Sept 25,1884 ll Jy IDOLS OF THE SOUTH. i Au Interesting Skctcii of two Greet <?on ernla. Tho difference iu the manner io which ; Generala R. E. Lee nnd T. J. Jackson were regarded in thc Confederate anny ; of Northern Virginia, nays tho National ; Republican, is one of the curious features ; of tho war. Holli (.louerais were rccog ? nixed as men of genius, of piety, niul of ! kindliness of heart ; both were courteous I and dignified in their intercourse with j others, although Jackson was very ; abrupt and euri in speech and action, and i yet they were looked upon ami treated by \ tho troops in a direct contrary manner, j For Genera) Lee the men had au implicit ? trust and reverent affection that never j faltered from the time he took command i of the army until they crowded around I bim in tearful silence to hid him a last I farewell on the hill near appomatox Court House, where tho battle Hags were I uulurlcd for thc last time before being i piled upon the surrendered stacks of arms. To tell the truth, he was defied in the thoughts of tho troops, and they never doubted tho issue ol* a campaigu under his leadership, not oven in the beginning of the campaign of 1S05, when defeat wits pressing on all other sections of the Con federacy, and had not "the bottom of Hie bucket so suddenly tallon out" it is more than likely that a dictatorship would have been thru-t upon bim asa last resort to beat back the overwhelming numbers of thc Federals. General Lee was n fine figure when mounted on his iron-gray h orso j Traveler, and even when on A hot and dusty march bulked always neat. His dre's then was n simple gray sack coat, with the star of a General on thc turndown collar, a dark slouch hat looped up on the left side, gray pants and long riding boots. I never saw him with either sword or pistol buckled on him. Af? he rode along beside the marching ranks, at tho head of his staff, he always had his hat pulled down over his brow, with his chin lifted as if gazing intently into the distance. He was always considerate for the health and comfort of his men. One of tho most provoking things to a regiment of infantry on a hot, dusty, and wearisome march was for some mounted officer or mau to come dashing along kicking up more dust, or attempting to make way ulong the road, which the infantry always claimed as their right of way. Some Generals and (heir stall' indulged in this practice, but General Lee. never. He always took to the fields. Agaiti, it was currently reported and believed that when the army was in straits for rations ho utterly refused to muke use of tho delica cies which tho farmer? were cager to send to bis headquarters, but ordered them to he turned over to thc field hos pital. When occasion offered he visited tho sick and wounded, aud many a poor fellow was revived by bis cheering words uud sympathy. All these things, aud others that might be enumerated, endeared him to his troops. On thc march the General's pi vsence among the columns was scarcely noticed, except that thc tired limbs were braced up and the spirits raised fo further cflbrl ; but wheu he passed along the roads leading among the bivouacs and camps, the men invariably crowded to the roadside and greeted him with a reverent silence that was more elo quent, perhaps, than the wildest cheering. He no doubt was pleased and encouraged at this sileut homage, yet he always re sponded by gravely lifting Ii?H hat with out a change of countenance. The writer never recollects to have seen (Jen. Leo's face otherwise than serious and pre-oceu pied. Two examples may be given to show the estimation in which General Lee was held and to illustrate the belie! that tho success of the cause was absolutely dependent on him. At the battle of Antietam, late in tho afternoon, General Huriisidc forced a passage of thc bridge aud assailed fiercely to the thin Confed erate line on the ridge. This was before A. P. Hill's divinion bail come up from Harper's Ferry. Finally, the Holcombe legion nf South Carolinians, after light ing bravely, gave way in confusion, leav ing a dangerous gap in the lines, and the day seemed about lost on the right. At this critical juncture General Lee rode up to them, and, seizing the ting, shouted; "What ! my men, are you going to defer? your country in its hour qt peril ? Conic on ; your General will lead you !" Thc legion rallied immediately aie! reformer] the line, but refused to charge until Gem cral Lee bad retired. Ho consented, am they gamely plunged into the fight am held their own until A. I*. Hill came np Again, ai Spotteyivania Court House when Hancock s men had swept over lin salient, capturing thc entire division um guns of General Edward Johnson, am threatening to bieak the Confederad army in iwo, and when thu battleseemec lost to the Confederates, General Lee who never hesitated to exposa