INDIANAPOLTS,

Judge Not. Judub not; the workings of liis brain And of liis heart thou canst not see; What looks to thy dim eyes a stain, In God's pure light may only be A scar, brought from some won field. Where thou wouldst only faint and yield. The look, tho air, that frets thy sight, " May be a token, that below The soul has closed in deadly light With some internal fiery foe, Whose glance would scorch thy smiling grace, And cast thee shuddering on the face! The full thou darest to despise ' May bo the slackened angels hand ' Has suffered it, that he may rise And tako a firmer surer stand; Or, trusting less to earthly things, May henceforth learn to use his wino-s. And judge none lost, but wait, and see With hopeful pity, not disdain, . The depth of the abyss may be The measure of the hightof pain, And lovo and glory that may raise This soul to God in after days! Housohold Words, . Importance of Punctuality. "Bbiiimd Time." A railroad train was running along at lightning speed. A curve was just ahead, beyond which was a station, at which the cars usually passed each other. The conductor was very lute, so late that tho period during which the down train was to wait had nearly elapsed; but he hoped yet to pass the curve safely. Sudenly a locomotive dashed into sight right ahead. In an instant there was a collesion. A shriek, a shock, and fifty souls were in eternity, and all because an engineer had been behind time. ' A great battle was being faup-ht. Column af ter column had been precipitated for eight mor tnl hours on the enemy posted on the ridge of a hill. Tho summer sun was sinking to the west; reinforcements for the obstinate defenders were already in sight; it was necessary to carry the position with one final charge or everything would be lost. A powerful corps had been sum moned from across the country, and if they arrived in time all would be right. The great conqueror, confident of its arrival formed his reserve into an attacking column, and led them down the hill. Tho whole world khows the result. Grouchy failed to appear; tho imperial guard was beaten back; Waterloo was lost. JNapoleon died a prisoner at St. Helena because one of Ins marshals was behind time. a leading nrni in commercial circles naa long struggled against a bankruptcy. As it had enormous esscts in California it expected remitances by a certain day, and, if tho sums promised ar rived, its credit, and its honor, and its future prosperity would be preserved. But week after week elapsed without bringing the gold. At last came the fatal day when the firm bad bills maturing to enormous amount. J. he steamer was telegraphed at day break, but it was found on inquiry that she contained no funds; and the house failed. The next arrival brought the insolvents nearly half it million but it was too late; they were ruined because their agent, in remitmg, had been behind time. A condemned man was being led out for exe cution, lie had taken human lite, but under circumstances of the greatest provocation, and public sympathy was active in his behalf. Thousands had signed petitions for a reprieve, a favorable answer had been expected the night before, and though it had not come, even the sheriff felt confident that it would arrive in season. Thus tho morning passed without the appearance of the messenger. The last moment was up. The prisoner took his place on the drop, the cap was drawn over his eyes, the bolt was drawn, and a lifeless body swung revolving in the wind. Just that moment a horseman came into sight, galloping down the hill, his steed covered with foam. He carried a packet in his right hand, which he waved partirflly to the crowd. He was the express rider with the reprieve. But he had come too late. A comparatively innocent man had died an ignominious death because a watch had been five minutes to slow, making its bearer arrive behind time. It is continually so in life. The best laid plans, the most important affairs, the fortunes of individuals, the weal of nations, honor, happiness, life itself are daily sacrificed because somebody is "behind time." There are men who always fail in what they undertake simply because they are "behind time." There are others who put off reformation year by year till death seizes them, and they perish unrepentant, because forever "behind time." The Allies have lost nearly a year at Sevastopol because they delayed a superfluous day after the battle of Alma, and came up to late for a coup de main just twenty-four hours "behind time." Five minutes in a crisis is worth years. It is but a little period, yet it has often saved a fortune or redeemed a people. If there is one virtue that should be cultivated more than any other by him who would succeed in life, it is punctuality; if there is one error that should be avoided it is being "behind time." The Currency for the Coming Twelve Months. As the time approaches when currency will be needed for the purpose of forwarding to the Atlantic the immense crops of the interior, the question becomes pressing as to the sources of supply. Thompson's Bank Note Reporter, has some interesting remarks upon this subject which we annex. Mr. Thompson has usually good facilities for obtaining the fullest information: "The paper currency of the country is already growing scarce the wants of the West are stintingly supplied by the New-England Banks. The losses and fright of last winter have made the Yankee Banks timid, and in some States the laws have been amended so as to stop the loaning of large amounts on any one set of names, or on any one class of securities. 