A LAUDABLE AMBIuoN.-I honor
tho man whose ambition is not to
win laurels in the state or the army,
not to be a jurist or q naturalist,
not to be poet or a commander,
but to be a master of living well,
and to administer the offices Of
master or servant, of husband, faith
er and friend. But it requires as
much breadth of power for this as
for those other functions, as much,
or more, and the reason for the fail
ure is the same. 1 think the vice
of our housekeeping is, that it does
not hold man sacred. The wee of
government, the vice of education,
the vice of religion is one with that
of private life.-Emers0n.

A gentleman says: Going to Cape
May the other day 1 saw a young
man leaning over the railing of the
upper deck, and with considerable
violence giving to the winds and
the sea the contents of his stom-
ache. Just at this juncture one of
the boat officials walking briskly
by, asked, in a patronizing manner,
"Sick, sir?"
"You don't suppose I'm doing
this for fun, do you?" said the poor
fellow, Indignantly, as soon as he
could recover his breath.

USES OF ADVERSELY.

By woe, the soul to daring action swells;
By woe, in plaintless patience it eXcels;
From patience, prudent, clear experience
springs,
And traces knowledge through the course

success,
Renown; whate'er men covet and earess.

WHAT FARMERS SHOULD Nor Do.
"A farmer should never break up
more land than he can thoroughly
cultivate; half-tilled land is always
growing poorer, while well-tilIed
land is constantly improving. A
thrifty and prudent farmer will not
devote his sole attention TO the i'm
provement of certain fields on his
farm, because the land is easy to
work, and let other portions of his
premises go uncultivated, and grow
nothing but brush, bogs, briars and
stones. A farmer should never
have more cattle, horses or other
live stock than he can keep in good
order. An animal in good order
at the beginning of winter is al
ready half wintered. Nor should
he let his cattle endure the chilling
storms of winter in an open yard or
field, while few shillings expen-
ded in providing comfortable sta
bles would amply repay him in saw
ing fodder and afford a greater
quantity of milk. A farmer should
never depend too much on his
neighbor for what he can by care
full management produce on his own
land. He should not make it a
common practice to either buy or
beg fruit while he can plant trees
and cultivate them on his own
ground, nor annoy his neighbor by
borrowing tools TO work with,
while he can make or buy them
"The borrower is a servant to the
lender" A farmer should never be
so immersed in political matters as
to neglect doing his various kinds
of work in due season, and to tidy
up matters and things for the win
ter; nor should he be so inattentive
to politics as to remain ignorant of
those great questions of national
and state policy which will always
agitate more or less a free people,

Manners are Of more Importance
than laws. In great measure the
laws depend on them. The law
touches us but here and there, and
now and then. Manners are what
vex and soothe, corrupt or purify,
exalt or debase, barbarize or refine
Us by a constant, steady, uniform,
insensible operation, like that Of
the air we breathe. They give their
whole color to our lives. Accord
ing to their quality they aid NOR
ais, they supply them, or they to-
tally destroy Ihem.-Burke.

The cold-blooded manner in which
our city contemporaries destroyed
the New State movement, indicates
o blood-thirsty heart instigated by
the devil. A correspondent gives
his views in to-day's Avalanche as
to the motives moving the origina-
tor of the movement. He thinks
that Judge Milton Brown is the au-
thor of the movement and that it
was solely for the purpose of adver-
tising Jackson at no expense Of
that healthy corporation. Judge
Brown usually does we'll whatever
he undertakes, and will no doubt
in the New State move
ment.-AUalaRche.

METHOD IN WoRK.-De instantly
whatever is to be done; take the
hours of reflection or recreation af-
ter business and never before it.
When a regiment is under march,
the rear is often thrown into confu-
sion because the front do not move
steadily and without interruption.
1t is the same thing with business.
If that which is first in hand is not
instantly, steadily and regularly
dispatched, other things accumulate
behind, till affairs begin to press all
at once, and no human brain can
stand the confusion; pray, mind
this, it is one of your weak points,
a habit of mind it is that Is very apt
to beset men of intellect and talent,
especially when their time is not
filed up regularly, but is left to
their own arrangement. But it is
like the ivy round the oak and ends
by limiting, if it does not destroy
the power of manly and necessary
exertion.-Sir Waller Scott.

FRANKNEss AND MEANNEss.- We
do love a frank, honest heart, where
the sunshine of a generous sympa-
thy finds a home; but we do abhor
and utterly discard a mean, cring-
ing, whispering wretch.
The former may be impulsive
and even severe, at times, but new
er undermines in secret; what he
does in open daylight. The latter
talks smoothly and smiles upon
you, and at the same time he is con-
triving how he may get the advan-
tage of you. One is generous,
warm-hearted, full of nobility; the
other smiles to deceive and lures to
destroy. One lives 10 assist and
bless you; the other would deceive
you out of living, and afterwards
curse you for your generosity.

