RASHFTL MEN.

Let all bashful people, and tAei'
are a great many Of them, take COM
fort and consolation from the remarks
Of a writer touching their class.
We seldom see a genuine bashiu-
man who is not the soul OF honof--
Though such blush and stammerr AN,
appear awkward, shrug their shoul
ders, and are unable to throw out VIII
ease the thoughts to which they would
give expression, yet commend Us U'
bashful men for real friends-
There are fine touches on Ihe4t
character, that time will mellow anu
bring out; perceptions as delicate as
the faintest tint Of the unfOlded rose,
and their thoughts are none the les
refined and beautiful that they do not
flow with the impetuOsity Of the sla.-
low streamlet-
1t is a wonder that such men are
not more appreciated ; that young
women, with really good hearts and
cultivated intellects, will regard the
gallant Sir MustachiO Braiuless with
smiles and attentions, because he can
fold a shawl gracefully, and has q
dandy cOuntenance with a Partisan
elegance, while they will scarcely
cOndescend to look upon the wOrthier
man, who feels for them . reverence
50 great that his very glance is a wor-
ship.
The man who is bashful in the pres
enee Of women is their defender, when
the loose tongue Of the bold slanderer
would defame them; it is not he who
boasts of his eOnquests, or dares talk
glibly Of failings that exist only in
his Imagination; his cheek will flush
with resentment, his eyes flash with
anger to hear the name Of woman
coupled with an oath and yet he who
would die to defend them, is the least
hOnOred by the majority Of the sex.
Ladies, a word in your ear. Have
you lovers? Would you possess a
worthy husband? Choose, then, the
man whose delieacy Of department,
whose sense Of your worth leads him
to stand alOOf, while others, with less
modesty and no feeling, crowd around
you. If he bushes, if he stammers
even, at your approach; consider
these things so many signs of his
opinion of your sex. If he is retiring
and modest, let a thousand fortunes
weigh him down, in a balance; for
depend upon it, with him your life
will be happier, even with cOmpar-
ative poverty, than with many that
are surrounded by the splendOr Of
palaces.

Hogs intended for fattening this fall
should have a liberal supply of food.
1t is well known that a much smaller
amount of food will fatten animals in
mild, open weather than during the
rigOrs of winter. On this account the
fattening of hogs should be COM
menced sufficiently early to admit of
their being slaughtered before very
cold weather renders fattening diff
cult ana expensive. a very great
economy of food may be made by
grinding and cooking corn instead of
giving it in its natural state. A bush
ell Of corn ground and cooked will
make about twice as much pork as a
bushel given raw. Many intelligent
farmers are beginning to see this, and
have erected mills for grinding corn,
ETC., and boilers or steamers for cook
ing the meal. Comfortable pens and
good beds, and planked or paved yards
for feeding them must be provided
a very successful fattener of hogs in
England says that after many expert
meDts he has discovered the "hog
secret" which is that sleep is the
greatest assistance to the fattening
process. He also says that next to
sleep, grease in the food is the best
material for fattening. Of course, in
order to produce sleep plenty of food
must be given and a good bed pro-
vided. A hog never goes to sleep
with ms stomach empty.

DYsPEPSIA.-The worst case of dys-
pepsia can be cured without the least
particle of medicine, simply by eat
ing nothing in which lard is an ingre-
dent, using butter sparingly, eating
bread made of unbOlted flour, and
making free use of fruits, especially
apples. In fact, most people would be
much better Off if they ate meat not
more than once or twice a week, and
used fruit and vegetables instead
Pork and lard are great promoters of
dyspepsia, and fevers and bilious dis
eases are fed by keeping up bodily
heat of midwinter through June and
July, August and September hut new
er changing our diet from the heavy
meats of January. An eminent
French physician says that the dis
ease of dyspepsia and bilious affec.
tiOns in Paris is owing to the increas-
ed consumption of apples a fruit, he
maintains, which is an admirable pre-
ventive and tonic, rs well as q very
nourishing and easily digested article
Of food. The Parisians devOur one
hundred million of them every vim
ter, and we do not doubt that these
statements are perfectly correct. In
fact, instances have come under our
observation where fresh fruit had an
immediate effect in checking bilious
tendencies in individuals, and we
have heard of whole districts where
bilious diseases became prevalent up
on the failure of the fruit crop. Fruit
growers may therefore, count upon
constantly increasing demand for the
products of their orchards and gar
dens, as the health-giying properties
of fruit become known.

