An Ambitious Mamma after an Imaginary Lord.?Not many days ago there was a rather "load" woman down here, rich and vulgar, swooping around with her daughter, and putting on more airs than you could grind out of a hand-organ. One man who was disgUBted at the aristocratic nretensions of these people, thought he would have a little fan at their expense. So one day hepointed out a good looking fellow who was passing the hotel, and mentioned to the woman, in a sort of careless, off-handed way, that the good-looking fellow was a lord, who had just arrived in the country, and was stopping awhile at Cape May. This woman, you understand, wanted an introduction, so that she could set her daughter at work to rope in this scion of a noble house. The gentleman was presented no^i evening in the parlor, and this designing being of a mamma began to gusli right o^et him. She kept on exclaiming how much she had always admired the English nobility, and how much she had longed to see them in their own beautiful home; and then she asked this man if be did not sometimes long for his island home, and hate the society of the vnl gar Americans, and sigh fbr his high-born companions! At last the man turned around and said she must have made a mistake; he didn't care a red cent for aristocracy; he had no island home, for he came from Germany; and he had no high born companions, unless some of his companions were born in a garret. 80 this woman rose right up and pranced right out to the fellow who introduced her to the aristocrat, and she said : "See here! I thought you said that man was a lord!" "So he is," was the reply; "he is the landlord of the Dutch hotel around the corner there. Nice man, isn't he V' Perhaps that woman won't souse that man under ana hold him there the next time she catches him bathing in the surf. It wouldn't surprise us to learn at any time that he had been jammed, full of red-hot hair-pins by a savage female, who crowned the performance by executing a Xickapoo war-dance on his inanimate remains.?Cape May Wave. ? Dried up the Wrong Man.?The following is related of one of the brethren of a church not a thousand miles from this city, as having occurred a year or two since, but for obvious reasons not let out of the select circles where it has always been a great source of fun. A gentleman who is much gifted in exhortation, and likes to talk at Sunday School, attended an evening meeting. While the bell was ringing to hasten up the laggards, B. "improved his opportunity by addressing an eloquent exhortation. Thinking the bell had been rung long enough, another member said very imperiously to one of those small boys who are always around in season and out of season, "go and tell that fellow to stop." I A small boy never did understand anything as he was told to do it, and tbis particular small boy was not likely to stulify himself in that manner. Instead of going to the sexton and silencing "that dreadful bell," he threaded his way down the aisle, where B. was warming to his work, and in a loud hissing voice said, "Here, now, says for you to dry up that." Poor B. blushed a brilliant scarlet, cut off an earnest invocation in the middle of a sentence and all the balance of the evening | sulked in solemn silence. At the close of the meeting he demanded of the offending member an explanation, which was satisfactorily given ana the "unpleasantness" amicably settled. An Indignant Colored Deacon.?Old "Daddy" Mingo Pinckney was one of the colored deacons of the May River Baptist Church, near Bluffton, South Carolina. One sultry Sunday in August, the church being crowded to bear a thrilling preacher, the intense heat of the weather proved too strong for Mingo's strict religious principles, and he fell without a groan into the arms of Morpheus. The preacher was thundering away from the text, "Plow up your fallow ground, and sow good seed." For some length of time the happy deacon merely nodded an unconscious assent to whatever the pulpit said, but at last, suddenly springing out of his sleep, he yelled out before the frightened assembly, "Look yea, mass' preacher! You white folks always do holler out to we cullud folks, 'Plow up! hoe up! plant up!' as if liberty was all a cuss and a delusion ! Now I tell you not a nigger in dis church shall hit a lick on de LordYday!" There is an island on the coast of Vir ginia where the people in times past have not J been "righteous overmuch." During the past j year a missionary has labored among tnera ' with considerable success. Not long ago, as j this good man was busy working in nis shirt, sleeves, on a new church which was in process j of erection, a stout sea captain hailed him? i "Are you the minister here ?" "Yes, sir." "Well, I've got ten dollars for you." "For the church ?" "No, for yourself. I like your way of doing things here. I've come to this island for clams a good many years, and