He should learn the art of labor saying. This may be done by accumulation and uae of books of reference, such as dietionaaies, cyclopedias, and tkorwugh systematic treatise on aoience and art. He should also gradually form a collection of the masters in elegant literature and history. The little time which such a man can command for the purposes of study, forbids the idea of any Tery extended courses of reading. Let him use his books of reference in searching out such historical fhcts and allusions, and auch questions tn scienceand literature as from time to time arrest his attention. He will thus 'fall Into the habit of investigating subjects rattier than readiag many books eontineusiy. -So doing, he Wltajsimt Mr*»qi«ryi *Bd :iypid that | locse and desultory reading which burdens the NEWSPAPER ERRORS.

It is related thai* celebrated English author once determined to publish a biook which should be free fretn every imperfection and error. Toacoeasplish this result, tbe most cartful and experienced proof readers were first secured *e follow each other upon the sheets, and *beo, after numerous revisions bad beeu aaki, clesn proofs were posted •upon the walls of the University Library, and alreward «( a guinea offered for every error that could be shown upon them. After being subjected to this careful and searching ordeal the work was pronounced perfect in every part and sent to press, but upon beiifg issued therefrom, lol' a most glaring typographical error was found upon the title page. *We copy the following from the Asvsinsu'i Gazkttb, a collection it ha# for aaveral months been gathering from vorious exchanges, Erroneous in construction, and of such a nature aa at best to. defy the printer's art, we may unquestionably set down such as these: "The clsssic London Sptetat&r makes a curious sfip when it speaks of Matilda Griggs who "was rtabbed by a lover to whom she had borne a ch-td in thirteen placea." We extract from the address of PiofessorCon pee, delivered to tbe graduating clsss of West Point, a graphic version of tbe treaaoa of Benedict Arnold, which, ss one one of tbe most impressive lessons of history, oaanot be too fr#l quntly reviewed by American youth, or hearkened to by men ef mature years: Antf now, gentlemen, let me spend the very short time allotted to me in elaborating ene thought „f - common interest to cadets. I find the text in the words of our immortal Washington, and a few statistics of the Revolutionary kistoryi doubtless well known to yon all, moat be given to elucidate it. On the 22d of September, 1784, General Arnold returned from his interview with Msjor Andre, at and near the house of Jesna Hett Smith, to Beverly, snd then made ail preliminary arrangements for the surrender of this post, but without, as far as is known, taking any one into his confidence. On tbe 24tb, tbe British were to come up the river and tske west Point. T(Us was well timed, ** — WagbiDgton was not expected to ret«rn.fros» Hardford until the 28th. Most unexpectedly, however,he changed hie plans and returned through Duchess county to Ffshkillon the 24th He stayed that night with the French Ambas- was there, and in happy ignoraaoe of the snsky treason, whose final coil was being wound, he took the saddle before dawn on the 25th, in order to reaeh General Arnold'* headquarters in time to breakfast with the General and Mrs. Arnold, snd then to inspect the work at West Point Some soldiers had gone before with Washingten's baggage, to aanooce his perpeee to Arnold ; but aa he approached Arnold's hone, he turned off toward the river. Lafayette, who wss riding with him, exclaimed: "General that is the wrong way; yen know Mra. Arnold is wsiting for us." Washington replied, la a pleasant way, "All the yonng men are in love with Mrs. Arnold," and added, "Go nnd take your breakfast, and tell Mrs. Arnold not to wait for me; that I wTlTbe there by and by." 80 the staff went to Arnold's bouse and took breakfast, the countenanoe Of tb'e host, oold-blooded as was the man, being unable to ooneeal his secret trouble and misgivings. The British had not come, and there was no tidings. Washington had arrived two days sooner than he was expected. While at breakfast, Lieutenant Alien, of Arnold's command, came in with a let- 1 ter. It wss from below. He tore it open, expecting to read news of the enemy's movement up the river. Horror and astonishment; the tidings were from Msjor Jameson, that Major Andre wiDs in his hands, a prisoner and a spy. Leaping from his seat, he announced to hi* guests that an urgent message called for hia presence at West Point, and he left that as a message, should General Washington arrive before his return ,* be would return, hejsaid, as aoon as possible. He then went to his wife's room,and sent lor her. In a few words he announcee the necessity of going atonoe to the British linear- Leaving her in a swoon on tbe floor, he rasbed out, mounted one of the horses of General I Washington's cavalcade in waiting at the door, galloped down a steep pathway to Beverly doek.got into a six-oared barge, snd ordered the oarsmen to pull with a will for Teller's Point, promising tbem an extra ration of rum and a C reward in money and telling tbem that be was hurrying that he might transact his business there snd return without delay to meet General Washington. . . As they passed Teller's Point, and nearod the Vulture man-of-war, b» -r — ■ ■ _^f| handkerchief as a flag of truce, and reached the British ship, a traitor, in safety—a villain rader protection which could not fail. It waa a race for life, and he won it. Just aftar Ar- . ; nold's flight Washington arrived at Beverly.— On being told that Arnold had gone to West Point, he took a hasty brsakfaat, and harried over to meet bim there. As tbe boat approached the landing, Washington was surprised to find that there was to salute, an4 no guard turned out to receive bim. Indeed, the commanding officer, Colonel Lamb, ef the artillery, was leisurely strolling down the path as the barge landed. Confused wlien he saw the General-in-Chief, be stammered out out: "Had I any idea year Excellency was coming I would have given your Exoellency a proper reception." "Sir," exclaimed Waabington, "is not Gen. Arnold here f "No sir. He haa not been , , here these two days, and I have not heard from him in that time." Astonished and recurring to bis old suspicions, Washington inspected the 1 words, and returned about noon to AraeM'a house. There Hamilton met him with the proofs ef the treason, all the paper* taken in Andre's boot, whioh had by just arrived. The L messenger had arrived just four hours after Arnold's escape. Looking sround him he turned to Knox snd Lafayette, and said in a solemn, almost heart-broken manner, "Whom ean we trust now ?" OS. STARK, . ATTORNEY AT LAW, PITTSTON, PENN'A. Bounty, Back Pay.

