HOW TO PROSPER IN BUSINESS.

In the first place make up your mind to
accomplish whatever you undertake; decide
uEon some particular employment; perse-
we're in it. All difficulties are overcome by
diligence and assiduity.
Be not afraid to work with your own
hands and diligently too "A cat in gloves
catches no mice
He who remains in the mill, grinds; not
he who goes and comes.
Attend to your business and never trust
to another. : A pot that belongs to many
is i'll stirred and worse boiled.
Be frugal. That which will not make a
pot will not make a pot lid. y
Save the pence and the pounds will take
care of themselves.
Be abstemious. "Who dainties love shall
beggars prove.
Rise early. The sleeping fox catches no
poultry. Plough deep while sluggards
sleep, and you win have corn to sell and
keep
Treat every one with respect and courte-
sy. Everything is gained and nothing lost
by ciyilty. Good manners insure success
Never anticipate wealth from any other
source than labor; especially never place de-
pendenee upon becoming the possessor of an
inheritance. He who waitsfor dead men 5
shoes may have to go for long time bare
foot, He who runs after shadow has a
weariesome race.
Above all things never dispair "God is
where he was" Heaven helps those who
help themselves
Follow implicitly these precepts, and moth
ing can hinder you from prospering.

Proposed Union of the Anglican, Roman
and Greek Churches.

The New York Erpress has an article on
this vexed question-the proposed union Of
the Anglican, Roman and Greek churches
under the auspices of Rev. DR. Pusey, who
seems to be using all his powers to bring
about union with the Church of Rome. It
appears that not only Is it advocated by DIR.
Pusey, but many of the most eminent in
fuential scholars and the ologians attached
to the establishment are giving it counte-
nance And what is to be especially noted
Is the further fact, that the proposition is
apparently finding marked favor with some
OF the most eminent OF the Roman Catholic
hierarchy themselves, in England as well as
in France
The ways and means of promoting such a
Union, ofcourse are bur dimly foreshadowed.
On both sides the utmost cautionis observed
with prudent avoidance of specific details
which indicates lively conviction in the
minds of both parties of the extreme delica-
cy Of the subject, to say the least of it.
This much however, seems to be certain
that at the very start both sides must be
prepared to surrender something both as
regards things temporal and things spiritual
For example, the Anglican Unionists, as
represented by DE-. Pusey, will have to give
up their prejudice against praying for the
Saints, while the Romanists must abandon
the dogma of the immaculate conception of
the Blessed Virgin The Anglicans must
-eserye the Tridentine Greed, not as at pre-
sent interpreted, indeed, but in such a way
as to render it capable of acceptance by the
English Church. while the Romanists must
abandon the universal primaey of, the Pope
that is TO say, they must be content to have
him reduced to the level of Bishop-not
the head of the Visible Church on Earth,
but simply as Bishop OF Rome, neither hay-
ing nor exercising powers superior to those
which may be lawfully claimed or exercised
by other Bishops
The Re-Unionist, however, do not propose
to stop here Some of them propose to
bring in the Greek Church also, and to this
it is contended that there are no obstacles
in the way that need b. deemed insuperable
with men imbued with a sincere spirit OF
Christian unity 1t is a well known fact
that some such overtures to the Greek
Church have already been made, on the part,
not only of the English Church, but by the
Episcopal Church in The United States, -
and with degree of encouragement, we are
informed by those wlo favor the project,
justifying the expectation of ultimate sue

THEY ALL WILL DO so.

