Wish / had a Capital.

So | heard great strapping young
man exclaim the other day. did want
to tell him piece of my mind SO bad.
But I'll just write it 10 him. You want
capital! Haven't you got hands and feet,
and body, and muscle, and bone, and
brains; aud don't you call them capital
What more capital did God give to any
body9 Oh ! but they are not money, say
you. If you will usct them they will make
money, and nobody can take them from
you. Don't you know how to use them
If you don't it is time you were learn
ing. Take hold of the first plow, or hoe,
or jack plane, or broad-ax that you can
find, and go to work. Your capital will
soon yield you a large interest. Aye,
but there's the rub; you don't want to
work, You want money or credit that you
may play the gentleman and speculate.
and end by playing the vagabond; or you
want plantation and negroes, that you
may hire an overseer TO attend TO them,
while you run about over The country and
dissipate, and get in debt; or want TO
marry some rich girl who may be foolish
enough to take you for your fine clothes
and good looks, that she may support
you.
Shame upon you, young man! Go to
work with the capital you have, and you'll
soon make interest enough upon it, and
with it, TO give you rs much money as
you want, and make you feel like man.
If you can't make money upon what cap
ital you have, you couldn't make it if you
had million of dollars in money. If
You don't know how TO use bone and
muscle and brains, you would not know
how TO use gold. If you let the capital
you have lie idle and waste and rust out,
it would be the same thing with you if
you had gold; you would only know how
TO waste.
Then don't stand about like great
helpless child, waiting for somebody TO
como in and feed you, but go to work.
Take the first work you can find, no mat
ter what it is, so long that you be sure to
do it like Billy Gray did his drumming
well. Yes, whatever you undertake,
do it well; always do your best. If you
manage the capital you already have, you
will soon have plenty moro to manage;
but if you can't or won't manage thecap-
ital God has given you, you will never
have any other TO manage. Do you hear,
young man?

AN INGENIOUS DEvICE.-A sergeant
with about twenty-five soldiers had been
sent out some miles from Fort Defiance,
New Mexico, to guard some stock which
were sent to Craze, when they found that
the party was surrounded by about four
hundred hostile Navajoe Indians. The
brave and skillful sergeant took position
on an eminence, and by volley from the
long shooting rifles of his party at first
drove off the savases, who, however, soon
rallied, and were prepared to storm the
small party on all sides. The sergeant,
in taxing his brain for an expedient by
which to convey intelligence Of the despe-
rate peril in which his party was placed,
took single dog which had accompanied
the party, fastened to his collar note
written with pencil, informing the COM
mander at the fort of his situation, took
tin cup in which he put some pebbles,
which were confined with a piece of cloth
over the top, fastened with string to the
dogs tail, and started the dog loose,
knowing that he would in his fright run
to the fort. He dashed with his greatest
speed to Fort Defiance; the note was dis
covered and read. Straightway a party
was sent TO the rescue, and arrived Just
in time to save the lives of the whole
party.

UNCLE SANS FARM.-The amount of
land the United States Government has
for sale is almost incalculabe. All the
people of fourteen States and five Terri
tories derive their title TO their land from
the Federal Government, and the records
and files evincing the inception of their
rights are preserved in the General Land
Office at Washington. The public do
main now covers a surface, exclusive of
water, Of /, ;5O,0OO,0oO acres. Tho
Government has sold about 120,000,00O
acres of land during the last quarter of a
century, for less than 50,000,00o. 1t
will thus be seen, Uncle Sans farm is still
sufficiently large for practical purposes,
and though he should sell of lands for
centuries to come he would have an abun-
dance still, even if he does not enlarge his
borders by the annexation of Cuba, Mex
leo, and half the rest of the world.

Yet are the prints Of the fairies feet
All DER my sanded floor;
And l hear sweet sounds of mirthfulness,
That greet me at break of day.
And the fairies bright coE.e across my patl
Ere start with my spade away.
And when at eve I am safely housed,
One fairy will slice my bread;
And a little one will climb my knee,
For kiss ere sho goes to bed.
Then let them prate of their houses rich,
OF their jewels, and silver, and gold;

Whose love is not to be sold,

The DruZes and the MarOnites.

These terms occur in the news from
Syria, The Druzes-spelled also Druses
are a strange people, comprising part of
the motley mass of Syria in Turkey-iu-
Asia. They are religious sect-so we
read-of peculiar tenets. The name Dru-
yes, being their popular appellation, is
derived from one of their early Leaders
Drusi-who lived centuries since; but this
title is disclaimed by them as stigma
They are Unitarians that is, believe in the
unity of God. Their mediator is being
called Hamsa, who combines the functions
of Jesus and Mohammed. They believe
in the transmigration of souls, and that st
the beginning the world had its perfect
form, when myriads of beings, male and
female, large and small, young and old,
were created in fixed lumber, and no more
souls have since been created. They do
not divulge their rites; they neither fast
nor pray. Their language is Arabic; they
are frugal, hospitable, have great love Of
country, great pride Of birth, and utterly
hate all other religions. Deceit between
comrades is lasting shame, cowardice never
forgotten, while success is the measure of
worth and defeat disgrace. Their leaders
often contend with each other, but all the
tribes implicitly follow common leader
when an outside enemy appears. Marriage
is respected, and menogamy prevails. At
their meetings; when infdels-what wa
would call outsiders-are present, the
Koran or Christian Scriptures are read,
and their own religious books read after
the in6dels have left.
The Druzes inhabit the Lebanon noun
tains. They are even more a peculiar
people than the Jews; they are rarely con-
verted; they marry only within their own
race; adhere tenaciously to tradition; and
refuse to reveal their cherished secrets.-
They are stigmatized as infdels and as
robbers; yet observe honor, and social vir-
tues. They are not idolators, are less IA
natical than surrounding sects, and do not
attempt to proselyte. They are the sub
jects of the Sultan of Turkey.
Between the Druzes and the Maronites
a deadly enmity has long existed. The
Maronites-so called from Maron, leader,
among them centuries since-are Chris
tains, as the term is there known. Their
church is similar to the old Greek church;
and, while retaining their peculiarities,
the have given in adhesion to the Pope,
hence are Roman Catholics, although cler-
ical celibacy is not one of their tenets.-
They originally sprang from society of
Monks in and about Mount Lebanon, and
inhabit that portion of Syria in common
with the Druzes. The warfare between
these two sects has been allowed to go on
by the Turkish Government, which is very
weak and inefficient. Our correspondent.
DR.. Seeley of this city, in one of his
etters in April last, showed what miserable
government that oyer Syria is, and he and
his party experienced much danger and IN
through the laxity of Turkish
'ule. Dr.. Seeley left Syria less than
month before the terrible scenes of which
We now have accounts. Had he stayed
onger the result might have been more
bullet through his had.
