OUR C OUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS. _J J -L-L. Hdiuess Habils of Americans, 7l i* air acknowledged Inct, with all classes of foreigners that have visited this country, that there is no nation on the face of the earth so restlessly enter prising ns the American. This is, no doubt, partially owing to the many av enues continually opening to the indtis irious man, and the constantly increas ing demand for products of every kind. But il there is no country at the present time where fortunes are so rapid ly acquired, there is also none in which positive success in business is less certain. It is a strange admission to make, but we believe the assertion to be strictly true, that there are more failures in /America in one year, than there are in the sum length o| time in the whole continent of Europe. Something of ibis arises, doubtless, from the greater number ol persons in business among ns, in propor tion to population ; but die main reason lies in (be dashing manner in which busi ness is carried on, the loose system of credit, the slender capital upon w hich a large amount of business is usually based and the extravagance and speculative spirit of the people. The consequence of this stale of tilings is, that there is so absolute a dependency placed upon the facilities usually rendered by Banking institutions, that immediately a serious money crisis lakes place, half die busi ness men of the country are either ruined utterly, or so serious'y crippled in their resources, that many years must pass be fore they can fully recover their fortn< r position. If iltei* reverses have taught them to operate iu future with caution and prudence, it may be a lesson not too dearly bought alter all. But would it not have been better to have conducted business cautiously and pindemly from the beginning ? A man who plants one loot firmly in advance, before lie lifts the other, is in little danger of a fall ; but lie wl o dashes ahead hurriedly, witli - out looking before and about him, rutrs a constant risk not otily of stumbling him self, but of dragging down others w ith him. Spiritual (tappings. Mr. Nathaniel Randall writes to the New York Tribune from Woodstocks, Vermont, concerning the progress of die , spiritual t appings iu dial State. He is a i respectable gentleman. He says that 1 these demonstrations were first observed iu that quarter last summer, when the ‘medium’ was a boy Iront Clermont, N. Hampshire, who was driven out of town by n mob who unanimously condemned die whole pietence as a blasphemous im , posture and took litis method (on (lie 3 i t and 4th bl July) to testify their love of t liberty. Since then the fiire has kindled and I spread ; until now there are about fifty t families in that town whereof one or more members are ‘mediums,’and die matiifes tallons have been witnessed from day to day by the citizens of all classes, wlios> conclusion is nearly unanimous that the ‘mediums’ are not imposters, whatever the cause of these singular demonsfra | tions may be. Many believe them to lie I caused by the spirits of their deceased ltietldi*i fi'AZ’-* *nm*i The fuel- that the ‘manifestations,’ whatever their origin, are extending in various quarters (says the Tribune) seems worthy of notice. •i r ‘ 1 — In a Dilemma. — We were nitre It a mused by and incident which allied of uiiis relatt dMo us the other day. A ‘ gentleman who had been absent tor n 1 considerable time, and who during his absence, bad raised a pretty luxuriant ‘ crop of whiskers, moustaches, Si. *, vis- 1 ited a relative, whose child—tut artless little girl of five or six years —he was s very loud of. The little girl made no t demonstration* towards saluting him t with a kiss ns was usual. t “Why chiku” said the mother, “don’t t you know your uncle Hitutn l Why dont you give him a kiss {’’ • “Why ma,” returned the little girl, *| with the most perfect simplicity, “ I dont | see any place.’’ ‘Massa wants to know if you can't set- i tie dis small bill to-day, kase be w ants the money bad, said a datkey, yesterday, ( to a genllroan.’ | ‘No, 1 can’t’ This is the third , time you have come for money to-day.

A farmer named Ken lle, hired n fellow who had a knat k sit poetry making, to write his epithspli.— He was to give the poet a dinner and supper for the job. \fter the first meal, he sit down and began thus; There was a mail w ho died of late, For whom angel- did impatient wait.

Keazle was much pleased with this and beggetf the writer to go on ; but lie tie (•Mnetf-finishing the epitaph until he had barf his supper. That over, lie put tin his hat and Coat, a,id then wound up his verse in these words: But while they disputed for the prize, Still hovering round the lower skies, /n slipped tile- like a weasel And down to —he kit ked old Keazle After w hicli he tnnjv to his heels, and old Keazle alter him with a horsewhip.
