ship from New York on Tuesday, and passen-
gers continued to bring their baggage and pay
their fare even on Tuesday morning; and yet
all were doomed to disappointment 1t did not
sail. 1t is only just to say that the press was
as grossly deceived as the public. An opportu-
nifty to sell the vessel appears to have been the
reason Of this shameful proceeding or so the
Sum- from which we gather these facts, appears
to conjecture.

RHETORICAL FLoURIsHEs.--A correspondent
Of the Literary World cites, as an example of
an identity Of oppression, the address of lawyer,
who spoke somewhat to this effect " Here
comes the plaintiff into court like motionless
statue, with the cloak Of hypocrisy IN has mouth,
and trying to screw three large oak trees out Of
my clients pocket"
This is not a better specimen than that Of
the Irish barrister who, few years ago, svinced
his sagacity by ferreting out the designs Of his
adversary, and exclaimed: "My Lord, smell
rat-I hear it brewing will nip it in the
bud I"

You, happy fellow, edit an afternoon paper,
and are not compelled, like us, to pass the
small hours Of the morning catering for the
brcakfast-tabes of your readers. The after
noon editor is a king, and We morning editors
nothing but drudges."
The editor Of the Philadelphia Sun thus dis
courses with Foster Of the New York Day
Book He states truth that every one should
comprehend. In this city of Washington there
are men who work from fourteen to eighteen
hours day, and, at certain seasons, twenty
editors, proof-readers, and printers-many of
whom never accumulate dollar Men conform
strangely to some of the most unreasonable and
irrational usages Of the world-strangely, to
be sure, when it is in their power to amend
their condition. A stipulation by printers for
fifty per cent. higher pay for all labor done
after a certain hour in the night would abridge
such labors, and at the same time afford in
creased compensation, by means of which a few
more hours could be very conveniently devoted
to rest A movement of this kind, made after
proper notice, would meet with no perceptible
resistance. All its disagreeable effects would
be but as ripple in deep water. But the effort
should be simultaneously made throughout all
the cities.
Editors too would profit by custom brought
about by means they could not resist. We have
heretofore advised the abridgement of Sabbath
work by like means.

The PLANK RoAD.--The editor of the Rock
vile Journal desires to have plank road on
which the good people of Montgomery county
may drive to market and does not appear to
have any decided preferences as to whom they
may deal with, SO the thing is done. He says:
"The citizens of Washington are determined
to have the Montgomery trade, and they are
right. They intend making plank road for
that purpose Now, we feel some interest in
this matter, and have labored hard to convince
our Georgetown friends that they could not
much longer have the benefit Of the Montgomery
trade, if plank road was not made to bring it
to their market. Georgetown, Frederick, and
Montgomery counties, with any thing like libe-
ralty the part of its most interested citizens,
could do the work in very short time and we
hope no more time will be lost in talking. One
thing is now certain, that if the road be not
made, and that speedily, Georgetown will find
the whole trade of this county, and Of the west
ern counties, tending to another market"

o PsHAw MARY Shaw, being lately absn-

suicide with laudanum. That is a bad, drowsy,
bitter instrument Of death, that laudanum; and
Mary, poor thing behaved very foolishly. De-
serted women should always commit suicide by
pining away. We know one who took that
course under like circumstances to those Of
Mary, and who is certainly dying very happily.
To be sure, it is chronic mode, but what of
thats she win be as dead as anybody when IL lie
all over, and people will not be 50 shocked by
the manner Of it. She was a little, thin, de-
jected looking woman, when her husband left
her and her scantiy furnished house and two
little children one morning. With a shamed
face and sad heart, she went up stairs to cry,
and wished she was dead, and only deferred the
qualification of her wish because she knew death
would Of itself soon come to her. and 90 she
pinned on until she unconsciously became useful,
and happy, and beloved, and found her daughters
with as good prospects and as well disposed for
matrimonial alliances as though their mama had
never been deserted nor committed suicide.
Time is not 80 bad an old fellow as some de-
scribe him We hope long to linger with him,