have always found them a thousand or hfteen hundred short when I got home. It will pay me to have you keep on preaching doctrines which make the people oount their clams honestly." . ?? The Only Cheap Thing at Martha's Vineyard.?A reoent visitor to Martha's Vineyard camp-ground, who had been suffering from the exorbitant charges made for everything during "meeting week," such as four dollars a day for rooms, two dollars for breakfast, etc? was strolling past the socie?. ties' tents (which encircled the tabernacle,) where meetings were being held. Just as he was passing one, the voice of an exhorter was heard, "Salvation's free, salvation's free." He stopped at once, and said : "I'll take some of that; it's the only thing I've heard of since I've been here that I haven't had to pay a \ big price for." ^ " 'soclalkd with sherfb."?"<>, ?*.$ 866 Bill Smith going up the street.

She had read the rharisees "strained at gnats and swallowed camels." 19" "I believe in going to the bottom of things," as a schoolma'm in town said, when she laid a refractory lad over her knee. jtgrwultal grjrartowttt. PROLIFIC COTTON FROM THE ORDINARY. Editors Southern Cultivator ?As the cotton picking season is approaching, I send an experiment which I have tried with a few seed selected last season from the ordinary cotton. Last season while reading in the Cultivator of the great advantages to he gained by planting improved seed, I endeavored to purchase a few, but failed in every attempt, and planted my entire crop with ordinary seed. On a patch of seven acres, I found one stalk that resembled very much the improved cotton planted by my neighbors?its branches were short and crowded with bolls. Knowing that no improved seed had been planted about the place where I obtained mine, I hunted over a few acres, to find out the cause of this fair specimen, and succeeded in finding several with a few short limbs similar to the former. From these I have selected and planted separate from the rest, and the result is, that they have all produced plants similar to each other. Those stalks containing the snort limbs are well known to all planters, called by some "forked cotton," composed of two or three prongs. Once in a while, by noticing elosely, there will be found on all these stalks, a very few short limbs, by selecting from these and planting separately, any planter can in a few years produce an improved seed of the short limbed variety of his own. These short limbs will not be found on every stalk of this description, as they are very scarce, and it is owing to the scarcity of these limbs, that we find so little of the prolific cotton mixed with the ordinary. Where this stalk with short limbe has only two prongs, it sel-; dom produces more than one boll to the limb; out where it has three prongs, two and three bolls will often ,be found on one limb. These bolls will all be found to open by the middle of October, and will form a very early and productive cotton. By selecting from the short limbs of the Peeler and others, a variety may be produced as productive as the Dickson. Why should the planters of the South pay five dollars for one bushel of cotton seed, when they have such an advantage as this? I have also walked over several other fields' of ordinary cotton which have planted in this country for a great many years, without any improvement in seed, and find the same result in all. Very truly, WM. HARPER. Brookville, Miss., August 2,1870. Salt for Domestic Animals.?The quantity per head, apid the proper way of administering salt to our domestic animals, and also the question whether they should have salt at all, we observe is still being discussed, and going the rounds of the agricultural papers. Practical experience has long since settled 11 a* . j afaolr av afli. ID6S6 (JU6SUU11S) ttUU vto uiiua uu oiwa VA WU er farmer, who has ever tried it, will resort to any but the common-sense plan of having a lump of rock-salt accessible to stock .at all times. It should be in the horse and cowtrough, in the sheep and barn-yard, and in the field. They will then take as much as they want, and nature prompts no more. Taken in this way, it will promote appetite, good health, ana thrift, and no diarrhoea or other disease will result, as they often do when given at specified times and in large quantities. Salt is not a food but a condiment. The human system requires some salt in food ; but we imagine if a tablespoonful or other quantity of salt was put before a man only at certain times, and perhaps when his appetite did not prompt the use of it, it would do no good. We think the same rule applies to our domestic animals; but by allowing them free access to it, they will never take more than enough; and what they do take will promote tbnft, and indirectly ward off diseases tav which the flesh is heir. | ^ j| f&r No blister draws sharper thin interest does. Of