It win found iu Westminister Abbe/, name less and dateless) but nevro-fliefes* it is la- j valuable for it wine and wholesome coun sel to tbe race of Adam: A nation would be truly lmppy if it were governed try no other laws than those of | this Messed look. . It contain* everything needfM to be known or done. It give* instruction to u Senate uuthori ty nud direct ions to a magistrate. Ft cautions n tritncse, requires an im partial verdict of a jury, and fupishea the judge with liia sentence. It seta the htudKind a* lord of hi" hmwe bold and the wife a* mlatreaa of the table —tells him how to rule, and how to man age. It entail* honor to parent* and enjoins obedience to children. It prescribes and limit* tlio sway of the novereign, the rnle of the ruler and the an thority of the magter ; command* the sub to honor and the servant* to obey and the blessing* *nd tbe protection of the Almighty to all tlmt walk by this rule. It gives directions for weddings and burials. It promises food and raiment uud limits the use of both. ft pointH out iv faillifni and eternal guar dian to tho departing baabsud and fatlier; teUs him with whom to leave his fatlier km children and whom his widow is to trust- -and promise* a father to the form er and a husband to the latter. It leaches a man to set his house in or dor, uud bow to make his will, it ap points a dowry for his wife and entails the rights to his first born, ami shows bow the young branches ahull bo left. It defend* the right of all and reveals vengeiioo to every defaulter, oveiroacher, and tresspasser. It is the first book, the best book. R contains tho choicest matter -gives the best instruction—affords the greatest! degree of pleasure uud satisfaction that We have over enjoyed. It contains the host laws and most pro found mysteries that were ever penned; and it brings the very best comfort* to the inquiring and disconsolate. It exhibits life and immortality from time everlasting and shows the way toglo- ry. It in u brief recital of all tliut is toootne. It settlea alt imitU rH iu ilabute; ruaolvu* ail doabts; nnd ea*e* tbe mind'and'con science of all their scruple*. It reveals the only living and true God, ftud *howft,the tv*y to Him, and seta aside all other gods, and dtiacribe* the vanity of them and all that trust in such; in short, it ia a book of laws to show light and wrong, of wisdom that condemns u folly nnd make* file foolish wise, a book of truth, that de tects *U Ilea and confronts all errors; and h is a hook of life that shows the way from everlasting death. It contuina the must ancient antiquities ami strange events; wonderful occurrence*, ltcroic deeds, impaneled wars, it describes the celestiuli anil infernal world* and the Origin of Hie angelic myriads, the human tribes and the devilish legions. It will instruct the aocompliscd Mechan ic and most profound critic. It teaches the la st rhetorician, and ex ercises every power to the most skillful arithmetician puzzles the wisest anatomist and exorcises the wisest critic. It is the best covenant Hint over was "sewed on; the best deed that ever was sealed; tlie bust deed that will over be sign ed. To mtdsrsturad it hr to-be wise indeedto | he ignorant of it k* tw b destitute of true j wisdom. It is tha king's best copy, the magis trate* best rule, the bousekeeper’s best guide, the servant's best directory, and the young man's beet companion; it is the 1 school hoy’s opening book and the great nud learned man’s masterpiece. It contains a choice grammar for a nor its- aud a profound mystery for a sage, it is tlie iguoraut mau's dictionary and Hie wise man’s diotiomay. It affords knowledge of witty inventions lor the humorous and dark Hayings for the grave and it is it* owav interpretter. It encourages the wine; the wntricrjaad Sh* swijft it overcomes; it promises ao;otci*- ul reward to the excellent,' the conquer- j or, the winner aud the prevalent. Aud that whiuh crowns all is that the author is without partiality and without hypoerhsy. "In whom there is no vuribhinisi. or shadow of turning." A Portrait of a Lady wn.aH Fear. jfr it: or*P. I board now, and I think Share on* of th kindest landladies in the world. She Ma ma to think a great deal of roe, and I sometimes almost decide that I should if any harm should come to her. She is very particular about her hoard erv. Before she- would take me in I was compelled to get a oerUtioato from three clergymen, two banker** und'-u lawyer, stat ing that I hud never been hung for mur der or sent to the State Prison for horse stealing. I bargained for i* front room looking out on the tarapus martins, and it was understood that 1 was to have the room alone. On the third night Ijwent home and found a stranger in bed, and w hen 1 began to raise a row, Mas*. Dolby caught my arm and said: •‘There, now, be a good, dear man, and say no more. He's a preacher,- and he's going away to-morrow, I thought you wouldn’t mind-it'just one night" At the end of the week sh* lasokoued me aside, and smiling like a load of fresh hay, she wanted to know if I would- do her a fa vor, a favor whisk would' plane her under many obligation* to me, I replied that I Would die ton her, and flu*a she asked me to give up the room looking out upon the grand square ami take one looking out upon the grand alley, full of o*h laurel* and oys ter ran*. Bhe had a Ixjarilcr coining who was awful particular, and she knew that I would do anything to accommodate her. I mule the change, and tbe grateful look she gave fne was enough to melt a vest button. 