Your balance sheet will always be a pleasant document to study.— The amount you have in the bank, the property you hold, the stock you own, will be the trite representatives of your means. Pay as you go, and when you die enjoy,the satisfaction that there is but one debt left behind you. If you have not. anything, the undertaker's bill will not be very heavy too small to trouble you very much afterwards. Xext to having money enough, the most comfortable thing, in a financial aspect, is to owe nothing to any man.— Pay every-body as vou go, but pay the printer in advance.

REMAINS

"Pay as You Go." What, not avail myself of this Capital opportunity for a bargain, just because the money is not in my pocket? There are a great many snug fortunes made by buying on time. But our mercantile friends who draw most largely on their credit, will agree

with us in advising a young man to 'pay as you go.' A .sixpenny loaf of bread without butter, and no debt on it, has a better relish than your best dinner that is to be paid for to-morrow. The potatoes that are paid for before eating them have no bitter taste, while a coppery flavor mingles with the vanilla of the creams that are bought on credit. Cash lards handsomely the leanest beef. Credit makes the fattest slices shrink in the pan. Jf you pay us as you go, very likely you will fall astern of your bold speculating neighbor, but you will have your vessel in a better trim for a squall.— Men do not always get rich very rapidly

who adopt the motto, but very seldom can make out to fail. ,It may be hard for the rnan and yet without being masculine, she to get rich, but it is harder for other peo-J

pic to suffer very bitterly on account of cisicn, more firmness, more enterprise, their poverty. '1 he man who pays as he

of Arthur Spring-was taken to the di recting room of the Philadelphia College of Medicine on Saturday, and anatomically examined by Professor James McClintoek in the prcsehce of Dr. Kirkbride, Dr. Fvans, nn several physicians and other scientific gentlemen, and the students of the medical class. The Bulletin says: "The phrenological dcveloponvnts of the head of the murderer were characteristic of the man. The head was large, beingover 22 inches in circumference. The perceptive faculties were strong and the reilective weak. Benevolence and other organs, -which are indications of a good disposition, were found to be very poorly developed. while selfishness and firmness were large, and cautiousness were well developed. Soeiviiveuess was large, and the animal organs, such as combativeness, and destructiveness. were enormous. The base of the brain was very large. The forepart of the head was very small, and the back very large, indicating sensuality and cruelty. The Professor styled the cranir.m of the deceased a "bull dog head/'

JC-zT' The following incident is said to have occurred at Xew Orleans, during the invasion of that quarter by the British.— After the battle of the 23d Dec. 1314, in which both armies received nearly the same injury, a subaltern British officer was sent to the American lines with a flag of truce. Being detained little, he began to converse with a corporal in our service, rc-

who had repeatedly vanquished the best veterans of the continent of Europe, and were commanded by J^ord Paekenham, Jjcrd P'cton, Zorrf Kean, aud many more of the ablest Generals in Europe." To this the corporal replied indignantly,

—The fashions in millinery and dress-ma-king present the usual features. Fingers are very much worn—nearly to the bone —-kirts and accounts are still very long, while bodies, particularly those who think themselves somebodies, are excessively low, with a great deal of stiffness and a quantify of bone about the place where the heart is likely to comt, if there happens te be any. In the evening dress, the petticoat is UMiallv very full, and the pocket often very emplv. The material of the bosom is frequency f/hirr. and covered with a transparent ti-.sueof imitation stuff, which may be seeii through easily. Flowers are not much worn this season in the ha.., but the cheeks are got up as usual with artificial ro~es.— J'toi'-h.

