The Merchant and the Artisan

4 merchant of New York, during the
present war, made ? contract with me-
chani0 to supply him with = quantity Of
tin-cans Not long after this the price
of tin rose so much that the contractor
must lose money by completing the work
at the price agreed upon. However, he
said nothing, but went on delivering the
cans. When the first bill for part Of the
cans was received. the employer called
upon him and said
1 understand you arc losing money on
this job
Yes replied the artisan, but can
stand it; contract is contract, you
know
How much will you lose. asked the
merchant.
oh, no natter was the reply; 4
don't complain, and you ought not to
I insist on knowing
Well, since you desire it, said the ar.
tisan, L shall lose so much on the hun
dred,' naming the amount.
Well, sir said the noble-hearted man;
you must not lose this; it would not be
right. / shall add the amount to your
bill, and as the price Of material may still
rise, 1 will advance you the money fol
the whole of the contract, which no doubt
you can now use to advantage
The difference thus paid, to which the
honest contractor laid no claim, amount.
ed to five hundred dollars. The conduc,
Of both the merchant and the artisan il
lustrated something more than business
foaesty; it was Christian principle carri-
ed out in business.

The Maryland Troops and
General Warren.

A correspondent writing from General
Warren's Headquarters says:
A picture in late number of Hd,per's
Weekly, representing General Warren
rallying the Marylanders, allows ar in
ference prejudicial to the Maryland troops
in this corps. The facts of the case are
simply these: On the advance upon
Spottsylvania Court House, after passing
Todd's Tavern, the Second Division was
pushed forward to attack some rebel cav
airy, and in doing so came upon the en-
emy's strong long line of cntrenchments
covering the advance 10 the Court House,
and force of infantry supporting the
cavalry. Here the troops became tempo
rarily disorganized, the Maryland troops
no more than the rest. General Warren
seized the flag Of the 18th Massachusetts,
Regiment, whose color bearer had been
killed ana the flagstaff cut in two by a
cannon ball, ard reformed the division,
the men of which fought more gallantly
afterwards l make this statement here
to correct the erroneous impression The
sketch is calculated to create regarding
Che Maryland troops, who in that battle
and in subsequent ones have thus far ac-
quilted themselves with great credit. 1t
was in this affair, it will be remembered,
that the gallant General Robinson was
wounded and lost his leg, and to his be-
ing wounded chiefly owing the disorgan-
izatioi Of the division. Jtsticc compels
ME to add. however, that to the spiriting
presence and conduct of General Warren
on this occasion-to his coolness and
quiet presence of mind; to the daring in
trepidity with which, seizing this flag,
he placed himself at the head of the col
umh and led them into the fght-this
temporary falling back was prevented be-
coming a rout, and the days contest. in
stead of ending in disastrous defeat,
crowned with the brilliant ard decisive
victory It was.

Advice to Young Men.

A lady who signs herself "A Martyr
to Late Hours, offers the following sug-
gestions to young men:
Dear gentlemen between the ages of
eighteen and forty five,' listen TO few
words of gratuitous remarks. When you
make social call of an evening. go array
at reasonable hour. Say you come at
eight o'clock, ain hour and half is Ger
tainly as long as the most fascinating of
you in conversation can, or rather ought
to desire to use Ills charms. Ts't hours,
indeed, can be very pleasantly spent,
with music, chess, or other games, to
lend variety; but, kind sirs, by no means
stay longer. Make shorter calls, and
come oftener. A girl that is a sensible,
truc-hearted girl, will enjoy it better,
and really value your acquaintance more
Just conceive the agony of a girl who,
well knowing the feelings OF father and
mother upon the subject, hears the clock
! strike ten, and yet must sit on the edge
of her chair, in mortal terror lest papa
should put his oft-repeated threat into
execution, ttat Of coming down and in
viting the young man to breakfast. And
we girls understand it all by experience,
trd knoN what it is to dread the prog
nostic of displeasure. In such cases a
sigh of relief generally accompanies the
closing of the door behind the gallant,
and one don't get over the feeling of
trouble till safe in the arms of Morpheus.
Even then sometimes the dreams are
troubled with some phantom of an angry
father and distressed (for all parties,
mother, and all bccause young man
piu make a longer call than he ought to-
Now, young gentlemen fir ends, will
tell you wha. the girls will do. For an
hour and half they will be most irresis-
tibly charming and fascinating; then,
beware, monosyllabic responses will be
all you need expect, and wheh The limits
shall have been passed, startling query
shall be heard Coming down stairs Isn't
it time to close up?' you must eonsider it
a righteous punishment, and taking your
hat meekly depart, sadder and it is to
be hoped, wiser man. Do net get an
CRY, but the next time be careful to keep
within just bounds. We want to rise
early these pleasant mornings and improve
the shining hours,' but when forced to
be up at such unreasonable hours at night
exhausted nature will speak. and as
natural consequence, with the utmost
speed in dressing we can hardly get
down to breakfast in titne to escape
reprimand from papa, who don't believe
in beauS--as though he never was young
and mild, rsproving glance from
mamma, who understands a little better,
her poor daughters feelings, but must
still disapprovc outwardly, to keep up
appearances. And now, young men,
think about these things, and don't for
PHYS sake, don't throw down yoir paper
with a 'pshaw'--but remember the safe
side of ten.

