lie says the original term for that style
OF proboscis was =" roaming nose," indi-
eating disposition on tie part Of the
possessor to roam about, poking his nose
into other peoples business. | am in
clined to the former explanation. and
consider the latter a slander upon a laroc
and generally respectable class of COM
munity. :
1t is not considered polite in good
society for one gentleman to wiring ano-
ther gentleman's nose with his thumb
and finger, though different views are
entertained upon the subject in different
localities. In Arkansas it is no unusual
thing, for man 10 chew his frien1's nose
offin the most urbane and gentlemanly
manner, when little heated in debate,
a taste that certainly admire.
The shape of the nose leads people off
on the wrong scent, frequently, in judg-
ing character. individuals are often
called naughty, proud, "stuck up" in
short, when in fact they are quite the re-
verse, and have merely got stuck up

impunity simply because he has a snub
nose, nor are pug noses inyaribly attend
ed by disposition to pugnacity.
Snuff takers are the only ones, my
hearers, who are literally sled by the
nose" They have been known to pinch
themselves for the necessaries of life in
orderto give their noses the accustomed
pinch. It is no rnu la thing to see an
aged couple closing a life of usefulness
by degenerating into a pair of snuffers"
and snuff themselves out at last. Upon

My young hearers, you see numbers
about you every day, whose noses hare

taking to themselves the hue of the red
pepper pod-dead ripe. Remember that
the puggiest of pug noses is far more
respectable than bottle nose, and that
nose painting is the most extravagant
and ruinous way in which you can cult
vate an acquaintance with the fine arts.

The DEMOCRATIC COURSE INEVITABLE.
1T was looked for, by the Republicans
rs well as by the Conservatives and bet
ter class Of Democrats, that having lost
everything which they staked in the,
late war, and in the campaign OF four
wears ago, the Democratic party would
have made an effort to lift itself out of
the slough of fdespond" atits late .convo-
cation in New York, by reforming its,
principles and selecting its least objection
able men Tor standard bearers in the COM
ing campaign. Instead, of doing so, how
ever, the party plunged still deeper into
the mire, both in its platform and Its
nominations, thus conclusively showing
that the course of the Democracy is in
evitably downward. Like the copper
head soldier who, when skedadling from
the Gettysburgh battlefield was ordered
to stop, by an officer, exclaimed, EStor,:
thunder !! I can't stop, I'm .demoraE.zed
nv minds all tore up, the Democracy
are so ''demoralized'' and all store up"
that they can't heir 1t,

Give Gud His Day.

Reader, do not be q robber. He that
steals breaks Gods eighth commandment.
Above all do not rob God. Sunday is
Gods property. Gire God his day.
l do entreat you, for your souls sake
not to profane the Sabbath, but to keep
it holy. Do not buy and sell, or idfc
your time on sunday. Let not the ex-
ample of all around you, let not the in
vitation of companions, let none of these
things move you to depart from this set
tied rale, that Gods doy shall be gice''
to God
The Sabbath is one of the greatest
blessings which God has given to man.
Do not make Il bad use of this blessing.
He that cannot give God his Sunday is
unfit for heaven. Heaven is an eternal
Sunday. Oh, while you live, ,gjce God
his day.
Once give over caring for the Sabbath
and in the end you will give over caring
for your soul. The steps which lead to
this conclusion are easy and regular
Begin with not honoring Gods day, and
you will soon not honor Gods house
cease to honor Gods house, and by and
by You will give God no honor at all
Let man lay the foundation of having
no Sabbath and / am never surprised II

1t is remarkable saying of Judge Hale,
" Of all the persons who were convicted
of capital crimes while he was upon the
bench, lie found only a few who would
not confess on inquiry, that they began
their career OF wickedness by neglect
of the Sabbath.
Reader, resolve that by Gods help
you will always keep it holy. Honor ii

A MoruER's REwARD-A geptlema

A MOTHERS REwARD.-A gentleman
was once visiting a cottage where the
mother of the family was trne and ear
nest Christian During the converse
tion he remarked how happy she must be
to see all of her children land there were
eight of them) so early brought to tbeiF
SaYior's feet, and following him SO close
ly in their daily lives and he enquired
whether she had adopted any peculiar
method in their religious Instruction.
The poor woman replied that she
only done what every Christian had
ought to do; but on her visitor pressing
her still further she continued with much
humility:
81 think may say / nere1 fed my In
FAINT children without praying in my
heart that God would give me grace to
nourish them as inheritors of the king
dom of heaven. Whilst was dressing
them in the morning used to beseech
my heavenly Father to clothe them with
the robe of Christ's righteousness when
prepared their meals | asked God to
feed their souls with the true bread from
heaven, and to give them to drink of that
living water, which spriDgeth up unto
life everlasting when | took them to
the Lords house, / prayed to him to
sanctify them and make them temples of
the Holy Chest when they left my side
for school | followed them withumv eyes
praying that their lives mighs-be like
the path of the Just, which shineth more
and more unto the.perfect day and in