1 The Banks of this State and the West must, necessarily, increase their circulation, or the country will be flooded with Georgia and Ten nessee money. The reduction of the currency for the past

The defects in the Free Bank nig Jaws of the West have been amended; even the live banks of Indiana are now perfectly safe. J. ho fact that the banks throughout the coutry (except Indiana) rodo out the storm of last Fall and Winter so successfully, establishes confidence in their promises to pay, and the certainty that our exports will for a year or two nearly balance our imports, thus destroying the fear of heavy specie drafts, lays the foundation for a safe and profitable expansion of currency. Paper money is the commercial lever of this great country; imports and exports are the power that move the lever; specie is the fulcrum; hence, so long as the war continues and wo have good crops, tho fulcrum is reliable and the lever can be used to advantage and profit." A Farm to Head About.- The Ohio State Journal gives tho following, description of the farm of Gen. Worthington, near Cliillicothe. While in Cliillicothe, a few days since, we availed ourselves of an opportunity of visiting the fine farm of Gen, Worthington, which is located about two miles north of the city, upon the high grounds that overlook the beautiful valley of tho Scioto. This farm contains about seven or eight hundred acres of the best land in the garden of Ohio, well supplied with the purest water, and adorned with magnificent groves of forest trees. Fruit of the choicest kind, and of every variety, are to be found in the spacious orchards, for there are several, while the grape and the melon vines that were growing luxuriantly on every hand, satisfied us that the General would never suffer from the want of friendly visitors during the grape and melon season. Figs from the land of Smyrna, frijoles from the plains of Mexico, and peas from the semi-civili.ed country of Japan, flourish in his well cultivated gardens, objects of curiosity to the strnger, and of pride and gratification to the well cultivated taste of the Annurol A 1 irrra efo -r -r f - -I .. bihty, comfort and convenience by his ancestor, the late Gov. Worthington, stands upon the bluff, from the top of which may bo seen a country all up nnd down the winding Scioto, that in our humbly opinion surpasseth anything that can be seen this side of Jordon. Fronting the farm on the east, at the foot of the hill, is a lake constructed by the General himself, from a marshy piece of ground containing about 15 acres, which is now stocked with various kind of fishes, that await his pleasure whenever he may 'choose to have them served up at his table. A large ice house, built upon the verge of the lake, stands conveniently ready to receive the frozen liquid into its capacious maw, whenever old winter with his hoary locks, may choose to present the offering. From this receptacle of one of the chief luxuries of summer, the General is enabled to supply the wants of the people of Chillcothe during the hot season. ' At a convenient distance from the tempting waters of this beautiful lake, the milk of fifty short horn durhams is kept, from the sale of which alone, the past year, the General realized the snug little sum of four thousand dollars. Eetribution Erie. We cut the following from the Erie Constitution: It will be frankly confessed by the candid observer, that no calamity has ever befallen an American city half so blighting and disastrous in its consequences as the result of the incomprehensible war upon the Lake Shore Railroad has proven to the city of Erie. In the dawn of the troubles Erie was buoyant with hope rich in the promise of future thrift, enjoying the good opinion and kind regards of the country; but alas! her morning glories have been suddenly obscured by an eclipse of adversity, which at present threatens to prove perpetual. It is said by the infatuated authors of this unparalled crusade of folly and crime, that the war is as yet just begun. If this bo true, we pity the fate of those who shall survive its close, for even thus far in its progress we find our treasury exhausted and burthensome debt contracted for our citizens to pay the rate of city taxation doubled the value of property depreciated our population diminishing daily, and all emigra tion hither closed against us by reason of our infamous reputation abroad. As an evidence of our