Yon cannot expect persons tp utter profound wisdom every time they speak, and small-talk serves to render persons in some degree acquainted and sociable before more important topics arise. Besides, good subjects arise out of small-talk; and conversation that begins in trifles frequently end in matters of high profit. From the. London Times, April Horrors of the Coolie Trade* We have received fey—the last Ovprbuul China Chronicle gome dreadful revelations as to the trade in Coolies. It appears that there is now organized in the southern ports of China a system of kidnapping to the full as bad as auy practised by the native chiefs of Africa, in the worst days of tho slave trade. The information is brought before us in strictly official form. The al- j lied Commnndcrs-in-Chicf, on the 12th of | January of the present year, addressed a . letter upon tho subject to the Consular body at Canton. They erfclosed the depositions of one hundred and five men, lately taken from ccrtain Coolie receiving ships at Whampoa. Three of these ships were American, tho fourth was an Oldenburg barque. The Coolies had been kidnapped, and a nominal consent to an eight years' engagement in Cuba was wrung from them by torture. The Commanders-in- Chief tell the Consuls that they used every precaution to gaurJ against deception in taking the depositions.

WHOLESALE GROCER, Sighed for Rest? ufactured, is essentially the same as that smoked by the red man when firstvisited by Columbus. We may here describe an Indian mode of tobacco taking, which is evidently the origin Of the cigar. It is told by Lionel Wafer, in his account of " His Travels in the Isthmus of Darien, in 1G90." He says that when the tobaoco leaves arc properly dried and cured, the natives "laying two or three leaves • upon one another, they roll up altogether sidcwayb in a long roll, yet leaving a little hollow. Round this roll other leaves, one after another, in the same manner, but close and hard, till the roll is big as ones fist, and two or three feet in length. Their way of smoking when they are in company together is thus: a boy lights one end of a roll, and burns it to a cole, wetting the part next to it to keep it from wasting too fast. The end so lighted he puts into his mouth and blows the smoke through the whole length of the roll into the face of every ono of the company or council, there be two or three hundred of them.— Then they, sitting in their usual posture upon forms, make their haud held together, a kind of funnel round their mouth and noses ; into this tliey receive the smoke as ever they are able to hold their breath, and seeming to bless themselves, as it were with the refreshment it gives them." is nitciy to be canvassca at the Chicago Convention, with reference to the I'resi•wdency, the following letter from his penwritten nearly tnrelveyearsago, but expressing his deliberate and unchanged convictions on tho issue of the day—will be read with marked interest:— the post office, annually find thei/ way to ♦ho dead letter office at Washington—a bourne from which very few of those misguided missives ever return.

Columbus, Ohio, July 28,1848 New-York, Sept. SI, 1850. Gentlemen :—I have delayed an answer to your communication of the 11th instant that I might have time for mature reflection. This was due to you, to myself, to the subject, and perhaps to the country. I have endeavored to consider the matter in all its aspects and consequenoes. The great and exciting question of slavery extension, in the judicial form it has assumed by the act of the Senate, as it bears upon my position on the bench, the use of my name in the present canvass, and the rejection of it by the Ohio delegates to the National Convention, the relation which Mr. Van Buren maintains to the public, have all been deliberately considerod, and I am brought to tho conclusion that I ought not to go before the Buffalo Convention as a candidate for thj Presidency. I feci deeply and gratefully the honor you have done me by the expression of your kindness and confidence in connection with that high offioe. Resting upon the prinoiples of the Constitution, as they have been judicially settled, the free States, by moderation, vigilance and firmness, may prcventShe extension of slavery to the free territory lately annexed. Without the sanction of law, slavery can no more exist in a territory than a man can breathe without air. Slaves are not property where they are not made so by the municipal law. The legislature of a territory can exercise no power which is not conferred on it by act of Congress. C*At. iTANTOH, H«K*T ■ntLDON, t:HAt-MCDOUOALL PETER SIDES WITS STANTON, SHELDON & CO.

