MRs. PARTINGroN ON MORAL TENDEN-
cr.-"Where is your little boy tending"
asked the good man, as he was inquiring
of Mrs. Pa.tington with regerd TO the pro-
clivities of Ike, who had hard name in
the neighborhood- meat the direction
for good or ill that the boy was taking.
"Well," said the old lady, "he isn't tend
ing anywhere yet. l thought some of
putting him into wholesale store, but some
says the 'ringtail' is the most benefcious,
though he isn't old enough yet to go into a
store"
II meant morally tending" said her vis-
itor solemnly, Strengthening himself up like
an AK handle.
ayes" said she, little conflsedly, as
though she didn't fully understand, but
didn't wish to insult him by saying she
didn't, "yes, l should hope he'd tend NOR
ally, though there's a great difference in
shopkeepers, and the moral tenderness in
some seems good deal less than in Others,
and in others a good deal more. A shop
keeper is one that you should put conf
dence into, but Pve always noticed some
times that the smilingest of them is the
most dcceivingest. One told me the other
day that a calico would wash like piece
of white, and it did just like it, for all the
color washed out of it."
ss"Good bye, ma'an," said her visitor, and
staIked out with long string attached to
his heelby piece ofgum that had some
how got upon the floor beneath his feet

COP MADE THE HEART.

God made the heart with every chord
Responsive to his love;
To cheer, to bless, to keep his word
Like angels hearts above.
Twas made to feel for others woe,
Life's sorrows to beguile;
. soo'he the tears the wretched know,
And bid the mourncr smile.
WAS va. made to be the charm ofeartb.
Where all affections meet:
Where every human bliss hath birth,
And every hope is sweet. !.
Twas formed the weak and sad to aid.
To bid misfortune fee;
Ifman ne'er narred what God had made
How heavenly earth would be?

THE STOLEN HAM.

There is truth, Scripture truth
To all my readers known:
Worse than an infdcl is he,
- Who cares not for his own. &
A preacher with this truth in view
Laid by his winters store;
With other good things, nice and rare,
Where hdnls-some three or four.
One day, ncighbor, who had fixed
Upon the hams, his eve,
Thought, as he lived in trying times,
That one of them he'd try
He took it home, but peace of mind
Did from his home depart;
He felt rs if the stolen ham
Was hanging on his heart
He could not bear his load OF guilt,
And, to correct the wrong,
He sought at once the pastors house.
And took the ham along.
The preacher busy with his book,
Heard some one at the door,
Who entered, while his mind was fixed
Upon the sons of Noah.
He'd read of Japheth, Shcm, and Ham;
81 On them his thoughts were centcrcd,
But ham alone was IN the mind
Ofhim who there entered.
Who said, "Dear sir, ham 1 stole,
And much / do repent it: -
have it with me, here it is.
To you / do present it,
The preacher said, "I.cannot take
The stolen ham from you,
But let me proffer kind advice,
And tell you what to do.
"By deep repentance you are moved,
Let that your heart control,
Go to its owner, and to him
Return the ham you stele." 57
Il hare done that, replied the man,
"Just as you have advised ne,
But he refused to take the ham,
Which very much surprised me-
"Well." said the pastor, "having done
The best that you could do,
As he refused TO take the ham,
1t now belongs to you.
"Go. take it home, and nc er again
Be guilty of a theft.'
He took the ham, and the advice,
And with them both he left.
And never did the man regret
The steps which be had taken,
For thus he saved his peace of miud,
And also "saped lbs bacon"

A Real Native.

