BAD PREsENTs.-From the Boston pa
pers, April 10th, we learn that the Massa-
chusetts Senate, that day, adopted rcso-
luton, with only one dissenting vote, that
"no foreigner or catholic is eligible to Of
flee in that State?" Well; that is perfect
ly right for Except in Russia, } there is not
an American employed in any of the for
eign governments. We declare frankly
that we arc truly friends of good foreign
ers but then we cannot be friends of those
who come here to murder Native Ameri-
cans. We would like to offer suggestion,
forthe publication ofvice and crime brought
to our country from abroad. Let every
Legislature of each State pass a law of
honor, of necessity, of public safety sane
toned by the Federal Executive, for the
purpose, that in fnture, every person com
ing to this country, without exception of
the Holy Father or of old Noah, must be
furnished with an American passport OBJ
taincd from any American Consul or Amcri-
can agent residing in the country where
they come'from with this measurcof public
safety we may then be able to put stop
to the criminals taken from the jails Of Eu-
rope and sent by shcirrespective governments
to this country as a present to the Know
Nuthings. - Whcc ling Young America.

a Fable.

"My dear children" said an old rat to
his young ones, "the inlirmities of age are
pressing 50 heavily upon me, that I have
determined to dedicate the remainder of
my days to modification and penance in
narrow and lonely hole which l have late
ly discovered but let me not interfere with
your enjoyments. Youth is the season for
Pleasurej bchappy, therefore, and only obey
my last injWction: never come near me
in my retreat God bless you all."-Deep-
y affected, shivelliug endibly, and wiping
his paternal eyes with his tail, the old rat
withdrew, and was seen no more for sever
al days, when his youngest daughter, NOV
ing rather with filial affection than by the
curiosity which has been attributed to the
sex, stole to his cell of modification, which
turned out to be a hole, made by his
own teeth, in an enormous Chashirc
J cheese.

The last Hours Of Nicholas.
The Tribune relates the following.

The Tribune relates the following:
at seems that the deceased Emperor
took a severe cold, reviewing some new
regiments. His physician did not, at first,
deem the case grave; ssbut soon a violent
grippe manifested itself, followed instantly
byan inflammation of the lungs. The dis
ease was first discovered to be really dan
gerous on the. .6st..of this month; and the
Emperor, aware Of its charatcr, told his
dOcter that he felt his time was come. His
wife and son Alexander we're constantly
with him. .Whcn one of his physicians,
DR.. Mandt, told him that there would
probably, by a..paralyzedY He demanded,
in Russian, of his other physician: when
shall be sufocatedT This occurred early
on the Morning of the I'd inst. He then
went through religious duties-taking the
sacrament-aud bade his wife, children
and grandchildren farewell; giving toeach
OF them the benediction, with clear voice,
and with and quiet consciousness In the
evening he took farewell ofall therrpersOns
belonging to his Court.-The Empress, his
son, (now Emperor) the Grand Duke
Constantine, the Counts Adlerburgh, OrlOff,
the Prince Dolgorouski, and a few Others,
remained around him to the last moment.
He died on the second Of March, at ten
minutes past noon."

Twenty Years Karried and Just Begun
to Live.

A woman in Connecticut, whose hus-
band has been reclaimed from drunkenness,
through the instrumentality of the Maine
law, said to aphysician, short time since,
81 have been married twenty years, but it
seems as ifmy husband and had just be-
gan to live together. Talk about hard times
| never had such easy times. Tea, sugar,
-four in abundance, two pigs in the barrel,
and twenty five dollars due my husband
when he has finished a job ofwork. For
merly, when he had butchercd his pork,
he could do nothing but drink and carouse
the remainder of the day. This year, he
got up his team and brought home load
of wood" Is it strange that, that woman
believed in the virtue of the Maine Law

lowing capital illustrations They have
a steamboat in the western waters by the
name Of "the Editor" This is the very
best name ever yet given to steamboat,
and more especially to Mississippi steam
boat. We arc surprised it has never been
thought of before. The editor is work

night. Now he sails against the tide,
now with it, going alongat a dashing rate,
until suddenly he comesup standing against
some hidden snag, which nearly shivers
his timbers to pieces. When ever he
moves he puts the water in agitation for Q

w Why Should any Man Swear.

standing would almost as soon steal a sheep

2. 1t is vulgar, altogether too low fora

8. 1t is..cowardly, implying fear of not
being believed or obeyed.
4. tits ungentlemanly. A gentleman

more swear than 60 into the streets hall

pea.A stocking knitting machine is
among the latest novelties in New York.
1t was patented in 1851, but, with the ex-
ception of few in Connecticut, has not
been practically tested. The Mirror says:
A girl ten years old can knit half a
dozen pair of stockings in day, working
the machine by hand or foot. In a facto-
ry with motive power, one person can
manage a dozen machines. The stocking
is made by the machine, from top to toe,
and nimble fingers Of industrious elderly
maiden, sitting by the hearth corner, could
"widen" or ''narow" or 'heel' or "toe'
more perfectly. The invention is in the
hands of a stock company, who are about
to apply it in large factory in this city.
and who offers for sale rights to use tho
machines. A. T. Stewart holds $4,000
of the stock, and there are other heavy
stockholders in the city.

"lfno uncovered event interposes between

turn out a surplus which will gladden. the
hearts ofthc breadless in our Eastern cit
