MR.. GARRIsoS's LEcrURE.-wm. Lloyd Gar
rison read his piece 20 a very fair audience at
Masonic Hall last night. The two races were
there In the presence Of one another-the
whites being In excess Of the col0red citizens.
This must have been very agreeable 10 Mr.
Garrison, for he Is quite sure that IL Is a vul-
gar prejudice which makes a distinction be-
tween the Caucasian and the Ethiopian, on ac-
count Of color. The negroes certainly had all
the privileges last night that the whites had,
for they We're permitted TO lit and hear Mr..
Garrison. We take IL that Mr.. Garrison Is
sincere and that, therefore, he was gratited at
the mixed character Of his audience. Who
ever il familiar with Mr.. Garris0ns cause and
has read his illusions knows precisely what
the lecturer said last night. Mr.. Garrison Is
an elderly looking man with a benevolent east
Of countenance, aud is not in any sense bad
looking man. A rehash Of the editorial pub
lished in the LiberdtOr.

tations from John q. Whittier's poetry made

ANOTHER ROBBERY.-The dwelling of Col.
y. b. Palmer, No. 81 West Maryland street, was
entered early yesterday morning, by some Of
the many burglars who seem just now 10 be
particularly numerous and prOporti0nably
daring. They entered by means Of false keys
passed through the hall and up the stairway
10 the second floor. BY means Of false keys
they entered Mr.. l'almer's sleeping cham
ber Noiselessly did they abstract from under
the pillow Of Col. Palmer his gold watch and
chain, and his wallet, containing $50 in treas
ury notes. The enterprising rogues were de-
termined that they would make their search
through, and next assembled 10 the third story.
Opening one Of the rooms where two gentle
men were sleeping; the door turned somewhat
heavily on its hinges, and one Of the gentlemen
was awakened by the noise. He Immediately
arose to an upright position, when the robbers
bet6ok themselves to a hasty exit. Not hear
ing any thing farther or seeing any thing out
Of the way, the gentleman again addressed
himself 10 his couch. The robbers. of course.
made of with their booty. Neither Col Palmer
nor any Of the occupants Of the house had any
knowledge Of the fact that a robbery had been
committed until morning, when arising from
their sleep, the open doors, and ransacked
premises revealed the fact that the robbers had
been there. Can not something be done TO cur.
tail this business of Misunderstanding.

THE EDITOR.

A correspondents of the RalM NJ 10 York
er writing Of the editor of modern times
says
A discussion now and then arises whether
the news is a singular OF plural noun OF,
practically whether we should say, what is
the news, or what are the new. This
question is always open; but that the dissemi-
nator Of news, that the editor himself is of
the plural number, admits of no question
he is duplicated and reduplicated. He re-
CARDS himself as plural He speaks Of him
self as we, like kings. He follows the advice
Of the senior Weller to his son Sarnivel--
That's right Samiyel, spell it with a We
spell it with a wei
The Editorship is a fourth profession.
Once it was occupied by some harums sea-
rum renegade, who had either been expelled
from College for his pranks or dropped out
for his lazinesfs or BIZ some broken down
lawyer or unsuccessful merchant The term
editor was a synonym for shiftless, careless
jolly, bright, hopeful, rollicking blade, who
at Scrape was always in at the death, and
out at the elbows People cried as poor as
arat, or .as poor as an editor with equal
proprirty. Those days are past, Editorship
is now fourth estate, honored and rewarded
The editor is educated, energetic, particular
in his dress, nice in his tastes, and often rich.
He has brains in his head, good meat on his
board, and money in his pocket. Heis hon
ored, trusted, and-believed
But the Editor needs greater improve
ment He needs higher idea of culture,
and better tone of morals. He should be
something loftier than the traditional knight
Of Che quill and scissors He should be
something more than "the snapper-up of
unconsidered trifes - or the mere retailer
of other men ideas. That trenchant wea-
pom of his, the pen which can make the
worse appear the better reason, should be
welded always in the cause of Truth and
Right. He should stoop only to liftup 9TH
ers, never 10 depreciate himself. He s!.cgld
be ready to stem as well as to swell the tide
of public sentiment He should Sosh en-
body and direct public opinion He should
by superior discernment safely lead the pub
JIG mind, when he cannot safely follow.
II would rather be the pilot fish that
guides the whale, than the great mass of
spouting bluber behind.

