The Reformers in Council.

The periodical nuisance, Reform Convention
has lately been in session in Buffalo. It is
headed by Mrs. Andrew jackson Davis and
her husband. Henry Wright and Parker
Pillsbury also fourished The Buffalo Com
n,crical says:
A large number of those present were ladies',
few sleek and well conditioned, but the ma
jority scraggy and shrewish in appearance. 1t
is curious that female reformers are generally
destitute of personal beauty. Under the gal
lery on the Eagle street side of the Hall is a
book stand and placards announce that reform
books are for sale. Some one Invariably has
mercenary motives to indulge at philanthropic
conventions. In short, ''reform" is made to
pay.
There were present number of those excel
lent persons who wear their hair long aud tuck
ed behind their ears, and ladies who evidently
pride themselves upon their intellectual dcvel-
opments shown in the effort to display at as
much advantage as possible their foreheads by
conlbing their hair back. But, after all nc
one, uniformed as to the character and objects
of these people, would take them for lunatics
In fact, no one does. Thus much is due them
A number of "Bloomers" are in attendance
in all the glory of unmentionables and ringlets
No one seems to pay them particular attention
and they look disconsolate. The man who
docs not wear hat, but does wear his hair anc
beard long, not to mention uniform of Ken
lucky jeans, is On hand. He is of the hairs
tocracy of the genus philantbro2ist. There
are undoubtedly some persons of real ability
present. but far the majority have some indef
mite idea that the ''time is out of joint" ant
that their mission is to set it right
The object of the convention is to haster
''The Era Of Justice and Liberty" Mrs. Davis
announced from the stand that ''in this con
vention mans voice all questions will b.
counted equal to woman SO CLcve. Herald

INDEPENDENCE, THE CHIEF VALUE OF
MONEY

The "Criterion," in review of our olives of
American Merchants" quotes the maxim of
PETER G. Brooks, one of the subjects of that
work, viz: s'THE WHOLE VALUE OF WEALTH
CONSISTS IN THE PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE
1T SECURES" "a maxim, says the &C Criterion"
that observes to be placed on every book in
which mercantile transactions are recorded. -
We find in one of our exchanges, an amusing
and singular illustration of the merchants max
i'm too good to be lost 1t is this:
GA man named Porter, says he, ouce had a
clerical friend between whom and himself there
existed great intimacy.
Every Saturday night, as Porter was sitting
balancing his cash, note would come, request
ing, "the loan of five dollar bill" The mon
ey was always returned punctually at eight
o'clock on the following Monday morning
But what puzzled the lender was, the parson
always returned the very identical note he bor-
rowed. Since he had discovered this fact, he
made private marks on the note; still the same
was handed back on Monday morning. One
Saturday evening Porter sent FIVE dollar gold
piece, instead cf note, and marked it. Still
the very same coin was returned on Monday.
Porter got nervous and bilious about it ; he
would awake his wife in the middle ofthe night,
and ask her what she thought of such strange
occurrence He was fast boiling over with GU
riosity, when note came from the reverend
borrower, one Christians eve, asking for the
loan of ten dollars. A brilliant thought struck
our friend. He put on his great coat, resolv-
ing to call and demand explanation of the
mystery.
When he was shown into his friends study,
he found him plunged in the profoundest mel
ancholy.
0Mr -- said our friend ssif Won will
answer me one question, will let you have ten
dollars. How does it happen that you always
repay me the money you borrow on Saturday
! night in the very same coin or note on Mon
| day"
The parson raised his head, and after vio-
lent struggle, as though he were about to un-
veil the boarded mystery cf his soul, said, in
| faltering tones
| "Porter, you are gentleman, scholar, O
| Christian, and New Yorker-I know l can
rely on your inviolablc secresy. Listen to the
secret of my eloquence. You know that I am
poor, and when have bought my Sunday dir
ner, seldom have a red cent left in my pock.
ct. Now l maintain that man can preach
the gospel and blo,o up his congregation prep
erly, scitliout he has something to inspire him
,uith confidence 1 have therefore borrowed
FIVE dollars of you every Saturday, that might
feel it occasionally as preached on Sunday
You know how independently l do preach
how 1 make the rich shake in their shoes
Well, it is all owing to my knowing that have
a five dollar bill in my pocket. Of course nev
er having to use it for any ether purpose, it il
not changed, but invariably returned tie you thu
next morning. Now, as Mr.. George Law il
coming to hear me preach tomorrow, though
1 would try the effect of a tcn-dollar- Sc;

soId bv a Free Negro.

We learn that the ':friends of freedom" in
Fairfield were badly sold by "shade'' who
visited that place about two weeks ago and
represented himself as fugitive on his way to
''ngger paradise" His story was readily cred
ited and the friends of "down trodden human
ity'' came quickly to his relief. About ten
dollars in money was raised to send him on his
way, and many were the articles of clothing
contributed with which to adorn his 'spussun."
A Justice of that village is said to have been
particularly jealous in aiding the ''panting fu-
gitive." He was no doubt fearful that word
would lie sent forward to the Deputy Marshal
in this village, by some ttslaveocrat" of that
town, to stop "Sambo" in his flight after free
dom and turn his ebony countenance once more
towards the "sunny south" So hs volunteered
to act as baggagelnan on the occasion, by ia
king the 'tcolo'd gemman's" satchel mile or
more out of town by circuitous route. Not
long after the "fugitive" left that station" it
was ascertaned that the "friends of freedom"
had been badly sold, the '.fugitive'' having
turned out to be an cor nary carpet sack mig :
ger on tramp from Mansfield! A white man
ain distress" would have had to told marvel
Gus yarn to make SO big raise out of the
ofrier ds of freedom" in that town. but let a
darkey appear and proclaim himself "fu-
gitive," and they are easily cooled. Normalk

Ea- In our youth we listen not to the voice
of reason, which would acquaint us that we are
constantly misled by false appearances. Ex-
perience comes at last, but too late to be ef
any service. Nature age as the proper time to
9euote ourseIues to the serious and useful studies
supplied By such enperie1ce; but asnhdppily
most of us arrive at that age aoith habits so
firmly rooted that much courage and consistency
are necessary for applying to these su65ecis.-
Thus the greater number persist in wasting this
precious period of life without reflection and
without forc-si ght.-Rachy.

These three men have passed away from
Garth, but many still live who had attained the
age of manhood, when this advertisement ap-
peared in the Kentucky Gazette. How sug-
gestive is this notice The marking of road,
and the liberal donations to settlers, all carry
the mind back irresistibly to the land of the
forest and the aboriginals, to the time when all
this country West of the Mountains, was a
dreary, unbroken wilderness.
The parties met pursuant to this notice, and
laid out a town, which they first called Losanti
vile, but subsequently Cincinnati. The course
of the Streets was marked on the trees. There
can be no doubt that this was the origin of
Cincinnati, and upon the ground then laid out,
by those adventurous spirits, is now located
the third city in the Union, with population
of 250, 900, the most extensive provision mark
ct in this or any other country, famous for the
skill and enterprise of her mechanics, the ex-
tent of her manufactures, and the wonderful
progress and magnitude of her commerce, now
reaching, probably, to hundred millions an.
