my door. and asked me if | was the
young man who had lately opened a
printing house. Being answered in
the Affirmative, he said he was sorry
for me, because it was an expensive
undertaking, and the expense would be
lost; for Philadelphia was sinking

or near being so; oil appearance to the
contrary. such as new buildings and
the rise Of rents. being, TO his certain
knowledge. fallacious for they were
in fact, among the things that would
soon ruin US. And he gave me such q
detail Of misfortuncs now existing, or
that were soon to exist. that he left me
half melancholy. Had l known him
before engaged in this business. prob.
ably never should have done it. This
man continued TO live in this decaying
place, and to declaim in the same
strain, refusing for many years to buy
house there. because oil was going 10
destruction; and Of last l had the
pleasure Of seeing him pay five times
us much for one as he might bought it
for when he first began his croakipg.-

fleet has wintsred at Honolulu, dis
charging cargo rnd refi,ting; bu, they
have recently made their rendezvous in
San Francisco Bay. The Pacific whal =

vessels, now numbers only forty. SO that
this change is by no means SO great an
event IS it would have bcen twenty

it was not made sooner. for the barbor

facilities for communication with the

American Wheat in Spain.

According to. a dispatch received at the Department of State from the American Consul at Barcelona, the first cargo of American wheat ever received in that city arrived about the middle of Novem- Der. Great interest was excited in Bar celona thereby. Samples were freely and interestedly handled on the Ex- change on the day of arrival, and it was immediately recognized as equal to Black Sea and Hungarian wheat. The cargo consisted of 72,0OO bushels, and sold at 19 francs. per fifty-fives kilo- grammes, or about $s3. 70 per 12O pounds. This first cargo was brought to Barce- Iona in an English steamer. The freight upon the same amounted to SIS, ,O0O, and the same steamer was again chartered to bring another cargo of wheat from New York. The consul knew of ore firm which had engaged three English steam CTS to bring three cargoes of American wheat to Barcelona, and it was thought that about twenty five cargoes would ar. rive during the season, all in English steamers. The consul reiterates former opinions upon the great necessity of direct American steam communication with Spain and other countries border ing on the Mediterranean.

Riding up from Bangor.

Riding up from Bangor, on an Eastern" train, from six weeks shoot ing in the woods of Maine; quite exten- sive whiskers, beard, moustache as well, sat "student fellow," tall and fine and swell. Empty seat behind him, no one at his side; to 8 pleasant station now the train doth glide. Enter aged couple, take the hinder seat enter gentle maiden, beautiful, petite. Blushingly she falters, Is this seat engaged?" (see the aged couple properly enraged). Student, quite ecstatic, sees her tickets through" thinks of the long tunnel thinks what he might do. So they sit and chatter, while the cinders fly, till that " student fellow gets one in his eye; and the gentle maiden quickly turns about-"M May I, if you please, sir, try to get it out ?"

The Money Question.

The woman whose husband gives her 8 weekly allowance for household ex- penses, to be expended as she thinks proper, is generally happy and con- tented, and takes pride in Ter work. Wives, as @ rule, dislike to ask their husbands for money they shrink from asking for the wherewithal to purchase boots, clothing, and the common neces- sities of life it is neither agreeable nor pleasant to them, and they should not be forced to do it. If they do their ap- pointed work, the money to carry it on should be freely offered, monthly or weekly, as may be desired. Some hus- bands have seen how much their moth CTS suffered for the want of money even when their fathers were rich, and they profit by the fact, and give to their wives generous supply, never forcing them to become applicants for it, and by so doing they greatly increase their do- mestic happiness. Place confidence in a woman's ability to act, and she will fully repay it.; doubt her executive poWers-refuse her esponslblllty you may rue it. Husbands do not pay enough attention to this subject of money. Many wives of the middle class have been accustomed to earn their own support, to purchase their owe wardrobes before they were mar ried. But after marriage all is changed :; they must ask for what they require father than have it pad to them quar- terly. At first their wants are few, or all supplied; but one or two years alters their outlook, and it becomes very dreary. Can the husband understand this ? l trow not. He will tell you, " My wife has all she asks for" never dreaming how many days it requires to summon her courage to ask for neces- sities. This state of affairs should be changed,

Keep Your Secrets.

