THE VOLUNTEER. John O. Bratton, Editor and Proprietor OABIiIStiB, FEBRUARY 34, 1853. Mb. Sohomaoiieb's Conoebts.— Mr. Schumacher's Concerts, at Eby's “ Marion Hall," on Thursday and Friday evenings, were well patronized. Tire first evening particularly, the spacious Hall was literally | crowded. As a violinist Mr, S. has few if any supo, riors in tills country, and on lliia occasion, tie was particularly fortunate in the selection of his pieces, and played in*a moat masterly and splendid manner. Xbo foorgentlemen who assisted Mr. S. also perform cd most admirably, end Hie music produced by tbo well accorded instruments, was most enchanting. The Hall was brilliantly illuminated and looked oi eoodiogly well, and the ladies were most bewitching in appearance. All in all, those Concerts afforded the richest musical treat our citizens have ever on jojed. _ CarsTAa Fountain. —Wo have before us tbo first number of the Crystal Fountain, a now Temperance paper, published at Harrisburg. William P. Coul teb. a lively and ready writer, is its editor, and we have no doubt ho will make his paper intorosing to the general reader, as well as an able advocate of temperance. The Fountain is printed on new type, and its mechanical appearance is decidedly neat, and Its editorials evince good judgement and taste. Terms, 91 per annum. Wo wish our friend Coulter BUOC6BB. A Ball Soma of our young mon, wo hear, are talking of gelling up a Ball or danco at Eby’a “Mar tion Hall.” Wo ocoond the motion. The preaenl appear right that we should got up something calcu lated “to drive dull care away,” for awhile. True, dancing haa been cried down in this Slate, by our good pastora and other pious men, but they have never yet advanced one argument against Ibis inno cent amusement (hat had the least force in it. The truth is, there is no harm in dancing, and wo are ready to argue this question with any one. It is a healthy, dignified exorcise, and calculated to culti vate grace in the person, and sometimes and good manners. This tiling of condemning dan cing is peculiar to ministers of the Gospel in this Stale. During our residence in the South, wo no | tieod the sons and daughters of clergymen enjoying 1 the dance in common with their acquaintances. To condemn dancing, therefore, is oil humbug- Wo don't believe in any such foolish restrictions to amusement. Firemen’s Supper.—The members of the Union Fire Company partook of a most sumptuous supper j at Glass’ hotel, on Monday evening. Some seventy memneru or Uio Company nml« United guests! were sealed at the tables. The supper was got up I in Mr. Glass’boat style, and was highly creditable 1 to hie taste and liberality. After the cloth hod been removed, the company was called to order by its President, Mr. E. Common, who offered a sentiment complimentary to Col. Noble, to which Mr. N. re •ponded In a few appropriate and well limed remarks. Dr. Dale and J. B. Bratton wore also called on, both of whom answered in ehorl speeches. After voting the thanks of (ho company to (he host and hostess, for (he splendid supper (hoy had provided, the meet ing at an early hour adjourned. Masonic Supper.— Tlio members of Cumberland Star Lodge, No 197, Free and Accepted Masons, had a supper at Glass’s hotel, on Tuesday evening. The supper bad been got up with groat caro, and the tables fairly groaned under the weight of viands,cakes good things before them. After the Clout lldd utuu removod a Table Lodge was formed. A toast com plimonling *'our invited guests,” was then drank, to which Bro. John FI, Beiirthiu., of Harrisborg, ro sponded in a beautiful and eloquent speech, of about half on hour in length. Short and appropriate! speeches were also delivered by Bros. Dr. Baughman, 1 Lieut. Spencer, Dr. Dale, W. Faulk, Jacob Rhocm, Jacob Bretz, Ur. Rawlins, and John B. Bratton, and at an early hour the company adjourned. The whole thing passed ofl* in harmony and good feeling, •nd all were delighted with the evenings entertain ment. The 22o.