Keen Ont OfDebt,

Half the perplexity, annoyance
and trouble that men see in this
world is in consequence Of getting in
debt. 1t seems to be natural for
some people to buy and incur obli-
cations without measure, so long as
they can avoid paying ready cash.
Give one of this sort a chance to
buy on credit, and the question Of
price and conditions of payment are
matters that he cares but little about.
But what a crop of trouble springs
up from the seed of debt How
many sleepless nights result from it,
how many gray hairs it brings, and
how often it shOrtens life !-some-
times leading men to commit sui
eide or murder. And yet how easy
thing it is to keep clear of this ter
rible monster. Every young man
should form a fixed and unalterable
determination, before commencing
his active business career, not to in
cur one dollar of Indebtedness under
any circumstances. Never borrow.
Never buy anything unless you have
the money to pay for it at once.
Pay no attention to "splendid Op-
portunities," "bargains," 'rare
chances" and the like. Such affairs
are the traps which Debt sets to
catch victims. If you should see
anything that you would like to buy,
or if an offer is made that you would
like to accept, look first at your
money pile, and make the answer
depend on that. Always pay as you
go. If you are short of money, you
gauge your plans accordingly. FOs-
ter habits of economy, live within
your means, buy nothing that you
cannot properly afford, and you vii
go on through life free from the mis-
cries and troubles that ever beset tht
paths of the debtor.

A Timely Lesson.

It is said to be difficult thing for
woman to get ready to go anywhere
And yet there is nothing she dislikes
more than an intimation that she may
possibly miss the train. Brayfogle gives
an instance of this. Mr.. Bray. was to
take the ten o'clock train on the Bee
Line to visit some relatives in an inte-
rior town. Having suffered on previous
occasions for iniudlcious suggestions,
Bray. thought that for once he would
let things take their natural course. So
he slipped his coffee and eat his eggs
and toast, while Madame eurled and
powdered, and danced attendance to
the Iooking-glass, and tied bark on the
back of her head. Then Bray. sat by
the stove an hour and read the morning
paper, while Madame still continued to
get ready. At last, just as he reached
the final paragraph Of reading-matter,
and was beginning on the advertise
ments, Madame tied her bOnnet-strings
under her chin, took one long, lingering
look at the image reflected in the glass,
and sweetly announced:
"Well, dear, Pm ready"
"Ready fer what p asked Bray. in
well-afected astOnishment.
ITO go to the depot, to be sure, said
Mrs. Brayfogle, tartly.
"Oh ~ said Bray. "I'd forgotten {;
we'll, Madame, - continued he, looking at
his watch, "the train has been gone
thirteen minutes. Just keep on your
things and you will be ready for to-
morrow"

Select Miscellany.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
THE DAVIDSON FOUNTAIN.

"oNE WHOSE NAME WAS WRIT IN wGTER."
These were the sadly spoken words,
OF one whose song was like the birds
Soaring while singing.
Nor dreamed how bright his namo should glow
While shines the sun, or falls the snow,
The seasons bringing.
Oh city OF the golden West,
His fame shall ever firmly rest
As rock or mountain,
While flowing water, pure and free,
Shall tell Ats name, who gave to thee,
This noble fountain.
Its sparkling waters, cool and clear
Shall soothe and charm each weary ear
While upward springing,
Backward with joyous splash to fall
A cooling, precious draugbt to ell,
Forever bringing.
Emblem Of truth, pure and divine,
For ages may thy waters sbins,
In joyous duty,
Where weary men may freely drink
PausIug awhile. to gaze and think
or thy rare beauty.
Far in the long ago a woman frail
Came to g welI-So reads the tale
For water only.
There, resting by the mOssy brink,
Sat one who asked Of her to drink,
A traveller lonely.
Then 10 her wondering, eager ear
He spoke of living waters clear,
Flowing forever;
That those who drank should ns'er again
Know Thirst, or Wearinoss, or pain,
Never, oh nevsrI
May each and all some truth here find,
While hope and trust in human kind,
'Tis ever saying.
It's music falls on grateful ears
It's work through all the coming yeard
is ossSelels playing.
And thus in water let his name
Sparkle with ever growing fame,
And tell the story,
How we'll ha loved his fellow man,
How beautiful his thoughts to plan
This thing Of glory.
More eloquent than marble cold,
More rythmical than words OfgOd,
Its murmurB ever,
In LIQUID music's tiAkling fall,
win speak to every heart, and all
viii bless the givsr.

Home Manners.