himself a tho point of danger, dashed up to Gen eral J. H. Gordon's dividion and an nouma d his intention lo lead them per sonally to the re-cue. When ho placei himself in front instantly criesnroso fron thc ranks; "Leo to tho rear I" "Lee I the rear !" General Gordon seized th bridle rein of General Lee, and assurini bim that the division would not budge i be did not retire, Lee reluctantly rod back, whereupon the division swept foi ward in gallant style mid re establishe tho broken lines. I venture to assert that no such regar would havo been shown for the safety c any other Confederate commande, whether Johnson or Beauregard, or eve Jackson himself. If Ibis deep veneratio was not inspired by elevation of eintrat ter and by what is indefuiiloly style ."personal magnetism," then I am ut loss to account for thc fact in the case. And now as to General Jackton. B< fore tho war he had been a plodding prc feasor at the Virginia Military Iustituti and bad been noted for nothing exce| closo attention to bis professional dutie a strict observance of bis religious tenet and a general diffidence and n wk wan ness of manner that amounted to cocci i: ?city, and which made him at times tl butt of the lively cadets. Tho ?lrtn H tan of his brigade at Maoaasos brought bil respect in the army, and gave to bim tl historic soubriquet "Stonewall." Tl campaigu in the valley recalled the ta tics of Bonaparte in the Italian quadr lateral, and Jackson lost nothing by tl comparison. From that time onward 1 was the idol of the. army. For faculty < combination, for power of concentr?t io for rapidity of calculation, for fiercenc of execution, General Jackson in his va ley campaign had -shown himself to I head and shoulders above any suborn1 nate commander of the Confedera armies, East or West. His name' was ; every mouth, ?nd nothing bot praia went with it. The osases of his countr men engaged in battling for a cause th? deemed to bo sacred found something the character of the man that suited the temperament' in their tim? of labor, ui this wis apart from the services he hi recently, rendered. It was his retirii modesty, bis. utter carvle*8pcss of pon and show, and bis simple trust in Go and if overs man believed io the rig): cousness of his cause, and that the Giv of victories smiled upon it, that man w Thomas Jonathan Jackson. It may 1 <aid hore thal up t? this period Jackson ivas never understood. When he made tho celebrated forced march to Romney, Virginia, in the winter of 186? Micro waa A howl all along the line fur h romoval is a fanatical incompetent, but Cinvcrnor Leleher knew hi? man, and refused to rovoko his commission. Again, before the war, in I860 he had gathered together mino f>00 negro children and taught them in Sunday school in Lexington, Virginia, and this raised a terrible storm throughout the Stute. Hui he kept tho sven tenor of his way undisturbed. Ho tvns as linn as adamant where ho thought Ids duty was concerned. lt was only during tho seven days' fight that the main body of tho army carno to recognize Jackson in person. His photographs do not give an adequate idea of tho man. They do not mark him ipart as a leader of men, and show that inherent fitness for high participation in the events of that epoch which tho chancea of war had brought to light. Says one of his men : '"lt would have been easy to have mistaken him for tho Jourier of one of bis brigadiers, for all External (okena to the contrary; his ti ogle-breasted coat of rusty gray, sun icorchcd about the shoulders, until il was iilmost yellow, and his plain cadet cap, it the mme hue. tilled forward until the rasor rested almost upon his nose, were moaner in appearance than the make up if many a smart fellow whoso musket ?VOS tho badge of his station, and not a juartermaster in the corps but would nive considered Jackson's gaunt old sor rel a bad swap for his own nag. Hut thc jright and piercing look of his steel blue ?ves, when one could get a glimpse at them under thc cap brim, tho firm set of lis lips, and the impatient jerking of his inns from timo to tune told of the eager corking of tho energetic soul within." And tho description ia a truo ono to the otter. After tho seven dnya' battle, whenever .hero was great cheering on any part of the line, it used to b? said by tho listen ers : "lt's either Jackson or a rabbit." Sow the meaning of this was (hat when .vera rabbit was started in the bivouac if a brigade the entire complement of ifliccr? and men would (urn out lo pursue Minny, and, by heading him off hero and turning him there, poor bunny, who in he er?ti would become bewildered by the liahoiical yells and cheers which met dui at every turn, was generally captured. N'ow (?eneral Jackson shunned, if he sould, the demonstrations which greeted lim whenever lie passed a camp of Ina )wn corp* or ol Longstreet's. Tho