Some wears ago, when the Legislature OF one OF

obstinate Many days had been spent IN merry de-

Just at this moment. a country member who ma

the amended Constitution, went TO him and endea-
yorcd to make a convert of him.
"You must vote for the Constitution, by all
MEANS" said he.
s.IlI think of it, s1id the country member.
but YOU must mike up your nnd at once, man,

THE WORLD OWES ME- A LIVING.
BT HORACE GREELEY.

The word owes me living, and III haze il,
says some black leg, as ne finishes luxurious re-
past; 'here, landlord, another bottle Of prime Ma
deira ~
Half dozen enptv-headed fOps WHO sit gazing
on him by stealth in silent admiration, hail the sen
timent with raP'urous applause: "That's it, the
world owes US living, and we'll have it Land
lord, more wine here we won't 90 home till morn
ing. Let's 90 1t while we're young. Who cares
for expenses %
The consequence Of this is, the piiferng of mon
.ey drawers, the i.nominicus loss of employment
eenteel lOaferism, &c, Sc, until one enterprising
gentleman, in eager pursuit of the living the world
owes him, puts the wrong mans name to his check,
or in way gets ticket for the marble palace
at Sing Sing, where the State provides ''livng'
for those 1t considers deserving. but not such one
cOmports with their estimate OF their exaltS
ed merits.
The greatest error is in tn, original maxim it is
false and detestable The world owes you lv-
ing! How owes? Have you earned it by good
service? II you have, whether on the anvil or as
teacher, you have required just livelihood
But If you have earned nothing, or STILL done
little no good, the world owes you nothing
You may be worth millions and able to enjoy every
luxury without care or effort, but if you have done
nothing to increase the sum of human comforts in
stead of the world owing you anything, as fools
have babb.ed, you are morally bankrupt and beg
ger.
Mankind are just awakening to a sense Of duty
resting on every man 10 be active in every day and
every sphere. A are not called to dig, or hew, or
plow, or plane-but every man has sphere Of use
fulness allotted to him by Providence.
One may be fitted by nature and inclined for an
artizan, another for sailor, but no one ever born
is fit for an idler or drone. Those who become
are the victims of Perverse circumstances and de-
plorabe education.
But has not the rich man a right to enjoy his
wealth? Most certainly. We would be the last
to de Irive him of it. lie has natural right to
possess il and enjoy it in any manner not injurious
to others but ne has no moral right to be useless
because he has superior means of being useful
Let him possess in abundance the means of satisfy
ing every pure and just desire of bis nature and
become WISER nObler, larger IN soul than his less
fortunate neighbors. But lot him never forget, and
if he is properly trained he can, that it is a
solemn duty to be useful to his fellow creatures,
pecillly 10 the distressed and suffering.
The servile dolatry with which ignorance and
vuganty look to power and wealth, the bosannahs
which the trampled millions have sung before the
cars of the cunquerers and scourges of the earth,
are fading and fitting forever. In the twilight
which succeeds this gross darkness, there comes
season of moral anarchy, when men having lose
their faith in the juggIes which once blinded and
bound them, resolve TO believe nOthing-tO decry
and PROSTATE all that rises above lis lowest level

arrived in this city on Saturday last from

ceeding to California. They were taken by a
person named Henry Drake, alias Pincher, to
the Office Of VIM. Wilson, No. 109 West street,
and there induced by the representations of
Wilson, or his agent, to purchase tickets for
himself and family consisting of grown per-
sons and children, for which Wilson or his
agent charged and received So, 249, being $500
more than the actual price Of the tickets pur
chased by them, in any other Office. They i'm
mediately on discovering the over-charge, in
formed Wilson or his agent of it. and asked for
the money, OF part of it, to be refunded them.
This was denied. Whereupon they appeared
at the Mayors office on Thursday, and related
their case to Judge Osborn, who directed an
officer to accompany them to Wilson's Office for
the purpose Of endeavoring to recover the
money. Wilson, however, refused to make any
amends, on the ground that his action had been
perfectly legal, and that it was fair business
transaction.
Finding that they had nothing to hope for
from Wilson, Mr.. Anderson and family this
morning again appeared at the Mayors Office,
and made oath to all the facts of the case
whereupon the Mayor gave orders that unless
Wilson Immediately refunded the amount over
charged, saving his commission Of five per
cent. on the actual cost of the tickets to revoke
his license Mr. Wilson was accordingly sent
for, md on reading over the affdavits, and
being informed of the Mayors determination.
finally consented to refund the amount claimed
as ordered by the Mayor, rather than have his