The ignorance of this country among
otherwise well informed English folks was
curiously illustrated in the case of General
W, ia good fellow, but bogus gener-
al,) who visited England few years ago.
Having occasion to pass few days in a
provincial town, which boasted its literary
coterie, he received an invitation through
an acquaintance, from Miss Blue Stocking
to attend a soiree. The general, of course,
went, and being a fine handsome, agreea-
bic fellow he was quite lion. In the
course of the evening, Miss Blue, who had
managed to secure his undivided attention,
tapped him playfully with her fan, and
said :-"Do you know that you are n
naughty man?" "How so MADAME" ask
ed the general. aWhy for deceiving us all
so; but l shan't tell on you, of course
only every one in the room has not seen
as much as l." The general became ner-
vous, and thought of course that he must
have committed some terrible .taur pas; !.
but as the lady seemed kind and forgiving
he determined TO probe the matter. "My
dear lady, l am very sorry if l have been
guilty of any deliction; do tell me, that l
may apologize" @Oh." said Miss Blue,
'.ifs only pretending to be an Apeerican ''
"Psetending TO be an American. But l
am an American, madam" "Yes; PER
haps you live there; but you are not a ma
tive, you know" "OD my honor, madam,
a real live native of the great State of New
York" "That will do for the company to
think, general" said the literary lady, "and
of course will not undeceiye them; but
you must know had very distinguished
American gentleman, who ,oas native, to
lunch with me this morning, and l was SO
sorry I could not have him to meet you
tonight; but he was not at all like you.
HIS raven hair curled IN such beautiful
little ringlets all around has head, and his
head, and his complexion aras dark-very
dark-a perfect OtAello a .tellow." "1
migger! 6y George" thought the gener-
al; and begging our lady not to expose
his little ruse, in trying to pass off for an
American, lie got into corner and enjoy
ed his laugh.

WHAT ARE THE FRAUD COMMITTEE DoSG -
The Fraud Committee Of the Common Council
seem to have abandoned their labors in despair
What If the reason Of this Are they satisfied
that they have done all that was required of
them when they ELECTED the fact that the tax
payers have been nicely pluckcd in almost every
department Of the city government or have
they concluded, from the experience they have
had. that the thing was all farce?-or did they
intend from the beginning that no good should
come out Of their work! Surely il is not for
want Of frauds enough TO investigate, nor of
witnesses to examine, who are just as willing to
communicate important information as those
who have been already before them land we all
know how r3uch that was) that the Committee
have abandoned their very useful occupation.
The last time the Aldermens Committee met
plenty Of witnesses were present, but only one
of the Committee. II il over a month now
since the Committee of the Board of Council
mon made any progress in the investigation of
the Chcmung Smith fraud in the Comptroller's
Office.
Through the wonderful activity of Mr.. Flagg
several fresh cases Of fraud have been brought
TO the notice OF the Council lie dribbles out
bis astounding discoveries bit by bit periodical
ly while Mr.. Conover occasionally pours in
his Developments by wholesale-always
taking care that his rival Dcvlin, figures in them
like the principal character in 4 play. People
arc getting tired Of being told how dextcrously
their pockets have been picked. Now they want
the criminals to be exposed, and if possible
brought 10 justice.
lfMr. Flagg knew anything Of his business he
could put bis finger on the perpetrators of all
the frauds in his Office. He has had cue enough,
if he were only competent for the duties which
have been entrusted TO him. But the fact is he
is superannuatcd old fogy. whose position at
the head Of the finance department is little less
than public nuisance. Why has he not sense
enough to resign at once, and give place to
some competent o1icialy

TmE PROJECTED ASTI-SorTHNEN MEETING N
TIE MErEoPoLIS.-For the past two or three
weeks the leaders of the opposition here have
been endeavoring to get up grand demonstra-
,icn against the admission of Kansas under the
Lecompton constitution, but all their efforts
have miserably failed.
II seems that they cannot get up in this city
a meeting to oppose Lecompton. They go to
the merchants, bankers and others, but can get
no names. The merchants say, admit Kansas
any way, with any constitution, or none at all,
and then let them settle il among themselves.
We desire that Congress shall pass upon this
matter at once, and then take up important
matters, such as the Bankrupt law, which is
much needed. So We will not join in any move
inent calculated to delay the speedy settlement
Of the question, one way or the other.
This is probably the real common sense rea
son why the republicans, Americans and bogus
democrats have not been able to get up meet
ing against the course Of the administration on
the Kansas question.

PATENT EXTENSIONS BEFORE CoNGREss-There
are now two bills before Congress for the ex-
tension Of valuable patents; or, in Congressional
phraseology, 'for the relief Of the patentees."
One is the extension of Colonel Colts patent,
and the other that of Edwin NJ. Chafte's patent
for an improvement in the manufacture OF India
rubber. Col. Colt has not yet succeeded in get
ting report on his bill; but Mr. Eddie (repub-
licsn) Of Pennsylvania has reported bill to the
twice and referred to a committee of the whole
House, accompanied by report in favor of the
bill. II is strange that the Washington CORES
pondents have not informed the public of this
Chsffee affair.
