MISCELL A i\ EG L’S.
KIWG cIULDtER TO INDUSTRY,
{l is not our general practice to write
Or even publish homilies upon the duty
of parents or the habits of children, but
the article below contains views so en
lire! vin accordance with onr own, that we
have ventured so Rive it the prominence
ofeditoiial matter. We are most happy
to say that of late years there lias
been an important and perceptible change
going forward in our own city, and in the
tSouih generally, upon the very points *o
opprojH ialel v discussed in the article in
question. An important secret has been
discovered, viz; that men who expect to
eat must labor. The idle drone, whether
in high or low life, is beginning to be
known by the approj riatc appellation of
loafer, and to he esteemed accordingly.
Mothers begin to understand that every
“darling hoy” cannot he safely pushed
into professional life, anil that mere cc
cornplishnu nts do not fit their daughters
to become the honored u ives of correctly
thinking men whether rich or poor.—
The refmm thus in its incipiency, we
may trust, w ill progress until met it shall
have superc tied aristocratic pretension,
and unit I men, and women, too, are es
teemed on account of u hat they are. rath
er than on account of what they or their
fathers have been. Hoping t! at the arti
cle in que-tion may lend to change pub
lic s- n i nont, and to hasten so desirable
o relorma'ion, wo have given it a promi
nent place in our columns, and «sk (or it
h calm and dispassionate perusal.—Sa
vannah Republican.
• Be Industrious. —There is no situa
tion in life, which aflxnds so much com
fort and enjoyment as that of having body
and mind constantly employ ed. Although
lheic appears to he in the minds of most
people a natural antipathy to labor, yet
it is well known, and generally admitted \
by those whose circumstances have at
times required incessant labor, and at
other times perfect leisure and exemption
from caro, that there is vastly more en
joyment in industry than in idleness. It
is the plain and express duly of every
person to he industrious, and to improve j
every hour of their time in the full exer- j
vise of their natural strength and facnl- i
lies, in the most useful employment. No
circumstances in life can furnish an ex
cuse for a neglect of this duty. We would
not, in these remarks, wholly prescribe
recreation ; hut a well-balanced mind
will find the most healthy and pleasant
recreation in exerches which are de
cidedly useful and beneficial to them- I
selves and others. We should raise our j
children under the firm conviction that ;
labor, like marriage, ‘is honorable in all,’ [
that idleness is disgraceful —the high, !
broad road to infamy and crime. Our j
daughters should he taught that it is, in |
reality, more honorable to marry a re
spectable laboring man of plain exterior }
and humble pretension, than to mate with
must ached dandies and semi professional :
gentlemen.
Young men who have entered ensue-
O |
cessfully upon professional life should,
after a fair trial of their powers,seek some 1
calling better adapted to their habits and i
capacities. Want of success is no proot |
of a lack of talent, w hile it may show it ;
to have been misdirected. A had lawyer j
may make a good farmer, or an indifle.r- J
ent politician a capital merchant. The
true policy of all, in homely | hrase, is
<lo push along keep moving.’ No man
ever vet succeeded in life who admitted
the existence of such a word as ‘c;mT in
the English language. Persevere, work,
be industrious—should be the con-taut
lessons of every father and mother to
their children. If sons will not work at
home they should he driven out upon the
woild and compelled to rely upon honest i
industry for a support. A father who lias
not moral courage enough and principle
enough to do this, is nsi a good member
of society-—he is the worst enemy to his
own house-hold as well as of his race—
he is encouraging the manufacture of va
gabonds —exposing his off-pring ot tomp
tation —training them for the poor house,
or the penitentiary, rather than for hon
orable positions in Society. It is not a:
all unreasonable to assert that nine-tenths
f.f the vouog men who arrive at ignomi
ny or dishonor in h*e may trace iheir j
fate to file foolish indulgence of parents in
allowing them to spend their youthful
day.s and nigh s in idleness, instead of en
gaging them in useful employments and
impres-ing them wish thexomhined im
| portance of industry and frugality. The
I greatest observer of his age—Mirabeau
! —very properly '•aid—‘‘l know but three
j wavs of Jiving in this world; first, by
i wages for woti,; secondly, by begging;
and thiidly by stealing—so named, or
not so named.’