all industries none is comparable to that of interest. It works all day and night in {air weather and in foul. It has no sound in ^its footsteps, but travels fast. It gnaws at a man's substance with invisible teeth. It binds industry with a film, as a fly is bound in a spider's web. Debts roll a man over and over, binding hand and foot, and letting him hang upon the fatal mesh until the long legged interest devours him. There is but one thing on a farm like it, and that is the Canada thistle, which swarms new plants every time you break its roots, whose blossoms are prolific, every flower the father of a million seeds. Every leaf is an awl, every branch a spear, and every plant like a platoon of bayonets, and a field of them like on amiod IiakL The whole Dlant is a tor merit and a vegetable curse. And yet a farmer had better make his bed of Canada thistles than attempt to be at ease upon interest. Making Fertile a Clay Soil.?Many of our farmers are not troubled with the stiff clay soil that is often difficult to make productive, and so cloddy and unmanageable in spring and summer; but others possess this soil, and will no doubt profit by our remarks: Fall plowing, leaving the ground as rough as possible when done, ready to go through ; in winter when frozen up solid haul on all the manure and litter you have, scattering it pretty evenly over the surface. In the spring you will find that the frost has been a great pulverizer and that the great adhesiveness of your impervious clay has passed away. The manure and roughness you have applied will, in a great measure, tend to keep the soil loose and productive. If it is intended for corn it will need plowing again in spring, if for any small grain, only harrow down thoroughly after the grain is sown. Frost as an agent to fertilize and destroy the solidity of clay soil, is too little understood by our cultivators.? Rural World. Post and Rail Fence.?A writer of Pennsylvania, in 1832, says he planted four gate | posts, with a two inch auger hole bored | through them, which was filled with salt, and j plugged at both ends; they were cased with boards, and some salt put inside the case | near the ground. Twenty years afterward I these posts we^e. in the beet state of preservation. The same individual has applied salt | to chesnut post for common rail fence in the ! following mode: a hole with an inch auger across tne post diagonally, one side about four inchss above the surface of the ground, and the other two inches below it, the holes being filled with salt, and secured by plugs of cedar or chesnut. After ten years the salt remained as at first, and the posts were perfectly sound.?Albany Cultivator. Keep Plowing Under.?A Georgia far-1 mer, in 1865, fenced in a field of ten acres? land worn out?plowed it in June and sowed it in wheat in September, and at harvest time got four bushels to the acre. The next season there was a fair crop of weeds. These were plowed under and wheat tried again. The yield, per acre, was nine bushels. The same process the succeeding year produced seventeen bushels per acre, and the last year twenty-seven bushels. As no mention is made about the use of clover, these successive croppings and constantly increasing yields are somewhat remarkable. It is assured that had the ground been subsoiled twenty inches deep, the last yield would have been doubled. Rochester American Farmer. An Approved Whitewash.?The following is sent out by the Lighthouse Board of the Treasury Department: "The following recipe for whitewashing has been found, by experience, to answer on wood, brick and stone, nearly as well as oil paint and is much cheaper: Take half a bushel of unslacked lime with boiling water, keeping it covered during the process. Strain it, and add a peck of salt, dissolved in warm water; mix these well together, and let the mixture stand for1 several days. Keep the wash thus prepared | in a kettle or portable furnace, and when used | put it on as not as possible, with painters' | whitewash brushes." fleadittg lav the ?aMrath. .CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT EATEAN. [Original.] SINCERITY. There is a theory, believed and practiced by many, which is alike opposed to sound philosophy and the plain teachings of the Bible. The theory is, that if we are sincere in our belief, no matter what it is, we are safe. Such a principle makes truth nothing, and sincerity every thing. I may be sincere in believing that I have discovered "perpetual motion;" but this belief, however sincere I may be in it, does not change the laws of nature aud save me from loss, if I attempt to practice my theory. Laudonniere tells, no doubt in the sincerity of his heart, that he saw natives of Florida that were two hundred and fifty years old, who had a good prospect of living half a century more; but the enterpri- 1 sing Frenchman never discovered the fountain