FJHTOR: Some one has remarked that the mous tache is "t (her meful nor ornamental." The latter I will admit, but the former as sertion I must deny. Everything in the world has its uses and I have recently discovered that the moustache has its uses too. And now, without entering into a long disquisition on the subject, let me briefly state, separately, its many good qualifica tions. F!r*t, then, it is an excellent filter. Every one knows the utility of straw in separating the cider from the puiuuiace. Just so with the moustache, suppose you arise fiomyour bed in the dark to take a drink of water. You grope your way to the table or stand, take up the pitcher or tin, draw your mous tache down over the lips, and suck the wa- strainer, keeping out all flics, spiders, or ked-lMff*, that may be therein. After you are done drinking, you brush off the "rep tiles" and go back to bed, Secondly, it is a good thatch , and will tttrtl the rain as effectually as the thatch on a barn, and more durable too, for hnir will greatly outlast straw. Thirdly, it is profitable when drinking buttermilk. Fresh buttermilk always abounds with more or less butter. The moustache will catch the crumbs, which may be gathered, made into rolls and sold to the epicurean public as butter of " extra flavor thus combining economy and profit. Fourthly, it isa protective, not only against the cold blasts of winter, by condensing the snow and ice, and thus hermetically scaling the mouth against the cold, but also as a ishield or cushion at any time, should you be so unfortunate as to receive a blow which might otherwise knock yonr teeth down your throat. In the former case an advantage might accrue, also, in collecting the ice, fill ing your ice house, and thus save the troub le and expense of hauling it on sleds. Fifthly, it might be used for dipping rein dict in a manner I would suggest thus: Have your tallow in a convenient vessel, dip in your mustache, when the requisite number of dips have been made, you will have an amount of candles proportionate to density of moustache, each hair constituting a wick. Sixthly, it is useful in kitting the girls. Now it is to be presumed that all girls ex pect to be kissed, but all are not equally agreeable If you are in the act of kissing a pretty lass, pull your moustache right and left and "sip the nectar" in its purity, on the other hand, if you are going to salute a homely one, or a pungent old maid, stroke it right down square over your mouth, and give the snap underneath. Seventhly, it is a benefit to the poor , which the washerwoman knows, for it catches bar rels of tobacco juice and other filth, which requires to be washed from pocket hand kerchiefs which otherwise would not be soiled. Eightly, it. serves t okill time. Tht; aduge says that an "idle man's brain is the devil's workshop." A man need never be out of employment, he may spend his time twirling bis mous tache, and thus while away many an hour which would otherwise drag heavily on his hands or be employed in something less commendable. In addition, by such cultivation he may render himself an ainnsing paradox to solve, whether he is catfish or a terrier dog. The non-mustachioed community will appreciate this. Ninthly, and lastly, it might be useful in the arts and manufacture*. When trimmed off, it would makeexeellent stuffing for sofas, pads, and mattresses, also, set in finger rings, lockets, breast-pins,&c. Any surplus might also be converted into i timet* hair pencils, but would, perhaps, be rather too stiff These are a few of the reasons, many oth ers might be given, why we should exclaim ; of moustache —-"wto in perpetual" and en- ] deavor to redeem it from the many asper sions which have been cast ujton it. In a future article I may, Mr. Editor, take up that other appendage to the ' human face divine" the "yoat-trf.' and treat it with the merit it, also, deserves. Until then, adieu! VrsmcATOß. A LOCAL AND OKNERAE NEWSPAPER, DEVQTEP TO POLITICS, EDUCATION. I.ITERATERE AND Moll.U.S. COURAGE. One of the lira vest and (best Generals that Europe ever produced said that he could never snuff a candle with his finders without suffering from the fear of being burned. He was not afraid on the battle field, but |e was afraid of scorching his fingers. We once knew a man who never saw a thunder cloud without trembling lest he should be struck by lightning, and yet when he came to the endof life he had no fear of death, but wel comed itas he would rest from a tiresome journey. We have seen a man who would faint at the sight of blood, as cheerful in view of immediate dissolution as though he had been mvited to a party and was hasten ing to go. Again we have seen man who had braved dangers upon the land and seas, who was absolutely afraid of being alone in the dark. He had no fear of any thing he conld see, but a mortal dread of the unseen. In the loss of the Sultana steamer on the Mississippi, by which 1,500 persons came to their end, among those saved was a lady, Mrs. Pery, who, putting on a life preserver, hastened to jump into the river, where she soon found herself with half a dozen soldiers clinging to a door, drifting down the