STEPHEN ALIENS POCKET PIECE.-In the pocket
book Of the Hon. Stephen Allen, who was drowned
from on board the Henry Clay, was found printed
slip apparently cut from a newspaper, of which the
following is a copy
Keep good company, none Never be idle. If
you hands can't be useuly employed, attend to the
cultivation of your mind. Always speak the truth
Make few promises. Live up to your engagements
Keep your own secrets, if your have any. When
you speak to person, look him in the face Good
company and good conversation are the very sinews
Of virtue. Good character is above all things else
Your character cannot be essentially injured except
by your own acts If any one speaks evil of you,
let your life be so that none will believe him. Drink
no kind Of intoxicating liquors. Ever live (misfor-
tune excepted with in your income When you retire
to bed, think over what you have been doing during
the day. Make no haste to be rich, if you would
prosper. Small and steady gains give competency
with tranquility of mind Never play at any game
of chance. Avoid temptation through fear you
may not Withstand it. Earn money before you spend
1t. Never run into debt unless you see way to get
out again. Never borrow if you can possible avoid
It. Do not marry until you are able to support a
wife Never speak evil of any one. Be just before
you are generous. Keep yourself innocent, if you
would be happy. Save when your are young, to
spend when you are old. Read over the above max
inns at least once a week.

MAN JUMPING FROM TABLE ROCK, NIAGARA
FALLS.

BUFFALO, Sept. y. An Englishman, well dressed
and supplied with ordinary luggage, arrived in the
Great Western train yesterday at Niagara Falls and
registered his name on the books of the Clifton
House, as W. T. Allen, Montreal. After getting to
his room he ordered a bottle Of wine-drank it -
wrote two letters and then came down stairs walk
ed deliberately out the Table Rock waded into
the water as far as the rapid current would permit,
took off his hat and threw it, and plunged himself
over the precpce into the roaring cataract, to be
seen no more.
The letters left in the room were opened. One
was directed to Miss Allen, ireland, probably a
sister; the other to business firm in Montreal
The first was an unintelligible scrawl; the other
could only be decyphered partially.
On his way from the depot, he asked the driver
whether any one had ever jumped over the falls with
out being killed Al answer in the negative brought
the response that he could or would do it. This
threat was regarded by the driver as a foolish, idle
boast; but about 3 NJ. the stranger made the at
tempt. Whether he intended to commit suicide or
simply out jump Sam atch, probably no one will
ever be able to tell. The leap certainly was pre-
but the letters assign no reason for the
rash act. He seemed to have plenty Of money, and
gold watch and chain, all of which, with his body
will probably lie wedged in the crevices of the rocks
at the bottom Of Niagara river

From UTAH.-The New York Times has late news
from Utah, with dates to August 18th, by the arri
val in that city Of Elders Samuel W. Richards and
George G. Snyder, direct from Salt Lake, on their
way to fulfil a mission in England. The Mormons
were in a hopeful condition, not at all dismayed
and in state Of profound wonder at the purpose of
the Government in sending troops against them
The harvest has been extraordinarily plentiful this
season. Work was progressing the new Temple.
Business was reviving. Elder Richards reports
having passed on the Plains a Mormon immigration
OF 1000 persons On their way to Utah. All we're in

SAVING SEED CoRN--The experience of the wet
summer, two years ago, and the consequent bad
condition Of corn for seed, should admonish farm
ers not to be caught as they were with poor seed
the next season The probability is that this years
corn will be less rpened than any year within our
immediate generation, and if we expect seed that
will be fit for next years use, must be careful in
the selection and saving of it. 1t would be well to
90 through the fields at the proper time, and pick
the earliest largest and ripest ears, and put them
in loft or other dry place, where they will be pro-
tected from the extreme cold and storms of winter
An esrly attention TO this matter may save a good
deal Of expense and disappointment at planting
