If we would but check the speaker, 'When he spoils his neighbor's fame, If we would but help the erring, Ere we utter words of blame 5 If we would, how many might we Turn from paths of sin and shame. Ah. the wrongs that might be righted If we would but see the way ; Ah. the pains that might be lightened Every hour and every day, If we would but bear the pleadings Of the hearts that go astray. Let us step outside the stronghold Of ou: - selfishness and pride, Let us lift our fainting brothers, Let us strengthen etc we . hide ; Let us, ere we blame the fallen, Iloldja light to cheer and guide. Ah. how blessed--ah. how blessed Earth would be if we'd but try Thus to aid and right the weakej, Thus to check each brother’s sigh ; Thus to talk of ditty's pathway Tootn better lite on high, In each life, however lowlv, There are seeds of mighty good ; Still we shrink from souls appalling With a timid * if we could,’ But a God who judgeth all things Knows the truth is. ‘ if we would.’ Courtesy Pays. —A courteous man often succeeds in life when per sons of ability fail. The experience of every man furnishes frequent in stances where conciliatory manners have made the fortunes of physi eians, lawyers, divines, politicians, merchants,and indeed, individuals of all pursuits. In being introduced to a stranger, his affability or the reverse creates instantaneously a prepossession in his favor, or awakens uneonciously a prejudice against him. To men civility is, in fact, what a pleasing appearance is to women, it is a general passport to favor —a letter of recommenda tion written in a language that ev ery person understands. The best of men have often injured them selves by irritability and consequent rudeness 5 whereas men of inferior abilities have frequently succeeded by their agreeable and pleasing manners. Of two men, equal in all other respects, the courteous one has twice the advantage, and by far the better chance of making his way in the world. Success in Life.—To grow rich is not to make mere money, but to spend less. If one is not accumula ting money as fast as be thinks lie ought-, the remedy in nine cases out of ten is not greater exertion to make money, hut greater care to save it. Indeed, he who saves money systematically, putting away a part, or each week’s or each day’s earn ings, is rich already. Ilis means ex ceed his necessities, and that is wealth always. If people generally would conduct their affairs on the principle above inculcated there would be comparatively little busi ness anxiety and much greater com fort and happiness in the household. The Cost of Our Recent War. Mr. David A Wells has furnished the Cobden Club of England with an essay upon the expenses, income and taxes of the United States. We copy the following statement of the cost of the Rebellion ; The whole cost of the war to the Northern and Southern States from 1861 to 18C6 is estimated asfollotvs: Lives, 1,000,000 ; property, by de struction, waste, etc., $9,000,000, 000, The gross expenditures of the United States from June 1861 to July 1866, $5,792,257,000. Of this the actual war expenses were about $5,342,237,000 The expenses of States, counties, cities and towns in the Northern States, not represeYited by funded debts, have been estimated at S2OO, 000,000 Total war expenses of the National Goverment, $6,165,237, boo. The estimated direct expenditures of the Confederate States on ac count of the war were $2,000,000', 000. Aggregate estimated expenses of the war to the country, North and South, $8,165,237,000. The total receipts from all sources during the second year ot the war were less than- $42,000,000. The expenditures were 60,000,000 per month—at the rate of $700,000,000 a year. There is scarce any lot so low but there is something in it to satisfy the man whom it has befallen; Providence having so ordered things that in every man’s cup, how bitter soever, theie are some Cordial drops—some good circum stances, which, if wisely extracted, are sufficient for the purpose he wants them —that is, to make him Contented and, if not happy’, at least resigned.— Sterne. A Doctor’s Story. BY D. a. PARKER. lam a doctor. 1 live in one of the most crowded localities of one of our larger cities. I am not ashamed to say that I live there, because I find it a bet' ter place for a young physician’s practice than the more fashionable streets. The word doctor is a talisman for poor folks. They do not wait to ask “What reputation has he?” Besides poor pople are often ill ; oftener break their limbs, and have more sick children at rt time than those who are better oil. I had been in my present place two years, and had never had a pa tient from the more aristocratic circles when one night, about half past eleven I was startled by a vio lent ring at my bell, and having just composed myself for a nap, af ter a hard day’s work, 1 can’t say the summons was agreeable. However, I ran to my window at once, and thrusting my head oitt in to the rain, cried: “Who is there ?” A voice answered ; “Only I, doctor. It’s an urgent case. Please come down to the door.” That a lady spoke I felt sure—a lady <>f education and refinement. I hurried down-stairs and open ed the door. There stood, in the full light of the hall lamp, an elderly lady dress ed in mourning. Her face, though wrinkled, was very fine in feature. Her hair was arranged in elegant puffs under a handsome bonnet. She put out the smallest of hands in a fine black kid glove, and cried piteously : “Are you the doctor ?” “Yes,” I said. “Then come with mo,” said she. “Dont delay. It’s life or death.”