A PERNIcIoUs HABIT.-There is moth.
ing more fatal to man whose business
is to think, than to have learned the art
of regaling his mind with those airy
qualifications known as building castles
in the air. Other vices or follies are re.
strained by fear, reformed by admOni.
ton, or rejected by The conviction which
the comparison Of our conduct with
that Of others may in time produce
But this invisible riot Of the mind, this
secret prodigality Of being. is secure
from detection, and fearless Of reprOach.
The dreamer relires to his own apart
ments, shuts out tho cares and interrup.
tions OF mankind, and abandons himself
to his own fancy; new worlds rise up
before him, one Image is followed by
another, and long succession Of delights
dance around him. He is at last called
back TO life by nature, or by custom, and
enters peevish into society, because be
cannot model it TO his own will. He re-
turns from his idle excursions with The
asperity. though not with the knowledge
of student, and hastens again to th'
same felicity with the eagerness Of ;
man bent on the advancement Of som'
favorite science. The infatussion strength
ems by degrees. and, like the poison .
opiates, weakens his powers, withcu
any external symptoms Of maliguity.

Help From the Enemy.

The Republicans owe special vote Of
thanks 10 The two Democratic organs OF
Pittsburgh, the Post and Union, for i'm.
portant services lately rendered to their
cause. We trust the Union especially
will be remembered. That paper has
laid before its readers The whole Of Judge
Wnmot's letter to The American Council
thus placing it in the hands of class oil
voters VINO could be reached in no other
way. We hope they have read the doc
umcnt without reference to the editorial
artica; with which it was accompanied
Americans WHO have been the objects oI
such tender solicitute on the part of the
Democratic organs, will see how grossly
Judge Wamot has been misrepresented
Democrats will see in the letter no pro
scription of naturalized citizens, no perse
cution Of religious sects, no avowal o
principle which should not command tht
approval Of every right thinking man.
We repeat then, that our contemporaries
could have rendered us no greater service
than the publication in question and W,
believe the effect will be gain Of severa
hundred votes for Judge Wilmot in ALE
gheuy couuty. He was already sure o
the entire Republican vote, and his ma
jority now promises to be equal to if
shall not exceed, that of Gov. Pollock il

H The Princess ROYAL Of England

W The Princess Royal of England
is only sixteen, says European letter.
Her future husband, Prince Frederick
William Of Prussia, is twenty. Both are
said to be we'll bred and amiable persons.
The marriage between them will come
off some time this fall. Now that the
British Parliament has settled zoe, 900 ID.
to the bride, and given her besides on al
lowance Of 10000 ID. year, no Difficult
.y stands in the way. 1t is indeed, whis
pered in aristocratic circles in England
that even were political or financial OBJ
jec,ions presented to the marriage, il
would still be persevered in. The youth
ful lovers have seen great deal more o.
each other, than princes and princesses
used to do before marriage in Olden times
an attachment has sprung up betweer
them Of decidedly obstinate character
On the side of the Princess, especially
we are given to understand, the feeling il
impetuous and resolute. She is reported
to have declared that she cared nothing
what Parliament nigh. vote; she woul'
marry Frederick withou, title or a pen
ny, and she knew that he loved her wei
enough to reciprocate the intention. Thi
is very refreshing, after glance at tn
record of former royal marriages in Eng
land.

Fruits Of Civility.

Civility costs nothing, and considering
it pays its way SO handsomely in all com.
panies, to say nothing of occasional
chance advantages, it is marvel that it
is not more common-that it is not uni

Within few years, couple Of gen.
tlemen-one of whom was a foreigner
visited the various locomotive workshops
of Philadelphia. They called at the
most prominent one first, stated their
wishes to look through the establishment.
and made some inquiries Of more speci-
fic character. They were shown through
the premises in very Indifferent manner,
and no special pains were taken TO give
them any Information beyond what their
own inquiries drew forth. The same re.
suits followed their visits. 10 the several
larger establishments. BY some means,
they were induced to call on one of a
third or fourth rate character. The own
ef was himself workman, Of limited
means but on the application Of the
strangers, his natural urbanily Of manner
prompted him not only to show all thai
be had, but TO enter into detailed expla

in which he could conduct his factory, il
additional facilities Of capital were afor
ded him. I'he gentlemen left him, no
only favorably impressed towards him
but with the feeling that he thorough!
understood his business.
Within year he was surprised will
an invitation 10 visit ST. Petersburg. Th'
result was, his locomotive establishment
was removed there bodily. 1t was tn
agent Of the Gar who had called on him
in company with an American ci'izen.-
