RATHER RICH.

A correspondent of Brother Jonathan, dating
New Orleans. Dec. Sd, 1856, gives tic following
good story
Going up to St. Louis last month, noticed
as soon as the Loaf had got fairly started, a
green=louking customer, who was Scrutlnizng
the bell, rs if he had never seen one before. He
soon attracted the attention OF the Captain and
a great many Of the passengers.
s:Kecp still and look ut that Yankee" said
the Captain; ave shall have fine sport present
w." and at the same time walking up to him,
he added We'll, sir, what do you thing ol
the bell ?''
"It is very pooty one -how much did it
cost?"
"Three hundred and fifty dollars"
"Why, du tell That would buy farm up
in our country. How do you 50 to work to
ring the critter?"
';Why, by pulling the rope, to be sure"
:'Does it ring very hard, Captcn 2"
:: Not very; wouldn't YOU like to try it g
II don't know but | would low much
would you ask to let feler ring it a little
while 2"
"Ten dollars"
"Human mater you ought to let 4 frller ring
it as long as lie plcascs at that price"
The Captain thought to have some tinc sport
out of him, and told him he could do so. The
Yankee pulled ont ten dollar piece, and call
ing on some OF the passengers to witness 1t, that
there might bc no backing out on either side,
commenced ringing the bell. 1t was fine irn
for them all at first, but they very soon grew
tired and annoyed with the noise, for Jonathan
kept at it as if it were the last work he ever in
tended to do The Captain as wei, as the rest
began to get very much annoyed, for more than
once he lad been asked to have it stopped. So
he went up to him and asked how much longer
he intended to ring that d-lish bell?
ats a fair bargain, Captain: that should
ring it as long as pleased: and can proore it
too"
'Wel if YOU will only stop. you can have
your money back again"
"No, sir-:cc, f" was the reply.
"Wcll, how much will YOU ;lsk to stop it z"
"Well, seein' it. you, Cappcn, | don't know
but if you will give me fifty dollars and free
ticket to ST. Louis, will let you oii!!''
The Captain hcsitated a moment, and told
him to come into the office. After he had paid
him he asked, 8 How long did you intend to ring
that bell :"
swell. reckon intended to ringit till you
woull iry nc pooty well to stop it,:
But suppose would not have given you
anything to stop it, what then would you have
done 2

"I say yes, you are Don't ask that again
IF you can't tell me your name, shall go on
and leave you"
"AM-l-DowS u roared the topper.
"Well done" !" said the farmer, losing patience,
{" man that's so drunk he can't tell his name,
and don't know whether he's down or up, don't

" -4m-i-elopn," spluttered the man who had
fallen by the wayside.
';You'll find out whether you are down or
not, before help you-if You can't tell your
name;" and so saying, the Good Samaritan
mounted his wagon and drove on. Arrived at
the village, lie told his story, which created
great amusement and which Mr.. Amidown
never heard the last of, until he was down in
earnest, not on the roadside, hut in the paupcrs'
burying-ground to which hard drinking and
lying out Of nights had soon brought him.

"FlTnER ISDRUNK ALL Tile TIME"

Such was the expression Of little child who
came to our door a few days ago, begging for
bread and clothing. Father is drunk all the
time" Poor child what volume of misery
and woe arc expressed in those six words
Home, where comfort should have ali abiding
place, and where happiness should dwell as a
lniniStcring angel, is transformed into hell up
on earth by" Father being drunk all the tiinc." "
Starvation, RAGS and all the hidcous forms of
poverty gather round the house of that father
who lis drunk all the time" Mother broken
hearted, children growing up in ignorance and
disgrace, united to perform that part on the
stage OF life which the creator designed for
them, are tic result of g Father being drunk all
the timc.'
"Fathcr is drunk all the time" This little
one knew the fact, could appreciate the effect,
felt the pinching Of hunger, had experienced
the horrors Of the past, and with emotions OF
griel, which no pen can describe, looks at the
black gathering cloud which hangs over the
future from which no gleam of sunshine is vi,-
blc and from which lie has no reasonable antic-
patton OF better days.
Poor Child q beggar from door to door. a
dependent upon the cold charities of n hcartlcss
world, with words of truth and lranliIcss pro-
claiming the sad news Of his own dcslitution,
misery and disgrace, in order to get bread to
sustain life, and clothes to protect him from the
chilling winds of autumn and wintcr-anl re-
turning to his home, if indeed. a home it may
be callel-lis eyes meet the form of him win"
should be Il protector, supporter, and friend
but the vgor Of his manhood is gonc-his i'll
tclcct is impaired, his form l.: haggarl and de-
iccte,i, and the whole appearance Of the victim
again reminds the suffering Child that "Fati:cr
is drunk all the time."-.iHiancc Times.

The KING OF HANOVER AND THE M.S,s
a letter from Franklin says that the King of
hanover, on being lately received as q member
OF Masonic Lodge accepted the title of Pro-
tector and Grand Master Of all the Lodges of
his kingdom. But on the occasion modifca-
ton was made in the statutes of the order, to
the effect that ss the order is exclusively Chris
tlan, no person protesting the Jewish religion
can henceforth be admitted into Hanoverian
lodge.
This decision has excited great opposition in
most OF the lodges in Germany, and it is said
that the Great Orient will shortly make an en-
ergetc protest against it. 81 81

the power of Congress to make all needful rules
and regulations respecting the territory was
not, as the majority of the Court expressed,
limited to Territory belonging to the United
States at the time Of the adoption of the Con-
sttution, but has been applied to five subsequent
acquisitions of land that Congress has power
to exclude slavery from the Territories, having
established eight Territorial Governments with

of Washington to John Quincy Adams.
The opinion occupied five hours in delivery.

Dearest Charley, thou hast left U.s.
Yes, thy angel spirits fled,
And thy infant form doth slumber
Quiet with the mouldetng dead.

In those brighter realms Of glory
Where no sigh is heard-no tear is shed.
