Its choice Literature, its a aunerior Music, its larze amount of valuable C ' w information on miscellaneous subjects, its practical and reliable information in regard to the fashions, and artistic itinerations, give it a just claim to its well-earned title, "The Model Magazine of America." - VV3iy so IT! any Fail in From the New Jersey Mechanic Failures in business are by the un fortunate attributed generally to every case but the true one. We all prove ourselves the sons and daughters ofaltuost jncrcdib!e number of seven mil 2ve, by endeavoring t IOus. From three to four pounds ol "' Adam and .E attribute, as the cause ol our m islor- tunes, some indiscretion of some incau tious fraud or Wily enemy. Very gooduefcs of heart and anxiety to please others, are often,the causes of embarrassment in trade, aud the final unfortunate cause of the winding up of a career auspicious at its opening. But extravagance in dress and equi-' page, and keeping up princely estab ijsfom-ents are the causes of a majority of American failures. Americans are seldom miserly. Nearly all of that class -now among us have been im portations. The aircicnt Asturs and Girards were not natives of the United Elates. Americans love money as well as the natives of other countries, and their efforts to accumulate wealth are as great; but their anxiety to enjoy it, ; and to uiak as large a display bs possi ble, forbid that thJy should ever be come misers. Thty worship wealth, not for its intrinsic value, and because it furnishes all the requisite materials to gTatify the lusts of the flesh, and the Juits of the eye, and the pride of life." And when .thus self has to be gratified, the devotee has launched -upon a stormy ocean. 13 ut youDg and tinexperiened mer chants are not willing to admit that their style of living, dress and equipage is extravagant. They argue that their position the nature of their business and surroundings, demand that they should keen ud the appearance of wealth, and the display ot pecuniary tnoV pendence. They say, we are com pelled to mingle with merchants en gaged in the same-line of business with ourselves We meet with them not only on 'Change, but io the social, literary, and business circles : and our families uro on terms . ol intimacy, ana it is absolutely necessary for us to live In as good a house, and to keep up as fine an establishment, as those with whom we associate. We would be ostracised and Jose caste in the community, were we to fall below their standard of mercan tile gentility, dress and equipage - Our establishments and style of living must be characteristic of our circle. I he youthful trader has but a vague idea of i l I f . the seii-aeniai pracuaeu ior mauy yva by his senior. The wife and daughters of his prosperous neighbor over the way once dressed in calico and did their own house work. The young man has but a remote conception of the carelul watch ing and laborious toiling by which his ;eeniorg ascended the ladder of wealth and afflusnee. In a word, to descend to plain mat ters of fact, young and ambitious men enter a mercantife career with all the extravagance of a long-established nouse. in the vain hope that by show uuu uispiay tney shall command a businesfthat not ouo in a thousand ever realized but by sleepless vigilance, un- meaBmBmBsamamsm tiring iudtistry, great energy, strict ecouomy, and u good capital. hvcry young man entering the gteat commercial circle on his own account, should have before him, in letters of liht, the fact that in our great Eastern cities more than ninety per cent. 01 all who engage in trade fail. Some learn wisdom by what they suffer and lose, and try, try again, and finally suc ceed. The fact that so few succeed should be a lessunno the most sanguine to move cautionsly. It should influ ence them not only to be industrious, but to 'start with the determination to speud nothing unnecessarily. . Business always before pleasure, should be their motto. " We would urge all to recognize the claims of the poor, the needy, and the distressed: but while doing so, always to bear iu mind that men should not act from mere impulse, even in striving to be good. u lie just before you are generous." Deny self, that you may have to give to the widow and orphan, lie humble that you may be exalted, and reflect how much pleasanter it is to be always asceudiug the ladder ol wealth and prosperity, than to be placed on the highest round and then to be compelled to come down step by step painfully, or to be hurled from the .top without a word of warning. THEMKIN How few persons understand the at mechanism and physiology of the ex ternal covering of tbeir own bodies ; and seldom do we find individuals who possess the most remote idea of the important part the- skin plays in the preservation of health wheo its func tions are properly performed, or the alarming consequences the injury of its offices produces. Each square inch of surfare throughout the body contain 2,800 pores, aud the' Dumber of square inches of surface in a man of ordinary titAtnrn is nprlr !.50O. tiiakinir the eicrementitious matter makes its exit through these pores in twenty-four hours, if they are not agglutinated with filth, or contracted by sudden exposure to cold, thus closing the channels which nature designed for the elimina tion of. noxious materials, the retention of which causes diseases of various kinds, by compelling other organs to perform an additional amount of labor, and by acting as a poison, These facts should furnish sufficient evidence to every person of the neces sity of keeping the skin