Be Honorable.

Boys and young men sometimes start
out into life with the idea that ones
success depends on sharpness and chi
canery. They imagine if man is able
always to get the best of bargain"
no matter by what deceit and meanness
he carries his point, that his prosperity
is assured. This is a great mistake.
Enduring prosperity cannot be founded
on cunning and dishonesty. The
tricky and deceitful man is sure to fall
q victim, sooner or later, to the influ-
ences which are forever working against
him. His house is built upon thesand,
and its foundation will be certain to
give way. Young people cannot give
these truths too much weight. The
future of that young man is safe who
eschews every shape Of double dealing,
and lays the foundation Of his career in
the enduring principles Of everlasting
truth.

next to the fire, which by this time had
reached the Merchants Exchange, now
the Custom House. A number of the
men of that engine went into the build
ing to tend the s'pipe,' as it was called.
While they were so engaged, the walls
gave evidence of tottering, and their fore
man cried out to them:
"Back, boys, back out She is COM
ing down; Sack out!"
Seeing their danger, they all obeyed-
at lest, it was supposed that they all
dld-but one of them, as be was hurry
ing from the building, dropped his leath-
er fire-cap. z0~
He turned to pick it up. The walls
fell, and he was never seen again alive.
Four days afterward his brother, saun-
tering leisurely into "Thirty -four's'' en-
gine-house, said, casually, referring to
him:
"Any of you fellows seen Bill lately2"
''No, amt he home?" asked some one.
"Ain't been home since the big fire.
was the brothers reply. "Thought he
must be laying round the engine house."
Upon this a closer inquiry was ipsti-
tuted, and it was discovered that the un-
fortunate fireman had never been seen af-
ter the Merchants Exchange fell. A
search was made, and his body, without
scar or wound upon it, was found be-
tween two granite pillars in the rnins of
the building. He had been suHocated.

or rains, which caused floods in the Midland
counties. Elsewhere fair area of land has
been planted in wheat and beans. Vegetation
is still backward. Variable reports continue
relative to the condition Of autumn sown
wheat Farm work is generally behind hand.
Cattle have thriven fairly, but the stock Of
roots is rapidly diminishing, particularly tur-
nips and sheep farmers are anxious. Reports
Of the condition OF winter wheat in Scotland
are satisfactory. Potatoes have been steadily
rising owing to the demand for seed for Ire
land. English wheat in Mark Lane and the
provinces has been marketed in small quanti-
ties and unsatisfactory condition. Growers
were unwilling to accept thelower rates which
were offered and business consequently was
very dull. Sales were only practicable at de-
cline of pence to shilling per quarter. The
decline, however, principally affected badly
conditioned parcels. The imports of foreign
wheat into London have been moderate. The
demand has been chiefly of retail character,
as town millers seem determined to hold of
until they see some better ground for existence
of present quotations in America than specu-
lative enterprise. c; assumption, however, goes
on though speculation is absent; and business
though quiet, is steady. Prices have been
maintained except for Russian, for which the
sellers are obliged to accept a little less
money, though all the depression was re-
covered to-day, MONDAY Maize is still scarce
on spot aud prices improved both in London
and Liverpool! Barley and oats quiet, but
for the latter an occasional advance of three
pence per quarter was obtainable. Arri-
walls at port of call are moderate. There has
been steady demand for wheat, chiefly for
the united kingdom, at an advance of shil-
ling to shilling and six pence per quarter.
Only one cargo Of maize arrived, which
brought 27s Sd, being an advance Of nine cents
per quarter. Business in wheat for shipment
was limited, owing to the Indifference of buy
ers, and the advance demanded by sellers.
Maize is in active demand, chiefly for Febru-
ary and March shipments at OBS to 25s Cd.
Sales of English wheat last week, "a $50 quar-
ters, against $3.50 quarters at 37s I'd per
| the same week last year. Imports into the
united kingdom the week ending Feb. 14th,
were 1,112 958 cwts. of wheat and 1858 cwts.

Similarity of Names Of Generals.

The similarity between the late Gen.
JEFF @. Davis and that of the Confede-
rate ex-President recalls the fact that
there was in the two armies another
similarity of names not quite so we'll
known, but fully as striking that of
Gen. George B. McC Clellan, of the Union
army, and Gen. George B. Mcclellan, of
the Confederates. The st-named gen
tleman halls from OkGbbeha county,
Miss, and was member the Yale Col
lege class of 1858. A little confusion
was also produced IN the Union
army during the war by the similarity
of the two Shermans- T. and T.
especially during the siege of Cor
inth, when both commanded divisions.
By the way, speaking Of Sherman re-
minds us of joke that has gone the
rounds of the press. A gentleman, in
company with United States Senator,
called on the General of the army, and,
upon being introduced, remarked: 3Ah,
Gen. Sherman; you served in the army,
presume PIT COLUMBIA Dispatch.

The reckless fashion in which New
