FRIENDS WORTH HAvING.-There is
something noble about the self sacrificing
devotedness with which some OF the friends
Of Henry Clay adhered to him, through
good and through evil report-in adversely
and in prosperity. Before the late presi-
dental election, they might have made any
sacrihce for him, and it would have been
attributed to the sefshness Of interested
poilicians-now no such construction can
be put upon the motive. A short time
ago notes which he had endorsed for a
friend, to the amount Of $50 900, fell due
in the New York banks. The person for
whom he endorsed had failed and Mr..
Clay had no means Of raising the amount
without the sacrifice Of his whole property.
He was in daily expectation oc protest
from the bank-at last a package came
post marked New York;" he broke the
seals with heavy heart, and beheld his
cancelled notes.-the old man wept like a
child-few can conceive the luxury of
those tears.
A few Of his friends, in New York had
made up the sum by contribution and paid
his notes at maturity. The first intima-
ton he had of it was their reception after
being cancelled. -Carrol Waterman.