Shallspcar to be Dilnisscd.

The Mayor: Of a well-known town in
England became the patron of the theatre
in 1850, and gives hundred guincas fol
a box for the Season. Tie Eberality did
not arise from any particular taste for
dramatic literature, but he paid thus
handsomely fof the box because he was a
liberal man, liked going to the play, and
lis predecessor in Office paid the same
sum, and he was not to be ontdone. He
attended every night was always pleas
ed, and very friendly with the manager,
till one night Mr.. Macready made his ap-
poarancc III " Hamlet" play which tie
Mayor had never seen and when in the
mad scene, Hamlet appeared with his
dress disordered, the Mayor took offence
at tho exhibition and declared to his wife
and family. who were il the box with
him, his conviction that the actor was
drunk, and he would have no such do
ings if he could help it. So, according
ly. he wen- aro6iia 70 the stage and wait
ed at the side till the end of the scene,
when he thus addressed the tragedian
"Mr. Macready, till tonight I looked
upon you as respectable man now ]
know you are given to drink, for no sober
man would go before respectable audi
cnce with his shirt frill hanging about
like that, and his stockings down. Why,
you ought to be ashamed Of yourself"
The tragcdiah, astonished at the ignor-
ancc of his patron, said:
"My dear sir, you are quite mistaken,
| assure you. only adhere to the auth
or's instruction IN regard to the disorder
ed dress, to show"
"Who wrote this playf" demanded
the Mayor.
"Good heavens" exclaimed Macrea-
dy, "don't you know Shakspear wrote
it?"
II cant say that I do" rnplied the
Mayor, "but | will take care that he
writes no more for this house as long as
l am Mayor, and so you may tell him?'

FREE LABOR IN NoRTif CAROLINA. -
The Ncwbern North Carolina) Times
of June 4th says; Old Shareholders them
selves, who are honest and candid, are
forced to admit the just and vastly super
ior claims of free labor. They see the
sluggish and ercrvatcd iabofirg popula-
ton, accustomed to live around them,
animated with new hopes and fresh vigor.
The vacant and idle lands lying in vast
tracts in every locality and county are
being reclaimed with remarkable rapidity
The result this year alone, within the old
counties OF Craven and Carteret, will be
perfectly astounding to the ancient friends
and sticklers of the worn out institution
Of slavery If these happy results can
be achieved at this early period, who can
estimate the radical and tremendous
changes which are sure to occur when all
the blessings of the free labor policy arc
sanctioned. protected and defended by
wise and human laws, adopted under d
free State constitution.

The art of constructing earthworks has
been wonderfully developed by our civil
war. The Richmond papers speak Of
Buffers works at Bermuda Hundred as
marvels Of scientific intricacy. They con-
sist of high carthTTorks, defended by q
ditch twelve feet wide and perfectly
impenetrablc abattis, the trees and branch
es composing the latter being thickly in
terwoven with wire. According to the
rebel account, had there been no garrison
defending this work # would have taken
the rebel troops two hours to get into the
intreacAments. Sorac of Lees works at
Spottsylvauia we're nearly as formidable,
.oadered so chiefly by the ingenuity dis
played in the abattis. Grants works in
the seigc of Vicksburg were wonders Of

HA correspondent of the Michigan
Farmer recommends the following RENE
dy for the healing of wounds upon hor-
ses: Saltpeter should be dissolved in
warm water, in such proportions as to be
moderately strong to the taste, and blue
stone added until the solution is slightly
tinged. This and nothing else, is to be
used as wash two or three times a day.
1t purifes the wound, destroys the proud
flesh, produces granrlations Immediately.
and heals the wound in a surprisingly
short time. I have Rad horse badly
kicked and otherwise hurt in midwinter
and midsummer, and their cure was equal
