The Self Mnde Man.

We print below an extract from cap
ital letter addressed, many years ago, TO
a youth who was about leaving his homo
and friends here to seek his fortune in the
far west. 1t was written by one of our
most worthy and venerable citizens who
has nobly illustrated in his own life that
idea Of true and heroic manhood, which
he wished by his advice, to make the rule
and inspiration of career on which his
young friend was about to start:
"DEAR SIR:-What n glorious mission
you have bef re you that is TO become
seDmade man. How much there is TO
admire and respect in such character, (,
Compare his energy and perseverance,
his noble endeayor always TO rise and go
forward-overcomng difficulties and bear
ing down obstacles that would appal one
a degree less high hearted and brave
Compare him with the aimless, soul!ess
puppet Of fashionable life, TO whom eSis-
tcnce has been given for no ostensible end
reared in the lap Of luxury, with but
one object in life, to pamper and crafty
all his selfish ard unmanly tastes-with
no tho't or pity for the unfortunate or the
miserable, turning from them as some
thing disagreeable, in which he has moth
ing in common, and no concern or inter
est; spending his time and ten talents
rs if there was no account to be rendered
of thcm-and yet, this is man, an I'M
mortal man, TO whom it was said, who
so givcth unto the least of these, giyeth
unto me- How different is such life
from bis, who, beginning at the first round
Of the ladder by untiIing perseverance,
and honesty, and that charity which
suffereth long and is kind ascends, step
by step, dispensing kind words and noble
deeds by tho way-for be, TOBIAS suffer
ed, and can feel for those below him
reaches at length the top, when he re-
ceivcs the respect and admiration of all
who see him. Yes, it is the self made
man who has made our country great
The man who puts his hand to the plow
and looks not back; who, undaunted by
the storms of adversely, perseveres on
ward and upward, until the clouds are all
dispelled, and he has reached tho goal.
My young friend, have one son, and
would rather he should prove man like
this, than to inherit wealth and titles; for
in doing So | think he would better fulfill
the great work that we were sent here to
do."-F2orida Home Companion.

LAWYER AND WITNEss.-A story is
told of very eminent lawyer receiving
severe reprimand from a witness on tho
stand, whom he was trying to browbeat.
II was an important issue, and in order TO
save his case from defeat, it was necessa-
ry that Mr.. A. should impeach the wit
ness. He endeavored to do it on tho
ground of age. The following dialogue
ensued:
Lawyer" How old are your
Witness" Seventy-two years."
Lawyer" Your memory, of course, is
not so brilliant and vivid as it was tweu-
ty years ago, is it|
Witness--"I don't know but it is"
Lawyer" State some circumstances
which occurred, say twelve years ago, and
We shall be able to see how well you can
remember"
Witness-"I ] appeal TO your honor if
| am to be interrogated in this manner;
it is insocnt."
Judge" You had better answer tho
question"
Lawyer" Yes, sir; state it y
Witness" Well, sir, if you compel mo
to do il, will. About twelve years ago
you studied in Judge BIS office, did you
not?'
Lawyer" Yes"
Witness =" Well, sir, remember your
father coming into my Office and saying
to me, Mr.. d., my son is to be examin-
ed tomorrow, and | wish you would lend
me fifteen dollars to buy him a suit of
clothes.' | remember also, sir, that from
that from that day to this he has never
paid me that sum. That, sir, I remem-
Der as though it was yesterday"
Lawyer considerably abashcd,)
"That will do, sir"
Witness" | presume it will"

DENoMINATIoNAL OXEN IN Texas
Texas is great State. 1t has not only
q large, growing, mixed population-eve-
ry variety of climate and soil, game and
stock-but its very oxen have become de-
nomnational, if not sectarian in name,
character and spirit. In proof Of this we
give the following incident:
A minister travelling along the road,
met stranger driving his wagon, which
was pulled by four oxen; rs the minister
approached, he heard the driver say, " Get
up, Presbyterian" "Gee, Cambellitem
"Haw Baptist!' "What are you doing,
Methodistl" The minister, struck with
the singuarity of such names being given
to oxen, remarked:
"Stmngor, you have strange names for
your oxen, and wish to know why they
had such names given 10 them"
The driver replied, 81 call that lead OK
in front, Presbyterian, because he is true
blue, and never fails-he believes in pull
ing through every difficult place, persever-
ing to the end, and then he knows more
than all the rest. The one by his side |
call Cambellite; he does very well when
you let him go his own way, until he
sees water, and then all the world could
not keep him out Of it, and there he
stands as if his journey was ended. This
off OK, behind is real Baptist, for he is
all the time after water, and will not eat
with the others, but is constantly looking,
first on one side, and then on tho other,
and at every thing that comes near him.
The other which | call Methodist, makes
n great noise and great to-do, and you
would think that he was pulling all crea-
ton, but he don't pull pound" The
minister, having his curiosity gratifed
with the explanation, rode on, wondering
what he should next see and hear in Tex
rs. This is no dream, but real fact, rs
we have heard it; nor are we influenced
by dyspeptic feelings, in telling our read
ers the ecclesiastical relation Of Texas OK
en-. True Witness.

