Late Hours. It is not merely a popular prejudice which, casts suspicion on the character of those who keep late hoars. Bad hours and bad deeds are believed to be generally found in company. That they who sleep should sleep in the night, is a truism in harmony at once with the order of nature and good society. If the regulation, once enforced in England, that every light 'should be extinguished at the ringing of the curfew bell, or nine in the evening, was a little arbitrary, it must have imposed a valuable re? straint on the practice of vice. We are re? minded, by the result of a recent trial in this city, how deeply these impressions have rooted themselves in the popular mind. The accused was in that case not proven, by direct evidence, to be guilty of the charge preferred against him; but the fact that he was seen about the premises of his paramour about three o'clock in the morning, turned the scale against him, and secured his conviction. Late hours are incompatible with successful business. The trader, the banker, or the man? ufacturer who keeps late hours, never succeeds. This is the rule, and the exceptions only prove its truth. There are plenty of reasons for this ; and every man of experience knows how to at-, tach-to them their proper weight. Late hours unfit a man for business. First. On account of the physical effects. In these days of sharjp competition, nothing but good abilities, applied with the most un? yielding energy, will achieve success. The tra? der who comes to his office half exhausted for lack of "nature's sweet repose." with his brain muddled, his step heavy, his eye dull, and his nerves irritable, is pretty sure to be crabbed with his clerks and his customers; he is be? hind with his work, speuds his short and hur? ried day in a state of fretful anxiety, augmen? ted by the harassing surroundings of a neglec? ted business; has no time to look ahead to trace out his future course, and justly weigh the prospects; his fevered brain cannot as calmly take in the situation as his cool-headed neighbor, who has full eight hours of dream? less, sober slumber; he forgets his notes, his debts, his promises, aud his engagements gen? erally, which results in quarrels and suits. Pie seeks his friend's sympathy and consolation, by declaring how terribly he is overworked. He bewails his lot, and thinks it will kill him ; aud so it will?uot the work, but his bad hab? its. It will be found that nine out of ten of these '''overworked" people are the victims of some exhausting habit. It is when the vital forces begin to slacken, and the nervous sys? tem flags, that the worst mischief of late hours sets in. Stimulants and a higher pitch of ex? citement become indispensable, and the result is soon reduced to one or two alternates?re? formation-or ruin. .Second. The moral effects are not less im ortant in considering this dangerous vice. To eep up this unnatural excitement, which ets at defiance the course of nature, whisky, tobac? co and cards are the chief agencies, ft is not often that topics'of science, art, morals or re? ligion are discussed till break of day with so? ber sense, for the purposes of mutual improve? ment. These are midday topics, which do not intoxicate, but edify. "Those that be drunken are drunken in the night." "Rioting in the daytime" is represented in the Bible as the last stage, when all self-respect is gone?when the bottom round' in the ladder of degradation is reached. Late hours make the small begin? ning, "the parting of the ways," the point at which the path of vice is entered upon. Wed? ded to bad company, as they are apt soon to be, an endless progeny of vices, follies, failures and troubles spring up to plague their victim. Itis,the.fitting occupation of bats, owls, and hungry wolves, to squeak, and'screech, and howl m the-deadi hours of night; but the young man who would achieve any success in business life must go to bed early?must work in the day and sleep in the night. A Spanking Machine. This is an age of invention, and there is no knowing what a day may bring forth. Promi? nent educators have for years ransacked their brains and consumed midnight oil to devise 9ome method whereby the youthful student, the urchin with thick-soled pantaloons could be chastised as the gravity of his offense might demand without inflicting a more severe punishment upon the teacher's hand than upon the child. Previous to the invention of this machine, principals of schools have v/ept to see-their assistants go round with their arms in a sling from the effects of punishing scholars. In many cases excellent teachers, who loved their calling, have been compelled to resign their positions because they had too much on their-hands. The matter has been discussed at the various institutes, and it had been almost decided to adopt capital puuishment instead of thi time honored taking across the knee, when the in? ventor of this machine stepped in, and, by a simple device, he saved the lives of many valu ble young ones. The heart of the inventor was touched at seeing a frail school ma'am with, her right hand swelled up to the size of a canvass ham from agitating a boy who had wickedly placed a piece of clap-board inside of Hi* pants when he knew that the teacher was on the war-path after him. The teacher was weeping, aud mentally saying she would run that boy through a threshing machine before she got through with him. The idea at once struck the inventor that a machine could be constructed that would tan the jacket, as it were, of the young reprobate, and as the result of careful thought and study the spanking machine was invented. What a change ! Instead of dreading the task of pun? ishing scholars and shivering at the prospect of blistered hands, the teacher can enjoy the performance, and look forward to the hour for doing up a day's spanking with a feeling of pleasure and