deep and rapid current. Of these men there was not one that had the least self possession, but a young soldier, boyish in years, but of a manly heart, who lifted his voice in words of encouragement and advice. The others, men who had faced death on the battle fields and in rebel j prisons, were as babes in that trying hour. | They wept aloud, and the waters echoed back | their shrieks of utter despair. One of them crawled upon the door and remained there, Ito the imminent peril of the others, and despite their repeated! remonstrances. An other, who observed that Mrs. Perry had on a life preserver, let go of the door and grasped her arm, forcing her from the door under the water. She managed to shake him off and regain the door, lie taking his place by her aide again. The young hero of the hour here remonstrated with the other soldier, saying he was ashamed to see him thus cowardly, after having fought with him on more than one battle ground. But the other was too thorougly overcome by fear to heel the remark, and he repeated the operation three different times, on each occasion dragging M rs. Perry in the water ' and nearly strangling her. Happening to perceive another door floating near them, Mrs. Perry attempted to secure it, but as she was about to lay hands on it. a soldier | who had been clinging to it arose to the surface and warned her off. She stated that the other poor refuge was so over crow ded that it would be impossible for all to clingtoit. She attempted to (atch hold of the door, but the soldier thrust her off into the water, and compelled her to return to the other. After hours of peril they were finally rescued. This proves what all must have observed, that those who are heroes in one condition may be exeoedingly timid WV ir*J - .'i 1 I'—■. .—. —v* ■■ , . C-y* • j | ■1 , ill swing by a rope yarn at a yard arm and reef safe, is "afraid to follow a carpenter upon a staging, lest his support should give way, though it may be ever so strong. 8o men that one hour may be as firm and undaunted as were Napoleon's veterans, and as in movable as the deep-rooted trees of the forest, may the next lie panic stricken, and run like weak children —as cowardly as whipped dogs.—Some men's courage is through force of mind, which controles the bodies; others through brute force, like mad bulls. THE MORNING STARS. I had occasion a few weeks since to take the early train from Providence to Boston; and for this purjiose rose at two o clock in the morning. Everything around me was wrapped in darkness and hushed in silence, broken only by what seemed at that hour the unearthly clank and rush of a train. It was a mild, serene midsummer's night the sky was without a cloud, iht Jtvi" ' whifc. The moon, then in the last quarter, had just, ris en, and the stars shone with spectral lustre but little atfected by presence. Jupiter, two hours high, was the nerald of the day; the Pleiades, just above the horizon, shed then sweet influence in the East; Lyra sparkled near the zeuith ; Andromeda veiled her new ly discovered glories from the naked eye in the South ; the steady pointers, tar beneath the pole, looked meekly up from the depth of the North to the sovereign. Such was tht glorious spectacle as I enter ed the train. As we proceeded, the timid approach of twilight became more percepti ble ; the intense blue of the sky began to gotten, the smaller stars, like little children, went first to rest; the sister beams of the Pleiades soon melted together; but the bright constellations of the West and North remained unchanged. Steadily the won drous change went on. Hand* of angels, hidden from view, shifted the scenery of the heavens, the glories of the night dissolved into the glories of the dawn. The blue sky uow turned softly gray; and the great watch stars shut up their holy eyes; the East be fan to kindle. Faint st reaks of purple soon lushed along the sky; the whole celestial concave was filled with the in flowing tides of the morning light which came pouring down from above in the great ocean of radi ance; till at length, as we reached the blue hills, a flash of purple fire blaze from the horizon aud turned the dewy tear drops of flower and leaf into rubies and diamonds. In a few seconds the everlasting gates of the morning were thrown open and the Ixtrd of the day, arrayed in glories too severe for the gaze of man, began to course. I do not wonder at the su|ierstitk>n of the ancient Magians, who in the morning of a day went up to the hill-tops of Central Asia, and ig norant of the true God, adored the most glorious works of His" hand. But lam fil led with amazement when told that in this enlightened age and in the heart of the Christian world there are jiersons who can wit ness this daily manifestation of the Cre ator, and say in their own hearts, "There is no God." — Edward Everett. PREVALENT MISTAKES. —We desire tocal the attention of our readers to the following prevalent mistakes: It is a mistake to suppose that the sub scription price of a newspaper is clear gain to the publisher. It is a mistake to suppose that he gets white paper for nothing. It is a mistake to suppose that it is prin ted without cost It is a mistake to suppose that he can live bodily by faith. It is a mistake to suppose that it is an easy thing to please everybody. It is a mistake to suppose that a paper is not worth buying which contains only what we know and believe already. It is a mistake to suppose that money due for a paper would be as good to us a year henee as it is now. It is a great mistake to believe that we would not he thankful for, what is due us and for new subscribers. BKDFOHI), p a .. FHIDAY, Al <ll ST is. i.