Never attempt to expose a villain if your efforts in so doing are likely to injure the unsuspecting dupes of bis artifice. Never wager more than you carry in your pocket. Never shake hands with a man if yon are not glad to see him. Never forget, when yon meet, to recognize your friends, and be even more careful to ofTer your salutation to those who are poor. Never run extravagantly into debt, for it is the by path which leads to moral destruc tion. Never quarrel without sufficient cause, but if it be necessary that you take up a quarrel, then see that you quarrel firmly to the end. Never be tray the confidence of any oue, espe cially a woman. —Large quantities of specie are con stantly passirtg through Chattanooga, from New Orleans to New York.
