Cashiers, clerks, tras g v tees, treasurers, eren directors, peen ?v. kl?, piifer, steal, get away with fond: of which the j are the custodian*, anc hom to ?ci ? trustworthy man is th? problem of tie day. Ia ?hts dilemma l>he wiseacres hare 'tg?i fcoea writbg to the papers advising ways aad means to keep men from ?fi steeJiog. One proposes that the pedi? gree of the candidate for a place o? samt fe? carefully studied, that it maj ' eertify the applicant aa coming from an h co est stock, that his lather was honest oed his grandfather was not a thief, and so oo op. This is well as for as it ^ gees. There is something in blood. Matthew Henry says that stn rans in tho Wood, bu* grace does not. A long Soo of honest men, io direct descent, is sonja assurance that the present candi data will preserve the traditions of the foot?y. We woold not count it as good for mock in ?fcvor of one whose own re ?; cord was bad, bot other things being ?/.." so his few this would be strong back tag. The other view would be de osstvo; we would not, without good wviocoee. take a mao into a bank as mowoy^handler whose antecedents or re? cent aneestors were, notorious for dis? honesty. Sock sa origin woold bo ; nrr sneb against him, and that is part v oT?e load of evils that- sin entails, f After the fothers shall be the children, ?- tad the cone nay descend to the third or fbttrth generation of them who do met keep the commandments of God. For ooo's sake, therefore, and for the sake of posterity, it is well to walk in tko straight path, leaving asa legacy a good name better than great riches. Thats one plan. Another is to koro the skull examined and ascertain if thc faculties are favorable to fair and finn dealing in money matters. Arreare soute who hold that the mor? al as wefi as tho mental qualities of a mao aro dependent on the configuration ? of Us brain, and that bumps or protu? berances, more er less prominent, but easily distinguished and mapped out, exhibit tho character of the candidate. This doctrine bas been taught, defend? ed and propagated these fifty years, but wo karo not yet heard that in any one ease a bank or any business house koo employed its officers and ?aaiafanti on such an, examination. Wo conclude therefore that it has made ?o imps*anon as a practical matter on the mind of the public. Several sagacious and well-disposed writers have rushed into print with the anoooaesment that the whole secret of tko numerous defalcations, stealings, oto., fies in the fact that salaries are not forge enough, and men employed to take care of other people's money kelp themselves to keep their families fro? starvation. This is the most ridi eoJooeofall tho explanations. Hun? dreds of eases have been published i within a few years past, of dishonesty on tho part of trusted treasurers, cash? iers, tellers, accountants and clerks, but in no instance, not one, has this been found to bo the cause or even the ex ease. Peculation bas grown out of speculation. Fast-living, not poverty, bas tempted bad yoong men to rob their employers. The gambling-house, tko pool-room, the horse-race, the house of ber whose gates open into hell, theos and such ss these draw the fool nod tko tbeif into ruin. When a poor nan ekes oot his small salary by petty thievings to get bread for bis fami? ly, ho does not spend it in riotous liv? ing, We do not deny that some are thoo drawn into woog-doing, and every prudent morebant and bank will cau? tiously study the condition of their as ' sistants, to see that no sncb danger exists. Wisdom, self-interest, will suggest this caution, as well as justice and benevolence. But the dishonesty of the present day in commercial , houses, has no palliation in any hard- , ship of this sort. Several recent and most distressing cases of such robbery hare appeared in the sons or near rela? tives of the employers: young men i who were in the enjoyment of abundant , means of support, sod having mooey ' enough to waste on their lusts, lost , every sentiment of affection, duty and ( honer, and broke the hearts, as well as j the commercial .standing of those to j whom they owed everything. Bank- i " roptey caused by filial prodigality most < oe an unspeakable calamity and sorrow. < And it fo the idlest of all truth to say < that young men are tempted to steal j because they have not all the mooey < they need for their legitimate wants. Whoo they would indulge in the follies r and vises of the rich, fashionable, and ' fast mon whom they see on the streets, they ore often tempted to 'repine over c their own lot, and to wish they had the c ! means of indulge DOS in luxuries beyond Hoir reach. They may steal to squan? der. But they are not tempted to a aconite get food for hungry families. Ie _ Tum 0 the bosh that is sometimes put ? into flor?is and. pathetic stories ia the ! o newspapers, bat tho oases of actual oe- s Oflnsyi aro all in your eye. s tfcsn is toe cause of this o Teasing? If so there most be some >eciSc occasion- We are quite sure lat the growing extravagance in the ;yle of living bas much influence on rose whose incomes are small. The ad example of rich and fashionable oung men is baleful in its effects on ie youth of moderate means. The men rho have leisure and plenty of louey making a display in equipage, Dterta?nments and edifices, which they au well afford, should bear in mind bat they are making an impression on it public mind; and they sbonld se ioasly consider whether they love their etghbora as themselves when they si mtly and perhaps unconsciously lead [kern to go and try to do likewise, lie struggle between moderate eujoy tent of life and that ideal which the rosperona man sets np as the perfec ion of earthly happiness is tremen oas, and often ruinons. To get rich ipidly is the snare, and into it, to leir perdition many men mil. To eep op appearances is the fight of life nth thousands of families. They will tarve to dress. AU this