retrograde march, look at our public houses, and the manner in which they are supported. Where is the American, the Perry, Banner, Lafayette, Franklin, Washington, Erie and United States Hotels, that were once . crowded with guests upon business and pleasure. They, like tired soldiers, have retreated from the ranks, leaving no necessity for substitutes in their stead. Look at our merchants and their complaints, the numbers that have already closed their shops and stores, and others preparing to weigh anchor as early as their crafts shall be trimmed for the voyage. Where are the crowds of merchants that until recently Were busily engaged in im proving building up, and beautifying the city? Ihey trom necessity have removed to regions where the arts of peace arc cultivated more, and the horrors or war practiced less than in Erie. SA rich man may wear a torn coat, threadbare' rest, or a worn hat; it is proper in him if it best suits his fancy; but a man .with moderate means must dress well, or he is despised by his fellows. The former may dress poorly, because he can dress better; the latter must dress well, because he cannot afford it. The man who has more money than he wants can borrow as much

as he pleases; the man who has no money and wants it, often experiences difficulty in borowing a dollar. Poverty travels barefooted over a rugged path; industry is harnessed to a carriage, and wealth rides in it. A Magic Table for Finding the Age of any

About Skirts. We have always been undo the impression that the Xre.s.cn.t.,lm.PJ.'.'i,c!p-.wS tion. We arc undeceived; there is a "lower depth," or rather, a broader breadth, nnd the Parisian ladies have found it. They have attained such a latitude that a true merveilleuse finds some difficulty in entering an ordinary doorway. We can no longer laugh at the hoops of our grandmothers; "we are producing equally great results with lighter means." The following conjugal dialogue gives a lively idea of our subject, and at the same time illustrates the praiseworthy docility of Parisian husbands. An ''elegante in her toilette du bal," steps into her carriage, which she and her skirts rather comfortably fill. ' Her I'.usband proposes to fol low when he is suddenly brought up by "My dear, what are you going to do? "Do? Why. get into the carriage, to be sure. "But there is no room!" replies the lady, growing visibly broader. "No room!" replies the astonished husband; "but, my dear " . "When I am en toilette certainly not; do you want me to arrive at the ball with my dress rumpled?" In the face of this frightful possibility, the husband is at once silenced. He however musters courage enough to say, "But I wish to go to tho ball, my dear. "And what prevents you, pray: Call a cab, or get up with the coachman." The poor husband not seeming to relish this affectionate suggestion, the lady proceeds, with a suspicion of sharpness in her tones that has a very visible effect. "Do as you please, my dear; but as for sitting with me, the thing is impos sible: do close the door, the air chills me, and tell the coachman to drive on, or I shall be too late." This cool proceeding achieved, the lady goes to the ball, and doubtless rouses the envy of many an unhappy bachelor who aon I Know when he is well off. A fashionable lady of the financial world has gone still farther Not content with excluding her husband from the carriage on these great oc- .. ...... , ,f ,i casions, she has had bunt lor nersen a venicie without seats. In this affair she goes to the ball, of course obliged to stand up during the drive. This, at first blush, seems inconvenient; not so her ingenuity has overcome the apparent difficulty. A velvet covered strap is so disposed as exactly to reach her waist, and against this she leans, supporting herself by two other hand straps, similarly covered. She thus arrives at the ball in full bloom, not a crease in her brilliant robe, nor a flaw in her coiffure, and as perfect as she left the hands of her dressing maid. The success of the lady .at her entree is, of course, prodigious. Her grace and wit complete the triumph, and after the fifth waltz and the fourth contre-dance she allows herself to become gracefully fatigued, and returns ta-licr husband's carriage, whom, in consequenlf her great success, she condescendingly allows to attend her home. Commissionaire. A Frightened Engineer. One dark night last week, at a quick succession of the sharp curves which distinguish the Cattawissa Road, the engineer of a lengthy freight train perceived to his horror a light apparently rapidly approaching, on the same track upon which he was whistling along. The disastrous effect of a collision flashed across his mind, and caused each indi vidual member of his capilary cranium ornamental arrangements to assume an erect position, to the. danger of his "Kossuth," as he hastily whistled "down brakes." After a fearful effort on the part of the now thoroughly frightened engineer, who still witnessed the light approach-

NO 2.

