Prosperity that is not the growth of Bteady perseverance and healthy enterprises; hut an appar ent prosperity, that is engendered by the fa'sc and fashionable style of living of the present day. Industry is, in too many instances, rabidly giving way toidlene sand spec ulation. The truth is, we all have a desire to gel rich too fast. Cautious, methodical, persevering efforts arc frowned upon, and the individual who possesses such characteristics is regard and by many as being eccentric; a fit sub ject for laughter,* pity, or contempt. — lln, only, who would reach the goal at. a single bound, is the person looked up on with anything like admiration by the masses of mankind. This fictitious prosperity is not orly prejudicial to labor, but all its acquisi tions arc based upon luck. Men who are ii fluetced in this way are constant ly peeking an opportunity to made a “corner’*'in commercial transactions.— Hero the unwary are l'kely to he tripped up, aud their pockets rifled, the successful operators in the underta king, instead of being regarded as thieves are too often held up before the public as heroes. A Doticcable example of the manner in which mercantile affairs arc sometimes conducted, is seen in the recent failure of a dry goods bouse, transacting a busi ness of several millions a year. This house had a capital of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and yet they were paying fifty thousand dollars a yaar rent for their place of business. This was, however, only a single item of their lavish expenditures, that was charged to the account of expenses. There is certainly not much coonomy here ! Very little desire is manifested to do business with a view to fair profits.— They evidently plac’d small reliance on those constant accretions of steady gams by which judicious merchants bu'ld up an honorable name. There are thous ands of such histories, if we could on ly read them. Thousands of people aim to bo considered what they are not. and never can be. Thousands of busi ness men swallow up their capital by moans of useless expeodituae, aud are all the whilo trying to recover their losses by tho aid of wild speculation. ‘ Oae cannot eat his goose and keep bis goose,” is as true now as ever. Plod ding industry, economy, and persever ance, will always build up a small bus iness, and often mako succ ssful that which had been previously unprofitable through bad management; but industry, however well directed, connot, at once j accomplish great results. It requires timo and close application to surmount 6erious obstacles, and onr commercial men should understand that no hurny) being can to permanently prosper ous, unless ho adopts those means, makes them ease-’iAial to the actual ends of his r CDO6 • Our young men are too superficially educated iD political economy—the great principles that underlie tho paths of hu man success. They aro too apt to be lieve ihat pluck is the cue thing need ful to pY»ce them on pinnacles of pros perity, whoso height is only measured by the extent of *heir ambition. This fictitious proß|.. r jty c f which wo write enters into every -muification of life. It takes possession ur the small tradesman, and he is at once en. ulous to imitate the style of the wealthy I wholesale merchant; the lawyer and the doctor are respectively possessed of a mania to surpass the other in lavish ex penditure ; tho speculators, from mere habit of being reckless at all times and on all oooasians, scatters his money about with a wasteful band, and when it is too late, opens bis eyes to tho stern realities of a situation of misfortune and poverty. The clerk, on his one or two thousand dollars salary, does not save a single penny, and is frequently in debt three or four hundred dollars more than he has the means of paying This is certainly an unnatural condition of things, but it continues to exists, and is all tho while gaining strength. The country was never so produclive. never so prosperous; but the evil is not abated. VY r e have a remedy at hand, if the prescription is carefully followed. It is this : banish extravagant follies, bo diligent in business, and you will bo eminently happy in your social rela tions, ns well as commcndably pros perous in your business affairs. This plun will also answer the purpose of destroying ruinous speculation. Con fidence will be established on stable foundations, and there will bj* greater ceitainty attending the prosecution of the various industrial employments. NVe are all too prone to hve for the present, and to ignore tho future.