MARX WELL.-Newspapers are infalli-
bic indications Of mans moral honesty
They soon discover the man. II he is
dishonest he will cheat the printer in some
way-say lie has paid when he has not
declare he had receipt somewhere or
sent the money and it was lost in the
mail, or he will take the paper for years
without paying, and then move of, and
it coming to the Office he left. Thousands
Of professed christians are dishonest in
this respect. ::and the printers book will
tell fearful tales in the final judgment.
This may not be spoken from the pull
pit, but it's "as true as preaching"

WHEN WE HUSKED THE CORN.
October scorching, fires the trees, -.t
And naked lies the shivering vine;
While dimly DER the distant seas
The faded lights Of summer shine.
Along the lawn the negro blows
Deep summons on his MONDAY horn,
And homeward troop the girls and beau,
o From Husking ofthe corn.
Imind me well that autumn day,
When, five and twenty years ago,
We turned our labor into play, 7.,
30 oAndhusked the corn for neighbor Lowe
Ahl wife, we were the blithest pair
That e'er to welded love were born,
For I was gay and you were fair,
AIM A husking of the corn. ts
Oh how We sung and how we laughed
Our hearts sat lightly on our lips,
AS we the golden cider quafed,
And passed the bowl with rusty quips.
And when sly hints of love went round,
You glanced at me with pouting scorn
Yet smiled, tho ou fain would frown,
a husking of the corn.
Then when found the scarlet ear,
And claimed the old traditioned kiss,
You bade me not approach too near.
And pleaded that, and pleaded this.
Away you fled, and I pursued,
Till all too faint you were to warn,
And-know you not how well wooed
A husking Of the corn.

A SwINDLINa COFFEE CoMPANY-AN-
OTHER SEIZURE OF LETTERS by THE MAY
OR The Mayors police have recently
detected an extensive swindling opera
ton conducted by some one whose name
is yet undiscovered, under the false style
and firm of Oliphant, Bartlett & Co. The
method Of this swindle has been to send
circulars to country merchants inviting
them to become agents for the ''West In
dia Company" for the sale Of coffee, hold
ing out the most Aattering hopes Of ma
king large profits, and requiring remit
tances In advance for the first consign.
ments Of coffee. It is said that since the
FIRST Of these circulars were sent, the
amount received has been for the past
week or two about $1,000 per day, and
that the swindler has probably received
in all about 10000. He had an Office at
2o8 Broadway, where one clerk (named
Phillips) was employed. This clerk,
when arrested at the post Office. had in
his possession about go letters that be
had just taken from the letter box, many
Of them being registered letters, and all
doubtless containing money. These were
handed over to the Mayor, who has them
now in charge. The principal had not
been arrested yesterday.-Nl T. Com.

ORAroRY.-fn looking over some old
papers day or two since, we stumbled
over speech delivered by Henry Clay
before the students Of the New York State
and National Law School. Speaking ol
the art Of extemporaneous speaking, he
said -.-...l...... .... ..-.-.. a..
II owe my success in life to the single
fact, viz /: that at the age Of twenty. seven,
l commenced and continued for years the
process of daily reading and speaking up
Oh the contents Of some historical and SCI
enti6c book. These off hand efforts were
made sometimes in a cornfeld at others
in the forest, and not unfrequently in some
distant barn with the horse and OK for
my auditors. It is to this early practice
Of the art Of all arts that I am indebted
for the primary and leading impulses that
stimulated me forward, and have shaped
my entire subsequent destiny. Improve.
then, young gentlemen, the superior ad-
vantages you here enjoy. Let not a day
pass without exercising your power Of
speech. There is no power like that Of
oratory. Caesar controlled men BY ex-
citing their fears-Ciscero, By captivating
their affections and swaying their pas
sions. The influence Of the one perished
with its author; that Of the other contin.
ues to this day." ...3.9

Soul HousEs.-There are apartments
in the soul which have glorious look
out; from whose windows you can see
across tho river Of death, and into the
shining city hey ond ; but how often are
these neglected for the lower ones, which
have: earth ward looking windows. There
is the apartment Of Veneration. Its cell
ings are frescoed with angels, and all ex-
quisite carvings adorn its walls F; but spi-
ders have covered the angel ceiling, and
dust has settled on the delicate mouldings.
The man does not abide there. The door
Of Conscience is rusted SO it cannot be
opened. Hope has but one downward
looking window, and Faith and Worship
are cold and cherries. All these are
shut up in most soul houses. In lower
apartments you shall hear, in some riot
and wassail,--for the passions never keep
Lent, but are always holding Carnival
and in others sighs and lamentations Of
wounded hopes, and in others the groan-
ings Of disappointed ambition, and in
others chickering's and strifes, while in 9th
ers there are sleep and stupidity.-Beecher.