An INFATUATED LovYER."--In Bur
lington, Iowa, is a young man whose
heart became touched with the many at
fractions possessed by young and fair
lady, but unfortunately for him her heart
did not reciprocate his affections, and ho
became impressed with the strange idea
that he was female. Since that time
he has permitted his hair, formerly kept
cut short, to grow an undue length, and
keeps it dressed in the style generally
worn by the ladies. All the little arts
resorted to by the divine sex TO whiten
and beautify the skin are regularly prae-
tced by him, and in all things does no
strive to support his assumed character,
with ono exception of donning the petit
coats. In this particular his taste seoms
to differ from the sex generally, Pants
cut a la bloomer shoes with dainty heels,
and hat of decidedly feminine cut arc
the nearest approaches he makes to tho
dress Of woman. A voice reduced to n
whispering tenderness completes this man
woman.

Give us the nerve of steel,
And the arm Of fearless might,
And the strength of will that is ready still
To battle for tho right.
Give us the eye to weep,
The honest tear of feeling;
Thatshuts not down for heworld' breakdown
The genuine heart revealing.
Give us the men to feel
The sufferings of another,
The fearless power in the trying hour
To help a suffering brother.
Give us the clear, cool brain,
That is never sleep or DOING;
But, springing with bold endeavor,
Wakes the world from its probing.
All, give us the nerve of steel,
And the hand of fearless might,
And the heart that can love and feel,
And the head that is always right.
For the foeman is now abroad,
And the earth is filed with crimes
Let it be our prayer to God,
Oh, give us the men for the times.

II am come" said he, ato speak about

81 am come" said he, "to speak abou
the property left with me-"
Don't mind that at all, my friend,
interrupted the prince, "but come anC
take breakfast with me. Nay, | insis
and pray, do not mention the affair.
rejoice thai it was there to do you service
in a time when you must ave needed il
SO much. Sit down, and in this admira
bic coffee, we will drink away its remem
brance altogether"
The Jew took the proffered chair.
Believe me, prince, your treasure is
all safe, just as told you. The closet
was searched again and again, and every
seam examined without success. The fine
old china, and, indeed, all our possess
ions, were sacrificed TO the plundering ra-
pacity of the enemy; but, thanks TO the
name of Israers God, we were enabled to
keep secret the trust you reposcd in us.
Your property only awaits your order, TO
be restored to You rs you gave it,
The prince was astonished. 81 had
scarcely believed in such virtue, my friend.
You have taught me that mans integ-
rity may be incorruptible, and henceforth
| shall have increased faith in the dignity
and purity of human nature"
A few days after this, the prince called
at the house in Juden Strasse, and receiv-
ed his girdle with not stone missing
In that very house the children of Ben
Heber were educated in the principles of
honor and justice. Everywhere the integ-
rity of their father was sounded abroad
by the prince, who deemed that his thanks
and presents alone were not sufficient
The world heard the tale, and the humble
Jew received not only the trust but the
companionship Of princes and mobiles. In
all parts Of tho commercial world men
heard the name with veneration; and at
this day his family are scattered about in
the grandest cities of Europe, the mon
archs of finance, the arbiters of the mon
ey market, the successful, because honor
able controllers of the wealth of nations.
But though frequently. urged to make
her home in cne of the princely palaces in
which they dwell, Sarah Rothschild pass
ed her peaceful old age in the quaint old
house in the Juden Strasse. When her
sons, who were princes in their own right,
and noble by their country's gift Of nobil-
itv-given, too, to merit alone-when
they visited her, she received them in the
same room in which they had received
their lessons of truth and honor; and the
stately woman rose up with grace and
dignity that would seem to belong only
to a queen, and, laying her hands upon
their heads, would bless them in the name
of lsraels God.
"May their tribe incrcasew is the heart
felt thought of all who know their worth
and integrity. Such is true sketch of
the great HOUSE OF RoTHscHILD.

The Democracy at Wheeling appear
