No better exemplification of the old adage that hqnegty is the best policy, was ever kpo wn than in the person of our esteemed fellow-citiz-’n, J. Well ington Binks. Born of rich but hon est parents, he early developed that dig nity which so well became the mature man. Foresha lowings of business in tregrity, marked John’s early career. He earned his first dollar by procuring his mother’s wedding ring in a master ly manner, in the dead hour of the night, and pawning it at Simpson’s for the aforesaid dollar. The pawn ticket is now deposited as a sacred relic in tbe archives of the family. John never played ‘hookey’ like dis honest boys who deceive their parents, and in playing maibles Le had, no t qua!. II he was excessively lucky his dig nified demeanor disarmed suspicion of dishonesty. In swapping knives he was most successful. Procuring from his companions by honestly borrowing such knives as they had partly deplet ed of blades, he effected trades with the more fortunate companions who had new knives that dnl not exactly smi them, on highly favorable terms H s favorite method of accomplishing tue object was, rs it were by ajcident, partiaily exhibiting a portion of an at tractive knife handle to his eager as sociates, and then in ins gushing feel ings offering to swap unsight and un- st with a boy be knew to have ii his possession a desirable piece of pock et cutlery. If John discovered eggs lying around loose in any of the neighbors’yard, lie carefully removed them Jest they should be stolen or destroyed, so'd them to the market man, and carefully hoarded away, the money for some great charity in the future. We think we have sufficiently shad owed forth the main characteristics that beautified our hero, in early days, and susbtaiiual reward that ^waited him in afu r years. At the age of eighteen, John having finished his education at one of our most celebrated universities, lie tesolv- frfi1. cfeftJ'\W irff^mnreiofta country friends, a feeling of gloom and despondency was thrown over the en tire community ; all efforts to dissuade him from the act failed, and his parent finally gave a reluctant consent. The family ti unk, bound in seal skin, and profusely embellished with what had once been brilliant brass nails, was troughtfrom its venerable retirement, the continental uniform of John’s late lamented grandfather, Major Binks, taken out and packed lgnormouslv in the lower part of the chest of drawer? which occupied a prominent position in the att c, and John’s wardrobeSj after being car, fully looked to, was packed in the trunk. The next morning’s stage took from the village the one boy of all, who was most loved and respect ed, Although the stage left at an ear ly hour, there was a :arge attecdance of regretting friends, who, after a series of cheers, made tremulous by sad tears, waved their handkerchiefs and hats un til the stage disappeared in the dun dis tance. We now have our hero fairly launch ed on the world, and we wonder if the same high and honrable sentiments will continue to govern the man which have animated the boy. There nee-l have been no fear, a youth so full of honest promise and stern integrity, u ; d but lead to an honorable and bril liant career. Wellington, from the. high testimoni als he brought vyitb him, had little diffi culty in procuring a desirable'position with rne of pur prominent merchants. Early ant\ late we find our hero at his task earning his wages aud winning the confidence of his employer. As cash ier he had ihe management of the fin ancial portion of the business, and his balance sheets were models ol correct figuring. Sundries were occasionally charged to ‘amounts expanded,’ and these sums were carefully hoarded by Binks for future charitable operations. As the charitable fund increased it was carefully invested in up-town lots, which promised a safe and speedy prof it. Wellington throve, wealth grew with his age, his employer having fail ed from too much ‘sundries, 1 Bmks hir ed the store, manfully resisting the im portunities of his late employer fora position in the new establishment. John managed bis affairs with the same care he had that of his employer. Real estate in the locality where’ Well- ing:on had invested his charitable fund rapidly appreciated in value. Binks was now on the high road to wealth, unsolicited hornorseame thick and fast, a target company aolioited the honor of adopting the name of the Binks Tar get Company. In accepting the honor he spent seven dollars and a half in silver pitchers, castors, butter knive-’, and other silver ware. He was un animously nominated for the legislature, but declined the nomination through other business engagements. A dull season arriving, Binks rek>lved to close up his business and retire to a private life to enjoy his ease and dignity. 1 fro like a careful, honest husbandman. lyt John bad always-been, he had his stock 0$ goofeinBBTcd at as high a figure as THE CENTRAL G1 RATES OF ADVERTiafffGr- - *9 .

