/ British finance has laboresl to relieve and
almost entirely to exempt industry and

to endure even more than their equal share

proceed on the British model MS far AZ
possible, for il is just possible there NAV
be circumstances rendering imitation ey-
ceedingiy difficult. However, Q good deal
may be done in this direction. The minute
ness with which American finance strikes
at all the ingredients necessary in work
and manufacture produce lnIsehiefs out
Of proportion to the gain. II leads to-aduI-

First, there are managing people. The
managing people are of three kinds. They
are either imperious persons, or very good
natpred persons, or very concsited persons.
And sonetimes the three motives which
cause man or woman to be troublesomely
managing are combined in -aae and the
same person.
Now the objection which most people
have to being managed is, that they have
an unconqnerable wish to manage for them
selves.
! 4 But there is another and very potent
cause why people often reject the most ex
cellent proposals for being managed. tits,
that the managing person does not Know
some secret, but very strong, motive OF the
person to be managed aud therefore all
the managers wise suggestions are beside

Let us take a familiar instance which
might occur in, real life, There is young
man I'VE will call him Mr., Amansl in the
same house with one of the tribe ofmaua-
gers. Mr.. Amans is asked by what train
he is returning to London, and he says by
the 10 clock train. This is in tho srnok-
ng-room, after the ladies have,gone to bed
Up Jumps the manager, Whips out bis
Bradshaw" and tells Mr.. Amaus that it is
positive insanity not to 60 by the 9 O'Clock
train. "lf you go by the 10 o'clock train,
a very slow, train, you will not got into
town till o'clock in the mornings most
uncomfortable time; whereas, ifyou go by
the 9, you will be in by IL at night, and
have q good lights rest. Do let mesorder
the carriage for half past o'clock:"S The
young man looks very. sheepish, stammers
out, some foolish objection to the 9o'clock
train, but holds his ground, and will not be
managed. And whyf. Mr., Amans thought
that there was faint return on the part of
Miss Amata to the warm pressure Of his
hand when, he babe her- goodnight that
evening and he would lose Fifty nights
rest, aud rightly too, in order to ascertain
whether that faint return of pressure will
be repeated, or, perhaps, increased on the
ensuing morning. New, the family break
fast is not until o'clock. n.
family nature but the same thing runs
through life. When the manager thinks
any of us unreasonable, he may reflect that
perhaps he does not know all the motives
which, however unreasonable, determine us
to a'courso of action contrary to that which
he so ably recommends. 5-! .df}s 7rrguc]

must make remarks about .eyerything; and
there are great many things in this life
which had better gass without any remark.

REDUCTION IN PRICE.

Ihere never was time in the history of our
country when greater necessity existed for cir
euiating pure Democratic documents. Radical
legislation has made a grave yard and desert of
haif of our country; our liberties have boon in.
fringed upon to an alarming extent; overwhem-
ed with debt, and staggering under its load of
corruption and imbecility, our government is
the scott and by-word Of foreign nations dispis.
ed at home and derided abroad il is overhang
ing the very brink of destruction: the departure
of our people from the glorious preeepts of the
past, has led them into labyrinth of anarchy
from which many see no escape but in a military
despotism. The New York imperialist, founded
and supported by the bond holding arstocracy,
is laundering for the establishment of an Empire;
its efforts receive the countenanco of high gov
eminent officials, and the appreciation of the
manufacturing nabobs fthe East we are rapid
ly drifting upon breakers which must soon test
the stability of the ship of State There is no
nope for the future, save in rousing the people
to their duties as citizens, and to realization of
the peril in which their Liberties are placed.
There is but one way to redeem the country from
the demagogues and plunderers who are fast urg-
ing it to ruin. The masses must return to the
principles of the fathers of the Republic, drive
from places of trust the spoilers fattening upon
The life blood of the nation, and place in power
only those who will administer our affairs with
prudence and economy. There must be a