-sii.,. THE GREAT GRAPE VINE OF SAN TA BARBARA. The San Francisco l'nlhtin gives a graph ic account of this somewhat famous vine. The journal says: One of the celebrities of Spanish California is the immense and beau tiful grape vine now growing at the Monte cito, two or three miles below Santa Barbara, on the road to San Buenaventura. The planter of this vine was Dona Marcellina Folia de Dominguez, wife of the old soldier, Jose Marie Dominguez, who came up to Al ta California with one of the earliest exjx> * ditions from Sonora, before 1780, and who were always esteemed an honest and indus trious old couple among the most respecta ble of the native fumiljes and foreigners in the country prior to lffGJ. The old woman J"* * y ■ (JUowlwj • 4<*rn m Sinaloa, Mouth of tuiiacan, and ever since the foundations of Santa Barbara Preside and Mission, 1782—1786, had been an in- I habitant of that vicinity. The great grape | vine which is so often talked of in books and newspapers for the last thirty years, she uniformly stated was planted by her over sixty-live years ago, from a slip which she cut from the young vineyard at San Anto nfo Mission, in Monterey county, for a horse whip, and on arriving at the hot springs of the San Miguel, finding it fresh and sprout ing she determined to preserve it and plant it so soon as she could get permission from the comniandanto at Santa Barbara, which was done, as nearly as eould be ascertained from her failing memory, abont the year 17%, Her husband had got permission to make a small garden near the warm springs of the Montoeello, a favorite place for the washer women of the new settlement of Sauta Bar bara, and here she planted it on the edge of a knoll, expecting after so long a journey to see it die. But to her surprise it immediately took root and began to bud and leaf, and from careful attention before she died it was made to produce more than any grape vine in A merica, North or south. Between 185(1 and 1800 it had been trailed over someßo feet in circumference with a trunk of 12 inches in diameter, rising cleaft 15 feet high from the ground. Some years it has borne over six thousand grapes, or close on to eight thou sand pounds, and became a wonder of every resident or .fojourner in that part of Califor nia. And, what is more, for the last forty years, it has principally maintained the eld woman and her numerous family. She al ways. for long years, made her own wine from her grapes, maintaining that her wine was good for soul and body, and better than that never flowed. After planting the grape cutting, the laml was often troubled with the drouth, which caused her to conduct the neighboring warm spring tcress to the root ofthe vine near her house, and it is suppo sed that, tho mineral water has had some thing to do with its well known luxurience, fruit Fulness and vigor. REASONS FOR LOOKING PRETTY. to consideration trie' strong effect exterior things produces upon the mind, it l>ecomes a necessity, if we desire happiness. That is generally conceded to be the chief object of life! therefore it is well to observe the things most calculated to produce such a result. A consciousness of looking well, being dressed in good taste, and consequently pleas ing to the eyes of those by whom we are surrounded, produces an effect for ourselves as pleasant. TFe M nice—see that others appreciate us. and our hearts warm with a glow of satisfaction which sends lights to the eye and Bp in genial smiles. The atmosl - about us is pervaded with a presence of joy. It is the thrill of ' angel breathings upon human lips," which purify us from dis contentment and the weariness which arises from out of discontentment. The effect upon the spirits, of a dark or bright day is unmistakable. As unmistaka abie is tlie effect of our surroundings wher ever we chance to be. Our sensitiveness to exterior influences, renders us happy, de pressed, or miserable, according to the de gree of beauty about us. In a pleasant, ai fy, weil-furnished room, we grow cheerful, n a dark, gloomy one, we are depressed. A smiling face charms* us to forgetfulness of many ills, while a sombre one, makes us re member them so vividly, we are apt to grow morbid and exaggerate them. In the tout euxemhlt of a man or woman, —dress, fea tures and expression,—we instantlv draw in ferences either for or against—pleasant or unpleasant. The surroundings speak for the taste and habits of a person almost always, unerringly. The dress is a part of these, and the most important we may say. Ex pensive dress is not essential. It is the col or and fitness that gives it character. Ele gance and beauty consist in its tasteful ar