How to Prosper in Business

In the first place, make up your mind
to accomplish whatever your undertakes:
decide upon come particular employment
and persevere in it. All difficulties arc
overcome by diligence and assiduity.
Be not afraid 10 work with your own
hands, and diligently, too. "a cat in
gloves catches no mice.
Attend to ycur own business and never
trust it to another. "a pot that belongs
10 many is i'll stirred and worse boiled. I"
Be frugal. That which will not make
a pot, will make pot-lid." "
Be abstemious. "who danties love
shall beggars prove. "
Rise early. 1.-The sleeping fox catches
no poultry"
treat every one with respect and civil
:ty. Everything is gained and nothing
lost by civility. Good manners ensure
success.
Never anticipate wealth from any 9TH
er source than labor. "He who waits for
dead mems shoes may have to go for a
long time barefoot" Heaven helps those
who help themselves.
II YOU implicitly follow these precePts'
nothing will hinder you from acsumrla',.
ing wealth.

ard goodnoss in tina material world. with
conceptions of a stupondous machine which
tho Almighty wisdom has designed, and
which Almighty power keeps continually in
operation us this wondrous, bo noGcent,
magnificent svstcm of exchange between
tho land and tho sea, carried on through tho
pipes of the atmosphere, and veins that cross
tho azure floor o! heaven; this mighty
wheel that turns this way and that, and
keeps tho pulse OF orcry living thing in mo-
ton ~ great waste" is the cxpause of wa
tor that chafes tho "vexcd Bermoothes," or
swimming under tropic sky:
But far inland tho great hoart of the con-
tinent pants for its blessing, and stately
forests sigh for it through all its leaves; and
tomorrow this outlying element shat quiv-
cred like molten load or dashed in teathory
foam, has decondod on tho lawns of En-.
gland, tho vineyards Of tho Rhine. and the
whoat fields of the west. 1t has touched
with tender GOODNESS the wide prairie, aud
it opens It's lids, more inmumera5lo than the
owes of heaven. Tho humble plant lifts up
its grateful hoad, as though il felt Gods caro-
for il, and the orchard and tho garden
breathe rich insonce of thanksgiving whero
ii has passed along. The little brook bab-
blcs with joy over its now-iiled cup; Mis-
sissippi and Orinoco, back among hor hidden
springs. send up their voices in exultation.
But tho vast wheel keeps turning, and, as
it were, tomorrow again, the moisture that
trcklod from tho rock or dangled like u
thread of diamonds in tho grass, is surging
in that mighty pulse, tho Gulf Stream, scoif-
ing atthe Orkneys, or sparkling in a wake

Power of Example.

The ancient Romans were accustomed
TO place the busts of their distinguished
ancestors in the vestbues of their houses,
that they might be continually reminded
of their noble deeds. They supposed
that recollection of their ilustrious vir-
tues would lead TO an imitation of the same
by all the living members of their house
hold. There is no doubt that the influ-
ence OF this practice was most happy upon
the living, awakening in many breasts
high and noble aspirations. At any rate
history records the names Of many re-
nowned Romans who descended from the
families where this custom was observed.
The young grew up TO reverence the wor-
thles whose statues they daily saw, and
to emulate the virtues which gave THEN
ancestors such lasting fame. We can ed.
silly conceive how the sight of these ina
ges as the young men went out and come
in, day after day, week after week, would
impress their hearts for good. The i'm
preston OF single day therefrom, though
very small in itself, yet olt-repcated,
| could not fai. to keep.
In these days we have no busts OF hon
ored ancestors in the porches Of our dwell
lings, but we have something more i'm
prcSsive. The characters Of living parents
are constantly presented for the imitation
Of children. Their example is continually
sending forth silent power 10 mould
young hearts for good or i'll, not for sin
gle month or year, but through the whole
impressiLle period of childhood and youth
the influence Of parental example is thus
felt. If it be constituted Of the highest
and purest elements, the resul. will be un'
speakably precious. Sons and daughter:
will become patterns of propriety and
goodness, because their parents IRE such
The former will be as "plants grown uT
in their youth" and the latter as "corner
stones polished after the similtude OF {
palace"

The Montgomery AID English Fight.

A Washington letter Nriter makes tho
following note Of the stir amUup the politi-
clans caused by tho late set.to betpeeu Eng
lsh, OF Indiana, and Montgomery, OF Pa
1t is rich:
Two Democrats have boen fighting on tho
Avenue, ind "the party" is quarroling over
it in and out of Congress. Montgomery
represents tho Douglas squad: English tho
party at large--the Lecomptonites-the de-
tenders of fraud. English has largo stock
of Buchanan piety, while Montgomery 10
very fond (but not to excesS) of "old rye"
Last wiEtcr, Montgomery and English, up
to certain date, were excellent friends, in
timato and loving. Thoy both voted against
the Lecompton bill as it originally came
from tho Senate. Tho day of that voto
somo ono intimated very plainly that EEg-
lish was traitor, and was oven then plot
ting treason. Montgomery had faith in him,
however, and gavo him his confidence Eng
lish frequentcd MOntgomerys room, where
be mot the genuine Anti Locompton Demo-
crats-atterwards, as it proved, to botray
them. When tho so.calldd English Com
| promise passed tho House, tho Lccompton
Democrats had grand iollficatinn in the
grounds of tho White House. There Mr..
/ English had tho hardlhood TO tell tho world
/ that he had associated with the Douglas
men for tho purpose of watching them.---
From that moment he was hated by the An
/ ii LUcompton Democrats-Broderick in tho
Senate, called him "a puppy, to his facet
nearly every other man Of the Opposition
did so at his back. Montgomery, from that
day, would not recognize his old friend By
salutation or bow. This winter the two mon
sit near each other in the House, but never
word has passed. between them, and, Oh
Saturday MIR. EuglIsh meant 10 ayenge him
self
| The quarrel is an indication OF the state
of feeling between the Anti Lecompton and
| Buchanan wings Of the Democracy. How
ever Mir. Douglas may conduct himself ma
| ny gentlemen set down us his followers will
utterly refuse to make peace with the Ad-
ministration. Such men as Haskin. and
Clark. of New York, and Forney. of Phia-
delphia, are greatly dissatisfied with the re-
| cont Southern tour of Mr. Douglas. aud or
enly avow thoir dislike of his conduct. If
he, therefore, comes back horc to mako peace
with tho Administration. as many assert, he
will lose the support of such men, who can
not and will not train under James Buchan-
an again.
The set-to between Montgomery and Eng.
lish has already done much to widen tho
chasm separating the two branches Of the
Democracy, and it will take little more to
drive the better men among the ADti-Le-
compton Democracy over to the Opposition.