of health, and although earnest in his search for it, and sincere, so far as any one knows in his belief of its existence, grew old auu uigu* Thinking a thing is true, by no means makes j it bo. Sincerity is by no means an absolute . safeguard against danger. Men are just as sincere in believing false principles as they 1 are in adhering to true ones. Physiologists, , before the days of Harvey, believed that the j -arteries were air vessels, with as mhch sin- i cerity as Physiologists of the present day believe that these arteries are the channels ' through which oxygized blood flows from the ! heart to the extremities of the body. A vast multitude, perhaps the majority, of j old theories have been exploded. Three hun- ] dred years ago there were many intelligent < men who believed in the existence of witches, and that witchcraft was extensively praotioed. J These men were no hypocrites. They were t honest so for as ignorance and honesty are i compatible. No doubt many persons, who i were in some way or other connected with < what is known as "spirit rapping," honestly ' felt that wondrous things were performed by them as mediums. In fact, it is very proba- j ble that most of the theories, both in religion , and philosophy, that are tenaciously adhered ] to, are false in principle. There is no man ] living who is not the sincere advocate of some 1 dogma which can claim no higher origin J than the morbid state of his own brain. All of us can see the motes in our neighbor's eyes, , the mistaken notions which he cherishes and i attempts to practice to his detriment, yet we i never think of charging these men with in- { sincerity. 1 The motto of Davy Crockett is a good one. i "Be sure you are right," was his watchword. ( Sincerity will avail very little if we are wrong. | With regard to our beliefs and practices, no i man, without the word of God and the influ- ' ences of the Holy Spirit, can be sure he is right 1 Our understandings are so-darkened, our af- j fections so depraved, and our wills so subju- , gated to sin, that we can neither discern the ( /? 1 .1 _ . .1 -1 4.^,4.1. trutn, nor ieei uoetruui, nor uukj iuc uuw, , The heathen are just as sincere in worshiping < and adoring dumb idols, as Christians are in 1 venerating the God of creation, providence , and grace. Their sincerity in worshiping a ( block of wood does not make the wood divine, , nor the adoration bestowed upon it right and j proper. 1 The inhabitants of Berea were more noblei ' than those of Thessaloni^a, in that they rem ceived the word of God with all readiness of mind and searched the Scriptures daily to 'j learn whether the things spoken by Paul and ( Silas were true or not. Many of them sincere- < ly believed the gospel, not because jPaul and Silas preached it, but because it was consonant with the teachings of the Bible. The Thessalonians rejected it in all sincerity sojfar as we know. . .. ( Every religious tenet and practice must be founded upon the plain teachings of the word of God, otherwise sincerity in its belief and practice as true, does not make us excusable. Every man ought to be able to give a good and substantial reason for bis faith; otherwise, it matters not how sincere he may be, his religion is nothing but a kind of superstition, even if it be the true religion. In order to speak the truth, we must know the truth, feel the truth, and will the truth. So tojworship the true God, we must know the true God, love the true God, and will to serve the true God. Hypocrisy and insincerity are heinous sins, but indifference with regard to truth, and a mere automatic devotion, are more heinous in the sight of God. [Original.] EARLY TRAINING. Every man receives impressions in youth that remain visible during the whole of his life. Peter was recognized to be a Galilean by his peculiar pronunciation. Parents, guardians and school teachers, give inclinations to the minds and characters of youth committed to their charge, which become traits of character in these youths when they become men and women. A defect in our early education follows us like a scar to the grave. We may learn that we are wrong, and what is right, but it will always take an effort to practice the right You never can make, in practice, an accomplished master of the English language out of the boy whose ears have been accustomed to localisms for the first fifteen years of his life. You may make him a thorough grammarian so far as understanding the philosophy of the lauguage is concerned, but when he commences to converse he will blurt out some of his localisms which he learned when a child. On this principle parents cannot be too careful to give their children early training in the religion of the Bible. The boy who is propI erly taught in the doctrines of the Bible by his parents, can and will learn more theology by the time he is fifteen, than the same boy can learn in