presumed that the receipts for the three remaining

possible, have causcd the estimates for the next

II need scarcely be stated that a large proportion
OF the increased expenditures OF the Government
in tmes Of profound pence are consequent upon the
ACQUISITION Of our new Territories. The estimates
for those Territories, in addition TO the otherwise
ordinary wants of the Government are deemed
essential 60 their we'll being, and are submitted

Hoo to make a Fortune-Take earnestly
hold of life, as capacitated for, and destined to,
a high and noble purpose. Study closely the
minds bent for labor or profession. Adopt it
early, and pursue it steadily. never looking
back to the turning furrow, but forward to the
new ground that ever remains to be broken
Means and ways are abundant to every mans
success, if will and action are rightly adapted
to them. Our rich men, and our great men have
carved their paths to fortune, and by this eter-
nal principle--a principle that cannot fail to re-
ward its votary, ifit be resolutely pursued. To
sigh or repine over the lack ofinheritance, is un-
manly. Every man should strive to be a creator
instead of an inheritor. He should beqaeath in
stead of borrow. The human race, in this re-
spect wants dignity and discipline. It prefers
to WELD the sword of ~valorous forefathers, to
forging its W weapons. This is mean and
ignoble spirit. Let every man be conscious of
the power in him and the providence over him,
and use his own good lance. Let him feel that
it is better to earn a crust than to inherit Golfers
of gold. This spirit of self nobility once learn
ed, and every man will discover within himself,
under God, the elements and capacities of
wealth. He will be rich, inestimably rich in
self resources, and can lift his face proudly to
meet the noblest among men.

MIR. Meagher has also declined similar invita-

Mirror remarks: "Mr. Meagher has decided
well. Worthy as he is of public honor, he

by refusing all formal parade--parade--of

A NarroU E~scape.-Bayard Taylor, in one
of his agreeable letters from the Nile, which
appear in the New York Tribune, gives the fol.
lowing account of an incident which came neal
putting an end to his travels:
"The men were about to pitch my tent near
some suspicious looking holes, but l had it
moved to a clear, open space not far distant. In
the morning as Achmet was about rolling I'D
my mattrass, he suddenly let it drop and rush
ed out OF the tent, exclaiming, oh master, come
out, come out. There is a great snake in YOUR
bed" looked, and true enough, there was an
ugly, spotted reptile coaed up in the straw
mating. The men heard the alarm. and my
servant Ali Immediately came running up with
a club. AS he was afraid to enter the tent, he
threw it to me, and with one blow | put the
snake beyond the power of doing harm. 1t
was not more than two feet long, but thick
and ciub-shaped, with a back covered with
green, brown and yellow scales, very hard and
bright. The Arabs, who by this time had come
to the rescue, said it was a most venomous
creature, its bite causing instant death. Allah
kereen" God is mercifulD | exclaimed, and
they all heartily responded, God be pvaised!'
They said that the occurrence denoted long life
to me. Although no birds were to be seen at
the time, not ten minutes had elapsed before
two large crows appeared and alighted near the
snake. They walked around it at Il distance,
occasionally exchanging glances, and turning
up their heads in shrewd manner, which plain
ly said, No you don't, old fellow. want to make
US believe you are dead, do you? They BAN
tered each other to take hold of it first, and at
last the boldest seized it suddenly by the tail,
jumped backward two or three feet and then let
it fall. He looked at the other, as much as to
say, IF he's not dead, It's a capital sham The
other made a similar essay, after which they al
t~ernately dragged and shook it, and consulted
some time before they agreed that it was ac:u-
ally dead. One of them, took it by the tail and

TJohn Van Buren,, who has given in his
adhesion to the Democratic nominees, is report
ed in the New York Herald as saying:
"He would say that he most unqualifedly
approved of that platform for this election. He
was prepared to stand with them on the adop-
ton of all the avs Of Congress, including
ever the Fugitive Slave Law. He was perfect
ly willing that everybody should obey that
law who would, and everybody sustain it who
could. For the present, at all events, these
laws were to stand and be unimpaired.'
This is frank, honest John, says the Bee. He
submits, for the election. He knows Pierce
his father knows him. They all understand
one another. They are all Northern men with
Southern feelings until the election is over!--
They have ali tasted of the fesh-pots, and
know the SAVIOR thereof.

Hatching Chickens.-Hatching time has not
quite arrived for the election eggs, yet the N.
Hampshire Democrats are already counting
their chickens. The Concord, N. H., State sman
gives the following description of the state of
affairs among the expectants of office in that
quarter:
"A crazier set of people were never abroad,
than some now to be found at the capital of
New Hampshire. Foreign Ambassadors, Heads
of Departments, Consuls. and Charges DAf-
fairs, to say nothing of heads of bureaus at
Washington, ard the endless array OF minor
officers, are plenty as 'leaves in Vallombrosa.' "
1t is the opinion of the Statesman that there
are at least fifty in Concord, who have not
slept a wink since Friday night, SO full have
their heads been of ambassadorships, and 9TH
er golden visions-all to be realized when
General Pierce has the good fortune to get in"