A young man, the son Of a well to do far
mer, had the misfortune to become deeply
enamored of young lady, and after brief
courtship, proposed and was accepted. But
what was his surprise one evening, when
entering the parlor with the unceremonious
freedom OF young lover, at discovering his
young lnamoFata upon the sofa, her arms
around the neck Of neighboring youth,
and her lips in such blissful proximity to his
as to convince our hero that matters were
tearfully in earnest. Ina rage and mortifca-
ton he rushed homeward, arriving Just in
time to surprise his only sister, the piaus
wife Of the village minister squeezing to
kill young disciple Of Blaekatone Near
ly frantic at such unlocked for disclosures
among people he had believed but little low
er than the angels, he made bold dash for
the barn, running directly upon his mother,
kissing the old family physician, who had
stolen march upon her as she was look
ing after the poultry. This was too much,
and with groan the young man turned un-
discovered, away, resolved to pass the night
with his grief, beneath the stars, fearful of
further revelations should he venture be-
meath the shelter Of another roof The
morning encouraged him, however, and
dew-drenched and sorrowful he sought his
home, when his mother, with true maternal
solicitude, questioned him as to the cause of
his sad looks; whereupon he related the IN
constancy Of his fair bethrothed, receiving in
reply the gratifying intelligence that she
was good -for-nothing, miserable huzzy,
and he must not speak to or notice her a
gain, one so wholly unworthy
But mother, he continued, fslteringly,
that is not all. y

why, when | ha 3tened home, what

mother: my child? Tie ungresteful wicked

home and cared for husband and children?
| will do it no longer; such conduct is infa-
mous-and to be disgraced She shall leave

Bnt this Is not the worst, mother.

peated exhibitions of sin, / left the house,

The Negro snffrage BilI.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is
The announcement that vote would be
taken this afternoon, upon the question Of
colored suffrage, drew large crowd to the
galleries of the House and caused full at
tendance of members The closing of the
debate was given to Governor Boutwell,, of
Massachusetts, who, in brief speech, en-
tranced the House and galleries by one of
the finest oratorical efforts that has been
witnessed In the House for many years.
While all parties have conceded to him
much ability, it remained for his speech to-
day to give him the palm as one of the very
finest orators and ablest statesmen in this
Congress-
The motion TO postpone, then the motion
to recommit to the Committee with instrue-
tions to amend were voted down. the Dem
ocrats voting against both in order to get q
vote upon the original bill to strike out the
word white wherever it appears in the
District Laws. This tnrn of affairs brought
the issue down to point which was met
promptly by the Republicans voting almost
solid for the bin (ll6 votes), aud the Union
Democrats from the Border States, and the
Northern Democrats, numbering in ali 81
votes, against it, Raymond, of New York,
voted for the bill on its fnal passage.
0nthe announcement of the vote there
was loud clapping o. hands by the mem
bers on the Republican side, and the gale
ries Joined in the applause The Speaker S
gayel fell loudly, and ne announced that if
members would not keep the rules adopted
bY themselves we should not attempt to en-.
force them on galleries. Amid much CON
fusion and excitement an adjournment was
carried

ABACHELOR,S DEFENCE.

The wretch who wrote the followin has
very wisely, for his sWR safety, omitted 10
give Us any clue by which he could be iden-
tilted;
Bachelors are styled by married men who
have put their foot into it, as only half per
fected beings, cheerless vagabouds, but half
a pair of scissors, and many other titles are
given them; while, on the other hand, they
extol their state as one of perfect bliss, that
change from earth to heaven would be
somewhat of doubtful good IF they are so
happy, why don they enjoy their happiness
and hold their tongues about it? What do
half the men get married for? Simply that
they may have some one to darn their stock
iugs, sew buttons on their shirts, and trot
their babies; that they may have somebody,
as married man once said, to pull off their
boots when they are little balmy. These
fellows are always talking of the loneliness
of bachelors. Loneliness indeedl Who is