a Theological Seminary in ten years of his after life, if his religious education is neglected for the first fifteen years. Not only so, but thete are some things that no man can learn in a theological seminary. A boy may and can learn them around his father's fire-side. Peter could not break himself of his Galilean pronunciation; neither can a man divest himself of the dialect of the world if he once learns to use it glibly. Every trade and profession has and uses a language peculiar to itself. This is true with resnent to the relieion of the Bible. Its lan guage is peculiar, and unless we learn it in our youth, we never can learn it so as to use it correctly and easily. Some men preach and still do not use scriptural language. Their i language is that of the arts and sciences, and j often the language of Pagans. Much, if not all, of this impropriety, may be traced to improper early training. | ? <~ *6?" The Rev. Richard Cecil once broke out I in the pulpit thus: "As a public witness for God and his truth, I must tell you that you should never despair. No distressed woman ever hoped more against hope than the mother of your preacher. But she prayed and waited patiently. She put her trust in the Omnipotent Arm. She not only prayed, but she instructed his mind and then waited God's season. She lived long enought to hear that child preach the Gospel which he had once despised. And she Baid, *Lord now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace." WORKING MEMBERS. How few there are who take part in the duties of religion! Some of our churches, and, in comparison with the whole number of professing members, the majority are not active workers. They seem to feel, bfct they do. not act. We trust that the light is within them, but they do not let it shine out They {>rofess to feel interested in the welfare of r^ . igion and their own churches, and wish them success; but they make no actions, nor do any deeds, by which it may be visible to all that they have a heart to work and do work. There seems to be a disposition, in the minds of many, to be simple recipients of the blessings of the Gospel, without dispensing, or being the means of dispensing, these blessings to * others. Christ said to the man out of whom " he had cast the evil spirit, and who afterward sat at his feet clothed in his right mind: "Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee." So every Chris-tian, every member of the church, should feel 1 that he is sent forth to say and to do something for Christ. To come to church, listen to the truth, pay ouj pew rent, give to our benevolent boards, and honor and respect religion?all this is well, but is it all ? Does it give the evidence of an earnest Christian worker ? It is a kind of silent Christian life, a sort of latent zeal which accomplishes noth mg. Ah ! no. It we want to be earnest^wouM era for Christ and in our church, we into the prayer meeting, into the Sabbath school; engage in the tract cause; interest ourselves in our various missions; ascertain their wants; read the accounts and letters of missionaries; give ourselves and get others to rive; speak out for Christ by prayer in our families, in public; talk to our friends and constrain them to come to Jesus?in a word,-: we must say and do something for Christ and his cause. Oh! if it were possible so to arouse the professing membership of our church that they would become workers?all doing something for Christ's cause and the church of their adoption?we would soon see a different state o'f things throughout the bounds of our beloved Zion.?Christian Treasury. "My Sisis'ever before Me."?Of course it was. God meant it should be. An atrocious crime Jay at the Sovereign's door. Some perhaps winked at it Others, it may be, palliated; said that it would soon fade from public right Miserable comfort that Whether hidden from other eyes or not, it looked the offender constantly in the face. Nathan, 1 bold messenger?has held up a mirror in which the guilty king may see himself day and night. And multitudes of men less criminal are in the same case. Many a one tolay is carrying around the haunting consciousness, "I am a spotted man. No matter if it has not been found out, I know it, and there is the sting." The tnmgression has stamped itself on the consciousness, on the memory, on he character, as the die at the mint stamps itself "on the bit of metal we call coin. It cannot be put out of sight. Time in its flight , may partially wipe the imprint out But often it will rise years thereafter, perhaps even in a dying hour. The very curse of many a man's existence is that he cannot rid himself .if remembrances of sin. The wound may be iltogether healea, but the scar is there. Take care you who stand on the outside edge of wickedness, and feel inclined to step over the border and see wnat lies mere. iaae care. There are multitudes of men standing on God's ride to-day, who would give up almost everything save their hope of heaven, if they could be put back where you stand. Keep a wide berth between yourself and wrong. * Acquaintance with it can never be the slightest gampIt will bring you loss every way.

