TKe Credit System. ]
"Owe no man anything," was tlie injunc- '
tion of a Christian Apostle, whose lessons 1
were seldom if ever unworthy of attention, s
If we were to express the sentiment, we <
should prefer the motto of .John Randolph.
"pay as you go." The politician compiled ]
the idea better than the Apostle. Owe men i
wo must, in all the courtesic"? an<l kindnesses
which belong lo^nnd grace humanity; I
it is a tlebt collateral with our being?an <
obligation of our nature; thercforo the
Apostle was not definite enough ; but Han- t
dolph hit the mark when he confuted his 3
maxim to debts pecuniary, which men, un- <
der the present order of things, are liable to 3
incur. He touched with a true and noble
philosophy one ofthe cninmnnnsf nml ?rn. ?_ (

Wc take it for granted that, as a general 1
ruin, debts pecuniary are contracted to bo l
paid, sooner or iatcr. As a general rule <
ilicir burthen is least tlic sooner they arc i
paid. Interest/ usury, dependence, law- i
suits, an<l costs of all kinds that hang over i
standing and litigated debts add, if we could s
but get at their total for a single year in this 1
country, millions of dollars to the original i
obligations. Friendships arc broken over i
debts; forgeries and murders arc committed 1

everywhere upon the harmonious relations 1
of individuals and society; they blunt sen- i
sitiveness to personal independence; and, t
' in no respect that we can fathom, do they
advance the general well-being.
\YelJ, as debts are incurred to be paid,
aridgiBthe saving all licsou the side of the

as we go, and thus avoid all debts, duns,

Advice to the Girls.
Now, girls, only think of it, as there are
four times as many females as there are |
males in the world,! think the men can <
have plenty to choose from, but you have <
but few ; and girls, when you are looking for i
a husband, net a sensible one, with a soul in |
his body. 1 mean one that will take care i
of you, himself, and the family. Have as i
fftlle as possible to say to the fancy or fash- (
ionable gents, as they manage to t:ikc the 1
heart, and then it leads to unhappy or bad f
results. Very good looking men scarcely i
ever make good husbands, but if you do I
lind one make sure of him. Don't trille j
with the men, because you may be sorry for \
it when it is too late. t'
At eighteen 1 was considered a beautiful I
young women. I was considerable of a co- v
ipiette, and loved to show my power over the o
men. 1 almost destroyed my happiness for
my last trial, I was loved by a young man 0
named Augustus Edwards, and he met with v
my favor. I determined one evening to put h
liis love to the test, and have the pleasure of
seeing him on bin knees before me. When
lie came I met liiin with a cold bow, and no
miile. He looked vciy much sin prised, ask- f,
L-d me what the matter was. tj
' Mr. Edwards," I answered, "you have u
placed your affections on inc, supposing that tl
they were returned." " p
"I thought so, certainly," lie replied.?lie lt
urned very pale, and tightly grasped the c
;hair he was standing b}*. a
" Anfiie," he exclaimed, the blood rushing b
0 his face, "I have loved you, and I love S|
roil still; but," his manly form trembled I
vith emotion, "farewell, I will never trouble a
rou more." n
He was gone. The scene was so different h
rom what I cxpcctcd that I could not utter b
1 word. My affcctions l>ccamc strong in a c
noinctit. /vii at once life bccamc dark to | \
no, and by my own foil}'. I ran to the win- 1<
low to call him back, but lie was out of hear- n
ng. I resolved to send a note to him next ti
norning, begging his forgiveness, and recall- g
ng all I had said in the evening. I passed a
t long and sleepless night, wishing anxious- tj
y for the morning to come. It came at last, v
*nd I sent the note, and waited in dreadful i<
suspense until the afternoon for an answer, tl
but received none. I sent another, but it tl
did not succeed any better than the first. I a
iould not wait and suffer any longer, so I tl
liurriedly prepared myself, and went to his c
house. Augustus was in, and in a few 1110- t
mentis ho came into the room. I (lew to him. 1
and taking liis hand begged his forgiveness t
for what t had said. r
" What difference does it make, if you li
rue going to wed another ?" he asked. f
" I did not mean what I said last evening,
dear Gu?," I answered, my heart heating
very fast.
" I forgive you," said he. t
" I shall not be forgiven unless you return I
your love tome. Oh ! say that I may again i
bo what I was to you !" I implored. w I <
can never love another." f
"You need not," he answered, folding me i
to ma nuurw l
We wcro married three months after, and <
lie proved to be a kind find affectionate lius- i
band. He is dead now, but ho is always fresh <
in my memory. Girls, now romcmber this, !
and all that I have said, and never be a co- I
quette, for it destroys all the fiiio^feclings of i
love, and you may not succeed as well as I
did in redeeming your man after a test.