Men who are ‘too proud to work,* and
are ashamed to beg,’ must rr-snit to
Mira beau's third way of living. Parents
therefore who would save tl eir names
from disgrace, liierri'-elves from mortifica
tion, and their posterity fiom infamy,
must not forget lo train up their children,
both male and female, to habits of indus
try. An idle son is a reproach to his
father, and a helpless, trifling, lazy
daughter is a living monument of her
mother’s folly or weakness. No child
should ever be allowed to forget that one
of its first duties is lo he industrious. —
Exchange paper.
Highly Respectable. —“ They are very
clever kind of people—their father came
of an old and highly respeciahle family,”
remarked a person with whom we were
conversing a few days since, in a tone of
voice that plainly showed why lie viewed
the individual to whore allusion baa been
made with any kind of favor. “Their
father came of un old and highly respect
able family!” Their own intrinsic ex
cellence of character—their pure princi
ples and high toned virtuous feelings, were
nothing in the scale of estimation. The
respectable family from which they
hr.d descended, was the criterion by which
lliev were judged.
Now, this slang of “respectable,” as we
have chosen local! it, is, in our country,
insufferable. What does it mean? Simply,
that a man or a woman, because he or she
happened to be bom of parents who, by a
combination of circumstances, often be
yond their conlioi, occupied a certain
elevated position, is to bo treated with
particular attention, and flattered into
undue self-estimation; while the individual
whose sole claim to consideration has no
other foundation than his own virtuous
energy, struggling against difficulties and
discouragements, yet successful in spite
of every opposition, is to be passed with
indifference nr contempt.
“Who is he,” and not “what is he?” i.s
die 100 prevalent question asked in regard
to the strange l *. And if is a-k; d sincerely
and selfishly— for it is a low, selfish feeling,
that, in nine cases out of ten, prompts the
question. If the answer is that lie be
longs to a “respectable*’ family*, it is
enough —that is sufficient endorsement.
The more resjtec'ahie his family, the
stronger the reflection of respectability
which will he received by an association
as it is the selfish desire tognt factitious :
respectability, which is, alter all, at the
I bottom of all this defeicnee to spurious
merits.
It may bo affirmed, w-e think, that in
sou rcases out ol five, the individuals guilty
of the puerile, not to say contemptible,
folly we are condemning, have no claims
whatever to social estimation either from
j family connections or intrinsic worth; the
I weak childish lovers of distinction, lor its
j own sake—not for the sake of the power ,
to do good that such a position gives— j
anil conscious that within themselves is ,
no power of self-elevation, they become |
what in England is known by (lie elegant j
term “toadies,” —mere fawners upon and !
seekers after, those who are, in their eyes, |
great people. The conversation of this j
class of |>ei pie is generally made up of !
; animated descriptions of this fashionable
. lady’s party, at which they were present,
| or of that distinguished gentleman’s say.
! jngs and doings, of which they were ear- |
j and eye-witnesses. They are hand and
i glove with every individual of note, male j
and female, in the city—visiting them, j
j so they allege, regularly, and coming ;
into almost daily intimate and social in- |
i tercourse with persons whom you would ;
have supposed could and would see j
through them at a glance, and who per
haps do, and endure with as much pa- i
tionce the infliction of their society as we
i do that of an insect’s, which knows no
better than to annoy us by creeping over
; our face, and which we do not fed in
i dined to destroy.
But against ail this is arrayed the clear, :
strong common sense, ot the vigorous, 1
effective mass—the thinking and active !
body of the people, for it is opposite to the j
genius of our political and social organi
zations, and can only exist as a fungus ;
excresenco, brought into existence by
living principles acting upon decaying ■
substances. The impertinence of “is |
his family respectable?” can never throw j
into neglect and obscurity the man of .
strong rrood sense, directed bv right prin
ciples. These will be felt in society, and
demand for him his right and truly effect
ive position, and he will rise in just es
timation, and act with a broad influence,
while the seeker after a false respect
ability in the hope of shining in a borrowed
light, will sink into merited contempt.
This is the law stamped upon society in
our country. There is here an universal
upwards struggle, and every man that j
is boro is free to join in the contest for
true distinction. His family connection
will be nothing to him, ts he do not as an
individual, and upon the strength of ind?- i
; vidual worth, strive with equal or kujh?-
! rior energy with the unknown individual
j by liia side. —Philadelphia Saturday Cdu

RIFLES AND RANCHEROS.
