Cool RAscALITY.-In Cincinnati, q
few days since, two sharLers accosted q
countryman, stopping at one of the ho
tells, and stating that they were "detec
tives," declared that he was suspected
of dealing in counterfeit money. The
ruralist asserted his entire innocence /;
but they said that they would search
him, and took bin into a private room,
when they found sos in good money.
One went to consult a Detector concern
ing the bank notes, and remained away SO
long that his companion also started in
search of the delayer. Of course,
neither returned, and the unsophistica-
ted fellow learned too late that he was
victimized.

WANTED,
AN HONEST, INDUSTRIOUS BOY.

We lately saw an advertisement headed
a. above. It conveys to every boy ar
impressive moral lesson.
San honest, industrious boy is always
wanted. He will be sought for; his
services will be respected and loved
he will be spoken of in terms of high
eommendation he will grow up to be a
man of known worth and established
character.
he will be wanted. The merchant viii
want him for . salesman or a clerk; the
master mechanic wants him for an appren
tice or q journeyman; clients will want
him for an attorney; patients, for a ply.
s~iciani religious congregations, for a
teacher of their children, and the people
for an officer.
BE will be wanted. Townsmen will
want him as q citizen; acquaintance as
. neighbor, as q friend; families, as a
visitor; the world, as an acquaintance,
nay, girls will want him for q beau and f.
Dally for Q husband.
An honest, industrious boyl Just think
Of it, boys will you answer this discrip-
ton ? Can you apply for this situation ?
Are you sure you will be wanted ? You
may be smart and active, but that does
not I'LL the requisition-are you honest?
You may be capable-are you honest {?
You may be we'll dressed and create a
favorable. impression at first sight-are
you both "honest and industrious?"-
You may apply for a "gOod situation"-
are JON sure that your friends, teachers,
ard acquaintances can recommend you
for these qualitiesP Oh, how would you
feel, your character not being thus estab.
lshed, on thus hearing the words Cant
employ you" Nothing else will make
mp the lack of these qualities. No readi
ness or aptness for business will do it.
You must be honest and Industrious
must work and labor; then your "calling
and election " for places of profit and
trust be "made sure."-Lonton Reg.

FAULT FINDING.

A cRITIcIslNa, carping, dotraotiDg dis
position is one of the most useless and
damaging that can be. 1t is always the
offspring of d%epravity, aud lives on 1t.
1t corrupts all it touches; it mars all
beauty, and labors under the disability
Of enjoying or finding any good. 1t is
a~malignant emptiness. having pothing
in itself, and nothing to enjoy in others.
Beueyolence can enrich itself, in its
estimation Of the good of others, it can
take part in all good motions, but this
leaDness we are noticing is s~loue, and
looks to itself for all good. 1t is an eye
that mokes'no use of seeing. Here is
what a wise man says on the subject.
There is a disposition observable in
some, to view unfavorablY every thing
that falls under their notice. They
seek to gain confidence by always differ
ing from others in judgment, and to
Gepreoiate what they allow to be worthy
in itself, by limiting at some mistake or
imperfection in the performance. You
are too lofty or too low in your man
ners ; you are too frugal or too %rrofuse
in your expenditure you are too tact
turn or too free in yonr speech and so
of the rest. Now, guard against this
tendency. Nothing will more conduce
to your Observation-Disclosures than living
in the neighborhood of ill-nature, and
becoming familiar with discomfort. The
disposition grows with indulgence, aud
is low and base in itself; and if any
should be ready to pride themselves on
skill and facility il the science, let them
remember that the acquisition is cheap
and easy a child can deface and destroy;
dizziness and stupidity, which seldom
lack inclination or means, can cavil and
find fault and every thing can furnish
ignorance, prejudice, and envy with a
handle of %reproach.'

GENERAL JACKSON AND HIS OLD War
HoRsE.-Everybody must sanction the
kindness bestowed on the f~avorite war
horse, and the more than ordinary hon.
or paid him after death by the brave mas.
Ter and family. Why? Because he was
faithful servant and an efficient helper
in the day of trouble--in the hour of
danger. I wal often reminded of bis
praiseworthy remembrance of fidelity
and merit, cherished by my old friend
General Jackson toward his famous
"Old Duke" the horse he rode during
the Southern campaign of the late wars.
Tho ssDuke" grew feeble, was greatly
afflicted, Witbered and almost helplses
in his latter day, he was not forgotten
nor suffered to be neglected. 1 have
in q walk with the General, more than
once zone to the lot which contained the
living wreck of martial v%alor, and, while
the old creature would rest and stagger,
look wishfully at his master, the Gen.
eral would sighiugly say:"Ah, poor fell
lowl We have seen hard times together
we must shortly sepnrate-your days
Of suffering and toll are we'll nigh ended"
On one of these occasions, to try the
General on a tender point, the writer
of this article suggested the idea of put
ting an end to the suffering Of Duke"
By having him shot or knocked in the
bead. "No," said his generous master"
never let him live; and while there is
an, thing to go upon this farm, Duke
fbAll have q part"

The Richmond Enquirer says
there is one square mile of land between
Smyth and Washington counties, Va,
on the north fork of the Holston river,
which is worth more than the whole val
uation of the city of New York. The
salt rock, within this mile, ranges from
seventy to one hundred feet in thickness,
which would yield a net ton or forty
bushels, of salt to every yard it contains,
or over three thousand millions of bush.
els! which, when manufactured, is worth
from forty to fifty cents per bushel.-
But, presuming it to be worth twenty
cents per bushel in the ground, and we
have six hundred millions of dollars to
which we must add two hundred and
fifty millions of tons of plaster within
the same space, worth in the ground
about oDe dollar per ton, making a total
of eight hundred and fifty millions of
dollars!
