mayor, y mayor ejército permanente, con lo*
Mdherentes opresores de una enorme deuda y
pesadas contribuciones. Si nos contentamos

nos de fanfarronadas y desanimar al tilibustc-
rísmo bajo todas Jas formas.''
Refiere Plutarco que en una conversación
que dice tubieron los siete Sabios de Grecia, se
propuso esta pregunta : ¿ Cual es ol gobierno
p.Qpular mas perfecto 1 A'ella respondió Tha-
]cs Milecio : "Aquel en el cual los habitantes
ni son muy ricos, ni muy pobres." Solon dijo:
"Aquel en el cual la injuria hecha a un particular, interesa a todos los ciudadanos.'' Ana-
carsis : "Aquel en donde la virtud cs honrada,
y detestado el vicio " Bias '-Aquel en dende la
ley ocupa el logar de la tiranía." Chilcn : "A

"Aquel en el cial no se conceden las dignidades sino a los hombres de bio**, y jamás a los

"is Mr. Harris i" V' inquired a plainly but
neatly dressed boy of twelve or thirteen to a
clerk, ae he atood by tbe counter of a large
feo ok store.
The well.paid clerk regarded tbe boy with
a supercilious look, and answered "Mr. Harris
is in, but be is engaged."
The boy looked at tbe clerk hesitatingly,
and then said, "if he is not particularly en_
gaged, I should like much to see him."
•'Ifyoti have any business to transact, I
can attend to it," replied the clerk;'-Mr.
Harris cannot, be troubled with children like
you,''
"What is this, Morjey?" Baid a pleasant
looking, elderly ¿man, stepping up to the clerk
"What does the boy want ?"
'He insisted on seeing you, though I told
him you were engaged," returned the clerk- a
little aba.shed by tbe m.inner of his employer
"And what would you huve with me, my
lad'!" inquired Mr. Harris, kindly.
The boy raised his eyes, and mteting the
half scornful glance of the clerk r-aid   timidly :
"1 wish to look at the bill of some books
which I bought here some three months since
There is a mistake in it which 1 wish to correct."
"Ah. my boy, I see." replied Mr. Harris^
"you have overpaid os, [ suppose."
"No, sir,"   inswered the boy.     "On the con
trary, I purchased some booki. which are   not
charged on the bill, and I have called   to   pay
ynu for them."
Mr. Harris folded bis arms across his breast,
regarding the boy earnest for a moment, and
then asked, "When did you discover this
mistake ?"
"Not till I reached borne," replied the lad.—
"When 1 paid for the books 1 was in a great
hurry, fearing the boat would leave before I
could reach it, and did not examine the  bib."
".Why did you not return and rectify the
mistake'!" asked the gentleman in a toneslight-
ly altered.
"Beca; se, sir, I live at some distance from
the city, and have not been able to return
.until now."
"My dear boy," said Mr. Ha' ría, "you bave
given me great rleasure. In a long life of mer.
cantile business. I have never met with an
instance of this kind before. You huve acted
nobly and deserve a recompense."
"I ask no recompense," returned the boy,
prou-diy: "I have done nothing but my duty,
a simple act of justice, and that deserves no
reward but itself.1'
"May! ask who taught you such . noL.e
principles "!" inquired   Mr. Harris.
"My mother," answered the boy. bursting
into tears.
1 Blessed is the child who has such a mother,"
said Mr. Harris, with much emotion, "and
blessed is the mother of such a child. Be
faithful to ber teachings, my dear boy, and
you will be the staff oí   her declining years."
"Alas, sir." sobbed the boy." she is dead,
Tt was her sickness and death which prevented me coming here before."
"What is your name 1" inquired Mr. Harris.
"Edward Delong."
"Have you a father *"
"No, sir; my father died when I was an
inlant."
"Where do you reside V
"In tho town of Liuwood, about fifty miles
from the city."
"What were the books which were forgotten V
"Tacitus, anda Latin dictionary."
"Let mc see tbe bill. Hah! signed by A.
C. Morley. [ will see to that. "Here, Mr.
Morley," called Mr. Harris, but that functionary wae busi y engaged in waiting on a

"Edward," continued the kind hearted Mr.
Harris", "J am not going to reward you for
what you have done, but I wish to manifest
my approbation of your conduct in such a man.
ner as to make you remember the wise and
excellent precepts of your departed mother.