Bo not Imagine you can have a hey day of riotiug and reveling and come out as pure, as fit for God's service below, and God's home above. ACKNOWLEDGING CHRIST. In nearly every community, there are a few timid, irresolute persons, who have a trembling faith in Christ, but who do not come out decidedly, and confess him. They may be Christians; but the world is not allowed to know it. They carry dark lanterns. "Shining lights" they certainly are not No one is the better for their secret, clandestine attempts to steal along quietly toward heaven without letting any one overhear their footsteps. Now this is a miserable (we are almost' ready to say contemptible) mode of living? this concealment of the colors when danger threatens; this following along after the church, with a vague hope of being counted among God's people when heaven's prizes are distributed to the faithful. "We do not say that no one can be saved who does not openly join some Christian church; but we do say that the person who expects Christ to Acknowledge him in heaven, and yet refuses to acknowledge Christ "before men," is a self-convicted coward, and, while disobeying his Master's orders, has no right to expect his Mas-" ter's blessing. After fifteen years of pastoral observation, we have come to the conclusion 1 that every day spent by the genuine convert outside of the church of Christ is almost a day lost; he loses the sense of responsibility that he needs to feel ;'he loses the opportuniA* ?^ ~ 1/vnAa in oftl ? wnonaof lfl lies UI UUlllg guuu , lie 1U3CO 111 ocil-llsinvii, WI the respect of others; he loses the approbation of him who has so impressively said, "Whosoever is ashamed of me before men, of him will I be ashamed when I shall come in my own glory." When God gives confession he demands confession. To be effective and useful, this must be prompt, open, hearty and decided. Morning Prayer.?In the morning the"' mind is calm; the temptations of the day have not beset you; the duties of the day have not filled your mind and begun to vex you.1 Before you go to the duties of the day, to its cares and anxieties and temptations, be- j gin the day with prayer. Temptations you j certainly will meet; trials nf vjrtpfl and tience will overtake you, and many times fore night you will need the aid of your Fathr er to shield yofy Go to him, and ask his counsel to guide you, his power to uphold you, his presence to cheer you, his spirit to sanctify you. Then will you have done what is equivalent to half the duties of the day, when > you have thus engaged his care and assistance, j And when the evening comes, when you have J done with the duties of the day, the body is wearied and the mind is jaded ; and when the world is shut out by the shades of the night, when you come to look back and review the day, when you see how many deficiencies have marked it, how many imperfections still cluster around you, how many sins stare you in the face, how little you have done for your self, or for others, or for God, the day past, then is the hour for prayer. It will be sweet to feel that you have one to whom you can go, and who will hear you; one who will forgive you, if you are penitent and ask in the name of Jesus Christ; one who will accept your evening sacrifice and give you strength for the morrow, and gird you with his righteousness. This hour, if rightly improved, will be like the cheering countenance of a most beloved friend. Take care that nothing comes between you and these hours devoted to God.? Dr. Todd. ISfBad thoughts are worse enemies than lions and tigers; for we can keep out of the way of wild beasts, but bad thoughts win their way everywhere. The cup that is full will hold no more; keep your hearts full of good thoughts, that bad thoughts may find no room to enter.

LOSS OF HIND IS OLD AGE. Fatuity from old age cannot be cured, but it may be prevented by employing the mind constantly in reading and conversation in the evening of life. Dr. Johnson ascribes the fatuity of Dean Swift to two causes: first, to a resolution he made in his youth that he would never wear spectacles, from the want of which he was unable to read in the decline of life; and, secondly, to his avarice, which led him to abscond from visitors, or deny himself to company, by which means he deprived himself of the only two methods by which sew ideas are acquired or old ones renovated. His mind, from these causes, languished for the want of exercise, and gradually collapsed into idiotism, in which state he spent the close of his life in a hospital founded by himself for persons afflicted with the same disorder, of which he