Never prove false to a friend ; In love and friendship be true ; Never prove false to a friend, So long as he’s faithful to you ; He may be dishonest, a knave ■ In other’s opinions, but then' To you he is generous aud kind, And one of the noblest of men. Is any man free from each fault, All righteous.and good in his ways? Lives there a woman on earth That she can be named but in praise? Never speak ill of a friend, To gossipers keep closed your ear; . An excellent rule in the main, Is to credit one-ten tb .that you hear. Stand by a man in distress When you know be is really in need ; What matter if even he falls, There is honor for you in the deed, That one may deceive you ’tis true. Then his and not yours the disgrace ; * Because we find one man untrue, Shall we wrong or distrust a whole race ? Censure a man for his faults, Give him honor when honor is due, But never prove false to friend 'So long as he’s faithful to yon ; Never prove false to a friend , In love and in friendship be true, * Never prove false to .1 It lend So long as lie’s faithful to you. 'Woman in Sickness. In no situation, and under no circumstances, does the female character- appear to • such advan tages as when watching beside the bed of sickness. The chamber of disease may indeed be said to be woman’s home. We there behold her loveliest, most attractive point of view*—firm, without being harsh; tender, not weak ; active, yet not quiet ; geutle, patient, uncomplain ing, vigilant. Every sympathetic feeling that so peculiarly graces the feminine character is there called forth ; while the native strength of mind which has hitherto slumber ed in inactivity, is roused to its fullest energy. With noiseless step she moves about the chamber of the invalid; her listening ear ever ready, to catch the slightest murmur; her quick, kind glance to interpret the unuttered wish, and supply the half-formed want. She smooths with careful hand the un easy pillow which supports the aching head, or with cool hand soothes the fevered brow, or prof fers to the glazed and parching lip the grateful draught, happy if she meets with one kind glance in pay ment for her labor of love. Hers, too, is the low-whispered voice, which breathes of life and hope—of health in store for happy days to come ; or tells of better aud heavenly rest, where neither sor row nor disease can come—where the dark power of death no more shall have dominion over the frail, suffering, perishing clay. Through the dim, silent watches of the night, when all around are hushed in sleep, it is hers to keep lone vigils and to hold communion with her God, and silently lift up her heart in fervent prayer for the prolonga tion of a life for which she would* cheerfully sacrifice her own. Aud even when exhausted she sinks to brief repose, forgetfulness is denied. Even in sleep she seems awake to this one great object of her care.— She starts and rises from her slum bers, raises her drooping head, and watches with dreamy eyes the face she loves, then sinks again to rest, to start with every chime of cldck or distant sound, which formerly had passed unheard or only served as a lullaby to her sweet sleep. An election held by the city of Jacksonville, Florida, to decide whether or no the city should be bonded to the amount of $>40,000 to liquidate the amount due the Florida Central and Atlantic and Georgia Railroad showed a majori ty against bonding, but a two thirds vote not being cast the election was abortive. Camp Meeting Talk. A chap down South w r ent to a camp meeting, and gives the follow ing amusing account of the dis jointed conversation he had there : Preaching had not begun, and promenading was in progress. He took a convenient stand and tried to catch the remarks of the various couples, as they went slowly by us. “Yes, indeed,” (two girls talking of course,) and my brother Tom says that Henry Sokef brags about how many times he has kissed he£ right iu the mouth, and she never slaps him at all, when nobody is by, and I am sure I should die if people was to talk of me as they do about her.” “ Corn is up again, you know, and I shall make at least six hundred barrels if I make a peck, and conse quently “ What a spectacle this is, to be suab, Chaw.

Mr. Greeley writes the following neat letter to the Typographical So ciety of Charleston, S. C., in an nouncement of honorary member ship : Gentlemen : I thank you for the generous opinion of me embodied in your letter of the sih ultimo, and for the eloquent language in which it is expressed.