rangemcnt, by contrasts or harmonies; and in accordance with our success, is the effect produced upon ourselves and those by whom we are surrounded. Jiet us. then, try to look well —dress with taste; surround ourselves with plcasiDg ob jects-—be happy ourselves, and make others as happy as we can. A MAN WHO THOUGHT HE NEVER PRAYED. The Rev. Mr. Kilpin passed a very pro fane man, and, having omitted to rebuke bim, he awaited hiui in the morning at the same place. When he approached. Mr. Kilpin said, "Good morning, my friend ; you are the person I have been waiting for." "O! sir," said the man, "you arc mista ken, I think." "I do not know you; but I saw you last night when you were going home from work, and I have been waiting some time to sec you.' "Sir, you arc mistaken; it could not have been mc; I never saw you in my life before that I kuow of." "Well, my friend,'] said Mr. Kilpin, "'I heard you pray last night.'' "Now I assure you that you are mistaken I never prayed in all my life.'' "0! said Mr. Kilpin, "If God had an swered your prayer last night, you had not been seen here this morning. L heard you pray that God would destroy your eyes, and ruin your soul." The man turned , pale, and, trembling, said, "Do you call tluil prayer? I did, I did." "Well, then, uiy errand this morning is to request you from this day to pray as fer vently for your salvation as YOU have done for damnation; and may Gou in mercy hear your prayer. " The man from that time became au at tendant on Mr. Kilpin's ministry, and it ended in his earlvconvevsion to God. UNINJURED BY THE FALL. —Three things appear to be uninjured by the Fall —the song of birds, the beauty of the flowers, and the smile of infauoy; for it is difficult to conceive how either of these could have been more perfect had man remaiued holy ; as if God would leave us something pure to remind us of the Paradise we have lost , and point us to that which \w shall regain.— Dr. C. S. Henry. TOE KITTLE QUAKERESS An amusing matrimonial story its told if the olden time in New England. It So full out that a yourig couple became very much smitten with each other—as voung people do. The young woman's lather was a wealthy Quaky; the young man was respec table. Tlie father could stand no such union. and resolutely opposed it, aud tlie daughter dare not disobey, tlial is to say, she dare uot disobey ojienly. She "meets him by moonlight, while she pretended never to see hint; and she pined and wagteid Hi spite pf hers •!£ She was really in love— a state of sighs And tears, which women of feodr reach in nation than in reality. btiU the fitther remained inexorable. Time passed on. and the rose on Mary's UaniiisV dicrV f.asncO iOT. ret,, I. , vwuticwl - ment like a worm in the bud prey on tbat damask cheek, however; but, when her fa ther asked her why she pined, she always told liiin. The old man was a widower, and loved his daughter dearly. Had it been a widowed mother who had Mary in charge, a woniau's pride would never have given way before the importunities of a daughter. Men are not, however, stubborn in suet matters, and when the father saw tliat his daughter's heart was really set upon the match, he. surprised her one day by breath ing out : "Man', rathe;-than mope to death thee had better marry as soon as thee cliooses. and whom thee pleases." And then what did Mary ? Wait till the birds of the air had told the swain of the change, or until her father had time to alter his mind again ? Not a bit of it. She clap pled her neat plain bonnet on her head, walked directly to the house of her intended as the street would carry her. She walked into the bouse without knocking—for knock ing was not then fn-hinnable—and she found the family just sitting down to dinner. Some little commotion was exhibited at the heiress in the widow's cottage, but she heeded it not. John looked up inquiringly. She walked directly up to him, and took both his hands in hers. "John," said she, "father says 1 may have thee.'' And John got directly up from the din ner-table, and went to the parkin s. In just twenty-five minutes they were man and wife. OVER-WORK. 1 nwise above man is the man who con aiders every hour lost which is not spent in reading, writing, or in study, and not more rational is she who thinks evci-v moment of her time lost which does not tind her sew ing. We "nee heard a great man advise that a book of some kind be carried in the pocket, to lie used in case of an unoccupied moment: such was his practice, lie died early and fatuou>. There are women, who. after a hard day's work, will sit and sew by candle or gas light until their eyes arc almost blin ded, or until certain pains about the shoul ders come on. which are insupportable, and a-r ——_ 4-~ l—a I J :—• S- - - painty re work any longer. Tim sleep of the over-worked, like that of those who do not work at all. is unsatisfying and unrefreshing. and both alike wake up in weariress. sadness, and languor, with an in evitable result, both dying prematurely. Let no one work in pain or weariness. When a man is tired, he ought to lie down until he is fully rested, when with renovated strength, the work will lie better done, done the sooner, and done with a self-sustained alacrity. Tlie time taken from seven or eight hour's sleep out of each twenty-four, is time not gained, but the time much more lost; we can cheat our .