Character Better than Credit.

We often hear young mon, romarks n
cotemporary, who have small means, dos
fully contrasting their lot with that of rich
mems sons. Yet the longer We live, the
more wo are convinced that the old mcr-
chant was right, who said to us when we
began life, "industry, my lad, is better
than lgots of god, and character moro val
liable than credit" We could furnish, if
need be, from our experience, score of
illustrations 10 prove the truth of his re-
mark. In all branches of business, in all
avocations, character, in the long run, is
the best capital Says Poor Richards :
''The sound of your hammcr at five in the
morning, OF nine at night, heard by
creditor, makes him easier six months Ion.
ger; but if he secs you at a billiard table,
or hears your voice at n tavern, when you
should be at work, he sends for his money
tho next day."
What Is true Of the Young mechanic is
true also Of tho young merchant, or of the
young lawyer. Old and sagacious firms
will not long continue 10 give credit for
thousands of dollars when they sec tho
purchaser, if young man, driving fast
Clients will not entrust their cases to advo-
Gates, however brilliant, who frequent tho
card-table, the wine patty, or the race
course. 1t is better, in beginning life, to
secure reputation for industry and probi-
ty, than to own houses and lands, if with
them you have no character.
A facility for obtaining credit at the out
set is often an injury instead of benefit.
1t makes tho young beginner too venture
some, fills him with dreams of too early
fortune, tempts him too much to neglect
hard work, forethought, caution, economy.
Excessive capital is often snare to young
man. 1t has almot passed into proverb,
in consequence, that the sons rich men ncv-
er make good business mon. To succeed
IN lite we must learn the valve of money.
But superfluity Of means at the outset is
nearly certain method of rendering us
insonsible to its value. No man ever
grew rich who had not learned and prac-
tised the adage "if you take care of tho
pennies the dollars will take care Of them
selves" Knowledge of men, sclrdsci-
pline, thorough mastery Of our pursuits,
and other qualifications, which all persons
of experience look for, are necessary to
give the world security that young man
is Of the right metal. Capital may be
lost but character never. Credit once
gone, the man without character falls
But he who has earned reputation for ca
pacity, integrity, and economy, even if he
loses his capital, retains his credit, and ris-
es triumphant over bankruptcy itself. A
man with character can never be ruined.
1t is the first thing a man should seek to
secure; and it may bo had by every one
who desires it in earn est. A poor boy
with character is more fortunate by far than
a rich mans son without t. City Item.

From the Independent, July 22nd.
One year ago-n ringing voice.
A clear blue eye, T,
And clustering curls of sunny hair.
Too fair tn die.
Only year-no voice, no smile. .'-
No glance of eye,
No clustering curls Of golden hair,
Fair but to die.
One year ago-what loves, what schemes
Far into life
What Joyous hopes, what high resolves
What generous strife
The silent icture on the wall,
The burinI stone
or all that beauty, life and Joy,
Remain alone
One ycar-ono year--onc little year.
And so much gone
And yet the even flow of life
Moves calmly on.
The grave grows green, the flowers bloom fair
Above that head
No sorrowing tint Of leaf or spray
Says he is dead.
No pause or hush of merry birds
That sing above,
Tells us how coldly sleeps below
The form we love.
Where hast thou been this year, bcloved1
What hast thou scent
What visions fair, what glorious life,
Where thou hast beenl
IRE veil the veil so thin, so strongl
'Twixt us and thee;
The mystic veil when shall it foil
That we may see2
Not dead, not sleeping, not even gone;
But present still,
And waiting for the coming hour
or Gods sweet will.
Lord Of the living and the dead,
Our Saviour dear;
We lay in silence Mt thy fcet

Married In Fun.

The pleasant, sleepy town Of Auburn, New
York, is just at present, greatly exercised
over matrimonial case " which was a
little out of the ordinary line. A young
man and woman called upon one OF the
clergymen of the place, aud requested to be
united in the bonds They were both re-
specially connected, and well known to his
Reverence. Thinking the request rather
strange, he suggested whether they were not
joking, but they vowed by all the darts in
the quiver of cupid, that they were in earn
est. The gentleman, thus assured, perform
cd the delicate operation Of making them
"one and inseparable," his wife being wit
ness of the ceremony. The young couple
departed but Rumor, pertinacious hag that
she is, got wind of the affair, and spread it
over the town. The young scape-graces
finding storm brewing came out, and as
serted that they were married only IN .fuR
But the joke is likely to prove a serious
one. The knot that joins them for life has
been solemnly tied, at their own request,
and in presence of witness. Ii turns out
that the lady and gentleman were both en-
gagged to other parties who are mutually and
ireconcilably indignant at the performance

Arrest of rIurderers.

Some weeks ago We gave an account from
the Mt Vernon 1drocate of the murder of n
widow lady and her son named Marshal liv-
ing alone on a farm near Newburg, in CAL
latino county, Illinois. They were supposed
to have had $500 or $500 in their possess
ion, to possess which was the motive for the
foul deed. Soon after the murder, two young
men, living near, were arrested on suspi-
cion, but were finally discharged for
want of positive evidence TO ini-
plicate them. Afterwards no trace
of the murderers was discovered till a
few days since, suspicion fell upon fellow
named Stewart, who had been in Mrs. Mar
shals employment previous to the tragedy.
He was arrested and at first denied all
knowledge Of the crime, but fnally-upon
being urged by Judge Lynch--he made a
confession duplicating five orsx accessories,
among them the parties who had been pre-
viously arrested and discharged. lie said
they had obtained 1875, and after killing
the mother and son had set fire to the house.
The parties implicated by Stewart were
arrested, and one of them confirmed Stew
arts statement; the others protested their
innocence and two proved an abb. On the
second day of the examination, Stewart re-
tracted his charge against four of his al
legged accomplices, and the man named New
mum who had, the day previous, corroborat-
ed Stewards story, declared he knew moth
ing about the matter, and said his former
statement was extorted by fear that he
would be lynched. Stewart then changed
his story and said that himself Newnum,
and two men named Bingaman and Mcbride,
and two others living in Kentucky, were all
concerned in the murder, robbery, and arson.
On the trial Bingaman was discharged
Newnum and Stewart were sent to Jail at
Shawneetown. A company started out to
find Mcbride, and to arrest the two men inn
plicated, who resided in Kentucky. Stew
arts ard Newnum's prevarications have
destroyed all confidence in their charges
against others, but they have revealed
enough to lead, it is thought to their own
convictions. There is little doubt in public
opinion Of their being guilty Of the shock.

respondent Of the idpoeate says, that they
were saved from being lynched by the

nsrIt is a notifying fact tha. all GU,

I1. 1t is notifying fact that all our
mail facilities with the South American
States is through England, by whose lines Of
steamers her mails are transmitted along the
Eastern and Western coast of South Ameri-
ca and transmitted with regularity and des-
patch. If an American merchant orders a
cargo of coffee from Brazil, or Of hides from
BuenoS Ayres, or Guano from Chill or Peru,
he sends his letter 10 England to be thence
despatched. This is reproach to our en-
terprise. The excuse is, that official pilfering
keeps our national treasury so low that our
government cannot afford the maintenance
of similar lines for the extension of our CON-
mercc.
