CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY
We have somewhere seen a notice of a
Rotterdam thread merchant, who bad ac
eumulatedlifty thousand dollars by his own
industry, punctuality and integrity; and it
was remarked of him that he never let a
yard of bad thread go out of his hands, and
would never take more than a reasonable
profit. By these means he acquired such
eritire'public confidence, that his customers
Would as soon send a blind man or a child
to buy for them as to go themselves.
We refer to the case not to intimate that
we have no such instances among ourselves,
but for the purpose of suggesting the great
value, to any business man, of such a char
acter, and the exceeding agreeableness to
dealers with htm of the confidence he in
spires. And we affirm nothing extrava
gant in saying, that the character for strict
integrity acquired is of as much real worth
to its possessor as the pecuniary savings
of his industry. Let such a man lose by
any misfortune all his money, he is still a
man of capital, of weight, of influence, and
is the superior, on mere business calcula
tions, of many a man of large monied
means.
But the beauty of the thing is this, that any
man, however small his business and
his capital, has just as good an oppor
eunityof winning confidence as the million
. aire. integrity in small things is even more
eimpressivo than integrity in great things.
,And after all that men may say in praise
of the esserprise, skill, shrewdness and tact
of particular business men, there is one
,cherattarthwards which all minds instinc
tively leader their reverence—and that is
the inacoulto would rather be honest than
twcalthy. wad who prefers integrity to gold.

A Camp's Firnti—A beloved Minister
of the gospel was one day speaking of that
active, living faith, which should at all
times cheer: the heart of the sincerefollow
era of Jews, and related to me a beautiful
illustration that had just occurred in his
own family.
He had gone into , a cellar which in win
ter was quite dark, and entered by a trap
door. A little daughter, only three years
old. was trying to find him, and came to
the trap-door, but on looking down all was
dark, and she called :
"Are - you down in the cellar, pktial" -
"Yes ; would you like to come, Mary?"
"It is dark ; I can't come down, papa!"
"Well, my daughter, I am right below
you, and I can see you, though you can
not see me, and if you will drop yourself
I will catch you."
"Oh, I shall fall, I can't see you, papa l"
••I know it," he answered,••but I am re.
ally here, and you shall not fall, or hurt
yourself. If you will jump, I will catch
you safely."
Little Mary strained her eyes to the ut
most, but could catch no glimpse of her
father. She hesited, then advanced a lit
tle further, then summoning all her reso
lution, she threw herself forward, and was
received safely in her father's arms. A
few days after, she again discovered the
cellar door open, and supposing her father
to be there, she called :
"Shall I come again, papa'?"
"Yes, my dear, in a minute," he replied,
and had just time to reach his arms to ,
wards her, when, in childsh glee, she fell
shouting into his arms, and clasping his
neck, said :
"I knew, dear papa, I should not fall."
WORTH AND THE WORLD.—Some forty
years ago, the yellow fever raged in New
York. The wife forsook her husband,
the mother fled from her child; conster•
nation prevailed in every quarter, and all
who could leave the city (lid so; but there
was one man who remained through the
whole scene. He shunned not the infect
ed district, but where the dying lay he was
to be found. He held the cup to the
parched lip when relatives had forsaken
the sufferer—he spent his whole time in
the midst of the sick and the dying. The
suffering he relieved, and the dead he bore
on his shoulders to their last resting-place.
He escaped the contagion and lived to be
an old man. He died in the alms-house
—no friendly hand was there to close hie
eyes—no mourner was at his bier. The
rough boards held his venerable remains,
a beggar's tomb received his worn out
body. Thus the world serves its bens•
factors.—N. r. Slat.
THE PASSION FOR GAMINO.—.The an
cient Germans, according to Tacitus, play
ed to such desperation, that, when they
had lost every thing else, they staked their
personal liberty ; and, in the event of bad
fortune,became the slaves of the winners.
D'lsraeli, in his Curiostlea of Literature,
has given us the following account: 'Dice,'
says he, "and that little pugnacious animal,
the cock, are the chief instruments employ
ed by the numerous nations of the East to
agitate their minds and ruin their fortunes ;
to which the Chinese, who are desperate
gamesters, add the use of cards: When
all other property is played away, the A
siatic gambler does not scruple to stake his
wife or child on the cast of a single die, or
on the strength and courage of a martial
bird. if still unsuccessful, the last venture
is himself.
—in the island of Ceylon, cock-fighting is
carried to a great height. The Sumatran!,
are addicted to the use of dice. A strong
spirit of play characterises a Malayan.—
After having resigned every- thing to the
good fortune of the winner, he is reduced to
a horrid state of desperation, He then
loosen'', a certain lock of hair, which indi
cates war and destruction to all he meets.
He intoxicates himself with opium, and
working himself up .to .a fit of phrinsy, he
bites and kills every one who comes in
his way. But as soon as ever this lock
is seen flowing, it is lawful to fire at du
period, and destroy him as soon as possi-

newly-discovered islands of the Pacific
Ocean, they venture even their hatchets,
which they hold as invaluable acquisitions,
on running matches. We saw a man,
says Cook, in his last voyage, beating his
breast and tearing his hair in the violence
of rage, for having lost three hatchets at
one of these races, and which he had pur
chased with nearly half of his property.

