Self Respect. One's reputation is graduated hy his self-roepect. In the scafe of morals, if one rate# himsf lf with vugn'iondr ami thieves, he will he like, ly to merit their reputation. If he considers himself honest, and wishes to he known for honesty, he will probably acquire that character, and so be reputed honest It Is a bad sign when one says, " No matter what I say, no ono cares for me. Nobody notices me; no inatttcr how I look or what I do.''

Even now, hie influence is weight}*; hut it dreg# down character* of those about him as surely as it lessens hi# own worth. The fiirmer and the mechanic say, " This is good enough for u*; we are mere plodders ; society makes no account of us." Why should society account to those who will not account for themselves! So they who are of the first importance in the world, take low grade, from their low estimate of themselves. Think, no matter for us they plod on?with defective education, rude spirits, and course manners, society str ides ahead. If one will not learn his value, and promote hi# own interest, who will? Society ? Nay. Act for yourself, upright and vigorously ! and wh"n society sees you thus moving, it wilt respeet yon. Ay, it will he proud to show you at Win lull.

Begin now, mechanic. Think, with this article before yon, deliberate, plan, decide. How enn you respect yourself? How can you show that by word and act yon reaped yourself ? liow ia.-s you become strong in body, vigorous in mind, and influential in character? Think. The answer will do yon no good, ntilesa j on work it out for yourself. Begin now ; never leave the problem until it is solved.

Two Viitws or tiir Case.?.fudge C U. S. Senator from Vermont, related to us a good anecdote the other da)', illustrative of Abolitionism. Tint morning lie was leaving home to enter npon his duties in the eity a straight faced deacon, who looked upon the whole South ns a great pandemonium, called for hirn, and said: " Now, Judge, I want you to do all in your power to abolish slavery !" "Well," soid the Judge, "how shall I proceed r "Oh, I don't know ; hut you must altoiisli it. It is a damnable curse, and must be atmKshedVou know more about law than I do. The church "is my stronghold, but you understand national matters. Judge, and can devise some plan, and I know it." "The only way I see to abolish It," said the Judge, "is to buy all the slaves and set them free." " Well, go in for that; have a law pasaed that the North shall buy them, and then this trouble will end. Yw, go in strong for thnt, Judge."* " Just us you say, deacon. I will agree to it in a moment, and will stand my sh-tre of the expense. Here is Woodstock, with .three hundred inhuhilants, and this town would he called on for nhout six hundred thousund dollars?and I will urge it before the Senate." The good deacon opened his month, then his eyes, allowed his tongue to escape from one cor ner of itis face, scrntched his head and tapped impatiently on the floor with his feet. As the Judge was leaving the room, the deacon's power of speech came to him, and he called out: MOh, say. Judge?I guess you'd belter let slavery alone; the poor hlnce devils are better off South than up here in this cold climate !" There are several just such deacons in the country.? Wathiugton Staff*. All thnt a wife really craves in this world is love?-the love of her husband and children. Now. the word Love means respect, attention. pretty compliment*, tenderness, fondling, companionship?and eight women out ot ten will he supremely happy?even in poverty?if their linebands treat them with lovitfg kindness. Mnke a companion, confidant, friend of your wife?and she will he happy even with the hunger pnin gnawing at her atomneh. Without love, woman is usually miserable, even when surrounded with pomp and eircnrustancc. Any hushaud enn make his wife love him if he chooses. but he must he devoted, tender, gallant, and should not spare those little terms of endearment which are so easily spoken. A half-dozen well delivered kisses will leave a sensible woman in heaven for a whole day. Show us the man who will deny his w ife this felicity, and we will show you a man who is indifferent about his own happiness. [ Selma Reporter. i i aw e Save You* Maxvhk.?It rouses oor agricultural indignation to sec a farmer throwing away , all the manure about his lot and stable.

Maxy of ns?too many of n??are apt to attribute a bad motive to a go?? action ; but few of us, when a poor devil baa been guilty of a had netion, ever think of attributing a good motive to it, I o Sioxatukk or tin Cross.?The murk which per? ioim who are nnalde to write are required to make instead of their signature is In the form of a cross, and this practice, having formerly been followed by king* and nobles, la constantly referred to as an instance of the deplorable ignorance of nnciont t imes. This signature Is not, however, invariable proof of sucli ignorance : anciently, the use of this mark was not confined to illiterate pertons ; for amongst the Saxons the mark of the cross, ns an attestation of the good faith of the person signing, was required to be attached to the signature of those who could write, ns well as to stand in the place of the signature of those who could not write. In those times, if a man could write, or even read, his kuowlcdge war considered proof presumptive that he was in holy orders. The word ciericH? or clerk was synonimoun with penman ; and the laity, or people who were not. clerks, did-not feel any urgent neces-i'y for the use of letters. The ancient use of the cross was therefore universal, alike hy those who could and tho?e who could not write; it was, indeed, the symbol of nn oath from its holy associations, and generally the mark. On this account, Mr. Charles Knight, in his notes to the Pictorial ?3uim?-i?|>vnr??, explains me eijiresfion 01 "" uon save tlie mark," a* n form of ejaculation approaching to the character of an onth. This phrase occurs three or more times in the plays of Shakespear; but hitherto, it has been left by the commentators in its original obscurity.

One is when the house is finished, yet. before it is oc copied ; the other, when it has received many tenants, ntul has returned to solitude nnd silence. In the former instance, the mind is ready at picturing the future of the house?what varieties of future will be realized there, what, human passion evoked?some good, some bad. Children have to he horn therq, lovers to meet, and many old people to die, nnd so on, until tlio head aches under the weight of the probable to eome of the p!.?ec. In the second instance, all those matters ara of the past, and flit through the apt brain of the man eontempluting out of doors. To him, the beyond is more suggestive than the future has proved to the previous watcher. One has beeu content with the actual and the ordinary; our present watcher looking up to the dwelling of one or more lapsed families, imagines n murder, perhaps; and (it is not improbable),a ghost, in connection with the wasting pile. The " Wr" or Fpitoua.?It is a prevailing idea among some people that bresow Editors in referring to themselves, use tlie word " we," they consider they amount to two or three ordinary men. This is a mi-take. Editors nre nntnrally, very modest and unassuming class; indeed re ntnrkaldy so. The word " we " merely includes the editor and Vbe "devil." The custom originated with Faust, the founder of the distinguished profession. Tlie superstitions people of the day supposed him to he leagued with the devil. Faust, to encourage the idea, which rendered him a person of so much importance, and command such a high respect, was accustomed to indite himself in his " lenders" and " grocery pit (Is," | as " we," which includes himself and highly distinguished assistant, the Prince of Darkness.
