GENTLEMEN: Your correspondent " Heights, !"
having been detected and exposed in his mis-
statements, to use the mildest term, comes out
in your paper of the 18th with another, which
is equally untrue with those l have already
pointed out.
" Heights" asks the question, els he (Citi-
zen) not one of those very individuals who
receive their pay from the Government in
gold and silver, and then sell it for corpora
tion or Virginia money ?" So far as regards
the writer of this selling gold and silUer, it is
false, in all and every particular.
The public may now be able to Judge what
confidence is to be placed in the statements of
Heights" His imagination has led him into
another misstatcment The story he relates of
the wag meeting man on the canal, at night,
without shat or boots" inquiring about the
storm, must have been on Herring H,l," and
not on the canal and the individual was seen
flying before the storm raised by some outraged
citizen. Do you take, Mr.. Heights?

THE "TURN-UPSp OF LIFE.

THE "TURN-UPS" OF LIFE.
We see each day disposition, on the part Of
the whole human family, to trust more to their
"turn-ups" than to the well-known effect of q
given cause. Our first turn-up is at rather an
early period of our existence, must confess,
and we live on in the daily expectation of a
more satisfactory " turn-up" than our last; and
SO we go on till our last /" turn-up," when death
turns doDn the page of life. a...
The " turn-ups" of this life vary as much as
our taysps; tho sarietyis great, and we have
many bad to an extremely small number Of
good AS children, we have many I" turn-ups'
at the maternal hands; they, for the most part,
are very disagreeabe: no child ever remembers
with qualification such " turn-ups." AS boys,
" turn-ups" against wall in imitation of cir
Gus actors are the most prominent, DISPOSE
ton to reverse the order of nature being in
herent in the Juveniles of the genus homo.
Later in life, when we rarely experience per-
sonally corporeal 9 turn-ups," we are not ex-
empt from the possibility of +" "turn-up" on a
sleety day. Have you never stood at corner,
secure in the firmness of your friend the lamp
post, and, holding your sides, enjoyed good
hearty laugh at some of your most worthy and
sedate fellow-citizens turning sup" against
their incliAations, and "down'' against the
bricks? Perhaps some dandy, strapped and
buckled so tightly he cannot bend his knees,
goes flying and sprawling like spread
eagle in all the impetuous velocity of his
most unexpected "turn-up." Or what is
worse, perhaps some gentle Miss, whose
smile you covet, "turns-up," as it were,
at moments notice, and goes plump ker-
smack upon the "down"-y pavement. OF
course you wish to save her, but your own
"turn-ups" rush through your brain like a
drove of young pigs into turnip field, and you
relinquish your desire to be gallant to the ne
cessity of the laws of " "turn-ups."
Dangerous things are these "turn-ups.'
Many a time and off, have they destroyed
the pleasure of the hour by their untimely oc.
currence. Much more harm than good they do
and it is far better to look to probable GER
tainty, (Which is certainly very uncertain kind
of certainty,) than to trust to turn-up."
But, "turn-ups" or turnips-that we may be
always satisfied with the quality of our turn
ups or ipS, is
the
sincere
wish
of
