W WEALTH.

Wealth Is IN applications of mind to ma
ture, and the art OF getting rich consists not
in industry. much less in saving, but in bet
ter order in tmelinesS, in being at the rjrht
spot. One man has stronger arms. or lon-er
legs. another sees by the course of streams.
and growth of markets, where land will bo

stronger now than it was hundred years a.
60; but it is put To better Use. A clever fel
ow was acquainted with the expansive force
Of steam; he also saw tho wealth Of wheat
and grass rotting in Michigan. Then he
cunningy screws on the steam-pire to the
wheat-crop. Puff. now, OIL, Steam, The

time it is dragging all Michigan at its back

SOuti era Climate and Northern
Soldiers.

| The Southern rebels count strongly
upon the effect of the hot weather upon
our Northern troops. In this they will
find themselves mistaken. Mr.. Russell
their great friend and historian, in one
of his letters from India, stated that its
climate was best endured by the Europe
ans for several years after their arrival;
and other authorities have stated the
same thing. Our own experience du-
ring the revolutionary war shows that
the New England troops operated in the
South during the summer heats of 1908
and 1881 without difficulty. Many glo-
rious battles were fought by them during
the hottest months. and no one heard of
their relaxing in courage or conduct du-
ring July, August, and September, of
those years. If the climate is to do
harm to any, it will be those enerrated,
broken down, bilious nabobs who run
away every summer from the fevcrs of
tkeir own localities, and get what health
they mny by hurrying to the pure air
and healthy mineral waters of the North.
If any ones afraid of Captain Jack, it
is Captain Bobadil. '--Ne,g Y,rk Eeen-
ing Po't.
In the Mexican war, it was the Nor
thern troops, which best endured the
heats.

The Fighting Quaker.

Illustrative Of the universally of the

Of an Incl lent yesterday which shows
that the race of fighting Quakers is not

of dissipation which scattered ashes upon
the heads Of his family, the youngstcr
Withdrew from his fathers house, and
took up his home at the engine house
where he had already spent most Of his
time. Prayers and entreatcs to return
were alike unavailiug, and after time
he was almost given up to his fate. -
Last Friday he presented himself at his
fathers house, wearing the uniform Of a
popular volunteer company. lie was
welcomed as prodical son, and, after
receiving the en- braces of his mother anc
sisters the father asked him;
What is thee doing, my son, in thi,
dress?'

Military Character OF General
Scott.

The New York World pays the fol
lowing just and discriminating tribute tt
the qualities which characterize the vet
an General-in Chief of the United States
forces who, it will be remembered, has
never lost a battle:
Our actual Commander-in in Chief, the
Lieutenant General of our Army though
as brave as Achilles, is rs serene as Az.
amemnon and as prudent as Ulysses. =
From his youth he has been soldier
and victorious one. He has seen NOR,
service than any man under his com.
mand. and was never known to be even
Disconnected by danger. A strict dis
cipllnarian, and something of martin
ct, it was iocOsely said of him, in his
younger days, that he would drill Il bat
talon under fire. Yet General ,ScoT1
is as chary of mems lives as a mlser Of
his gold; and SO was the Duke Of Well
ington. He never moves, if he can a
void it, until he sees not on Y that he
can accomplish a good purpose, but un-
.il he can accomplish it at the least pos
siblc risk of his men. 1t is his avowed
belief that an officer who exposes troops
to needless peril is guilty of degree OF
manslaughter. And he not only thus
regards himself as responsible for the
lives of men under his command, but he
looks after their health and comfort. -
He will not accept regiments unless he
can see clearly the means to feed, clothc
and shelter them. The consequence of
this prudence on his part Coined. as it
is known to be, with the most daring
spirit and great military sagacity) is
that, after little experience, men fight
under him with entire confidence. They
come to believe that if he gives an order
it is not one which will expose them to
needless risk, or to chances of defeat, if
in battle they justify his confidence in
their bravery. Through all the excite
ment of the past few weeks at Washing
ton he has remained undisturbcd. The
announcement Of the approach of twenty,
thirty, fifty thousand men, be has rccciv-
ed with impurturbable incredulity. He
knows better. lie knew that Gen Da-
Wis could no more march fifty thousand
men upon Washington than fifty thou
sand witches. He knows exactly what
provision is required for the transporta-
ton of even thousand men five hundred
miles. he knows when to be alarmed
and when to reposc in confidence, when
torcpress ardor and when to give it way
He knows that it is one of the first du-
ties Of a military leader to restrain and
direct his own enthusiasm as well as that
of the men under his command IL is
prudent. Nay, he is prudence incar-
nate, und so all other eflicacous quail.
ties attend him.

Useful Receipts.

Tile Virtues Of Borar. The washwo-
men ofllollaud and Belgium, so provcrb-
tally clean, and who get up their linen
so beautifully white, use refined borax
as washing powder. instead of soda, in
the proportion OF one large handful of
borax powder to about ten gallans of
boiling water; they save in soap nearly
half All the large washing establish
ments adopt the same mode. For laccs,
cambrics, &C., an extra quantity of the
powder is used, and for criuolincs (rc-
quiring to be made stiff, strong solu-
ton is necessary. Borax being a ncu-
trail salt does not in the slightest degree
injurc the texture of the linen; its effect
is to soften the hardest water, and there
fore it should be kept on every tojiet-ta-
ble TO the taste it is rather sweet, is
used for cleaning the hair, is an excellent
deutrifce, ard in hot countries Is used
in combination with tartaric acij and
bi-carbonate OF sodo as cooling lever
age. Good tea cannes be made with
hard water; all water may be made sof.
BY adding n teaspoonful Of borax powder
to all ordinary sized ketSlo of water, in
which it should boil The saving oftbc

vastating vice.

and pernicious practice alike destructive to the
mind and body.
You who have brought this afictiun upon
yourselves, why embrace the secret to your
hearts and vanly attempt to cure yourselves,
instead Of making immediate application to a
skillfull physician, who in n short time, would
restore you to perfect health and save you from
exposure which the fatal consequences render 1t
envitable.

to say few words. | have been placed

Of onr majesty, strength and freedom. New

them because they are compelled to do so by
stern necessity-we rally to our flag, and
support it, because we love aud cherish it as
the emblem of that freedom which points
man to higher faith, nobler existence, a

The flag the glorious stars and stripes,

1t will never cease to float in defeat. 1t will
