CoRNERED AGAN.-The Age says that Mas5a.
chusetts abolished slavery because 'she found
that it did not pay" The assertion if true,
which it Is not, would only show that Massachu-
setts had the sense, hundred years ago, to dis
cover and act upon plain economic truth,
which the rip Van WInkle" of the Age can't
even yet comprehend. Had the whole nation
acted VI on the assachusetts idea that slavery
don't p0y, we should have saved the thousands
OF millions of dollars we have just spent in put
ting down the Shareholders Rebellion, and have
been immeasurably richer in all other respects.

We have sought merely to show the difference
in his conduct in 1859 and since toe war; aud
we are convinced that his opposition to the
words of Mr.. NELL was not due to an abstract
adherence of war, but 10 hatred for any sym

IT Is WORTHY of remark that Connecticut, the
State which before all others the Conservatives
have hoped to carry, is the very first to ratify
the Constitutional amendment. Her lower
House. yesterday concurred with the Senate,
whereupon the Union men very appropriately

SOME of the Democratic organs are specially
exercised because the Union party processes to
make the Constitutional amendment the great
issue in the coming fall elections. II the De.
mocrats are opposed to such an issue, all they
have to do is TO support the amendment. That
will prevent its being an issue.

A TRUE GENTLEMAN.

A gentleman is not merely person
acquainted with certain forms and eti-
quettes of life, easy and self-possessed
in society, able to speak and act and
move in the world without awkward
ness, and free from habits which are
vulgar and in bad taste. A gentleman
is something much beyond this; that
which lies at the root OF all his ease
and refinement, and tact and power OF
pleasing, is the same spirit which lies
at the root of every Christian virtue. 1t
is the thoughtful desire of doing in eve
ry instance to others as he would that
others shoHld do unto him. He is con-
stantly thinking, not indeed how he
may give pleasure to others for the
mere sense of pleasing, but how he can
show respect for others--how he may
avoid hurting their feelings. When he
is IN society, be puIOusly ascer-
tains the position and relation of every
one with whom he is brought into con
tact, that he may give to each his due
honor, his proper position Hestudies
how he may avoid touching in conver-
sation upon any subject which may
needlessly hurt their feelings-how he
may abstain from any alluson which
may call up a disagrceable or offensive
association. A gentleman never al
ludes to, never even appears conscious
of, any personal defect, bodily deform-
ity, inferiority of talent Of rank, of
reputation, in the persons in whose So
ciety heis placed. He never assumes
any superiority to himself-never rid
icules, never sneers, never boasts, new
or makes a display of his own power
or rank or advantages-such as is i'm
piled in ridicule or sarcasm or abuse
as he never INDUCES in habits or tricks
or inclinations which may be offensive
to others. He fe als, as q mere member
of society, that he has no right to tres
pass upon others, to wound or annoy
them. And he feels, as Christian,
that they are his brothers-that, as his
brothers, they.are children, like him
self, of Cod members, like himself, of
Christ-heirs, like himself of tho
kingdom of heaven Quarterly Reriew,

Chicago After Cincinnati.

|. We published an item some days ago
from the Cincinnati Commercial where
in that paper claimed population
equal to that of Chicago and st. Louis
combined. Chicago bristles at this in
this style:
Last year 1000 houses were built
in Chicago, and this year, up to No
vember first, 5000 have been built, by
actual count, chicago is adding to her
adult population faster than CinGin-
natl and 81. Louis together. II there
had been the same degree of political
excitement in this city before the late
election as existed in Cincinnati, our
vote would have exceeded $4,000 But
the present population OF Chicago is
subject to no guess work. The emu
meration made by the School Board in
September returned 200,364 inhabi
tants within the corporate limits. Gin
cinnati and st. Louis. -.-both smart
places, according to age and opportu-
nities-must "knock dnuer" to the
young giant of the Northwest in popu-
lation and business. i le'u

leaving the pair alone. They profited
by his absence; and, just before the
steamer reached the capital, he went
suddenly to his state room and forced

within, and at the point of revolver,
but calmly, made the lover swear that

story About msss Rrssdon.

The London correspondent of the
World relates the following: When
Lady Audley,s Secret" was accepted
by the publishers it was settled and
advertised that it should appear in
three volumes, but when the book was
printed it was found that it contained
two volumes and ten pages. What
was to be done? The book was an.
nounced for certain day, and that GER.
tain day was near at hand. Not an
hour was TO be lost, and the tidings
were brokento Miss Braddon, who, af-
ter the first moment of surprise, asked;
"How long can you give me to fil up
the remaining blank pages?" Eight
days. at the utmost" "You shall have
them" said Miss Braddon.
The messenger left her with doubts
on his mind; but, true to her word
Miss Braddon had finished the desired
300 pages, and delivered them into the
hands of her publishers four days al.
terwards. Nor is This the most won
derful part OF tho affair; for not line
was interpolated 10 the volumes al.
ready printed. although the novel was
then complete in itself; but the author
ess started from the last sentence, and
continued with the same vigor, as If
she had intended, beforehand all that
which she was suddenly called upon to
add A similar parallel does not oc.
Cur in the annals of literature, and
therefore deserves to be known.

When vines are trained 10 stakes. or

other way besides the horizontal arm
system, the pruning is to be done with
an eye TO getting rid Of as much of tho
old wood as possible while leaving
enough of the most mature new wood
TO bear the crop Of fruit next season;
and IL is lot safe 10 cut away much of
the wood TO vines over four years old
that is, to reduce the canes less than
half the natural growth. 1t depends,
however, much on the variety 10 be
pruned. The Delaware, Catawba, and
some other varieties, will bear ,reduc-
ing to two or three canes, while the
Concord, Hartford Prolific, Diana and
other thrifty. growing varieties, would
be almost destroyed, if thus cut back,
when they are over four years Old
Up to that age, you eau cut back
vines, and they will recupera6e and

have extended their roots oyer wide

the old wood as the vine will beat.4-
When one understands that it is the