is to the oint we are driving at, in finding the sase of so much commercial dishonesty, > much stealing on the part of those who old respectable positions in society, nd sometimes in their church. It is i the want of contentment with the lot isigoed by Divine Providence : the ?cret longing to be in what seems to e a better position ; a lust of money ot to be hoarded, but to spend : a reed of gold that the getter may make display of it, have a better house, od rival a neighbor. It is the shod y pride of life. Jt is the ape coming at in the man. And to suppress this illy seeking after show, this sham of eal th, should be the aim of every onest man. Simplicity of living is it >lf a power for good io the comm an i r. Extravagance is a vice, corrupting ihers as well as one who '" indulges in Honest men are not to be obtained j consulting their tables of genealogy, or the configuration of their skulls, or by paying them more money, he heart is the seat of all evil. Out ; it proceed those desires that result ia inrders and robberies. A profession : piety is not an insurance against rongrdoing. Some bad men adopt it i a. digoise. Bot the daily life of a x>d man does speak for itself, and i who walketh with wise men is wiser, y the*r fruits men are pretty well sown, and very few employers suffer om peculations or defalcations ex ?pt through their own neglect of duty. . consciousness of being vigilantly over? eo, the assurance of difficulty in rading deteteetion will prevent a cow ?d thief from stealing, and will rengthen a weak man in the hour cf tn ptation. [ow to Have a Loving Wife. A correspondent sends the following ? > the Phrenological Journal: *If yon have a loving wife, be i.gentl? in your words after as before arriage, treat her quite as tenderly hen a matron as when a miss ; don't ake ber the maid of all work and ik her why she looks less tidy and neat tan when 'you first knew her : don't ny cheap, tough beef and scold her ;cause it does not come on the table ?orter house ;' don't grumble about [nailing babies if yon can't keep up 'nursery/ and remember that 'baby ay take after papa' tn his disposition ; >n't smoke and chew tobacco aod thus latter yoar nerves and spoil your tern? ir, and make your breath a nuisance, id then complain that your wife de? ines to kiss yon ; go home joyous and ?eerfnl to her and tell her the good sws you have heard, and not silently it on your bat and go out to thc 'club . lodge,' and let her afterwards learn itt you spent the evening at the opera r at a fancy bali with Mrs. Dash. Love )or wife ; be patient remen ber you t not perfect bot try to be ; let whis? ky, tobacco and vulgar company one, spend yonr evenings with your ife, and lead a christian life, and your ife will be loving and true-if you d not marry a heartless beauty with it sense of worth ; if you do, who is to lame if you suffer the consequences ?' The Nobility of Peace. The Philadelphia Press, tn reply to en. Sherman on the 'nobility of war,' ty*: 'Of course, in war times it is al ost enevitable that reputations should ? speedily made and often as speedily ? made. There are stormy petrels on te ocean, and on land men fitted only >r such times. These men are apt to link better of war than anybody else, ecanse it is their opportunity; but tey can never convince the mass of taukind that war has anything 'enno ling' about it, io and of itself. Many >!dters may go through a war and re? do their native nobleness, or even ex md it ; but such cases are exceptional. ? is a thousand times more likely to emoralize and blot out the sense of ight. and justice, which are the cbarac >ristic8 of true manhood, and he is not safe counsellor who teaches the doc .ine of its nobility. It is peace which i noble, aod which ts alone fitted to de elope the true manhood of nations.' Prayer. I will spend some extraordidary time i private devotion every Lord's day, lorning or evening, as opportunity may ffer, and will then endeanor to preach ver to my own soul that doctrine which preach to others. . . I find it ever well in family worship wheo it is ot so io secret ; never well abroad wheo - is not so at home ; nor on common ays when it is not so on the Lord's, .'he better I pray, the better I study. . As prayer is the food and breath f all practical religion, so secret prayer Q particular, is of vast importance ; in o much that I verily believe that if a nan were to keep a particular and ac urate journal of his own heart but for ne month, he would find as real and xact a correspondence between tbe tem? er of bis soul at the seasons of secret evotton and in other parts of his life, j is we find between the changes of ba ometer and the weather.-Doddridge. As soon as we divorce love from the coopations of life, we find that labor egeoerates into drudgery.

Hence, to cure the the disease the cause must be re? moved, and in no other way can a cure ever be effected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE is established on just this principle. It realizes that 95 Per Cent. of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys and liver, and it strikes at once at the root ot' the difficulty. The elements of which it is composed act directly upon these great organs, both as a food and restorer, and, by placing them in a healthy condition, drive disease and pain from the system. Fer the innumerable troubles caused by un? healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; for the distiessing Disorders of Women ; for Malaria, and for physical derangements gen? erally, this great remedy has no equal. Be? ware of imposters, imitations and concoctions said to be just as good. For Diabetes, ask for WARNER'S SAFE DIABETES CURE. For sale by all dealers. H. H. WARNER & CO., Rochester, N.

The paper we publish is essentially a type of modern progress, which demonstrates that this established jour? nal has become better and stronger as it in? creases in years.
