A Business Ian.

"A Business MAN.
A sacred regard for the principles OF
justice forms the basis of every trausac-
ton, and regulates the conduct of the
upright man of business.
He is strict in keeping his engagements.
Does nothing careless or in hurry.
Employs nobody to do what he can do
himself. Keeps everything in its proper
place. Leaves nothing undone which
circumstances permit him to do. Keeps
his designs from the views of others. Is
prompt and decisive with his customers,
and does not overtrade his capital. Pre-
fers short credits at all times, either in
buying or selling and small profits in
credit cases, with little risks, to the chance
Of better gains with more hazards.
He is clear and explicit in all his bar
gains. Leaves nothing of consequence to
memory which he can and ought to COM
NIT to writing. Keeps copies of all his
important letters which he sends away,
and has every letter, invoice, etc., relating
to his business, titled, classed and put
away.
Never suffers his desk to be confused by
many papers lying upon it. Is always at
the head Of his business, well Knowing
that if he leaves it, it will leave him.
Holds it as a maxim that he whose
credit is suspected is not one to be trusted
Is constantly examining his books, and
sees through ali his affairs as far as care
and attention will enable him. Balances
! 1t regular stated times, and then makes
out and transmits all his accounts current
to his customers both at home and abroad.
Avoids, as much as possible, all sorts of
accommodation in money matters, and
law suits, where there is the least hazard.
lie is economical in his expenditures, al
ways living within his income.
Keeps memorandum book in his
pocket in which he notes every particular
relative to appointments, addresses, and
petty cash matters. Is cautious how he
becomes security for any person, and is
generous when urged by. motives of hu-
manity.
Let man act strictly to these habits;
when once begun they will be easy to
continue in-ever remembering that he
hath no profits by his pains whom Provi
dence doth not prosper-and success will
attend his efforts.
Take pleasure in your business, and it
will become your recreation.
Hope for the hest, think for the worst,
and bear whatever happens. Each.

WARM DRINKS.
The Last Of tho Red Man.

The Columbia Phoenix" mentions that
John Harris, Chief of the Catawba Indians,
was before the Legislature Saturday last, cx-
horting with his crude %cloqucnce an appro-
pria!ion for the removal Of his diminished
tribe to the far west, whore onco moro beyond
the reach of the white man, they could again
hunt tho deer and the buffalo, and again
chant their war songs and glory in the deeds
of their ancestors. The Catawba remnant al
ludcd to by us, is now a mere handful of mon,
huddled together on tho "Indian Lane"
bordering tho Catawba river in York and
Lancaster Districts, surrounded by ci%viliza-
ton, and Inundated by their own insignif-
canoe. Such is tho fate Of tho Red Man.
Onco Monarch Of all no surveyed" he now
has scarcely q burial place; has been cheated,
and is now despiscd; hos been defeated, and
Is now little better than a slave; has been
driven from his hunting grounds, and is now
travelling farther and farther towards the dis
tant Pacific. Thus passes away glory. This
race could once boast of a King Philip, of q
Red Jacket, of Black Hawk, of an Osceola,
warriors renowned in war and wise in peace ;
chioftaius whose glory raised to tho highest
summit the tottcring causes which they rep
resented, and whose deaths signaled .be 10
s~truction Of their braves. AS ono contem.
plates the sad fate Of tho Indian, we cannot
refrain from tutoring an ejaculation of sorrow
for the misfortunes Of gallant but misguided
men, whose barbarity is forgotten when re-
Vowed with their savage nobility, and whose
actions have been sung in prose- and verse,
equally worthy to adorn the most chiyalrous
pages Of history, or to furnish the poet with
an appropriate theme, wild, romantic, and in
teresting.

ADVANTAGE OF LEARNING A TRADE.
The advice of Benjamin franklin, to give cv-
cry child a trade by which he can earn a liv.
ing, if necessary, comes Of an experience old
or than his. In some countries this has been
the law in others o common custom. st.
Paul, though educated at the law at the feet
of Gamaliel, also acquired the Important Ori-
entail handicraft Of a tent maker, by which he
was able to, earn his living while prosecuting
his mission. It is a good and wise thing to
do. You may be able to send your children
fortunes; but riches take to themselves
wings" You may give them finished edu.
cations, and they may DO gifted with extraor.
binary genius but they may DO placed in
situations where no education and no talent
may be so available as some humble honest
trade, by which they can get their living and
be useful to others.