A reverential regard for religious observances and religions opinions is a distinguishing trait of a refined mind. AV hatever your opinions on the subject, you are not to intrude them on others, perhaps to the shaking of their faith and happiness. Religious topics should be avoided in conversation, except whore all are prepared to coneur in a respectful treatment of the subject. In mixed societies, the subject should never be introduced. Mount VkunoN Aoaix.—More Money Wanted.—Although the Ladies' Association Lave fairly obtained possession of Mount Vernon, tlieir financial troubles have Spitting is a filthy habit, and annoys one in almost every quarter, in-doors and out. Since vulgarity has had its way so extensively amongst us, every youth bfegins to smoke and Bpit before he has well cut his teeth. Smoking is unquestionably so great a pleasure to those accustomed to it, that it must not bo condemned; yet the spitting associated with it detracts very much from the eujoyment. No refined person will spit whero ladies arc present, or in any public promenade. The habit is disgusting in the extreme, and one would almost wish that it could be checked in public by means of law. The kidnapping process is carricd on by the native Chinese, who pick up their unwary countrymen in the suburbs and outlying portions of the town, and then oonvey them on board Chinese boats, and so, in due course, on board tho foreign ships. The Chinese agents decoy or force the victims on board their boat*, and torture them until they wring from them a consent to become "free emigrants." The forms of torture employed are various. Their hands are tied together, and a wedge is hammered in between them. Their thumbs and great toes are tied together, their tails tied up, and they arc thus hoisted off the deck and suspended in the air, while a lighted joss stick is applied to their ancles. They arc ducked in the/iver; they arc threatened with death ; thcSy'nre thrown into the river in baskets ; and various other forms of torture arc employed, until tlicy consent to dip their finger in ink, and thus impress their mark upon tho "agreement." The Madarins, real or supposed, appear to be the chief agents in these acts of cruelty. But it would be useless to examine into this part of the question at any length, for it is obviously a matter of indifference whether the foreign traders in human flesh execute these acts of cruelty by their own hand or by the hands of their native agents. The idea that they can be ignorant of the coercion employed to force the wrctchcd coolics on board is too preposterous to admit of discussion. companion JEROME H. MILLER, ATTORNEY AT LAW. not ended.

LAWTON lias removed his office and residence to the first house south of the bridge, River Street, West l'ittston. August 24th, 1869. Lieutenant Pago who commanded the American expedition to La Plata, speaks of the universal custom of smoking in Paraguay, and inviting visiters to join. The servants, as a matter of routine, bring in a " smull brass vessel, containing a few coals of fire and a plate of cigars. This last hospitality is offered in every house, however humble its pretentions in other respects; and all men, women and children, delicate and refined girls, and young master who would not with us be promoted to the dig-- nity of pantloons—smoke with a gravity and gusto that is irresistubly ludicrous to a foreigner. My son sometimes accompanicd me in these visits, and was always greatly embarrassed by the pressing offer of cigars. I made his cxcusc by saying, smoking is a practice we consider injurious to children. " Si, senor," tho Paraguayan would reply, with all other tobacoo, but not that of Paraguay. With both sexos tobacco is a constant pus«ion." Practical inen whom I have consulted on the subject, estimate that it will cost from 8?,000 to 810,000, annually to cover the expenses which must be incurred if Mount Vernon is to be kept in repair and provided with a forco sufficient to protect and preserve the house and grounds in security and good order worthy their future national position. Of this sum, the annual receipts from visitors may furnish $1,500 to 2,000, although those of the past year only, amounted to $1,223 25; but the remainder cauuot safely be relied on, except from a principal invested so as to yield the requisirc interest. Sulkincss is not often indulged in by grown people, but we have seen lamentable instances of men, otherwise possessed of considerable sense, who would sulk for several weeks together, and during that time refrain from speaking a word to the most familiar acquaintance, and. this, too, for some imaginary offencoj or, if not imaginary, so trifliug as to be unworthy of notice. Such conduct is childish in the extreme ; it marks the first step in the dissolution of the mind, and, if indulged, must lead at last to hypochondriasis, or perhaps to a drivelling and dolorous insanity. The picture of the sulky man is beyond the region of the pitiful life, it is luughable ; and we do laugh, in the same way as we should at the antics of a melancholy mokey. 3LUZEHNE HOUSE, WEST PITTSTON, Luzerne County, Penna.

