Bubxk pot Flight.—Mr. Burke on one oo-
cassion had just risen in the Bouse of Com
moos, with some papers in his band, on the
subject of which he intended to make a motion,
when a rough-hewn member, who had no ear
for the charms of eloquence, rudely started up,
and said, ‘Mr. Speaker: I hope the gentleman
does not mean to read that large bundle of pa
pers, and to bore us with a long speech., Mr.

with rage, as to be incapable of utterance, and

But as the musio reached bis ears, he stopped

For a moment, emotion forbade utterance,

While filled with sorrow for the unfortunate

eould not help reflecting upon the wonderful
power of musio. That simple strain, perchance

What Constitutes Riches.
“To bo rioh." said Mr. Many, the present
Secretary of State “requires only a satisfacto
ry condition of the mind. man may be
rioh with a hundred dollars,, irbito another in
the possession of millions- tony think himself
poor; and as the necessities of life are enjoyed
by eaeh, it is evident that the man who is the
best satisfied with bis possessions, is the rieher.*’
To illustrate this idea, Mr. Marey related the
following anecdote: “While I was Governor
of the State of New York," said he, “I was
oalled npon one Morning at my office by a rough
specimen of a backwoodsman who stalked in
anJcommenced conversation by inquiring “ia
this was Mr. Maroy ?”
I replied that that was my name.
“Bill Marey ?’’ said he. I nodded assent.
“Used to live in Southport, did’t ye V”
I answered in the afirmative, and began to
feel a little onrions to know who my visitor was'
and what he was driving at
|' “That’s what I told ’em,” cried the back
woodsman, bringing his hand down on bisjthigh
with tremendous force; “I told ’em yon was
the same old Bill Many who tued to live In
Southport, but they wouldn’t believe it, and I
promised the next time I came to Albany to
come and see yon and find out for sartin. Why.
I don’t you know me BilL*’
- I didn’t exactly tike to ignore his acquain
tance altogether, bat for the life of me I couldn't

replied that ha had a familiar oountenanee, bot
that I was not ablo to call him by name*

backwoodsman, “and we used to go to school

What is Not Etiquette nr England.—
Douglas Jerrold, in bis recently published work,
entitled “Imperial Paris,” has this good hit
npon an Englishman’s notions of etiqae'te.
He supposes a Frenchman to be speaking:
In Egland. it is not etiquette to go to tbe
Opera with tbe smallest sprig npon tbe waist-
coat or tbe cravat; to take soup twice; to
salote a lady first; to ride in an omnibus; to
go to a party before tea or eleven o’clock, or to
a ball before midnight; to drink beer at tbe
table without giving back your glass at once to
the servant It is not etiquette to refrain a ;
day from abavtng; to have an appetite; to
offer anything to drink to a person of high rank; I
to appear sarprised when the ladies leave the
table at desert time—that bonr which Is so char
ming with us. It is not etiquette *to dress in
black in the morning, nor in colors in the eve
ning. It is not etiquette to address a lady with
out adding ber Christian name. To speak to a
person, on any pretext, without having been
presented; to knock at a door quietly; to have
the smallest particle of mod npon tbo boot, even
in the most unfavorable weather ; to have pence
more land than any other in tbe whole state."
“And so you have made a good thing of it.
How much do you consider yourself worth ?” I
asked, feeling a tittle curious to know what he
considered a fortune, as be seemed to be so
well satisfied with his.
“Well,” he replied, “I don't know exactly

I should be worth three hundred dollar* clean

The Utility op Swearing.—An esteemed
friend sends os the following batch of ancc.
dotes: A gentleman of my acquaintance, just
returned from Sacramento, was giving an ac
count of an individual whom he saw there, very
well and favorably known in the financial com-
munity, who was cooling himself in the lobby
of the Legislature, while endeaving to get a cer
tain bill through, which be believed would have
a most important effect upon his fortunes. He
was exceedingly nervous and anxious, but pos
sessed such complete self control, and conceal
ing his agitati >n under so calm an exterior, that
a careless observer, noting his, among the nu
merous careworn and anxious faces that fill the
State House, would have considered him the
most unconcerned person there. Bnt he had

