
OF all manhood, whose perfect humans
ity is the admiration even of Pagans
and Atheists, ever spoke in benignant
terms, having charity even for 'publi-
cans and sinners. Ii issto this precept
that we owe the great doctrine of hu
man brotherhood. In the ideal of the
fallen Lueifer, we have, on the contra>
ry, the incarnation of malice, hate,
ill>will and evil speaking. As
the one is said to have come TO bring
peace and good will to men, so the
other first defled the fair creation with
strife, and sowed 'war among the hosts
Of heaven. Wenever hear aprofessed
fault finder, but our thoughts recur to
his type. We never listen 10 the
benefcent language Of one who is in
charity with his race, without feeling
that he is advancing more and more to
the perfect man. -Phila Ledger.

Good Rules for the Times.

The Providence Rhode Island) Post
makes the following good suggestions
for the times
Now for action Get a cheap ten
ement, if possible, even if you have TO
search in the suburbs for it. IF there
is not room in it for the display of all
your furniture, allow some of the fIr>
niture TO go nndispiayed. Give up
the idea Of many spare rooms, or ex~
penSive entertainments. So arrange
your'household til at you can get along
with only one or! at most, two fires.
Your wife will, probably, propose to
get along without a servant girl. or
with only occasional assistance; and,
ifshe enjoys tolerable health, you can.
accede to the proposal. There is no
work so healthy as common house
work. At the same time You had bet
ter object to much needle>work in the
night. If you burn gas, have an eye
to the quantity consumed and SO Of
oil or burning fluid. Look next to your
clothing. Learn Yourchildren to think
of economy ia this respect, Make the
old do, if yon can, even with much
mending If vou must have new, let
it he coarse and strong. Your table
must have constant attention. Supply
it with Wholesome food, but be very
careful ii making yollr purchases, that
yolI get nothing to be wasted and nos
thing that you do not need Yon ean
get along just as we'll as vonr grands
father did, without tea Of coffee with
but little sugar, without fruit, and
sweetmeats. Come down to a subs
stantial diet. looping off all the unne>
eessary accompaniment ofothertlnes.
If you own a piano, keep il for your
Wife's sake, but remember that you
can't afford to pay music teachers until
the times gel better. Avoid all street
expenses the purchasing Of cigars,
apples, candies, liquors, etc. Do all
vour eating and drinking at home, and
look ID your honlefor your enjoyment.

How sweet It's to return
Where once we've happy been
Though paler now hfe's lamp may burn,
And years have rolled between.
And if those eyes beam welcome yet

We live whole years again

Presents her cup, and when

We live those years again.

FleaSG MOI GeJ IIaat
| Under this caption we have read one Of tn,
most sensible articles, that has fallen under GU
observation, for many day. Il il from The
Natehez Courier Of late date. We quote i
entire:
IL is exceedingly foolish for any one Of
our advertising friends or subscribers stc
get mad and stop their favors or their
paper, because bill is presented to them
for money long since earned and due; and
equally foolish for them to suppose they
injnre or mortify us in so doing. Times
are tight, we know, and money scarce;
but the tighter the times, and the scarcer
is money, the more imperatively neces-
sary is it for the newspaper proprietor 10
collect amounts due him. Every thing
about his Office is obtainble only for ready
money. The wages Of his compositors
and Pressman are to be paid each Satur-
day. Paper is a cash article, more gene
rally paid for before arrival, than after
Telegraph bills come in weekly. Ex-
cepting in the smallest expenditures oflns
office, everything that brings his paper
out regularly, Or supplies his news, or
expedites his job work, has TO be paid for
on the cash system. The harder the times.
the more promptly his workmen and pa
per merchant require their money.
ltisno little trial to have the proprietor
ship and editorial charge of newspaper
united in the same hands. The Editor
ought 10 be antrammelled by business
cares. His thoughts, in business hours,
ought not to be taken from his columns,
to be engrossed with the troubles of dun.
ming. or the very offinaneial erpIexities.
Every hour that the forgefalness of his
subscribers or advertising friends makes
him waste in running about The street, or
inhnnting updebtors, is precisely so much
Of his time and labor taken from his read
ers- The latter are entitled TO each bust
ness hour, and they are wronged when
the editor is compelled to divert those
hours TO other than their proper occupa-
ton.
But we did not start to write disserta-
ton Oh editorial troubles, but simply il. .
say to any subscriber Of one, Two, three or
four years standing. that there is no ne
cessity for his getting angry If his bill ii
# inclined to go without the
paper, because we want the Ave, ten, or
fifteen dollars due, he is perfectly wels
come to do so. We take much more
pleasure in stopping the paper under such
circumstances, than the subscriber does
IN ordering i discontinued, provided he
pays np his arrearages. We believe the
Courier u worth the money asked for it,
and that every advertiser gets yalue re-
ceived for what he pays. IF he does not
think 50, he should not sensl in his orders.
We want all the world and the rest of
mankind. 10 read the Courier, and feel a
grateful pride at the liberal patronage its |
advertising columns enjoy; but there is a
mutual obligation about this, as about
every other business. Ii is our duty TO

Wheat turning To Chess

Many persons believe that under certain
circumstances chess plants can be produced
from wheat seed \ brief statement of an
experiment on that subject was given in
our paper Of last week
The Country Gentleman gives the follow
ing more particular account Of the matter
well worth reading by the curious in such
matter.
Some months ago, to settle a controversy
on tins subject, Benilmin Hodge Of Buffalo
offered Il premium Of oHc huudrtd doiiGrS to
any one who would demonstrate that wheat
would turn to Chess--tO be awarded under
the supervision Of the New York State
Agricultural Society, and under such rules
as Il committee appointed 10y the Society
should prescribe, This premium was lately
claimed by Samuel Dawson, Of Greece,
Monroe Co n. Y. who had in his pos .es-
sion, as he believed, the evidence OF trans
mutton, a committee appointed by the
Society, consisting Of Prof Dewey and L. b,
Llngworthy of Rochester, and j } Thom-
as OF umon Springs, with Col. Johnson
Sec OF the Society, met at Rochester to cx-
anime the evidence.
The experiment 10 prove transmutiou
was the following A quantity Of cartI
was passed through line sieve, to scpurat,
all chess seeds. 1t was placed in a pan auo
several heads Of wheat planted in it wher
the wheat came up, 1t was subjected to al
the hard treatment that usualy;produee5
