a Dialogue.


.sIsaac, have you paid the priptera'' in
quired an cid lady of her husband who was de-
lighting the family circle by reading fine
looking newspaper-(excuse our blushcs, for
we editors are as modest as maidens.)
Ono, Rebecca, have not,'' answered the
old gentleman, adjusting his spectacles-ssbut
you know it is onlya tEife. The printer gives
! n polite dun, but they cannot mean me as am
one OF their friends, and at all events nly dol
lar would be a trifing moiety to thonl.'' 'a
''Well, Isaac, if all their subscribers were
to. say the same thing, the poor fellows would
staFye, unless they could conjure their types
into corn, and their press into a -four mill
And surely, you as their friend, should be
more punctual in paying them, besides it
would show your attachment to them and the
good cause they advocate -
- thought Of settling my subscription when
was in town last said Isaac wincipg from
the rub, :'but the money which received for
my produce was better than usual. and dis
ike TO part with it, -.-<..
Certainly you would not pay. them in bad
money!
'sNo my dear, but sometimes am obliged
to take uncurrent paper, and I prefer paying
my debts with that when can't get it off. O,
these banks, these banks, Any way, that sort
would suit the printer just as well, as they
don't keep it long. Ny ueighbor Jenkins said
he passed OF some on them that no body else
would take, aud they did not refuse It's -saf
esShame on you, Isaac,' exclaimed the good
Old lady-''you would not, hope, initiate the
example of that miserable fellow, Jenkins?-
why he would jew the parson ont of half his
stipend and pay tie balance in trade
'sYet he paid the printer, granna,'' inter
rupted a little faxen miss, who stood beside
her grandfatheTes knees. @ z1'-
S'EeiI; I'm call and pay them, said the old
gentleman, nettIedLfor an article | read in
their paper the other day, was worth twice the
amount of the subscription. .
''And you know grandpa, You said that the
piece about cOunterfeiters saved you twelve
dollars which You would have taken from the
pedlar, 2 again interrupted the little girl, Z
eyes; it did so, Mary, and for that when L
60 to town, III pay OF. my old score, and the
next year in advance in the bargain.''
= Mr.. Isaac-kept his word like an honest
man. And whether because his conscience
smote him about the uncurrent money, or be-
cause he was convinced of the excellence of
the arguments of his amiabe spouse and rosy
checked grand child, we can not say; be that
as It may we assure our readers that our pocF-
ct rang with that tangible proof offriend Isaac,s
probity and patronage, until we paid our debts.
Nov we feel if the good ladies in the town and
country, and throughout all creation, as that
most veritabla nondescript, Major jack Down.
ing, would say. only, knew how the heart and
hand Of the poor printer gladdened and warr,-s

Isaac, they would read this paragraph to their
husbands, and say in the language of the good.

CARSON IFACUr

The friends OF the Carson League held spublc meet
ing on Thursday at Continental Hail. corner Of Eighth
sy and Thirty -fourth-sts., which was well attended
Mr. MARSHALL acted as Chairman. Mayor Hall OF
Brooklyn was expected to be present and address the
meeting bet did not come probably account OF the
unfavorable state OF the weather.
Mr. BLAcKMrR was introduced, and spoke N refer
ce TO bis abors in the Temperance cause for me past
twenty five years, of what good mad been accom-
rlished ard the future prospects.
The Rev SIDNEY A. COREY was next introduced
lie reviewed the progress the friends OF Temperance
had made in this cause from its infancy up to the pres
ept tine. The Prohibitory Law was to 90 into effect
on the Fourth Of July next. Some men with whom he
had conversed argued that prohibitory liquor Law
could not be carried out in the City Of New York
because il would ruin business and decrease rents
II was just and proper that the sale of liquor should be
prohibited as well arsenic any other poison, or at
least with the restrictions. Liquor dealers, and
especially importers, deny that liquors are poison,
but il had been shown beyond doubt that
all liquors contain more or less poison. The
Probibitory Law can be enforced. 1t has been
thoroughly tested in Maine, Massachusetts Rhode
Island and other States and had been sustained; 1t Is
prcdicated upon eternal law and must succeed The
enforcement of the odious Fugitive Slave law, which
was repugnanf has shown tha the people of the North
are a aw-ebiding people.
MR. n. HAvEHs was next introduced, and confined