well cleansed, and of the pernicious results of expos ing the body to cold currents of air when in a state of perspiration. Doubtless, thousands of lives are an nually sacrificed through ignorance of the laws which govern the human organism. . If this be true, all intelligent persons most be converted to the belief that knowledge of the human machine and its functions are of infinitely more valued the health and happiness than the amount of drugs consumed in a WT mm year, vvny do not some of our physi cians do more with the pen and tongue to prevent disease, and less with dele terious drugs to remove it, when brought on through ignorance of the causes which brought on through ig norance of the causes which produced a r a m - it f VV by anect to despise doctors who lecture on Anatomy and physiology, sciences which form the basis of a sound medical education ? Why use their influence to disuade persons from attending lectures, which are essential to tfce well-being of every man, woman and child f If a knowledge of these sciences are essential to them, they are cot soja all , , Parents, let your children learn the mechanism of the human body, regard less of those who endeavor to retard the dissemination of knowledge which per tains to the promotion of health, or the prevention of disease. ; Teach them the function of every organ in the body, that each one may know how to operate his own machine, so that his digestive system will need no pills oi emetics to keep it in repair, so that bis liver and lungs will call for no noxious drugs to aid them 4o per form their office, so that man may know more of health and happiness, and less of physic and pKjsicians; t , f. To Clean White . Feathers."-' Draw the feathers gently through a warm soap lather several times, then pass them through tepid, and finally through cold water to rinse them. Then bold them a short distance from the fire J and curl the eeparate parts of the feather as it dries, by, holding a steel knitting-pin in the hand, and drawing each portion of the feather, briskly be t preen the pin and the thumb. A COLO IN TUB HEAD. The Views of John Paul Thereon From Every Saturday J. If any. mistakes are visible in the present writing, attribute them to my having a bad cold. No man alive can spell correctly or write good grammar with a bad coldespecially it . it be a cold in the head. The French waitress, Bridget O'Keefe, spoke to me about it this morning, at breakfast tou aves un rhumi, she said. No one remarked that my rhume was better than my company, but I fejt in my heart that both were bad enough to stand on their own dem rits. One cannot be cheerful with a cold in his head ; the human soul is not disposed to burst forth in song under such conditions. And the worst of it is, one gets, no sympathy from one's friends. You go round with red, swollen uoee, and swollSn, red eyes. Hallo, John 1 What's th matter f" hails the first fellow well met. u A bad cold," you reply. Oh, is that all?" with a sigh of relief. The fact is you feci that you are as much to be pitied as though you had the small pox. And he treats your affection as lightly &s though it were that you had only lost your mother in law. Then the remedies that are suggested for you to try I 'team your head," said my aunt. So 1 was persuaded to hold my head over a bowl of blazing hot water, till it was done through, like an early potato. I am now regarded as her 'ateeined nephew; and it is thought that the may leave me something in her will. As sue never tries her own remedies, however, an early succession to the property does not seem probable Bathing in alt its forms has been recommended to me; for more than a week past I have been a night compan ion of the bath, but it seems to do little good. ''Stuff a cold" has passed info a sort of proverb ; but my head at pre sent is stopped up enough too much to be made available for any practical purpose. I've taken sage advice and sage tea in enormous quantities, but with no perceptible benefit. Hot Scotch whisky, with a little hot water and a slight mingling of lemon peel in it was urged upon mc by a friend, who kindly consented to drop in aud help me take it. I assisted him home at a lato hour of the night, and his wife demanded at the door, in an angry tone, what I had been doing to her husband. That did not do my cold much good. Since theu gin and m obs.se s has been suggested as a sovereign remedy for all the chills that fleh is heir to ; but I turn an cm phatic cold shoulder on all which savor of spirits. My mother writes from the interior of Maine to say that I had better come up there and be " nursed." I think I'll go. There must be about a bushel of bonesct, to say nothing about "other herbs, about the house wisps of nedical weeds, loog stored up against family emergencies. Since the children grew up and went away from home, there has been no ooo to ply with teas and syrups of traditional vir tue j but the gathering of the materials has still gooe on with unfailing regu larity. In my mind's eye, I see myself venturing to draw the file of those accumulated teas No, rather let me sit in my city chair, lifife a patient on a monument, smiling at relief. How did I catch my. cold, yon ask. Ah, there's the rubthence the scries of rubs. A party of girls proposed to me to go aud skate. Before venturing upon the ice, an aged guardian of that fubiic place, who stood with a frozen ook, In a frieze coat, admonished us to " look out for that 'ere hole." Some how I contrived to skate into that air hole. They fished me out with poles. If you want to know how