Young folks should be mannerly.
How to be so is the question. Many
a good girl and boy feel that they
cannot behave to suit themselves in
the presence of company. They
feel timid, bashful, aud self-distrust-
full the moment they are addressed
by a stranger, or appear in cOmpa-
nv. There is but one way to get
over this feeling and acquire grace
ful and easy manners, that is, to do
the best they can all the time. at
home, as well as abroad. Good
manners are not learned from ar
bitrary teaching 50 much as aequir-
ed from habit. They grow upon US
by use. We must be courteous,
agreeable, civil, kind, gentlemanly
and WomanIy at home, and then it
will soon become a kind Of second
nature to be so everywhere. A
coarse, rough manner at home be-
gets a habit of rOughness, which we
cannot lay of if we try, when we
90 among strangers. The most agree
able people we have ever known in
company are those that are perfect
/ Iy agreeable at home. Home is the
school for all the best things, esPe'
pecially for good manners.

ter Of his. He surveyed the lOWery
page with outward composure; but
within, his soul, was rent with e con-
vulsiOn of WOnderment and mirth
which was terrible.
"HoW in the world did I come by
that nOnsensical farrago 81 he asked
himself; "and how am. 1 ever to ex-
plain to this poor little soul p"
And suddenly it popped into his
head, ''why not ?" What with the
blue ribbons, and flushed cheeks,
the pleasant little room, his full
knowledge Of her sweet temper and
lady-like ways, the idea was not un-
attractive.
"Not a bad thing for any one OF
Us, F." he muttered half aloud.
"What did you say?7 inquired
Miss Usher.
"Isay," responded the doctor with
great presence Of mind, "that you
have heard enough, quite enough, Of
this agitating topic for tonight. You
won't sleep a wink tonight if let
you go on. Go to bed at once,
please, and tomorrow III come
again and discuss it thoroughly.
And after a gallant Ieave-taking, he
stole out on the professional tip-toe,
saying to himself: "I'n sleep over il
at all events"
I need go no farther. When q
widower asks himself "Why not ?'i
and decides TO "sleep over it." the
case is settled beyond a peradven-
ture.
I don't think Miss Usher, now
Mrs. Raymond, knows to this day
exactly how it was; though the doc
tor cleared himself some time latel
of the responsibility of the verses
And I shall never believe, to my
dying moments, that the idea would
ever have entered his head had i
not been for the accident to Bob's lit
tie venture. Poor Bob! That Cupid
with parti-eolored wings, failed il
his duty as far as he was concerned
but then he turned around ant
wOve a spell for two other people
and perhaps that is as much as on
can expect of Cupid.

SnOking-s'Isn'f it Worse for a
Man?''

It is two years since I left off the
use of tobacco. 1 certainly did en-
Joy my cigar. I prided myself on
my fine Havanas, and might have
been seen almost any morning with
one in my mouth, walking down to
business and putting away in most
comfortable manner.
Why I left off was this: I had a
little son about six years of age. He
almost always hurried to be ready
to walk down with me as far as his
school. His bright face and extended
hand were always welcome, as he
bounded along beside me, chatting
as only such dear little fellows can.
The city has in it many uncared for
boys, whose chief delight seems to
be to pick up pieces of discarded
cigars and broken pipes, and with
their hands in their pockets, to puff
away in q very inelegant manner.
One morning it seemed as if little
Edgar and met a great many OF
those juvenile smokers. 1 became
very much, disgusted, and pointing
them out to little Edgar as sad warn
ings of youthful delinquency, talked
quite largely, and said the authori-
ties ought to interfere and put q
stop to such q public nuisance.
A little voice, soft and musical
came up to me as I gave an extra
puff from my superb Havana. A
bright little face was upturned and
the words "Isn't it worse for a man
father ?" came to my ears. looked
down at the little fellow at my side
when his timid eye fell, and the
color mounted on bis boyish check
as if he feared he had said some
thing bold and uniting. "DO You
think it worse for a man, Edgar p
Iasked.
"Please, father, 1 think boys
would not want to smoke if men die
not do it."
Here was the answer. I threw
away my cigar and have never
touched tobacco since in any form
land, having found that 1 am SC
much better withoutit, 1 never shall

