rs PLAYING THE DEAD MAN GAME ON A Quaker
LADY. "a Quaker lady of Philadelphia, who
had frequently given money to a little girl who
said her father was sick and not expected to
live, was recently called on by the child, who
wore countenance more wan and sorrow
stricken than before, to tell her, benefactress
that her father was dead; all the money she
had received had been expended for coffin
and shroud, and she had nothing left to defray
the further expenses of her fathers funeral.
The generous lady gave her $40, and went
among her friends and collected $S more for
her, and then went with her to. her wretched
abode, where she found the family awringing
their haads and suttering loud lamentations
over the body Of q man which lay in coffin
placed on two chairs in the centre Of the room.
The lady, who was unused to such scenes Of
woe, and was greatly affected by what she
saw, hurriedly drew forth her purse, gave a
portion Of its contents to the little girl, with q
promise of future assistance, and hastily left
the room, When she reached the foot of the
crazy stairs which she had assembled to the
squalid apartment above, she discovered that
she had discovered that she had forgotten her
purse. She went up again Immediately, and
as noiselessly as possible, that she might not
disturb the sacred grief of the sorrow-stricken
family What was her surprise and horror on
entering the room to perceive the corpse sit.
ting upright in its shroud, eagerly counting
The gold which she had left behind her. n

DAGUERREoTyPE OF 1.-THE FEDERAL

We have nothing TO regret but the brawls and
acts Of violence which have Of late furnished the
reputation Of the Federal City by the gangs Of
rowdies who nightly iniest our streets. They
have, step by step, grown holder and more defiant
until they now trampie the laws under foot with
out the slightest apprehension. Continued immu.
nifty from punishment always invites the repe,i-
ton Of offences. The insubordinate spirits in this
csty have become more reckless, and their viola
tons Of order and the public peace more garing.-

ANOTHER PORTRAIT OF A MODEL RE-
PUBLIC, UNDER DEMOCRATIC RULE.

"The city Of Washington was on Saturday night
the scene Of riot, bloodshed, and pillage. Hun
dreds of armed rufians held possession of the
streets, and firearms were heard in various quar-
tiers. 1t is difficult to learn the particular deeds
of the night, or the persons by whom they were
enacted; for the rufians operate in clans, and
those clans are protected and fosteted in their
organized capacity by the Corporation itself

Tho Progress ef Life.

Men rejoice when the sun has risen they
rejoice also when the sun goes down; while
they are unconscious Of the decay of their
own lives. Men.rejoice on seeing the face
OF a new season, ,as The arrival of one greatly
desired. Nevertheless the revolution of one
season is the decay of man. Fragments Of
drift wood meeting in the wide ocean con.
tinue together little space; thus parents,
wives, children and friends remain with us
short time, then separate-the separation
is inevitable. No mortal can escape the
common lot; he who mourns for departed
relatives, has no power to cause them to re-
turn. One standing on the road would read
lily say to a number of persons passing by,
"I will follow you;" why then, should per-
Sons grieve when ioumeying on the same
road that has been travelled by our forefa-
theirs. Life resembles cataract running
down with irresistible impetuosity. Know
ing that the end of life is death, every right
minded man ought TO pursue that which
is connected with happiness and ultimate
bliss.

Boyhood plies the whip of pleasure;
Youthful folly gives stroke;
Manhood goads them at his leisure

To the wind let care be sent;
Time, 2.40-"whip in socket"
"Give 'em striog and let 'em went.n
On the sunny road to fifty,

There lay but single shadow
On the green-sward at our feet.

Hung bare the heavens on high;

Ever sang this tune BEFORE"
Then while the fine compression

a Were looking into my soul.
And he softly said, "This music
