It is not etiquette *to dress in black in the morning, nor in colors in the eve ning. It is not etiquette to address a lady with out adding ber Christian name. To speak to a person, on any pretext, without having been presented; to knock at a door quietly; to have the smallest particle of mod npon tbo boot, even in the most unfavorable weather ; to have pence more land than any other in tbe whole state." “And so you have made a good thing of it. How much do you consider yourself worth ?” I asked, feeling a tittle curious to know what he considered a fortune, as be seemed to be so well satisfied with his. “Well,” he replied, “I don't know exactly how much I am worth; but I think (straigh tening himaeti up) if all my debts were paid' I should be worth three hundred dollar* clean cash.” And he was rich; for he was satisfied. The Utility op Swearing.—An esteemed friend sends os the following batch of ancc. dotes: A gentleman of my acquaintance, just returned from Sacramento, was giving an ac count of an individual whom he saw there, very well and favorably known in the financial com- munity, who was cooling himself in the lobby of the Legislature, while endeaving to get a cer tain bill through, which be believed would have a most important effect upon his fortunes. He was exceedingly nervous and anxious, but pos sessed such complete self control, and conceal ing his agitati >n under so calm an exterior, that a careless observer, noting his, among the nu merous careworn and anxious faces that fill the State House, would have considered him the most unconcerned person there.

T. B. McCormick, one of tbeir ministers, from the functions of tbe gospel ministry, until be repents, under tbe following ebarge and specifications : Charge—Unchristian conduct. First Specification—For associating himself with an association known as the underground railroad, whose avowed business is to assist slaves from slave to free territory. > Second Specification—For actually engaging in tbe business of assisting slaves in making tbeir escape from slave to free territory, which is contrary to the laws of the United States and statute laws of Indiana. Several of the witnesses stated that Mr. M. bad boasted to them of tbe number of slaves be had aided to escape, giving tbe names and pla ces in Kentucky from wbicb they bad escaped, and one of them testified that bo had heard him aay that be had never denied belonging to the underground railroad, and that be bad said in April in this year, in speaking ef the relative numbers taken to Liberia by colonization, and to Canada by underground railroad, that 10,000 had gone to Liberia and 35,000 to Canada by underground rail-sad., One of their papers stated that he visited one of bis ministerial brethren in Kentucky, partook of bis hospitalities* prayed with his family, and in the meantime arranged matters with his ser vants to make their escape. A Legal Anecdote.—The following anecdote used to be related of Hon. Jeremiah Mason, of New Hampshire, and is said to have occurred at Portsmouth. There is a well-known custom prevailing in onr criminal court, assigning coun sel to such prisoners as have no one to defend them. On one occasion, the Court finding a man accused of theft, without counsel, said to a wag of a lawyer who was present: “Mr. please withdraw with the prisoner, confer with him, and give him such counsel as may be best for his interests.” The lawyer and client with drew; and in fifteen minutes the lawyer retur ned into Court alone. “Where is the prisoner?" asked the Court. “Ho has gone; yonr honor told me to give him the best advice I could for his interest; and as he said he was guilty, I thought the best counsel I oonld offer him was to font and run,’ which ha took at once.” Cotton Crop-—The cotton crop has been again backward this year, bat the planters have maintained a fair price. The cotton Is rather less than last year, but has probably produced more money, while tbe planters have all arti cles of food in great abundance. Corn particu larly is with them in good supply. The crop, export, consumption and stock for several years, was as follows: COTTON CROP. Crop. Export. Consumption.

The war does not seem to have affected the consumption abroad, nor is it probable that it will during the coming year. The stock in England June 30, was 652,300 bales, against 1,053,700 bales for the same time last year; and the consumption for the first six months of the present year proceeded at the rate of 48,224 bales per week against 86,195 per week same time last year. In the United States, the consumption In the last six months of tho year, was much more rapid than in the first portion, as follows : Bale* taken by U. S. Spinner*. 1854. 1855. Deer. Sep.

Water in the Landscape.—" Water is to the landkoape as the eye to the Owe—tbe fea ture which imparts life and expression to all utbevs. Whether in large and lake-Uke bodies, o- small and rapid streams, it gives a vital pow er to all tbo surrounding soenery, which im presses itself with delightful effeot upon tho mind of tbo beholder. Fortunately, also, its power is not confined to its immediate vicinity. It sets upon the mind with scarcely less force when gleaming at a distance, or seen at inter** vats between thelbills and trees, than when olose at hand. Tbe effect of bills also (• to give a character to the country about them which can not be monopolized by any one loeality.