-elves, but we cannot cheat nature. A certain amount of food is necessary to a healthy hodv. and if less than that amount be ftirnished, decay commences that very hour. It is the same with sleep, and any one who persists in allowing himself less than nature requires, will only hasten his arrival at the mad-house or the grave. This is es pecially true of brain-work. tiOVKR.VOR RROWXI.OWS PI.ATFOR.It. Governor Brnwnlow having l>een ques tioned as to his platform, replies through the colunmsof his paper, the Ku'>.r.e.Ul< Whiff, as follows: "We are for the Union as it is. and the en forcement of the laws as thev me. both State and national, until every rebel lays down his arm.-, is killed off in battle, or in private, or is hung—until this wicked rebellion is crush ed out. and men cease to abuse the Federal authorities, or talk treason oven in private life. We are for no compromise with rebels who hare been in arms against the Federal Government three or four years, and have only laid down their arms because they were irhipped ; we are for no truce with rebels, no pardou for pirates, no complicity with thieves ami no parley with murderers. Wo are for the political party which will stand by the country, sustain the United States Govern ment, and not think of witholdiag men or means from the President until the uation has asserted its independence of organized mobs at the South and in the North, ami until the whole, world shall sec and ac knowledge our power to crush out the great conspiracy. \Y e hold that no man in any section of the country. North or South, should be permit ted to hold office untii he has taken an oath that he has never done, written, or said any thing against the authority of the Govern ment of the United States, or in any way given aid, comfort, or encouragement to its enemies, or to the men waging war against the < rovemment. Being grossly deceived by men in the South, who wont into the rebel lion, we will never support any man for any office of honor or profit, who was a seces sionist, or who aided in the unholy work of oppressing the Union people in the South, or who persistently advocated the prosecu tion of the war brought on at the South.

It remarks that, "if the free people of the North can grow sorghum and make svrup and molasses of it. in our Western prairies, in a loose, unsystematized sort of war. but yet with profit, they certainly can grow boots and manufacture sugar with profit from them also. We surely ought to bo able to make money in a manufacture which is profitable in France and Germany—so profitable, in deed, that it pays large duties to the Govern ments of those countrias."

A man of but moderate acquaintance with the Wicked tniys ©f the world visited the great city of New \ ork. where there are al ways some people so little accustomed to see jfUMgpMi fields of the country that anything J'ke viidaijcy sure, to attract their "atten tion. The stranger was delighted to find these city people so kind to him. and so easy to get acquainted with. Under their pat ronage he enjoyed himMilf highly, and even tually got into a state of happy obliviousness of worldly cares and troubles. Upon recov ering from this state, his head felt uncom monly heavy and his pocket remarkably lieht. 1 assuig sorrowfully down a street, he noticed the sagn of an Intelligence office. Finding a With an impediment in his speech, which was rather aggravated by the confused state Of his mind, he said: "You k-k-kecp intel ligence here, do you T "Yes, sir.*' ' Well I want a d-d-dollar's worth." "What do you want to know "I want to know where I ve b-b-been this three d-days." A similar waut is felt by the Democracy; but it reaches back through a number of years.

Since then, not knowing where it has been, nor where it is to be, it. has been edging up to one and another of its old friends, but they all shy off from it. They don't believe in mill-stone necklaces. We respectfully ad vise a small investment in intelligence."

SON OKA COPPER MINK-;.— A correspond ent of one of the St. Louis papers gives the narrative of an expedition from the foot of the Sierra Madre range across the State of Sonora to Arizona, in which allusion is made to the "marvelous ' N'acosaro copper mines as follows; "It is a most wonderful development of that valuable ore, so lavishly andredundant antly thrown down or up there, that almost upon the very surface one beholds masses of copper ore, with fifty per cent, of pure me tallic copper in it, in abundance sufficient to surfeit the markets of the world. I scarcely know whether to call it a vein or lode. ft is sixty feet wide, and runs for miles. The ore is so advantageously placed that it can be blasted out at one dollar per ton, I offer ing to contract to take out five thousand tons at that figure. No shafts or tunnels seem necessary, any more than on Pilot Knob or Tron Mountain. AH that is necessary is to TfesitTe,* tlmcopper, each ton contains sixty dollars per ton of silver.