Origin Of the Phrase acknowledging

Hon. Andrew Stewart has been
nominated for Congress IN the West

when Henry Clay and Daniel Web

incident which gave the origin of the

Rarharnns InSnrrectiOn.

Large numbers of Chinese Coolies
laborers in a condition OF fsemi-slavery-
are employed on the large coffee, rice
and other plantations in portions of
South America. About $50 miles from
Lima, in Chill, several thousand are
employed, under overseers. For some
months past symptoms of dissatisfaction
have been exhibited, and reached a eul-
mination on September 4th, on the ar
rival of a paymaster from Lima. On this
night about HOO Chinese first attacked
and murdered several families, robbed
and burned houses, then advanced ts
attack small village. In the meantime
the owner Of an estate that lay on the
road to that village was notified by a
friendly COolie Of the approach and de-
signs of the marauders. Hastily placing
his wife and family in the chapel belong
ing to the plantation, he, with another
friend, strongly barred the doors and
received the advancing column with the
fire of their rifles. The Chinese were
vigorous in their attack, but, being un-
accustomed to the use Of firearms, they
fell easily before the defenders Of the
church. In less than two hours these
two brave men had killed and wounded
desperate, indeed, had become the at
tempts of the latter that retreat was
determined upon and the accomplish
ment Of their design to sack the town.
Here the inhabitants had had time to
make some slight preparation for defense.
Impromptu breastwOrks were erected at
the entrance to the village, and forty
men, well armed, were posted behind
them to resist assault. In short time
the Chinese, reinforced to the number of
two thousand, appeared in front, and
actually sent their leader TO parley with
the defenders regarding surrender
Hardly had he opened his mouth when
a well-directed rifle ball put an end to
his existence. The Chinese, goaded to
madness, threw themselves upon the
barricade, and the fight for a few mo-
ments was hand to hand. The whites
suffered severely under the knives and
weapons of the assailants. Soon, how
ever, the power of gunpOwder began to
assert itself The Coolies retired to a
distance and appeared to be deliberating
upon their future movements. At this
iuncture the defender of the church,
having placed his family in a place of
safety and found several companions,
appeared in the rear, and commenced
such q vigorous fire upon them that in
short time all order was forgotten and
the insurgents were in headlOng flight.
kilograms had been sent to Lima, and
on the morning Of the 9th, the prefect,
with a couple Of hundred soldiers, ar
rived at the scene. The Chinese had
dispersed to the mountains. The SOL
diers, after securing the few who could
be fou16, started in pursuit and are still
on the march. The results of this terri
BILE tragedy was forty murdered among
the whites and nearly three hundred
Chinese killed, and the best crops de-
stroyed.

deprecated in its value" Our an
swer is that such a result is by no
means surprising considering the Der-
sistent and organized attacks to which
il has so long been subjected. The
wonder rather is that a very large
portion Of the bonds and debentures
are not now altogether worthless and
wiped out Of existence by the efforts
Of one or other Of the various parties
who, imagining that the creditors
were a mere rope of sand, void Of
anything like cohesion, and incapa-
bic Of acting together for their own
protection, hoped to find in the dis
sensiOn which they created, and the
want of confidence which they en-
gendered, the. means of securing the
railway at a merely nominal sum, or
by the cOnfiscatiOnOf the rights Of all
the inferior class Of securities. For
tunately the disgraceful conduct Of
the Erie directors in the management
Of their own property, and the utter
disregard which they have shown Of
the rights of foreign shareholders,
have at length awakened investors in
American railways to a sense Of their
danger, and the necessity Of union for
the protection of their interests. At
a time when confidence in this prop
erty was at its lowest ebb MessTs.
BischofIsheim and GOldschmidt had
the good sense to examine for them
selves the merits of this undertaking,
and, having satisfied themselves that
a great wrong was about to be inflct-
ed, had the courage to give support
to the plan proposed for releasing the
company from the apparently mex
tricable entanglements which had
been woven around it. The high
in which this firm is so de-
servedly held, both here and on the
Continent, and the business-like man
ner in which they have put the
scheme before the creditors, have Sc
cured the confidence Of bond and de-
benture holders, completely disarm-
ed all opposition, and brought the
scheme Of reorganization to a point
at which a triumphant success may
now be speedily anticipated. The
history of railway or jOint-stOck en-
terprise does not present a more re-
display Of public confidence
than has been afforded by the deposit
with Alessrs. BischOffsheim and Gold
schmidt, including the assents, a little
short Of 10000, 900 sterling of the
bonds and debentures Of the Atlantic
and Great Western Company; and
the besi possible evidence Of the fair
ness and justice Of the scheme of re-
organization proposed is to be found
in the fact that during the whole time
that the arrangements for the cOnver-
sion have been going on not a credit
or Of the company has expressed his
dissent from the scheme, with the eX-
of course, of the small sec
ton whose representatives were
working more or less under the intlu-
ence Of hostile and interested parties.
After what has been so successfully
accomplished in the present case, even
in the Erie Railway may
look forward with confidence to ulti-
mate success in their endeavOrs to OBJ
tain justice.