ing apparently nearer and nearer, tho train was stopped. Singularly enough, the light stopped simultaneously; but no whistle answered Lis; nothing but the reverberation of his own, sent back in mingled echoes from the adjoining mountains. The light burning brightly, still faced him, however. Struck by the mysterious aspect which the occurrence began to wear, an investigation was instituted, when it was discovered the engineer had stopped for the hind light on his own train. Sharp curves in that section of the I'kedentry." The yarn may appear tough, but is nevertheless tru. Wonder if the above didn't occur in the neighborhood df Tanners Creek? A Remarkable Man. There is a gentleman residing in this city who came hero 23 years ago from England, and brought with him some three hundred guineas of his own earnings, with which he commenced business as a grocer on a small scale. Little by little he increased his trade, and at the present time he is probably worth more than any other man in Massachusetts in the same line of business. During the period of 23 years, he never gave a note of hand or took one; he never sued a man and was never sued himself, nor was ever called on to a witness's stand, in any Court, during the whole period. He was never naturalized, and of course never voted, although he has paid thousands of dollars for State and county taxes. He has been known to buy a cargo of West India goods amounting to 890,000, for which he paid cash on delivery. He never deals in or drinks intoxicating liquors, never, gives a dollar for a charitable purpose where he thinks his name will appear in the newspapers, although he has contributed thousands to alleviate the distress of his fellow men. Can such another man be found in this or any other country? Reader, perhaps you would like to know his name, but you cannot from us, as we would not, for our right hand, do any thing to offend him. "When lie is gathered in, and sleeps with his fathers," then, and not till then, will his name be emblazoned and read by tho world. Boston (Mass.) Times. The Green Eyed Monster. One of the subeditors of the Evansville Journal gives the following rich scene as having occurred at Cario: A German deck passenger had been harboring the "green eyed monster" during the entire trip from N. Orleans, on account of some little attentions his wife received and seemed to court from a dashing starched up "Snyder" who, unluckily for the husband, was also a deck passenger. Shortly after the boat's arrival here, ho was (JAW" ami Ib'vfrTgiy fm'inni l,.&f iW JIJJ kiss. Calling her forwaiu, lie yia i.: e-t on the chalk of the boat. "Ah, Kathleen, you likes der tailor so better as me all der while, so mine Cot! I drowns my-' self ter death." : Overboard he plunged! The wife became frantic, and attempted to follow him but was restrained by the passengers. She fell upon her knees and agonizingly entreated her 'Shorge' to come back, but no George appeared; she promised unwavering constancy increased affection the spirit of devotion and submission he seemed so anxious she should manifest, but nothing save the ruffled waters gave response. She then shrieked for him again, when up from the water shiveringly came an answer. "I'am now so dead as ter tyful, if you kiss der Snyder once any time again; and if you no more kiss him and loves me so good and better as you love him twice vy den I comes back myself. I no likes der tamt tailor, him to get me for his brudder-in-law mit mein wife." A wild delirious cry of joy escaped the woman. She promised fidelity upon her bended knee, when slowly from beneath the guard of the boat emerged the half frozen Dutchman. He had managed to gain the cover of the guards undiscovered, and there supported himself above the water by the timbers. Kathleen has been a most devoted wife, and holds the tailor in utter detestation. 3TA very intelligent Irishman tells the following incident of his first experience in America. I came to this country several years ago, and as soon as I arrived hired out to a gentleman who farmed a few acres. He showed me over the premises, the stable, the cow, and where the coru, hay, oats, &c, were kept, and then sent me in to get my supper. After supper he said to me: "James, you may feed the cow and give her corn in the ear" I went out and walked about thinking, "what could he mean? Had I understood him?" : I scratched my head, then resolved I would enquire again ; so I went iuto the library where my master was writing very busily, and he answered without looking up, "I thought I told you to give the cow some corn in the ear." I went out more puzzled than ever. What sort of an animal must this Yankee cow be? I examined her mouth and ears. The teeth were good, and the ears like those of kine in the old country. Dripping with sweat, I entered my master's presence once more. "Please, sir, you bid me give the cow some corn in the ear, but didn't you mean the moulli?" He looked at me a moment, and then burst into such a convulsion of laughter, I made for the stables as fast as my feet could take me, thinking I was in the service of a crazy man. Loveliness. It is not in your neat dress, your expensive shawl, your golden fingers that attract the attention of sense. They look beyond these. It is your character they study. If you are triflino- and loose in your conversation no matter if you arc as beautiful as an angel you have no attraction for them. It is the true loveliness of your nature, that win and continue to retain the affections of the heart. Young ladies sadly miss it who labor to improve their outward looks, while they bestow not a thought on their minds. Fools may be won by the gew-gaw and fashionable showy dresses; but the wise and substantial are never caught by such traps. Let modesty be your dress. Use pleasant and agreeable language, and though you may not be court-" ed by the fjp and the sop, the good and truely great will love to linger in your steps.