finally died. Country people, when they have no relish for books, when they lose their ability to work or to go abroad from age or weakness, are very apt to become tatuitous, especially astney are too often deserted in their old age fay; the younger branches of their families, in consequence of which their minds become torpid from the want of society and conversation. Fatuity is more rare in cities than in country places, only because society and conversation can be had in them upon more easy terms; and it is less common among women than men, only because they seldom survive their ability to work, and because their employof such a nature as to admit of QKin?xarried on by their firesides, apd li a seoantary posture. The illustrious Dr. Franklin exhibited a , striking instance of the influence of reading, writing and conversation* in .prolonging a sound and active state of all the faculties of his mind. In his eighty-fourth year he discovered no one mark in any of them of the weakness of decay usually observed in the minds of persons at that advanced period of life. I cannot dismiss this subject without yemarking that the moral faculties, when properly regulated and directed, never partake of the decay of-the intellectual Acuities in old , age, even in persons of uncultivated minds. It would seem as if they were thus placed beyond the influence, not onlv of time, but often of diseases and accidents, from their exercise being so indispensably necessary to our happiness, more especially In the evening of life. The Bev. Dr. Magaw, it is well known, had lost, with his memory for events, his consciousness of place and time, by a paralytic disease; and yet in this situation he retained for several years so high a sense of religious obligation, that he penormed his devotions morning and evening, and at his meals, with as much regulttinfir anil a/wpanfnaaa aa arrays Via /lid AVAn in IMi 1VJ MUU WAAVVVMVW MW VfV* ?*w v???j v I the most vigorous state of his mind. Nick Biddle's Financial Strategy.?It was well settled that the war on the United States bank, which permeated every political question, about 1882, was a political movement. To give a mortal blow to the bank, the chief managers of the opposition determined upon a bold and daring stroke of policy. This was to break one of the branches the bank if it were possible. A New York broker, whose name we will call Clark, was consulted as to the feasibility of the plan, and he pronounced it easy and sure of execution. It was therefore entrusted to him to carry out; and two hundred thousand dollars were given to him to put it into execution, with a guaranty of such further amount as he might require. Clark selected the Savannah branch, as the weakest and the most remote from rescue. The business done by this branch was small, and its average of specie on hand was on a range from eight to twelve thousand. Allowed ample time, Clark gathered in the notes of this branch, gradually and from all Convenient localities, where it could be done jtfthopt exciting suspicion. Ik due time, h^v- ( ra>secured an amount of notes sufficient to mike his object assured, he started for Savannah. No one but himself was aware of what, or the extent of what he had been doing. The famous Nicholas Biddle, president of the great bank, was able and equal to his duties la the emergencies that surrounded the bank. Not long after Clark commenced gathering in the notes of the Savannah branch, the .Iseekly returns of the branch banks to the mother bank began to exhibit a decrease in the average receipts of the Savannah branch notes. This decrease continued weekly, and became so significant that Biddle took it up and studied it Like a spider in its net the famous financier watched every part of the web. It was clear that something was going wrong in the direction of the Savannah branch. So he shipped two hundred thousand in specie to that branch, quietly, with a confidential letter to the president on that subject. > In due time broker Clark reached the branoh bank at Savannah?chuckling. When he announced that he had $73,000 of the jpotes 0f that bank for which he refused to take sight drafts on New York or Philadelphia?nothing but the specie?the mysterywas explained. But when the demanded specie began to roll out; when the astonished 4tnd astounded eyes of brother Clark beheld the. rolling kegs, and the cashier called out: jJTwenty thousand?thirty thousand?forty thousand"?and the kegs still came rolling out, he caved in?asked for terms?and at last went off, loaded down with just as much specie as the bank wished to move to New York; with a rousing bill of costs and a. lively flea in his ear. Curious Confirmation of a Prophecy. Napoleon's Fall Predicted.?The war, writes a Frankfort correspondent, has its humorous as well as sad side, and before the times become too earnest I will give you a number of curious