Books are now so numerous that the most diligent scholar mast consult the mass of books on specific topics While he reads through comparatively few. It ia fashionable to ridicule index and title page knowledge; but it must be remembered that he who knows where knowledge is, and how to obtin it, is in a position nearly equal to the man ho has it &lroa4y.

It is clear that the number of young men who enter a business life, after having received a liberal education, is constantly increasing.— It is clear also that oar beat and ablest merchants desire on the part of their employees a higherxinye of intelligence and a greater degree o( mental discipline, than was thought requisite in former years. evidence for both of the Sbove statements is abundant. But my design is not to make an argument in favor of giving mercbantile or mechanical life a college education (though I believe it to be desirable), but to point oat some practical methods by which those who have already passed the period of elementary, training and are already engaged in business can secure growth, power an J breadth of intellect. There is a common and somewhat vague distinction drawn between 4trade and a liberal profession on the ground that the one requires little beyond manual skill for success, while the other requires a disciplined and well iurnished intellect. Now it is evident that thisiiittinction fails in i(* application: to individuals.

JEWELRY STORE! JAMES SEARLE, These elements which go to make up a good business letter, judged from the commercial point of view alone, are fundamental in the formation of a correct and vigorous literary style. Clearness is the beginning, and almost the and, of literary excellence. It is by seeking after this excellence alone that so many comparatively uneducated business men furnish in their correspondence of clear, compact and vigorous writing. Let the young clerk remember that in business correspondence words stand for money. The looseness and incoherence of expression, or careless selection of words, may entail the gravest mercantile disaster. It as necessary for a merchant to write well as it is for an editor or a clergyman. This remark applies in an almost equal degree to the mechanic and the farmer. In the process of buying and selling, business men aoquire great facility in vocal utterance. If he is as careful in his conversation with hit astomers as he should be in writing to em, be may readily aoquire the power of expressing himself with the tongue an correctly as with the pen. When the power of addressing one man with clearness sal vigor, has been acquired, he may use thaV power upon a doses or a thousand. There is no reason, in nature of things, why a merchant should "trot cultivate expression in complicated and obstinate negotiations as successfully as the lawyer in his .intercourse with courts and juries. The great trouble with men in learning to write and speak well is in the. attempt to compass something better than plftin good sense expressed in plain and simple words. Wellington was once persuading an able member of Parliament to enter a cabinet which he was forming. The I gentleman excused himself on the ground that be could not speskin the House of Commons. "Pshaw 1" said the Iron Duke, "do as I do; say what you think and don't quote latin." TEMPERANCE RESTAURANT.