A Presbyterian Clergyman Suspended pob
being Connected with the Underground
Railroad.—The Louisville Conner copies with
approval the following from tho Presbyterian
Herald : Tbe Indiana Presbytery, of the Cum
berland Presbyterian Cburcb, lately tried and
suspended the Rev. T. B. McCormick, one of
tbeir ministers, from the functions of tbe gospel
ministry, until be repents, under tbe following
ebarge and specifications :
Charge—Unchristian conduct.
First Specification—For associating himself
with an association known as the underground
railroad, whose avowed business is to assist slaves
from slave to free territory. >
Second Specification—For actually engaging
in tbe business of assisting slaves in making
tbeir escape from slave to free territory, which
is contrary to the laws of the United States and
statute laws of Indiana.
Several of the witnesses stated that Mr. M.
bad boasted to them of tbe number of slaves be
had aided to escape, giving tbe names and pla
ces in Kentucky from wbicb they bad escaped,
and one of them testified that bo had heard him
aay that be had never denied belonging to the
underground railroad, and that be bad said in
April in this year, in speaking ef the relative
numbers taken to Liberia by colonization, and
to Canada by underground railroad, that 10,000
had gone to Liberia and 35,000 to Canada by
underground rail-sad.,
One of their papers stated that he visited one
of bis ministerial brethren in Kentucky, partook
of bis hospitalities* prayed with his family, and
in the meantime arranged matters with his ser
vants to make their escape.
A Legal Anecdote.—The following anecdote
used to be related of Hon. Jeremiah Mason, of
New Hampshire, and is said to have occurred
at Portsmouth. There is a well-known custom
prevailing in onr criminal court, assigning coun
sel to such prisoners as have no one to defend
them. On one occasion, the Court finding a
man accused of theft, without counsel, said to a
wag of a lawyer who was present: “Mr.
please withdraw with the prisoner, confer with
him, and give him such counsel as may be best
for his interests.” The lawyer and client with
drew; and in fifteen minutes the lawyer retur
ned into Court alone. “Where is the prisoner?"
asked the Court. “Ho has gone; yonr honor
told me to give him the best advice I could for
his interest; and as he said he was guilty, I
thought the best counsel I oonld offer him was to
font and run,’ which ha took at once.”
Cotton Crop-—The cotton crop has been
again backward this year, bat the planters have
maintained a fair price. The cotton Is rather
less than last year, but has probably produced
more money, while tbe planters have all arti
cles of food in great abundance. Corn particu
larly is with them in good supply. The crop,
export, consumption and stock for several years,
was as follows:
COTTON CROP.
Crop. Export. Consumption. Stock.
1851 2,355.257 1,988,710 404,108 128,900
1852 3,015,029 2,413,646 603,029 81,176
1853 3,202.382 2,528,400 011,009 135,043
1854 2,930,027 2,319,148 610,071 135,603
1855 2,847.339 2,244,209 593,594 143,336
During the past year the quantity of cotton
taken by . the United'States spinners from the
ports has not been so great as in the previous
year, but the quantity actually span has been
as great, since the factories have reduced their
Btock to some extent. The war does not seem
to have affected the consumption abroad, nor is
it probable that it will during the coming year.
The stock in England June 30, was 652,300
bales, against 1,053,700 bales for the same time
last year; and the consumption for the first six
months of the present year proceeded at the
rate of 48,224 bales per week against 86,195
per week same time last year. In the United
States, the consumption In the last six months
of tho year, was much more rapid than in the
first portion, as follows :

MayltoSeptl 169,922 212,848 42,629
The impulse which has been given to business
in the last half of the year, is manifest in the
quantities taken, but tbe stock must have been
very much reduced during the money pressure
and needed replenishing, as well as to meet the
current use. Prices reached tbeir lowest point
in January, and hare since been rising, nnder
tbe active demand at home and abroad, and the
prospect is that bow great soever may be the
new crop, prices must rise on it—'’17. S. Econo-

chilliness. The moment you observe this, go
toyonr room and stay there ; keep it at such a
temperature as will entirely prevent this chilly
feeling, even if it requires a hundred degree#
of Fahrenheit. In addition, put yoar feet in
water, half-leg deep as hot as you can bear it,
adding, hotter water from .time to time for a

hotter when you take yonr feet out than when
yon put them in; then dry them thoroughly,
and pnt on warm tbiek woolen stockings, even
if it be rammer, for rammer colds are the moat
dangerous; and for twenty-four hours* eat not
an atom of food: bat drink as largely as yott

effectually broken, without any medicine what*

Pbote8Tant Sisters or Charity.—It is re
ported that quite an extensive movement is now
on foot among the ladies attached to some of
tbe Episcopal churches in the City of New York,
to found a religious order similar to to the Sis •
ten of Charity. They have provided already
a house where the ladies (wba must be single)
meet, and after appropriate religious exercises,
spend their time in making up garments for the
poor and projecting plans to supply their neces
sities. There are no vows taken, norany pecu
liar dress worn, as they above all things desire
not to be conspicuous. Among them, it is said
are yonng ladies moving in the most wealthy
and fashionable circles in New York society.—
This movement is confined to what are known
as tho Puyseyites, or High Church Episcopa
lians.—Carolinian.

