ABLE TO OWE TIE GOVERNMENT.

ABLE TO OWE TIE G0vERNNEET.- T.- Notwithstanding N the "dignity" which surrounds the supreme legislative body of the land, some ludicrous scenes occur within the Hall. Not long ago, very enthusiastic and elo- quent gentleman from Arkansas got up to address the House on the flli- clustering question, and as the discus sion was roaming extremely wide, he soon found himself talking about pub lie land in his own State. On this theme he waxcd warm, and in the midst Qf burst of enthusiasm, and Q fervcnt appeal in favor of D donation of land to Arkansas, wicked mem Der asked him if that State had not once borrowed money from the Genor- al Government?
 "yes, sir, D replied tho oxcitc- -1 ] member "my State did get the money from the General Government, She not only got t sir, butsho keptit; and let me tell you, Mr. Chairman, that our people down in Arkansas are an honorable people, and although they never intend to pay that money, yet they will not repudiate, but will al- ways acknowledge the corn,' and confess they do owe Uncle Sam and are able to owe him."
 Of course this acknowledgement brought down the House.

"TIE DRINKS. ."-How ofninous that sentence falls, How VIC pause in conversation and cjamlate-'It is a pity" How his mother hopes he will not when he grows older and his sisters persuade them that 1t is only few wild oats he is sowing And yet the old men shake then heads and feel gloomy when they think about it. Young men, just commencing life, buoyant with hope, don't drink. You are freighted with precious cargo.- The hopes of your old parents, of your wives, of your children-all are laid down upon you. In you the aged live over again their young days; through you only caa that weary one you love obtain positionin society; and from the level or which you place them, must your children go into the great struggle of Life.--EIchange paper.
 Would to heaven that paragraphs like the above might bo found in every newspaper from Maine to Texas, and that, being read by young men, the shot might strike home, and secure Ia permanent reformation. Singular as it may appear, very few men who drink to excess can be found, who do not denounce the habit in the strong est terms-not the slightest benefits derived from it, yet each succeeding year beholds many new made grave which, but for habits of intoxication would yet be tenantless. Ask any gray -hairedresident of Natchez to give you the names of his youthful asso- ciates-go with him to the cemetery and let him point to tue last sad rest ing place of the chivaric, brave, hon. orable, kind-hearted youth who now ill drunkard's grave. The infor- nation he can give you, will chill the the heart like an ice bolt, and then, It capable of appreciating the lesson, be warned in time.-.Natchee CoUr- leg.

COINCIDENCE. There appears ito have been strong similarity between the manner in which Santa Anna was captured after the battle of San Ja- cinto, and that nwhich Yeh, the Gov ernor of Canton, was taken during or after the late bombardment of that city by the British. Santa Anna climbed a low tree, and non-com- missioned officer or common soldier, standing six feetin his shoes, seized him by the coat tail, pulled him off his perch, and maao 4im Ii iObbio aio1 1@ ;;., to the American camp. Yeh, it ap- pears, was climbing over high wall as nimbly as fat Chinaman could be expected to, when his "tail'' was sciz- cd by a sturdy Brisish sailor, who haul ed him backwards and took possession of him. Great careers do sometimes terminate rather ingloriously.

BEAUTIrUL.-Yho following lines are from the pen of George ?. Prem tice:
 "Why is it that the rainbow and the cloud come over us with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass away, and leave us to muse on faded loyeH- ness? Why is it that the stars that hold their nightly festival around the midnight throne, are placed above the reach of cur limited faculties, for ever mocking us with thoirunapproach- able glory!
