from their debts unobstructed by the fifty per
cent clause, so. called, another opportunity Of
fcrs to secure the benefits of this most effective

prices which cannot fail to be satisfactory. DO

thus save parties the trouble and expense OF
seversl trips to Alcxandria in beginning and
proceeding with their cases. Discharges can
be obtained here before Register Hill as prompt

find no one to carry his turkey home. An
old gentleman stepped up and asked him
where he lived. On being told, he said |:
"That is just in my way. will carry
it for you.
So they walked on side by side until
they came to the young mans house,
when he offered to pay the other.
"Oh, Til not charge anything" was the
reply. "You are welcome. 1t was all in
my way, and no trouble to me-"
"Who is that polite old man that
brought home my turkey?' asked the
young man of bystander.
"Oh, that is Judge Marshall, Chief
Justice Of the United States" was the
answer.
"Why did he bring home my turkey p

American SlengesA JUNIOR Partner
Buying Goods in London.
The utter ignorance of the English of
the Specification Of American slang ex-
pressions often causes some very curious
scenes among them and our Yankee buy
ers in England, who think that because
their language generally is understood, all
their American idioms will be also. An
expert buyer, junior partner in one Of
our large American firms, at recent first
visit TO his correspondent in an English
manufacturing city, was complimented by
the senior partner of the house, who in.
sisted on personally showing goods to his
American buyer.

Mrs. SLocUH, who is editing the St.
Charles Herald, during the absence of her
husband, and attending generally to oil
the business of the paper, does not favor
the petition now before the Legislature, to
strike the word "male," from the Consti-
tuition. She says:
If these "woman's rights women who
are continually harping upon this subject,
and making themselves ridiculous in the
eyes of sensible people would stay at home,
and attend to their household duties, nurse
their babies, and train up their children in
the way which God directs, and exercise
healthy, moral and refining influence
upon the community, they would do their
country greater service than all the ballots
they could cast in lifetime.
There are not many true women who
will dissent from the above.

FIND FAULT IN PR1vATE.-Find fault,
when you must find fault, in private, if
possible, and some time after the offence,
rather than at the time. The blamed are
less inclined to resist when they are blam-
ed without witnesses. Both parties are
calmer, and the accused person may be
struck with the forbearance Of the accuser,
who has seen the fault and watched for a
private and proper time for mentioning
it. Never be harsh or unjust with your
Children or servants. Firmness, with
gentleness of demeanor and regard to
the feelings, constitutes that authority
which is always respected and valued. If
you have any cause to complain of a
servant, never speak hastily wait at all
events, until you have had time to reflect
the nature of the offence.
