INDUSTRY AND ECoNOMY.-Thcrc IS no art
or science that is too difficult for industry to
attain to. 1t is the gift of tongues, and
makes man understood and valued in all
countries and by all nations. 1t is the phi
losopher's stone, that turns all metals, even
stones, into gold, and suffers no want to break
into it's dwelling. 1t is the northwest pas.
sage, that brings the merchants ships as
soon to Inn as he can desire. In word, it
conoucrs all enemies, and makes fortune itself
pay contribution.
No man is rich whose expenditure exceeds
his means; and no one is poor whose in
coming exceed his outgoings. 1t is no small
commentator to managea little well. He
is good wagner that can turn in little
room. To live well in abundance is the
praise of the estate, not of the person. 1t will
study more how to give a good account of my
little than how to make it more. Let hon
esty and industry be thy constant companions,
and spend one penny less than thy clear
gains: then shall thy hide-bound pockets soon
begin to thrive, and will never again CRY
with hunger; neither will creditors insult
thee. The whole hemisphere will shine more
bright, and pleasure spring up in every cor
ner of thy heart. Now, therefore, embrace
these rules, and be happy. Danish the bleak
winds of sorrow from thy mind, and live in
dependent Then shalt thou be a man, and
not hide thy face at the approach of the rich,
nor suffer the pain Of feeling little when the
sons of fortune walk at thy right hand for
ndependency, whether with little or much,
s good fortune and places thee on even
ground with the proudest of the golden
fleece. Oh, then, be wise and let industry
walk with thee in morning. and attend thee
until thou rcachcst the evening hour for rest.
Let honesty be as the breath of thy soul,
and never forget to have penny, when all
thy expenses are enumerated and paid !;
then shall thy soul walk upright, nor stoop
to the slken wretch because he has riches,
nor pocket an abuse because the hand which
offers it wears ling set with diamonds.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1858-06-19

VINO NOMINATED WAsHINGToN.-A writer
in the National Inteligencer says that Wash
ington Irving, in his Life of Washington,
page 453, vol claims for johnson, dele
gate from Maryland IN the Continental Con.
gress, the honor of having nominated Wash
ngton for the position of COMMANDMENTS
Chief. The election was by ballot, and was
unanimous. Bancroft, in his last volume.
page 1893, says: " Thomas, of Maryland
nominated George Washington, and as he
had been brought forward at the particular
request o! the people in New England, he was
elected by ballot unanimously.
BY a Typographical. oversight the name of
Johnson was omitted after the Christian
name, Thomas, in Mr.. Bancroft's work. 1t
should have read Thomas johnson, of
Maryland" John Adams, claimed the credit
Of first suggesting the name of George WASH
inston, (I.ife and works, vol 2, page 4l5,)
but also anites in the assertion Up. 4l2) that
Mr.. Johnson, who was afterwards Governor
of Maryland, made the nomination.

A POLITE Boy. The other day we were
riding in crowded car. At one of The sta.
tons an old gentleman entered, and was look
ing around him for seat, wher lad ten or
twelve years of age rose up and said. Fake
my seat, sir The offer was accepted, and
the nfrm old man sat down. why did you
give me your seat 2 he inquired Of the boy.
Because you are old sir, and am boy,
was the quick reply. The passengers were
very much pleased and gratiied. For my
part, wanted to seize hold of the little fel-
low and press him to my bosom. 1t was a
respect for age, which is always praise.
worthy.
