EVERY PLANTER

Reliable Fire and Bstrelar Proof
SAFE.
In a oomciunitv like this, where many
wealthy persons reside on plantations remote
from neighbors, and who sometimes have oc
casion to keep large sums of money or co.stlv
jewelry in their houses, or have valuable doc
uments to preserve, every prudential consid
eration requires t at thev should have some
safe depository for such nro ertv, that it miy
he entirely secure from the accident ot fire or
temptation to robber . The loss of a single
account Ho k or other document, whether by
lire or abstraction, may involve i ( ts owner in
irretrievable rnir.; mid it therefore admonish
es a'! prudent men to effect a kind oiperp. tu
insurance egarnsi such calamities, and the i
cheap.st and most < ffectnal one is the pop*, *-!
sion ofa fire anti burglar proof Safe. Atari, j
persons, warding such depository carry theri I
money, sometimes large sums on their person*,
Others hide it in secret places; others, whose

the times indicate political and dome-tic com

a Rafc deposit for money and valuables within

the twelve years that they have beeti in use,
although hundreds of them l ave boen sub

Coys Out at Night.
I have been an observer, as I am a sym

hardly .unti lstand how a high-toned use- |

glad privileges one to youth. But, while
I watch with a very jean ms eye all rigid*
and customs which entrench upon the pro
per rights of boys, I am equally apprehen
sive lest parents who are not forgetful,
and who have not habbuated themselves
to close observation upon this subject, per
mit their sous iudulgeiicies which are al
n.usT certain to result ii> their demoraliza
tion if not iu their total ruin; and among
ihe. habits wiiicli I have observed tending
most surely to ruin, I know of none more
prominent than that of parents “permit ting i
tin ir sons to be in the streets after night
fall.. ‘
It is ruinous to their morals in all instan
ces. They acquire, under tiie cover of
night, an unhealthy state of mind—had,
vulgar, immoral, and profane language,
obscene pr.tciices, criminal sentiments, a
lawless aud riotous bearing. Indeed, it is
in the street after night-fall that the boys j
principally acquire th education of ilie
bad, and capacity for becoming rowdy,
dissolute, criminal men.’ Parents should
in this | articular, have a ltgid and indexi
ble rule, that w it! not permit a sou, under
any circumstances whatever, to go into
the streets ‘after night-fall with a view of
engaging in out-of-door spotts, or meet
other bys for social chance occupation.
A right rule of this kind, in variably ad her- j
ed to will soon deaden the desire for such !
dangerous practices.
Bovs should be-taught to have pJeas
mes around the family centos tabic, iu

ments. Boys are seen in the street after
night-fall, behaving in a manner entirely
destructive es ail “oou morals. Fathers. |

Texas is a gif-ai It has not only
a large growibg. mixed population—every

—tut its very oxen have become denoini
iiuti ‘iiiil, it not sectarian in name, charac
ter. and spirit, in proof of this we give
the following incident: ‘
A urinistei travelling along the road,
met a stranger driving inn wagon, which
was pulled by four oxen; as the minister !
approached, lie heard the driver say. “Get \
no Presbyterian !” “Gee Campbellne! ’ |
“flaw llnplist I” ‘ What me you doing, j
Methodist /” ‘i'lie minister, struck with j
the singularity of such names being given
to oxen, lemarkid—•
“Blranger, you have strange names for
youi oxen, and i wisli tn know why tlioy
“had such naiues given to them.”
“*J'he driver replied “l rdl that lead
one ill lionl. I’re.b) li liuu bemuse hats
tine blue, and iiev.er fails, lie tielievcs in

when you let him go on his own way. un
til he sees water, aud then all the world
could not keep hitn out of it, and there lie
stands as if his journey was. ended. This
off ox, behind, is a real Baptist, for he is
all the time after water, and will not eat
j with tiie others, but is constantly’ looking
I first one side and then on the other, and
at everything that comes near him. The
otter which I call Methodist, makes a
great noise and a great to do, and you would
think that he was pulling all creation, but
ho don’t pull a pound.”
The. minister having his curiosity grati
fied villi the explanation, rode on wonder
ing what he should next see aud hear in
1 t-xas. This is no dream, but a fact as
we have heard it; nor are we influenced by
dyspeptic feelings, telling our readers the
ecclesiastical relation of Texas oxen.—

