"a new broom sweeps clean,' as
the widow said when her new husband
ran off with all her money.
81 am getting up in the world" as
the shad said when he was drawn oul
of the water.
"That motion is out Of order," rs
the chairman Of a political meeting said,
when rowdy raised his arm to throw
an egg.
i am very hard pushed these tines
as the "heelbarrow said when going
up hill with load of brickbats.

Gumbo was wicked negro, who.
had witnessed the ravages Of the choI-

but seeing his best friends dropping of

gan to have some fears Of giving the

he was won't to afro dat brickbat" in a

thought OF praying. to use his own Ian
guage. "to de angel Oh de Lord,' de-
caring that if he could onl y "be spar

year to be taken up and ''lib ioreber in

separated by board partition, hearing
him at his Gevotions, knocked. "Who

LJcK.-Rev. II. w. Beecher says
in one of his lectures: 81 may here, as
well as anywhere. lmpart the secret Of
good and bad luck. There are men,
who, supposing Providence to have an
impIacabie spite against them, bemonn
in the poverty of Il wretched old age the
misfortunes of their lives. Luck for
ever ran against them and for others.
One. with good profession. lost his
luck in the river, where he idled away
lis time fishing, when he should have
been in his office. Another, with IL
good trade, perpetuaIly burnt up his
luck by his hot temper, which prevok-
ed his employers to leave him. An
other, with lucrative business, lost
his luck by amazing diligence at every
thing but his business. Another, who
steadily followed his trade, as steadily
followed his bottle. Another, who
was honest and constant at his work,
erred by perpetual misjudgments; he
lacked discretion. Hundreds lose their
luck by endorsing; by sangnlne specn-
latlons; by trusting fraudulent men;
and by dishonest gains. A man never
has good luck who has bad wife. ]
never knew an early rising, hard-work,
ing, prudent man, careful of his earn
-ings, and strictly honest, who complain
ed of bad luck. A good character,
good habits, and iron industry are I'M
pregnable to the assaults of all the i'll
luck that fools ever dreamed of. But
when see a tatterdemalion, creeping
out of a grocery late IN the afternoon,
with his hands stuck in his pockets, the
rim of his hat turned up, and the crown
knocked in, ] know he has had bad luck;
for the worst of all luck is to be a slug
gard, a knave, or tipp|er."

By private advices from w Washington. last even
ing. we learn that Mr. French the present Clerk
of the House OF Representatives asserts he has
received letters from three Wing Members OF the
next Congress, promising him their votes. We
will not believe it. No Wing will vote for the
reelection of a man TO an Office which has been used
to the detrment of the Wing party and if any one
protesting TO be a Wing votes for him. he will de-
serve and may encounter the Indignation Of his
constituency.
We have no cause OF personal complaint against
Mr. French nor do We intend to say he has been
an inefficient oficer-though TO admit he is better
qualified for the office than either OF the Wings we
have heard mentioned would be gross libel upon
such individual.
One objection to Mr. French We acknowledge,
is political He has used the used the influence Of
his Office against the party he now courts and hopes
to propitia,e. Every Wing subordinate, or every
one suspected of being Wing, he removed with
out conjunction and filed the places SO vacated
with individuals whose sole claim pretension to
Office consisted in their being noisy reckless unscru-
pulous psrtisans. He has been himself an intern
perate politician he obtained the position he holds
through the merit OF poHtleA service ana mas uls-
charged the obligations due his his party therefor
by every means within his reach He rose by po-
litica favor and by political opposition he should
fall Every Wing who votes for Mr. French votes
for asteady, earnest and uncompromising opponent
and votes, in our opinion, against the implied will
Of his constituents and against the certain interests
Of his party.
We know that serious endeavor, have been
made to throw abroad the conviction that his cleo
ton is certain in the hope TO catch any doubtful
indifferent vote; for there are always some persons
in a crowd OF people who like success better even
than consistency. This weak invention OF the
enemy must not deceive our friends. There IS no
around for any such belief Mr.. French will not
as we are assured on good authority receive the
full vote Of his party. " The balance of power par
ty," as it was called by political friend last Win
ter goes az ainst him and has its own candidate in
the held.