men would gather on thu roadside waving heir batH and yelling like demons, the relis being taken up from camp to camp, ia "Old Jack" went skurrying along on lis old sorrel as fast as he could lay feel to the ground. There was a Bpice of mis ?hievousness in this, fur soldiers aro like icliool boys, and they knew how badly lockson hated notoriety, but their adnu ation and enthusiasm tor him were such hat they would have charged tho very ?ates ol hades at his bidding. Never vero more genuinely sorrowful tears Rhed han those thal fell from the eyes of bia iriny on Jacki-on'a bier. I recollect that just before th? battle if Fredericksburg (Burnside's) General I. E. H. Stuart presented Jackson with a iran new uniform, covered with gold rico and stars, and as gaudy as a pea sock's train. Jackson had never worn t, bul on the morning of the grand issault Stuart had persuaded him to put t on. Accompanied hy Stuart and some if his stall'he rode slowly in front of the Confederate lines from right to ?eft but io waa not recognized until lie reached L'ickett's division, then placed in tho le.ntrc of the line, '-'tuart mischievously jointed out the gorgeous looking iodivid lal to some nflicer of tho division, and it -au down the line like wildfire, "Old lack's got a new uniform !" Instantly .he men leaped upon the breastworks, rolling wildly and swinging their tats, until Jackson could bear il no long jcr, but, turning a reproachful look upon stuart, he clapped spurs to old H..-rel and galloped oil' lo his own command, sullies it to say, he pulled his new duds ill' ?is soon ns he hud au opportunity. Mow, who can explain the philosophy >f it? Neither Johiistou, nor Beaure gard, nor Longstreet, nor Hill, nor (Curly, nor even Job t'tuart were ever looked upon by tho army in tho ?arno light as Lee and Jackson. And yet all hese ollleers were worthy of enthusias tic admiration and unflinching Hiipport. tl is one of the meterles that make us Klieve that actions and events aro largely beyond the ken of the pure reas .ming .'acuities. Ventilation. If two persons ?rc to occupy a sleeping room together for a night, let them he weighed upon retiring, and then again in the morning, and they will Mud that the actual weight is nt least ono pound less in ihe morning. Frequently lhere tv ill be a loss of two or more pounds, md tho average loss throughout thc year ivill bo more than a pound. That is, .luring tho night there ii . a loss of a pound of matter which bas gone off from tho body, parity through tho lungs ?r.d partly through the purea in thc skin. The e.-caped material is carbonic acid jas and decayed animnl matter, or pois tmous exhalations. This ia di?Tused through the air in par?, and in part ah lorbed by the bed clothes. If a single muco of wood or cotton bo burned in a room, it will so completely sat?ralo the ?ir with smoko that ona can hardly breathe, though lhere can I .? but an tm nco of foreign maller in the air. If tn ounce of colton be burned every half iiour during thc night, tho air will be :onlinuouBly saturated with smoke un less there is an outlet for it. Now tho dxteen ounces of smoke thus formed are far less dangerous or poisonous than the dxteen ounces of exhalations from" the lunga and bodies of two persons who riave lost a pound in weight during the ???gilt hours of sleeping, for while the iry smoke is mainly tuken into the lunga, tho damp odors from the body aro ab sorbed both into the lungs and into the pores of the entire body. Nothing stronger can be said to prove tbe necessity for ventilation in bed room", nnd of thoroughly airing the iheeta, coverlets and mnttrefse* Hi tho norning before putting them into the form of a neatly made bed. Children nore than any others sufTsr from bad air. The restless tossing and muttering, the listurbcd sleep, all give strongest eviden ts of the effect of bad air. This is "ui t tier confirmed by the dull eye, ?tupid jxpression, languid movements, and un refreshed reeling which are visible in tho norning. Every house uhould be well rentilated, the body sufficiently covered vi th warm, loose, suitable clothing, and JO s ii re tho bicep will, be sound and rc "rcshing and will bo manifested in tho . right eye and vigorous growth and iction.