We are not to sneer at the vanitjb of others and endeavor to mortify them therein, but first look to ourselves that we are not equally vain in our own particular manner. A vain display is always an abject thing, and may be dispensed with profitably. Encouragement to Home Industry. —Our people havo no doubt learnt one important lesson through the political agitations of the day, and that is that the majority of the evils complained of may be remedied by encouraging home industry. Home industry as we understand it, means the products of our meohanics who live among us, and the earnings of which products arc spent in the communiny where produced. The blacksmith forges his iron for customers at home, and if he could not command that custom, would be obliged to shut up his shop. The tailor expects to make coats and vests for the grocer and dry goods men of whom he buys the ne. ceeessarics of life, and the merchant who buys a large stock of goods expects to sell them to the community among whom he iltould make such purchases as he requires- And this rule again, should or might be extend to all callings and professions. If the lawyer expects to plead our cause in court, ho must expeet to give his patronage to those who support him. But if our merchants who sell their goods here expect to sell the shoemaker cloth, and then send to Philadelphia for a fancy pair of boots, the son of St. Crispin may revenge himself the same way, and all of us will be compelled to go to some othar place for patronage and support. The proper way in a community is to resolve to support each other in this matter, and then perhaps the "good timo" so long looked for may arrive. —Reading Daily Timet. April stuth, 1800. WINCHESTER & CO J6SJ- Whilo the Pryor-l'ottcr controversy was going on in Washington, a vote of the house was called upon some minor matters. When Mr. Potter's name was called, an old Dutch member from Pennsylvania, who never takes up timo unless he has something to say to the point, rose in his place and excused Mr. Potter thus:— "Misther Shpeaker, I will shust say ash how Mr. Potter has a Pryor engagement." Both sides of tho IIouso aud the galcrica united in an uproarious explosion of mirth at the Hon. member's sally of wit, and it was only chcckod to be redoubled, when, after the name of Mr. Pryor was called, the same old Hans arose and said :—"Vol, Mr. Shpeaker, Mishter Pryor has gono to pe ash clay in te hands of to Potter."— For gome momens tho scene in tho House was iudiscribable, and for the once, five pound bowio knives and shot-fed rifles were at u discount. Gentlemen's Furnishing Store, * AND PATENT SIIOUEDEIt SEAM 8IIIRT We often have inward promptings of the vulgarity of our actions ; thero is a sort of instinctive propriety in all of uar and whenever we heed these motions from within, we are pretty sure to be in the right. If you have a doubt at auy time of the propriety of an action, let instinct guide you, and you arc safe. I have observed that it is very common for persons to talk very loud when in conversation with foreigners, as if increase in noise would compensate for difficulties of mutual understanding. In omnibus and railway traveling there is a good deal of bawling, treading on toes, thrusting of elbows into sides, crushing, crowdiifg, aud running to aDd fro. In the midst of all this confusion, the gentleman, punotual to time, walks with case to his place, takes his seut without hurry or noise, and, in securing his own comfort, regards the comfort of others by a spirit of conciliating accommodation. Rudeness on such occasions causes annoyanpc to all who witness it. No. 706 CHESTNUT Street, Abore Seventh, opposite the Washington House, Salutations should be suited to the partics saluted. It is a point much disputed upon whom tho obligation of the fust salute lies when persons of different age or condition meet. The best rule is for tho younger to salute the senior, as was the custom with the ltomaus. In meeting a lady, there is ; the lady salutes first, or no recognition takes plabe. I have often been amazed by being stopped in the street and held by the hand by a person of whom I had no recollection whatever, until he told ine he had met me at such a place some months ago. In such a case, a bow is all that is allowed, and this is always to be returned, whether you remember the person or not; but to halt, aud insist on shaking hands, and entering upon some complimentary smalltalk is quite an error unless the parties are on terms of actual acquaintance. And here I am reminded of the prevalence, at the present day, of protracted street salutations. You aro suddenly met by an acquaintance who bears down upon you as the Chesapeake bore down upon the Shannon. You are seized as in a vice, and your hand held for several minutes. Then follow sundry questions about your health, when you saw Smith last, how Ilobison's wife is, what news is there. All this takes up valuable time, obstructs the causeway, and ends in annoyance. Why not shuke hands heartily, but briefly, exchange the compliments of "Good-day," with mutual inquiiies after wives aud families, and then part, each to attend to his own affairs, and each regarding his own business aa too Flue Sill ItT8 ami DR.UVKH3 made from measurenient at a fuw days notice «n«l in all ease* WARRANTED to fit.

Bad Character.—We always were aware of the importance of preserving a good reputation for truth and honesty, but we have mot with nothing lately, so well calculated to impress the disadvantages of a bad character upon the mind, as the following anecdote.

