It is related of Girard, that when a young /NAtvtMliotrin/? Kaiirslif nn/1 nahl C... ? U mt^UKUi, unvui^ aswiagsau onu ivi it bag of coffee, proceeded to wheel it home himself, the shrewd old merchant immediately offered to trust his new customer to as many more bags as the latter might .desire. The trait of character revealed by the young man in being his own porter, had given the millionaire confidence in him at once. His reputation was made with Girard. Ho became a favored dealer with tUe enterprising merchant, throve rapidly, and in the end amassed a fortune. No mere capital will do so much for young men as character. Nor will always even capital and connexion combined. In our own oxpcricnoe, we havo known many beginners who have utterly failed, though backed by ample means, and assisted by the influence of a large circle of friends. In some casesjndeed, considerable experience, as well as industry and perseverance, have been ftded to those advantages, yet without securing success. Wo have known such persons, tor a failure in their first pursuit, no better result, although still assistod by capital, by friends, and even by their own activity. The secret was that they had missed, somehow, making a character for themselves. On tne other hand, it is a common occurrence to see young men begin without a cent, yet rabidly rise to fortune. They achieve this triumph by establishing a reputation for being competent business men. Few are so fortunate as to do this by a single characteristic act, liko tho purchaser who wonGirard's good will by wheeling home the bag; for generally neither veteran merchants are as shrewd as the famous millionaire, nor voiing dealer* as energetic as this customer. But i A consistent life of sagacity, economy and in- j <1 us try, invariably establishes the nght kind ( of reputation in the end. Confidence grows up, in infiuential quarters, towards the young i beginner. Old merchants shake their heads ' *l>p"?*ing!y, Kr,d say, "he is of the right i Muff and will get along." Credit comes, as < it were unsought. Connexion follows. The < reputation of Hie new aspirant widens and \ deepen# ; his transactions begin to be quoted ] 41a authority; trade flows on him from every ( quarter; and in a few yaaro he setires with < ? competence, or remains to become a millionaire. All this is the result of establishing M the outset, a character of the right sort. , We may say to every young man. about 1 to start in life, make a character for yourself , jtsioonaa jpsftible.

Couuexious may be broken up, by death or failure, or change of interests. But characters remains through all. It belongs to tho individuals, and is above the changes of fate. Thousands, who have lost all else have recovered themselves, by having a character to start a new with ; but no man without a business character, lias ever risen from the ruin caused by tho loss of capital, or llie destruction of connexion.

It betokens n heart whoso generous impules hare either been entirely eradicated, or crushed down by pride and selfishness, and gives us no flattering estimate of the character that can be swayed by such base influences. \ onder stands a poor cripple with a face so full of untold agony, that you cannot gaxe upon it moved. There are deep lines of care around the tremulous lipe; the cheek is pale and sunkon; the large hollow eyes are eloquent with mournful meaning, and the dfirk brow seem knit with an expression of perpetual pain. Two years ago she was "tho fairest of Beauty's race," and life's brightest hopes were before her. Her step was light and elastic, and her form had all the graceful symmetry of yputh and health. But disease fastened its fangs upon her, and beneath the scorching breath of fever her bloom and loveliness faded. Long she appeared hovering on the verge of the grave, but at length a change came, and she slowly recovered Once more she rose and went forth in the haunts which her girlhood had loved, but her old friends scarcely recognised her in the feeble, wasted invalid. Now she looks timidly around her almost despairing, for she knows not how she shall thread her way through the crowd, hurrying to and fro on every hand. She has grown morbidly sensitive during holiness, and her spirit shrinks from the cold, c&reless glances of the throng. Tears gather on her eye-lashes, and her whole frame quivers like an aspen leaf. How can that beautiful vounc Indv in h<?r rich attire sweep so scornfully by the invalid, and laugh derisively at the wretched creature, as she moves onward ? How can she saunter toward her home with no remorseful thought of tho miserable sufferer, whose face still glows with the flush which that sneer aroused, and whose aching heart yet thrills with tho pain so carelessly inflicted ? IIow can she lie down upon her sumptuous couch to-night without a prayer for pardon I Ah 1 these arc questions which we cannot answer. At the comer of the street there is a little frnit-stand, with half a dozen apples and *s many pears ; two or three fine clusters of grapes, and a few walnuts and almonds. An >ld man sits beside it from early drawn till eventide, anxiously watching the passers-by, and murmuring broken words of thanks when any one drops a coin into his bony hand. His face is bronzed by exposure to the sun and wind, and his thin locks are bleached with care and sorrow. But in the prime of his manhood ho was a gallant soldier, and fought bravely for his native land. It was while boldly defending a fortress from the attacks of tho foe, that Iris arm was shot away, and he v/jv& disabled for active service. Change after change came; iickness, poverty, woe; and now an exile, ho lie earns the paltry sum which supports him and his feeble wife at that scanty fruit stall. Vet he often hears the mocking laugh, the uruiging taunt, or the careless jest of those who jeer at the unfortunate. These arc not unusual occurrences. Alas, no! they arobecoming too frequent, and zannot pass over them in silence. It is enough to endure poverty and hardship; it is enough to toil and struggle without having the heavy burden increased by scorn and contempt. To those who thus sport with misfortune, we would say, do you ever ask yourselves who niado you to differ?" I>o you realize that you may be deprived of the blessings which nave been lavished upon you ! It would be well if you would think of these 1 things, and prepare for them. Above all, earn to feel compassion and sympathy for the sufferings of your fellow-beings, and nev- 1 sr again laugh at the unfortunate. Immortality oy Maw.?? Why is it that the rainbow nntttdoud come ovor us with a oeauty that is not of earth, and then pass a* way and leavo us to muse on their faded ovelincss ? AThy is it that the stars, whicff'' tiold thoir^festival around their midnight thrones, are set above the grasp of our limited faculties, forever mocking unapproachable rlory ? And why is it that bright forms of liuiuan beauty are presented to our view and taken from us, leaving tho thousand streams affection to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our heart! We arc born for a higher leaUny than that of earth.

