LET EVERY MAN READ THIS.

We have probably all of us met with
instances with. which word heedlessly
spoken against the reputation of female.
has been magnifed by malicious minds
until the cloud has become dark enough
to overshadow her whole existence. To
those who are accustomed, not necessarily
from bad motives: but from thoughtless-
ness, to speak lightly of females, we rec.
ommend these hints as worthy of consid.
Grafton -
Never use lady's name in an i'm.
proper place, at an improper time, or in
mixed company. Never make assertions
about her that you think are untrue, or
illusions that you feel she herself would
blush to hear" When you meet with
men who do not scruple to make use of a
woman's name in reckless and unprin.
cipled manner shun them, for they are
the worst members of community-every
feeling Of humanity. Many good and
worthy woman's character has been forev.
er ruined and her heart broken by lie,
manufactured by villain, and repeated
where 1t should mot have been, and in
the presence of those whose little judg-
ment could not deter them from circu.
lating the foul and feDdish report. A
slandcr is soon propagatei and the small
est thing derogatory to woman's char
aeter will fly on the wings of the wind,
and magnify as it circuates, until the
monstrous weight crushes the poor, un.
conscious victim. Respect the name of
woman, for your mothers and sisters are
women; and as you would have their fair
name untarnished, and their life unem.
bittered by the slanderers' biting tongues,
heed the i'll your own words may bring
upon the mother, the sister, or the wife
Of some fellow creature. n u

HOW BEGAN LIFE.

| began life by running away from
home. Boileau, we are told, was driven
into his career by the hand of fate and
the Peck of turkey. Attila started in
life with no other cause and capital than
an old sword, which he was adroit enough
to palm off for the divine weapon Of Mars ;
and Robespierrc owed his political career
to wetting his stockings-and there heard
"werds which burn" which fred his soul

Ess The principal reason for the scare

Eg The principal reason for the scare
ity of cents, when SO many of them are
coined every month, is that they command
a premium with those who are compelled
TO use them, and so they are boarded and
sold for the premium; and when disbsrs-
ed are boarded again, and so on. The
remedy is to stop paying premium, and
instead of that deposit greenbacks in sums
not less than $35 with James Pollock, the
director of the United States mint at
Philadelphia. DO this and Mr.. Pollock
will send an equivalent in nickel curren-
cy as soon as possible, and there will then
be no temptation to hoard them and ev-
