No Right TO IndOrse.

A man has no right to indorse when the
failure of the first party to meet his obga-
ton will rendes the creditors of the indorscr
liable to loss in consequence of such indorsc-
ment.
He has no right to indorsc for another man
unless he makes provision for meeting such
obligation, independent of and after provsl-
ing for all other obligations.
Ua has no right to indorse unless he fully
intends TO pay what he promises to, prompt
ly, in case the first party fails to do so. Few
indorsers prepare for this.
His relations to his family demand that
he sral not obligate himself to oblige anoth =
or simply at the risk of defraudng or de-
privipg them of what belongs to them.
He should never indorse or become re-
sponsible for any amount without security is
Furnished by the first party. 1t should be
made business transaction-rafely a mat
ter of friendship. 1t is equivalent to a loan
of capital to the amount of the obligation
and the same precautions should be taken tc
secure it.
A man has no more right to expect anoth-
or to indorse his note without recompense
than to expect an insurance company to in.
sure bis home or his life gratuitouslv.
! 1t is not good business policy for one tc
ask another to indorse his note, promising tc
accommodate him in the same manner. The
exchange Of signatures may have, and usual'
ly does have, very unequal value. 1t il
better to secure him the amount, and cxac
a like security for the amount OF responsible
ity incurred.
It is better TO 10 a business that will involt
no necessity for asking OF granting such ia.
vors, or making such exchanges. 1t is al
ways safe and just to do so.

An Indian COquette.

A Young Indian failed in his attentions to
young squaw. She made complaint to an
old chief, who appointed hearing on trial.
The lady laid the case before the judge and
explained the nature Of the promise made
to her. It consisted Of sunday visits to her
wigwam, "many little undefnable atten-
tions," and presents bunch Of feathers and
several yards of red flannel This was the
charge. The faithless swain denied the "un-
defnable attentions in toto He had visited
her fathers wigwam for the purpose Of pass
ing away time, when it was not convenient
to hunt, and had given the feathers and fan
mel from friendly motives, and nothing fur

the squaw tainted. The plea was consider
ed invalid, and the offender sentenced to
give the lady "a yellow feather, brooch
that was then dangling from his nose, and a
dozen coon skins" The sentence was no
sooner concluded than the squaw sprang
upon her feat, aud clapping her hands ex-
claimed with Joy. "Now me ready to be

Holding a Baby in the Cars.

A well know citizen and prominent city
official, residing in Detroit, was passing over
the Chicago, Alton and st. Louis Railroad.
few weeks since, and while seated in the car
he noticed very neatly dressed and good
looking female with a very noisy baby, which
she was endeavoring to quiet and quito sleep.
Her efforts were vain however, and the Off
cial, being great lover of children and the
father of several himself, rendered his services
to the mother, saying that he thought with
his persuasive powers the child wonld soon
be sleeping soundly. The mother relinquish-
ed the child to the officer, who, with kind and
soothing words, kisses and embraces, was
successful. At the next station tEe mother
got off, saying she would get some milk for
the baby, leaving the dear little creature in
charge of its kind protector. The train star
ted but the mother did not; size renamed
behind. Our friend was anxious, and knew
not what to do. The conductor inquired,
where is your wife," The official responded,
"Shc is not ny wife-I never saw her till
ws met on the train !" The conductor look
ed dubious, saying, "You can't catch an old
bird with chalf." At this the passengers be-
gan to gather around, anxious to know why
the woman had deserted her child and hus-
band. explanations were made but wouldn't
"go down." and al were satisfied, except
the victim; that the poor women had been
abused by her spouse, and had taken leave
of him for that reason When the train ar
rived at the next station despatch was sent
to the station they had left for the woman
to be sent forward, and with good talking
and considerable bont!s an elder lady was
prevailed upon to take charge of the child.
The official declares that his fondncss for
children has fed, and that he will never
oblige the best friend he has in the world by
holding his children for him while absent
from home.