gladness, and the frown formerly stereotyped on the face of the average school ma'am gives place to an angelic smile. She Reats herself at the instrument, after placed the condemned urchins iu a row within reach of the hoisting apparatus or ice-tongs. She smiles, touches the snatch-brake with her foot, and the doomed urchin is launched into ?if not eternity, he will think so before that hand lets up on him. With a smile playing over her features, she works her tiny feet, the avenging hand descends, and the old machine works as though endowed with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It will only take a moment of treading to make any ordinary boy sorry he enlisted, when he can be dropped and the next can be snatched. The whole school can be spanked in fifteen minutes, if the teach? er is anything of a treader.?New York News. ? A Baltimore produce firm received from Ohio, a few days ago, a large consignment of eggs, and in one of the barrels, ten or twelve inches below the chine, was found a live chick? en, which had hatched since the eggs were j packed for market. The little fellow chirped I loudly for food when released, its appetite hav? ing no doubt been strengthened by its tedious journey. Several other eggs in the vicinity of the one from which his chickenship emerged showed unmistakable signs of animation, and on being deposited in a basket near a kitchen, each produced a living chicken?all of which were doing well as could be expected at last accounts. This is another exemplification of the enterprise and go-aheaditiveness of the West. ? The ways of women are past finding out. It is said that the ladies of Hartford, Conn., have a fashion of tying up their taper fingers when young gentlemen arc expected to call, and when they very naturally ask the cause, they blushingly remark, "I burnt them broil? ing steak this morning." The result is that several young gentlemen have burned their fingers, believing the story. A Gentleman. We may have a correct conception of the character without being able to enter into an analysis of it. Courtesy and simplicity are its leading features. The most highly cultivated men are ever the least conceited, and we gen? erally find that the pedantic are men of small understanding. Chesterfield embodies its con? stituent elements in the term "politeness," which he defines as a benevolence in trifles, or a preference of others to ourselves in the ordi? nary occurrences of life. C4entleness, the foundation of the character, implies a reserved power, and is to be distinguished from weak? ness, as it is from passive taineness of spirit and an unreasonable compliance with the dic? tates or the will of others. It renounces no just right from the fear of their frown, and yields no important truth to their flattery. A prominent feature of the character is consid? er rateness, which may be said to consist of del? icacy in the use of power?physical, moral and sociai. Forbearance and wisdom in the exer? cise of this power?of that which the husband exercises over his wife, the father over his children, the teacher over his pupils, the old over the young, the strong over the weak, the master over his hands, the rich over the poor, the educated over the ignorant, the experienced over the confiding?mark the gentleman. Bash fulness is not inconsistent with the I character, and we are surprised that so rare a quality is not more appreciated. The thoughts ! and feelings of the retiring disposition are not less refined, although they may not be express? ed with the gracefulness of the ready speaker or the impetuosity of the rattle pate. This disposition frequently arises from the mind running in channels other than the common? places of ordinary conversation and a conse? quent consciousness of inferiority in the art of pleasing. The assumption of the character is often but a simulation of the more agreeable habits of society, and only the venger which hides depraved tastes and vicious pro? pensities. Nothing more displays a frivolous, selOsh and vulgar mind than inattention to the simple courtesies of life, and without this even profound learning is no more than tiresome pedantry. A person of this description says he can be a gentleman when he pleases. A true gentleman never pleases to do anything else, and never, by any accident, derogates from this standard. He cannot stoop to a mean thing. He never struts in borrowed plumage. He never stab3 in the dark. He is not one thing to a man's face and another be? hind his back. Tapers not meant for his eye arc sacred. Bolts and bars, locks and keys, bonds and eecurities, and notices to trespassers are not for him. He is a consistent observer of the second great commandment; whatever he judges to be honorable he practices toward all. Perhaps it was because of Thackeray's kecn sighteduess to detest and his readiness to ex? pose and pillory the snob that he could the more genially describe a gentleman. There are many passages in his writings which be? speak his appreciation of the character. The reader will remember his famous prospectus of the Pall Mall Gazette, which, being conducted by gentlemen, was to be addressed to gentle? men. "Perhaps," he says, "a gentleman is a rarer personage than some of us think for. Which of us can point out many such in his circle; men whose aims are generous, whose truth is constant, whose want of meanness makes them simple, who can look the world honestly in the face with an equal manly sym? pathy for the great and small ? We all" know a hundred whose coats are well made, and a score who have excellent manners, and one or two happy beings who are what they call, in the inner circles, and have shot into the very centre and buli's eye of fashion ; but of gen? tlemen how many? Let us take a little scrap of paper and each make out his list."