gleanings and anecdotes which have appeared in recent German pa<?era. I bought for a kreutzer a few days ago a small printed sheet headed "A Remarkable Prophecy," in which the end of Napoleon is apparently foretold for the present year. I have seen similar things before in relation to Napoleon: The following calculation t^says tne pnntea |Sh^QJ3^of great interest now on account of fl^jrpnsing results gained therefrom: Louis fhillippe was born 1773 His Queen 1782 They were married 1809 Ascended the French throne 1830 By the addition of these historical numbers, as follows? c~ 1830 1830 1830 1 1 1 7 7 8 7 8 0 3 2 9 1848 ' ; 1848 1848 we get the ominous year of 1848, in which Louis Phillippe actually abdicated the throne. This method of calculation has been applied to the present Emperor, and equally surprising results have been achieved: ./ Napoleon III was born 1808 The Empress Eugenie was born 1826 jHiey were married 1853 Ascended the throne 1853 Taking these figures and working them out as before, we have: 1853 1853 1853 1 1 1 8 8 8 X 0 2 5 8 6 3 1870 1870 1870 The deduction of these figures is apparent to every one; Louis Napoleon will lose his throne during the present year. ? ? -Success.?Every man must patiently abide his tima He must wait, not in listless idleness, not in useless pastime, not in querulous dejection, but in constant, steady, and cheerful endeavor, always willing, fulfilling, and accomplishing his task, that, when the occa* sion comes he may be equal to the occasion. The talent of success is nothing more than | doing what von can do well, without a thought of fame. If it comes at all, it will come Decause it is deserved, not because it is* sought after. _ It is very indiscreet and troublesome,. ambition which cares so much about fdni^ i about what the world says of us, to be alwlSgj ] looking in the faces of others for approval/Hir be always anxious about the effect of what we do or say, to be always shouting, to hear the echoes of our own voices. "As thb Twig is Bent the Tree is Inclined."?We often hear mothers wondering why their daughters are so indolent, or so ignorant of household matters, or so careless in their habits. They complain, and scold, and fret over it, but they make no attempt to teach them any better. The fault lies with the mothers themselves; instead of training their girls to habits of industry and neatness, instead of instructing them to household wayB, they have allowed them to grow up without any training at all. Girls are not going to learn these things of their own accord; they must be taught from the time they are old enough to learn, how to be neat ana industrious. The teaching of them must be systematic, beginning in their early years; it will not do to train them a month, then leave them three months to do as they please. Education is, after all, the mighty magician that turns everything into gold. Mothers, educate your girls to be neat and industrious, and you will never have to complain that they are not neat and industrious women. Train them carefully in household ways; teach them to make puddings, and cakes, and pickles, and preserves; show them how to be tidy about ahouse, how to do everything in the neatest manner. Teach them by precept and example; it is worth the trouble; for, instead of having drones and slatterns about you, you will have well trained and useful helps. Where is your Boy at Night ??The practice of allowing boys to spend their evenings on the streets is one of the most ruinous, dangerous and mischievious things possible. Nothing so speedily and surely marks their ebnxse downward. They acquire, under the' i cover of night, an unhealthy state of mind, vl^g&r and profane language, obscene prac! tlces, criminal sentiments and a lawless riotous bearing. Indeed it is in the street after nightfall, that boys generallyattjuire the education and the capacity for becoming rowdy, dissolute men. Parents, do vou believe it ? Will you keep your children home at nights and see that their home is made pleasant and profitable ? By doing so you may save yourselves a great deal of grief and perplexity in your old age. He Drinks.?How ominous that sentence falls! How we pause in conversation and calculate?"it is a pity I" How his mother hopes he will not when he grows older; how nis sisters persuade themselves that it is i L. :?i A_J oniy a iew wua oais mat ne js sowing i ouu yet the old men shake their heads and feel gloomy while they think of it Young mui, just commencing life, buoyant with hdapt don't drink! You are freighted with a preawtw cargo. The hopes of your parents, ofwflH sisters, of your wife, of your children, all are laid down upon you 1 In you the aged live over again their dayB; through you only can that weary one you love obtain a position in society ; and from the level in which you place them must your children go into the great struggle of life.
