Credit an Lnja1y-The editor of the
Claiborne Adoocate rejoices in the fact that
for the first time in his life, he was refused
credit the other day for eleven dollars. Had
this happened to him twenty years ago, he
would have been rich man to-day. He
regards this as really an act of kindness,
and says:
This little act has caused us to review our
misspent life. We think of the thousands
Of dollars we have so tooIishIy thrown

made-the articles purchased we could have

How to Keep a Town from Thriving

The Augusta (Ark) Sentinel gives the
following rules for keeping town down:
If you wish to keep a town from thriving,
don't put up any more buildings than you
can conveniently occupy yourselves. If
you should accidentally have an empty
dwelling, and any one wants to occupy it.
ask about three times the actual value for it.
Demand a Sbylock price for every vacant
spot Of ground God has given you steward
ship over Turn a cold shoulder to every
mechanic and business man seeking a
home among you. Look at every new conner
with a scowl. Run down the work of every
now workman. Go abroad for your wares,
rather than encourage those who seek to do
business in your midst ScOwl darkly at
every improvement or enterprise, and pre-
dict its failure, Wrap yourselves up within
/ yourselves, and cover yourselves up IN a
! coat of imperviOus selfshness. There Is
no more efectual way to retard the growth
of town than actions like those enumer

Impeachment.

The Washington imbroglio grows more
and more complicated. The President
has at length been brought to direct
issue with Gen. Grant, and we of the
Republican Union party rejoice thereat.
Wehave canse for he has conducted him.
self throughout the crisis in a manner
well BETTING an able soldier and true
and answering patriot. The country will
be at no loss to decide the question of We
racity-as it is forced upon them by the
late published OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
on the one hand man who has proved
in the field his devotion to the Union,and
on the other weak and vacillating
President whose name will darken the
page of History as traitor, alike to friends
or foes. Since the President by deposing
Secretary Stanton set at defiance the
"Tenure of Office" law, impeachment
has become the watchward of the hour.
Andrew johnson undoubtedly deserves
this and the grisly phantom continually
floating before him has an important
influence on his official conduct. He
may, certainly, be successfully i'm
peached, but it behooves us to do nothing
rash. The urgency is not immediate. He
has little more thana year longer to hold
his Office and at the expiration of the
term, he, like George B. Mcclellan will
die political death. E&t#
Horace Greeley says in recent edito-
rial, "The next card which Congress may
play is impeachment. 1t is for Andrew
johnson to say whether it shall be played
or not" To assail the integrity of the
chief magistrate of this republic, is dan
gerous alike to him and to our honor
among nations That card should only
be played at the last extremity. History
testifes to this truth. The Roundheads un-
der Cromwell, after impeaching and 60
ing through the form Of trial with
Charles l. decapitated that unfortunate
monarch, and for years England was in
a. state of anarchy, and rent with the
throes of civil war. Later the French
Jacobin club tore Louis Phillippi from
his throne The result was the most
bloody outbreak known to history, the
French Revolution. / think, then, with
these examples before our eyes, we should
refrain from taking step that might
possibly, though not probably, again
plunge our ship of union amid the jagged
rocks of civil discord, or mayhap into
International war. Our country does
not, as yet, coincide with Webster's SEN
timent of " Liberty and Union" and all
avoidable Revolutionary acts should be
stunned. / shall not be voter for half
a dozen years yet, but for the last reason
if for no other would I advocate nom,
: impeachment, although abhor Andrew
johnson and his policy as traitorous and
antagonistic to his official oath.

The DrunIxard's Children.

Accustomed to daily scenes of vice,
debauchery, strife and profanity, what
can we reasonably expect but that they
will grow up to be drunkards, gamblers,
thieves, and even murderers Such a
destiny is almost forced upon them. Their
moral sensibilities are uncultivated and
unexercised, and ultimately become DOR
mant and even calloused, while their an
imality grows to unhealthy predominence.
They become so identified with the vici-
Gus, depraved and lawless, they become
so scented, as it were, with the sins of
those among whom their lot has been cast,
that there is scarcely any alternative left
them but to pursue the downward course
to crime and utter ruin. Men regard
them with distrust; wherever they go
they are looked upon with suspicion, and
even if they actually desire to, it is diff
cult for them to rise above the position in
which fortune-nay, in which their faith
er has placed them.
Everywhere they are Stunned and
scofed at other children point to them
and say: "Their father is a drunkard
and we will not associate with them"
Who can tell the modification, the shame,
the agony Of hopelessness, which darkens
the lives of those children? AT every
point they meet with cold repulses and
singing rebuke, and wild with humilia-
ton and despair, as they grow up, they
plunge deeper and deeper into the foul
waters Of dissipation and crime. All the
baser passions of their animal natures are
fred a feeling is awakened within them
towards the world at large of intense and
deadly hatred, and they seek revenge for
the indignities which have been heaped
upon them.
Here we see the fulfllment of the
Scriptural text: The sins of the parents
shall be visited upon their children" &c.
10 uSooItcu IdtlltTs, Link Oh the mise
ry, the degradation, the despair which
you are entailing upon your children
Think of the suffering, the shame, the sor-
row which they must experience on your
account, and oh abandon the grog shop
and your drunken companions, and return
to life of temperance and virtue! If
you have no regard for your own reputa-
ton, if you care not for your own happi-
ness and success, in Heavens name do it
for your children's sake. Do it that they
may have the inexpressible pleasure of
saying in future years Sour father was
noble and temperate man." A good
name, an untainted reputation, is the no
blest legacy father can bestow upon his
children. 1t is more valuable to them
than bank stock, or abroad acres.
Then fathers, live so that your sons
may not blush to acknowledge your rela-
tionship! liveso that they may say, with
filial love and pride: "He was my
father DUNNELLE.

GENERAL HINTs.-Do not frequently
repeat the name or title of the person
with whom you may be conversing.
Never speak Of absent persons by only,
their christian or surnames but always
as Mr.. -, or Mrs. - Above all,
never name anybody by the first letter of
his name.
No lady should permit any gentleman
who is not a near relative, or friend of
her family to defray the cost of her en-
trance fee to any theatre or exhibition,
or to pay for her refreshments or vehicle,
if it be possible to avoid it.
If q person of greater age or higher
rank than yourself desires you to step
first into carriage, or through door,
it is more polite to bow and obey than to
decline. Compliance with, and Difference
to, the wishes of others is the finest
breeding.
Never boast Of your birth, your mon
ey, your good friends, or anything that
is yours
No compliment which savors in the
least Of insincerity is compliment at all.
1t is not in good taste for unmarried
ladies to accept presents from gentlemen
who are neither related or engaged to
them.
A gift should be precious for something
better than its price. Offerings Of flow
ers and game are unexceptionable. Au-
tographic papers, foreign curiosities, etc.
are elegant gifts. A gift should never
be ostentatious. but should be worth offer.
ing. Acknowledge the receipt of presents
without delay.
Never refuse present unless under
very exceptional circumstances. How
ever humble the giyer or however simple
or poor the gift, you should appreciate
the good will and intention, and accept
it with kindness and thanks.
