Business Rules.

An Eastern paper gives the following
seasonable and excellent rules for young
men commencing business, and others to
continue to practice:
The world estimates men by their sue
cess in life, and, by general consent, sue
cess is evidence of superiority.
Never under any circumstances assume
a responsibility you can avoid consistent
ly with yourself and others.
Base all your actions upon a principle
of right; preserve your integrity of char
acter, and in doing this never reckon on
the cost.
Remember that selfinterest ij more
likely to wrap your Judgment than all
other circumstances combined; therefore,
look well to your duty when your inter-
est is concerned.
Never make money at the expense of
your reputation.
Let your pocket expenses be such as to
leave balance in your pocket. Ready
money in friend in need.
Keep clear of the law; for, even if you
gain your case, you are generally loser.
Avoid borrowing and lending.
Wine drinking and smoking cigars are
bad habits; they impair tAe mind and
pocket, and lead to waste Of time.
Never relate your misfortunes, and ne
yer grieve over split milk.

FALSE ALARM IN CAMP-sIbENCE REIaNs
Last night we had "big scare" on,
OF the most unpleasant sensations of the
present campaign. At midnight while
the ebon canopy above US sent down its
deluglng torrents, aud the wind howled
fercely through the dense woods, there
was rushing of mounted orderlies, their
horses splashing through the deep mud
dashing to Gen. McPherson's headquar.
ters, with news that the enemy were
threatening an assault upon our left
Horses were quickly saddled, aide-de-
camps were unceremoniously aroused from
their damp couches, to gallop to the front
in the midst of the drenching rain.
Everything was speedily prepared to
welcome with all "the honors of war" the
chivalry, should they decide to call upon
US. In an hour or two the usual quiet
ness that had pervaded our lines was re-
stored, and with deep imprecations, and
the loudest of yankee" anathemas upon
the heads of Rebels in general and Joe
Johnston in particular, the "fys" were a.
gain filled with drowsy officers.
FEAR OF SICKNESS AMONG OUR SOLDIERS
Surgeons predict an unusual amount of
sickness among our troops if a heated
term follows this remarkable long spell of
cold and rainy weather. Many of our
brave men have nothing to protect them
from the inclement weather but rubber
and woolen blanket, which during such
storms as we have experienced since the
lst of June, afford little or no protection
Can our nation ever repay the debt of
gratitude due these gallant heroes who
face death and court danger to
save our nations liberties ? How cheer
fully they submit to these privations.-
lnnumerable pains and hardships endur-
ed, but not one complaint; no regrets,
but firm determination to conquer or
lie. If you would behold the quintes-
'ence of heroism, witness the conduct of
our privates on an arduous campaign, like
hose now in progress in Virginia and
Georgia. Well may we say,
They've mustered in their simple dress
For wrongs to seek a stern redress,
To right those wrongs, come veal or woe,
To perish-or o'ercome the foe''

Two Women Tarred and Feathered.- 80.
Damages Recovered.

On the evening Of the 2lst of March
last, an outrageous assault was perpetra-
ted upon the persons of two females resi-
ding at Youngstown, Ohio, named Loui-
sa Stearn, and her sister Emma C. Ross.
These women were charged with keeping
a dsreputable house, and a precoucerted
arrangement was made by number of
men and women of the town, to enter
their house by force, on the night above
designated, and tar and feather the OBJ
jectionable women. The scheme was
carried out to the letter, and the mob was
characterized by the grossest violence and
brutality
The men and women VINO participated
in this disgraceful outrage were general
ly disguised, but most of them were re-
cognized by the women assaulted, and
suit was subsequently entered against
thirty or more Of them, by Emma G.
Ross, who laid her damages at twenty
five thousand dollars. The case came on
for trial last week, and resulted in the ju-
ry rendering verdict in favor of the
plaintiffs for FIVE thousand dollars DANA
ges.

Perpetual Motion.

