once raiifes ihe truth. and assigns the
reason by describing the dissolute as fast
men, that is they live fast; they spead
their twelve hours in six, getting through
the whole before the meridian, and drop
ping out Of sight and into darkness while
others are in the glow and glory of life.
Their sun goes down while it is ye, day.
And they might have helped it. Many
one dies long before he need. Your men
OF genius. like Burns and Byron, 10 whom,
when dissipated and prof1igate, thirty
seven is so fatal; and your obscure and
nameless wandering STAR who waste
their youth in Ebertine indulgence they
cannot live long. They must die early
They put on the steam till they blow up
the boiler. They run at such rate tha,
the FIRE goes out for want of fuel. The
machinery is destroyed by reckless speed
and rapid wear. Nothing can save them
Their physical system cannot stand The
strain they put it to; while the state o.
their minds is often such that the soul
would rot the substance of the most ro.
bust body, and make for itself way o.
escape from the incessant hell of its own
thoughts.-Reu. T. Binney.

The Last Theft.

The most impudent and expert achieve
ment in the art of stealing, that we have
lately heard Of, Was related TO US a few
DAYS since, as follows:
At laborer's boarding house, where
it is customary, in warm weather. for the
men to leave their coats in the entry while
at meals, q thief took it into his head TO
make an incursion one day while all
hands were busy at dinner. Accordingly
he reconnoitered the passage way. saw a
good variety of coats and jackets. some
new, some half worn, &C., all OF which
he gathered into his arms, and carelessly
commenced making his exit. Just as he
was about to cross the Threshold, the
man of the house, who was late to dim
ner, arrived at the door.
'What are you doing with these coats?'
cried the landlord.
I'm taking them to my shop, sir
'And what tor?'
The gentlemen want to get 'em scour-
ed, SIR replied the thief.
20, then, if that's all, said the landlord
4 believe my coat wants securing, and
you may take il along too.
So saying, he doffed his garment. hand
ed it over to the thief, and proceeded to
his dinner.
The surprise Of the boarders, when
they went to don their habilimefits. and
the confusion of the landlord in giving
his statement will be imsRined,

"She viii soon follow, fear, and then

He turned to wipe away manly. honest
tears, and we--well, no matter. We went
and sa: down at our desk, took up sheet,
and wrote those three words that were
ringing in our brain aud burning in our
heart-"She is gone''-and then--well,
we did not write what followed-we only
held the pen, while we were only conscious
Of one thing-had but one ,hought-all
else was absorbed in these words: "She is
