STIMULANTS.

GEORGE D. PRENTICE, who, &C
cording to all accounts, ought to
be pretty familiar with what men
usually term stimulants, writes thus
truly and beautifully!
There is a time when the pulse
lies low in the bosom and beats
low in the veins, when the spirit
sleeps which, apparently, knows no
waking, sleeps in its house of clay,
and the windows are shut, the
doors hung in the invisible Grape
of melancholy; when we wish the
golden sunshine pitchy darkness,
and wish to fancy clouds where no
clouds he. This is a state of sick
ness when physic may be thrown
to the dogs, for we wish none of it.
What shall raise the spirit? What
shall make the heart beat music
again, and the pulses through all
the myriad thronged halls in the
house of lite? What snail make
tile sun kiss the eastern hills again
for lis with all his old awakening
gladness, and the night overflow
with moonlight, love and flowers ?
Love itselfis the greatest stimulant,
the most intoxicating of all, and
performs all these miracles, and is
a miracle itself, and is not at drug
store, whatever they say. The
counterfeit, is in the market, but
the winged God is not money
changers we assure you.
" Men have tried many things,
but still they ask for stimulant.
"Men try to bury the floating
dead of their own souls in the wine
cup, but the corpse rises. We see
their faces in the bubbles. The in
toxication of drink sets the world |
again, and the pulses to
playing music and the thoughts
galloping, but the clock only runs
iown sooner, and an unnatural
3timulant only leaves the house it
illed with the widest revelry, more
silent, more sad, more deserted.
"There is only one stimulant
hat never intoxicates-duty. Duty |
outs a clear sky over every man
nto which the skylark-happiness,
always goes singing"

aoasinv Paragraphs!

THEODORE Triton thinks that "a
clean shirt is one Of woman's best
gifts to man," and the Coming Wo-
man will know how to wash.
The Car has just issued a ukase
declaring that parents who are con-
victed Of compelling their children
to marry shall be sentenced to
prison.
"It's all very pretty talk" said a
recently married bachelor, who had
just finished reading an essay on
the Culture of Women" just as a
heavy milliner's bill was presented
to him Its all very pretty, this
cultivation OF woman; but such a
charge as this for bonnets, is rather
a heavy top-dressing-in my judg-
ment,"
A Sunday school teacher was
giving a lesson on Ruth. She want
ed to bring out the kindness ofBoaz
in commanding the reapers to drop
larger handfuls of wheat "Now,

Stephen Aliens Poeket-piece.

In the pocket of Hon. Stephen
Allen, who was drowned from on
board the H. Clay, was found a
printed slip, apparently cut from a
newspaper, of which the following
is copy. 1t is worthy to be yet
in every newspaper, and engraved
on every mans heart:
Make few promises.
Always speak the truth.
Keep good company or none,
Never speak evil of any one.
Live up to your engagements.
Be just before you are generous,
Never play at any game OfchauCe.
Drink no kind Of intoxicating
liquors.
Good characters above all things
else.
Keep your own secrets, If you
have any.
Never borrow if you can posi-.
bly, help it.
Do not marry until you are able
to support a wife.
Keep yourself innocent, if you
would be happy.
When you speak to a person,
look him in the face.
Make no haste to be rich, If Won
would prosper.
Ever live (misfortune excepted)
within your income.
Save when you are yothg to
spend when you are old.
Avoid temptation through fear
you may not withstand it.
Never run into debt unless you
see your way to get out again.
Small and steady gains give com'
potency with tranquil mind.
Good company and good cons
are the sinews Of virtue.
Your character cannot be essen
tally injured except by your own
acts.
If any one speaks evil of you, let
your life be so that no one will be-
Iieve him
When you retire to bedi think
over what you have been doing
during the day.
Never be idle; If your hands can
not be employed usefully, attend
to the cultivation of your mind.
Read over the above maxims,
carefully and thoughtfully, at least
1nce every day.

The little ills that flesh is heir t.
how they crowd into our lie :
How they chafe us i How they roI
love Of its sweetness, happiness 0
all its joy, sunlight of its cleares
brightness, and glad content of it,
peace How they tire us with dul
sounds, how their endless repeti
tons cut deep into our very being
All, these little illsl When life be,
comes a dreary thing, and we STUN.
bic by the way, it is often not be.
cause Of any great burden which
we bear, but because of many little
ones.
AMI it is strange how we will
persist in taking them up needless
lyj how we search for them, as it
were, and are surprised almost if
perchance we find them for time
slipped or The most serious draw
back to our enjoyment is this
that we will not be happy when we
can-that we 60 about continually
hunting after some petty, goading
thing to prick US into unrest. So
when we mi bit possess our souls
in peaceful patience, we are fret
ting and worrying all the day long,
and besides being wretched our
selves are the cause of miserable
ness in others.
The relative heed paid to little
ills is astonishing, when we come
to think of it. A man will bury
his wife with real Christian resig-
nation, though he loved her fondly,
who would tume about the house
like a mad lion were one of the
children to misplace his cane or his
spectaclos, or did his excellent con-
panion chance to neglect his shirt
buttons. And a good mother, fond
other children as any mother could
be, will bear the death ofOne with
noble, womanly fortitude, when to
find that her thimble is missing, or
that the servant has allowed a loaf
Of bread to burn, will set her into
a high-voiced complaint fearful to
listen to.
We have known very fair Chris
tan people to fly into a violent
passion because they didn't hap
pen to agree on some little point
Of argument; and we have seen
those whose creed was swear not
at all " get very near cursing be-
cause some thoughtless person left
a door open, or trod on their toes, |
or said some keen, biting word ON
purpose to annoy. Yet they thought
themselves very exemplary, and in
many respects they we're. But they
were not heroes. They never would !
be, though they should do some
deed worthy of fame. The Chris
tan hero governs himself He bears
daily vexations without wincing.-
The little ills which none can avoid
he laughs off, and in so doing grows
The stronger to grapple with those
which must be srappled. And if
here were more such we should
zee more smiles in the world, and
he days would be glad with a
brighter cheeriness.