?7'ins ley's Magazine. CONVINCING the Couivr.?In the good old times in Kentucky, when "substantial justice" was administered in a log-cabin after a free and-easy manner, a suit was brought to recover certain money, of which, it was alleged, plain? tiff had been defrauded by the ingenious ope? ration known as "thimble-rigging." In the course of the trial, plaintiffs counsel, who happened to be an expert, undertook to en? lighten the court as to the modus operandi of the performance. Putting himself into posi? tion, he produced the three cups and the "lit? tle joker," and proceeded, suiting the action to his word: "Then, may it please the court, the defend? ant, placing the cups on his knee thus, began shifting thern so, offering to bet that my client could not tell under which cup was the 'little jokor'?meaning thereby, may it please the court, this ball?with the intention of defraud? ing my clieut of the sum thus wagered. For instance, when I raise the cup so, your honor may suppose that you see the ball-" "Suppose I sec!" interrupted the judge, who had closely watched the performance, and was sure that he detected the ball, as one of the enps was accidentally raised. "Why, any fool can see where it is, and bet on it, and sure to win. There ain't no defraudin' tliar." "Perhaps your honor would like to go a V on it?" insisted the counsel. "Go a V? Yes, and double it, too; and here's the rhino. It's under the middle cup." "I'll go a V on that," said the foreman of the jury. "And I," and "and I," joined in tho jurors, one after the other, until each one had invested his pile. "Up!" said his honor. "Up" it was, but the 'little joker' had mys? teriously disappeared. Judge and jury were enlightened, and found no difliculty in bring? ing in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, on the ground that it was the 'darkest kind o' de? fraudin'.' " All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? A Galveston paper says that Texas will produce, this year, between 000,000 and GOO, 000 bales of cotton. ? It is now estimated that about S'G.000,000 worth of sugar was lost during the flood in Louisiana. ? A Massachusetts man has been in a suc? cessful business forty-nine years, and never advertised. The business consisted chiefly in lying about his neighbors. --"Where's that twelfth juror?" exclaimed an Idaho Judge, on the Court's resuming business after a recess, scowling as he spoke at the elev? en juror:.' in the box, one of whom rose and said: "Please, Judge, it's Ike Simmons as is gone. Ho had to go on private business, but he's left his verdict with me !" I ? The young man who came into this oflicc this morning, sat down on a box, and then bounced up with a yell and fled like one be-, witched, is requested to return four long brass tacks that were on the box when he took his scat. No questions will be asked?we under? stand it all; but wo want those tacks. ? The Supremo Court of Illinois has just I decided a case arising under tho statute winch ! makes a liquor dealer responsible in damages to the nearest relations of a drunkard to whom ! he sells liquor. The man in this instance j bought whiskey at a certain tavern, got com | pletely drunk, went out on a railroad and j stumbled and fell on the track, and was there I run over and killed by the cars. Tho prcsid j ing Judge in his charge said : "lie who dclib j crately sells that which ho knows will inflame i the passions, deprive the party of the control of his judgment, and render him for the time being incapable of exercising proper care for I his own personal safety, or for that of his prop j crty, must be prepared for the conscquencics that must follow." That is surely laying down broad doctrine, and if it wero "fully enforced j there would come a bad time for the saloon keepers. We imagine it will be impossible j even in Illinois, to get juries as obedient as the J one in the aboie case, as the verdict was one ! of two thousand dollars damages.

" A" corrupt tree," snith the Inspired Vol J\_ umo, "bringeth forth not good fruit." nor can corrupt blood impart health, beauty and good flesh or spirits. "Tho Blood is the Life," and health ccn only be enjoyed in its full perfection where the blood is kept in a puro and uncorruptcd state, hence tho necessity of pure blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant spirits, long life and happiness. AN IMPURE CONDITION of the BLOOD, manifests itself in different forms of diseases, such as Tetter. Salt Rheum, Scald-Head, Ring Worms, Pimples, Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eves, Rough Skin, Scurf, Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, Fever Soros, White Swellings, Tumors, Old Sores or Swellings, Syphilitic Affections of the Skin, Throat and Bones, Ulcers of tho Liver, Stomach, Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus. In this condition of things something is needed at once to cleanse the blood, and neutral? ize the insidious poison that BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE, As it courses through ttic veins, sowing seeds Of death with every pu last ion. Dr. Pemberton*s*Compound Extract of Stil lingia, (or Queen's Delight) will positively effect this desideratum, expelling every trace of disease from the blood and system, and leaving the skin SOFT, FAIR and BEAUTIFUL. For all diseases of the BLOOD, LIVER and KIDNEYS, this Great Vegetable Alterative is without a rival. It will cure any Chronic or Long Standing Disease whoso real or direot cause is Bad Blood. Rheumatism, Pains in Limbs or Bones, Constitutions Broken Dottr by Mercurial or other poisons, are all cured by it". For Syphilis, or Syphilictic Taint, there is nothing equal to it. A trial will prove iL It is a most useful Spring and Fall Purifier of the Blood. Its safety and innocence have boen fully tested, so that it may be administered to the 'most tender infant. $Sf Beware of coun? terfeits and substitutes.
