"Oh, what has happened, Harry ?''
"I don't know" he answered. Ct
am bewildered. Something has gone
wrong in business. Oh, Florry, l have
passed through fearful day and
there is no strength left in me-
What change from the bold, bust
ness braggart of the day before! But
Harry Melville was mere dandy in
trade. There was no muscle in the
man, no reserved power, no elasticprop-
erty. He had grown as a balloon
grows, and, like balloon, collapsed at
the first sharp puncture.
What could mere summer-blossom
of wife do to help a man in such an
extremity Nothing. She could
weep and wiring her hands, and sob
like distressed damsel; but she had
no comfortable suggestions, no brave
words, no hopeful sentiment to offer.
Did our young trader, after period
of cool reflection, take heart again !?
Did he go out on the next morning,
and nerve himself for another strug-
gle with the difficulties which had so
suddenly closed around him? No
Busy memory, through the remainder
of that day and evening, supplied him
with data enough to complete his total
overthrow as man of nerve and ac-
ton. His boyish partner came to see
him, and tried to re-inspirit him with
brave words. But they were of no
avail. He was panic stricken by the
fearful aspect of things, and gave up
without struggle.
On the next day the bills of the firm
were not met An assignment followed
and, at the settlement of affairs, the
creditors received dividend of twen-
ty cents on the dollar.
Just twenty-thrce years of age was
Harry Melville when he shrunk back
from his advanced position in the bus
mess and social world, a bankrupt,
his name word of reproach or con-
tempt on hundreds of lips, and sought
hiding-place with his helpless wife in
the house of his father, whose predic-
tions had been but too speedily full
filed. His bark was shattered by the
first storm.
Take the lesson to heart, We too
eager younger men. The story is
scarcely an exaggeration. Old Mr..
Melville was entirely right in his coun-
sci to his son. A business commenced
at twenty-one, or even as early as
twenty-five, without experience, is al
most certain to result in failure. The
first thing young man who hopes to
succeed in the world needs to learn is
economy in his personal expenditure.
If, as clerk or shop-man, he spends
his entire earnings. and trusts to get
into business by virtue of credit, the
chances of failure are two to one
against him. His habits of mind vii
tempt him to almost certain destruc
ton.

The Paris .HORiteur of the 10th inst,
contains the following defence of the Peace
Treaty by Napoleon. Yesterday evening
the Emperor received the great bodies of the
State, the Presidents of which, NJ. Frohling,
Count de MOrney and NJ. Erocher, addressed
congratulatory speeches TO his majesty.
The Emperor thanked them for their devo-
ton, and then explained the reasons of his
conduct during the great events; he said
after he arrived beneath the walls Of Verona,
the struggle was inevitably about to change
in its nature, as well in military as in its
political aspect; he would have been obliged
TO attack the enemy in front, who was in
irenched behind great fortresSes and pro-
tected on his flank by the neutrality of the
surrounding territory, and it was about to
De the beginning of a long and barren war;

arms, ready to dispute our successes or ag-
gravate our reverses; nevertheless, the Diff
Guilty of the enterprise would not have
shaken my resolution, if the men had not
been out Of proportion to the results TO be
expected. 1t was necessary TO crush bodily
the obstacles opposed; then, to accept q con-

it was necessary to fortify ourselves openly

reign should only stake for the independence

felt great reluctance to dampen the ardor
OF our soldiers by retreating from my pro-
gramme, and to see vanished from honest
hearts noble decisions and patriotic hopes.
In order to secure the independence of Italy,
l made war againstthc mind OF Europe, and
as soon as the destiny of my own country
might be endangered, made peace on eff
forts and on sacrifices. Have they been
merely losses? We have right to be
proud of this campaign. We have van
pushed an army numerous, brave and well
organized. Piedmont has been delivered
from invasion. Her frontiers have been
extended to the Mincio. The idea of an
Italian nationality has been admitted by
those Who combatted it NEST. All the Sove-
reigns of the Peninsula now comprehend the
merit of SOLITARY reforms Thus, after hav-
ing new proof of the military power of
France, the peace concluded will be prolific
of happy results. The future will every
day reveal additional cause for the happiness
of Italy, the influence OF France and the
tranquility of Europe. @ es

The States mentions the reception OF i'm
portant private dispatches from Northern
Mexico. IL was expected that within 90
days 5000 American troops win be organic
cd on the Rio Grande, properly armed and
equipped for the purpose of marching on
the City of Mexico, and exterminating the
whole Miramon faction. &C. G.
Private advices from Tusson, dated July
10, mention hostile meeting between
Lieut.. Mowry and Edward Z. Cross, editor
of the Arizoaidn. Four shots were ex-
changed without effect At the last fire,
Lieut.. Mowry's rife missed fire. TWAS de-
cided that he was entitled to his shot, and
Mr.. Cross stood without arms to receive it.
Lieut.. Maury refused to fire on an unarmed
man, and discharged his rifle in the air.
Mutual explanations followed; both parties
declared themselves satisfied, and the Diff
Guilty was adjusted.
The Opata Indians were committing great
ravages in northern Sonora, shooting the
men and ravishing the women. The troops
seem afraid to attack them. 4
An American citizen was in Jail ut Mag
daleria for no offence, and fears were enter
tanned that he would be murdered. 1t Is
utterly impossible for an American to travel
now in Sonora without being massacred OF
robbed. Lieut.. Mowry will have no oppo-
sitiOn to Congress.
1t is the intention of the Government to
establish posts on the frontiers of the APP

aA. We see that our friend Schoenlaub,
at MitchelIs, is sending off his threshing
machines quite often. These machines are
small, and many Of our largest farmers can
afford to buy one and keep it for their own
use, and thresh their wheat at their conven-
fence. The threshers are decidedly handy,
and We do not wonder they sell rapidly
We notice, however, that there is still a few
more of them on hand, which win be sold

The Revolutionary Element I'm the
-I-.-ae l.lf e-~ Late War. lsrE

Ime ftevOiuttOm0ry Element III the
The part which the revolutionary element
has played in the war has been a telling
one. Italy has everywhere poured out her
youth for the battle field, and they have
been slaughtered by thousands. The Italian
National Committee has labored heartily
and successfully: Garibaldi has proved
himself one of the right arms of the liberat-
ing Briareus, and fully sustained the posi-
ton he took when upbraided for entering a
service where Louis Napoleon was supreme
II look upon him." said he, N, a means
which Divine Providence has created for
the liberation of Italy, and as such | avail
myself of him" The Hungarians have
played no less important part. Count
Bethlen was placed on Louis Napoleon S
staff, Count Kiss accompanied Prince Napo-
leon TO Tuscany, Klapka began 10 organize
the Hungarian legion at Genoa, and Kos
suth went to Parma, where he played the
king and fool with guards and royal para
phernalia, just as lac did when he first came
TO New York. sfs. mao -.ss-sr.
The fidelity of the Hungarian regiments
in the Austrian army was shaken, and Hun
gary itself was flooded with revolutionary
proclamations This diminished the dispo-
sable forces of Austria for the campain, by
rendering the presence of large army nee
essary in Hungary, just as the placing by
Russia Of acorps of observation on the from
tier of Gallicia rendered another Austrian
army necessary there.
Thus has the revolutionary element con-
tributed TO the recent result of the campaign
in Italy. The question now is; Will II he
satisfied with what has been achieved We
think that for the present. it will. ia
