Increase in nine years, from
1886 to 1845, $13,985,972 90
Here wa have in the space Of nine years OF
Locoioco financial rule, an increase Of the State
debt of $l3,8a5,972 80!
But this is not all. Mr. Brough says in his
report Of State liabilities, December, 1842, Doc.
IS. that the Public Works were indebted TO the
sinking fund in a sum over it0O millions of dol.
lars; and il appeaIs by report made to the Se-
nate in February, l845, by the Finance Com.
mittee, Of which David T. Disney and Mr.. Kel.
ley were members, that the interest fund was
deficit in the sum Of 81 ,550,49 83. (See Se-
nate Journal Of lo44-5, appendix, page 9l.)-
The correctness Of this report has never been
questioned. Here, then, we have an increase
Of the Stale deb, Of nearly fourteen millions,
the squandering Of two millions of the sinking
fund, and deficit in the interest fund of more
than one million and half. which had been ad-
ded to the principal Of the State debt.
This is chapter of Locofoco financering to
which we call tho especial attention Of the peo.
pie of the State.
But il may be said that these gentlemen ex.
pended these enormous sums in the most eco.
nomical manner upon the Public Works Of the
State. To expose the fallacy Of this defence
we presen, the following table, compiled from
The reports Of the Canal Fund Commissioners
and tho Board Of Public Works. made by the
Legislature during the session of l844-5, Doc
20, page 5, and Doc. 95, page 7:

The Soldiers Return.

A few days since we happened to be in
neighboring town, where we saw several gentle
men in military dresses. We also observed a
great many person in tattered garments, and hav-
ing generaly very filthy peronal appearance,
walking along the streets. The next day, sew
eral of these persons were seen laying in the
streets with their faces exposed to the burning
sun, in state of the most beastly intoxication.
These we learned belonged to regiment of
American soldiers which had just returned from
Mexico This same regiment we had seen, it
seems to us, but a few days before, on its way
to the seat ofwar. Then the banners were gaily
huttering in the breeze, the stirring sounds OF
the drum and fife, thrilled every bosom, orators
were setting forth the charms Of glory.
"And all went merry as marriage bell"
What change had come over all this Every
thing now wore a mournful and distressed ap,
pearance. No triumphant banner waved over
the soldiers heads no martial fire cleaned from
their eyes; none of the glow of health was seen
on their squalid features; the drum and five had
lost their inspiring tones, and seemed to utter
only sounds of Hoe.-Louis0iHc (Ky.) E1amj-

MISCELLANY.
ThankfulneSS.

Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born TO
labor? Dispose myself to patience rather than
to comfort and to the bearing of the cross rath-
er than to rejoicing. What worldly person would
not Willingly receive spiritual joy and consolation
if he could always obtain it For spiritual com.
forts exceed all the delights of the world, and
pleasures of the flesh All worldly delights are
either vain or impure, but spiritual delights are
pleasant and honest, sprung from virtue, and IN
fused by God into pure minds: but no man can
always enjoy these divine comforts according to
his desire for the time oftemptation is not long
deferred.
Mistaken freedom of mind, and high conceit
of ourselves are very contrary to heavenly visit
atoms God doth we'll in giving the grace Of
consolation, but men doth evil in not returning
all again unto God with thanksgiving: and there
fore the gifts of grace cannot flow unto us, be-
cause we are not thankful to the gver, and re-
turn them not wholly to the original Fountain
For grace ever attendeth him that is thankful;
and from the proud shall be taken that which is
wont to be given to the humble
Set thyself always in the lowest place, and the
highest shall be given thee; for the highest con-
sist not without the lowest. The cheiest saints
before God are the least in their own judgements;
and how much the more glorious they are, SO
much the humber are they WltIlln themselves
They that are full of truth and heavenly glory,
are not DESTROYS Of vain-glory; and being firmly
settl ed and grounded in God they can in no way
become elated with pride And they that ascrlbe
unto God, what good soever they have received,
do not seek glory one of another, but desire on
" that glory which is from God; and above all
things they wish that God may be praised in
himself, and in all the saints; and this is always
what they aim at
Be therefore thankful for the least gift so
shalt thou be meet to receive greater lfthou
consider the worth Of the giver, no gift will seem
little or Of to mean value. For it is not little
that is given by the most high God. He that
desires to retain the grace of God, let him be
thankful for the grace given, and patient when
it is taken away. Let him pray that it may re-
turn: let him be crcumspect and humble, lest
he lose it-THomas a. KempiS

The Christian Home,

the hours Of day are numbered the low breath.
ings of prayer from the family altar proclaim that
the hearts of these apparently lonely ones have
found companion in heaven. Indeed, the place
itself became Bethel, for the word of the Lord
is often proclaimed here, and faithful souls as

but few charms for such holy women. lndf
ferent to any of its pleasures, long since have
they bid them final farewell and now find
comfort and support in the secresy of devotion.
Peace is the companion OF their retirement, and
piety throws her serenest rays over the evening
of their happy existence.
One of my visits to this devoted family was
made on the afternoon of a Christmas day; and
its object was to present copy of the New Tes-
lament and Psalms, bound in one volume. The
"Oid Family Bible" has lost both its covers,
and looked as if it had been long consulted and
diligently read. Without the prospect was

and the neighboring woods lonely and eaAess

TRIAL AND CONVICTION OF A VIRGIL
Connecticut, the following remarkable events
occurred in 1853. In March of that year
one Julius Perry went out with his dogs to
hunt. In the depths of the forest he dis
covered as he alledged) an old and gray fox,
and his dog gave chase. Alter chasing this
lox for upwards of two miles. the animal
was holed. When Mr.. Perry came up, he
heard strange noise over the other side OF
the hole, and going to the spot he there
found Juiana Cox lying and painting for
breath. Her left shoulder was bleeding. and
had on it the marks Of the dogs teeth
This was just the spot on the gray fox's
shoulder, where the dogs had seized hold.
Upon this testimony, Mrs. Cox, maiden
lady aged for,y-four years, was brought 10
trial for the capital offence of being witch.
On her ARA gnmenl, she pleaded not gull
ty, and it was determined that committee
of the seleclmen should examine her person
for witch-marks, in order to introduce con-
frmalory proofs against her. She was
therefore remanded to prison. The follow
ing persons were appointed on the commit
ttee. Eben Brewer, Alexas Jones and Sam
uel Cutworlh. These men proceeded a,
once 10 the prison and on stripping Mrs
Cox, they began their examination. For a
time, exceeding an hour, they could find no
marks, and Mrs. Cox submitted to their ex-
animation with tears and sobs. Finally
when they had pricked many places on her
body, without success, she confessed to two
marks as follows, one little below her
right hip, and one on her left arm. The
committee now became satisfied that these
were true marks, as the flesh was thereon
discoIored in slight degree. They there.