Select from my store 11113^ ten book- you .choose,
whiab, in addition to the ten you had before,
shall be a present to you ; and henceforth, as
now, my i oy, remember and not 'despise the
day of little things.' If ever you need a
friend call en me, and for thy mother's sake I
will assi-t you."
When the gwi teful boy left the store, through
his own tears he saw the moistened eyes of
his kind benefactor.
Edward Delong wished for knowledge, and
though the scanty means of bis mother could
hardly satisfy his desire, he had advanced far
beyond most boys of his age. By working
nights and mornings for a neighbor, he had
amassed what seemed to him 5 large sum of
money, and tbis was expended in book3.
Scarcely was ho in possession of his treasures, when his mother sickened and died.
Hia home was now with a man who regarded
money aa the chief end and aim of his life,
and eeyere and constant labor as the only
means of obtaining that end
For two years, Edward struggled with his
hopeless condition Toil, early and late, was
bis doom, and to his oft expressed wish of obtaining an education, his employer answered :
"Lainin' never made corn grow, or tilled
a field, and what is the use of it. I can only
rend and write, and there ain't a richer man
in the place, not excej ting Squire Morrison,
with all his larnt notions.■'    *    *    *    *   •
"Is Mr.   Harris in?" inquired   Edward, as
he agnin entered the store of that gentleman.
"Will you wait a moment and ho will be at
liberty »
"Did yon wish to see him?" asked Mr. Harris of the boy, whose thoughts were so intanse
that he hud not noticed the approach of his
friend.
"Mr. Harris!'«xclii-iined Edward, and it
waa all that be could say.
"My -noble Edward !" said tho old man.
"And you havo needed a friend. Well, you
shall have one."
Five years from that time, Edward Delong
was the confidential clerk of Mr. Harris, and
n three mre, a partner in tho firm. I hi
ntcgrity of purpose which first won the re
jard of his benefactor, w.js his guide ih aftei
ife. Prosperity crowned his efforts, and hap
uness blessed his heart—the never failing re
¡Ult of faithfulness in "little things."
Live Cattle Weighed bi- Measure.—The
only instrument necessary is a table measure
with feet and inch marks upon it. The girth
is the circumference ofthe animal just behind
the shoulder blades. The length is the distance from tho shoulder blade to tbe rear of
tbe buttock. The superficial feet arc obtained
by multip-ying the girth and tli0 length.
The following table contains tha rule to ascertain the weight of the animal:
If less than one foot in girth, multiply su-
p< rilcial feet by eight.
If less than three and more than one, multiply superficial feet by eleven.
If less than five and more than three, muL
tiply superficial feet hy sixteen.
Ifless than seven and mors? than five, multiply  superficial   feet   by   thirty three.
Ifless than oleren and more than uíoe, multiply superficial feet by forty-two.
Example.—Suppose the girth cf a bullock
to be six feet three inches ; length, five feet
six inches. The superficial area will then be
thirty four and, in accordance with the preceding table the weight will be 782 pounds
Example—Suppose a pig to monsuvo in
girth two feet, and length one foot nine ¡buhes.
There would then be three and a h.tif sut>er
ficial feet, which, multiply by eleven, give;;
thirty seven and a half pounds sis tlie weight
uf the animal when dressed, In this way the
weight ofthe lour quarters can be substantially ascertained during life.
A Viciosa Sheep.— -Mac, who loves a good
thing as well as a -ybody. got out the following.: last week, vouching thai, it was true, according to the 'Bobtail' limitation—o: in other
words—-as lar as he knew:'
Out West, a settlement was Eorely annoyed
by a rogue who stole sheep frequently, but
"-ho,   by  hia adroitness,   always   managed to
escape direct proof of his guiL ^MDO _-
nun-erable, only three shades below the legal
standard of proof, were correctly recited
against him. Nobody, however, could furnish the evidence which would stop up the
Rogue's Gap of Reasonable Doubt. Pettibune
was 100 wido awake fur lhat.
At length, one Sunday morning, a neighbor
oa some sudden emergency, was passing across
the country—perhaps for a doctor—through »

where a small flock of sheep were nccu-tomed
to graze Here he saw Pcttibone in hot pursuit of a fat ewe, and too enthusiastic in the
pursuit to observe that there was a spectator
ofthe cha?e. At length Pettibone overhauled
the ideating emblem of innocence, and with
glittering Made let out its life. At this juno-
ture, the aforesaid spectator rode up and ox.
claimed:
'Ah! you infernal sheep stealing rascal, I've
caught you at last, have 1, fight in the act of
killing John Simpson's sheep !'
