"THAT's THE ALLEGoRY."-A miser be-
ing dead, and fairly inferred, came to the
banks of the river Styx, desiring to be fer
red over along with the other ghosts. -
Cha.on demanded his fare, and was surpris-
ed to see the miser rather than pay it, throw
hinselfinto the river and swim over to the
other side. Notwithstanding all the clamcr
and opposition that could be made to him.
All Tartarus was in an uDroar; and each
of the Judges was meditating some punish
ment suitable to crime of such danger
Gus consequences toithe Internal revenues.
"Shall he be chained to the rock along
with Prometheus! or tfemble below the
precipicc in company with the Danaides! or
assist Sisyphus to rolling his stone?"
"No," said Mino, "none of these; we
must invent some severer punishment. Let
him be sent back to the earth, to see the
use his heirs are making Of his riches"

CRIME AND ISTEMPERANcE.-Mr. j.. u.
Harwell, correspondent of the Louisville
Courier, writing from Nashville, Tennes-
see, gives the following Penitentiary facts
They speak trumped-tongued for the Maine
Law:
The Nashville penitentiary is tolerable
building, strong and secure. They manu-
facture a great many things very well with
IN its walls, and the conyiets have been of
great advantage to the State, particularly
inSthe eparaNon of stone for the Capitol.
There are two hundred and forty conyicts,
thirty EIGHT were temperate, before sem
tence, and.two hundred and twoutemper-
ate. One hundred and twenty seven were
drunk when they committed crime. Forty
three had fathers who were temperate; the
fathers Of one hundred and twenty-five
were incorporate; and seventy-two com
mon drunkards. The editor Of some tenn
pctance paperwould do well to get the sta
iistcs of every penitentiary in the Union
in this matter. What a commentary it
would be upon the license system!

into the aisle, Just in time 10 be thrown
against the roof Of the car by the cow.catch-

and knocked close TO the front door; altho'
stunned by striking bis head against the roof
when tossed up by the cow-ca,cher, the
sire in the rear" fromihe boiler head re-
stored him 10 consciousness, and he stepped
tolf the car without feeling any the worse
for his movements "upward and onward, -