Olive Culture 'in South Caronina.—Mr.
Robert Chisolm, of Beaufort, has furnished the
Agricultural Division of the Patent Office an ac
count of his experience in the Olive culture:
Mr. C. says that he has cultivated this tree
for about twenty years, and has thus far been
entirely racsessful. His trees were imported
from the neighborhood of Florence, and have
borne large quantities of fruit every year, in
stead of only in alternate years as is tbe case in
Europe. The grove of Olive trees number be
tween three and four hundred fine specimens of
this far famed tree, and is perhaps the largest
in the United States. He adds: "I have suc
ceeded successfully in picking the green fruit.
Indeed, my pickled Olives have been without
exception pronounced by good judges in Charles
ton, fully equal to any French importation, and
by some much better. I am of the latter opin
ion, as they are less salty and more nutty Sa
vored. I have twice received premiums from
the South Carolina Institute for my pickled Ol
ives. I have pickled them both to imitate the
French and the Spanish, and have also made

A Good Reason.—A grand jury ignored a bill
against a huge negro for stealing chickens, and
before discharging him from custody, the Judge
made him stand reprimanded; he concluded as
follows:
“You may go now. John but (shaking his fin
ger at him) let mo warn yon never to appear
here again.”
John, with delight beaming from his big
white eyes, and with a broad grin, displaying a
row of beautiftil ivory replied:
“I woulnd’t bin dis time Judge, only the con
stable fotohed me!”

Recife for Matrimonial Happiness.—Pre
serve the privaoies of your house, marriage
state, heart, from father, mother, sister, brother*
aunt, and all the world. You too, with God’s
help, build your own quiet world; every third
or fourth one whom yon draw into it with you
will form a party, and stand between you two.
That should never be. Promise this to eaoh
other. Renew the vow at eaoh temptation-
Yon will find your account In it. Your souls
will grow, as it were, together, and at last they
will beeome as one. Ah, if many a young
pair hod on their wedding day known this so-
oret. how many marriages were happier than—
alas! they are!
Furniture.—As in dress, so in furniture—a .
little taste is better than much money without
it. There are certain articles which, if good,
cost mnch, such as carpets and mirrors. But
couches, loungeB, ottomans* and chairs may be
quite cheap, and also very tasteful by the exer
cise of a little art and industry. A common
chair which costs a dollar, staffed and covered
at the cost of another dollar, may be- a better
and more beautiful article than one you may
buy for ten; and five dollars and a few hours'
labor will gire you a couch really more elegant,
as well as more comfortable, than a sofa
cuts fifty. Bat a good pianoforte, like a good
mirror, has the element of cost, and to save n
hundred dollars in one or twenty in the'other,
is poor economy. Plate glass keeps its value ;
and a good tone is worth more than all outside
finish.
Don’t make , your rooms gloomy. Famish
them for light, and lettitem have it Daylight
is very cheap; and candle or gas-light you need
not use often. If yonr rooms are dark, all the
effect of fornitore, pictures, walls, and carpet
are lost.
Finally, if yon have beautiful things, make
them useful. The fashion of having a nice par
lor, and then shotting it up all but three or four
days iu the year when you have company;
spending your own life in a mean room, shabbily
tarnished, or an unhealthy basement, to save
your things, is the meanest possible economy.
Go a tittle farther—shat up your house, and
live in a pig-pen! The use of nice and beau
tiful things is to act npon yonr spirit—to edu
cate you and make yon beantifal.
Have an American Heart.—Have an
American Heart. Have no other. It is the
best heart that ever beat. Its pulsations are
for liberty, for freedom, for republicanism—all
that can bless the individual, give vitality and
success to the State, and grandeur and strength
to the nation. It is the heart oi hearts. Show
us a man with a real American heart and we
look upon him as one who is an honor to his
kind, is a full-measured patriot, a firm and val*
font defender of his country, a profound lover
of its institutions. His heart is right- He
will be sore to be right any way and how.
Have an American heart It will swelllyour
besom nobly. It will fill you with the grand*
est of feelings- He who can say, “I have an
American, heart and every throb is for Ameri
ca.” has a possession the wealth of the richest
of the world cannot paralleL
It is a carious fact that there are about five
hundred verses in Mathew's Gospel that are
also in Mark’s; more than three hundred verses
in Lake, and about one hundred and twenty
that are also in Mathew. Nearly one-half of
the Gospel by Mathew is to be found in Mark
and more than one-third of the Gospel by Luke
is to bo found in Mark or Mathew.

A clergyman of this city, a few Sabbath*