Hut let mo now urge this duty upon you who are yet spared. Prepare to meet your God. Consider, first, tho v.orth of your souls. Tho soul is tho immortal spirit that will not die, but will bo happy in beavou, or miserable in hell for ever. Tho soul is worth moro than nil tho gold and ?.??vcr in the world ; it is worth nutre than nil tho honors and pleasures of tho world. "What shall it profit a mau if he gain the whole world and lose his soul, or what shall a man give in exchange foi his soul." The redemption of tho soul is precious ; il cannot bo redeemed with corruptible things ns silver mid gold. The world would not redeem one soul. Now you all have souls, and ?heir salva tion is tho most important subject that can cngngo your intention. You may think il important for you to have food, and raiment, and riches, and friends. Religion is worth moro than all those. If you are truo Christians, your soul? will ho saved in heaven and be happy for over. Consider, secondly, your losl and ruin ed stale hy natur?. You aro beloved by your parents and friends, and perhaps you are very orderly in your live?, but you arc sinners by nature, and hy prac tice, you have deceitful hearts, darkened understandings, and perverso wills. O, you aro dead in trespasses and in sins, unless you havo been quickened by tho Spirit of God ; and if you remain in this unconverted state, your souls will perish for ever. All imp?nitent persons are tinder sentence of death-eternal death. Thc mere mercy of Qed keeps them out of hell. They aro haugiug over tho bottomless pit, suspended by tho brittle thread of life, mid if that wns cut they would inevitably fall into the burning lake. Consider, thirdly, tho glorious prom ises iu tho gospel for thu salvation of sinners. Jesus Christ has died on thc cross, and his blood cnn cleanse from all sin ; he is able to save to the uttermost all that come to (?od hy him. He invites pour sinners to conic io him and receive freely thc pnrdou of sin and a title to eternal life. His invitations are gracious and abundant. "Como unto mo all yo that labor and ure heavy ladened and I will givo you reit." "Ho, every otic that thirtieth, comu yo lo llio waters, and ho that hath no money, como ye, buy and eat. Yen, como buy wino and milk without money, and without price ; ihe Spirit and the bride say como, and let hun that hearcth say como, and lot him thtit*?8 athirst como, and whosoever will, let him como." Consider, fourthly, that your season of mercy will terminate with this fleeting lilo. The Spirit may leave sumo before they hnve completed their journey hero, but we are mire ho will not strive any moro when death comes. There IA no repenleuce in the grave, no pardons offered lo ibo death When tho ni; lit of deatli conics, mun can no longer work. Tho gate, of mercy will thon bo closed and the offers ol pardon no longer made. Then "ho that is filthy shall bo filthy still; and ho that is holy shall bo'holy still." Thc ?ternel stnte will bo fixed, ami the. condition unalterable forever. Consider, fifthly, the shortness of time. Look upon ihe new-made graves of your youthful companions and bo convinced that (he time it short ; your race will bn run r.nd your journey elided j your eyes will soon cease to look on the sun and on tho fields; your limbs will soon stiffen in death and your bodies crumble to dust. What is your life? lt is evcu a vapor that appcarelh for a little limo and then vnnlshcth away. How short your limo is; your lifo is wind, a moment's breath ing. While you bewail one departed friend another sickens and dies. "AU flesh is grass, mid tho goodliiiess thereof is ns the flower of grass ; tho grass with ered! and the flower fadeth. "Man dielh and wastcth away ; yen, man giveth up tho ghost, and where is be?" Your life is n day, a short day, and your sun may set even while you think tho morn of lifo continues. All do not live the allotted tenn ot three score years and ten. Many die in the morning, while their chcckB are blooming and their eyes arc sparkling. "Thc flower' is oftou plucked ere fully blown." Death appears lo love the young, and especially in your viciuity he seems to lurk by the path of those who are expecting many days ; bo rushes forth unexpectedly upon his urey and bears them to the dark grave, How many months will roll round before anolber one from your ranks shall follow those who have -gone before? Your shroud may be woven and the timber ready for your collin ; the mattock and the spade that shall bo u?cd to dig your S;rave may now bo purchased and ready br use. - Your life is a span, and your age as nothing before God. Your b?dico aro brittle clay-they are fading flesh that may be crushed before-the moth A few more suns may riso and set, a few more, flowers may bloom and fade, an then the night of death may come over you and your blooming cheeks grow palo and ghastly. "The time is short, tho season near, When dca? h will us remove, To loave our friends, ho wo vor dear, Abd all wo foud ly torvo/" ' Consider, sixthly, the swiftness. of time. How swift a weaver's shuttle, an eagle, a ship, a wind- that pa- seth un ny and cometh not again. v Time Uic.