The whole world is full of people craving for confdence-people to whom a secret is like gold in a child's pocket, burning to be issued. Those who are high in rank and blessed with every ad- vantage, are often tormented for want of Ga true friend ; meaning thereby some one to whom they can confide secrets. And on those who will simply take them and keep them, they are willing to bestow friendship, to those who would be in such confidence it is enough that they follow the advice already given of never being directly or indirectly the means of disseminating gossip of any kind.
 In connection witt1 this subject the reader may properly be advised against curiosity. There are people who cannot see 8 letter without craving to know to whom it is addressed, or cannot find any thing written lying on a table without involuntarily picking it up. The Paul Pry is the meanest character of society, and he who would feel superior in strength and in integrity, should strive vigorously to have nothing in common with such type of baseness. Bear con- tinually in mind the fact that in the art of conversation the secret lies not so much in knowing what to say as to what avoid saying.-Norristow'a Herald.

English Soldiers in India.

The history of the European portion of the Indian Army will always be read with pleasure by the military student, and with pride by all who bear the name of Englishmen. From first to last from the commencement of our conquests in India to the present time-our coun- trymen soldering in Hindostan have never failed to do their duty. The Euro pean forces now in India are about 60,- OOO strong of whom close upon 1000 belong to the artillery the rest being divided into 10 cavalry regiments, and about 50 infantry battalions. Before India and it's army were transferred to the Grown, each Presidency had three European corps, which had been raised and incorporated exclusively for service in the East. These were commonly called the Company's European regl- ments and finer battalions, or officers and men who had done better service whenever they were called upon, were certainly not to be found in any quarter of the globe. For the last IS or 20 years-ever since the reign of John Company came to an end-these corps have been amalgamated with the British infantry of the line, and are now num- bered as the One Hundred and First to the One Hundred and Ninth Regl- ment, inclusively. They still bear up- on their colors the honors they gained in former years, the names of every victory and every triumph of the British arms in India from the battle of Plassey to the taking of Lucknow and Delhi. Perhaps never was there greater mis- take committed by the British authori- ties than the abolition of these corps. In many respects they were very unlike the rest of our army. A great number of the men were of a better class than the ordinary British recruit. They wished to become soldiers, but did not care for the routine of home garrison life or the never-ending changes of colo nial duty. They were thoroughly up to Indian ways; we'll acclimatized to the country; looked on the East as their home; had, most of them, their wives and families with them; were ever ready to take the field, and were always first at any point of danger. They were done away with when India was made over to the Grown, only, I suppose, because oi that uniformity on the brain which seemed at the time to have afflicted all our military authorities. It is curious fact, that the French Zouaves were cop jed from the old Company's Eu ropear regiments; the idea being that French men enlisted specially to servo in Africa and au faut in the ways of the country were infinitely more likely to do theil work thoroughly than troops fresh from France. In India we have proved thu truth of this; and the French profited by our experience. We threw it away -Macnaillaaa's MGyaSj'ae.

Sober Second Thoughts.

-Abad man is one who grasps straw berry and gets nettle instead.
 Individuality is everywhere to be spared and ndrespected as the root of every thing good.
 Let man overcome anger by love, evil by good, the greedy by iberality, the liar by truth.
 The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt till they are too strong to be broken.
 Happiness can be built on virtue alone, and must of necessity have truth for it's foundation.
 Domestic rule is founded upon truth and love. If it has not both of these, it is nothing better than despotism.
 -Contentmenta abides with truth. You will generally suffer for wishing to ap- pear other than what you are, whether it be richer, or greater, or more learned. The mass soon becomes an instrument of torture. '
 Oh if men would use as much dili- gence in roofing out vices and planting virtues, as they do in proposing ques- tions, there would not be so great evils committed nor scandals among the peo- pie, nor so much relaxation in monas- tries.
 Castle building gives us habit of admiring fine things without practising them, it intoxicates us with conceit and sentimentality, for did ever any one build castle in the air, which did not in some way rebound to his own honor orpraise?
 Every man likes fattery, It is pleas ant to be told that we are great, even if we know him to be fool who tells us. The devil runs an immense manu- factory of excuses. They are fall sizes and shapes, suited to every possible occasion, and such is the demand for them that it is impossible to over- stock the market.
 Strange ideas of honesty prevail. It is surely wrong for fruiterer to put all the big peaches on the top of the basket, but it is surely right to build the front of the house of fine free stone and the back of common brick. A certain amount of sham is necessary to human happi' ness.
 A man will sit still in the theatre for three hours and think the play the short est he ever saw, and yet sit as uneasy in his pew on Sunday as though he were being used for a pincushion and think the twenty minute sermon the longest he ever heard.

