REPUTATION AND CHARACTER.-I will
draw a distinction between character
and reputation, which are not synony-
nous. A mans character is the real
ity of himself his reputation, the opin-
ion others have formed about him ;
character resides in him, reputation in
other people. If man by accident,
achieve things beyond his line, his rep
utation will be different from his char
acter. 1t is important to men begin
ing life to know which they want char
acter Or reputation. To build a char
acter is q work Of time as ships are
built on one element and used in an
other, so character is formed in youth
for after life. In man, tn, material
must exist originally; a man naturally
mean may be improved, but never will
be noble man. Reputation may be
made for man ; character must be
made by him, with labor and time, and
it~cannot be taken away. Ii is what
God made a man and what he makes of
himself that determines his influence {;
the weights never ask favor Of the
scales a thousand pounds will weigh
down five hundred by their natural
force. So, as a mans character is, so
is he,

The RELIGION OF PAYING DEBTS
One Of the religious papers has the fol-
lowing strong remarks on the subject.
They drive the nail up to the head and
clinch it.
Men may sophiscate as they please.
They can never make it right, and all
the bankrupt laws in the universe can
not make it right for them not to pay
their debts. There is sin in this ne
glect as clear and deserving Of church
discipline as in stealing or false swear
ing. He Who violates his promise to
pay, or w.thkolds payment of a debt,
when it is his power to meet his en-
gagement, ought to be made to feel
that in the sight Of all honest men he
is swindler. Religion may be very
comfortable cloak under which to hide;
but if religion does not make man
deal Justly, it is not worth having"

BRIEF HINTS FOR THE GARDEv.

BRIEF HINTS FOR THE GARDEE. -
Frequent stirring of the soil. about all
growing crops, in the absence of rain,
admits Of the action of the atmosphere,
and they enjoy the benefit of the dews,
both most salutary il their effects.
Mulching trees transplanted this
spring, also tomato plants, as we'll as
strawberry beds recently set out, is
highly to be commended.
Wood ashes, literally sown under
large trees, where the grass has disap-
peared, will speedily produce white clo-
yer and other grasses.
The viii and yellow turnip- rooted
raddish should follow the early red
which will lot stand the hot sun of
summer.
Peas, bunch beans, spinach, beets
corn, &C., should be sown at intervals
Of two weeks, during the season, for a
constant supply for the table or mar
ket.
Until out Of danger, sprinkle the
cucumber, squash and melon plants,
thrice a week with wood ashes, early in
the morning, when the dew is on, to
rpotect them against insect depreda-
tons.
Carefully tie up the rose, and other
towering plants and shrubs requiring
it. In another place, avire supporters
are recommended.
In re-planting corn which has failed,
let it soak for three or four hours in
rich manure water, and then roll in
plaster. 1t will sprout nearly in half
the time Of other seed not stepped prop
erly, and give strong plants.
Carrants, gooseberrles, blackberries,
and raspberries, should be mulched
with leaves or light stable manure, reg
ularly twice year. 1t will not only
keep down the weeds the great enemy
of these fruits-but it will create a
fine, rich loan, and afford abundant
crops.
For garden walks, there is no mate
rial in our judgment, to compare with
coal ashes. II the walks or alleys arc
dug out six inches, and filled up with
these ashes, and rolled, it will act not
only as a drain to the alley, but to the
beds. In the wettest weather,
and in all seasons, these walks are in
good condition. If but twenty or thirty
yards year are made in this way, in
a few years the whole garden will have
these admirable paths and after that,
they can be top dressed every spring
with the accumulated ashes during win
ter, and again rolled. Germantown

it is limited that for this vote the proper recon-

EGFNo wonder mon oro nnb,

s9No wonder men are unhappy il
the world. There is always clashine
when the machinery is out of gear
There is always trouble when the wheels
are off the track. Man seeks to live for

others. How swells that mothers heart
with joy when she can make her child
rem happy! What thrill of delight
comes with that look of gratitude, that
tear of joy, and that one of love, which
are all that the widow and tae orphan
can render to their benefactor. The CUP
of happiness is an overlooking cup. 1t
is like a bubbling fountain, ever pour
ing forth its blessings to refresh the

unpromising boy. Dryden, Swift and
Gibbon, in the earliest pieces, did not

says:

which gave him great courage. He
bribed one old rat to gnaw off his irons,
and killing the remainder, he tied their

and Carrie drew him up through the
crack, piece by piece by the rat-tail
rope. Captain Lester having, with
great presence Of mind, marked ca ch
piece, had no difficulty in putting him.