From Halls Juofhal Of Hoalth.1
What Shall we Drinks
COLD WATER.

Cold water, swallowed during the progress
of digestion, instantly arrests it, and the pro-
cess is not resumed, until the water has been
there long enough to be warmed from the
temperature at which it was drank, to that
of tho stomach; or from some forty degrees
to a hundred; to accomplish this tho heat
must be distracted from tho general system,
chilling it. Strong, robust persons may not
feel this, but if a mar in feeble health drink
cold water at a meal, ct all largely, he rises
from tho table chilly, and soon has fever, while
the stomach being kept thai much longer at
work in digesting the food, lose, its vigor, the
digestion isimperfect, and the food becomes
impure, thus lying at tho foundation Of dis
case. Tho inevitable inference from these
facts is, that cold water is injurious to health,
if taken at meals. Injurious to tho most ro-
bust, if taken largely, and to persons in feeble
health, if takon at all, beyond a few swallows
at q meal.
I therefore set it down, as a clearly ostab-
lished fact, that q glass or moro of cold water,
drank habitually at meals, or soon after, is u
pcrnicious practice, even to tho most heal
thy.
Injury is done in another manner; wator,
or any other fluid, dilutcs the gastric juice,
and thus weakens its powor to dissolve tho
food. The mou Of gastric juice is not les
sened, but its power is diminished by its
dilution. The finger will be scaldcd by dip.
ping it into a vessel Of boiling water !; but if
an equal amount of cold water is added, it
may BIO thrust in with impunity, although
there is as much heat in tho mass as before
but it is more diffuscd.
Any kind Of fluid taken largely at a moal,
or soon after, is positively injurious to helth.
A standing item of advice to my patients
is-takc but half a glass Of water at a single
meal. or n single cup Of weak coffee or tea,
never increasing the strength or quantity, and
drink nothing within an hour after eating.
IF cold drinks arc I'M urious ct meals, cold
food is for the same reason also injurious thus
it is that some of tho most terrible forms of
disease arc brought on by persistence in cat
ing cold food, exclusively, especially in tho
winter time.
WARM DRINKS.
If cold fluids arc injurious at meals, we nat
urally conclude that warm fluids, in modera-
ton, arc beneficial, and rightly so.
It then follows, that, if we drink anything
OF meals, it should be first warmed.
We may safely ndmit, that the universal
custom of a country is founded on commo
sense, being tho teaching of experience
Common sense and tho experinco of the civ
ilizcd world is, that a cup of good hot coffee
for breakfast, or q cup of good hot tea for
supper, is "wholcsomc."

MASONIC CELEBRATION.

Thursday, the 24th instant, being st. Johns
Day, was celebrated at this place by quite num-
Der of Masons from the Lodges Of this and the
surrounding counties, who had assembled to join
in the festivities of the occasion. Fortunately
the day was calm and clear, and but for the ex-
cessive heat of the weather, the ceremonies would
have passed off pleasantly. At en- early hour the
large number of spectators who were in atten-
dance began to assemble, and we were pleased 10
observe quite number Of the fair sex present to
grace the occasion with their charms.
The, Masons assembled in the Masonic Hall,
and about II o'clock were formed into procession
by Major w. W. HUMPHREYS, and headed by the
Brass Band of Anderson, marched to the Baptist
Church, where the speeches we're to be delivered
By the time the audience was seated, the church
and galleries were filled to repletion. Thc era
tors of the occasion were the Rev. s. A. WEBER
and WARREN D. WILKES, Esq. 1t was our misfor-
tune to be so situated as not to hear distinctly
which we are satifed was alike credtable to the
head and heart of its author His delicate health
rendered the task Of making himself audible in
room so large and densely crowded., one of great
difficulty, and before he was done, he betrayed
evident signs of exhaustion. 1t is to be regretted
that one so young and promising should find such
difficulty interposed between him and the sphere
of usefulness to, which he aspires.
He YVES followedby Col. WILKES, whose speech
was short we'll conceived and we'll delivered. 1t
-,,, ha baof Of &c
After the speeches were over, the Masons were
reformed into procession at The church, and
marched back to the Masonic Hall, where IN am
pie dinner was in readiness for them.
Much credit is due to the Anderson Brass Band,
which volunteered it's services for the occasion.
The day passed of pleasantly and quietly, and
reminded us of the social gatherings Of our pee
pie in days which have long since passed away.