' the surveyors would allow, then care fully and secretly reducing stock as much a? possible, preparations were made for reading on the balance of the stock at insurance valuation. . 1 A pile of shavings, old box covers, etc., etc., well saturated with kerosine,’ were arranged one night after all . the' clerks had gone home. That he might see how to arrange the pile correctly, a burning cradle was put in the rub bish. Binks carefully locked the store door, forgetting to put out the candle, and went home to sleep the sleep of the just. About two o’clock, when church yards had seased to yawn, and all the police were asleep, or carnfortablY housed with certain lady friends on their beats, Binks’ store wa? in an ac tive state of combustion ; before the alarm was given the building was past all hope. John read in the morning paper, which !;lie servant ha,d previous- if ca r t fully aired, a full account of the. destructive conflagration which had occurred during the night. ‘The mam moth establishment of Hon. J. Well ington Binks was totally destroyed, supposed to have been caused by a de fective flue, partially insured.’ Binks was consoled by his friends, and corr^- miserated by the entire community. The Insurance Companies hastened to pay what could only partially [?] c mpensate the merchant for this try ing dispensation of Providence. Thft business was closed up, creditors were urged to pay up accounts by the use 'of certain legal formalities, and debtors were ready to compound their claims at a reasonable deduction, in consider ation of the feeling arguments of Binks on the great loss he had sustained. The uptown lots promised to be very desirable, and to increase their desira bility, Binks resolved to build a church on the premises, that the Gospel might be disseminated, and the people be in duced to make their residence under the droppings of the sanctuary. The charitable were appealed to assist in constructing the church, which was to tie the saving means of grace to thous ands yet unborn. Ti e appeal was .-ucce-sful, the church wa,s constructed, and lots rapidly appreciated in value. Hon. J. Wellington Banks, wa? unani mously elected Treasurer of the churclt, and so well did he manage the disburse ments that a handsome sum was added to the afore-mentioned charity funds ('/) Binks, now on the high road to for- ['Ifwnrh -> naix ‘gehnrfircfl his previous career. The lots sold well, the ehu ch was prosperous, and Hon. J. Wellington Binks was happy. He was an exemplification of the adage, be. honest and you will be happy. Among the great and good of New. York, no name is more prominent than that of J. Wellington Binks, and when he dies a monument will be erected to his memory bearing for an inscription, (Latin.) ‘Majorist excellentii Binks, Hie Jacet, or any other man.’ l’tie moral of this tale is so self evi dent that we forbear to the sensibilities of our readers with a recapitulation. Falling in Love.—The man who likes chatty women finds his doom io^ a girl who never opens her lips; cynic who hates bread and butter trein- bles before a miss in her teens;, prim young neophite of the parsonago worships the horsiest of Dianas. No doubt there is a method in all this mad ness, and a philosopher yet to come will rescue this bit of outlying exis tence from the realm of caprice. But, as yet, nobody has brought love with in the calculat'on of chances. It is just as impossible as it was in the days of our forefathers to predict whom we shall fall in with. It is still as dYffkluKj as it ever was to decide who is likely to fall in love with ns. The only re sult which comes of meditation on the subject is a sort of conviction that, un der certain perfee ly in xplicable con- d.tions, it is possible for auybody to fall, in love with anybody else.— Saturday’ Review. Honesty.—Sell a drunkard a glass of liquor, and pocket the money if you will ; but for honesty’s sake do not call the transaction honest. Remem ber that you have exacted pay, not merely without a valuable service, but fora positive injury; and that you shield yourself (as tb? dirate shields himself) under the laws 5f the commu nity to which you belong. When in trinsic, eternal justice shall make re quisition, shall such transactions stand? Men of Fine Feelings.—Men of fine feelings fascinate through a certain af- feaionate watchfulness of the iittle wants of others, through a divining of their most softly whispered wishes, and a cont;ipual racrifice of their own; through politeness, whose silked bands. tw(ae more gently and closely round, our hearts than do the rough cords of one great benefit. Flanders.—Let no one suppose that by acting a good part through life He will escape scandal. There wilt, be those even wlro hate them lor the very qualities that ought to procure esteem. There are some folks in the world \yhbv are not willing that others should* be better than themselves. Avarice in old age is foolish ; for what can be more absurd Than increase our provisions for the read the nearef we approach tq pur jom j^y’s «^d '*■ ■ - r •—-