The face of the mine al ready stripped presents the beautiful ore in such advantageous position that the merest bungler in mining could knock it out so rap idly, and at such little cost, that it could he laid down at the doors of the smelting furn aces at a less percentage of expense than can be said of any copper mine I have heard of, from lotke Superior to the Isthmus of Da rien.'' INFLUENCE OF FEMAT.ES.— -It is better for rou to pass an evening once or twice a week in a lady's drawing room, even though the conversation is slow, and you know the girl's songs by heart, than in a club, tavern, or the pit of a theatre. All amusements of youth to which virtuous women arc not admitted, rely upon it, are deleterious in their nature. All men who avoid female society have dull perceptions, and are stupid, or have gross tastes, and revolt against what is pure. Your club swaggers, wno were sucking the huts of billiard cues all night, call female so ciety insipid. Poetry is uninspiring to a yokel; beauty has no charms for a blind man; music does not please a poor beast who does not know one tune from another, but as a true epicure is hardly ever tired of water, sauce, and brown bread and hatter. I protest I can sit for a whole night talking to a well-regulated kindlv woman about her girl Fanny or her hoy Jrank, and like the evening entertain ment. One of the great benefits a man may de rive from woman's society is that he is bound to he respectful to her. The habit of it is of great good to your moral men. depend upon it. Onr education makes us the most eminently selfish men in the world. We fight for ourselves, we push for ourselves, we yawn for ourselves, we light our pipes and say we won't go out, we prefer ourselves and our ease ; and the greatest benefit that comes to a man from a woinau's society is, that he has to think ol somebody to whom he is hound to be constantly attentive and respectful. Evil. COMPANY, —The following beauti ful allegory is translated from the Ger man : Soplironius, a wise teacher, would not suffer even his grown up sons and daughters to associate with those whose conduct was not pure and upright. "1 >ear father," said the gentle Kulalia to him-one day when he forbade her in com pa- j ny with hot brother to visit the volatile Lu ciuda, "dear father, you must think us very childish, if you iuiaginc that we should be exposed to danger by it. The father took in silence a dead coal from thehearth. and reached it U> his daughter. - "It will not burn you, my child, take it. Eulalia did so, and tab old ! her delicate white hand was soiled and blackened, and, as it chanced, her white dress also. "We cannot be too careful in handling coals." said Eulalia, in vexation. "Yes, truly," said her father: "you see my child, that coals, even if they do not burn, blacken. So it is. with the company of the vicious." \ SHERIFF was once asked to execute a writ against a Quaker. On arriving at his house he saw uio Quaker s wife, who in ronk to the inquiry whether her husband was afhonie, said he was, at the same time requested him to he seated; and her hus band would speedily see him. The officer waited patiently for some time; the fair < Quakeress coming into the room, he re miuded her of her promise that he might <ec her husband. ,r Nay, friend, T promised that he would see thee. He has seen thee. He did not like thy looks; therefore he avoided thee, and hath departed the house by another path." ('ANDOR. —There is nothing shedsao fine light upon the nunmn mind as candor. It was called "whiteness" by ancients, for its purity; and it always won the esteem due to the most admirable of the virtues. How ever little sought for, or practised, all do it the homage or their praise, and all fed the power and charm of its influence. The man whose opinion make the deepest mark upon his fellow men, whose friendship instinct ively sought where all ©there have proved, faithless, is not the man of brilliant parts, or flattering tongue, or splendid genius, or commanding power; but he whose lucid can dor and ingenuous truth transmit the heart's real feelings pure and without refraction. There are other qualities which are more showy, and other traits that have a higher place in the world's code of honor, but none wear better or gather less tarnish by use, or claim a deeper homage in tnat silent reverence which the mind must pay to virtue. GF.X. CASS ON URESIS JW*X<TNCOLN.— The venerable Lewis Cass has written his views of Mr. Lincoln, in which he say*: r "The departed patriot entered uf>on his new field of duty with unwavering confidence in the justice of the cause and its final tri umphal issue; and this confidence accompa nied him during all the trials to which ne was exposed, and invigorated the policy he felt called to adopt; and, as in the progress of events, he became better understood by flu- coarse nf hj administration, he beeAihe better appreciated by Ijfe countrymen. Though differences of opinion as to the measure to be adopted wefe mscparanle from such a contest, involving many issues of weal and woe, still his noble qualities inspired general respect, and his successful adminis tration will be evidence in all time to come j of his worth and the wisdom of his meas ures. BE roua OWN RIGHT HAND MAN.