SMOOTHING OvER.-The N. Y. Evening
Post characterizes the gross and vulgar profanity
of John Van Buren,, which runs through all the
letters OF his published in Mackenzie's classic
secret History of New York Locofocoism, as the
"careless acaggeries of a not over-prudent young
man." If blasphemy which would disgrace a
brothel, and political gambling and stock opera
tions worthy only Of a professed blackleg, are
nothing more than ''careless tCaggeries,'' what,
in the estimation of the Evening Post, are robbie
ries, burg laries, perjures, and even murders =

THE MILLERITEs ATTEMPTING TO RAISE
THE DEAD Last Sunday one of the followers
of Miller and Hines, committed suicide at Nash
ua, n. H., by walking deliberately into the Mer-
rimack river, in presence of several persons on
the opposite side, who could not reach him until
he had drowned. 1t soon became noised about,
among his Miller brethren of the town, number
OF whom repaired to the spot, took charge of the
body, and carried it to one of their own houses.
All at once they became filled with faith that they
could restore him to life, and with that view ac-
tually prayed and sung over the corpse nearly all
Sunday night. It's perhaps needless to say that
they did not make raise.

Of our parsimonious ancestors have informed
us that the fatal waste of fortuse is bysmal
expenses, by the profession Of sums too little
singly TO alarm our caution, and which we
never suffer ourselves TO consider together.
OF the same kind is prodigality Of life; he
that hopes TO look hereafter with satisfaction
upon past years, must learn TO know the pre-
sent value of single minutes, and endeavour
to let no particle Of time fall useless to the
ground. An Italian philosopher expressed
in his motto that was his estate; an estate, in
deed, that will always abundantlg. repay the