—Tuesday last, being the 22d of Febru ary, our Volunteer Companies, (ho "Infantry,” com manded by Copt. 8. Crop, and the "Artillery,” com mended by Lieut. W. F. Sellers, paraded our streets and presented a very fine appearance. Chicken Thieve*. —Two worthless vagabonds named Sam Johnston and Maths™ Dodson, (colored men,) were arrested a few days since, and brought before Esquire Keepers, charged with the larceny oft number of chickens —some fifteen or twenty pairs—belonging to William Lino, Esq , who resides within a couple hundred yards cast of Carlisle.— Many of the fowls wore valuable, comprising various ■elect breeds. Dodson was committed to (ho Dau pbio county prison to await his trial, and Johnston entered ball in the sum of $5OO, for his sppoaranee ■I Court. They are both groat rascals, and wo have no doubt they will receive a free ride on (ho railroad to Philadelphia, afler the adjournment of the coming Criminal court. A Convention of the Agriculturists of Pennsyl vania is to be hold at Harrisburg on the Blh ofl March next, for Iho purpose of taking measures for j Iho establishment of an Agricultural School, con nected with a farm for experimental and practical purposes. An excellent idea. Bui, say our Catholic friend*, “wo are compelled to pay liiiok, and aupporl a system of education and religious instruction winch we cannot and will not recognise, and wo ask that the whole system may bo remodeled,6o os to give us a control equal to (ho amount of money wo pay to support that system.” This argument might appear plausible enough, but wo deny tho right of these Catholic gentlemen to designate (he manner in which the money belonging to tho School fund shall bo appropriated. Suppose | wo admit this right, would it not end in strife, and would nut all other religious denominations demand that the schools should bo conducted in accordance with their particular notions of morality T Tho -* " i common school system is not,and nevor-woa intended as u religious organization To acquire (lie rudi- : monls of a good English education, and to make this i education ftturral —giving the poor man's son equal, opportunity mill the sun of the man of wealth this is the object, the only object, contemplated by the Common School System.

JOHS W. POBNEY. In a recent Washington correspondence, the name of Col. Jontr W. Forney was mentioned in connection with a Cabinet appointment. This fact was taken hold of by the unprincipled Wash ington letter writer for Greely’a New York TVi* June, who in his letter to that paper, says: The richest joke of the season is the polling for win) Mr, John W. Fobnet as an aspirant for the position of Secretary of the Interior Department. The Democratic members are lanohing heartily 1 over it, as embracing the most withering satire 1 imaginable upon the current custom of drumming for cabinet places, as country poet offices were pre viously applied for.” Now, whether Col. Fopnev over thought of a Cabinol appointment or not, we are unable to say, | but certain it is, Gen. Pierce will be fortunate if | he procures the services of men like Founky for: his Cabinet oflicers. But, says the itinerant cor respondent of the TVibune, “the Democratic mem bers are laughing heartily over it.” Indeed’— And why do they laugh I—why do they attempt to ridicule Mr. Forney 1 We venture to say he is endowed with more qualtiee of real greatness than two-thirds of the members of Congress, for It is an undeniable fact that there are a great many ex ceedingly email men in Congress, who have been placed in the position they occupy by the zealous labor of the editor. They 100 often, however, for get the men who made them, and strut and swell, and in their own estimation consider themselves “some pumpkins.” Mr. I orney we have known from boyhood.