How southern Merchants are Re-
ceigei at the North

The Charleston correspondent Of the Boston
Advertiser has had contided to him the fol-
lowing experience of Southern merchants
queried of the returning merchants on
the steamship how they were received in the
North. An Augusta man complained that he
could get no credit and that there was dis
position to be grinding and exacting One
Charleston man said, Z" asked for sixty days,
and got it without a word of objection" An
other told me that he asked for four months,
was given three, and treated like a gentleman
everywhere.
Another showed me the receipt for a debt
Of about fifteen hundred dollars, contracted
before the war, which he had paid in full
and he asked for four months on a bill of
eight thousand dollars, which was readily
given.
Still another settled his old Indebtedness
with one-third cash, and eight and twelve
months notes for the balance, while he cot
ninety days on three-fourths of his new bill.
One man said he had many friends in the
North, and they all new he had been a tho
rough rebel. He expected some taunts, but
tried to carry himself like gentleman, and
was courteousy received, even in Boston"

OccupatiOn.

A good, stout bodily machines being provi-
ded, we must be actively occupied or there
can be little happiness. TIA good, useful occu-
patton be not provided, it is so ungenial to the
human mind to do nothing, that men occupy
themselves Pe'7o"sy as with gaming; or fri
0o5o"%y, as with walking up and down a
street at watering place, and looking at the
passerS by; or m0Iecolently, as by teasing their
wives and children. 1t is impossible to SUD-
port for any length of time, a state of perfect
idenes3; and if You We're to shut man I'M
for any length of time within four walls. with
out occupation, he would go mad. If idleness
do not produce vice or maevolence. it COM
monty produces melancholy. A stakeholder
or farmer has no leisure for imaginary
Wretchedness their minds are usually hurried
away by the necessity Of 0ylicine external OBJ
Iects, and they are guaranteed nom mat curse
OF ldleness, the external disposition to think
of themselves. If we have no necessary oc-
cupation, it becomes extremely difficult to
make to ourselves occupations as entirely alb
sorbln8 as those which necessity imposes. The
profession which man makes for himself is
seldom more than half profession, and often
leaves the mind IN state of vacancy and in
occupation. We must lash ourselves M. how
ever, as well as we can, to notion of its
great Importance, and as thedispensing power
IS IN our hand, we must be very Jealous of re-
mission and of idleness. 1t may seem absurd
that a gentleman who does not live by the
profits of his farming should rise at six o'clock
IN the morning to look after his farm: or, if
botany be his object, that he should voyage
to Iceland m pursuit of it. He is the happier,
however, ior his eagerness; his mind is more
fully lmployed, and he is much more eliectu-
ally guaranteed from all the miseries of indo-
lence. Let every man be occupied, and oc-
enped IN the highest employment of which
his nature is capable, and die with the con-
ciousness that he has done las best.-Sidney
Smith,