CHRISTIAN PATIENCE. Il could
write down twenty cases wherein
wished God had done otherwise than
he did; but which, now see, had /
my own will, would have led to eX-
tensive mischief. The life of a Chris
tian IS a life Of ParadOxes. He must
lay hold of God; he must follow hard
after him; he must determine not to
let him go. And yet he must learn to
let God alone. Quietness before God
is the most difficult of all Christian
graees-tO sit where He places US: to
be what He would have US be, and
this as long as he pleases. 1t may
seem a harsh, but il is a wise and gra-
ciOus dispensatiOn toward a man,
when, the instant he stretches out his
hand to order his affairs, God forces
him to withdraw it. Concerning what
is morally good or evil we are suffi-
eiently informed for our direction:
but concerning what Is naturally good
or evil we are Ignorance itself. Rest
lessness anu self-will are opposed to
our will in these eases.-CeciL.

WALK ERECT.-An erect gait gives
TO q woman a queenly appearance, and
to men an air of manliness, integrity
and fearlessness. To bend forward or
downward while walking indicates
debility, depression or mental trouble,
and always aggravates itself and pro-
notes disease. Pads and supports are
all pernicious, and are worse than use
less, because they teach the system to
rely on them, and cannot support one
part of the body, without causing an
unnatural strain on some other part.
There is always one easily available
successful method of acquiring an
erect, manly gait, without any HaRteri-
al effort or feeling of awkwardness.-
Let the chin be a little above the hOri-
zontal line, which is easily done by
keeping tbe eye fixed on the top of
some persons hat or bonnet in front
of YOU. The habit of this erect car
riage may be facilitated by accustom-
ing yourself, when at home in the gar
den, or other places, to walk with
hands behind, held one in another,
and the head thrown up, as is done in
smoking a cigar or in singing a tune.

TRUE MARTYRDOM.-Iti is true that
fire borne for the sake of truth, is
martyrdOm but the hand burnt in
ascetic severity does not give the
crown of martyrdom, nor even inspire
the martyrs feeling. Fastings such
as Saint Paul bore, from inability to
get food, give spiritual strength; but
fastings endured for mere exercise
often do more than produce feverish-
ness of temper. This holds good.
likewise of bereavement. The loss of
those dear to us-relatives and friends
when it is borne as coming from
God, has the effect of strengthening
and purifying the character. But to
bring sorrow willfully upon ourselves
can be of no avail toward improve
ment. The difference between these
two things lies in this: That when
God infiicts the blow, he gives the
strength; but when you give it to
yourself, God does not promise aid
Be sure this world has enough Of the
cross in it. Be sure there will always
be enough of humiliation, and shame,
and solitariness for each man to bear,
if he be living the Christ life. They
need not be self-inflicted.-E W. Rob

FEED MY LAMBS. our Lord
Jesus Christ stood by the quiet shores
Of the Sea Of Galilee, and said to
Peter, Feed my lambs" he spoke a
voice that was heard Immediately by
only that little company of friends,
but he uttered a principle which
though unknown to the PHILOSOPHERS
Of the world, and which if known by
the Pharisees and Sadducees would
have been utterly scOrned by them,
vet a principle which was to be a
power in the world to unheave its
foundations and shake it to its centre.
For the growth of the church of Jesus
Christ, from that time to this, has
been principally through the training
Of the children of the church. And
at this period of the Christian era we
are beginning, more than any other
period, to appreciate this most impOs-
ing and important fact.-.H0wqrsf