ST PHAXMA.
In the city of Puebla (1843) there is
an old Dutchman who is very fond of re
lating the story we here introduce.
When making l»is first visit to this coun
try, many years since, he happened to
tia vel sole companion of u sturdy Ken
tuckian in a diligence between two of the
large cities. Os course the two travellers
soon became familiar, and quite as much
a matter of course was it that their
thoughts and conversation should turn
upon the dangers of the road. The Ken
tuckian was master of a superb rifle,
which seemed to he almost a part of him
self, as indeed, he paid far more attention
to it and handled it with more care, than
he dreamed of bestowing upon his own
person. In the diligence he carried it be
tween his knees, muzzle down, and while
he rode he would pat and fondle it as ten
derly as maternal dotage would an inno
cent babe.
Tt.e Dutchman’s weapon of defence
was a double-barrel shot gun, which Its
had carefully loaded on this occasion, and
the two very soon agreed to do ul! the
slaughter they could before the outlaws
should make free with the smallest valua
ble they had about them. They bad no
sooner arrived at this conclusion than the
driver was commanded to join the com
pact, and it w r as arranged that upon the
first indication of approaching danger,
llie two travellers should be warned, and
the diligence should stop.
This arrangement was scarcely made
before it was called into action, and the
driver hastily gave notice that eight or ten
mounted rancheros were in the road ad
vancing slowly to meet the diligence.
“Stop the horses—give her a lick
back—stop hei!” roared the Kentuckian,
as he kicked the door open and jump'd
into the road. The Dutchman was hardly
second in the movement, being upon the
i outside of the opposite door with simulta
j neous rapidity. At about two hundred
and fifty yards distance, three of the fore
most robbers were advancing abreast. It
i was upon the most lonely and desolate
part of the road between Puebla and the
city of Mexico, and in the misty dawn of
moining. The Kentuckian and the Dutch
man placed themselves side by side in
; front of the diligence; each w ith the mo-:
| indomitable determination so fight until
j the last breath in defence of their rights.
; The Dutchman, however, was much puz
i zled at seeing his comrade in arms ele
-1 vale his rifle perpendicularly in the air,
i and slowly let the muzzle fall in drawing
1 a deliberate aim at the advancing horse
: men.
“Mein Cot!—ton’t w'asfe the powdhei!”
! said the Dutchman. “Wat are you for
i going to fire?”
| “Let me just level ‘old Kalmuck,’”
! replied the Kentuckian—“keep cool, and
I I’ll pick out that middle chap in a minute!”
“Mein Cot, man,” said the Dutchman,
| “vv it ish more farder off dan von mile?” j
The old Dutchman made no allowance >
for the uncertain light of early dawn, hut ■
the Kentuckian knew every shade of the ;
sky from morning tiil midnight, at this |
lime he was assure of his shot as though j
j the ranchero had already fallen from his j
; horse.
“It you kill de raschal at such much
! distance,” said the Dutchman, “you will
j only vasle de pullet.”
| But the Kentuckian had got his aim,
and just as the Dutchman had ceased j
i speaking, ‘Old Kaintuck’ politely spoke ;
i up, and sent the middle robber tumbling !
from his saddle. The eyes of die Dutch- i
j man expanded with astonishment at the ;
effect of die Kentuckian’s shot, and broken ;
expressions of extravagant surprise issued !
from his lips.
Tire old hunter said nothing, bu! quietly
i loaded his rifle again, and with a pleasant
I gravity lifted it to his shoulder. In the j
mean time the rancheros made off with
| most indefatigable expedition at the first
| broad hint of powder and shot.
I “Are there ary of them in sight?” sail
the Kentuckian, as he coolly h t the .nuc- j
z!e of his tifle fall again in search of a I
victim.
This question was answered by tie
driver, who seeing that the Dutchman
was 100 much astonished to speak, ven
tured to announce that the robbers “we - e j
I out of sight far enough, but w hether ->r
■ not they were out of reach of that rifle, I
, he could not venture to say!”
The Kentuckian has tiavellcd awjy
i heaven knows where, since the adventure
■ we speak of, but the honest oi l Dutchrnm
i is living now in the ciiy of Peubla, aid j
1 swears even to this day, that the distance 1
at which the Kentucky man killed ne ■
. robber “vas poshilively so more ash a
| mile!”