cold the poles are, break through the ice once and be fished out with them. sThey rolled'me on a barrel to restore me, under the impression, ; seemingly, that the vital organ is a barrel organ. They put bricks to my tcet if women would always see to it that their idols stand thus on baked clyt it would be better. There were few things, indeed, that the bystanders did not do for me, except the right thing. One unbuttoned my shirt collar, to relieve me, he said another attempted to empty my pockets ; to relieve me, l suppose. A JNew foundland dog was playing on the bank wnen i leu in. otrange to say, he did not rush to my rescue while struggling In the water, but he went for me imme diately I got on shore.5 ' It may have been generous of him to refrain from attacking me till I got on dry land, but my laith in the humane instincts of that nobld animal is sadly shaken. Had I been a bone, I've no doubt but that Nero would have reseued me and brought me to the shore. Well, I am safe at home again, and will'go no mora gating myself, and the girls may glide. True Courage, He surely was a strong-minded as well as healthy-nerved man, who dodg ed the barbarous tortures of the In dians by a ruse de querre particularly novel and tcrnffic, to wit : During the war oh the North-western frontiers, a Keutuckian and some friends were taken prisoners by the , Indians and Canadian French, and one after another of the prisoners were despatched tnthe most cruel manner, by maiming," hurnr ing, and bastinado The Keutuckian seeing how affairs were going begged a word with one of the chiefs, and being able to make himself understood, that if they spared him, bo would teach them a secret by which neither bullets, swords, or knives could inflict wounds upon them. The Indians paused and after a consultation they agreed to test the secret, and if it proved a real thing they would give the prisoner his free dom. . : - The Kentuckian, accompanied by several Indians, went into the forest and plucked come green herbs, which he bruiaed and rubbed over his neck. "Now," said he, "strike ? Let the strongest man take the heaviest toma hawk and strike a blow upon my neck and see if i effects a wound J" Placing his bare neck upon a fallen tree, the Kentuckian preparod for the blow, and down it came with all the force of the brawny arm of the Indian. But, judge of their surprise, when off fell the brave fellow's head! Death was inevitable, and the courageous Kentuckian chose the quickest and cm painful! This was true, philosophical courage ! And it took a man, perfect to exhibit it. A IiO.so And Successful Stuuo OLE rutt Fa EE dom St. Crispin never had a wore ingenwus follower tbau James A. Hamilton, whose recent escape from a Pennsylvania prison is the most marvelous rogue's work on record-. Hamilton was an old prison bird, and one of the moat dangerous convicts in the Lancaster prison. As signed to a Military "iron clad'' cell, he was set to work at shoe-making. Some time ago he complained that his bench was too low, aud asked fur a couple of pine planks to put under the legs to raiMJ it a tew inches, for weeks ne worked under these boards at night, cutting a hole through the ilor, aud in the daytime covering his traek with the boards. Having cut through the flooring, he reached svlid masonry, and worked upon that with such succes? that, evr iuallv, enough was removed j to admit the passage of hisbody. Hav ing cleared the uja?on-wurk ot a space a foot thick and about three feet broad, he attacked the solid wall from his nar- a row crevice unter the no r. and al though it was three feet thick, he made a breach and parsed safely through, and let himself down two stories by a very thin but exceedingly strong shoe thread. Breakiug into the wash house and carpenter shop, he procured a change of clothes and lumber to coo- struct a ladder with which to pass over the jailyard wall. This ladder was a model of ingenuity. None of the lum ber was stout enomgh to make the sides, so he lathed several slender pieces to gether with bad-cord, and tied broken barrel-staves across for rounds. With this the prisoner found his way to free dom Erly Sunday morning his flight was discovered. In this cell full a cart-load of debris was found carefully stored under his bed, the slats of which were cut in half aud bored at regular distance to make a ladder, which, how ever, he had been unable to get through the peculiar shaped hole jj . which he escaped. . ' : Cube for, Biieumatism.-As so many are suffering from rheumatism, I could do. nothing better than give a re cipe that I know is good. , In the Spring and bummer o! 1500. my wite was to ' WW . r afflicted with it that she could not - use her right arm, and was unable to rise up in: bed.' - We tried many ; liniments, recipes and medicines, but to no pur pose, t Doctors said that nothing could be doue only to cive it time and let it wear away. One day an . old German veterinary surgeon told mo take equal parts of . the best oil of juniper snd spirits of turpentine and aiply to the Part affected. I did so. and in a few days the rheumatism had entirely dis appeared, and my wile was well. A few days later, while at a picnic, she caucht cold, aod was soon as low as ever, Again did we , apply everything we could get, galvanic batteries . and all. We got the above reeipe filled both the oil and spirits being as clear ; as water. and in a few dnys she was again , well, and has remained so, for ; two years Always be sure to use the best quality oil and spirits. owa Ryister, PROFESSIONAL OA RDS, dC I.-XIIVSEY IIIXL, HI.
