My dearly Beloved: You may won¬

trite, hacknied, and thread-hare quota¬

the delinquent latter, sick. stuffing ‘What folly,’ says

with endless iouendoes, insinuations
and duns, as if a person had time and
patience to read all the stuff he chooses
to print. ‘Pay the printer,’ Who don’t
know that. But he need not be in such
a hurry.- I don’t owe him much any
how. Let me see : two, three, four ;
ves, that’s all; oniy four years uext Ju¬
ly coming ; not due yet, and here’s one
continued, incessant ding dong—‘Pay
the printer.’ TJI quit patronizing him
if ht doel not rid nis columus of the
offensive nuisance. I reckon thcre*s
other things to pay for beside* the news¬
paper. There’s the store bill that has
not been paid these two years, and it
will be sued if I don’t pay it soon.—

thoughts; and yet, perhaps, as much
indebted.to him for your genteel ap¬
pearance beforAtke public, as the dandy
is to his tailor for his fashionable ap¬

The Power ot a Word.
A mother on the green hills of Ver¬
mont, was holding by the right hand a
son, sixteen years old, mad with love
of t he sea. And as he stood by the
garden gate oue morning, she said
“IJdward, they tell me—for I never saw
the ocean—that the great temptation
of a seaman’s life is drink* - Promise
me before you quit your mother’s hand
that you will never drink.” “And,”
said he (for he told me the story), “I
gave the promise, and I went the globe
over, Calcutta sud the Mediterauean,
San Fzauci 8 co aud Cape of Good Hope,
the North Pole and the South. I saw
them all iij forty years, and I never e»w
a glass filled with sparkling liquor that
my mother’** form by the gate did not
r i»o up before me, and to-day I am in¬
nocent of the taste of liquor.”
Was that not sweet evidence of the
power of a single word ? Yet that is
not half. ‘For,’ said he, ‘yesterday
there came into my counting-room a
man of forty years,*
‘Doyou know me?*
‘No.’
‘Well,’ said lie, ‘I was once brought
druuk into your presence on shipboard;
you were a passenger; they kicked me
aside; you took me to your berth and
Icept me there until I had sleot off the
intoxication; you then asked if I had
a mother. I said I had never known a
word from her lips. You told me of
yours at the garden gate; ail to-day I
am master of one of the packets in New
York ; and I came to ask yon to come
and see me.”
How far that little candle throws its
beams! That mother’s word in the
green hills of Vermont! Oh ! God be
thanked for the mighty powei of a sin¬
gle word. vf

Flirtation.
. The proximate cause of flirtation
said to be a wish to please, to be polite,
and to make the party pass off well; but
the primary one is, we fear, nothing but
a selfish wish to shine and to attract
praise. It may be all pleasant, but it
is certainly very wrong ; and w, being
wrong, it is stuped and unwise. Itgaem
against true propriety in b«U> sexes :
with a wom»n it is unfeminine as well

it be excused, and that class is a large

of both; L who are compounded of a
graceful desire fo please, and a contin¬
ual and selfish wish to be pleased, and
who flutter about from oue person to
another, saying tender nothings, and a
musing themselves in a butterfly way,
to the best of their ability, and to the
utter forgetfulness of everybody else.—
The only thing that we should do
with these pleasant little parties, is that
which Sam.Weller did to the Fat Boy,
when he tried to flirt with pretty Mary,
“Oh, Sam,’ said he, slowly, should’nt I
like to give her a kiss f Upon which it
is related that Sam with a long whistle,
took him into * comer .nd dismissed

a handful of flowers in green and daisy
