The Thugs Of India.

This singular association of robbers and
mnrderers has only of late years attracted at
tention in India, and no combined measures
were taken to put down the system until about
1880. Since that time il has been fully detect
ed, and greatly checked, chiefly through the
admission of approvers from all the gangs.
Captain Meadows Taylor informs US that, be-
tween 1881 and 1887, 3,269 Thugs were bro't
to justice, Of whom 412 were hanged, 1,O95
transported, and 4s3 turned approvers. Its
origin is unknown, and both Mahommedans
and Hindoos belong to the society indifferent
ly, although its tutelar goddess belongs to the
latter faith. The Thugs are peculiarly super
tina, they seldom destroy women, except for
their own safety; and they have very seldom
ventured 10 attack Englishmen. They usual
ly move in large gangs, and attach themselves
TO travelling parties they will journey with
them for whole days, to find an opportunity at
last to master them. When all is ready, one
division of the murderers strangles their VIC
tins, while another body prepares their graves;
and by means of this divis on of labor. the
fearful work is accomplished with wonderful
CELEBRITY. 1t appears that numbers of Thugs
resided together in villages, where they were
protected by reiahs, to whom they paid trib-
ute. The destruction of life occasioned by
them was immense. One Thug admitted, as
an approver at Saugor, having confessed to
Col. Taylor, who Goes not seem to suspect
him Of exaggeration, that he had been concern
ed in the murder of l7l9 persons The exis-
tence Of so strange and mons:rons a system
can only be explained by the condition OF In
dia, the extreme timidity and apathy of its in
habitants, and their division into castes the
number Of small native governments !; the habit
of dwelling in villages, divided by extensive
uninhabited tracts the quantity Of travelling
that takes place in that extensive commercial
country, without navigable rivers or secure
conveyances, and the murderous spirit of Hin
doc fanaticism.

COvetOusness.

Covetousness pretends to heap much togeth-
er for fear of want and yet after all his pains
and purchases, he suffers that really which at
first he feared vainly, and by not using what
he gets, he makes that suffering to be actually
present, and necessary, which in his lowest,
condition was but future, contingent, and pos
sible. II stlrs up the desire, and takes away
the pleasure Of being satisfied. 1t increases
the appetite, and will not content it. It swells
the principle to no purpose, and lessons the
use to all purpose disturbing the order of na-
ture, and the designs Of God making money
not TO be the instrument Of excha ange or chari-
ty, nor corn to feed himself or the poor, nor
wool to clothe himself or his brother, nor wine
to refresh the sadness of the afflicted, nor his
oil to make his own countenance cheerful but
all these to look upon, and to tell over, and to
take accounts by, and make himself consider
able and wondered at by fools, that while he
lives he may be called rich, and when he dies
he may be accounted miserable, and, like the
dish makers of China, may leave greater
heap Of dirt for his nephews, while he himself
hath new lot fallen to him in the portion of
Dives. But thus the ass carried wood and
sweet herbs to the baths, but vas never wash
ed or perfumed himself; he heaped up sweets
for others, while himself was filthy with smoke
and ashes.-( Jeremy Taylor.

The Farmer.

What sovereign man is the intelligent, in
dustrious farmer Within his own realm of
Earth. he wields sceptre to which all must
bend. The balance Of the worlds life and
comfort he holds in his stalwart hand. Neith-
er courts, nor camps, hor armies, nor fleets,
can exist without his aid. He is the feeder
aye, and the garmenter, virtually-of the race.
Cities spring from the traffic in the pred ,cts
Of his industry. Commerce is born at his be-
hest OF the State he is the "first Estats."-
Lord Of the land, Eo man has fi-mer hold OF the
essential title of nobility. And he needs bs
no plodder because he is a farmer. The dav
is past when the soil tiller was confounded
with the sod turned by his plow. The soil is
his servitor he snites it, and 10 /! the harvest
comes forth. The hoe and the sickle make
him music Drawer than dulcimers, and sound
the march Of triumph, grand as it is peaceful
and blessed. But he is not forever in the fur
row. For him are the broadest fields Of study
-fairest fields Of delight. For him are hon.
ors linked to beauties and VISIONS; for him,
periods of communion and rr~ture, of which
the birds, the flowers, the 81 ls, the stars,
and all wondrous things of the universe may
bear witness. r..- ...

IS L.OaGng.o

Whether this word be of American or Greek
origin, it is the name of bad habit. If yod
have an enemy, and wish TO iniure him with
out the appearance Of maliciousness, loaf
about his premise. in good nattired, friendly
way. fyou are intimate with him, and dare
venture to loaf in his shop, so much the better.
But if you are not impudent enough for that,
you may, if he has place of business, do him
good deal of mischief, by loating on the side
walk in front of his shop; and especially by
getting gang Of companions to stana there
with you.
The effect of loahrg in his shop may also
be inc. leased by taking companions with you.
We were acquainted, some twenty-five or thir-
ty years ago, with two men, who were actu-
ally kept in state of comparative poverty, all
their lives long, by the fact of their places Of
business becoming places of public Ioungir :.
One was grocer, but his shop become the
place of assembly of dozen or twenty poliii-
clans, who formed such habit Of dropping in
to talk over tue news, that there was seldom a
time when you might not find three or four Of
them there. Modest people did not like to 60
into such crowd to make their little purehAs-
es Of tea and sugar; customers fell of, and f.
nally the poor grocer was forced to yield the
field to new competitors, who kept no better
assortment Of goods, but who kept fewer
chairs for the accommodation Of loungers.

When it become morally certain that you

in the presence Of half dozen loungers, who
would remark upon you the moment you left
the shop, modest men began to shave them.

cutting Of the children's hair, and the En-
peror's tribute money was seriously dimin-

II you wish to injure your enemy in quiet
way, loaf day after day in h,s place of busi-
ness. To be sure it is mode that will re-
quire large expenditure of your time, but if
you really wish to ihiure another man, the
probability is, that neither you nor your time
are OF mucl real Value. ,#s@EE

who was constantly 'aborine to procure the
necessaries of life, thus quantity portrays her
character:
"Thus she lived, poor, patient. aud resign

within it the crown Of thorns and the cross Of

DR.. A. T. Hellberg discovered that he was
short $1,000 in Harbor money. The money
had, as he supposed, been aostracted from bis
desk, and his suspicious fell upon his clerk, a
very worthy Young man, who had hitherto
stood high in the estimation Of the Doctor
The clerk denied having taken the money, but
the Doctor had him arrested and kept in GUS
tody all night. This morning the missing
money was found by the Doctor in his letter
press. where he had himself placed It the day
before but which event he had forgotten. The
wrongfully suspected clerk was Immediately
sent for, and the Doctor offered to make 10 him
every reparation in his power. The mistake
was al unfortunate one, but oil parties con-