— Other people’s opinions govern our in dividual action in some matters more than is for our p.ersonal good ; other people’s eyes are the spectacles by which we are too often seen, and other people’s tastes establish in our mind ►nn expectation of sweetness, when our own good sense should teach us that the fruit produces nothing but lasting bitterness. It is a matter of anxious inquiry with us, whether the time will ever come when we shall be able to shake off this degrading slavery to others. Shall we ever march forward to freedom, both ot opinion and action ? Until such a happy consummation, wo suffer the highest and best purposes of our na* ture to bo made subservient to base prejudices and narrow-minded views At present, all our efforts at living are restricted to the narrowest chan nels of fashion and display. It is true such cxpori&noe is very costly, and equally unsatisfactory, while it places us directly under tyranny, which com pels us to seek a position where wo as sume to be something more than our talent or our wealth will justify. From the Augusta Constitutionalist. Perils of IXriiikiiij; ltn«l Wliis- Many years auo, when the State of Georgia was in its infancy, one of the circuit judges was Bela Drown, an an cestor of tho recent “secesh ’ governor of that name. Ho was a man of ability and integrity, but like a good many distinguished persons of that day, he liked a social glass; and whenever tho members cf the bar would turn in and help, ho sometimes drank to excess and became gloriously fuddled. On one occasion, while traveling on circuit, he reached the village of Dayton, in Dooly county, where the court was to be opened the next day, and took quar ters with a relative of his wife, that la dy accompanying him. After supper the Judge strolled ovor to the only iav ern in the piace, kept by one Sterritt, where he met a number of his legal friends. A convivial evening was passed; drinks frequently went round, and somewhere about midnight, the Hon orable Bela, was in a state of mind quite the reverse of thut implied by tbe old saw, “Sober as a judge,” When he was leaving for home, one of the young lawyers in a spirit of mischief, slyly passed some spoons tromthe tum blers into the Judge’s pocket. On dressing himself next morning, the eccentric official, putting his hand into his pocket, was greatly perplexed in discovering three or four silver spoons. “>ly God! Polly,” said he to his wife, “just look here; I believe I’ve stolen some of Sterritt's spoons P’ “Let’s sec them,” says the wife, “Yes, sure enough—here’s his veritn able initials ! Pray how did yojtJflfJte pen to have them in yonr PtsrfdTet rr- “I think I must Jnave been drunk when I cam'o home, wasn’t I?” in- quired the Judge, “Yes,” replied the devoted Polly, “you know your old habit when you get among those lawyers.” “Certainly; I can understand easy enough how it all catne about. That fellow, Sterritt, keeps the m'anest liq uor in the State ; but I never supposed that to drink it would make a man steal 1” The spoons were duly returned- to the landlord, and the Judge went aud opened his Court, thinking no more u ut the matter. Several days elapsed VOL IV. —NO. 32. and the business of tho Court was draw ing to a close, when one morning a rough-looking customer was arranged before bis Honor for larceny. IJo pleaded guilty, but said in mitigation that ho was drunk at tho time cf com mitting the offense. “What is tho nature of tho charge against the man V inquired Judge Brown. ‘ Stealing money from the till at Sterritt’s tavern,” rcpiied the clerk. “Young man,” said tho Judge sol emnly, “aro* you euro you was intoxi cated when you took this money ?’’ “Yes, your Honor, I was so jolly drunk that things looked like they wero dancing double-shuffles and when I went out doors tho ground kep4 coming up and bitting me on the head.” “That w'll do,” replied tho Judge. “But tell me, did you get all tho liquor you drank at Sterritt's t" 1 Every drop of it, your Honor.” “And so you got tipsy on his liquor, and then stolo his money ?” “That’s it exactly; I didn’t knovf what I was doing.” Turning to the prosecuting attorney tho worthy magistrate said ; “This is a most extraordinary enso, Mr. Attorney, and ono, I think, de manding the clemency of tho Court.— You will, therefore, do me tho favor of entering a nolle protftqnt. That liquor of Sterritt’s, I have reason to kuow, is mean enough to make a man do any* thing dirty. I got drunk on it myself, the other night, and stole all his spoons. If Steiitt will sell such abominable stuff, ho ought not to have tho protec tion of this Court. You may release the prisoner. Mr. Sheriff.” A Preacher’s Stratagem. It- is said that at one time, when Lu renzi blow preached under a largo spruce pino in South Carolina, he an nounced another appointment for proach iog in tli£ same placo on that day twelve months. Tho year pasted, and Lorenze was entering the neighborhood the cv-* oniug previous to his appointment, ho overtook a colored boy who was blowing a long tin horn, and oountd send a blase with rise and swell and cadent which waked echoes of the di-funt hills.