— I hurried on my overcoat, caught up my umbrella, and offering my arm to the old lady, walked down the street with her. “Fou must bo my guide, mad am,” I said. “I do noi know where you live.” She instantly gave me a street and number that surprised me still more. It was a most aristocratic quar ter. “Who is ill, madam?” I in quired; “a grown person or a child?” “A young lady—my daughter,’ she said. “Suddenly ?” “Yes, suddenly,” she answered. “Cure her, and I’ll make you rich ; cure her, and I’ll give you anything you ask. I don’t care for money.— I’m wealthy. Cure her, and I’ll shower gold on you.” “You are excited, madam.” I said. “Pray be calm.” “Calm !” she said ; “calm. But you don’t know a mother’s heart.” We had readied the street she had indicated, and were at the door of one of its finest mansions. The old lady ascended the steps, and opened the door with a latch key. A low light burnt in the hall; an other in the parlor, the furniture of which was draped and shrouded in white linen. “Wait here, sir if yoti please,” she said, as she led me in. “I’ll see if my daughter is prepared for your visit” And with a sweeping courtesy she glided away, and I heard her garments rustle up the stairs in a ghostly sort of fashion. I waited what I thought a most unreasonable time iu that glomy parlor. I began even to grow a little ner vous, and to wonder what it all meant, When a step, very different from the old lady’s was heaid upon the stairs, and a stout, short, red faced woman bustled in. “I beg your pardon, sir,” she said, in a singular tone, such as one who had committed a speech to memory might use; “but, my lady, the lady who brought yoti here, is tefy nervous, and was needlessly alarmed. She begs your accept* auce of the customary fee, and there is no need of your services.” Thus speaking, she handed me the money, curtised, and opened the door for me. I bowed, expressed my pleasure that the patient was better, and de parted. It was a queer sort of adventure* but rather amusing than otherwise ; besides, I had my fee. I went home and slept soundly. I arose early next morning, and made a visit before breakfast. Re turning I found sitting in my office the lady of the night before. She arose as I entered. “What must you think of me,’, she said. “But no matter. My daughter is very dear to me, and I have heard of your skill. She is worse again. Can you call some time to-day, as early as possible, at my house?” “I will be there in an hour,” I said. The old lady took out her purse. “In my day the doctor received his fee on the spot. Will you re ceive it now ?” I did not know what to say, but she laid the money on the table and departed. I ate my breakfast, and made my way to the old lady’s house. I rang the bell, the door was opened Ky the stout female who had dismissed me the night be fore. “The doctor,” I said, by way of explanation. “Ha!” she said. “Itas missus called you in again ?” “Yes,” I answered. “There’s no need, I assure you sir,” she said. “I can’t really ask you in. There’s no one ill hero.— It’s a whim of hers. I’m a better judge of illness than she. No need of a doctor.” “B it since the lady called me in, I must see the patient,” I said. “Beg you pardon, I’ve orders to admit no one,” she answered, and shut the door softly in my face. I left the house, of course, partly in dugeon, partly in amazement. Could there be some plan on the part of this old woman to keep medical assistance from some unhap py patient whose death would serve her purpose ? I asked myself this question for several days; then I forgot the matter. Two weeks passed bv, when, lo ! the old lady again. She walked in as greatly agitated as on the former occasion. “Sir,” she said, “again I trouble yon. My poor, poor daughter.— Gome at once.” “Madam,” I answered, “it is a physician’s duty, as tt should be his pleasure, lo obey such calls, but you are aware that I have beeu sent from your door twice AVithout see ing the patient. Allow me to ask you a question. Are you the mis tress of that house ?” “Heaven knows I am,” said the old lady. “I have lived there for forty years. I own it. I am the only person under that roof who has the right to give an order.” “And the person who has sent me a way ?” “My old servant) Margaret.” “Did she do it at your order?” “No, sir; it was a piece of pre sumption. But Margaret means well. She loves mei” . “Then, madam, if I accompany you, I shall see the patient?” “Assuredly, sir.” I put on my hat again, and Ave Avent out of the house together. We exchanged very few Avords as Ave walked through the streets. At the door of her mansion the old lady paused. “Don’t mind Margaret,” she whispered- “She means well.” Then she ascended the steps. The door Avas opened to us by the woman I had twice seen before. “The doctor must see my child, Margaret,” said the old lady. Margaret stepped back. “Walk in sir,” was all she said. The old lady beckoned me to fol low hon She Avent dp stairs and opened the first door we came to. It was an empty bedroom. She closed it with a sigh. The next rooni into which she led me was also empty. So were all the others. In effect Ave visited six apart" ments, only one of which seemed to be regulaily occupied as a sleep ing apartment; and at the last the old lady turned to me with a strange glitter in her eyes. “Stolen,” she said; “stolen— somebody has stolen my girl. Sir do you know I think it must be Satan ?” Then Margaret came in, and the old lady, bursting into tears, suf fered her to lead her away. As I made my Avay downstairs. Margaret rejoined me. “You understand it now,” she said. “You see my mistress is not in her right mind ?” “I do indeed,” I said. “She had a daughter once,” said Margaret, “and the girl—a pretty creature of sixteen—ran away with a bad mau. She came back home one day, and begged forgiveness ; her mother turned her from the door in a fury. It was night; the rain and hail beat down on the poor thing, and