For the LadIes,


A correspondent Of the San Francisco
Chronicle, who signed herself "ToE-
mented Woman" defines her position
thus: am pestered with offers. Now
I never offered to marry a man. IneVer
had the presumption to say to gentle
man, 'If you viii be my exclusive COM
.paniOn for life I will support you; I will
be a mother to your children. As to
congeniality, why I've only seen you in
company dress, but you please me in
that, and III take it for granted that in
all their intrieacies and complications
our natures will come into perfect SYM
pathy and cOnsanguinity with each 9TH
er." But men will make such PROPOSE
tions after a six weeks acquaintance,
when in reality they know no more Of
the woman whom they ask to marry
them than the man in the moon. There
are men who will proposemarriage to US,
whose business would keep them two
thirds of the time in the Wilds Of the
continent. They seem to imagine that
the honor Of their name and alliance
would be a sufficient compensation for a
life spent two-thirds one entirely sub
ject to the provisions of the baokwOods.
There are others, confirmed invalids,
who, because we are pleasing to them,
elect us to the station Of their nurses for
life. Others are as poor as poverty, yet
not for a moment do they hesitate to
offer us shares in their like poverty
Your men are deluged on this subject
Of matrimony. You meet a woman at
tractive to you, and forthwith You con-
clude that the be-all and end-all Of her
existence here is a place in your own
private cage, where she is to sing for
your own exclusive benefit. We pro-
pose soon to take hand in this worlds
little game; we are trying TO learn from
you how you have managed olong and
successfully to stock the cards; we pro-
pose to trump our share Of the tricks
and see that the honors are more equal
ly divided; we may not all vote, or
shrink, or ofieiate as platform statuary
for a Stanton or an Anthony, but things
are working; new deal all around is
being quietly shuHed out, and in q year
or two more some of you gentlemen
who deem all a woman's fitness to be
for making your beds, cooking your
food, serubbing your floors, and rocking
your cradles, will be astOnished by the
positions held by US.

Incident of the Chicago Fire

Incident of the Chicago Fire,
Mr.. Ford S. Wilson, the we'll
known banker, owned a beautiful
residence and grounds nearly Oppo-
site to Wright's Grove-a little par
adise, in which he had taken partic-
ular pride. At the near approach
of the fire, one of the neighbors urg-
ed Mr.. Wilson's family to betake
themselves to their carriages and
flee. They did so. They fed fol
their lives, and, along with thous
ands of others, sought the bleak
prairies, here they camped out fol
the night. Yesterday morning, Mr.
W. wandered back to gaze upon the
ruins of his happy home, when To-
there burst upon his astonished vi
sion, a green oasis in the desert. L
was his old home unscathed. Tit
fire had swept clean around it, miss
| ing it miracuIously. The happy fam
lily returned, taking many sufferer
along with them.

In some few sad lives there comes a
moment when the shadow Of death
passes over the soul, and does not touch
the body. After that we walk along our
appointed path through the world, and
laugh and talk, and buy and sell, and
marry and are given in marriage, may
be; and none of our friends, who hold
our hands, and wish Us GOd-speed on
our way, imagine, when they look into
our eyes, that we are dead that there il
no more light in the evening sky, nor
freshness in the morning dew that in
our hearts is neither hope nor fear, re-
gret, remembraRce, nor delight; only
so much of the red heart-throb as keeps
Up the show of life for other needs than
our own--onIy cold, dull patience, in
place Of a living soul.

the legislation Of Congress was un-
called for.
The death of Gen. Taylor and the
accession of Mr.. Fillmore, on the 9th
of July, 1850, precipitated the ques
tion and rendered the resignation of
Mr.. Ewing necessary. Hon, Thos.
Corwin was appointed Mr.. Ewing's
successor and Mr.. Ewing was ap-
pointed by the Governor of Ohio to
serve in the Senate the unexpired
term of Mr.. Corwin. During this
period he was an active defender Of
General TayIor's Administration.
He was opposed to the fugitive slave
law, as he also was to the comprO-
mise bill of Henry Clay.
He did not retire to private life
until 1851, when he returned to
Lancaster, his old home, and resum-
ed the practice of the law. He was
engaged as an attorney in many i'm
portant litigations requiring the ex-
ercise of the highest order of talent,
and always acquitted himself with
distinction and credit. His ability
as lawyer was only excelled by
his ability as a public speaker and a
statesman.
Mr.. Ewing's wife died some years
since. He leaves behind him six
children, this, we believe, being all
that were ever born to him. The
oldest of these, Judge P. B. Ewing,
is a resident of Lancaster, where be
is engaged in the practice of law.
His daughter, Ellen, is the wife of
General W. T. Sherman. The 9TH
ers are General Hugh Boyle Ewing,
Gen. Tom. Ewing, jr., Gen. Charles
Ewing, and Mrs. Theresa Steel, wife
of Colonel Steel.
Mr.. Ewing has been in failing
health for some three or four years
past, and his death had been antici-
pated for some weeks. Previous to
his decease he embraced the religion
of the Catholic Church, and receiv-
ed the sacrament at the hands of
Arch Bishop Purcell. His funeral
took place on Saturday, at IL A. NJ.
He retained his intellectual faculties
clear and undisturbed to the last
and suffered but little pain.