At the celebrated battle of Rivoli, the conflict seemed on the point of being decided against him. He saw the critical state of affairs, aud instantly took his resolution.— He dispatched a flag to the Austri an headquarters with proposals for an armistice. The unwary Aus trians fell into a snare : for a few minutes the thmidfirs of battle were hushed. Napoleon seized the pre cious moments, and, while amusing the enemy with mock negotiations, re-arranged his line of battle, chang ed his front, and in a few minutes was ready to renounce the farce of discussion for the stern arbitrament of arms. The splendid victory of Rivoli was the result. The great moral victories and defeats of the world otten turned on five minutes. Man loiters, time flies ; and all the great interests of life are speeding on with the sure and silent tread of destiny. —lt was rightly said, “He who instructs a tnan instructs, a person who will die to-morrow, but he who teaches a woman teaches a whole generation.” Policy of Rich Men. It& told us the Rothschilds nev er tike into their employment any person who has been unsuccessful in the affairs of life, and that the fact of any man having failed in an un dertaking is in itself an absolute bar to his entering service. We do not know whether this story be true or fictitious, but if true, it does not prove that the .Rothschilds have ad opted the only wise course of t\c tion in this matter. For example, the great New York millionaire, and man of business, A. T Stewart, has /lor a (joarter of a century carried out a policy exactly opposite to that attributed to the Rothschilds, and has always been in the habit of tak ing into his employ men who have previously failed in business on their own account, not considering that one failure indicated an absence of capability on tl.eir part. He has probably at this time no less than one hundred of these merchants in his service iu various capacities at home and abroad. Most of them are men of middle age, but many are even older than that. He con siders them the most valuable and faithful of his subordinates, and ac knowledges how much they have done to build up his immense in terest. He not only gets the bene fit of their experience and kuowl <#lge, but many of them have been the means of bringing to him a large amount of business through their mercantile connections and acquaintances. He often takes iu men, who before theii failure, had been among his sharpest competi tors. By steadily pursuing this line of policy, lie is surrounded with thoroughly efficient clerks— men who know their business and guard His interests wisely. Marriage Maxims. A good wife is the gresatest earth ly blessing. A man is what his wife makes him. It is the mother who moulds the character and destiny of the child Never make a remark at the ex pense of the other; it is meaness. Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. Besides, it may be that you will not meet again in life. “ How gently glides the marriage life away When she who rules still seem but to obey!” Never both manifest anger at once. Never speak loud to one another, unless the house is on fire. Never reflect on a past action which was done with a good motive and with the best judgement at the time. Let each one strive to yield often est to the wishes of the other, which is the mutual cultivation of an ab solute unselfishness. Never find fault, unless it is per fectly certain that a fault has been committed ; and even then prelud,e it with a kiss, and lovingly. Never allow a request to be re peated, “I forgot” is never an ac ceptable excuse. Marry into a different blood and temperament from your own. Courting in Siberia. When once the young beau among the Ivorakas becomes infat uated, he makes known his passion to the father of his affinity, and ex presses his desire to strive for her hand. A kind of contract is imme diately entered into, by which the young man binds himself to the father as a servant, for a term of years, at the expiration of which time he can have the pleasure of learning whether the daughter will have him or not. In this manner, if the father be the happy possessor of a beautiful daughter, he may have half a dozen men to do his bidding at one time. When the term of servitude expires; one of the ’place, armed with thick sticks and pieces of seal thongs, is then stationed in the pologs suspended around the room The daughter then appeats, thickly clad in skin garments, followed by her lover, when a race ensues around the en closure, the contestants dodging about among the pologs. To win bis bride he must overtake her, and leave the print of his nail upon her person, before she can be rescued by the old during the race, impedes the lover as much as possible by beating him with sticks, tripping him, and by seizing his legs as he rushes by. The advan tage is all with the girl, and if she does not wisii to become the wife of the pursuer, she can avoid him without difficulty. On the contra ry if she likes him, she manages to stumble, or make known her wish es to the old woman, who then only makes a show of impeding her pur surer. Sometimes the lover is des perately smitten, and just after be ing foiled he returns to the father and binds himself for another peri od ot years to have the privilege of another trial. A correspondent of the New York World telegraphs from Wash ington that the canvass in Virginia, heretofore dull, is beginning to warm up. He concludes: “ The straight out element is exceedingly weak, and will not reach 1,000 votes. The majority for Greeley is estimated at 20,000, but will be largely over 30,- 000 if the October elections shall prove, favorable. There will be a very considerable colored vote for Greeley.” The time to possess your soul in patience is when your hat blows off in tha street and your eyes are j too full of dirt to see which way it ’ goes.