Some do so by swallowing an immoderato quantity of ices, and. in the cud, are warmer than if tliey refraincd from attempting to turn themselves into a refrigerator. If one could keep a lump of ice nicely wrapped in flannel within one's own private client all the time during the heat of these hot days, why one might stand a chance of keeping cool; but ice will melt,'as well as "love grow cool," and when the ice is melted, the reaction takes place and the heat is greater than before. Some keep cool by wearing wo6len dresses and thick cloaks, on the principle of what keeps cold out, will ke?'p heat out also.? Others, on another plan from pithor .trp?a eooj^ and instead of drinking lee water, drink "fire water" knowing that two fire* never meet. This system is pursued by somo with impunity; whether it serves to keep cool or not, is doubtful. The Spaniards follow this method, and when the thenmometer is raging at the baking point?which it generally does from late in the spring till early in the fall?they eat most of garlic, and peper, and other spices. They are uot a remarkably cool nation, however, and just now many of them are in danger of being peppered from without as well as within. Our advice to keep cool is?keep in the shade through the heat of the day, avoiding all violent exercise; above all, do not attempt writing?none but editors can stand that most severo labor of a hot day ; ami editors being paid to suffer, can afford to suffer.? Drink plentifully of moderately cool water, to keep the pores open, and think pleasant thoughts; avoid quarreling with your wife, nuu icnu uiu u?w?pnj)cr.?iV. jr.

"Yesterday, ma, when I sat in the back parlor, and you and aunt were in the front one, I'm sure you did say so, dear mother, and I pity you very much; for you told aunt there was a time before I was born when father drank too much, and then, you know, you spoko of the pledge,' and said how glad VOU wer? that tlin t?mnai-an/w> 1 ? vU.^/vii?uw; iuui ail rwivt'U Lira." "My Dear, I was talking of somebody else, I think. We were speaking of uncle Jetkro and family." "But they have no Agnes, mother, and you know you told about father's failure in business. Uncle Jethro never failed. And you said, too, when you moved in this house, your money paid for everything, but the world did not know it, and?" "You have told quite enough, my child. What do you stay listening in the back parlor for, whon I sent you up stAirs to study ? It has come to a pitiful pass, if your aunt and I must have all of our privacy retailed in this way. I suppose you have told? !" "No, mother, 1 haven't, because I thought it would hurt his feelings. I love my father, And I never told him anything to make him unhappy." "Agnes sat looking in the fire, and asked : "Mother, if people really love other, do they ever talk against them ? Didn't you tell ino never to speak of any home difficulty : and :/ p 1--?-i - ? ii EAiwnra nna i say wrong words you tell mo nover to repeat them, and I never do." "Agnes," sad the rebuked mother, listeners are despicable characters. Don't you never let me know of you doing the like again; you don't hear right, and you moke agreat deal of mischief in this way. A man strike me with a swo.u and inflicts a wound. Suppose, instead of binding up tho wound, I am showing it to everybody ; and after it lias been bound up, 1 am taking off the bandage continually, and examining the depth of the wound and making it to fester till my limb becomes groatlv inflamed and ray general health is materially affected, is there a person in the world who could not call me a Tool I Now such a fool is he who by dwelling upon little injuries, insults or provocations causes them to agitate and in* flame his mind.

