Manners.

Manners are more important tGan
money. A boy who is polite and
pleasant in his manners will always
have friends, and will not often make
enemies. Good behavior is essential
to prosperity. A boy feels we'll when
he docs well. If yoa wish to make
everybody pleasant about you, and
gain friends wherever you go, cnlti-
yste good manners. Many boys have
pleasant manners for company, and
ugly manners for home.
We visited smell railroad town,
not long since, and were met at the de-
pot By little boy Of about eleven or
twelve years, who conducted Us TO the
house Of his mother, and entertained
and cared for US, in the absence OF his
father, with as much polite attention
and thoughtful care as the most culti-
vated gentleman could have done. We
sa;d this to hi, mother before VS. left
her home, "You are greatly blessed in
your son, he is so attentive and oblig-
ing"
"Yes," she said, "I can always de-
pend On Charley when his fsthsr i:
absent. He is q great hslp and COM
fort to nae." Che said thi5 as If II did
her heart good to acknowledge the
cleverness Of her SOD.
Tie best manners cost 90 little, mad
are worth 80 much, that every boy can

Anecdote Of Dr. Cox.

Some years ago a ne- church at
Lockport, New York, belonging 10 the
Presbyterian society OF which the Rev.
William G. Wisner, D. D., has long
been the very popular pastor, Wzs TO be
dedicated. A large number ofdiyines
of that denomination from Rochester
aud vicinity having been invited, LETT

Among the party was the distinguish

body Of snow being upon the grouad. q

miles before it became blocked in the

effort wss made, did not succeed in

The Power Of the imagination
,lyer the Body.

By working on the imagination
many cure, which have haffled ths
skill Of the most scientific physicians
have been effected by some iEnoiant
ausck, some Boosting chariatan. Even
under peculiar circu instances the genu-
inc medical man resers5 to Srtihce. tie
administer, soma inert article-a bread
dill, for instanee-and trusts to the
workings OF the imagination foracufe-
Now, we have heard very singular
and amusing circumstance connecsed
with this. y lady had besn treated
for some time by g doctor for a nervous
disorder. She did not. ia her own cs-
timation, improve, and she wished the
doctor to give her more medicine; bat
he advised her to the contrary, and
woul-i not prescribe for her. But still
she insisted that something more must
be done for h9r, and was about send-
ing offfor quack, when the physician,
learning her determination, adopted
the following course. He told hsT shat
he had just thought Of remedy which
had never failed in curing I disease
like hers. He gave her sa oddly shai-
ed vial, with directions that she was
TO smell it at certain hours. To bring
her imagination into play be told her
that the first day she would have q
headache, the second day an itching
about the breast, and on the third day
would be perfectly we'll On each Gay
She complained OF the effects which he
described, said tire remedy operated
precisely as 10 had stated, and that
she was getting much better. On the
third daysho declared herself perfect
+ ly well. This is certainly very re-
markabls circumstance, bat it is true
nevertheless.
Buc there is O more extraordinary
one On record of the Imagination cus-
ing the uost fatal disea e. During the
siege OF Bredarin, Holland, ia l6z3,
when the garrison was on the point of
snrrendering TO the enemy ON account
of the serrvy. the Prince OF Orange OF

be carried into the forHss. and distrib-
uted among the scorbutics. 1t was
stated to be an infallible specific, most
valuable, and that one or two drops
could effect cure. 1t was then shared
among the soldier. in doses OF few
drops. Those who had not moved
their limbs for months were seen
walking in the streets, sound, straight,
and n mole. Many who declared they
had been rendered wo;oa by other
remedies recovered in a few days

ASSAULT Win INTENT TO KnL.-Allen Moulton
appeared before the Mayor, this morning, on q
charge OF assault with intent to kill b. F. Kauff-
man. The testimony in the case showed
that Moulton was awakened in the night
by the supposed noise Of burglars, and seizing
pistol ran down stairs in search of the intru-
deFs. he ran into several rooms in quest of
those whom he supposed to be in the house and
among the rest the room Of Kaufman. Now,
Moulton and Kaufman had disturbance some
time ago, and 1t was alleged that the action Of
the former was only feint to obtain revenge
upon the lAttsr-that his object was to provoke
an assault and in the melee to shoot Kaufman.
noulton was therefore arrested and held in $500
bond to keep the peace.

smith were fined Scots. and costs for drunken

AGAIN fRAHPLED UNDER FOOT By A
DEMOCRATIC LRGIsLATURR.

0kkockATIC LE0IsLATUR1.
Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted,
once more, to refuse to the people equal rel re-
ssnsailon in the Legislature. The test vote was
taken upon resolution, to the following effect,
g. that q joint committee consisting Of
two members on the part Of the Senate, ard
three On the part Of the House, be appointed,
with instructions to report bill authorizing and
requiring the election Of greater number OF
Senators and Representative than is now pro-
vidsd for by law, and apportiouing them to the
several counties OF the State on the just and
equitable basis of population"
This resolution was introduced by LsNis
Thompson, of this county, early in February.
and has been lying upon the table of the
House, waiting the time when the members of
that body, yielding to the overwhelming justice
Of the proposition, should at last be ready to
give 1t their adhesion. That time has never
come. The resolution. bsing at last called up,
was killed by q party vots-evsry Republican
for it. but eusIy Democrat against il
This is the last time that Democratic Lsgis-
lAture will dispose Of this great question. The
capital is placed on the column of Democratic
hostility to Equal Representation. The proof ia
produeed that that party does not mean do to JUS
tcs or even pretend to do justice to the disfran-
ehised citizens of the State and that it holds its
power, only becaus: the majority of the Legis-
lature is created by minority OF the people
Ali that We have charged against the Demo
cratic organization with regard to this question,
IL thus justified. We have challenged our polt-
ieal opponents to prove themselves the friends
of Reform, but We have predicted that no chal-