get an egtravagant wife
To see apples in dream, betokens a we'd
ding, because where you find apples you may
expect to find pears.
To dream you aye lame, IS token that
you will get into hobble.
When young lady dreams OF coffin, it
betokcns that She should Instantly discontn-
ue the use Of tight stays, and always so warm
ly and thickly shod in wet weather.
To dream Of fire is sign-if you are wise
you will see that the lights in your house
are put out before you 60 to bed.
To dream that your nose is read at the tip
is an intimaton that you had better leave of
brandy and water.
To dream of walking barefooted, denotes
Journey that you will make bootless
To dream OF eggs, is a sign that you will
discover mares nest.
When fashionable lady dreams of FL
bert, it is sign that her thoughts are run
ming upon the colonel.
If you dream of Clothes it is a warning
not to go to law, for, by the rule of contra
res, you will be sure of non-suit.
To dream that you are eating, is certain tc
come true at breakfast.
To dream of barber, denotes lcsses-hair
may be expected to be cut off.

wants is madness.
1t is very lucky to dream you pay for

Fidelity.

Never forsake q friend. When enemies
gather thick and fast around; when sickness
falls heavy upon the heart when the world
is dark and cheerless; this is the time to try
true friendship. The heart that has been
touched with true gold, will redouble its Of
forts, when friend is sad and in trouble.
Adversely tries real friendship. They who
turn from the scene of distress, or offer
reasons why they should he excused from
extending aid and sympathy; betray their
hypocrisy, and prove that selfish motives
only, prompt and move them. If you have
q friend who loves you; who has studied your
interest and happiness: defended you when
you were prosecuted and troubled; be sure
so sustain him in his adversely Let him
feel that his former kindness is appreciated,
and that his friendship was not lavished upon
you for naught, Real fidelity may be rare
but its exists in the heart They only deny
its worth aud power, who have never loved
a friend, or labored to inake a friend happy.
The good and kind, the aifectionate and vir-
tuous, see and feel this heavenly principle;
sacred gem, implanted by heaven in man S
bosom. True fidelity has its reward. 1t
may be sighted by some; overlooked by
others; but pure minded men cultivate and
cherish fond and undying love for it. They
would sacrifice wealth and honor to promote
the happiness Of others; and in return they
receive the reward of their love by sympa-
thzing hearts and countless favors, when
they have been brought low by disease or
adversely.
As the diamond is Fot,nd In the darkness
of the mine; as the lightning shoots with
most vivid flashes from the gloomicst cloud
so does fidelity proceed from heart sus"epti-
ble to the calls Of deepes. melancholy, and
shows itself brighter and stronger in the ad-
versity of friends.

Heaviest SPORTING WAGER on RECORD
Mr.. Ten Rroeck appears to be putting mat
ters through with a rush just now, in Eng
land. Our London papers bring intelligence
that he has made bet of 100000, $780,
900 a side,) with Sir Joseph Hawley, that
his horse Umpire defeats Loiterer for the
Derby of 1860. Mr.. Ten Brock purchased
Loiterer when a yearling for S25O0, and af
terwards sold him for $500, having won
$4,000 with him in match in the meantime
He is half brother to the celebrated Saunter-
er, but beyond his undeniablc high breeding
and promising appearance, there is nothing
in him to justify the high opinion entertain
cd of his merits by his owner. Umpire has
proved himself II first-class horse. Sir Jo-
scph IIawley is the most experienced as well
as successful turtle in England Last year
he carried of the Derby with Beadsman, and
this year with Musjid. In fact the "ch,rf
Jacket" is ofteuer seen in front in the more
important races than any other, and if Mr..
Ten Brock out-general the lucky baronet,
he will have achieved a feat which no other
sportsman in England has ever been able to
accomplish. The enormous extent of the
wager together with the character of the horse
ses engaged, will render the race the most in
teresting that has taken place on the English
tuif since Voltgeur had to succom to tn,
Duchmau, and the result will be looked for
with equal anxiety on both sides of the At
lantic.

Ere yet the tears of dewy night
On Natures face were dry.
We buried her while still the sun
Was OH the horizons verge,
The lark, before the task was done,
Began to sing her dirge.
We laid our sleeping flower among
The just awakening flowers;
Liku them she was go sweet and young,
That blish.ed bud Of ours.
She died at dawn--wc laid her where
The suns first smtles will rest;
lie will not look on ausht So fair,
Before he gains the West.
We did not leave a trace Of gloom
About her grassy bed;
All should be bright about tomb
Which holds the early dead.

Before she passed away:
Death is the spirits better birth,
The dawn of perfect day.