—Peo ple who have been bolstered up and levered all their lives are seldom good for anything in a crisis. When misfortune comes, they look around for something to cling to or lean upon. If the prop is not there, down they go. Once down, they are as helpless as cap sized turtles, or unhorsed men in armor, and they cannot find their feet again without as sistance. Such silken fellows no more resemble self made men, who have fought their way to position, making difficulties their stepping stones, and deriving determination from de feat, than vines resemble oaks, or spluttering rushlights the stars of heaven. Efforts per sisted in to achievements, train a man to self reliance, and when he has proved to the world that he can trust himself, the world will trust him. We say, therefore, that it is unwise to de prive young men of the advantages which re sult frota their energetic action, by "boost ing" them over obstacles which they ought to surmount alone. GOOD RULES FOB ALL.— Profane swear ing is abominable. _ . Vulgar language is disgusting. Inquisitiveness is offensive. Tattling is mean. Telling lies is contemptible. Slander is devilish. Drunkenness is disgraceful. Laziness is shameful. 'Avoid all the above vices and aim at use fulness. This is the road by which to be come respectable. V alk in it. Never be ashamed of honest labor. Pride is a hate ful curse —a hateful vice. Never act the hypocrite. Keep good company. Speak the truth at all time. Never be discour aged but persevere, and mountains will be nwtk hill* . MANUFACTURES IN TENNESSEE. —One of the largest and finest rolling-mills in the I'nited States is already in operation in Chattanooga, Tenn, which is daily turning out the best quality of railroad iron of the T pattern. A blast furnace is in contem plation. and a copper rolling-mill worth sl*ooo,ooo capital, is soon to oe put up in the neighborhood. A large blast furnace will be commenced in the fall on the Tennessee river above Chattanooga. Several coal oil companies are only waiting for machinery .to commence operations in different localities around that place. The old coal mines are being reworked and new ODes opened. IMPOTKANT LAW DECISION. —The New Hampshire Superior Court has decided that an express company delivering a parcel mar ked with the cabalistic "C. O. D."—collect on delivery—may allow a person to whom it is consigned, reasonable time to open the package and determine whether he will re ceive it or not. The rule heretofore has been that no examination could take place — the receiver must take the package and then determine whether it contained what he or dered or not. A soldier who was guilty of gross cowar dice at the battle of the Wilderness, was tried by court martial in New York for the offence, and sentenced to be shot. He was taken to Broome Street Barracks, but had not been there half an hour when he sent a oolite note to the officer below for a pass. Those in charge of the office failing to keep a correct account <f their prisoners, gave the pass, and the result was, the fellow walked out, and his not been seen since. SOUTH CAROLINA COTTON AND RICE.— The Charleston Coimer of the 24th says: "Purchasers of cotton and rioe appear to be reaping a rich harvest, and the holders of this kind of property are doing well by dis posing of it. Now thaf the twenty-five per cent, tax is taken off cotton we begin to see that article come forward to market in large quantities. Men of capital are coming from tne North by every steamer with the view of investing in cotton and rice. A CLEAR CONSCIENCE. —How bravely a man can walk the earth, bear the heaviest burdens, perform the severest duties, and look all men square in the face,_ if he only bears in his breast a clear conscience, void • of offence toward God and man. There is no spring, no spur, no inspiration like this. To feel that we have omitted no task, and left no obligations unfilled, this fills the heart with satisfaction, and the soul with strength. HE who, by his conduct, makes good friends on the one hand and bitter haters on the other, gives evidence that there is some thing of the bold, independent, upright man in his composition; while the chicken hearted, imbecile character, is capable of making neither friends nor foes. GENERAL SCOTT says that people think lie is proud and pompous simply because he is tall and erect- To a recent caller, who expressed surprise at his affability, he re marked, "Sir. it has been the misfortune of my life to be six feet four inches high, and to have a straight spine. Had I been round shouldered, or had a hump on my back, it would have relieved the odium in the pubho eye.' ! agk.