— Like most other eminent men, he was poor, butby indomitable energy, and hard application, he sur mounted all obstacles, and is now, and has been Tor many years, regarded as one of the ablest po litical writers in Pennsylvania. He is, emphati cally, a self-made man—the College he graduated at was the Printing Office. As an editor, ho Is known far and wide, and perhaps no one of his age—for he is yet a young roan—has made more great men out of small patterns than Forney. The idea of small-potatoe members of Congress sneer ing at such a man as Forney, might, with truth, be mentioned as “the richest joke of the season !” Some members of Congress have been puffed into consequence above their natural sphere, by the editor, and 100 ofteft thp compliment haa been re turned by heartless ingratitude, 'll is limn editors should mark these miserable Ingrates and pretend ers, many of whom are unable to write a single sentence correctly. We have often thought that editors, as a gene- ral rule, are too good natured, and are 100 much in tlio habit of indiscriminate puffing. We detest this kind of editorial weakness, for we have learn-1 nl, 'iy actual experience, thnt after puffing a font ] 1 into consequence, cold indifference is too often the 1 return. A great man—a man who, like John W. Forney, by the power of his own intellect has gained a reputation and a name, requires no puff ing. The miserable Lilliputian—(he man of small brain, but of great vanity—he it ia that cringes to the editor like a spaniel, and fairly begs to be puffed into notice, and perchance into Congress. Out no sooner is this creature of printer’s ink fair- ly warm in his seat than he will enjoy himself in ••laughing heartily” at the expense of those who made him. As we have said, it is lime editors should mark these reprobates—those small potatoo politicians, whose brain would not fill a thimble, but who are as vain in their position as a peacock. | They to laugh at a man like John W. Forney ! Blast their selfish souls, Forney has more wisdom in Iho nail of his big toe titan a dozen such mem. gusling — a thing , made up of meanness, vanity, and selfishness. Give us iho man, who, like For nkv, has made himself, and who is able to leave lijs mark to posterity. We can admire such men, I no difference what their politics may be, and in I about the same ratio do we despise the vain con- I ceiled fool, who by mere accident may occupy a ; seal in Congress or be placed in any other high ] position of Government. ren wore sealed, BISHOP O’fONNKR-OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM. 1 Wo staled some time since that Bishop O'Cunnf.r, of Pittsburg, hud addressed a senes of letters to Gov. Bigler, in opposition to our Common School System. Tho Bishop complains that in our Public Schools as non organized, "religious instruction is either attended to in a manner which Catholics con demn, or, what is noTrty as bad, it is loft without any attention whatever,” Ate. In other words the Bishop would exclude tho Bible from the schools, for (Ins is what lie is driving at. But (bo people of (his State, wo opine, will answer most emphatically no to (hot proposition. Out System of Common Schools we have just cause to feel proud of—a system which, like tho blessed sunshine In its universal bonifiooncc, typifies the Creator's face, expressing his love for all the croatorea of his hand. Abolish this system, indeed, for the purpose of establishing nurseries of sectarianism! Never —nicer.' Wo yield to every man, woman, and child the right to enjoy, unmolest ed, their own opinions on the all-absorbing subject of roliginn. This is the spirit of our institutions, end every man, except ho bo a miserable bigot, will say amen (e this. areabKedT Thai day, ho»e»or, will neveropine, .o long aa the people of our Stale loro and ohotlah Ibair'poatority.aud prefer light lo darkneae. A CASE OP CONSCIENCE. A reverend gentleman of the Catholic church called at the office of the National Intelligencer, on Saturday last, and handed In thirty dollars in gold, which he stated had been delivered by a person in the confessional to be sent lo that office.^iftrcAangc Paper. Wo would lhal some two oi throo hundred of our delinquent subscribers could be brought to the confessional also. It would be a great matter for j their own toult as well aa to out purse. It might bo the means of easing them from eternal perdition for no man, in our opinion, can enjoy true happiness if Indebted lo the editor. Now, yo non-laying subscribers think of this, and act like, men who have a duly to perform. Pay the prin ter, and every body else if you can. Then your conscience will not upbraid you, and you will feel yourself an honest man. The paragraph we quote furnishes evidence strong as holy writ, that when a roan becomes I truly penitent, his first desire is lo pay his honest, debts, and particular the debt he owes the printer. [The man who made a confession of his sins j to the Reverend gentleman, as mentioned above,, | acknowledged that he as indebted to the editors of the National Intelligencer in the sum of s3o. He felt, in making a confession lo his preceptor that he could have no peace of mind until he can celled this bill, and he paid it accordingly. So it is with every honest and good man. Noman who carries his heart in the right place will lake a pa per for years together and neglect lo pay for it.