The most southerly Of all the buildings

q stone gate near the Marouand Chapel The
house itself stands astrlde Of the crest Of the
hill upon which the town and college are

and q stately entrance covered by a pillared
portico. II IL bordered on three sides By
park OF large elms. The fourth side looks over
the slope OF tho hill and commands miles OF
the most fertile farming land Of New Jersey.
This house Is in history. It was built by the
old Potter family, and is yet spoken OF In the
town as the Potter mansion. It has traditions
OF men famous In carly American history.
There is an atmosphere about its ivied walls
and elm-shaded park that inspires the under

Disagreeable Habits.

Nearly all the diAagreeable habits
which people take up come at first from
mere accident or want Of thought. They
might easily be dropped, but they are
persisted in until they become second
nature. Stop and think before you al
low yourself to form them. There are
disagr ecablc habits of the body, like
scowling. wiuking, twisting the mouth.
biting the nails, continually picking at
something, twirling key, or funbliug
at chain, drumming with the fingers,
screwing or twisting chair or whatey-
or you lay your hands on. Don't do
any of these things Learn to sit qui-
city like gentleman, we were going TO
say, but we are afraid girls fall into
such tricks s)metimes. There are much
worse habits than these, to be sure, but
we are speaking only of these things
that are only annoying when they are
persisted in. There are habits of speech
also, such as beginning every speech
with 'you see" or ''you know" "now-
a, Il don't care, "tell ye what, tell
We now," indistinct utterance. sharp,
nasal tones-avoid them all. Stop and
think what you are going to say, aud
then let every word drop from your lips
just as perfect as now silver coin.--
Have a care about your way Of sitting
and standing and walking. Before you
know it you will fnd that your habits
have hardened into coat of mail that
you cannot get rid Of without terrible
effort.

When Minus rcigned in Nnevch,
And Babylon reveled meath the stars,
And Mcnes ruled DER Egypts plain,
And grim Sesostris waged his wars,
Who were the worlds own people then2
Why have they gone and left no signp
Alas those hordes of morta men
Were thou and |, and thine and mine.
Then lay the mother down to rest
Close by the babe her bosom fed,
And children played beside the Nile,
And maids Were wooed and women wed I;
And shone the lull Assyrian moon
In silvery silence on the earth,
As the red blood in myriad hearts
Leupt warm and quick with health and
mirth
Three thousand years and so with us,
Three thousand years and people will
Look up in revery at the stars
That twinkle over Baby lon still,
And ask "Who trod the emerald earth ?"
And wonder why we left no sign
While the hot blood IN glad young hearts
viii leap and dance like ruby wine.
Will the world thus forever roll
And generations come and go,
AS when King Menes sat enthroned
And old Sesostris scourged the foe ?
Who shall the worlds own people be
When we, too, die and leave no sign2
Alas those hordes of mortal men
Are thou and |, and thine and mine.

New YORK, January u.-R. G. Dun & ca. Is
weekly review of trade says: Not the least i'm
portant feature of the railroad presidents ar
rangement is the fact that bankers Of large in
fuence commit themselves, in case the compact
is signed to refuse their countenance or aid to
the negotiation of securities for new connecting
lines or extensions where either of the railroads
agreeing to the compact objects. The report of
the Interstate Commission shows that on l20-
600 miles Of road, for the year ending June 30
1855, the stock and bonds were of equal uar
value. but on 52l5 per cent Of the stock no divj-
dend was paid, ard on 20 per cent of the bonds
no interest, while the proportion paving less
than per cent was 63 per cent of the stock and
q per cent of the bonds
The decision Of Judge Barrett holding that
the Sugar Trust is illegal, is of very large i'm
portance. No change occurs as vet in prices of
sugars, and It may not be premature to suppose
that other forms of agreement, escaping the
legal objections found in this case, may not con-
tinueto control markets There are signs in
Europe that the Copper Trust is trying to cast
upon the public part of Its accumulating lead

The weekly output of anthracite and coke
iron January was l42 452 tons, against 1852
month ago, an6 II, ,SO7 year ago. For the past
year the production is estimated at 6.500OO0
gross tons. The enormous supply makes the
market dUller than usual for the season. In
the rail market no change is reported, The de-
mand for bar iron is somewhat improved and
l@ to LIS is quoted for the best refined The
coal trade is very dull, and the restriction of
output is now so far enforced that the record
for the last week of December was only "a
S32 tons.
In the wool trade the demand is not large but
prices are firmly held in the belief that stocks
are scarce. Cotton goods are in better demand
at steady or improving prices Sales in specu-
lative markets have been small during the mast
week, and the general tendency of prices for
commodities as whole is still downward.
Reports from interior towns show that fail.
ures continue numerous and the complaints of
ordinary collections frequent But there is
hardly any complaint of monetary scarcity
The Treasury holds about S. 100000 less cash