the wind buffeted her. “There is no knowing what hap pened to her that night, but, next, morning, she lay dead. Her moth er’s address was pinned to her ba by’s clothing, ar.d they brought her home. “From that awful day, sir, my mistress, who, in her remorse and delirium, called in twenty doctors to bring her dead daughter to life, has always beeu doing what she has done to you. I try to keep the secret generally, but some find it out, and otheis think odd things of us. I thought I would let you know tbo truth. If she contrives to come again to you, you can al ways promise to call aud so be rid of ller. “Poor soul! she has nobody in the world but me now. She’s pun ished for her hardness at any rate, and you’ll excuse her conduct.” I bowed. I could say nothing. Margaret opened the door for me, and I walked out into the fresh air. As I looked back upon the house, with all its elegance, it seemed to me to have a haunted air, as though the ghost of the poor girl still hov ered about it. “God only knows how Many fearful secrets such splendid homes may at times shut in,” I said to myself, and 1 turned my back upon it gladly. I have never seen the poor old lady siiicb tliftt hour; probably Margaret has kept too close a watch upon her. —Saturday Even ing Post. Why Farmers are so Poor It is believed that seven-tenths of the planters and farmers of this country, north and south alike, are staggering to their fall under a load of debt and mortgage. What is the matter ? Asa class, farmers are not lazy. They are seldom idle.—- They work as hard as anybody ottght to work. They make, taking one year with another. Avhat may be con sidered, under the present standard of agriculture, fair crops, and they get, as u, rule, good prices for their surplus products they put into the market; still they don’t get rich— in fact, are getting poorer and poor er every year. Why is it so ? To say nothing of a faulty system of chopping —all cotton, all A'dient, all something else ; or of credit, liens and interest, the reason which we had in mind with Avbich to point this paragraph is, that it c< sts too much to make our crops. We grow poor, not so much because our in comes are so small, as because our outgoes are so large. There is no strict method in our operations and close economy of means. The ex pense of making a crop lias not been reduced to a minimum. We fence in too large a field and travel over too many acres to produce ten bales of cottort or a hilndred bushels of corn. We pay out too much for labor and for fertilizers for the re sult produced. The remedy must be sought in sounder methods, labor saving implements and better train ed labor and less of it. Paper —Paper is cow used very successfully for making buggy box es, baskets, belting for machinery, boats, clothing, household utensils, etc. For buggy boxes its utility is highly appreciated, as there is no danger of its shrinking or cracking, while it is almost impossible for a horse kick it and make any ini pression on its surface. It is capa ble of sustaining a very high polish and the facility with which it can be moulded into any shape desired is also advantageous. It is thought that it will eventually supersede wood in the manufacture of many fancy aiticleS, afid that its use for the above purposes will become gCn oral. A lawyer was iu a country town on a flying trip, lie was accosted in the hotel by a ‘drummer,’ who thought him one of the fraternity, and inqured ; ‘For what house are you traveling ?’ ‘For my owu.’— ‘You are 1 May I ask your Dame?’ ‘You may.’ Pause —enjoyable to the lawyer, embarrassing to the other. ‘Well (desperately,) what is your name?’ ‘Jones.’ ‘What line are you in?’ ‘I don’t under stand you, sir.’ r Wbat are you sell ing ?’ (impatiently.) ‘Brains,’ (coolly.) The merchantile traveler saw his opportunity, and, looking at the other from head to foot, he said, slowly, ‘Well, you appear to carry a deuced small lot of sam ples? YOL.

The Avriter illustrates his statements by putting some of hit sentences into plain English. For example : We have made justice a luxury of civilization.—Monkeys never grow a 113- older in expression.

A Romance in Real I^iret A short time ago a youog mail about twenty years of age arrived in Baltimoie from England anii commenced to look for work at his trade. After several day’s fruitless search the Gazette says, lie entered a large factory on Lombard street and inquired for work of the super intendent. The latter questioned him, asking his name and where he was from, and other about his family. lie told the su perintendent that his mother re* sided in England and had reared him, his fatllei* having quarrelled with her when he was an infant and had abandoned them, and it was supposed he had come to Amer ica, but no tidings had been receiv* ed ftorh hi hi. When the young man had concluded, the superin* tendent, who for many years, had been employed by the firm with whom he is at present engaged; said to the astouislied youth, “I am your father.” They discussed family matters at length, and the fa’her, hearing from his son that his mother had never ceased to mourn their unfortunate difference aud hid absence, determined to proceed lit once to Europe and bring her td this country and endeavor in the’ future years to atone for the mis takes and errors of the past. Hd procured employment for his son, and, obtaining the necessary leave of absence from the employers, he sailed last week for England, iu* tending to bring back with him ort his return the wife from whom hd had been so long separated.- Ckeam Candy.— l pound of loaf sugar ; one teaspoon cream-tartar ; 1 tablespoon vinegar; 2*3 tumbler of water ; 1 teaspoon butter. t/at the candy boil without stirring ; then add 1 tablespoon flavoring.