Cure for Stammering,

DR.. Dio Lewis gives the following as a
positive cure for stammering. Those af-
flicted will do well to read:
"The cure is simply this The stammerer
is made to mark the time in his speech,
just as is ordinarily done in singing. lie
is at first to beat on every syllable. 1t is
best at the first lesson to read some COM
position, like one of David's Psalms, strik-
ing the fore-6nger on the knee at each
word; then read in a newspaper, beating
each syllable.
"You can beat time by striking the fin
ger on the knee, by hitting the thumb
against the fore-inger, or moving the large
toe in the boot"
"We doubt if the worst case of slut.
tering would continue long, provided the
sufferer would read an hour or two each
day with thorough practice of this simple
art, observing the same in his conversation
"As thousands have paid fifty and 9
hundred dollars for this secret, we take
great pleasure in imparting it to the pat
rons of this journal"

A Singular Divorce Case.

The N. Y, Herald says:-Pcricus Simon
made application in Supreme Court cham
bers last week-Judge Fancher presiding
to be appointed guardian Gd ,item of his
daughter Sarah Hcttinger, nee Simon, fol
the purpose of bringing divorce suit
against Jacob Hettinger. Sarah alleges
that she is only fourteen years of age, that
Jacob Hettinger brought her before cler-
gyman, telling her she must answer yes to
every question asked her, and that after
they had left the clergyman he told her she
had been married to him. Upon this She
ran home, and the marriage was never con
summated. Judge Fancher granted the
application.

Fatal Joke.

James Mclaughlin was instantly killed
on a boat in Chester river recently, under
circumstances thus related by the Chester
town Transcript.
Two of the crew had been ashore gun
ming in the afternoon and returned about
night, laying their guns on the trunk over
the cabin. The young man who was
killed was lying asleep in berth, and
when the cook announced supper one of
the crew mot yet of age)picked up one of
the guns, and noticing that there was no
cap on it, remarked to the captain, who
was standing near, "If this gun is not
loaded,se I'll wake that fellow up and fright
en- him." and drawing the ramrod ran it
down the barrel, pronouncing the gun not
loaded.
Taking seat on the rail Of the boat he
raised the hammer, put on cap and reach
ing forward with the gun at arms length,
ran the barrel through a small grated win
dow in the side Of the trunk to within a
few inches of the sleeper's face pulled the
trigger, and instead of frightening BIN by
the explosion of the cap, sent load of shot
through the side of the poor fellows face
and out at the back of his head, making
n ghastly wound and causing death without
struggle.

COnfesses a Murder.

William L. Langston, son Of an old lady,
who, with little girl named Mary Eastern,
living with her, was found murdered in her
bed recently near Paradise, Coles county,
Illinois, has confessed to killing both par
ties, and accuses his wife as an accessory.
l.angston is in Jail waiting trial, The only
motive he assigns for the crime is the insti-
CATION and persuasion of his wife, who
never had pleasant feelings towards the
old lady. In addition to this it is proba.
BILE that Langston and his wife were some
what over anxious to got possession of the
old lady's property. There is very strong
feeling against the murderer in the neigh.
borhood.

No Music in his Soul.

The st. John IN. b. Tribune says GA
capital specimen of the class of preachers
who conscientiousy abhor instrumental
music in churches was recently exhumed
in a country district of one of the river
counties, and invited to lecture in this city.
His engagement required him to remain
over Sunday, and one of our city clergy
invited him to occupy his pulpit at the
morning service. The invitation was
promptly accepted, and on Sunday morn
ing our rustic expounder of orthodoxy pre-
sented himself fully provided and charged
with gospel truth-the pure and simple,
unadulterated article. Complacently strok-
ing his chin, he meeSly followed the pastor
to seati in the pulpit. While looking
around to take stock of the audience and
the surroundings, his eye unfortunately
fell on cabinet organ, recently introduced
as an aid in conducting the musical portion
of the Sunday services. Quickly turning
to the pastor, he asked, care you going
to drum on that thing this morning ?"
"Oh, yes, we always use that" was the
reply. "Then cart preach for you," as
promptly replied our country friend. The
pastor reasoned, urged and argued, but all
in vain. The country pastor abhorred the
introduction of the DEVILS mechanism into
the church; he could not preach where they
were in use and he wouldn't. Well, would
he give out hymn? No! Would he
pray? No And pray he didn't. The
parson had to do his own preaching and
his own praying"
