How TO PROSPER IN BUSINESS In the
first place, make up your mind to accomplish
whatever you undertake; decide upon some
particular employment and persevere in it
All difficulties are overcome by diligence and
assduity.
BE not afraid to work with your own
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 ill stirred and worse boiled"
BE frugal ''That which will not make a
pot will make pot-d'
Be abstemious. "Who dainties love shall
beggars prove"
Rise early. "The sleeping fox catches no
poultry"
Treat every one with respect and ciyiity.
Everything is gained and nothing lost by
ciyility. Good manners ensure success"
Never anticipate wealth from any other
source than labor. "He who waits for dead
mems shoes may have TO 60 for a long time
barefoot" Heaven helps those who help
themselves
If you implicitly follow these precepts
nothing will hinder you from accumulating-

A Fiddletown Old Democrat Speaks
FIDDLErowN. Nav 25th. 1858.

FIDDLETowN, May 25th, 1858.
To The Editors Of the Leager:-I want
you to let Old Democrat of Fiddletown ex-
press his approval Of what ian Old Demo
craft of Drytown said in his letter to you
last week, and what you have been saying
yourselyo sever since the Douglas Buchanan
question arose. If could write as we'll as |
can flourish the pick, or even as well as | can
think, | would then ask the privilege of ex-
pressing my sentiments in full; but | must
just content myself by assuring you that the
Democracy Of this section, whether they fa-
yor Douglas or Buchanan upon the issue
about which the Black Republicans are ma
king such bluster, will to q man favor per-
feet harmony and good-fellowship in the
coming or present campaign, and for all time.
The harpings of such hypocrtical enemies of
Democracy as the Amador Sentinel, (pre-
tending friendship for the party and the good
old cause, will not affect the Democratic
people; they are too old to be caught by
chaf. The Democracy will not split; and the
Republicans, No-Party men, &c, will not
have good thing. Mark that.
Please publish and oblige a cabin full Of
Democrats LONG TOM.

DvIsIBILITY.- This is property possess

to be separated into parts
1t was formerly question among phios-
ophers whether matter was capable of being
divided ad infaitam, or whether there was a
limit beyond which matter could not be di-
vided. The question is incapable Of direct
solution, and, fortunately, science does not
require that it should be known; but the ex-
tent to which subdivision has been carried in
the arts is prodgious In the gliding of but
tons, five grains of gold, which is applied as
an amalgam with mercury, is allowed to the
gross; so that the coating left must not be
more than the ll0, ,000th part of an inch in
thickness.
A single grain Of blue vitriol will give an
azure tint to five gallons of water In this
case the copper must be attenuated ten mill

/ grain of musk has been known to scent a
room for twenty years.
Animal matter likewise exhibits many in