1 bail only got fairly settled when I was told that she wanted to see me in tho parlor after dinner, I found her in tears. Bee said a very nice man and hi* very nice wife wanted to come and Issird with her, Init she liud no room, and it grieved her to think that she must turn them away when stoe was so hard pushed to get along, I told her that if I had a hundred lives I weald lay them all down for her ami borrow g hundred more and add to the pile, and she seized my hand and said that heaven would sorely reward me for being good to n fatherless orphan. I moved into the garret, and the awful particular man mov ed into my room, and the very nice man and wife moved into the front room. In another week Mrs. Dolby whispered to me and wanted to know if I hod u snake in my stomach. Hhe hud observed that I was a hearty eater, and she did not know but 1 had r snake. I set her right, aud when I promised to take free lunches down town, aud urge all the other boarders to do the same, she put her hand on my shoulder nod remarked that heaven hod a place for me. That night my bed was marie without sheets, and when I went to raise a row she took mo by tho hand aud said that her experience went to rhow tluit it was healthier to sleep without sheets. I was going to argue tho question, wlicu tears came in her eyes, and she hoped I would not any anything trr hurt a j**tr, lmo wid ow, whose life liar! been one long struggle with poverty. The next night tbe feather b*d nnd one of the pillows went, but I didn’t say anything. Xlietf she wanted to bor row my toothbrush for a boarder who had n’t one, and flUc took ray stove to use in the lower hull. I didn't say * Word until she wanted to know if I cotddn’tspare the old rag carpet off the floor, aud if I would not set the other boarders un example by driukiug nothing but water, and not take the second biscuit. Then I told her that IN-as going to teiwe the house *rd try to 1 tear her image from my heart. She seized both my iiamK few* rolled down her cheeks, and asked} “Mr. Quail, would you deliberately plot to kill a lonesome widow, who is working her life out to make your position here comfortable, lmppy nnd luxurious?" I couldn’t go. I'm here yet. I sleep :on the tloor, put up with cold bites and in the bootjack for a chair when 1 have company. I wish I wasn’t so tenderheart ed, but I cant bear to think of hurting j Mrs. Dolby’s feelings by looking lip un i other place. Chinese Typograhy.

The sheet, when ready for ; printing, is pasted* face downward on a I smooth block of wood, made usually from the pluht or pear tree. As soon - as it is dry the paper uTrnhbod off with great rare, leaving behind art inverted impression of the characters Another workman now cuts away the : blank spaces liy means of a sknvp graver, aud the block, with the cbrmu.'i.ers in high relief, passes fo the jvrinteT, who performs bis work by hand. The tivo points that ! ho has to bo most careful about are to ink the characters eijiuiHy with bin - brush, *Sd to avoid tearing the papw when taking the ! impression. From a good wooden block some 15,000 copies may lie printed, and when the characters have been sharpened up a littlb, it is poesible to obtain 8,000 or j 10,000 more urvpiVsCTowv New York Libkkai, Convknti’os.—Al j bony, N, 1", Se]>t. 29, 1871 The adjourn ed Liberal convention resolved to make no nomdations and recommended the Liberal Republicans and independents to ! support only honec* men, and who most fitly represent the principles enunciated at the r rgatvwstion of the party at Cincinnati and subsequently re-affirmed ut tlie State 1 conventions, and who also stands com mitted bv the action of the convention which placed them in nomination against tlie third presidential term mid the can tralizution of power at the seat of the fed eral government A negro woman- at Guthrie, Terra., got on a'twria- and - paid her fare to Clarks ville.

Avoid people who have no faith in their kind. They are dangerous to deal with. A thorough knowledge of their own dis trust-'of 1 others. Taking ill for granted that everybody with whom-they come in busi •ess conlact is bent on overreaching'them, their object is to spike the enemy's artil lery by being the first to overreach Can dor is lost upon them. They eortsider it - refined hypocrisy. Favors they look upon as cunningly devised lores; ihtended to lend them into a trap, ami, while receiving ! them wilhttglv, chuckle inwardly t the thought that- tirey awe old birds, and can not be caught by any such-devices. These : creatures thunk they understand human | nature. F'oer wretches, of tdTihe thous , and springs if h-Jrnari action they know I hut one, and that worst—selfishness. Let them stop that spring in them own rfiorid machinery, if they can. Let them do it for their own sake*, for they can never know how much of good there is iu the world until they do.
