A SINGULAR INCIDENTAL late number of the New
York Sun contained the following advertisement:
''If the cabman who brought a gentleman to the
Astor House, at about ii O'Clock this morning, (on-
day. will call at the office and leave word with either
of the clerks at what street and number he found the
gentleman, he will be most literally rewarded"
This mysterious notice set everybody wondering and
guessing. After few days the mystery solved
by the New York correspondent of a Boston paper ::
and the facts, he represents them, make out
such has rarely occurred in New York or else
where. 1t appears by the statement that gentleman
arrived in New York from Syracuse with Sl5, 900,
for the purpose of making purchases Having selected
his goods and got his drafts cashed he started off with
three fine fellows (drummerS) upon a spree. After
getting pretty well excited at the stimulating game
of tenpins, nothing more-they explored the unknown
regious of Church and Leonard Streets kept up the
game for two three days-until at last country
merchant found himself, by some mysterious agency,
leaning over area railing in Walker street, and
there all consciousness left him. together with some
Sl2, 900 in cash and $500 worth of jewelry, at 3
o'clock in the morning. The first returning dawn of
reason bit him hard at about 10 o'clock on Monday
morning, when he awoke in bed and, glancing at his
under and only covering, discovered its material to be
coarse cotton, instead of fine linen which, operating
(like brandy-smasher) eye opener, he raised
himself, sane, and espied very fair young girl IRON

upon chairs before the fire. Z" Will you have the
kindness to tell me, Miss. how the deuce l came

gentleman dressed himself in haste, ana slipping

into cab she had ordered at his request, and was
soon set down at the Astor House. nor was it until

A CAPITAL JOKE.-Our readers will recollect that
after the Senatorial election in Louisiana, DR.. JONES'
of Jefferson electrified the House Of Representatives
by a communication that DR.. Myles, fellow men,
Der, had told him that he had been offered four ne
groes not to vote for Senator. Myles absent on
that occasiOn;-anda committee was raised to inquire
into the facts. 1t turned that while there was
nothing to excupae Myles, the prosecutor Dr. jones'
lad himself gone to Mr. Sdell, who was understood
to be the democratic nominee and stated that he
no great shakes Of whig himself.-that his parish
was democratc.-his health poor, and would be
benefited by trip to Cuba, has expenses could be
paid. Mr.. Slidell commsserated his condition, but
made no offer either of negroes. to send him to
Cuba,-and so the Doctor remained to vote, and then
charge others with taking what he had So much deslr-
ed,--an excuse for absence.-Pitsburgh Post.

0FREvENGE.-Bansh all malignant and revenge
full thoughts. A spirit of revenge is spirit of the
devil; than which nothing makes n more like
him, and nothing can be more opposite to the temper
which Christianity was designed to promote If your
revenge be not satisfied it will torment you now if it
be. it will give you greater hereafter. None is n
greater selftormentor than malicious and revenge
full man, who turns the poison of his temper in
upon himself. The Christian precept this case, is
"Let not the sun go down upoE your wrath" and
this precept Plutarch tells US, the Pyhegoreans prac-
ticed in literal sense "Who, if at any time in
passion, hey broke into opprobrious language,
before the INSET gave another their hands, and
with them discharge from all injuries; and SO with
mutual Cancellation, parted friends. Moore.
