How to Make Money.

Let the business of everybody else
alone, and attend to your own; do
not buy what you do not want; use
every hour to advantage, and study
to make even leisure hours useful;
think twice before You threw away a
sbilling-remember you will have
another to make for it; find recrea-
ton in looking after your business,
aud so your business will not be neg
lected IN looking after recreation;
buy low, sell fair, and take care OF
the profits; look over your books
regularly, and if you find an error,
trace il out; should a stroke of mis-
fortune come upon you in trade, re-
trench, work harder, "but never fly
the track confront difficulties with
unainchiug perseverance, and they
viii disappear at last; though you
should even fail in the struggle, you
will be honored; but shrink from the
task aud you will be desnsed. By
following these rules, however, you
never need say fall pay debts
promptly, and SO exact your dues
keep your word.

NICE SENSE OF MoBALs-The peo-
pie of Mount Liberty, Ohio, having
their moral sense shocked by the
conduct of a woman and her two
daughters. dragged them out of their
homes and tarred and fe4thered them.
In one Of the New York towns, q
few days ago, man and woman,
who had been violating one Of the
commandments, were stripped naked
and driven out OF the town. The
virtuous citizens Of these two moral
villages could be shocked by inde-
cencies, which, from the nature OF
the cases, must have been confined
to very limited range Of observa-
ton, but they could deliberately go
about making public exhibition
still more shocking to deceucy, and
in every way cowaIdly and unmanly.
1t is difficult to believe that the
people of any community could be
so lost to feelings of decency, as to
strip and tar and feather women how
ever degraded. The act is more
outrageous than the offence which in
duced 1.-THE justification worse than
the sin to be punished.

HBman Nature.

Deacon. D. was very much inter
ested in revival that was taking
place in bis neighborhood, and a,
a consequence, was continually urg
ing his neigl bors to "come over tC
the Lords side,'' as he expressed
it. He had frequently inportuned

not particularly noted for his atten-
dance at church, or for professions
of religion, but was, nevertheless,
highly respected by all who knew
him, to attend one Of their evening
meetings. Now, the piety and hon
esty of the Deacon was matter Of
doubt among his fellow townsmen,
and particularly so with the ole man
above mentioned, who, for couven-
lence, we may Call Uncle Josh.
After frequent calls, Uncle Josh
consented to accompany the Deacon
to one Of the meetings, and accor-
dinghy attended him 10 the 'red
school house" one evening, much to
the surprise Of all present. In the
course of the service, the Deacon
arose with penitential countenauce
to tell his experience. He was the
prince of sinners, be said. IF be

ed forever from divine favor. After
making himself out to be all that is

his duty, and asked Uncle Josh if be

some little reluctance he arose. amid

for Uncle Josh TO speak 10 meeting"
He said he had listened with great
interest TO the remarks OF the Deacon,
and be WIS happy to be able TO as
sure the brethren that from his long
acquaintance with him, he could full
ly endorse all The Deacon had said
concerning bis meanness and vileness,

Deacon was terrific. He spraug to

POSTAGE ON ELECTION RErURNs.--
The refusal of certain Virginia post
masters to send returns Of elections
to the Secretary of State, without
prepayment of postage. has led to a
correspondence with the Post Office
Department, and the offending post.
masters are directed to forward the
packages, charging the proper
amoant Of postage, but not to insist
upon the prepayment. This is a
precedent for the coming elections.

A QUEER SToRY.-We learned a
queer little bit of history lately. 4
few days since, a citizen In order to
prevent bis creditors from getting
his property, signed off some $50
600 in real estate to his step-sons.-
Step-sons had deeds recorded, and in
about three days had real estate con-
ver.ed into money, without step-fath.
er knowing anything OF the matter.
Having converted real estate into
money, step-sons started to the west,
leaving step-father to "grin and bear
it, as best he can. Step-fath8r
having put all his property out Of
his hands, now finds himself without
sufficient fnnds.to go in pursuit. Of
step-sons. 1t now looks as if step
sons bad sold step-father, and got
step-hther into tight place. Step
father begins TO think that be might
better have settled with bis credit

lie has reduced himself to Two shifts

"You stated some time ago, that

the construction Of fifty miles OF
the Southern Pacific Railroad at
Sl,500.000-au enormous price
$50, 600 per mile, when it should
not cost more than 90 or $4,000.
The DR.. makes nevertheless Si2.-
600 or $4,000 per mile clear profit.
He has himself a contract for the
construction Of this road to the

this contract for so miles is only q

CoRREcT SPEAKING. We advise
all Young people to acquire in early

both in speaking and in writing. and
to abandon, as early as possible, any
use of slang words and phrases. The
longer they live, the more dlflicnlt
the acquisition Of such language will
be; and if the golden age of youth
the proper season for the acquisition
of language, be passed in its abuse,

TO talk slang for life. Money is not