Yes! shouted Pettibone. thrusting forward
bis face and shaking his bead defiantly at his
intcrloeuter, while he flourished his blade in-
digaantly—'yes! and I'll kill anybody's sheep
that comes and tries to bite me /'
The defence was worth a sheep, and they
only required -Petty' to leave the neighborhood, lest all the sheep become vicious.
Remarkable Discovery.—A curious experiment, says Galiguani'a Messenger, was
mide recently in the basin ofthe Palais Royal,
Paris, in the presence of a numerous crowd of
spectators. A glass globe, containing a certain liquid, was thrown into the water, and
then bmke by the means of a pole. The liquid
immediately spread itself over the surface of
the water and inflamed, and continued to burn
withau intense flame for fifty six seconds,
throwing out a thick smoke. The basin look
ed as if it was all on fire. Tha discoverers
have succeeded in composing a liquid, which
is not costly, and which titfcfie fire 8fiontane-
ously in contact with water, as proved by the
above experiment. Another experiment was
made some days before on th» Seine near
Point de Grenelle, and completely succeeded,
notwithstanding a high wind and the agitation ci the water. On that occasion tha flames
burnt for more than a minute. Tbe ioipor
tance of such a discovery, in the hands of
those who attack or defend a placo, and particularly in a naval combat, may bo readily
conceived.
An Akctic Continent.—A correspondent
ofthe New York Sun, who writes from Rai
kiavick, narrates the discovery of an Arctic
continent alleged to have been made by the
crew of a small Swedish brig, which sailed
from Christians and to Spitsbergen on a seal-
foyage in the year 1853 : but getting
ried away by the great northern Held ¿J
ice, just before reaching that island, they
were borne northward, and discovered this
contii'ent. The intelligence was given by
two of the sailors of the vessel, who were pick
ed up at sea on un iceberg, one of whom   died
d the other was crazy for several weeks.
All they brought with them was the sleeve or
tail of an old shirt worn by one of their crew,
ho is styled a "professor," aud wbo very con
siderately wrapped up in it "a roll of manuscript in the English language" giving an
historical, political, geographical, ethnological and ethnographical history of the now
continent and its inhabitants. This intelligence ia important to those who havo sufficient
credulity to believe it.
Cure for Palpitatios,—A lady, about forty years old, says the Journal OF Health, who
has suffered severely from periodical attacks
of palpitation of the heart, from the age of
twelve years, has found immediate tmd permanent relief from the use of soda water. It
appears from experimenta since made that
¡ carbenic acid gas is the active euratiyo Bgant,
Progress or Steam Navigation'.—The Lon.
don Shipping Gazette, speaking of the progress of stoam navigition, says that steamera
are now on the interior waters of Australia,
opening up profitable commerce, regions heretofore almost shut out. from communication
with the sea, and thus removing the idea that
there drought prevailed, and that no passage
for produce could bo obtained. Rivers which
tbe colonists never, thought navigable, have,
by British enterpriwc, bceume changed in iheir
aspect, and the Marray and ita tributarios
now boar down to tbe aea rich cargoes of wool,
tallow and colonial produce, to tbe surprise and-the delight oí the squatter, and 'thy
manifest enhancement in value of his lands
and flocks. Another vast cmtinent, South
America, is opening up its interior treasures
to commerce, -furniufhing new markets for
manufactures, now fields for agriculture and
industrial enterprise, and, doubtless, number
less new prouuets from regions unknown and
unexpl red. but abounding in all that can
minister to the wants of man. The steamer
floats proudly on the Magdalena, stems the
broad torrent ofthe Amazon and its confluents,
penetrates into the interior rivers of Peru, and
traces the important affluent ofthe Rio de .la
Plata into .Paraguay and liw17.il. Who can
tell the benefits which shall result to the various South American Republics from the extension of steam into tho groat watershed of
the continent— thus opening up the highways
which Providence has munificently siifplicd!
Tbe inhabitants are no longer shut out frnm
communication with the sea, and produce,
whieh formerly had to be conveyed long an.d
expensive journejs by land, on .ho backs of
muled or alpaccas, and then by circuitous
voyages on the Pacific and round the Horn,
can now be brought promptly and economical.