A long article in Blackwood, for

May, upon '-Spiritual Manifestations," thus humorously and caustically closes:

Keep your mind easy dear reader! You are not one whit more likely to be disturbed by ghosts than your father or grandfathers were, and you may set them thoroughly at defiance. Comport yourself Well, and you may be assured that neither }*our shaving brush nor razor will spontaneously smash the window—go to church regularly, and we shall give our guarantee against your being affixed to the ceiling. Be easy on the score of your furniture until you observe it to be inconveniently locomotive, in whi. case, no doubt, will be able to dispose of it to some railroad company. And, above all things, despise humbugs, and do not follow in the wake of men who are called, or call themselves, philosophers.— Many scientific men, in matters of reasoning, are asses and it is a mercv that it is so, since otherwise, through their crude conceits, they would destroy the equilibriam of the material world.

SEVENTEEN SKELETONS I NEAUTIIEP! A number of workmen making excavA-.J tions at the base of Bergen Hill, across themeadow, just back of Hoboken, New York,g lor the new plank-road from Patterson, ac .S eidentslly unearthed

sixteen or scrcntccn hu-i

the most of them in a toler-j

able state of preservation. Some rncdica^ gentlemen having been informed of the cir /j cumstance, repaired to the spot, and gave it as their opinion that the bones were those of tke Red Men", who at some an'te-i^jflu-, tionary period had lighted their watch-fires and reared their wigwams on those roeaaiT-. tic slopes. The dimensions,of one of tke sc. skeletons show thaWtherc were "giants on the earth in those days," his measurement,, being something like'^sgyen feet, afu! his whole frame in other respects surpassing"1 that, of ordinary men. The others seemed to be about the average length and build. It is thought that the largest skeleton was a Chief, or a Brave among his tribe, and several articles which have been fou.ad'in. the earth where he was interred, lead onct to conclude that at all events he had been a person of distinction among them.

His remains appeared to have been originally enclosed in a box—but his wooden enclosure had long since been eaten away, by the tooth of time. Twelve wrought iron spikes each about three inches in length were fastened around his^Jrame. ,JSY\ar by,, were discovered thirty or for'tt cannon balls, weighing six pounds each. The skeletons were dut from a little hillock cover-

ed over with a smooth surface of grass, no doubt a veritable Indian mound, so often discovered in the Western country.—Louitscillc Courier.

BKAl'TiFni EA'TKACT..-•: Wc find the following rare gem in a southern paper, and really consider it too beautiful to be lost. It bears the appearance of a beautiful extract from some sermon, and is really worthy of a careful and attentive perusal. We' trust our readers will read .nd ponder:

Have you made one happy heart to-day? How calmly can you seek your pillow, how sweetly sleep? In all this world, there is nothing so sweet as giving comfort to the distressed, as gutting a sun-ray into a gloomy hea.'t. Children of to-morrow meet ws wherever we turn. There is no moment that tears are not shed and sighs uttered.

Y*et,..how many of those .sighs, thosctears are caused by our own thoughtless-, ness! Ho'V many a daughter wrings the soul of a fond mother bv acts of unkindness and ingratitude. How many bus bands, by one little word,' make a whole day of sad hours and unkind thoughts!— How many wives, by angry recriminations, estrange and embitter loving heart.-/? How' many brothers and .sisters meet but to injure and vex each other, making wounds that no human heart can heal?

And if each one worked upon this max im, day by day. striving to make some heart happy, jealousy, revenge, madness, hate, with their kindred evil associates, would forever leave the earth. Our minds would be so occupied in the contemplation of adding I" the pleasure of others, that there' would be no room for the ugly fiends of discord. Try it, discontented devotees of sorrow, self-caused, it will make that little part of the world in which vou move,an Eden.

The happiest man in this world is supposed to be 'a nigger at a dance.' in our opinion this rule is too limited. A 'nigger' is not only happy at a dance, but in every other position. A darkey may be poor, but he is never low spintc I Whatever he earns he spends in fun and deviltry. Give him a dollar, and in less than an hour he will lay out seven shillings of it in vellow neck ties or a cracked violin. There is something in the African that sheds trouble' as a duck will water. Who ever knew a 'cullerd pusson' to commit suicide? The' negro is strongly given to love and jealousy but he has no taste for arsenic.