— d„;„» ,xo (ha man who will thos act, and our word for it he is regarded by discriminating men as a bad member of society—a weak vessel, un worthy the confidence of his fellow-citizens. We care not what professions he may make, nor how often he may mock God by hypocritical protesta tions, he is still a bad roan—bad in heart, bad in action, and a nuisance to honest men. It is a fact J —a most humiliating fact—that some professors j of religion do not hesitate lo cheat and their creditors aa often as opportunity presents; and when we see such men take the holy sacra-1 menland thus make an open confession, we shud-] der for weak humanity. Such men do more to retard Christianity than all other causes combined —they are the black sheep of the flock. There is not, we have reason to believe, any hypocrisy in a true believer in religion. A lrue"beliovor, our word for 1 it, is an honest man. !|Io must be honest, or lie is a hypocrite. And yet, we, fear that some men who preach up morality, are guilty nearly every day of Home petty Idishonosty. We know and fed that we hfcvol suffered to a considerable amount on account of the dishonesty of men who shield their vljlainy'by by the cloak of religion. For such men jeve have the most contemptible opinion. They are a curse to maji, and an abomination to God, They will receive their reward! They may cheat mpn, and cavil and lie, but at the great Judgment they can not and daro not practice deception. They will be weighed in the balance, and if they fall to mend their ways, they may bo found wanting in the weight of righteousness. Rumored Frauds on the Government.— Tlio Washington Union says, (he Committee of Investi gation, appointed lasi session of U. S. Senate direct ed to examine into charges of fradulcnt practices in the erection of the new wings of the Capitol, have been engaged in their labors, and taken evidence of the must startling character. It shows innutrior | character, by which nearly ooc-hulf of I lie sis hon - dred thousand dollars, appropriated by Congress, has j boon misapplied and embezzled. Inferior matcrhils hire been used and their use concealed ; defects in tho work havo been covered over, government pro ' I property misapplied; implements and laborers used ; for private purposes; an extensive system of embrz. | j zlcmcnl acted out, by which largo sums of money i hive been drawn for work never rendered ; and lu I | hirers have been employed at extravognnl wages, I 1 under Iho agreement that they should give up a largo { p niton of those wages aflor they wero drawn from the pay agent. Tins system has been carried to such an extent, wo are informed, as to swindle the • Government out of about three hundred thousand dilltrs—one half of the entire appropriation. If these charges bo true, Congress will no doubt sift them out most thoroughly, so that they mty bo laid I where the responsibility belongs. They seem, how -1 j over, too wholesale in their character sod to mVblvo 1 i 100 many persons in complicity with soeh frauds, to bo received without aorao grama of allowance. Two aiore Territories.— Dills arc before Con. gross to ostoblish (wo mord Territories within our expanded orod'. One is the Territory of Nebraska, to embraoo all tho territory lying west of the Slates of lowa and Missouri to tho Rocky Mountains run* ning south to Utah and north (o latitude 43° N.— Tho other is the territory of Washington, which is to embrace all of Oregon lying north of (ho Colum. bia River eastward to the Rocky Mountain* on the lino of 46° N. r from tho point whore the river touches that parallel of latitude.

