Federal troops have been kept ac,ivc in

Things we Like to See.

We like to see young ladies who are Bit
ter enemies kiss each other very affection
ately when they meet. It reminds us of a
man named Judas who lived several years
ago. We like to see a fashionably dressed
lady p~romenading the streets wearing a blue
silk dress, trailing a yard behind her in the
mud-it cleans the street so nicely. We
like to see young men very polite to other
young ladies, who are scarcely civil to their
sisters at home-it proves that the lords of
creation are void Of deception. We like to
see little boys come to church in the evening,
and amuse themselves by sticking pins in
their sleepy neighbors-it shows that they
are not burying their talents in the earth
We like to see a man invariably throw his
newspaper, boots and hat on the floor tor
his tired wife to pick up-it is evidence that
he remembers the promise to ''cherish her L
We like to see the choir spend the time du-
ring the divine service in whispering telling
stories-it helps us to appreciate the sermon
and convinces us that they are capable Of
singing with the spirit and the understand
ing also" We like to see young ladies
keep their jaws in constant motion endeav'
oring to masticate a huge ball Of chewing
CUNT looks so lady-like! We like to Sc.
a man sporting fast horses, while he owes
the printer and gives nothing to the minis
teri looks honorable! There are many
other things which we like to see, but VT

The RICH AND THE Poor -Wha is
wealth 7 Wealth is whatever men cap real
ize from Nature for their sustenanoe aud en-
joyment. Labor is what realizes it. Pru-
dence saves from it, and the saving becomes
capital, which helps to extend and multiply
the operations of labor, and thus creates
more capital. The wealthy are composed
Of those who have inherited property from
others, those who have acquired it acciden'
tally, and thpae who have realized 1t for
themselves. The poor, in like manner. are
composed of those who have inherited pow
erty from others, those. who have become
poor through accident, and those who have
brought poverty upon them. Tho most ia
miliar mode of producing poverty is by idle
ness. A man will not work he ~realise'
no wealth /; be Is of course poor. Or be
squanders In some absurd manner the earn
ings which be does realize, and thus remain,
equally poor as if he did not work. The
poverty arising from id!eness will only be
durable as it has ever been, by industry
That which comes from wastefulness viii
only be cured by economy.

A Chapter on Behaviour,

The following notes on what should be a
child's behaviour at home, we copy from an
old book of etiquette entitled 1.-The School
of Good Manners"
Make a bow always when you come home,
and be instantly uncovered.
Ro never covered at home, especially bs7
J fore thy parents or strongers. :
If thou passest by thy parents at any place
where thou seest them, either by themselves
or with company, bow towards them.
IL thou art goiog to speak to thy parents
and see them engaged in discourse with
company, draw back and leave thy business
until afterwards; but if thou must speak, be
sure to whisper.
Never speak to thy parents without some
title of respect, as sir, madam, &c.
Dispute not nor delay to obey thy pa
rents commands.
Go not out of doors without thy parents
leave, and return within the time by them
limited.
Come not into the room where, thy pa
rents are with strangers, unless thou art
called and then decently ; and at bidding,
20 out or if strangers come while thou art
with them, it is manners with a bow to
withdraw.
Use respectful and courteous, but not in
sulting or domineering carriage or language
towards the servants.
Quarrel not nor contend with thy breth-
rem or sisters, but live in love, peace and
unity.
Grumble not nor be disseminated az any
thing thy parents appoint, speak or do.
Bear with meekness and patience, and
without murmuring or sullenness, thy pa
rents %rcproofs or corrections ; nay, though
it should happen that they be causeless or
undeserved.

A Recommendation,

A gentleman advertised for a boy to as
sist him in his office and nearly fifty appli-
cants presented themselves to him. Out of
the whole number he in a short time select.
ed one and dismissed the rest.
Il should like to know" said a friend,
son what ground you selected that boy who
had not a single recommendation"
"You are mistaken" said the gentleman :
''he had a great many. He wiped his feet
when he came in. and closed the door after
him showing that be was careful he gave
up his seat instantly to that lame old man,
showing that he was kind and thoughtful !;
he took of his cap when he came in, aud
answered my questions promptly and re-
spectfully, showing he was polite; be
picked up the book which I had purposely
laid on the floor and replaced it on the table
while all the rest stepped over it, or showed
it aside; and he waited quietly for his turn
instead Of pushing aud crowding, showing
that he was orderly. When L talked with
him, l noticed that his clothes were careful
ly brushed, his hair in nice order and his
teeth brushed and when be wrote his name,
[ noticed that his fnger nails were clean,
instead Of being tipped with jet, like thai
handsome little fellows in the blue jacket.
Don't you call those things letters of recon.
mendation !? ! do, and | would give more
for what I can tell about a boy by using my
eyes ten minutes, than all the fine letters he
can bring me-"