A CAPITAL RATH.

An open window, with the direct rays of
the sun coming in, viii be good for the little
one. On hot summer day, TO lay it down
near the window, quite nude, and let it lie
for some minutes where the rays of the sun
may fall upon its skin, viii give it new life.
There is vital relation between sunshine and
a vigorous human being. Seclusion from
sunshine is one of the greatest misfortunes
of civilized life. The same cause which
makes petato vines white and sickly when
grown in dark cellars, operates to produce
the pale, and sickly girls that are reared in
our parlors Expose either to the direct
rays of the sun, and they begin to show col
or, health and strength. When IN London,
some years ago, ] visited an establishment
which had acquired wide reputation for
the cure of those diseases in which prostra-
ton and nervous arrangement were promi-
nent symptoms | soon found the secret of
success in the use of sunshine The slate
roof had been removed and a glass one sub
stituted The upper story was divided into
sixteen small rooms, each provided with
lounges, washing apparatus, etc. The pa
tient on entering each his little apartment,
removed all his clothing, and exposed him
self to the direct rays of the sun. Lying on
the lounge and turning over from time to
time, each and every part of the body was
exposed to the life giving rays of the sun.
Several London Physici ans candidly confes-
sed to me that many cases. seemingly only
waiting for the shroud were galvanized into
life and health by this process Dio

1t is easier to be a good business man
than poor one. Half of the energy dis
played in keeping ahead as is required in
catching up when behind viii save credit,
give more time to attend to business, and
add to the profits and reputation of those
who work for gain. Be prompt Keep your
word. Honor your engagements. IF you
promise to meet man or do a certain thing
at a certain moment be ready at the appoin-
ted time. If you have work to do-do it at
once, cheerfully and therefore speedily and
correctly. If you go out on business, at
tend promptly to the matter at hand then
as promptly go about your business. Do
not stop to tell stories IN business hours.
If you have place of business, be found
there when wanted. No man can get rich
by sitting around saloons, playing old sledge
euchre, peanuckle, or other games for whis-
ky. Never too" on business matters. If
you have to labor for living, remember
that one hour in the morning is better than
two at night. If you employ others, be on
hand to see that they attend to their duties,
and to direct v ork to an advantage. Have
order-sys system-regula -promptness---
iberality Do not meddle with business you
know nothing of. Whatever you do, do
well. Never buy an article simply because
/
Trade is money. Time is money. A good
business habit and reputation are always
money. Make your place of business pleas
ant and attractive, then stay there to wait
on customers. Never use quick words or
allow yourself to make hasty and ungentle-
manly remarks to those in your employ, for
to do so lessons their respect for you, and
your influence over them. Help yourself
and others viii helpyou. Be faithful over
the interests confded in your keeping, and
all in good time your responsibility will be
increased
Do not be In too great haste to get rich.
Do not build till you have arranged and laid
a good foundation Do not, as you hope or
work for success, spend time in loafng, if
your time Is your own, business will surely
suffer if you do. IF it is given to another
for pay, it belongs to him, and you have no
more right to steal it than you have to steal
money. BE obliging. Strive to avoid harsh
words and personalities. Do not kick every
stone in the path. More miles can be made
in day BY going steadily on than by stop
ping to kick. Pay as you 60. A man of
honor respects his word as he does his bond.
Ask but never beg. Help others when you
can without convenience to yourself But
never give when you cannot afford to, sim
ply because 1t is fashionable. Learn to say
no. No necessity of swapping it out dog
fashion, but firmly and respectfully. Have
but few confdan nts. The fewer the better
Use your own brains rather than others.
Learn to think and act for yourself Be
honest. Be vigilant. BE active and liberal
Keep ahead, rather than behind the times.
Young man-cut this out, and if there is
folly in the argument let us know.
The above rules have done us good sery-
ice and are given as hints to the young men
of the country who must be either loafers
or gentlemen, business men or bankrupts,
respected or uncared for, as they themselves
may determine. .-Brick Pomerog