An Indian Cmivi Returned. — A eon -of ‘Mr. Chubbs of Adrain, Michigan, who was stolon by In* d'nins fourteen years ego, when ho was six years old, returned to Jus father, near Detroit, lately. It appears ho was sold by his captors to another tribe, who subsequently re-sold him to a different tribe; (hat ho married the doughlor of an Indian chief, ahd that, having adopted their customs ho is about to go back to thorn. V (lon. J. R. Chandler, Representative In Congress from Philadelphia, is seriously ill at Washington. Kew Ooin»get The House of Representatives,on Tuesday a woek ( passed the bill which passed (ho Senate last session, amendatory of the existing laws regulating the coin age of h(,lf-dollare,qaaFler.dollara, dimes and half dimes, and providing for the cpinoge of $3 gold pieces. The bill received no amendment in the House, and requires only tho signature of the President to became a law. As the subject possesses general interest, wo givo the annexed abstract: From and after the Ist of Juno, 1653, tho standard weight of the half-dollar pieces shall bo 192 grains, (present weight 206|) and tho quarlbr-dollar, dime, hall-dime shall be, respectively, ono-holf, one-fifth, and ono-lenlh'sald weight. The coirib issued in conformity with this regula tion, shall bb legal tenders fn payment of all sums, not exceeding 85. Tho Treasurer of the Mint is authorized to pur chase the silver bullion requisite for coining these pieces. They shall bo paid out at the Mint, in exchange for gold coins at par, in sums of not less than 8100. Depositors may have gold or silver cast Into bars or ingqts, either of pure metal or standard Oneness, with a stamp upon the same designating their weight and Oneness; but no piece of less weight than ten ounces shall bo oast other than of the standard One ness. In addition to the charge now made for re fining or parting metals, the depositor shall pa; for the casting of these bars or ingots, one-half per coni of ihoir values, the proceeds to go into the United Stoles Treasury. Gold pieces of tho value of 83, shall be coined, conformable to tho present standard of gold coins. The devices and shape of these coins to fixed by (ho Secretary of the Treasury. AH the provisions of this Act shall go in force on (bo Ist of June next. PaoniDiToar Liquor Laws. —The main business of the Legislature of a number of the Stales, is the discussion of prohibitory liquor laws. An anti-li quor law baa passed (he Rhode Island Senate, which is to b« submitted to Uio people at the April election, and in the event of their voting not to sustain It, it is to bo repealed tan days after the rising of the next General Assembly. In the Now Jersey Legislature, a prohibitory law was read in the House on Friday. A proposition was offered to submit it to the people in June next, and if they sustain it, that it shall go I into effect in July ; if they do not, that it shall go [into effect next February. The proposition waa I negatived, but the vote is not to be considered a tost lon the subject of (lie final passage of the bill. The j bill will probably come up on its final passsago on , Tuesday or Wednesday next. A Feathered Convention. —The editor of the Ro chester (N. Y.) Union, some lime ago, killed a spot ted adder snako, in a mowing field, and the severed I body was thrown over a fence. In a few minutes birds began to collect from an adjacent force!, con sisting of every variety, and forming circles round ! the body, seemed to be very highly delighted, con tinuing their chattering for about two hours. Ths snake is said to be of a species which fuoinates 1 birds, and"tlioro Is, therefore, good reason enough j for the ornithological concert ; but how the winged creation should discover that (he snake waa killed, and how they could communicate (he fact so quickly , and so generally, puzzles the editor, as well as many osiers. Perhaps wo have philosophers among us I who will give us a solution of the mystery. Late and Important from Mexico. —An arrivol last Saturday from Vora Cruz, brings dales from the city of Mexico, to the 25th oil. Aflor the ejection of Congress fro nr (heir hall by J the soldiers of Cevalos, 58 members resumed their I session in a private bouse, and on the 2lsl, impeach- J cd President Cevolso, and elected Doric, the Gover nor of Pueblo, as President ad interim of (lie Repub lic Dorio, however, refused to accept the post.