An Extraordinary Tmr: Piece —There is
now in the possesion of, and manufactured
by Mr. «Oollings, silversmith, of Gloucestershire, .England, a most ingenious piece ot
mechanism—an eight day clock, with dead
beat escapement maintaining puwer, chimes
the i|iiarters, nlays sixteen tunes in twelve
hours, or will play at any time required,—
Ih? hands go round as follows: One, once a
minute; one; once an Hour ; one, once a month;
one, onse a year. It shows the myn's age,
the time of ruing and setting of the sun, tho
time of high and low water, half ebb and half
flood ; and by a beautiful contrivance, there is
a part which represents the water, which
rises and falls, lifting the ship at high water
tide aa if it were in motion, and as it recedes
loaves those little automaton ships dry on
the sands. It shows tho hours of the day, day
of tho week, month of tho year. In tho day
ot the mouth there ¡3 a provision made for
tbe long and short months. It shows the
twelve signs cf the zoditc ; it strikes or not,
chimes or not, as you wish it; it has tbe equation table, showing tho difference of clock and
son every day in tho year. — F.vory portion of
the clock is of beautiful workmanship, and
pei forms most accurately.
Firemen vs. Celestials—On Tuesday
evening last,   tho  Eurekas  and  Yubas tried
their engines in an experiment upen a c!us_
ter of Chinese brothels on Front street, between C street and Maiden lane. They procured water from Wells Sa liailey's reservoir,
and about 11 o'chick commenced pouring well
directed streams ofthe cooling and cleansing
fluid into the windows of tbe-<e dens of pollution. Tho work was'conductel on well arranged principio?—tho houses were visited
and washed in regular succession-—though
not much to the tante of the cccupants, if one
were to judge by their sudden scampering.
On yesterday morning several of those frail
chocolate colored beauties took passage on
tho down going boats perfectly disgusted with
Marysville, and especially with tho ¡Marys,
ville firemen.—Marysville Herald.
Fine Orchard —The California Farmer
pays that in the orchard of Mr. Jcse Heard,
ut tho Mission of San Jcso, are the following:
1800 apple trees, 1000 peach trees, 300 apri-
04.t, 200 cherry. 250 plum, 150 pear, 100
quince. 150 fig and grape There aro also
very fine currants., raspberries, strawberries,
and blackberries, and 0000 young trees in
nursery rows. Connected with this orchard
is a farm, containing 50 acres of lino grain,
50 acres of potatoes—the finest we havo seen
this season; 50 acres of sundry vegetables,corn,
peas, beans Around, this orchard and farm
thero is a fine wire fence of two miles in
lenjith, and two miles of Oiage Orange} and
what has beeu done, has been well doue.
Hard to Kill.—The -Sunderland Herald
says a laborer employed ¡it the Fort Clarence
Iron Works, near .Middlesboro', fell from a
height of forty feet on some metal plates, and
is still alive, notwithstanding that his skull
was severely fractured, one eye knocked out,
the cap of both knees split in two. one leg
below the knee broken, and tlie thigh ¡ibovti
that broken in two places, his right arm brofc.
0D, his shoulder dislocated, his jaw buiii. broken, a large piece cut out of bis check, and
also several contusions on his b^ly.
A new order of Friends, styling themselves
"Progressiva," have   advertised  their   yearly
eetingin the Meeting House at Old Keiv;et,
Chester county, Pa, A oommitteo of the old
Quakers have publishod it notice forbidding the Progressives from holding ^atfotif
in their Meeting House; and, further, that if
their meeting houses "are hereafter forcibly
entered, they alone, wh0 thus ¡pater them,
must be answerable for tho cona-equences."
B@„The Boston Medical and Surgical Jour-
..,1! recommends for choleraic attacks a prescription, which being translated, reads as
follows: I-audnnum, two drachms, (two tea-
spoonsful ;) spirits of cb^mphyr, one drachm ;
sweet tine tara of rhubarb, four drachms ;
aqua ammonia, (hartshorn,) half a dracm ;
oil of peppermint, fifteen drops. Take a tea-
spoonful iu hot sweetened water every iifte in
minutes, to allay the vomiting and pains.
DkSOttis of False Teeth.—At one of the
late anniversaries in Boston, a reverend
speaker wan earnestly pleading for the causo
wbioti bo represented, when a fine sot of falsa
tooth, which occupied his mouth, dropped out
upon tho floor. The gentleman was obliged
to regain poagesrfop of his wandering ivory,
