0INr A few days ago we heard a singular &C., count of western merchant It seems he had beer but few years in business, and upon taking an account of stock found that his profits had been, as his ledger showed, some $6O0OO; in other words, that his indebt- endless was S2000O and his assets S80OOO Wishing to repienish, and elated by his great success, he went to New York, represented his great skill, and on the strength of it. bought some S70OOO worth of goods on credit and re- turned home. A few weeks after he was back again in New York. proposing to compromise for forty cents on the dollar. How is ths?" said his astonished creditor; /" short time ago you were worth $6O.OO0" Why" said he, "the fact is, my book keeper nude c mistake. was oaoing $So000, and had only S20,0oO as- sets" The phelinks" of those creditors can better be imagined than described.

THE CRISIS AND THE PRINTERs.-We are warranted in stating that in New York city alone, 3900 people, who are dependent upon printing for support and sustenance, will this season be unoccupied. Boston and the Cam bridges have, we are told, at least 1000 idle printers, the large offices having but little to do Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington add at least 600 idle printers to the list; while Chi cago and St. Louis, have respectively, a large number in want of work, owing to the decrease in newspaper business, and lack of job work We will set down St Louis and Chicago as hav- ing POO printers in want of employment. Gin cinnati, Pittsburg and Louisville, will furnish at least 300 more. From this, then, it is safe to conclude that in these cities at least 5000 printers will be without employment during the present winter.
 5000 helpless printers, the majority of them without means or friends. What an appalling spectacle! Want of suffering stare our breth- ren in the face.

It is needless to urge in this enlightened lay the great necessity of mental culture. All classes of men perfectly under stand its importance.

FIFE CONSTITUTION OF OREGoN.-The vote in Oregon on the State constitution against slavery has rather disappointed expectation. In six counties the vote was, for slavery 252, against 1924 In Monroe county not included in the above count there is 800 majority against slavery. The vote for excluding free colored persons from the territory is just as large. The policy of the territory seems to be to keep our all inferior races from free S;ate. Oregon will doubtless be admitted into the Union under this constitution.