It is reported that Uraga is willing to .recognize Ccvnlos, but desires (hat Cong rose shall 1 be reinstated, provided that they shall reform the I constitution. President Cevalos has issued a proclamation open ing the ports of Mazallan, San Ulas, Tampico, Vora Cruz ond Camargo. Cure for the Croup.— Dr. Forbes, of Boston, re. tee, in a late number of the Medical Journal, a ease m which a severe attack of croup was cured by the application of sponges wrung out o( hot water to tho throat, together wills water treatment, which bo de scribes as follows : ‘•Soon after making the first opplication of sponges I to the throat, 1 wraped the child in a woolen blank et. wrung out in warm water as a substltuo for a warm bath, and gave twenty drops of tho wine of l antimony .in a little sweetened water, which she swallowed with difficulty. I porsorved in tho opplis cation of the hot, moist sponges for an hour, when (ho child was so much relieved that I ventured to leave it. “These applications were continued through the night, and in the morning the child was well.” It wilt never do to (rifle with this terrible disease. Tho quicker tho remedies are applied the boiler. Instead of antimony, wo would recommend small quantities of alumn water given every ton or fifteen minutes until the child vomits. A New Wav to Raise the Wind.—Frederick Walcott watched the trains on the Erto road, and employed others to do the same, uulil ho wss able to prove forty five violations of the statute In not ringing tho boll at crossings. Ho sued the company in tbc name of the people. Tho jury brought in a voidicl of nine hundred dollars. One half of (his sum goes to (ho complainant.

We hope the Doctor will say a word or two about bare arras and shoulder*, end not forget thin slippers. TUB PRESIDENT ELECT, Goo. Pierce, President elect, arrived in Philodol, phia on Thursday last, and pul up at (ho Merchant's Hotol. The Pennsylvanian of Monday, in speaking of him,says: Tho President elect still remains in oar city. Ho 5 appears so well pleased with it and our people, that it is likely he will remain hero a day or two longer. When Gen. Pierce arrived hero ho appeared hag. gard and oaro warn, bat it scorns that the healthy atmosphere by which wo are surrounded and tho kind considerations of tho people, who havo done everything to mako his slay with us pleasant as possible, has done much to restore his wonted health of mind and body. He presents quite a different appearance to what lie did when ho first came among us. Yesterday morning, in company with a friend, the President elect attended Divine worship at the church of tho Rev. Dr. Clarrb, (Presbyterian) cor ner of Eighth and Cherry streets; in the afternoon, he listened to a discourse from (ho Rev. Dr. Board han. In both oases lie expressed himself highly pleased with the sermons of these eminent Divines. Gen. Pierce received no calls yesterday, and wo iaro pleased in being able to say no one attempted to intrude upon his privacy. More Bloodshed In Hungary* Wo make the following extract from a letter to llio New York Tribun* t in regard (u the slate of of fatrs in Hungary,-which, since the Revolution, has been a prey to the vultures of despotism, feeding upon tiio vitals of a downtrodden and unhappy people. Ho writes that— -,| The year 1852 closed with a sad tragedy in Him I gary. Ever since the catastrophe of Hungary, those i who took part in the struggle for independence have been cruelly persecuted by the Austrians. Thousands of eminent men were captured, fettered and sent to prison—the officers sent to Italy as private soldiers, tho chiefs were executed. Many-fled-to' foreign countries, many hid themselves in the marshes and forests of Hungary. They havo there organized themselves in a military way, and carry on a guerilla warfare, levying black mail on Auslnanizing land lords on the new officials, and attacking the gens d’ormes and soldiers. One of their leaders in the Dukony forest was Mr. Noezlopy, formerly a lawyer and landed proprietor—during the war a guerilla loader. He was taken by the Austrians, alter strong resistance and sent to the prison hospital at Pcsth.— Bot his energies remained unbroken; ho. succeeded in inducing the guards to escape with him. Since that time ho has not spared any Austrian police spy. He has hanged about six of them, who hud success* ively introduced themselves into the territory where his men found a refuge. Ho often visited Peslh in disguise, but was betrayed and taken prisoner in November last. As soon bb it wos known thui the daring chief was captured, the gens d’armes model a razzia all over Uio Backony forest, and look four, teen of his men. Three of them—Piatoy, Hogy* 1 raegyi and Nagy SanHor, none of them yol thirty years old—had served formerly in the Hungarian army aa officers. They wore brought to Poslh, and though it cuuld not bo proved that cither o( them was concerned in levying black mulls, or of having participated in on encounter with the police, they were sentenced to be hung. Tho gallows was; creeled on the last day of tho year, the prisoners ; carried in procession through the streets, but their behaviour was bo solemn and dignified that the population could not refrain from .homing ll.olr sympathy. On the scaffold the sentence was read which doomed thorn to death. It contained the words that the culprits wore agents of Kossuth.— This name is, as you know, proscribed In Hungary; it is a felony to utter it. When it fell from tho lips of the Judge the culprits uncovered this movement was initiated. Nagy Sundof said a few words to his countrymen, and admonished them not to despair but the drums were boating at the command of iho police offiflr, and drowned his voice. All three died like heroes. On (ho same day six persons were executed at Puks and throe at Bzogodin. Tho police, furious at the domonlrations of sympathy, immediate, ly arrested about one hundred of tho spectators, and I on order was issued, that, in future, the name of' Kossuth shall never more bo mentioned in a sentence, I but that he shall bo spoken of generally as tho traitor <nd conspirator.