A Woman's Adranfages. —A woman
| may say what she likes to you, without
the risk of getting knocked down for it.
She can take a snooze after dinn»r,
Uwhile her husband has to go to work.
She can dress herself in neat and 1y
calicoes for a dollar, which herhusl-ard
has to earn and fork over.
She can go forth into the streets wih
j out being invited to ‘treat’ at every coSe
i house.
She can paint her face if it bo 100 pale,
| or flour it if it be too red.
i She can stay at home in time of war,
! and wed again if her husband is killed.
Delmonico has opened a new and mag.
nificent establishment at No. 25 Broad
way, New York, a* a lodging house for
gentlemen: The N. Y. Commercial gives
the following account of it:
“Anything so uniformly elegant and
commodious has not before been seen in
this city, at least to our thinking. The
building is six stories high, the basement
being occupied by the kitchen, washing
and ironing room, an apartment contain
ing an apparatus for furnishing warm
water to every room in the house, large
bath rooms, and other conveniencies. The
bath rooms are spacious and are fluted up
with every possible convenience for enjoy,
merit of the luxury so justly appreciated
at the present day.
“From the first floor to the uppermost
story the house is divided with admirable
skill into double and single rooms, or
silling rooms .with dormitories attached,
and rooms combining the sitting room
with the sleeping apartment. These are
elegantly, some of them even sumptuous
ly furnished, each having a marble-top
centre table, wash-stand and mantle piece.
In the higher priced rooms the chairs,
rocking chairs and sofas are covered with
crimson or blue plush; in the others with
hair-sealing. All the beds lie on spring
matressrs and are furnished with finest
linen—no cotton being used. Some of
these apartments command fine views cf
the river, the ba v and the narrows.
“This is to be emphatically a gentlo
man’s house, and if those who live under
the obsolete dispensation of bachelorism
can find any comfort in life, it is likely to
be found under Delmonico’s roof and at a
more reasonable cost then we should have
supposed, considering the elegance of
everything w*o saw. The rooms are lot
at various prices, ranging from ten to six
ty dollars per month, with attendance.-
Warm and cold water may b? had at any
hour of the day or night, without extra
charge. Breakfast and lea are furnished
where desired—dinner is not supplied in
the house.”
Barbarity. —A beautiful Mexican girl
of eighteen, in love with one of the Mexi
can officers, had followed the army to tho
Rio Grande, and overtook her lover in
his camp shortly before the battled Palo
Alto. During the night after the action
her lover, fearing the result of the en
gafcrement to lake place <~n the morrow,
sent her forward to Mafamoros under an
escort of Mexican soldiers. As our army
moved on the next morning towards the
Resaca ue la Palma the advanced guard
discovered the victim of tfie brutality of
her guards. Her person had been viola
ted, her throat cut from ear lo ear, appa
rently with one of the little hook-knives
which the Mexican soldiers carry, and
tier body thrown behind a muskeel bush
by the roadside. Her mutilated remains,
with the black silk dress she wore, re
main there yet, an object ot interest to
every passer by.
Economy —During the battle of the 9;h
an officer of infantry, perceiving his men
were firing with great rapidity, but not
; with sufficiently good aim as he thought
I called out to them—“Be careful, and not
waste your ammunition. Take good aim
and never miss your man. Remember,
I have given a receipt tor every one ol
these cartridges.” Pretty soon they charge
into the chaparral, when they met the ene
my face to face. One of the men charged
upon a Mexican, and as he ran him
through with his bayonet, he roared out— ;
i “Captain, look here—l have saved one
cartridge!”
Good Advice to Young Women —Trust |
not to uncertain riches, but prepare your- :
selves for ever}* emergency in life.—- i
[.earn to work; and be not dependent on
servants to make your bread; sweep your
floors, and darn your own •dockings,— 1
Above all, do not esteem too lightly those j
honorable young men who sustain them
selves and their aged parents by the work ;
of their own hands, while you caress and
receive into your company those lazy, !
idle popinjays, wito never lift a finger to i
help themselves, as long as they can keep ;
body and soul together, and get funds suf
ficient to live in fashion. If you are w i=e
)ou will look at this subject in the light that ;
we do; and when you are old enough to J
become wives, you will prefer the hone-t i
mechanic, with not a cent to commence !
life, to the fashionable loafer, with a i
capital of ten thousand dollars. When- j
ever we hear remarked, “Such a young j
lady has married a fortune,” we always !
tremble for her future prosperity. Riches ;
left to children by wealthy parents turns i
out to be a curse instead of a blessing.—
Young women, remember this, and in- ;
stead of sounding the purses of your lovers !
and examining the cut of their cnats, |
look into their habits an J iheir hearts.— !