Enough, in all conscience, without our writing a very long essay on the subject nt this time. One man hit* her a sly dab, by saying he need not i defend licr, as the can sjKak for herself, j l nat, we suppose, means, in plain English, "a woman can talk," and who doubts it f In fact, who would have it otherwise ??Everybody, especially every man worthy of the name, delights to hear a woman talk. There is a chann in her voice. Another old bachelor of courso, has let off his vinegar by setting the following afloat an the sea of newspapers : "A woman down east has gone three j whole days without a speaking a word to anybody. IIow she must have suffered !" Who knows she suffered ? Was you there to see. Tf you wore, she bad a very good reason for holding her tongue. She had learned that it was useless to "cast pearls hefore swine." But you must have suffered twice as much as sho did. It is wretchedness indeed to be in the presence of a lady, and not hear her talk. What punishment can he greater to a man, than to have his wife keep silence for "three whole days f" And ?et some men richly deserve this punishment. his woman whom the crabbed old bachelor has undertaken to slander, was a woman of sense. Iler husband had slighted her pleasing and useful conversation, by leaving her company for that of others. She saw lie could not appreciate her conversation, ami shp resolved not to trouble him with it. "IIow h? must have suffered." Ho would have given more than his old shoos to have heard i her voice Again, even in a Caudlo locturc. That would have been better tban nothing. O, bow slowly those "three whole days," mjjst have rolled to him. And all the time, slie was as happy as a queen, in giving him a lesson that he would not soon forget. lie lilted to hear her talk, after that, wo will warrant .. What a blessing it is to the men that wo men can talk. We love to hear them. And if a half a dozen are all talking and laughing at once, how rich it is. Wo l>eg them I not to stop, for if they do, the suffering is not theirs, hut ours. Old bachelors and bad husbands may sometimes wish her to keep silence, because if she does, she will say somo cutting tilings that they deserve. But to others her talk is a source of inexpressible pleasure. Spirit of Prater.?It is distressing to hear long, desultory and cold prayers. Thoy evinci; that the sacrifice is from a dead heart. and tliat the lips are not touched with a live coal from the altar of God. When paryers are short, specific and warm, we have evidence that a revival has begun. It has begun where it should be, in the hearts of Christains. Each-worshipper coiues to the meeting with an errand to the throne of grace; I and he pleads it earnestly, being full of faith and the Holy Ghost. If he pray aloud, he supplicates for the thing he came for, and he entreats for it with filial, fcrvont and importunate desire, and then ho stops. O Christian ! do Vou feel for dying sinners? Do you feel for the cause of Christ? They pray; wrestle in prayer; besiege the throno of grace; I take no denial ; say with Jacob, "I will not let thee go, except thou bless me." AVhat an cxamplo wo have in Moses, in Abraham, in Ilaunah, in Elijah, in all the Old Testament saints; and especially in Jesus ! Early Death.?A maid went into the garden, oarly ono morning, to gather a wreath of beautiful roses. They were yet in the bud, some quite closed, othors half unfolded ; fragrant cuj? of tho morning dew. "1, will not pluck you now," said tho maid.?

But if you wish him to become a strong-minded, truth-loving, whole soujed man, treat him as a man that is to bo?as an equal.

Lot him find by experiment that there is something for him to gain by light, or lose by wrong, and an inducement to virtuous actions will bo given him. Teach him to think correctly for himself, judge for himself, while young and under your care and he will feel his own responsibility, and will not be so easily enticed and deceived when thrown ujion his own resources. But above all, early teach him to look upon God as his Father, nud Heaven as liis home, and the great object of his lifo hero to do good. Early teach him by precept and examplo to love the Lord and keep his commandments, and it shall be well with thee and thy house to future generations. | ?? Things we Decidedly Object to.

How an Indian can Die. A touching instance of this characteristic trait occurred at the late engagement l?etween a small war party of the Chippewa* and a greatly superior party of Sioux, near Cedar Island Lake. The Chippewas, who were en route for a scalping foray upon tho Sioux villages on tho Minnesota, hero fell into nil ambuscade, and the first notice of danger that saluted their ears was a discharge of fire arms from a thicket. Four of their number fell dead in their tracks. Another, named tho War Cloud, a leading bravo, had a leg broken hv a bullet. His comrades were loth to leave liini, and whilo his assailants were reloading their guns, attempted to carry him along with them to where they could get the shelter of a thicket, a short distance in the rear. Dut lie commanded them to leavo him, tolling them that he would show his enemies how a Chippewa could die. At his request they sentod him on a log, with his back leaning against a tree. He then commenced painting his face and singing his death song. As his enemies approached him he only sang the louder and livelier strain, and when several had gathered around him, nourishing their scalping knives, and screeching forth their demoniacal yells of exultation, not a look or a gesture manifested that ho was even nwaro of their presence. At length they seized him and tore the scalp from his head. Still seated with his hack against a largo tree, they commenced shootj ing their arrows into the trunk around his head, grazing hia <;?us, u?ck, Ac., until tlicy literally pinned him fast, without having once touched a vital part. Yet our hero remained the same imperturbable stoic, continuing to chant his defiant strain, and although 0110 of the number flourished his reeking soalp liefore bis eyes, still not a singlo expression of bis countenance could he observed to change.