The best and most unexception able men should be selected as the candidates.— Amongst the mmy gentlemen spoken of in connect, ion witb the different offices, is Dr. John Patrick, of Fayette county, for (lie office of Surveyor General. Tbc Doctor is a gentleman eminently wor'hy of a nomination for tbo high and responsible office. His business qualifications and abilities seem to fit him peculiarly for that elation. He has always been a faithful and zealous democrat, honest, capable and intimately acquainted with business of (hat nature, being an accurate practical Surveyor. A man of ! sterling integrity, and cud boast of personal and po j lllicul popularity, uncqualed by any other mnn in I either party, his nomination would meet the appro bation of a largo majority of (ho Democratic party. I and his election would ho triumphant. Tho bill now before the Legislature, providing for an increase of the salaries of (he Judges of the Supremo Court, gives tho Chief Justice 82,200 a year and ouch of (ho Associates, 82,000, with 83 e day extra for every day actually engaged in the business of tbo Court.

Spabus before Brand*.— Tho following anoodolo is (old of a very fine fellow who had boon some what frulioksome, bul had recently Joined the Sons of Temperance t After becoming a ‘Son* ho wont (u Mobile on business, and was token sick there. The physician called on him, and after examining him, pronounced him In a very dangerous situation, snd prescribed brandy. The siak men told him he would not lake it. The doctor said he must, or he would have spasms, * * Well,’said the Son, 1 I will try a couple of spasm* first.* Ho did not lake the brandy, nor did be have the spasm. I do not moan (ho merely being in .time for lectures / dinners, do., but I mean (bat epiril out'of Wbicl# punctuality grows—that love of accuracy, precision/ and vigor which makes efficient men and women— 3 the determination (hot what you have to do thall of done. In spito of all petty obstacles, and finished 6a at once, and finally. I believe I have told yotr Ihtf story of Nelson nnd his boachmaker, but yob muafr it once more. When lie was on the eve of depart ure for one of his groat expeditions, (he coacbroabef said to him, “ The carriage shall bo at the door six o’clock.** “A qeartor before,* said Nelson, 11 1 have always boon n quarter of air hour before my lime, and it hau made a man of me.” The punctuality which I dfeslfc for ypu, Involved and comprehends an exact arrangement , of<yonr time. It is a matter on which much depends. Fi* how much lime yon will spend on each, object, and keep all but obstinately to your plan. •* Method," says Cecil, “is like packing things in box—a good packer will gel in half as much again as a bad one.” Ponder well what 1 have said, and call on God to help you in arraying yourself in the qualities which 1 desire. If youmcan lobe effective, you must set about it earnestly, and at once. No ono over yet yawned it into being with a wish jyou must make arrangements for it \ you must watch it; you most notice when you fail, and you roust keep soroo kind of journal of your.failures. * A lady who wished for some staffing from a dock, which a gentleman was carving at a public table, requested him to transfer from tbo deceased fowl to her plate some of its artificial intestines. 03* When yon sec a good looking young widow promenade the streets daily, don’t imagine she wants a second husband.
