STEPHEN ALIENS POCKET PIEcE.-In the
pocketbook of Hon. Stephen Allen, who was
drowned on board the Henry Clay, was found
a printed slip apparently cut from a news
paper, of which the following is copy. 1t is
worthy to be put in every newspaper and en-
graved on every young mans heart:
Make few promises. Always speak the
truth. Never speak ill of any one. Keep
good company or none. Live up to your en-
gagements. Drink no kind of intoxicating
liquors. Good character is above all things
else. Keep your own secrets, if you have any.
Never borrow if you can possibly help it. Do
not marry until you are able to support wife.
Keep yourself innocent if you would be hap
py. When you speak to person, look in the
face. Make no haste to be rich, if you would
prosper. Ever live misfortune excepted)
within your income. Save when you are
young, to spend when you are old. Avoid
temptation, through fear you may not with
stand it. Never run into debt, unless you see
a way to get out again. Small and steady
gains give competency with tranquil mind.
Good company and good conversation are the
sinews of virtue.
Your character cannot be essentially injur-
ed except by your own acts If any one
speaks evil of you, let your life be so that no
one will believe him. When you retire to bed
think over what you have been doing during
the day. Never be idle; if your hands can
not be employed usefully, attend to the cult
vation Of your mind. Read over the above
maxims carefully and thoughfully at least
once week.

actly but she did not like him cordially, yet
She felt rather pleased, than otherwise, to
think that he was going away the next morn
ing. ..-.
What Colonel Dacre felt, is not precisely
knowD but certain it is, that he was unusu'
ally cheerful at breakfast the following day,
after his cousin had taken his departure, and
that he remarked in tone of much satisfac'
ton
"Well Mary, here we are alone again, you
and I. Idon't think we shall be interrupted in
our solitude now for some time to come"
And Mary smiled back at him as though
she, too, were we'll pleased.

and absurd jokes circulated around the board,
and more than one of their number, yielding
to the influence of the potations, so COM
pletely lost their balance, as to sink into slum-
Der either on or under the table, from which
they were finally aroused by the combined
exertions of their more sober companions, and
dragged away home. When the bill was
presented to Maurice, he found that it would
just swallow up his lately acquired gains.
He thought himself lucky, however, to have
come out even, and with head aching from
the noise and excitement, but fortunately
clear, he betook himself home and let himself
in with his latch-key, just as the clock was
striking two.

part of the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore Railroad, and the
exemption amounts to very little in
that Gaze. The present decision OF
the Court Of Appeals limits the effect
of the exemption declared in 9th Gill
to the actual property of the road
contained in the railroad line to the
Ohio river, for the construction Of
which the charter was granted, and
property owned by the Company
outside of this definition is declared
liable to taxation-State, county and
municipal. It is understood that the
effect of the decision will be to make
taxable the elevators, wharves,
hotels, stocks and bonds owned by
the Company, and, in fact, all the
personal property held by it. AL
though taken at their nominal values
these properties aggregate some fifty
millions, yet at fair appraiSement
for the purposes of taxation it is not
believed that the amount would ex-
coed twelve or fifteen millions. The
suit on which the decisions was made
was brought under the act of 1872
taxing the gross receipts of railroad
c0mpanies.

Much complaint is heard--and has
been heard for years from our peo-
ple, because they have to pay the
same price for bad as well as good
butter. This is not fair. The line of
distinction ought to he as strong ~
marked by the price as by the smell.
Good butter makers ought to have
the highest market price for good
butter, and inferior butter makers
should be paid lower prices. Butter
is graded in the cities and why not
here? Afraid of making the "bad''
butter makers mad, eh 3? Why, that's
A poor excuse. Let them get angry
If they WILT won't last long, and
they will soon learn to emulate the
example Of good butter makers, and
bring none but choice rolls to mar
ket. Thus the condition of affairs
would be fair and just all around
and the market would not be cursed
longer with a stock of "ornary" but
ter which now brings as big price

riage, in the Public School house of
this place, on Tuesday night. We
regret his audience was not larger.
which my in a measure be attribu-

lecture is full of true philosophy on
the subject of Marriage, and abounds
in humorous and amusing anecdotes
illustrating his points. 1t was in
structive, entertaining, and contain
ed much practical thought for diges-

think more upO the subject OF ma

The new cotton mill at Atlanta,
Ga, is now in operation. Steam Was
turned on last Monday, ten thousand
spindleS were set in motion, and the
work of carding. spinning and cloth
making was begun. The supArin-
tendent is George B. Hurts, il gral-
uate of Harvard and Massachusetts
Yankee. Although he is in his
twenty eight year, he has been in
charge of large cotton mills for eight
years, and therefore speaks from ex
perience when he predicts not only
the success of this factory, but the
rapid development of manufacturing
enterprises in the South. When the
mills is in full operation As may as
six hundred factory hands will be
employed. A Paine to planter, who
supplied the first ten bales of cotton
used in the factory, instead of receiv-
ing cash in payment pr ferred to
take stock in the company, and
agreed to send more cotton under the
same conditions. The opening Of
this mill, and the anxiety of this
planter to become financially inter
ested in it, are good signs.

The long struggle for independence
in Cuba is nearly over, and at latest
adrices Il complete surrender was
about to be made 70 the Spanish au-
thoritieS. The conditions as publish.
ed are so favorable to the insurgents
that there is no longer a stimulus to
desperate resistance. There usually
comes II time when wise cIenency
dncs more to sweep away rebellion
than amy rigor or crushing superior
lty OF force could accomplish, 1t
often meltS away in Kindness like
snow in the sunshine. SO long as
the Cuban rebels had nothing to hope
for but the garrote or the prison or
the military execution, they would
resist to the utmost extremity; but
when full amnesty for political Of
lenses is tfered and liberty for all
those who are now in prison, and Il
general pardon even for Spanish de-
serters, it is probable that the terms
will be gladly accepted. The island
of Cuba is to receive the same pOliti
G | organization that Porto Rice en-
joys. So the fighting has not all been
in vain.