Disturbance ss in Kansas.

Rumors have lately reached us from
time TO time, that the Fort Scott troubles
are revived, and in our telegraph column
is dispatch confirming these rumors.-
The revival OF these disturbances, it will
be seen, is Attributes solely to breach
OF good faith on the part of the friends OF
slavery. The Leayenworth Times says:--
Ia the Emporia AeacS of The lib inst.
We find satisfactory account OF the re-
cen, troubles in Linn, Lykins and Bourbon
counties. It seems that after the peace
agreed upon between Governor Denver
and Capt. Montgomery, the latter turned
his attention 10 his business and family.
For few weeks peace prevailed. A Pro.
Slavery Grand Jury, however, soon
found bills of indictment against Mont
gomery, in direct violation OF the treaty.
and murderous night assault was made
upon his home. His life was also threat
ened.
The Ne1oS says:-
"This led to retaIiatory acts from Mont
gomery andhis friends. A warrant has
been issued for the arrest Of Montgomery.
but he has not been taken, and will not
be, olipe Warrants for the arrest OF
most of lis company have also been issu'
ed.
"In Bourbon county, loo there seems
TO have been breaking out. 1t is.
doubtless the nursed and smothered hate
which has been gendered during the for
mer difficulties, which has blazed out
anew-the remembrance CT wrongs for
which vengeance is demanded.
III the past is 10 be revived. and the
law put into operation against Free State
men who participated in the difficulties
which grew out OF the Missouri invasion.
there will be no end TO these things. II
was bad enough to be obliged, from the
prostitution of the law by set fend--to
lake up aims in ones defence, without
being visited with legal prosecution for it.
when the law has regained its suprem-
acy."
II is This attemp: on the part Of the
Border Rulfians 10 pursue and punish
Montgomery and his men for alleged Off
ences, after general amnesty bad been
agreed upon through Gov. Denver, be-
tween the balligerents, that has caused
this outbreak. Nothing will quiet Kansas
but its admission as Free Slate.- C9spe.

COUNTY, ONO.
When first together here we meet,
AskaHcc each other We behold
The bitter mingling with the sweet,
The warm ntempercd by the cold.
We seek with searching ken to find
A soul congeriul with our own;
For mind in sympathy with mind
Instructive breads 10 walk alone.
Aud here, from regions far apart,
We came one purpose to pursue;
Each with warm and hottest heart,
Each with spirit firm and true;
Intent with anxious aim to learn,
Each others character to scan;
/ And soon the difference We discern
Between the iair and lailhless mnn
And here with scrutinizing eye,
A kindred soul with mine to see,
And longing bosom to descry,
sought, and found at last in thee.
Farewell, my friend, and if once more
We meet within this hall again,
Be ours the blessing to restore
Our counIrys, and The rights cfmen!

They are going-only going;-
Jesus called them long ago!
All the wintry time they're passing
Softly as the falling snow.
When the violets in the spring.tims
Catch the azure of the sky,
They are carried out to slumber
Sweetly where the yiolets lie.
They are gong,-only going
When with summer earth is dressed,
in their cold hands holding roses
Folded TO each silent breast;
When the autumn hangs red banners
Out above the harvest shcaves,
They are soing,-ever going
Thick and fast, like falling leaves.
All along the mighty ages,
All adown the solemn Time,
They have taken up their homeward
March, to that serener cline,
Where the watching, waiting angels
Lead them from Inc shadows dim,
To the brightness Of His presence
Who has called them unto Him.
They are going only going
Out Of pain, and into bliss
Out of sad and sinful weakness
In perfect holiness.
Snowy brows,:-no care shall shade them;
Bright eyes,-tears shall never dim;
Rosy lips no time shall fade them;
Jesus called them unto Him.
Little hearts forever Stainless
Little hands as pure ns they
Little feet by angels guided
Never n forbidden way!
They are goiug,-ever going
Leaving many lonely spot;
But Ills Jesus who has called them,-
Suffer, and forbid them not

thrown upon the law of self. defense, and

liberty therefore the slave is thrown back
upon the law of selt-pres, station ; and, as
the DIVINE law is, he that stealeth man
and selleth him, or if he be found in his
hands he shall surely be put to death !;
and, as human Codes in the Slave States
fail to enforce this penalty and to protect
the slave, he may, nay, according to the
logic of Mr.. Graham (Sickles counsel, }
he is bound to act the part Of the execu-
tor Of the Divine law and send every
