Queer, but True.

On last Monday morning, at early dawn, as
Mrs. BOnaparte Fisher, Ofthis township, opened
the door of their dwelling, she observed sitting
upon the doorstep, what she supposed to be a
large straw basket, with sundry rags and old
clothes in it, and her curiosity being aroused
she lifted one Of the cloths or rags, from the
basket, and to her astonished vision, there Law,
peering out at her, two nesO born babes, "alive
and kicken" To whom they belong, OF
where they came FROM mo person seems to know
But old Dame Rumour, is rampant, going to
and fro, seeking whom she may devour.
There have been as many ladies to see them
as any forty babies Of the same age, born in
the township in the last five years. But la.
dies, oh, yes---how many Of you have given the
little "cast aways" new dress, or some other
article Of clothing? And ifyou have not done
so, it is not too late yet.

Duff's Mercantile College.

we have been present at number of the
Lectures in the Merchants College in this
city. AS lecturer upon commercial sciences,
the veteran Principal is the most powerful and
impressive of the day. We have never heard
person throw such an interest around this
snbjecL, who by close and vigorous reasonings
SO successfully stamps the impress of his mind
upon his hearers. As far as we have had time
to examine them, we think more skilful Sc
lection and arrangement of exercises to impart
to students the actual practice of book keeping
in the great theatres of inland and foreign COM
merce, has never before been devised. His
system Of: bookkeeping is got up in the usual
style of the publishers, Harpers, of New York,
and is sanctioned by committees of the Amer
ican Institute and Chamber of Commerce of
New York city, as the most perfect COM
bination of commercial science and practice in
the English language. 1t is unnecessary to say,
that the writer of such book has always at
hand rich stores Of information to elucidate it.
For instance, relating the case of a manufacturer
who failed in business after many years trans
actions, selling his productions at sixty per
cent advance on the cost, and allowing the re-
tailers forty per cent. discount, under the i'm
preston that he had twenty per cent clearproft
for himself, when he was actually losing four
per cent: Indeed, the whole of his lectures
are interspersed with similar cases, cited from
his long experience in the business world, fire.
quently affOrdng an impressive commentary
on the extreme imprudence Of engaging in Com
mercial pursuits without first studying the SCI
ence of it. In choosing school for this last
and highest branch of commercial education,
we would say emphatiGally, go to the best. Go
to preceptor of practical experience. Never
expect reliable instruction from any other source.

Portrait of a Hard Case.

Now you, that was cut out for a man, but
was so villainously spoiled in maxim up, I'll
attend 10 your case.For what end did you burst
open the worlds door and rush in uncaed,
like man chased by mad bull? What good
do you expect TO bestow upon your fellow
men? Some great discovery, or even one sol
itary remark No! Those that look for any
good from you, will be Just as badly fooled as
the man who caught skunk and thought it
was kitten, or the woman who made greens
out of gunpowder tea. You know where the
neatest and tightest pants can be got 'on tic"
but you dont't know where the useful lecture
will be delivered. You know the color of a
vest, but never studied the gorgeous hues of
the ainbow, unless it was to Wish for piece
to make a cravat Of; you know how fool
feels in full dress, but you don't know how a
man feels when he eats the bread earned by
the sweat of his brow; you know how monkey
looks, for you see one every day in your land
lady's looking-glass; but you don't know how
man feels after doing good action; you 90
where that sight is not to be seen. Oh! yon
wasp wasted catfsh-mouthed, baboon-should-
cred, clipper-legged. goose-eyed,, and sheep
faced, be-whiskered drone in the worlds bee
hive! what are you good for? Nothing but to
cheat your tailor, to lisp by note line from
some milk and cider poetaster, sentimentaly
talk love, eat oysters,a and act the fool most sha-
mefuly. l say, does your mother know your
out? | am afraid you have no mother, nor
never had.
You are of no more use in this world than
time piece in a beaver dam, or a mattress in
ahog pen. You fill no larger space in the
worlds eye than toe-nail of mosquito would
in market house or a stump-tailed Cog would
in all out of doors; you are as little thought Of
as the fellow who knocked his grand mothers
last tooth down her throat; and as for brains
ten thousand such can be preserved in drop
of brandy, and have as much sea room as a
tadpoie in Lake Superior.
As for your ideas, you have but one, (nnd
that is stamped on your leaden skull an inch
deep that tailors and females are to be gull
ed by you, and you think decen, people envy
your appearance. Poor, useless tobacco
worm. You are decidedly hard case.-

Gads(Ien Treaty,

The Gadsden Treaty with Mexico, has al
last failed. After long and unavailing strug-
gle for life, it kicked the bucket, and pow lies
dead under the table of the Senate of the U.
$. So Un;le Sam has lodged heavy drain
in the Treasury, and Santa Anna must lock
elsewhere for the Millions requisite to recruit
and equip his Army.
By virtue Of the mOny amendments to the
original treaty, it had but little semblanCe to
its original SELF yet so Objectionable was it that
Uncle Sam had doubts about The propriety of
voting money into. Santa Annals pocket, to
enable him to continue an.emperOr of the old Re.
public, so he asked to be excused at present.
We presume the present treaty with Mexico,
will answer the purpose.

The Nebraska Bill.

This may with truth be sptly styled the age
Of reuOlstionS. Changes and convulsions mark
the lapse of time and the kingdoms of the old
world are shaken from the centre to circumfer-
ence, The monarch, who to-day sits in fanci.
ed security upon his throne, receiving the adul-
ations of his minions, may tomorrow be driven
an exile from his native land. And while in
the old world the forces of freedom will doubt
less soon be marshalled to contend in mortal
strife, with the powers of despotism, so in our
own Republic fearful conflict is begun, and
the world with intense anxiety, awaits the issue
of the combat. If ever, in the history of our
country, a time might come, demanding the in
tervention of every christian and patriotic Citi-
zen, in behalf of the principles of justice and
right, that era has now arrived. A great and
impious sin, is, we have reason to fear, about
to be perpetrated by majority of the rulers ol
our land-A deed of infamy, alike in contra
vention of the laws of God, and every princi-
pie of right as established by the laws Of men
And as we love and cherish the noble declara
tion of our forefathers, that call men are crea'

Mr.. Cross Of Hamilton spoke against the bill
and addressed has remarks specially TO the
clause prohibiting the right to deduct debts
owing from credits. He spoke with much feel

and business Of the State.
Mr.. Gest again spoke with decided ability in
support of the bin. He again ayowed his op-
position to some of its features, but he should
support it, because it was an improvement

more obnoxious. There vas provision which
made il the duty Of the assessor to value the

was not equal.
The House refused to adopt the amend

DR.. Ross opposed the bill because there was
a section that made all property taxed, liable to
be sold for the payment Of the tax, He thought
this wrong. We exempt hundreds Of dollars
from execution ir probate judgments. Why
not place The exemption on the same footing as
in cases Of private claims.