rived, used in silence to ask their Heay-
cnly Father to bless them and keep them

for her patient waiting upon God, richly

The Woop PAPER-The patent of the
American Wood Paper Company (gener-
ally known as Mellier's patent)expires on
II he Ist of next month, and the owners
are making strenuous exertions to OBJ
tain an extension for seven years. We
trust they will not succeed. They have
( misused their privileges i'll such a way
as to create an odious monopoly in the
manufacture of AN article OF prime neeess--,
ity for the whole country and it would
be against public policy to grant re-
newal. They claim the exclusive right
to use alkalies in subdHirg straw to be
made into paper, and as straw papers
for printing and wrapping are now very
largely in use, and mast continue so
while rags are dear and scarce, the pa
tent gives them an opportsnity OF Keep
ing the price at an extrayagant figure
and thus in measure checking the diff
fusion of intelligence From every small
mill these patentees exact royalty of
$40, 900 cash, and five-eights of a cent a
pound on the manufactured product !,
besides which, we are credibly informed
that they compel all manufacturers who
buy their rights to sign bond agreeing
to- stop their mills whenever ordered
Thus the company secures an absolute
control of the paper market, which cir
cumstance alone ought to be enough to
defeat their application for an extension
of the patent

Almost O. million and half dollars
worth of real estate. consisting prin-
cipally of vacant lots in this city and
Brooklyn, was sold at the Exchange
yesterday. A lot 25xl0O5 feet, on
the Southwest corner of Sixth Ave
nue. and Fifty-ninth street, was sold
for $36, 900. So great sale of real
property never took place in this city
on one day before, and rarely, if
ever, have such prices been realized.
One after another, the old Knicker-
booker estates ore passing from the
possession of the ancient families
and being divided up among our
merchant princes, capitalists and
spectators. Two of these estates
have been thrown into the market
this season, and the prices received
have been such that the few remain
ing ones will, without doubt, soon be
placed under the hammer. What is
to be the ultimate value of real es-
tate in this city, is yet an unsolved
problem; 5ut hundreds of our citi-
zens are still eagerly investing their
surplus funds in the sand and gravel,
brick and mortar of Manhattan
Island, as though they still expected
q rise equal to that which has taken
place in the Talman estate sold YES
terday, the whole of which was Of
fered in 1849 for the merely nominal
sum of $4,000. Surely, New York
will soon become too expensive q

FATAL CAsuA1rY-KrLI1Na OF THE

FATAL CASUALTY OF THE
Rev. JESSE MoKGAN, OF SUMTER
A singular casualty occurred in the
town of Sumter, on the night Of the
9TH instant, resulting in the death of
Rev. Jesse Morgan, an old resident
of that town. Mr.. Morgan was the
proprietor of & lanyard, which has
been repeatedly visited and robbed
during the past winter by gang of
rogues, who have even extended their
depredations to his dwelling house,
and involved him in very serious
losses To guard his property against
similar future inroads, he had ar
ranged a trap on the spring-gnn prin-
ciple, in the main building at the
tannery in which he kept his stock;
and on closing up for the night, it
was his habit to place the cords in
proper position to insure an alarm in
case an entrance was forced. He had
tried the same arrangement few
years ago, under like provooation,
and it then resulted in the detection
and arrest of a negro burglar, who
was we'll peppered with small shot,
but IN no way seriously injured; for
Mr.. Morgan has often declared that
he used the smallest charges of pow
der and bird shot, as his object was
not to take life, but simply to mark
the rogucs so as to identify them.
1t seems that on this occasion he
was later than usual in closing the
establishment, aud prevented proba-
bly, by the increasing darkness from
the exercise of his usual care in ar
ranging his burglar detective, the
horseman's pistol used for the pur-
pose was accidentally discharged.
lodging the entire load in vital part
of his body. After being thus wound
ed, he seems to have retained sufficient
strength to leave the building, lock-
ing the door and returning the key
to his pocket, where it was afterwards
found; but he soon after became ex-
hausted and sunk to the ground near
a box in the yard. When discover
ed few hours afterwards, he was on
his knees, his arm resting on the
box and his head on his arm. In
this position he had evidently died
in great chlmness, for his features
exhibited an absolute repose. An
inquest was held, the circumstances
fully investigated, and verdict rem
dered in accordance with the fore
going statement of facts.
