Making Haste to get Rich.

Somebody makes the following SEN
sible and well-timed remarks on this
besetting evil Of the day
"The notion of doing business on a
great scale, and riding into a fortune in
a few years, on a mere borrowing Of
money or credit, without any actual ba-
sis of property, is that which has be
crazed the commercial community and
made all classes of business men wild
and reckless. This pcrnicious notion
we should drive out, and return to the
old plan of cautious and safe operations
We should make up our minds that to
acquire wealth is a gradual work. We
must learn to go about business steadily
and patiently, contcntod, if we can, by at
tcntion and industry, to make some ad-
vance, and, along with diligence in our
business, enjoy some leisure for higher
and better things. 1t is by no means
necessary to be rich at all and it is GER
tainly preposterous to expect to become
SO in day"

ADvANTAGE or PUNCTUATIoN.--
Punctuation, that is the putting Of stops
in the right places, cannot be too sedu-
lously studied. We lately read, in a
country paper, the following startling
account of Lord Palmerston's appear
ance in the House of Commons: .-
'Lord Palmerston entered on his
head, white hat upon his feet, large
but well polished boots upon his brow,
dark cloud in his hand, his faithful
walking stick in his eye, a mepaeing
glare saying nothing. He sat down

TELEGRAM OR TELEGRAPH?-The En-
glish government has started the word
telegram for telegraphc despatch.
A newspaper correspondent discusses the
propriety thereof, and writes: "An cpl
gram, diagram, a monogram, and an
anagram-but an autograph a lithograph,
a photograph, and telegraph. What
is the principle? When the compound
denotes the character of the writing, it
takes gram when it denotes the means,
it takes graph. In the case of a tele-
graphic message, the means of transmits,
sion are indicated. Therefore the proper
word is a telegraph Do not be misled

The SAFEGUARD OF YoUTH.-If YOU
would keep pure the heart of your chill
and make his youth innocent and happy
surround him with objects Of interest and
beauty at home. If you would prevent
a restless spirit, if you would save him
from that lowest species of idolatry, "the
love Of money" and teach him to "love
what is lovely adorn your dwellings,
your street, and public squares with trees,
and hedges, and lawns and flowers, so
that his heart may early and ever be
impressed with the love Of Him who
made them.

Clement. She was the daughter Of
clergyman nearly related to the family
of an Irish earl. A more beautiful
creature when in all the pride Of eighteen
she stood at the altar, it is not possible
to conceive. She married gallant young
captain of the name of Tower, Of tho
Gath, native Infantry Of Bengal. Her
family, consisting of her mother, sister
and young brother, are now living ia
the rue Torredos, in Paris. They have
just received intelligence, that on the
goth of June their Interesting relative
was sacrificed in the following brutal
manner: Her two lovely children, boy
and girl, wore massacred joint by joint
while living, before her eyes, after she
herself had been delivered over success
siyely to the brutal lusts Of three iends
in human shape. From the scene Of
her mutilated children she was carried
away and places in hot bath, after
a sleeping potion was given her aud she
was put TO bed. The next day she was
brought down again into the presence Of
other devils in human guise, six Of whom
having again gmtifed their diabolical
lust, threw her cut Of the window 70 be

evening her head was found impalsd on
an iron stake. The husband has since

A SPIRITED BRIDE.--A couple were
going to be married, and had proceeded
as far as the church door The gentle
man then stopped his intended bride, and
thus unexpectedly addressed her: my
dear Eliza, during our courtship l have
told you much of my mind but not told
you the whole. When we are married
I shall insist upon three things. "What
are they?" asked the lady. SIN the first
place, " said the bridegroom, II shall
sleep alone, l shall eat alone, and find
fault where there is no occasion. Can
you submit to these conditions" "Oh,
yes, sir, very easily" was the reply,
'for if you sleep alone, shall not; if
you cat alone, shall cat first; and as
to your finding fault without occasion
that think may be prevented, for 1
shall take care that you shall not want
occasion The conditions being thus
adjusted they proceeded to the altar,
and the ceremony was performed.

For the News.
WE MUST PART.


"Frlend after friend DEPARTS
Who hath not lost friend7
There is no union here Of hearts,
That hath not here an end"
Yes, we must part, beloved!
How snd the thought TO me,
That the strong ties that bind US.
Must rent asunder be!
That one must hear, alone,
Deaths solemn water. fow,
And pass beyond the rolling tide,
While one remains below.
Yes, we must part, beloved!
The solemn words be spoken;
The links Of 1--we that bind US
On earth, be sadly broken!
And one must bid the other
A sOrrOwfuf sdiny -.r..-.
But our love dreams need not perish
We may dream them all anew.
Yes, we must part, beloved,
But the parting may be briefi "a
The Death-angel that claims me,
May soon relieve thy grief;
And our union may be sweeter sfse1
Than ever here below; .-rr erry
For mingled with life's sweetest drnught'
There is a drop Of woe - ..s
Yes, we must part, beloved! . .a,..
But hope that never dies
That lives within my bosom,
Points beyond tn e starry skies:
And sPiritvoise soft whispers,
Midst al anguish aud all pain,
Though the parting surely must be,
We shall surely meet again
Yes, we must part, beloved!
And my heart would broken be,
lf | thought we should be parted
Through the great eternity!
No, no, no! I've ever cherished
The sweet hope, when life is past,
J shall meet thee in Heaven dearest,
And dwell with thee at last!