The Mobile Tribune relates the follow
ing “good un
Some years ago, at a time wlieu there
was a triangular contest in progress be
tween (be Whigs, Old Democrts, and
“Fire-eaters,” it was announced tbatjtlie
John Morisett, of linn™, Wostld ad
dress i!,( people of that county in behalf
of the Wings. Chancellor Lesscsne was
sent up from Mobile, to meet bun, as repre
sentative. of Southern Rights patty. The
Chancellor wora straps to his pantaloons
(then not a prevalent fashion in Monroe.)
and having a habit of putting his hands
behind him. when speaking, and lifting the
skirts of his coat, he displayed a large,
new brass buckle, that fastene i his waist
hand.
Mr. Morsett, replying, remarked, in his
own peculiar aud inimitable vein, that Ihe
people ol Monroe did not “need to receive
political instruction from Mobile—least of
all from a gentleman who wore gallowses
under his boots and a breastpin on the
seat of his breeches.
An English gentleman was secently
walking under the arcades of the Rue tie
Ilivnli, in Paris, holding in his hand a gold
headed cane of splendid workmanship.
A man supported by two crutches came
up, and asked for alms in a pitiful tone.
The gentleman, moved to pity, gave the
lie'gger a small silver coin. At the same
moment a person near hitn suddenly ex
claimed, “How can you, sir, allow this
rogue to deceive y. u ? Please to lend me
your cane, and I will show you >that the
rascal runs better than 1 can.” The Eng
lishman, taking uawates, without reflect
ing lent Ins cane ; the begga.i, the moment
he perceived it in his detractor’s hand,
• brow away his crutches and took to Lis
heels as if his satanic majesty in person
uas running after him, and was followed
by the man with the cane, whilst the spec
tators and the Englishman particularly, re
mained i.i convulsion ot laughter at the
sight, and exclaiming alternately. “O. lie
will he caught!”—“No. he will not be
caught!”—But both the racing heroes dis
appeared at the next opening in the street,
and the good Englishman remained wait-j
ing for his splendid cane, which cost five |
hundred francs.
Florence Nightengale says : The effect
of music upon the sick lias been scarcely
at nil noticed. In feet, its expensiveness.
as it is now, makes any general application
of it out of the question. I will only re
mark here, that wind instruments, inclu
ding the human voice, and s'ringed instru
ments capable of continuous sound, itave
generally a beneficial effect—while the
piano lbrte, with such instruments as have
no continuity of sound have just tiie re
verse. The finest piano forte playing will j
damage the sick, nbile an air like “Home ‘
Sweet Home,” or “Assisa pie d'uti Sultee,’ !

sensinly sdC 1 ’ them-und this quite hid* j

How vastly inncli more might he achiev- j
ed for the progress of truth, if turn would 1
cal! the good, instead of spending their ‘
precious hours in grumbling over the had.
It is perfectly idle to expect tiie whole
world to do ns we could wish t hem to ; and
equally idle is it to reject a tiling, good In |
the tniiiih because there are some itnper- ■
lections about it. Behind almost every;
! rose there lurks a thorn, and so in life s ;
j battle, truth and error, beauty and pain, j
‘arc often strangelv mingled. He who,

j shed along his path in lite ; hut he who

thorn will have his rifuk of life tossed
rudely by temptation’* waves, er ho ar

‘‘Forgive and be Forgiven.”
BY |„ AUUUSTIIS JOYKS.
Brother traveller through this life,
Where misfortunes oft assail ;
Battle nobly ’mid the strife.
Boldly face the fiercest gale :
Some max fall where you succeed;
Some who manfully have striven ;
Keep this motto in vour creed,
Oh, •• Fcrgire and be Forgiren.”
If sneering furs dispute thy way,
W’itli a smile srill pass them Ly ;
Heed not what their tongues n.ay sav.
Toiler let thy aim he high :
When you reach Fame's highest goal
For which you tiiatiriilly have striven
All your foes with feeling soul,
Oil, “Forgive and be Forgiren.”
.Ever trust in God above,
Though misfortunes hear thee down.
Chaiigch ss is thy Maker's love, .
Smiles He hides behind each frown:
Then when on your conch of death,
Life’s last ties are sadly riven ;
With thy expiring breath,
Ol:, “ Forgive and be Forgiven.”
Rather Equi coral . — An attorney brought
an action against a farmer for. .having cab
led him :t rascally lawyer. An old hus
bandman being a witness, wns asked if he
heard the, man.call him a lawyer.
• I did,” was the reply.
“Pray,” said the judge, “what is ypiir
opinion of fho import of the word V
“There can he no doubt of that,’ re
plied the fellow.
“Why, good man,’ said the judge, ‘there
is no dishonor in the name, is there V • ‘
“1 know nothing about that,’ answered
he, but this I know, if any man called me a
lawyer, I'd knock hitn down.’
“Why, sir.’said the judge pointing to
one of the consul, ‘ that gentleman is a
lawyer, ar.d that, nd 1, too, ain a lawyer-, •
“No, no,'replied ihe fellow ; “and, my
lord ; you are a judge, I know, but 1 am
sure you are no lawyer.’