BETTER Burn THEM.

An old card player, who had spent the
best part of his life in this senseless employ
ment, had become so habituated to hand
ling these bits of pasteboard, that wherever
he was, or however engaged, he would bt
constantly moistening his thumb, and invol-
unfairly going through the motions of deal
ing out cards. If the body had become
such slave to this amusement, what must
have been the case Of the immortal soul
A young acquaintance, who had just learn
ed to play, was so elated with his first sue
cess that he went out and bought pack ot
cards He called, on his way home, and
showed them to the old player, who fingered
them over familiarly for a minute, and then
returned them, saying, 20 well, you had
better go home and burn them. .
The young man was amazed at such ad-
vice from such source, and it set him tx
thinking seriously Surely if any one wa,
competent to Judge of the worthlessness ot
such pursuits he was, and his opinion made
so deep an impression upon the mind of the
youth that he never played again.

tlemen to wait on them Look at his
coarse hands they are too big for a kid
glove-there is not pair imported of suf
hclent size for him. III never marry him,
and you may tell father so.
But, my dear daughter, Tom Emery has
only small salary and you need never think
your father will countenance him. Why,
child, should you slight a mechanic p
Your father was a journeyman carpenter
once.
Mother, I'll hold my ears if you tell me
that again. I've been mortified enough to
hear father tell every young gentleman that
comes here, about his beginnings, and being
bound to old Mr.. Gragg as an apprentice |
really left the room the other evening, it
was so painful. Certainly he was master
builder before he retired, and never worked
any he only rode round in his carriage, and
superintended his workmen. y
But, my dear, he first earned his horse
and carriage by hard labor. y
And what good viii all his money do, if
he boards it up, and we girls cannot dress
ike other people2 I'm sure, I'm tired to
death with hearing about how you used to
live, | want to live wei! now, and keep up
with the fashions.
IF you should accept Mr.. Sinclair, Hitty
| have no doubt but your father would give
you handsome house, and furnish it beau
tifully, and do everything you wish but if
you disobey him and marry worthless rake
you alone must bear the consequence but /
enjoin it upon you, child, to ''look before
you leap.
Sinclair was the son of worthy mechan,
ic and chose his father occupation but he
was well educated and had just offered him
self to Hitty, the retired master-buildeTs
daughter, and many people thought he had
ma lie great mistake.

Her husband replied that Hitty should

The remainder Of the story is easily told.
Tom and Hitty eloped were married, and
went to a distant city, where Tom obtained
situation as clerk, which he filed credita-
bly, for year and a half, when his employ
ers found that Tom had been robbing them
to enable him to keep up with the world,
because his salary was too small to bear the
family expenses, for before this time child
had been born unto them Tom was i'm
mediately discharged, and being unable to
obtain another situation, took to drinking so
much that he is now confirmed drunkard.
They are now living in miserable condi-
ton, with barely enough breat to eat, which
Hitty obtains by sewing, and appearances do
not indicate any improvement. Hitty has
not written to her parents since the elope-
ment, so they know nothing of her wherea-
bouts and situation in life. Truly, the way
Of the transgressor is hard y
Mr.. Sinclair, the mechanic, has been
married lately, to handsome, well educated
and industrious young lady, whose parents
are not so wealthy as Hitty's. He is now
carrying on business, becoming wealthy, and
living happily.
