These are days in which the Scripture IL fulfilled
days in which hard men reap where they had not
sowD, and gather where they did not strew. 10
times like this, to him that hath is given abundantly,
while from him that hath not is taken away even
that which he hath. The active, industrious, en-
terprising and energetic portion of the community
find themselves just now very much in the con-
diton of sheep sheared to keep other people warm,
or of bees who, after laboring all Summer to fill
their hive with honey, just as the Winter is coming
find themselves smoked out, and their stores so
labOriously accumulated, appropriated for other
peoples use. Our system of doing business on
credit, with all its cOnveniences and attractions,
has, as so many of our business men are now Bit
terly experiencing, its very serious drawbacks too.
First or last after ALL capital will come in for the
lions share. Extra interest is making sad havoc
with gains that were thought to be secure, while
stocks WHICH had been relied upon not merely as q
permanent Investment but as a resource that could
be turned into cash at any time, must now be
parted with to raise money to meet notes falling
DUE at great depreciation from their actual cost
and their real value. The sums thus squeezed out
of our active business men accumulate, for the
most part, in the hands of few bankers, who,
having avoided any risks, and kept clear Of any
debts are now prepared to buy up notes and stocks
at astonshingy low prices, transferring into their
own pockets, often by single transaction, that
which it has cost those who are obliged to sell,
under these untoward circumstances, years Of toll
and care to accumulate. 1t seems to be agreed
that capitalists have not had such chance for in
vestment for great many years past; 90 that in
this, as in other matters, the old proverb holds,
that sit is an i'll wind that blows nobody any good"

From the Washington Union
The Next House of

The Impression erFoneously prevails 10 some ex-
Ten, that the democracy have already chosen suth
cent number OF members to insure a ma ory in the
next House Of Representatives That such result
is most desirable and that is the duty C our friends
to sustain the President of their choice by working
majority in Congress cannot be denied. The Senate
is with u.s. and the House will be- if in the elections
ye 10 be held, all minor considerations thrown
ASIDE and the true interests of the country kept
steadily in view. The election of Mr.. Buchanan was
an uAequvoca triumph of truth over error of reason
over fanatlclsm, and gave assurance of stability and
permanency 10 the Union 1t was not, some idly
asserted, " truce" e respite' but solid, SUBJ

who achieved it g take no step backw ard" The vic
tory however, Will not be complete. unless the dem
ocratc party finish the work SO nobly begun, and
send majority of good and true men to the House
OF Representatives That this may be done, We have
no doubt. Energy and determination, with harmo
ny OF action, will put success beyond peradventure
1t is certainly of the first Importance that this great
good should be accomplished, for upon it in some
measure depend the usefulness and success Of dem
ocratlc administration. With an opposition ma jori
ty in the House of Representatives, tie policy of the
administration will be baked and hampered; and
well disposed as such majority may be, ii has the
power nevertheless, to check mate, to cripple, and
defeat. The responsibility of the government is then
upon US, without the power to discharge the trust
with hdehy and eXactness. Give the democratic par
ty, the other hand full control in Congress, and
all they have promised, and all the country expects
will be fulfilled, in WISE conservative, benefcent
public policy We shall tap then the full benefit of

GooD ONE.-Dr. Magoon, recently in a lecture
on " Mind your Business" tells the following good
one: a..-- ---
young man went from New York to the West,
where he commenced business on his own account,
and married. His friends in the CITY were interested
in his welfare, and when merchant was about to
journey to the place where the young man had loca.
ted he was requested to visit the emigrant and as
certain how he lived, whit sort of a wife he had
chosen, his prospects, SC. Accordingly the New
Yorker ascertaned the residence Of his young friend,
and called upon him quite early in the morning. He
found him in small neat cottage, and just taking
his breakfast. The introduction of the New Yorker
to his wife was quite off hand and unceremon onious,
and he was requested to De seated and partake of the
morning meal. The young wife had prepared the
steak, biscuit and coffee with her own hands, and for
a table had used her kneading board, over which a
napkin was spread and the board placed on her
lap. The New Yorker declined seat at the table,
and took his leave, On making his report to his
New York friends as to how he found his young
friend living, he described the style nagnifcen
and for explanation of the superlave he said, that
were ne the owner of that young mans furniture he
would not take len thousand dollars for the legs of
his table ... f.. = ;.