Sweetened Drink.
In a small village in the southern sc
tion of Missouri resides a certain- major, wl
keeps a small, cosey, comfortable little in
famous for its sweetened drinks, as tvcll ;
a jovial landlord; and few of the surroUm
ing farmers visit the neighborhood, withoi
giving the major a friendly call, to taste h
" mixture." The gay host, with iollv phi
round person, bright oyc, and military ni
deals out the rations, spiced with jok?
which, if they arc not funny, are nt lea
laughed at, for the major enjoys them ?
vastly himself that his auditors aro force
to laugh out of pure sympathy.
A good old couple, who resided aboi
six miles from the major's, for a long pcrio<
had liccii in the habit of visiting him once
I month and as regularly went homo dreai
fully sweeten'd with the favorite mixture
but of late, we learn, the amicable relatior
existing between the major and his old visi
ora liavo been broken oft' by green-eye
jealousy. On the last visit, good cause w:
given lor an end being put to any uioi
' sweet drinking."
j " Uncle Merrill, how aro you, any liowi
was (lie major's greeting; "and I declare
missus aint with yon, too"?just as if ho c:
peeled she wouldn't come. "What'll yo
lake, missus ? shall I sweeten you a little <
about the best Cincinnati rectified that eve
was toted into these 'ere parts!?it je*
looks as bright as girls' eyes!" and here th
major winked and looked so sweet ther
was no resisting, and she did take a liltl
" sweetened."
The hours flew merrily by, and eveninj
found the old counle so overlomlfvl wit!
sweets, that it was with great difficulty the;
could be seated 011 the old gray mare, t<
return home; but after many a kind shaki
from the host, and just another drop of hi
" sweetcn'd," off they jogged, see sawing
from side to side on the critter, the old ladj
muttering her happiness, and the old mat
too full to find words to express himself.
" Such another man as that Major," sayi
she, " ain't nowhere?and such a mixtur' a

lecturere. lie is an amazin' nice man, and

Kvcr and anon theso encomiums 011 th
major and his mixture broke from the ol<
until nf n cuililnti nn iwiccini* o etnol
rivulet, a jolt of the marc's silenccd them
and the old man rode on a short distaiic
in perfect quietness. At length ho brok
out with?
" <_>ld woman, you and that 'ere major's con
duct, to-dny, war rayther unbccomin'?hi
formalities war too sweet to be mistook, an
you ain't goin lhar agin in a hurry."
Silence was the only answer.
"Oh you'io huffy, are you?" continue
the old man. "Well, I guess you can sta
so till you give in," and lie jogged in a s:
icntly jealous inoou. un amvuig at tn
farm, lie called to His negro to lift the ol
woman off, but Sam, tlio nigger, stood gi
zing at hiin in silent astonishment.
" Lift her off, you Sam, do you hear ?and
do it carefully, or some of her wrath'
l?ilo out. In spite of tlio major's sweetnii
she's mad as thunder."
" Why, dc lor," mnssa, do ole 'oman aii

his countenance. "Jest turn round, mass
and satisfy you'salf dat dc ole 'oman cl;

And sure enough, on a minute exami
ation by the old man, she was 'found mis
ing.' The major was charged at onco wil
abduction, instant measures were taken fi
pursuit, and a party despatched to bcoi
the road. On proceeding two miles on tl
road to the major's they wero sudden'
halted at tho small rivulet, by finding tl
missus with her head lying partly in tho litt
stream, its waters laying in her lap, and hi
lips softly murmuring?"Not a drop mor

When nnito slaked, dissolve it in watet1
and add 21bs. sulphate of zink (white vitriiQ
ol,) which may bo had at any of the drug"
,j gists, and which in a few weejes will catfsO
the whitewash to harden on the ivood work.
Add sufficient water to bring it to tho conj
sistcncy of thick whitewash. This wash id
a of course while, and as white is a color which
we think should never be used, cxcept upon
,. buildings a good deal surrounded by trees,
ls so as to prevent its glare, we would make it
a fawn or drab color before using it.
<1 To make the above wash a pleasing cream
us color, add ifhs. yellow ochre.
e For fawn color, tako 4 lbs. umber, 1 lb.
xiiuiun rcu, and nu. lampblack.
j? To make the wash grey or stone color add
If 4lbs. raw umber and 2lbs. lampblack.
c. The color may be put on with a common
u whitewash brush, and will be found much
inoio durable than common whitewash, as
ir tho sulphate of zinc sets or hardens tfio
whitewash.

e Cleaning Wall Tapers.?As many of

" of house cleaning, tt>~ renovate tho paper
'? upon the walls of the rooms, we copy from
e the Ohio Cultivator a method prescribed
c for so doing:
w Take about two quarts of wheat bran,
L" enclose it in a bag made of thin, open flan^
nel, or strainer cloth, and with this rub the
" paper, shaking up the bran occasisonally so
as to keep the surface fresh. With this ap,
paratus smoke can easily bo removed from
a wall paper. Grease spots can bo partially
y removed by rubbing tnem with cbalk and
l" then laying over thom several tliickncsses of
? brown pnpor, and press on a flat iron.