We do not suppose that it was the . intention of the persons who established this system of Chinese contract lubor, as a corrective of the African sluvo trade, to introduce auother system, which was just the slave trade over again in another latitude, and in another quarter of the globe. In many respects, indeed, it is worse that a Chinaman should be kidnapped than an African negro, inasmuch as it can scarcely be pretended that a Chinaman is even indirectly the gainer by being removed from a condition of comparative civilization to one of absolute barbarism. lie is worse off as a bondsman in Cuba than when following his ordinary occupation in his native town. From other sources we know of the frightful mortality which prevails among the coolic immigrants who bto omployed upon the-sugar plantations in Cuba. It would be difficult, indeed, to placo a human being in a more desparate position, for the Spanish planter docs not feci even that moderate degree of interost in his captivc which he would in a slave, from the fact that tho slave was his own proporty. Nor is it a fair argument that the Chinese themselves are the cheif agents in kidnapping their countrymen. It is the foreign traders who pay the premium on their perfidy and cruelty. GEO. W. BRA1NERD & CO., GROCBRS, A mortal fever prevailed on board a ship at sea, and a negro man was appointed to throw the bodies of those who died from time to time overboard. One day when the captain was on dock, he saw the negro dragging out of the forecastle a sick man who was strugling violently to extricate himself from the negroc's grasp and remonstrating very bitterly agaiust the cruelty of being buried alive. lOS Murray, near West Street, OKO.

Heart Force.—A man's forcc in th# world, othor things being equal, is just in the ratio of the force and strength of his heart. A full-hearted man is always a powerful man ; if he be erroneous, then he is powerful for error; if the thing is in his heart, he is sure to make it notorious, even though it may be a downright falsehood. LcUa man be ever so ignorant, still if his heart be full of love to the cause, he becomes a powerful man for that object, bccause ho has heart-power, hcart-force.— A mau may be deficient in many of thi» advantages of education, in many of thosa nicoties whioh arc so much looked upon in socicty; but orce glvo him a strong heart that beats hoard, and there is no mistake about power. Lot him have a heart that is right full up to the brim with an object, and that man will do the thing, or else he will die defeated, and will glory in his defeat. Heart is power. Avoid all boasting and exaggerations, hack-biting, abuse, and evil speaking; slang phrases and oaths in conversation ; depreciate no man's qualities, and accept hospitalities of the humblest kind in a hearty and appreciative manner; avoid giving offence, and if you 'do offend, have the manliness to apologize ; infuse as much elegance as possible into your thoughts us well as your actions ; and as you avoid vulgarities, you will increase the enjoyment of life, and grow in the respect of " What are you going to do with that man, you black rascalsaid the Cap- tain, " Going to throw him overboard, masea, cause he dead."

Silence IN Nature.—It is a rcmarkablo and instructive fact, that many of the most important operations of nature are carried on in unbroken silence. There is no creaking of heavy axles or groaning of cumbrous machinery as the solid earth whcclB on its way, and every planet and system performs its revolutions. The great trees bring forth their boughs aud shadow the earth boneath them—the plants coVer themselves with buds, and the buds burst into flowers; but the whole transaction is unheard. The change from snow and winter winds to the blossoms and fruits and sunshine 6f summer is seen in its slow development, but there is scarcely a sound to tell the mighty transformation. The solemn chant of the ocean, as it raises its unchanged and unceasing voice, the roar of the hurricane, and the soft notes of the breese, the rushing of the mountain river, and the thunder of the blaok-browed storm, all this is the music of nature—a gr0b and swelling anthem of praise, breaking in on the universal calm. There is a lesson for us here the mightiest worker in tho Universe is the most unobtrusive. XDB. J. M. BARRETT, MHIPItMo Office Three D on belt w Steele'! Hotel. On North side of Public Square.

" I am, sir." April 19, 1860 ly. Besides the positive and certain evil inflicted upon so many wretched creatures, another and a sufficient reason for interfering on behalf of the coolies is that, if the kidnapping is persovered in, it will soon put au end to the system of free emigration altogether. If we would set in motion an effective stream of labor from China to our own or the Spanish possessions, or elsewhere, this result can only be brought about by fair dealing. The Chinese are willing emigrants; proof of the fact is forthcoming at Singapore, in Australia and California. There is, indeed, no reason why, with common sense and fair dealiHg, China should not become the great labor market of the tropical world. All nations, howover must be ooutont to deal with the Chinaman fairly, to involve him in none but voluntary engagements, tp pay him a reasonable hire, and so to deal with him in all things that ho may beat favorable report to his countrymen of the treatment which he had ree«ivod.
