From the Liberal Ilevlew.f*3 TO A 1)1 EH. .1

Til® toady is very efficient at using othj/r men's brain*, anil passing them 'WIfHs his own, and it rarely happens X^/iit ho does not rise in the world. He the embodiment of iution, and is tlways careful to be upon tho right side, ..'henevor there are two or more sides to a (juestion. tho right side being, ol ijurse, the winning one. As a rule, ho will pledge himself to 110 one p.irticu lar party, but just as a party is entering upon power it is certain to lind him heart and soul with it. He avoids meddling with questions about which it is douibtful which way nubile opinion will jyn when it is evident that

Trasuro will become truly popular, he (will advocate it with all the heart and yuml he possesses—which, however, is 'not very much. Thus, he often gets the credit of being a wise man, and *tr-scciug 111.m, and a mail who has got ie interests of his followeroatures at onrt. I In is very careful as to who re his acquaintances. It is 0110 of hi* ^iriuciplbs never t(. have much to do iSvith thoso people who could do nothing to advance his interosts, but is ready to attach himsel''to tho skirts of souu powerful man, whose arguments lie ro echo and to whose utterances he will miy ditto. Upon no 0110 point can ho bring himself to disagreo with his nitron, lie is perfectly aware that it lie is content to oat a sufficient quanti ty ol humble pie, and is careful meanwhile to fortify his position, as the powerful man rises so must he rise, until aUl ist he reaches the pinnacle of his ambition. He Is always to be found hanging about in the society those people about whom there is an undoubted air of respectability, and is (ireful that those who bvlong to him •M*li d° the same, ffe Is rarely heard \M»*y an unpleasant thing, or known to do a generous act. lie is rich in promises, it is true, but it Is generally found that those who depond upon him gat more pleasant things said to them than tangible benefits given thom. llehind tho scenoti, where nobody is looking 011, he Is not quite so polite. -Thoso who do work in secret for him get little thanks and loss pay. He is •ver on the look-out for opportunities to reap the fruits of other men's labour.

In his business, ho utilises schemes which have beau tho thought of other len's lilcllmos. It Is rarely that he lies a new scheme himself. He waits nt 11 it is evident a thing can be made (i answer, and then he steps in. He op* a sharp look-out for new patrons, for when one patron can help him no higher he quietly (Irons him and plays tho toady to another, lie and his family never form a friendship with a family about whose social status there is it fthadow ol a doubt nor, indeed, do thoy /brtii a friendship with any one which VHiynot be dropped when convenient. ry doubtful whether he is e.tpale of friendship in the true meaning of he word—friendship which would renit in 110 gain, direct or indirect, to lim. Certainly he would not indulge ill a sentimental friendship which vhuld retard his getting on in the world. itt though he is an ailept at dropping eople, wnen it suits his pur|nse to do it- is almost impossible to dron liipi. can hardly insult him, he is ltnperous to slights, and will demolish, *tl»nut a grimace, Any quantity ol ^nnble pie. lie knows he can advance 'uneif in no other way than by st.ckiX to neople who can advance him, ad I10 »s loo sensible, for mere sentiucntal grievances, to throw up his chance of advancement. He feels a lay of reckoning may come meanwhile ean vent his spleen upon thoso tintekv individuals who are completely tder his thumb, njid whose brains it hands *re at his disposal.

Vho toady loves the applause and opinion of tho world. To thisend lYequently enters public life. Once hemltor of Parliament, or a town ttcillor, and he ise*r©ful never wll-: toen lan^r his seat. Ho idcntlhimself with 110 unpopular move-

Is he makes no inflammatory bos. He does his best to conciliate purry favour with all parties, lie |d never think of pro|K»lng

If every one else were txmtt r, [things go on as they arc, he would |l content lo do so, loo. Hut if tv is imperatively demanded he |it risl» Ins popularity by oppn-i--he will, indeed, it vail him*cU ul ||Hirtunity and speak in favour

He iV avs fWls very iin-: le. and ii iv tie predates any ,i:~ I'll the 1 van of people to demonLhal ai. thr world are not ti^aiiy jfortat ho is. He takes a "wy pw of th ni -fs generally, ami not veil a jrecital 01 uif mi^rr can tloairoy his airy 11. 1 fulnww. £le is instantly i•• 'uxik-ciii fbr good things tor and hi?^ He ready, upon -tli \nalons, lend a helping hand t* 5.t)d«»ryt when th.: t? 'iiything to be m.d. An ,r. he is so wry polite. very nnosulatious. and vorv imvk.

fortn—when all the real flghtlntris done —and they applaud their disinterestedness. The toady has not sufficient faith in his powers Uv institute any important undertaking, and. therefore, rarely appears but as a follower of other men. He is one of the worst enemies to progress because be is an enemy in disguise. It is somewhat surprising that Englishmen, who are supposed to love blunt, out-spoken honesty should be deceived by him. He is to be met everywhere, and is ever pursuing the same tactics When a man is always polite and smil ing it is sufficient proof that hg is in sincere.

A FINE PAIJ.—TDj amusing little incident hero related actually took place in a court-room in one of the Southwestern States, less than a century ago:

Knterjuror, who had detained the court at least an hour. Judge (much irritated)—Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of twenty-five dollars against \Jr. Smith.

Smith—Did I understand your Honor to fine me twenty-five dollars? Judge—Yes, sir.

Smith draws his pencil and addresses the following note to his Honor. "Dear Judge: Tint little difference fipon winding up our little game of 'draw' amounted to just fifty. Pav the clerk that 'twenty-five, and hand the balance to the sheritr. "Yours, etc.. SMITTI.'

The Sherifl handed the note to the Judge. Tho judicial frown instantly gave place to a most benevolent and satisfactory smile, as his Honor stammered out: "Ah—yes! certainly—yes—valid ex cuse! certainly! valid excuse—certainly! The clerk will remit Mr. Smith's line."

IiofeKNWKio, the abortionist, has been sentenced to seven years' hard labor in the Stato Prison. Which is a light sentence for the crime of which ho w.is convicted. And yet his jury put in a plea for mercy in his behalf This comes of sifting every man of intelligence and character, every man who reads tho papers and has an intelligent opinion of what takes place in the community, out of those drawn lor jury duty, and taking tho ignorant, worthless"material that is left. Our courts would seem to be conducted in tho interest of criminals.— Golden Age.

For this purpose scows aro moored in the river to accommodate tho working parties. A steamboat passing the scows tho other day, a passenger hailed one of the negroes at work with
