.LgTrEsRRoN .AUsrRAL1A.-The following let.
ter, handed tons, Is from d Young man well
knownto our citizens, and To thespe6isis Of this
vicinity, as thiscity was his fotme. residence.
He has Travelled almost as extensively as Bay.
ari,Taylor, although yet quite young man.
He left here at the time of the Mexican war,
when General Taylor was so hard pressed
former, and went out with the Missouri troops.
After his return, he went to California with the
overland emigrants from this city, in l940 He
returned here in 1851. He then went on a tra-
ding expedition TO Mexico, and after remaining
there short time returned home, and again
started for California. In 1858, he left that
State, and wentto Australia, and after staying
there awhile, started for Peru, in#South Ameri-
ca, and was in the city of Lima, while the
country was under revolution. He again re-
turned to Australia, and from there left for the
Fegee Islands, and has just returned to Austria.

The TrInls of Lie.

Life is entirely made up of great evils
or heavy trials but the perpetual recur-
renee of petty evils and small trials in
the ordinary and appointed exercise of
the Christian graces. To bear with the
failings of those about us-with their
infrmities, their bad Judgment, their i'll
breeding, their perverse tempers-to en-
dure neglect when we feel deserved at
tention. and ingratitude when We ,ex-
pccted thanks-to bear with the compa-
ny of disagreeable people whom Provi-
dence has perhaps provided or purposed
for the trial of our virtue-these are the
best exercises of patience and self -deni-
al, and the better because not chosen by
ourselves. To bear with vexation in
business, with disappointment in our
expectations, with interruptions of our
retirement, with folly, intrusion, distur-
bance-in short whatever opposes our
will-contradicts our humor-this ha-
bitual acquiescence appears to be more
of the escence of felf- than any
little rigors or infections of our own i'm
posing. These constant inevitable, but
inferior evils, properly improved, furn-
ish a-good moral discipline, and might,
in the duys of ignorance, have superse-
ded pilgrimage and pcnance. &.

guished the lamp-the deacon, the old

Mayweed, extricating himself from the

The next day all Appleton was alive
with the story of how deacon Barber.

though many believed his version, yet
some, and especially Joe Mayweed, af-
fected to discredit the whole affair, ahd

the experiment of tasting frozen cider,
and that the vagaries of the clock case
existed only in distempered imagina-
ton. ''i" -.

a Wordto Youn. Ladies.

We believe yonug lady, by her con-
stant consistent, Christian example, may
exert untold power. You do not know
the respect, the almost worship, which
young men, no matter how wicked they
may be themselves pay to a consistent
Christian lady, be she yonng or old. A
gentleman once said to lady who board
ed in the same house with him, that her
life was constant proof of the Christian
religion. Often the simple request Of a
young lady will keep ayoung man from
doing wrong. We have known this to
be the case very frequently ; and young
men have been kept from breaking the
Sabbath, from drinking from chewing,
just because a young lady whom they re-
spected: and for whom they had an af-
fection requested it. .-., .... r..

sheet poster for the '.Warbling Min
strcl," want this very night to send to
Play -sir-ville by the 8 o'clock express"
20, yes, certainly" replied the clerk.
The printing was done, and bill for
twenty dollars made out. During the
absence of the clerk, the posters went
off under the arm of the agent, and no
bill paid either. Three days after, the
clerk saw the man, and politely asked,
Pay this bill?" The man knew moth
ing about, and of course paid no such
bill. Twenty dollars gone on one job.
Saturday arrived and the poor clerk
was sadly distressed, as not more than
half the required amount of money had
been received. Mcssrs. Rich & Slow,
Of Pinchville, replied that they would
pay soon, but could not that day. The
gas man came in with pitiful face, and
sald-'pay this Dill.
"Caunot pay o-day, it is impossible.
Come in on Monday
Impossible" repeated the gas man.,
+=iitmust be paid. o-day, OH
<"Or what?" demanded the clerk, a
little riled.
We'll stop your supply of gas
Don't do that for God IS sake. Here
is the amount of your bill.'
Evening came and the poor printers
had to go home with half their earnings
thirty dollars were borrowed
of Shaver, the banker.
MoRAL.-No one should hesitate to
pay the printer his dues. No class of
people work more diligently, and to
withhold it when due, is sin of which
no honest man would be guilty.