Why we Slioald Wear Beards. • There are more solid inducements for wealing the beard than the mere improvement of a man’s personal ap pearance, and the cultivation ot such an aid to the every-day diplo mancy of life. The hair of the mus tash not only absorbs the moisture and miasma of the fogs, but it strains the air from dust and soot of our great smoky cities. It acts also in the most scientific manner, by tak ing heat from the warm breath aa it leaves the chest, and supplying it to the cold air taken in. It is not only a respirator, but with a beard entire we are supplied with a com* sorter as well, as these are never left at home like the umbrella aud all such appliences when they are wan ted. Moftatt and Livingstone, 4h« explorers, and many other travelors, say that at night no wrapper can equal the beard. A remarkable fact is, too, that the beard, like the hair of the head, protects against the heat of the sun it acts like the that ch does the ice-house; but, more than this, it becomes moist with perspiration, and then by evapora tion, cools the skin. A man who accepts the protection of nature aay face ( the rudest storm and the hard est winter. He may go from thw hottest room into the coldest air without dread; and we verily believe he might sleep in a morass with im* punity; at least his chance of escap ing the terrible fever would be bet* ter than his beardless companions, —American Artisan. Svmpatiiy.—There is no class of society which is not humanized and liberalized, in feelings aud senti ments, by frequent and friendly in tercourse. We are born to sympa thize with each other in pleasure a* well as in grief. The social feel ings are improved whore amuse ments are anticipated iu ootnuon with our fellow-men; the mind warms and. expands, and becomes sensible to pleasures unknown to him whose enjoyments are but sol itary, who confines all his interest and happiness and concern to tbe«* narrow circle of his own selfishness. The soul becomes liberalized and enlightened when mingling in the society of others, and particularly* when sharing in their pleasures.—■ While, on the contrary, in solitude* the man becomes misanthropic and. selfish, contracted in his notions,., and filled with narrow prejudices. A Mechanic. A young man commenced ristiug a young lady, and seemed to be well pleased. One evening he had called when it was quite late, which led the young lady to inquire where be had been. “I had to work to-night.” “What! do you work for a liv ing ? ” she inquired in astonishment. “Certainly,” replied the young man, “ I am a mechanic.” “ I dislike the name of a mechan ic,” and she turned up her pretty nose. This was the last time that young* man visited that young lady. He is now a wealthy man, and has one of the nicest women- to the country for a wife. The lady who disliked the name of a mechanic is now the wife of a miserable fool—a regular va grant about grog-shops, and the. soft, verdant, miserable girl is obliged to take in washing to sup port herself and children. You dislike the name of amechaa ic, eh—you whose brothers are but well-dressed loafers. We pity any girl who is so verdant, so soft as to think less of a man for being a me* chanig—one of God’s noblemen, a most dignified and honored person* age of Heaven’s creatures. Beware young ladies, how you treat youog men who have to work for a living, for you may one day be a menial to one of them yourself. Far better to discharge the well-fed. pauper, with all his rings, jewelry, brazenuess and pomposity, atid to take your affections to the callouo hand, industrious mechanic. Thousands have bitterly repented their folly who have turned thoir backs to honesty. A few years have taught them a severe lesson. Fight your own battle*. How your own row. Ask no favors of any one, and you’ll succeed five thousand times better than one who is alv.ays beseeching some one’s in- • fluence or patronage. No one’ will be so heartily interested in your affairs. The first step will not be such a long one perhaps, but carving your own way up the mountain you make one lead to the other, and stand firm on that while you chop still an other out. Men who have made fortunes are not those who have five thousand dollars given them to start with but boys who have started with a wall earned dollar or two. Men who have-acquired fame have never been thrust into popularity by puffs, beg. ged or paid for, or given in friendly spirit; they have outstretched their own hands, and touched the pnblio heart. Men who win love do their own wooing, and I never knew a man fail so signally as one who induced his grandmamma to speak a word or two for him. Whether you Wor)t for fame, love or money, or for any thing else, work with your owm hands, and heart and brain. . »«r “I will, and somedayyou will con quer. Never let any man have to say, “I have dragged you up.” Too many friends sometimes hurt a man more than none at all.
