6rGood men never make anything by
treating rascals as equals. A conscious
villain who 10 treated as an equal BY al
honest man who is conscious of his villainy
recognizes the man at once as coward
and treats him accordingly. Treated as an
inferior, a bad man becomes polite at once
or plays de6antly the bully and the black
guard that he is. We may 60 the world
over without finding any man who, in his
own soul, knows his place so we'll a. a very
bad man; and there is no way Of securing
his respec, so easily as BY giving him te

good opinion of the late Mr.. Choate, now SO
common. Hs.says in The L,berator:
"As p6blie speaker. we have seldom
listened to one of any reputation for elo.
quence with less satisfaction. Whether at
the bar or on The platform, he was profes.
sional Zousye. His gesiiculatious were q
combination of tragedy, comedy and farce,
his speeches distinguished for labyiinihian
verbositz, beyond all power of extrication
A more vicious style is not TO be found in
English history-irAsted, disjointed, Anshy
sophomosieal, double-snd-twisted, helter'
skelter, ard whatever characterized the
"spread.eagle" school. ln this respect, the
difference between himself and Mr.. Webstel
was almost Infinite. How clear, forcible,
terse, wee every sentence uttered or record
ed BY the latter! How like awili-o'-th'-wisp
was the former, whether with pen or tongue!
Granted that he was remarkable for his
literary, scholastic and legal attainments--
for his copiousnsss Of speech, exubersnce Of
Imagination, and power of psrsuasion-there
is nothing to quote. nothing to remember,
in any Of his oratorieal efforts, because Of
endless circumlocution and metaphysical
cloudinesa."

Meeting Of the Emperor and EN-

The Paris correspondent ot Inc ". AorA
Herald, under date Of July 2lst, says:
The victor Of Solferino is once more under
the shs1ow Of his imperial palace. Napo-
leon I'll. reached ST. Cloud yesterday morn
ing At ten O'Clock. His Empress laid down
her regents sceptre, and, like simple,
true harted, sffsc,iona,e wife, was standing
with her little child At the gate Of the park,
to welcome ber husband from the wars.
The meeting Of the Emperor and Empress
wss fu'l OF tenderness. Her Majesty threw
berself into his arms, and Napoleon kissed
her sgain AMI again; then turning - the lit
tie Prince Imperial, clothed in picturesque
representation of the uniform Of the Guard,
and who laud poss,tus eqais, had wandered
up by the side Of his imperial mother, the
Emperor caught him up and embraced him
a. only father does embrace his child. =
The little fellow twined his arms around his
sir's neck. and seemed never tired Of return
ing the kisses he received.

goods, &C.; "out," says a correspondent,
"the doctor has. By no means, efficiently
enlightened US concerning the various and
many meanings of this significant word
Stuff is the wood with which 4 carpenter
makes chairs and tables; it is the clay with
which bricks are make; it is, in fact, the
something with which anybody makes any
thing. Many examples might bs adduced
of the application Of the word. For in.
stance, 4 lady goes into drsper's shop to
get stuff dress, she looks, perhaps. at same
linen. and exclaims, % what coarse stuff"
She goes to a erocer's, snd declares that the
last tea was such stuff that she could not
drink it; the sugar, too, was poor stuff for
Sd. But the word stuff applies to more and
different meanings than goods; for exam
pie person goes to hear q lecture, and
comes home saying, What stuff that man
has been talking sbout! A pert eoqustte

you :alkr A man wonders how his son got
that stuff into his head. There is good and
bad stuff. Children consider lollypops good

is described as being built of good sound
stuff; guano is capital stuff for sgriculturs
purposes; a person tells smother that he hal
got come very good stuff to feed cansries
and receives for reply that he never likei

Four Bank Clerks

i,r't time thsy had ever rafied for chances.

come now almost nightly amusement; but
"only for the sake Of little amusement"
they said.
The blank clerks were generally losers,
and hundred dollars or 20 lost night was
scarcely thought OF. Were their salaries
large enough to support such lossesf Hith.
erto they had been young men of unblem-
ished reputation, and for aught friends and
employers knew, stood as fair as ever; but
alas, hidden canker had bagun to gnaw
at the very vitals of their character. Gam
bling had begun its fatal work. They loat
lost often--lost heavily. Where did the
money come from 10 pay their losses! One
said he had drawn prize in lottery; an
other told OF receiving legacy from dead
relative; snother-but il 10 no matter how
they accounted for their money-they all
lied. And we shall pretty soon see wher 9
the money did come from.
One evening one Of the bank clerks was
not in his accustomed seat. "Wonder what

lost large sums the night before, and they
expected, in hopes of better luck. he would
be early on band to retrive his fortunes
The game tagged. At length q loud noise

ETThere is an old proverb said to exist
in almost all the European nations, and to
have great antiquity:
"If by accident any man or woman stride
over an infant, he shall never grow more,
unless the same party stride back again and
return the leg over it"
Shakespeare evidently avsiled himself of
this credence for beautiful illustration a.
in that passage of Julius Cesar where Cas-
sius stirs up the hesitating Brutus TO the
murder of his benefactor:
"c.s.-Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow
world
Like colossus; and We pretty men
Walk under bis hinge lees and peep abou;
