A Frenchman, resolved to be rid of lite,
went, little before high tide, 20 post set IL !,
by the sea side. He had provided him
self with ladder, a rope. pistol bun
die of matches, and vial of poison. Ascend
ing the ladder, he tied on- end of the rope to
the post, set his clothes on fire. put the muz-
zle of the pistol to his head, and kicked away
the ladder. In kicking away tie ladder, he
SlOped the pistol Sd that the ball missed his
head, and cut through the rop, by which he
was suspended; he fell into the sea, thus ex-
tinguishing the flames of his clothes, and the
sea water which he involuntarily swallowed
counteracted the poison; and thus, in spite of
his precautions, he remained unhanged, un-
shot, imprisoned, unburned, and undro wued.

VERY COOP SENrIMENrs.-AN North Adams

VERY Coop SENrIMENTs.-AN North Adams
shoemaker thus delivered himself the other
day on the subject of Chinese competition:
when manufacturers who represent cap-
tai, consent to let a workingman buy all his
goods in the open markets of the world, as
a workingman will admit his right; mine nav-
ing b Ell admitted. What object to is pay
ing his prices and working at his prices too.
If he has the to buy his labor in the lowest
market, have an equal right to buy my
goods in tn lowest market. Let him try the
experiment of competing with foreign goods,
and rm willing, for one, to compete with for
eign labor. When he consents to free trad ,,
I'll consent to admit his right in the other
particular; but to compel me- to buy his goods
by preventing importation with tariffs, when
he refuses to buy my labor at my Rates, is no
justice, and no argument can make justice out
of it,"

A TRUTHFUL SKETCH.-Let q man fail in
business, what a, wonderful effect it has on
his former friends. Men who had taken him
by the arm, laughed and chatted with him by
tue hour, shrug up their shoulders and pass
him by with chilling show do you dol"
Every triflng bill is hunted up and presented,
that would not have seen daylight for months
to come but for the misfortune Of the debtor.
If it is paid well and good; if not, the scowl
of the sheriff perhaps he meets at the corner.
4 man that never failed knows but little of
human nature. In prosperity he sails along
gently waited by favoring smiles and kind
words from everybody. He prides himself
on his good name and spOtless character, and
boasts that he has not an enemy in the world.
Alas, the chauge. He looks upon the world
in different light when rsverses come upon
him. He reads suspicion on every brow. He
hardly knows how to move, or whether to do
this thing or the other-fOr there are spies
about him and writ ready for his back. To
understand what kind of stuff the world is
made of, IL person must be unfortunate, and
stop payment cnce in his lifetime. If no has
kind friends, then they are made manifest.
A failure is moral seive-it brings out the
wheat and leaves the chaff. A man thus
learns that works and pretended good will
,la not constitute real friendship.
