A Capital Maxim.

LADY Mary Wortley Montague relates
the following story: Zone day, as an
ancient king of Tartary was riding with
his officers of state, they met dervise
crying aloud, To him that will give me
hundred dinars small pieces of money!,
/ will give piece of good advice" The
king, attracted by this strange declara
tion stopped, and said to the delv1se,
what advice is this that you offer lvI =
hundred dinars?' Sire replied the der
wise, | shall be most thankful to tell you
as soon as you order the money to be
paid me- The king, expecting to hear
something extraordinary, ordered the di-
mars to be given to the dervise at once;
on receiving which, he said, Sire, my
advice is, begin nothing without consid-
ering what the end may be-
"The officers of state, smiling at what
they thought ridiculous advice, looked at
the king, who they expected would be so
enraged at this insult as to order the der
wise to be severely punished. The king,
seeing their amusement and surprise,
said, | see nothing to laugh at in the adj
vice of this dervise; but, on the contrary,
/ am persuaded that if it were more fire.
quently practiced, men would escape
many calamities. Indeed, so convinced
am [ of the wisdom of this maxim, that |
shall have it engraved Oh my plate and
written on the walls of my palace, SO that
it may be ever before me- The king,
having thanked the dervise, proceeded
towards his palace; and on his arrival he
ordered the chief hey to see that the
maxim was engraved on his plate and on
the walls of his palace.
'SOme time after this occurrence, one
of the mobiles of the court, proud ambi-
tious man, resolved to destroy the king
and place himself on the throne. In
order to accomplish his bad purpose, he
secured the confidence of one of the kings
surgeons, to whom he gave a poisoned
lancet, saying, If you will bleed the king
with this lancet, | will give you ten thou
sand pieces of gold, and when [ ascend
the throne you Shall be my vizier This
base surgeon, dazzled by such brilliant
prospects, wickedly assented to the pro
pOsal.
can opportunity of effectlng his evil
design soon occurred. The king sent for
this man to bleed him. He put the poi
soned lancet into side pocket, and has
tened into the kings presence. The arm
was tied, and the fatal lancet was about to
be plunged into the vein, when suddenly
the surgeons eye read this maxim at the
bottom of the basin, Begin nothing with
out considering what the end may be-
He Immediately paused, as he thought
within himself, If bleed the king with
this lancet he will die, and [ shall be
seized and put to cruel death. Then of
what use will all the gold in the world be
to me?' Then, returning the lancet to his
pocket, he drew forth another The king,
observing this, and pc. ewing that he was
much embarrassed, asked why he changed

Our Trip TO Monroe.

Editors Herald
Saturday being beautiful and serene
day, we, with the early dawn ofight, COM
menced the preparation of our society
toilet, for the purpose of attending what is
termed Temperance Picnic, to be held at
the ancient and renowned city of East Mon
roe, which appearance called to our minds
forcibly the ruined cities of Sodom and
Gormorrah. Arriving at the grove we
were terminated with the sight of so many
personages so early assembled.
After thoroughly accommodating the sur
rounding sceneries, and learning there
would be no speaking until afternoon, we
began to seek some method of satiating
our furious and voracious appetites. Our
friends not knowing US so far from home,
and our attempts to obtain invitation to
a Square meal' being adverse, we quietly
and modestly repaired to our good friend
Mr. Joseph Worthington, where we greed
lily partook of the bountiful repast. Din
ner being finished, we soon returned to
| the scene, hearing the announcement
that Hon. Zimmerman and Mendenhall
were the anticipated orators. After re-
naming placid some two or three hours
longer than the appointed time for speak
ing, (nothing disturbing the profound 81
1ence except the merry voices of several
females. who seemed to be the only ones
enjoying themselves0 Hon. Zimmerman
was introduced, and proceeded to discourse
on the subject agitating the assembled
fpopulace. Apparently he failed. to inter
est the 'phair SEX" for no sooner begun
than they vanished like the dews on a
summers morn. Hon. MendenhaIl closed
the services with great honor and applause
We thought the subject of Temperance
long since exhausted, but never knew such
eloquent strains to flow from insane lips
before Being entirely exhausted with ia
tigue and excitement we prepared fol
home, resolved that if we can receive the
pardoning smile of the Deities, "Old
Bacchus'' may have his sway. (Propect

Fourth OfIuIy.

I'm the HERALD ofJune 18th, programme
for Union Celebration of the Fourth of
July by the Sabbath Schools of the county,
with the Fire Companies Of this place, was
published, and we supposed all were salts
fed and that the Union Celebration would
take place as per programme. with kindly
feelings; but it seems that this is not to be
the case, as on Sunday last vote was taken
by the Sunday School at the II. E. Church.
as to whether that school would unite in
celebration with the Fire Companies, and
the vote resulted adversely to the union
celebration, and the only reason for this
course, that we can learn, is that there is
to be Fireman's ball in the evening of
the same day. While we have no particu-
lar friendship for public balls as conducted
in these days, we are unable to see that
Sabbath Schools are likely to compromise
anv principle of the schools or their OBJ
jects by meeting with our firemen at the
Fair Ground, and uniting with them in eel
ebrating our national birthday; and we
know the action of the School on Sunday
and Sunday evening last is sincerely re-
gretted and dissented from by men and
women in this town, whose moral stand
ing will suffer nothing in comparison with
that of the most inVeterate opponent of the
union celebration.