*t, he does not creep along slowly dir move tardily, but like a vessel ander full sail ho bears bis passengers on to the destin ed port. - / Like an eagle tbs?, with strong tl ni o ns, cub) the ?ir and darts forward in 1? course ; like an arrow sent forth from a-bow and hastens to its mark." 80 time flying with electric ?peed. Ho ia harrying mortals to thc toub with in credible'swiftness.' While wo weep tho death of oar friends, we aro forced to tara and shed our team over another. Oh how rapidly you move in a direct lino for your narrow dwelling place in the grave. The chariot of time, with , bis noiseless ?leeds, is rushing yon forward to the land of alienee and to tho regions of tho dead. The grave is near the era tile. See how swift tho moments pass I between arid whisper as they fly : Un ? thinking youth, remember tbi?, though j fund of sublunary bliss, that you must gasp and ?lie. Consider, seventhly, what 1? your duty. O my young friends, your souls aro pre cious ? they are of infinite value; they are all covered with sin and likely to drop into ruin. Hut Christ has died, and merry comes down to mon ; pardon and eternal life are offered to guilty sinners, 1 Tho Saviour calls you and ssys : "Turn ye, turn yo, for why will yo die?" Tb J Spirit strives with you, and entreats y.-u lo accept of pardon. You have souls to save or lose. "Work while the day Inst?, for tho night cometh when none cnn work." While this short life may last, your day of grace may last. Hut when death comes, thc door of hope will close ; no moro Sabbaths will dawn upon you; no moro offers of pardon bo tendered to you. If you aro lost,'you will bo lost for over. Lifo is short ! Timo is swill ! Death /.? nctir .' O yo dying eons of men, what is your duty ? Is it to sloop on in carnal security? Is it to sit still perfectly un concerned? I? it to remain cnrelcRB while death is cutting down your friends, and to sport while tho grim tyrant diukes his spear over your hoad ? Is it to laugh on tho verge of tho grave, saying to morrow, to-morrow. Awake! await i ! and "lice fruin thc wrath to como." "Escape for your life: tnrry not in tho plain, look not behind." You are called by the Saviour, entreated by tho minis ter*, and warneti bu the dead. The Saviour says. "Look unto mc and be Huvcd." "Behold, nour is tho accepted time ; behold, now is tho day ofsalvation/' Tho messengers of the cross proy you in Uh rivi's stead to bo reconciled to God. "To day if you will hear His voico, har den not your hearts." A voico comos to you from the grave nf your young associ ates, which cays, "Be ye also teiidy, for in such an hour as vc think not tho Son of mau cometh." l'reparo to moot your (Jod. Do what you have to do quickly. DoaHi, ut an unexpected moment, will stop your breath and send your souls Into the eternal world. O repent and seek Cod while you muy improve your day of grace. Lay up your treasure ip heaven, save your souls if you should have to lose everything else. Live for Cod and for glory, thou you eau die in peace and reign lu heaven. Now, my dear young friends, you know your duty. Will you do ir, or will you neglect it ? Will you say tb the Saviour, "Depart from us, for wo desire not tho knowledge of thy ways ;" and to the minister, "Co thy way for this time, mid when 1 have a convenient season, I will call for thee." And more than nil, will you look on dying friends and mako no preparation for death? If tears would move you, I have shed them for you ; if prayers would savo you, I havo offered thom in your ' ?hnlf: if heaven will allure you, look up and try to gain it ; if boll eau alarm you, behold its torments and try lo BIIUII it; if death cun make you serious, look at its approach and prepare to meet it. Delay is dangerous. "Momentsseize I Heaven ison tho wing, and moments you may wish when worlds want wealth lo buy." U that you were wise, that you would consider your latter end 1 O that you only know in this, tho merciful day of year Visitation; the things that belong to your peace, before they are hid forever from your eyes. Slay Cod, by "bis Holy Spirit, draw you to tho Saviour and convert you to himself ; may ho sanctify you, nun final ly savo you in his kingdom, for the Re dee mer's sake. Amen. JOHN McLKES. Greenwood, Abbeville Dii/ricf, ?S'. C. June 6th, 1850. New York Virtually Given Up. NEW YORK, October 20.- l'ho Blaine plan for tho remainder of tho campaigu has been fully developed hero during the oust forty-eight hours. Many leading Republicans have been hero in consulta tion. Among these was Pension Com missioner Dudley, who managed tho late campaign for Blaine in Ohio. Now York is .substantially given up us about certaiu to go to Cleveland. Il is recognized that it is up-hill work to carry this State. Little money will, therefore, bo spent hero. The Republicans will make a noisy and demonstrative campaign in New York, and the Blaine caravan will go about, but this will bo done to divert theattention of the Democratic managers. While all this noise is being mndo kean Republican managers will bo Dudleyiz itig Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut. By these