A Western correspondent of Harper's
Magazine gets off the following excellent
joke:
Il was travelling in Virginia by stage and
spending the night at country tavern, was
greatly entertained by the talk of stage
drivers and others sitting by the bar-room
fire in the evening. One old codger worked
off good thing. When l was down to the
fair good many years ago, said the old fel-
low, there was prize offered to the one
who would come the nearest to making a
perpetual motion. Well, all sorts of machines
of all shapes and materials, were fetched
there and shown and the makers of them
told how long they would run. AS was
walking about among them, saw sign o.
yer a tent: Gall who want to see perpetual
motion, and no mistake, meet here" So l
paid the admission fee, and went in. Very
soon queer little fellow got up on box
that served for platform, and addressed the
audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, am 60.
ing to exhibit to you the wonderfulest inven-
tion you have ever seen. Ithas been runnin,
for full three years, and if nobody stops it,
it'll run forever" Here he unrolled a strip
of paper "This is Printers Blu" And
as he held it up to the gaze of the people,
they admitted that, whether the bill was
paid or not, they had been sold''

Irish Economy.

At a late Assize in Ireland, two men
were condemned to be hanged On re.
ceiving their sentence one of them ad-
dressed the Judge, and said he had two
favors to ask him.
"What are they?" said his lordship.
"Plase your HONOR" said Pat, "will
you let me hang this man before | am
hanged myself?"
"What is the other request?" said the
Judge.
"Why please your honor" con tinued
Pat, "Will you let my wife hang me, for
she will do it more tinderly than the
hangman and then what she will receive
for the job will help the poor cratur to
pay her rent"

Southern Manufactures.

The editors of the New York Evening
Post have received copies of Charleston pa
pers, only two or three weeks old-printed
on small, dingy half sheets, which indicated
a sad lack of paper.making facilities. But
the bad paper is not the only evidence of q
poverty of invention or scarcity of material
for it happens that the staple of the editorial
comments of the Charleston Courier, throug-
hout two issues of that sheet, is a bitter
complaint at the failure the manufacturing
enterprises in the South. The self-sustain-
ing "nation" is unable, by its own confess
sion, to make the simplest articles in COM
mon use. We put together five paragraphs
CLEANED from the columns .f the Courier:
''Has any reader Of the Courier seen a
piece of glass ware of Confederate origin
After the very glowing accounts we read
months ago cf glass factories established or
contemplated, We hoped to be able TO see
through a glass some signs and tokens of at

cal independence No people can or should
expect to maintain independence by military
achievements alone, and without efforts at
selfreliance and supply in some of the arts

and manufactures .

we have generally depended on the Yankees. |
Is there any factory for supplying such i'm |
plements, instruments and machines now in |

"Any persons who have tried experiments
in oil-making would do service by giving re-
ports as to approved process and machinery
The prices of oils ofall kinds, vegetable and
animal, are still discreditably high, and the
supplies discreditably small, for country

"Aud you can write words, can't you?"
"Ycs, sir.
"Well, just think about something, and
write down what you think, and bring it

''Is that ALL"
"Yes, that will be composition. Now
j will excuse you for little while, and

looking about some time, he at last cam c

growing among some weeds. He stood
aud looked at it few moments, and i,
though he never dreamed he was to be-
come distinguished poet, his thoughts
began to come to him in simple ryhme,
and he wrote rhem down thus:
Mr.. Finney had turnip,
And it grew behind the barn;
And it grew, aud it grew,
But it never did any harm.
And it grew, aud it grew,
Till it could grow no taller;
Then Mr.. Finney pulled it up
And put it in the cellar.
And it lay, and it lay,
Till it there began to rot,
And bis daughter Susy washed it,
And she put it in the pot.
And it boiled, and it boiled,
As long as it was able;
Then his daughter Lizzie took itap,
And put it on the table.
Dir. Finney and his wife,
They both sat down to sup;
And they eat, and they eat,
Till they eat the turnip up
The boy brought in his composition,
and when the master came to read 1t, and
saw the evidence of talent in the boy, 1T
i s.id he could not refrain from tears.
Now then, boys and girls, don't get
frightened at the thought of a compost

soma 10000 members; in Wisconsin and

commencement in 1858, and has steadily in
creased in members and influence to the
present time. Its distinctive features, apart
from the main question ad7Ocated-total alb

and the young to its privileges and benefits,
and its social characteristics, seeking to
provide places of rational enjoyment in Op-
position to the excitement and temptations

perintendency of the Buffalo and Erie Sec
tion Of the Lake Shore Railroad. NJ more
capable, vigiIsnt and courteous officer is con-
neeted with the railroad management of the
country, and if his successor fills his place
in the public estimation, he will be fOrtu-
nate man. It is intimatsd that Mr.. Brown

lose him, we hope it may be SO. He will, in
due time, give it a high position in the rail-
