A NEW TARRF.-It is indispensable that the pres

GEORGE CRUIKsHASKs HIS OLD AGE.-The pres

years of service. Old people recOect having been

recall with delight the illustrated books of their
boyish days, in which the pencil of this admirable

Coop NATURED PEoPLE.-Be good natured if you
can for there is no attraction great, charm
admirable. face that is full of the expression of
amiability is always beautiful 1t needs no paint or
no powder. Cosmetics are superhuous for it.
Rouge cannot improve its cheeks, nor lily white
mend its complexion. Its lovlness lies beyond all
this. 1t is not the beauty that is but skin deep.
For when you gaze into the face of nobe-hearred
man or woman, IT is not the shape of the features
you really see nor yet the tint of the cheek the hue
Of the lip or the brilliance Of the eye You the
nameless something which animates all these, and
leaves for your instinct of grateful facina-
tion you see an indescribabe embodiment of heart
goodness within, which wins your regard in spite
of external appearance, and defes all the critical
rules of the aesthetic. Cultivate good nature. 1t is
better than apples of gold set in pictures OF sill
ver for gold will take TO itself wings and fly away;
silver will tarnish in time, and both, when abund
ant, lose their comparative value; but good nature
never, never looses its worth-never abandones its
possessor to the mental poverty of the malicious
never loses its hold the esteem of the world. It
is always in fashion and always in season. Every
body admires it. 1t never grows stale. 1t cost
little to acquire and nothing to keep. Yet it is be-
yond diamonds in its worth to its owners, and can
neither be stolen lost however neglected. Sure
ly this is jewel that merits search and, when
found merits protection. Possess yourselves of
it, young women no tailsman will find you so be-
witchng in the judgmen: of the sensible among the
other sex Secure it, young man; you could have
no better attraction for loving woman, and no
safer guarantee of domestic happiness.

WHAr THE SUGAR IMPORTERS WANT-A well at
tended meeting of the sugar importers, refners and
dealers of the city was held yesterday afternoon at
No IO9 Wall street. About two weeks ago meeting

the three branches of the trade and committee wa
appointed to make report which would please every
body After good deal of disultory discussion two
reports were received at the meeting yesterday
majority and minority report The majority report
was adopted after good deal of discussion and not
until the dealers had left the room in body. The
following is the report adopted:
Whereas it is deemed advisable that the duties upon
sugar should be levied with due regard to the interests
of both the merchants and the re6ners, it is the OPT
Mon Of this committee that the present scale of duties
is nearly desirable for both of these interests but it
seems to us advisable that the following changes
should be made:
First Claa.-Melado and all sugar not above No.
Dutch standard in color to be taken the first class
Second Class.-An sugar above and not above No.
l3 Dutch standard in color be taken the second
class and the duty thereon to be Onehalf cent per
pound above the rate upon the first class.
Third Gass-An sugar above No. 13 and not above
No. Is Dutch standard in color to be taken as the
third class and the duty thereon to be half cent
per pound above the rate upon the second class.
Fourth C7ass.-All sugar above No. Is and not
above No. 90 Dutch standard in color to be taken
the fourth Glass; and the duty thereon to be half
per pound above the rate upon the third class.
Fifth CGass.-An refined sugar in form of loaf,
lump, crushed, powdered, pulverized graduated.
and all dried other sugar above No. 20 Dutch
standard in color, to be taken the fifth class, and
the duty thereon be cent per pound above the
rate for the fourth class.
Provided, that all sugar imported from foreign
countries above No. 10 Dutch standard in color,
which have been, in process of making, boiled in a
vacuum, pumped in q centrifugal machine or by a
centrifugal process and filtered through animal or
boue black or its equivalent, shall be levied and col
lected per per pound than the duties
hereby imposed upon sugars made by the old or open

NATIONAL HATREDs.-I hate man in private life,
for confess to hating some people, for excellent
reasons; hate the man at the club who always
engages the particular newspaper that want, be-
cause he shows revolving selishness hate the
man who abuses me, because he is obviously insen-
sible to high class of merit; hate the man whose
theological political opinions opposite to my
own because be must plainly be stupid or insincere.
All this may be unchrisian, but it is not Illogical
But TO hate for, indeed to love) nation must, on
the face of ii, be foolish Such a sentiment implies
that the nation is in its nature worse than our own;
whereas, we have just admitted, one nation is in
the long run pretty much as good as another. Some
very excellent writers whom could name think
that they display their wisdom by Systematically
abusing French principles, and by implication the
race which asserts them. Unless they could prove,
what is quite impossible to prove, that the French
are, whole inferior TO ourselves, their virtuous
warmth only demonstrates that there are certain
good qualities to which they are invariably blind.
1t was very proper some time ago, when nobody
read German books, to impress upon Englishmen
generally that the Germans had really remark
ably good qualities both in literature and practical
life. The people who undertook that task naturally
grew fond of their clients, and it became to
contrast, in all kinds of ways, German simplicity
and earnestness and imaginative power with the
supposed defects of Frenchmen in the capaci-
ties Now that the balance has been redressed, this
zeal to be out place. and to tend to equal
exaggeraton of the opposite kind. When
writers were absurdly given to Johusonese, and the
elaborate pomposity of Latinized sentences, 1t was
well to point out the value ofthe Saxon elements
of our language; we may now be content to admit
that good writer should show an equal command
of all resources. When the negative philosophy
of Voltaire and his school threatened be in ascen
dant it good service to set FORTH as Coeridge
did, amongst others, that there was in existence a
philosophy of different tendencies. We may now
speak without fear of the great and most valuable
exceencies of the French intellect. 1t is time that
we should endeayor to do justice to every one, and
abandon the attempt to find exclusive merit in any
of the great divisions of the European races.-Cor