Foil and be Happy.

The Christian at Work thinks Ruskin never said truer thing than this: eff you want knowledge, you must toll for it; if food, you must toll for it if pleas ure, you must toll for it." Foil is the law. Pleasure comes through toll, and not by self-indulgence and indolence. When one gets to love work his life is happy one. Said poor man in Brook lyn the other day, with a family of eleven to provide for eff I were worth a million dollars, should not wish to do much different than I do now every day, working hour after hour. I love it 8 thousand times better than to rest" He has for nearly half century been sur rounded by workers, and has caught the spirit of industry. He loves his work better than food or sleep. He is happy who has conquered laziness, once and forever,

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW

The good Old Year hath run his race, And the latest hour drawsnear; The cold dew shines on his hoary face, And he hobbies along with listless pace, To his lonely and snow-coyered resting-place In the northern hemisphere. Sec how his stiff joints faint and shrink As the cold breeze whistles by; He hath bitter cup to drink AS he watches the sand in his hour-glass sink, Standing alone on tho icy brink
 Of the gulf of eternity. His scanty robe is wrapped more tight As the dim sun dwindles down; And no stars arise to cheer the night Of him whose temple they once made bright, When crimson roses and lilies white Half hid his golden crown. He reels-he slips-no power at hand To check him from tumbing o'er; The hour-glass clicks with its latest sand, And each movement falls like the stroke of Q
 brand On ono already too weak to stand He falls-he is seen no more. And, lol in the east a star ascends, And burst of music comes young lord, followed by troops of friends, Down to the broad equator wends, While the star that travels above him bends Der sea of floating plumes.

A Tribute to Bayard Taylor.

In letter recently published in the New York Tribune, ex-Governor How ard, of Rhode Island, gives pleasant and deserved tribute to the character and abilities of our late minister to Ber- lin. A few brief extracts will be inter- esting to our readers
 1t was my privilege and pleasure to pass several days in the autumn in in- innate association with MT. Taylor. He had been seriously i'll, and had been exiled from work and home by the inn perative edict of his physician. A few weeks of repose in the mountains had restored him, as he thought, to perfect health, and he had returned in excellent spirits, and very happy at the prospect of renewal of labor. never knew him to appear to better advantage than he did while doing the honors of the table at quiet dinner party at which myself and family were present. He referred to the work before him as one might be expected to speak of an antici- pated pastime. do not know that he ever was afraid of labor. He certainly was not then. I think I never saw on any previous occasion the kindliness of his nature so abound as it did on the evening referred to. He made no harsh criticisms, utteted no intolerant com- ments. Having tarried sin Germany some time, I had full opportunity to know that MT. Taylor was held in un- usual esteem by the court. His famii- arity with the lessons of history, his long association with men of power and rank in all parts of the world, and his intui.ive good sense enabled him to form a correct judgment upon all questions of court etiquette and diplomatic rou. tine. Though entirely regardless of himself, he was fully conscious of the rights and dignity of his government as represented in his person, and firmly though decorously maintained the con. sideration to which he was entitled by virtue of his high office. It may be con, fdently asserted that the honor, pres tige, and interests of his country would have continued safe in his hands. A little incident, which I think may be mentioned with propriety, is of interest. When the peace of Europe seemed to be menaced, prior to the Berlin Congress message wAs received at the legation to the effect that the presence of oul minister at the Royal Palace was re quested. When MT. Taylor appeared the Emperor said, MT. Taylor, I have sent for you to express the hope that tho influence and good offices of your gov ernment may be felt wholly in the di rectign of preventing a war. have seen enough of battles and bloodshed I hope there will be no more fighting dur ing the brief time I remain upon earth.
