A BEaaARs FORTUNE

Street begging is frequently .
profitable biusiness, but all tho beg
gars do not turn out SO prospcrously
as one Cadamatori, an Italian pro-
fessional beggar, who settled down
in st. Louis in 1851. With the aid
Of his family he has amassed from
the streets Of St. Louis, a fortune of
$4,000. As epilcd up his money
he engaged, as a side issue, in aome
real estate speculations, and also in
the saloon business, but he relied
mainly on his original calling; his
wife and children we're always in
the streets, where the bulk of this
fortune was made. He finally de-
cided to retire on his honors, and re-
turned to Italy with his fortune,
leaving his wife and children to shift
for themselves. After some years,
he learned from countryman who
had arrived from ST. Louis, that his
family were doing finely in his alb
sence, that his daughter Mary laid
up twelve thousand dollars as tho res
suit Of her appeals to public sympa-
thy. The avaricious old man hasti>
ly returned to this'country,. and de-
manded his daughters money, which
she very properly refused to give up.
He thereupon carried his suite into
the Circuit Court of St. Louis coun-
ty. After a lengthy trial the jury
have Just returned a verdict in fa-
vor ofthe7 daughter.nip @af

INDEPENDENT ACTION.

How useless it is to rely on atlie
world!"{ If you would pass through
life in the easiest manner, shrink
from nothing in itself virtuous and
rational. Venerate only that which
IL inherently and changclessly right.
Release your mind from the tram
mels If conventionaIism, and suffer
no other restraint upon your acts
than that imposed by conscience and
the Bible /; so will you insure sweet
immunity from countless petty cares
and annoyances, acquire an ever-in-
creasing strength Of character and
build on firm and durable ba-
sis that inward respect for yourself
whicffis intellectually more to be
valued than the changeful approval
Of artificial people. - -

Twc-FAcED MEN.

There are two faced men to be
found in all communities. They
endeavor to play a double game in
the great drama of life that may be
sure Of success They try to divide
themselves so as to be able to lap in
on both sides of every question that
is agitated. They are afraid of
their own shadow, lest it should
reflect and expose the corrupt and
craved spirit that is wrapped up in
the substance. Their whole life is
one Of base deception, and their
actions are shams and counterfeits,
They encourage what they know to
be wrong, and timidly sustain that
which they admit is right. They
are apparently frank andsoutspoken
when the tide Of public opinion all
runs in one channel, but as soon as
they discover that there is a division
of sentiment on subject they sud
denly become mute, or show signs Of
extraordinary liberality Of opinion
towards both sides, Force them to
AN expression of opinion and you will
extort from them a kind of compro-
mise "a little in favor Of one side,
and an excuse in favor of tho other.
They act as though their very exis-
tencc depended on making every
body believe that they agree with
everybody, They BECOME recon
ciled 10 what they formerly profess
cd to despise +; or il mot rceonciled
they are as quiet as sucking doves,
and as tame towards both sides as
house cats, They assign no reason
for their ,lamb- like conduct. 5, They,
are devoid Of the proper elements
that constitute,true manhood. They
are without mental force to sustain
themselves in the battle Of life, and
dodge about trying to please every
body, until they BECAME hateful im
the estimation of all. Such charac,
ters are as ephemeral as they are.
contemplate, in the eyes Of men Of
principle. Such characters, when
expedient for their interests, have,
CAB for all parties, and principles fqr
every emergency !; but the people,
are TOO sharp to be deceived in this
manner, and those who think they
are swimming along smoothly and
unnoticed in the political waters, will,
before they are aware Of it, be
drowned in their own corruption
with no friends to save them. 1t
is a game of political lcdgerdemain
that cannot be successfully played.
Give us open candor. We can
have some respect for rascal when
he has independence enough to
defend them but the man who
wears two faces, whose soul is too
small to feel that he has right to
enjoy his own will, and who is too
sycophantic to express his honest
convictions, deserves the reprobation
of all honorable men.

POETRY.

Poetry is the interpreter of the
soul, and translates all thought into
one language. While we eat the
fruits of autumn, it reminds US Of
the blossoms of spring and while
we inhale the odorous breatI, of May,
il foreteIls the frosts Of December.
1t makes the marble of the sculptor
live, tho canvas Of painter speak,
and the anvil of the artizan ring a
chime. 1t is the handmade of relig-
ion; the rose in the wreath of the
bride, and the chaplet Of the dead |;
the mirth and tho music of the mar
rage, and the awe and silence Of
the, burial. 1t is the voice Of peace,
the song of love, and the sigh of sor-
row. 1t sparkles in the smile Of
hope, and glitters in the tear Of re-
greet. It's seen in ths downcsst
eyes of modesty, and in the ingen-
uous expression Of manhood, II is
heard in the song of a robin, seen in
the shape of a dove, or felt II 10 the
down of q swan. 1t is truly beauti>
full, and the beautiful truth.

THE MODEL NEGRO FARMER.
Monroe Advertiser.

ANN'''i"~ ~AN ~
The model negro farmer buys an
old mule or blind horse on a credit,
rents land either for part of the
crop or SO many bales Of cotton, pros
cures tools as best he can, buys corn,
bacon, etc., for which he gives lien
on his crop. And then, about April,
he commences to prepare for plant
ing corn, either breaking or laying
off in rows, to break out the middles
after the corn is up. Corn planting
over, he proceeds, some time in
May, to prepare for cotton. "Cuf-
fee, gwine to use any juanner2 No,
bless your life, Use not gwne to buy
iuanner to put on other folks lam"
Well, after dinner, some sultry even
ing, he saunters from his hut and,
after surveying his prospects, he
says: "Whew! sun gitten hot;
time rse plantin' my cotton" =
Hitches up his mule TO his one-horse
cart, and off he goes to hunt cotton
seed. Well after cotton planting,
then for fish and hunt. Some June
Monday morning he wakes up. about
one or two hours by SUN, and after
breakfast, he bitches up his mule to
run round his corn after treating
his cotton in somewhat the same
way, he proceeds to chopping. Then
for another big freiic,, TO say nothing
about going to his meetings and TO
town every Saturday. After this
fashion he gets through the year
He then takes what little cotton to
market he makes and sells it for
provision bills, return his mule to its
former owner, and goes home broke,
consoling himself by saying, "If |
didn't get any money, I'se had a
heap Of freedom" He takes down
his plank and fire coal, and figures
thus
is naught, S is figure,
All for de account, and none for de niger.
He lays his plank back up in the
crack and while reaching outfor the
poker to pull out his potatoes from
the fire, he breaks out whistling his
favorite song, "Nigger work hard all
de year, White man tote dc money
and thus he is happy.