WHAT A NEWSPAPER DOES FOR
NOTHING

The following article should be read and
pondered well by every man who takes a
newspaper without paying for it.
My observation enables me to state, as
fact, that the publishers of newspapers are
more poorly rewarded than any other class
of men In the United States who invest an
equal amount of labor, capital and thought
They are expected to do more service for less
pay. to stand more sponging and dead head
ing, to puff and defend more people with
out fee or hope Of reward, than any other
class.
They credit wider and longer, get oftener
cheated suffer more pecunlary loss, are of
tener the victims of misplaced confidence
than any other calling in the community.
People pay printer bill with mnch more
reluctance than any other. 1t goes harder
with them to expend dollar on valuable
newspaper, than ten on a needless gswgaw;
yet every body ayails himself of the use of
the editor pen and the printer ink
How many professional and political le-
putations and fortunes have been made and
sustained by the friendly though unrequited
pen of the editor? How embryo towns and
cities have been brought into notice and
pulled into prosperity by the press? How
many railroads now in successful operation,
would have feundered but for the lever
that moves the world? In short what
branch of industry or activity has not been
promoted, stimulated and defended by the
press2
And who has rendered it more than
miserable pittance for its mighty services?
The bazaars Of fashion and the haunts IF
dissipation and appetite are thronged with
an eager crowd, bearing gold in their palms
and the commodities there needed are sold
at enormous profits though intrinsieally
worthless, and paid for with scrulmlols
punctuality; while the counting room Of the
newspaper is the seat Of Jewing, cheapen-
ing, trade, orders and pennies. 1t is made

THE REAL INTEREST OF THE
FARMER.

Nothing can be more absurd then the no
tionthat the interests ofthe manufactures are
inimical to those ofthe agricultural classes.
The latter want first good market for their
crops, and second, reasonable prices for the
articles they consume. No one can say that
the farmer is much the better for depend
ing on foreign market for his crops, as the
vast spaces to be traverscd snd the compe-
tition encountered abroad from the products
of Russia, ETC., necessitate the appropria-
ton of the greater part fthe money realiz-
ed abroad from the sale of our crops to pay
the expenses of transportation.
So much is this the case, that large por-
tions of the western crops will not even bear
the cost of freight to the seaboard. Ifman-
ufactures can be established all over the
west, home market of steadily increasing
magnitude viii be provided for the western
crops, and then the greater part of the prof
its will insure to the farmer. So far, then,
as the sale of his crops IS concerned, it is 70
the farmers interest to encourage home
manufactures, since they furnish him with
a better and more reliable market for his
products. Next, as to the obtaining Of
manufactured gaods at reasonable rates,
that is the very object of establishing facto-
ries at his own door Since, however, the
products of these factories may in the be-
ginning be higher, they must in the end be-
come lower thar the prices of goods sent
over thousands Of miles of land or sea, with
the profits of many different landings ac-
cumulated upon them before reaching the
consumer. Its clear, therefore, that it is
to the interest OF the farmer to encourage
protection --Phila. NJ liner

THE DILEMMA.


Now, by the blessed Paphian queen,
Who heayes the breast of sweet sixteen;
By every name / cut on bark
Before my morning star grew dark;
BY Hymen's torch, by Capid's dart,
BY all that thrills the beating heart;
The bright black eye, the melting blue,-
] cannot choose between the two.
s-s
had vision IN my dreams;-
] saw row of twenty beams;
From every beam rope was hung,
In every rope lover swung;
asked the hue of every eye,
That bade each luckIess lover die;
Ten shadowy lips said, heavenly blue,
And ten accused the darker hue.
asked a matron which she deemed
With fairest light of beauty beamed;
Sheanswered, some thought htboth were fair
Give her blue eyes and golden hair.
might have liked her Judgment well,
But, as she spoke, she rnng the bell,
And all her girls, nor small nor few,
Came marching in,-their eyes were blue.
| asked maiden; back she flung
The locks that round her forehead hung,
And turned her eye, a glorious one,
Bright as diamond in the sun,
On me, until beneath its rays
| felt as if my hair would blaze;
She liked all eyes but eyes of green;
She looked at me; what could she mean?
All! many lids Love turks between
Nor heeds the coloring of his screen;
And when his random arrows fly,
The victim falls, but knows not why.
Gaze not upon his shield of jet,
The shaft upon the string is set;
Look not beneath his azure veil.
Though every limb were cased in mail.
Well, both might make martyr break
The chain that bound him to the stake;
And both, with but single ray,
Can melt our very hearts away;
And both, when balanced, hardly seem
To stir the scales, or rock the beam;
But that is dearest, all the while,
That wears for US the sweetest smile.
