BORROWING OUT OF DEBT.

One of the most perplexing, disagree
able, soul-harowing and mind distracting
methods Of getting out of debt is Dor
rowing ones self out. Thus: A. owes
B. ten dollars, the payment of which he
has promised his sword and honor" to
make on Saturday night; Saturday morn
ing arrives, no money, no immediate pros
pect of getting any; Saturday noon,
prospects still dubious; Saturday after
noon o'clock, matters look desperate,
but something must be done, it won't do
to disappoint; saunters out to try the for
tune Of borrowing-trayels three miles to
neighbor c.; he has ten dollars, but has
immediate use for it; can't loan it under
any consideration; passes on one mile
further, and finds neighbor d. has five
dollars only, and is sorry not TO be able
to accommodates; passes onward two miles
further to neighbor E.; he has ten dol
lars but wants to use it on Monday "A.
to obtain the loan, promises its return
faithfully at that time, with ten dollars in
his pocket and weary with his twelve
miles travel, he places the ten dollars in
the hands of b. But no sooner is that
burden off his hands, than he is afflicted
with another and more grievouS one, for
his mind is weighed down with the tho't,
where is the money to come from 10 pay
neighbor e. on Monday9 The Sabbath
passes-solicitude and anxiety being the
predominant features in his mind, for he
must again commence with the dawn of
the next morning, to ''borrow himself out
of debt" Breakfast is cheerlessly dis
patched; he now mounts his favorite po-
ny and saunters out. Skinfint has the
money but does not loan except on short
time and ample security. He, however,
after a considerable parley effects loan
of ten dollars by leaving his horse in
pawn, till the next Wednesday; returning
on foot, he returns the ten dollars to his
neighbor E. But the matter is by no
means yet off his hands. Ten dollars
must be raised again to redeem his favor
lite charger, or he must lose him, and the
next two days are spent in effecting a
loan for that purpose. This is but very
imperfect sketch of what transpires daily
with thousands who are trying to "bor-
row themselves out of debt" though on a
more extended SCALE 1t is most mis-
taken policy and ruinous way of doing
business. Far better do less, and on the
ready pay system, than to spend time,
and the noblest energies of mind and
body in the Improbable and unthankful
business of getting into debt and then
trying TO borrow ones self out.

IMPROVEMENTS IN MUsKEGoN.-We
are pleased to notice that many great i'm
provements have recently been and arc
now being made in our village. Several
buildings are i'll process of erection, while
many Others are being remodeled, repaint.
ed, or otherwise improved. Under the
supervision of our efficient street Com.
missioners, some of our streets are being
graded, and, in places, planked. Low
and wet places are being filled up, and
pools Of stagnant water becoming "beau-
tifully less"
We must not forget TO mention the
new and tasteful fence which now encloses
the Methodist Church grounds, and which
adds greatly TO the appearance of the
place. a good side walk has also been
recently built in front of the church
Many of our citizens, also, have lately
built very neat fences around their lots,
and substantial side walks in front OF
their residences. Verify, Muskegon is q
progressive village, and these are signs
which indicate its prosperity, as well as
the enterprise and good taste of its in
habitants.

by bis countrymen. His last employ
ment up TO the period when he engages
in the present war, was the capacity Of
Captain Of a Genoese steamer.
He now has command of a select corps
of troops by himself selected, and COM
posed in a great part, of young men be-
longing to the wealthiest and most hon.
orable families Of Naples, Bologna, Mo
dena, Parma, and particularly of Milan,
their title is Chasseurs DIES Alpes. They
consist of two fine regiments of two thou
sand men each, and squadron of guides
who serve as staff and make reconnoi-
sanses. The latter are almost universally
mounted at their own expense, and the
terrible onslaughts which Garibaldi con-
tinually makes upon the Austrian troops
from his places Of rendezvous in the slopes
of the Alps, show him to be one of the
greatest and most effective Generals Of
the age, and a very dare devil in the ex-
ecution of feats of peculiar danger
The entire Austrian army tremble at the
mere mention of Garibaldi and his cho-
sen Chasseurs, as well they may.