A few years ago, a large dFug
firm in this city advertised for a
boy. Next day the store was
throhged with applicants, among
them, a qneer-looking little fellow,
accompanied by woman, who
proved to be his aunt, in lieu Of
taithless parents, by whom he had
been abandoned, Looking at this
little waif, the merchant in the store
promptly sald Cant take him;
places all full; besides he is too
small" 81 know he is small" said
the woman, " but he is willing and
faithful" There was a twinkle in
the boys eyes, Which made tho
merchant think again. A partner
in the firm volunteered to remark
that he "did not see what they
wanted of such a boy-he wasn't
bigger than a pint OF cider' But
after consultation the boy was set
to work. A few days later a call
was made on the boys in the store
for some one to stay all night. The
prompt response of the little fellow
contrasted well with the reluctance
of others In the middle Of the
night the merchant looked in TO see
if all was right in the store, and
presently discovered his youthful
pr0tege busy scissoring labels
" What are you doing ?" said he.
Il did not tell you to work nights ?"
Il know you did not tell me 80,
but / thought / might as well be-
doing something" In the morn.
ing the cashier got orders to "doub-
ls that boys wages, for he is ttl-
ling" Only few weeks elapsed
before a show Of wild beasts passed
the streets, and very natu4
raj all hands in the store rushed to
witness the spectacle. A thief saw
MS opportunity, and entered at the
rear door to seize something, but
n twinkling found himself firmly
olutched by the dlminutive clerk
and, after a struggle was
captured. Not only was a robbery
prevented, but valuable articles
aiken from other stores were fe.
covered. When asked by the t1er-
chant why he staid behind to watch
when all others quit their work, the
reply was, "You told me never to
cave the store when others were
Ibsent and l thought I'd stay. -
Orders were Immediately given
,nce more " Double that boys
wages he is willing and fathfut."
To-day that boy Is getting salary
# : $500, and next January will
'ecome a member of the firm
'oung men, initiate that example.

METHODIST TAvERNs. = " The
Methodist preacher with whom |
first formed an acquaintance" says
Bishop Thompson, twas Adam
Poe, whom | met at a tavern. As
we were both going to the same
point, he proposed that we should
take an early start and breakfast on
the way. On my remarking that
there was no inn at suitable dis
tance, he said, i know of a Metho-
dist tavern at the right place. =
Very well. Arriving at the place,
!, in my simplicity, gave directions
as to my horse and breakfast. On
calling for my bill, my kind host
answered, with a smile, This is a
private house Bless me 7 said l,
how l have been decaived! ! and
turning to Mr.. Poe, l said.
Did you not tell me that this is a
tavern p
No, sir replied he firmly, said
this is n Methodist tavern; they
don't make bills at Methodist tav-
erns.'
And are there such taverns in
other parts of the country ?
Yes, sir.
"This is a new revelation which
reminded me of the saying Of fan old
woman: 'The Methodists are more
friendly than any other nation.'--
Nevertheless, l could but feel as if |
could crawl into a nutshell when |
recollected what figure | had cut
giving orders"

land Central railroad are important modi-
fications of tile terms first offered to subscri-
bcrs tn the stock of said road. 1t will be seen
by these resolutions, that subscriptions are
not binding after two years. unless the sum
of 100000 shall be subscribed sufficient to
insure its completion, and that no part of the
stock subscribed is to be called for expended,
until the regular organization of the Com
pany, by the election of Board of Directors
by the stockholders. These arc terms as
fair and free from risk TO those intending to
aid In the construction of the road as can
possibly be offered, OF that the nature of the
enterprise can possibly admit Of We feel
confident that all that is now needed to in
sure Its early completion, is for the people OF
this community to carry out to practical
result the deep interest everywhere felt and
expressed in the work, by each one subscri-

an amount adequate to his means, and which

FILL Your LAMPs.-As at this season of
the year many fatal accidents occur from
the explosion of lamps in which kerosene
is burned, knowledge communicated, and
a little advice on the subject may tend to
lessen the number of accidents, if not to
prevent their occurrence altogether. Let
those who use kerosene lamps take notice
gsf these facts and act accordingly. AS the
oil burns down in the lamp highly infam-
mable gas gathers over its surface, and as
the oil decreases the gas increases. When
the oil is nearly consumed slight jar will
often intiame the gas, and an explosion is
sure to follow, dealing death and destruc-
ton. Now if the lamp is not allowed to
burn more than halfwd down, such acct
dents are impossible. Always fill your
lamps every morning, then you never need
fear an explosion.

UNION MILLs.-Messrs.. Stocks & Lomax,
proprietors ofthese old-established wooden
mills, located at Pleasantvillc, have recently
introduced variety of new machinery, ard
are now enabled to I'LL orders at much lower
rates than heretofore, and with the utmost
dispatch. Among the machinery which they
have now in use, is one of Poole and Hunts
celebrated Turbine Wheels, capable of exert
ing force equal to eighteen-horse power ;
and they intend further to increase their
facilities for the rapid manufacture of first
class articles, by the introduction of still
more machinery of the latest approved pat
ents. The quality of the goods they manu-
facture Is 80 well known, that any recommen-
dation would seem superfuous Nor is the
reputation of their articles confined to our
county alone, for We understand that their
goods find ready sale in various markets
outside of our county. Read their advertise