Such men »nv«»t lew processes ia the necbanical arts, contrive end improve laborsaving machines, strike oat new channels of trade, forsee and evade financial crisis, anticipate the re»ult of .increased safety, cheapness , and rapidity in the transmission of goods and intelligence, make successful experiments in stock-breeding, fruit-raising, drainage and manure*. On the other every careful .observer knows that the learned professions furnish manifold example* of men-who preach, teacli, practice medicine, and law on principles as mechanical as those of the organ-grinder.— It is evident that the relative dignity of different pursuit among mania not to be seught in the pursuits themselves, but rather in the amount of intelligence which is brought to bear upon them. All growth,  in every department of hcman activity is due to those who bring to ordinary -process of labor the action of a clear and thoughtful mind—to those who,think while .they week. Hern we. have an.Uftistration of what give* digaity to labor. The commonest handicraft may by the intelligence and culture of him who exercises it be elevated to the rank of a learned profession. Every learned profession, if practiced with a blind deference with ready furnished rules, precedents, and decisions, without any apprehension of their ultimate ground, in the nature ef things becomes a mere mechanical trade. Prom these general consideration!, we see the value of education founded in general principals for every calling in life. A man becomes a better merdhad j^T«better meeKanic, a better farmef,, in the proportion that he is educated up to a comprehension of those genial principles which underlie bis department of labor. The value of that education which by common consent is called liberal to all classes in society mnst be admitted by all thoughtful persons. But .the proportion of young men who can spare the time and money to obtain such a course of education, before entering upon business, is comparatively small. What course, then, shall a young man pursue, whom circumstances have forced into practical Hie with a limited course of elementary training? Is he to assume that the time for mental improvement has passed? Or is it possible for him, without neglecting his daily duties, to make continuous acquisitions in literature and science? jfe believe it is. Education for our present purposes may be considered as designed to secure discipline, knowledge, and power of expression. Any man occupying a position of trust or control in the management of a business of whatever kind- must of necessity give to it thought He most acquire knowledge of a vast number of details connected with his oceupation. Tbese must be analyzed, classified, reduced to order. Rules of action mut be evolved for them. These rules of action or general prinoiplea must be verified and tested, and their inadequacies noted. These processes of analysis, generalization, and verification, if gone through with in the light of common sense and practical judgment, will furnish a body of truths relative to the business pursued which may justly be called scientific. In these processes of thought, which becomo to the business matter of daily duty and necessity, he acquires intellectual discipline of a character not inferior in thoroughness to that obtained by the study of those scientific treatises which are made the basis of education in schools for .liberal culture. The power to think i« clearly and sharply on one class of subject assists us in thinking upon all other*. Thus the very processes of thought necessary to carry on a business at all complicated will secure a good degree of medal discipline. Thus a ;few years If experience may place the energetic business man on a level in this respect with the regularly trained scholar. But our practical man is liable to be defective in that large knowledge of the experience and thinking of the past which is comprised in history and literature. This universal experience analyzed and condensed in the various tormi of literary art is requisite in order to make mental discipline largely available.

He has been for many years in the employ of the American Bank Note Company, and was, heretofore, in very moderate moneyed circumstances. Now, it is said, the happy man is overwhelmed with communicatiocs from various parts of the country, beseeching him to remember a multitude of charitable institutions in need of funds.

No sooner had he dropped the seed tban he and the others started off as if a bull-dog had been after theui. I was so surprised that I forgot the warning until I saw a vine pushing up from the ground and making for me. Then I ran as if lor life, but before I got to the fence vine caught me and began to wind round me like a snake. I was very much alarmed, and put my hand to my pocket for my jack-knife with which to cut myself loose; but to my horror could not get it on account of a cucumber which hung there and which was growing like blazes!

Opposite the Bank, Grkelky and Chare.—A Washington correspondent says: Horace Greeley was in town the other day, and of course the newspapers have had elaborate theories of his "mission." By and by it may occur to them that the lead ing member of the National Executive Committee is likely to have occasion to visit the Capital some time during the campaign without publishing to the world the exact object for which Le came. Mr. Greeley views the Cbaae movement philosophically. "I'm willing that they should invade our party to get one candidate," said he, "but it would be rather steep if they should want to take both. Chase and Sumner, now, as a Democratic ticket,'would be a little too strong.