anger, and they all joined in bate towards
the king, her father, and would have driven
him from his throne. But there stood be.
fore the erownless king a counselter of
whom no one had dreamed. A poor and
wise man, who had dwelt in the palace all
his days unnoticed and uncarcd for, and he
said to the monarch—,
" My hind is feeble, tied has never
grasped a spear, yet I can tell the stars in
their courses. My voice is low it has
never been heard in battle yet it can teach
men wisdom. My body is frail, but I
have strength in my soul. Let and go
forth among thy people, and teach them
how to overcome the might of the enemy"
Then the wise man went forth, and his
words were like thunder, and he ruled the
hearts of men spinet their will, until the
wrong was conqudrred and theJand was at
rest. The king said unto hi nix--
"Thou shalt have the reward which is
greatest of all ; thou shalt be my eon s 0

But the othet answered--•
" How can it bet lam lowly hi form
my youth is gone by ; I have neither
strength to fight nor beauty to win love.—
The princess will not cut her eyes on me."
And he looked sorrowfully to where the
throned maiden sat in her loveliness, as
one would look at the sphered moon, in
hopeless adoration. Then the princess
came down from her seat; her breast
heaved, her cheek burned, but it was not
with pride ; and she said softly to him.--
" Thou art very wise, but thou knowest
not the secrets of a woman 'a heart. When
the strong men came and laid their tributes
before me, I thought of a voice that had
taught me in my childhood, and t turned
from them as from the warring beasts of
the field. When the noble and beautiful
bent before me, a face was in my eight
more dear, more lovely than all, for in it
shone the glorious and immortal mind !
Host thou know my heart now 1"
Then the maiden laid her arms around
his neck and whispered—
Let me love thee, thou noblest of all.
If thou art poor, I will be thy riches ; if
thou art growing old, I will bring back thy
youth. To me thou art all fair, all young
thou art my glory, my delight, my pride !"
The minstrel paused in his song, and
glanced at Lucia. She eat with her head
bent forward, her quivering lips pale with
emotion and her eyes fixed with a look
full of the deepest and most adoring love—
not, alas, on him who sang, but on Leut•

young wife of a soldier, about to embark
fur Madras. I've been in them parts

ments I wont through, night and day, with
the mosquitoes. They have long suckers
hanging down from their heads, they'll

the memory of the young woman ; the
vessel made Madras roads, the decks were
•soon crowded ; all hands delighted at the
sight of land, Mrs. Harooney with them ;
but her joy was of short duration ; for on
shore she perceived an elephant. Horror
stricken at the eight, and in breathless agi

ing, with uplifted hands, Holy mother, is

TWO NifiLARS PER ANNUM]
INEW SERIES--NO. 94.
Two nis A sen.- , —Ned and Charley were
two room mates. but they occupied differ
ent beds. Ned's sleeping apparatus was
so situated that he could get into either
side—that is to say there Were two fore
sides to his bed, and no bank side—
which Ned found very convenient on cer
tain occasions.
One night Ned and Charley had been
out, and on returning, which they did near
morning, both were considerably elevated.
However, they walked up to their room
with an air that seethed to say, ""not en
very drunk tdier all," and sought long and
patiently for matches and a lamp. After
knocking the pitcher oft the washstand and
smashing the looking glass, they finally
give up the search and went to bed.
Went to bed—yes, that's the word, tint ow•
ing to the darkness, and confusion of their
senses, they made a slight mistake. In
short, Ned's bed had the honor of receiving
the two friends—Charley getting in on one
side, and his companion rolling in on the
other.
• I say, Ned," cried Charley, touching
somebody's calf, "there's a fellow in my
4. Wonderful coincidence!" exclaimed
Nod, feeling a strange elbow in the region
of his ribs, .4 there's somebody in my bed,
too."
Is there, thought" said Charley, " lets
kick 'cm out."
" Agreed," said Ned.
And accordingly the' two friends began
to kick. It lasted about a minute and a
hall, and Ned was sprawling on the floor;
Charley was left in possession of the bed.
For a moment all was silent.
" I say Ned," cried Charley.
What 1 " asked Ned sulkily.
" I've kicked my fellow out ! "
" You are luckier than I am, then," laid
Ned, " for mine has kicked me nut."
A REOULAR SAW..—.Some lime last
winter, about the period of drawing in
saw logs," a shrewd Vermonter bargain
ed with an old miserly fellow, who owned
a saw mill, to saw some very knotty hem
lock loge which he had. The old fellow
agreed to saw them into any kind of stuff
that Jonathan wanted, under a forfeiture of
$5O. About two mouths after, he met the
Yankee in the road, and the old covey,"
intimating his readiness to saw the logs,
desired to know what kind of stuff Jona
than wanted them sawed into.
Wal," said the Green Mountain boy,
"I reckon I'll hare them sawed into clear
pine hoards."
What," said old Crusty... saw knotty,

" If that is the case, I'll trouble you for

expostuluted. but Nara no use; he had
to fork over."