Mark if they have trades, and can depend |
upon themselves—see that they have j
minds which will lead thorn to look above |
a butterfly existence. Talk not of the |
beautiful white skin and the soft delicate j
hand, the splendid form, and the fine ap- j
pearance of the young gentleman. Let ;
not these foolish considerations engross j
your thoughts.

1 Female Dress. —Maria Perkins was
arrested in St. Louis on the 7th alt.,
dressed in men’s apparel. She stated
that she was led to the impropriety by dis
gust of the present style of female dress,
and astonished the court with an inventory
of the number of skirts. &o. dso. which
a fashionable woman of the present dav
is obliged to wear all at once, in order to
satisfy herself that she sticks out enough.
Agreeably to her statement, a lady’s
dress is not considered complete until she
has stowed about her in various direc
tions, and for different purpose*, no less
than twenty-seven articles of clothing!

COLLETON BITTERS.
FOR DYSPEPTICS.
HjnilESE BITTERS are purely a vegetable
| -B. compound, and are offered to tho pub
; lie from a principle of benevolence, under the full
■ est conviction that they will be found a rafe and
sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia. 'J hey have been
triumphantly tested not. only by tome of the most
respectable families in the Slate, who have furnish
ed ample testimony aa to their decided excellence,
but also by the proprietor, who, for ten years, suf
fered all tho gloom incident to that distressing dis
ease. They possess the peculiar excellence denied
to most other Bitters, of not proving injurious by
continued use. They contain not a single delete
rious ingredient, and, as seen from the directions
which accompany each bottle, may he given with
i entire safety to an infant in the month
If the Colleton is taken regularly and persever
ingly.C which is highly important in stubborn cases, j
they will, soon after the use of a few bottles, bu
: found to act on the system like a charm—imparting
vigor to the stomach, bracing lha nerves, cleans
. ing the liver, promoting digestion, increasing tin?
| appetite, strengthening ihe chest and voice, reliev
; ing pains, cramps, and stitches in the breast. They
i aru also most excellent for cholera morbua, habitual
i constipation, sea-sickness, nausea, proceed ing from
whatever cause. In cases of general debility, it
• has proved one of tho best remedies, and is there,
i lore highly recommended to elderly people, literary
j gentlemen,students, and others of sedentary habit*.
t aken in small doses frequency through the day,
; they have checked ihe most violent diarrhca i, and
i likewise been administered will the happiest effect
i in cholera infantum.
In all the foregoing complaints, these Bitters will
1 be found effectual if persisted in, and taken accord
ing to the directions which accompany each bottle.
And although it has been testified by several that
j they are excellent in many others,yet in none other
! than those above enumerated, is the proprietor wili
; ing to vouch for their efficacy. They were prima
-1 rily and solely intended to cure Dyspepsia.
The Colleton Bitters have been eight years be
■ fore the public; and in consequence of the increas*
i ing demand for this valuable nieoictne, the proprie
j tor has entered largely into the business—bottles
are procured having ‘‘Colleton Bitters” moulded in
them—they are also numbered, sealed and stamp
ed with an appropriate motto. Price $ i per bottle

Os the Colleton Bitters —”(purely a Vegetable
Compound ” ami which, from the confidence i have
in the character and integrity of the maker and pro
prietor thereof, 1 verily believe to be true,) i en
tertain the most favorable opinion. Several of my
personal friends and acquaintances, long afflicted
with Dyspepsia, have as.-ured me that they have
found these Bitters better than any other raedicim
they ever tried, for that distressing di e.o-e. And I
take the pleasure further to state that I nave wit
nessed tne excellency of these Bitters, in nausia,
sick-ht-adaehe, and bowel complaint; in this last
particular, I have seen the Colleton repeatedly and
successfully tested among the cl.inir nos my . r:
house-hold. No family ought to he without tnlx in
valuable medicine,
