Madam RumOr is yery unreliable
creature, vet she has more believers
than the Christian religion. Her faint

the trumpet blasts of truth. 1t is
strange, but as true as it is strange, that
the more extravagant and unreasonable
her reports the greater is the confidence
placed in her word. There are tens of
thousands who believe every bad re-
port, and shake their heads with grave
suspicion over every good one. They
are quick TO Mace raseality and bypoc-

FAITH IN HIMsELF.--lt is said that while
John c. Calhoun was in Yale college he was
rdiculed by his fellow students for his intense
application to study. "Why, sirs,'' nc replied,
81 am forced to make the most or my time that
may acquit myself cicdtably when in Con
gress." A laugh followed, when he exclaimed:
"Do you doubt il | assure you IL | were not
convinced Of my ability to reach the national
Capitol as representative within the next
three years, would leave college this very day.
Let every young man thus have faith ia him
self aud take earnestly hold of light, scornng
! all props and buttresses, all criHces and lifu
preserers. Let him believe, w,,h Pes,ato<zt.
that no man on Gods earth is either willing or
able to help any other mali. Let him strive 20
be creator, rather than an inberitor-to he
queath, rather than TO borrow. Instead of
welding the rusty sword oi yalorous iorefahers,
lei him forge his own weapons, and, concious
OF God in him and the providence over him, let
him light bis own own battles With his own
lance. irslead OF sishng for an education,
capital Or friends, and declaring that ''If he
only had these, he would be sombody," let him
remember that, az Horace Greeley said, he is
looking through the wrong end of the telescope;
that il he only were somebody, nc would specd-
ly have all the boons whose absence he is be-
waillng. Instead Of being one Of the toiled po :
tentalities, of which the world is 40 full =
one Of the subiunetive heroes, who always
might, could, would, Of should, do great things,
but whose not doing great things is what nobody
can UNDERSTANDABLE linn be in the imperative
mood, and do that Of which his talents are
indicative. This lesson OF sell reliance once
learned aud acted on, and every man will dis
cover within himself, under God, the elements

A NEW JERSEY LEuESD.-About one hun

sect called Rogerencs settled and built a village
on the southwestern border Of Lake HopatcOng,
which lies between the counties of Morris and

reciprocated. But an Indian Chief Black
Hawk, also fell In love with Marie ior such was

man. One night Marie and her lover went sail

Bishops Rock, and there remained for several
hours, when the girl, noticing how fast the time
was passing, proposed that they should return
home. The young man rose up accordingly,
but had no sooner gained his feet than he siid-
