How TO PROSPER IN BUSINESS
In the first place, make up your
mind TO accomplish whatever you
undertake; decide upon some par
ticular employment and persevere
in it. All difficulties are overcome
by diligence and assiduity.
Be not afraid to work with your
hands, and diligently too. A cat in
gloves catches no mice.
Attend to your own business, and
never trust it to another. A pot that
belongs to many is i'll stirred and
worse boiled.
Be frugal. Tha! which will not
make pot will make pot-lid.
Be abstemious. Who dainties love
will beggars prove.
Rise early. The sleeping fox
catches no poultry.
Treat every one with respect and
civility. Everything is gained and
nothing lost by civility. Good man
ners ensure success.
Never anticipate wealth from any
other source than labor. He who
waits for mems shoes may have to
60 for long time barefoot. Heav-
en- helps those who help themselves.
If you implicitly follow these
precepts, nothing will hinder you
from accumulating wealth.

The following scene took place in ths

uNFOKTUNATE RENCONTRE,

A difficulty occurred on the 9th ult.. at public
meeting in Brunswick, Glynn county, Ga between
j. w. Moore Esq, the representative to the LeGisla-
ture and Col. Carey w. Styles. The meeting was
called by Mr.. Styles who was the conservative can.
ddate for Mayor, and who announced that
he would discuss linen and measures The
meeting was crowded one, and in the course OF ms
remarks Mr.. Styles denounced the Academy Bill,
which, Il seems, Mr.. Moore had supported in the
Legissture-as "a system of con6scaton and spoils-
tion" applying to It the term "dishonorable," and
other epthsts of that character. The correspondent
of the Savannah Republican" who was present, and
whose statements, that paper says, may be relied
upon, says:
At this stage Of the speech, Mr.. Moore interrupted
the speaker by rising, with his hand 10 bis vest and
saving, "If YOU say that have done anything dis.
honorable, il is falsehood" Whereupon Mr. Styles,
having ceased turned 10 the direction Of MIR. Moore,
hurled back the fasehood in stronger language and
placed his hand upon bis pistol Mr.. Moore retorted,
and drew pistol. The next moment both gentle
med levelled their pistols and fred without effect.
Then commenced scene Of confusion, which it
would be impossible to describe bat which you may
imagine when you learn the fact that many persons
we're sitting between the combatants.
The firing continued between the gentlemen above
mentioned and others, until elk or seven shots were
discharged, our yorthy Mayor, James Houston being
one of the persons whe fred at Mr.. Styles.
All at once, Mr.. Moore was heard to utter groans
and cries of distress. The lights were struck out,
and the writer made all haste to leave with the most
of the crowd.
Mr.. Moore was discovered to be shot in the aldo.
men, and died in about an hour afterwards.
The next morning Mr.. Styles surrendered himself
to the Sheriff. and awaits his examination before