Yet the instant he perceived that any one observed him, every token of impatience, every sign of agita tion vanished and he presented the same unruf fled and placid exterior which was his wont. At this point of his description, ooe of his bearers broke in with, “That reminds me of old Captain Snow, who need to command a packet ship. His ordinary demeanor was as oool and polished as the substanoo whose name he bore. Always chesrfnl and attentive, kind and oompla- ceot, it was believed he never allowed anything to disturb his equanimity, and what was unusual in a sailor, be was never known to use a profane expression ; while his invariably polite man ners made him immensely popular with his pas sengers, who unanimously distinguished him as “the most gentlemanly captain in his line.”— One day, however, a passengersaw him go to a retired part of tbe vessel, and deliberately, with tbe great earnestness and energy, throwing his arm about tho while, and uttering volley after volley of well chosen oaths, in tbe most extrava< Pbote8Tant Sisters or Charity.—It is re ported that quite an extensive movement is now on foot among the ladies attached to some of tbe Episcopal churches in the City of New York, to found a religious order similar to to the Sis • ten of Charity. They have provided already a house where the ladies (wba must be single) meet, and after appropriate religious exercises, spend their time in making up garments for the poor and projecting plans to supply their neces sities. There are no vows taken, norany pecu liar dress worn, as they above all things desire not to be conspicuous. Among them, it is said are yonng ladies moving in the most wealthy and fashionable circles in New York society.— This movement is confined to what are known as tho Puyseyites, or High Church Episcopa lians.—Carolinian. ’ The ‘Talk’ at Washington—The correspon dent of the Baltimore Patriot alluding to the “happening in” of a few members of Congress to sooure lodgings for the long session, writes : The prominent topic is the Speakership of the House, and this is a question of vast moment. Several are the aspirants. In all snob oases, “many are oalled, but few are chosen." Amid the multiplicity of interests—Whigs and Denr Olive Culture 'in South Caronina.—Mr. Robert Chisolm, of Beaufort, has furnished the Agricultural Division of the Patent Office an ac count of his experience in the Olive culture: Mr. C. says that he has cultivated this tree for about twenty years, and has thus far been entirely racsessful. His trees were imported from the neighborhood of Florence, and have borne large quantities of fruit every year, in stead of only in alternate years as is tbe case in Europe. The grove of Olive trees number be tween three and four hundred fine specimens of this far famed tree, and is perhaps the largest in the United States. He adds: "I have suc ceeded successfully in picking the green fruit. Indeed, my pickled Olives have been without exception pronounced by good judges in Charles ton, fully equal to any French importation, and by some much better. I am of the latter opin ion, as they are less salty and more nutty Sa vored. I have twice received premiums from the South Carolina Institute for my pickled Ol ives. I have pickled them both to imitate the French and the Spanish, and have also made a tittle oiL” A Good Reason.—A grand jury ignored a bill against a huge negro for stealing chickens, and before discharging him from custody, the Judge made him stand reprimanded; he concluded as follows: “You may go now. John but (shaking his fin ger at him) let mo warn yon never to appear here again.” John, with delight beaming from his big white eyes, and with a broad grin, displaying a row of beautiftil ivory replied: “I woulnd’t bin dis time Judge, only the con stable fotohed me!” Loans tor the War.—In the present war in the East, the Sultan and his western friends have been put to some expense, as the following table indicates: gant manner.

I will be through in a few mo ments.

Who are our Teachers;—From Nature man derives everything.

Recife for Matrimonial Happiness.—Pre serve the privaoies of your house, marriage state, heart, from father, mother, sister, brother* aunt, and all the world. You too, with God’s help, build your own quiet world; every third or fourth one whom yon draw into it with you will form a party, and stand between you two. That should never be. Promise this to eaoh other. Renew the vow at eaoh temptation- Yon will find your account In it. Your souls will grow, as it were, together, and at last they will beeome as one. Ah, if many a young pair hod on their wedding day known this so- oret. how many marriages were happier than— alas! they are! Furniture.—As in dress, so in furniture—a . little taste is better than much money without it. There are certain articles which, if good, cost mnch, such as carpets and mirrors. But couches, loungeB, ottomans* and chairs may be quite cheap, and also very tasteful by the exer cise of a little art and industry. A common chair which costs a dollar, staffed and covered at the cost of another dollar, may be- a better and more beautiful article than one you may buy for ten; and five dollars and a few hours' labor will gire you a couch really more elegant, as well as more comfortable, than a sofa cuts fifty. Bat a good pianoforte, like a good mirror, has the element of cost, and to save n hundred dollars in one or twenty in the'other, is poor economy. Plate glass keeps its value ; and a good tone is worth more than all outside finish. Don’t make , your rooms gloomy. Famish them for light, and lettitem have it Daylight is very cheap; and candle or gas-light you need not use often. If yonr rooms are dark, all the effect of fornitore, pictures, walls, and carpet are lost. Finally, if yon have beautiful things, make them useful. The fashion of having a nice par lor, and then shotting it up all but three or four days iu the year when you have company; spending your own life in a mean room, shabbily tarnished, or an unhealthy basement, to save your things, is the meanest possible economy. Go a tittle farther—shat up your house, and live in a pig-pen! The use of nice and beau tiful things is to act npon yonr spirit—to edu cate you and make yon beantifal. Have an American Heart.—Have an American Heart. Have no other. It is the best heart that ever beat. Its pulsations are for liberty, for freedom, for republicanism—all that can bless the individual, give vitality and success to the State, and grandeur and strength to the nation. It is the heart oi hearts. Show us a man with a real American heart and we look upon him as one who is an honor to his kind, is a full-measured patriot, a firm and val* font defender of his country, a profound lover of its institutions. His heart is right- He will be sore to be right any way and how. Have an American heart It will swelllyour besom nobly. It will fill you with the grand* est of feelings- He who can say, “I have an American, heart and every throb is for Ameri ca.” has a possession the wealth of the richest of the world cannot paralleL It is a carious fact that there are about five hundred verses in Mathew's Gospel that are also in Mark’s; more than three hundred verses in Lake, and about one hundred and twenty that are also in Mathew. Nearly one-half of the Gospel by Mathew is to be found in Mark and more than one-third of the Gospel by Luke is to bo found in Mark or Mathew. While President Pierce was standing near the hotel at which he had taken rooms,” says the Charlottesville Republican of a recont date, “a tittle chap, of a few summers, finding, his hat band unbuckled, wentnp to the President and accosted him, ‘Fix my hat-band, sir.’ 'What is yonr name V said the President 'DeBree —‘Do yon know mo ?’ ‘Yes, yon are the President,’ said young Amerioa ; ‘fix my hat' band.'