methods tho Republicans ex pect to get Indiana certain, and New Jersey if desperate means will accomplish the i .suit. This would elect Blaine, provided he carried the hitherto Repub lican States, even though Now York go against bim. Tho Democrats aro basing some bone on Wisconsin, but it is not a good reliance- unless there should be a Cleveland cyclone. Should Blaine get tho naturally Republican States ('love land will havel to get New York and Indiana, or New York, New Jersey anil Connecticut to bo elected. Ho could, nol spare Indiana, aud Connecticut nor Indi ana and Now Jersey. This is' now tho Democratic danger. It may be discovered when it is too late. Dudloy goss at once to Indiana, where United States marshals au .1 Government officials will bo employed ss in Ohio,, tc debauch the State. TliO New Jersey campaign will be*managed from this city. Money will be poured into both-'States while all over New York o .?easel?si racket will bo main tai ned.

UY BET. ?, JJ. srUIlOKON. 'A'fi "! ..! ? HT " . * .'. *fHT By keeping our eyes open, and judging tilings upon 8crlptura1 principles, we may often bo forewarned In our dealings with certain characters. Ono man can not sec farther inton miliptouethau anoth er, and yet shrewdness ueeB where the ordinary observer is in the dark. A orndent man, with tho fear of God before Iiis eye*, is almost a prophet. Two or three instances are before our mind at this moment. A gentleman werit carefully into bi* stable where his horse was placed to bait, and he Paw for himsolf that tho proper food of corn was in tho manger. lu a few minutes! time ho was in the stable again, and thc corn was gone. He taxed thc holster willi taking it out, and re mained while he saw bis nag eat up his fair portion. How did bo know that tho holster would steal thu corn? Ho had heard him cursing and thcreforo ho knew that ito would steal. A friend met tho deacon of a church in thc streets, u man whom he much esteemed. The aforesaid dencon begged the loan of $10?, ano thc friend would have lent it to him with pleasure; "but you know mo ns au old pilgrim. 1 am, I trust, quito beyond temptation." Tho money was refused, tor the friend said to himself, "Past temptation? Past temptation? Why, he must be quite ignorant of his own heart. He must surely bo n hypo crite." And BO bo was. Ho knew that ho was hopelessly involved even when he was seeking a loan from ono who could not atrord to lose (he money ; before tho day wits over ho had failed. "Pride goeth beforo destruction?','? "A prating lool shall fail." His Bible had mudo our friend wise, and ho was saved from loss. A man who stood high in tho city ob served, with great satisfaction, that he had in a singlo morning cleared $30,000 by speculation. A brother merchant re marked that ho ought to bo very grateful to Providence fur suob good fortuno, whereupon the ; .successful . int reliant snappe'd his fingers and said. "Provi dence 1 pooh I that for Providence! I cnn do a deal better for myself, than Provideuco can ever do fer me." He who honrd tho observation walked away and resolved nover to deal with such a man nguiu except upon cash principles, for bo felt ?. ure that n crash would come sooner or later. Great was tho indigna tion nf the man who stood high in tho city when he was told, "Jf you and I are to havo dealings it must be on strictly ready money terms." Ho was insulted ; he would not. endure it ; ho .would go to nnothor house. That other houso wel comed his custom, and in duo time it was repaid by losing roany thousands. A tradesman cho-o a Bhopman from seeing him pick up a pin ; Rowland Hill would hutton up his cost when he heard a mun swear, for he did not want to havo his pocket picked; thus for good or for evil little things may be tests of charac ter. To deal with persons who haye no respect for tho Sabbath is always risky : to marry a man who can repeat a lowed story is eui i licitly perilous; to buy goods of tradesmen who aro "really giving them away" is to invito deception; und to trust those who Hatter you is to court delusion. Do you meet with one who tells you many of tho secret faults of others? Mind that you thow him none of your own which you would not wish to publish. Docs he tell you of what others havesnid of vou ? Then soy noth ing of others which you would not wish him to report : for ns sure os you live ho will report all that you say, with audi tions, "All dugs that fetch will cai ry. l'y observing such things as these mon may bc saved from deceptions. The dif ference between ono man and another, in point vif prudence, mainly arises from tho fact that ono mah leards from his blunders nud another does not. When wo are once taken by a person, we ought to lake his measure* so exactly, that ho will not bc able to do itngain. Noutouso can bo excused if it is caught twico by the sumo cat.
