FALSE FRIENDs.-In the ardor of Youth
full confidence, with habits uniformed and
principles swayed by the slightest b.eath Of
influence, the heart is easily taken cap
tive. The citadel of the affections is sur
rendered to foe who utters the password
friendship. Craving the interests of So
cial life-longing for some kindred spirit
with whom TO associate after the tolls of the
day, many an unhappy youth is led astray.
Attracted BY the social and apparently gen.
erous qualities of some companion, they be-
stow upon him their friendship and their
confidence. But ere they are aware of it,
ihsidious poison is infused into their moral
nature, and they discover themselves plum
dered Of their character, and with all their
aspirations bligbtsd. "The companion Of
fools shall be destroyed :" Instead Of shrink
ing back at the first impure word, they have
drawn closer to the centre Of the contami-
mating circle, and have only too lato found
cut their danger. .E

Guard Against Vulgar Language

There is as much connection between
the words and thoughts as there is between
the thoughts and the words; the latter are
not only the expressions Of the former, but
they have POWER to reach upon the soul,
and leave the stain Of their corruption
there. A young man who allows himself
to use one vulgar or profane word has not
only shown that thereis foul spot on his
mind, but by the utterance OF that word he
extends that spot and inhams' it, ill, by
indulsnce it will pollute and ruin the whole
soul. If you can Oontrsl the tongue, that
no improper words are pronounced by it,
YOU will soon be able also TO control the
mind, and save that from corruption. You
extingui.h the fire by 'm''hering it, or by
preventing bad thoughts bursting out in
language. Never utter word anywhere
wbish YOU would be ashamed to speak in
presencs Of the most refined females, or the
most religious man, Try this practice
little while and you will soon have CON-
nand Of yourself. .gf

FOur citizens will regret the necessity
that has compelled the Administration to re-
move our worthy and efficient Post Master
L. w. Clark. We read the official commu-
nication from the First Assistant P. M.
General, Horatio King, declaring that va
cancy would of necessity occur in The Post
Office at Lihneus, and requesting the pre-
sent incumbent to give notice 10 the people
thot they might recommend a successor;
somebody from the Nationals Of course. We
do not wonder, however, at this act Of the
Department. We have expected it and our
only astoni,hment is that friend Clark was
allowed TO WELD such IN engine Of power
and influence that necessarily belongs TO

Mr.. sTEvENseS's sPErcH.

LIFE WIrHour LovE.-We sometimes
meet with men who seem to think that any
indulgence in affectionate feeling is weak
ness. They will return from journey and
greet their families with a distant dignityi
and move among their children with the
cold and lofty splendor of an iceberg, sur
rounded by its broken fragments. There
is hardly more unnatural sight on earth
than one Of those families without heart.
A father had better ex,inguish boys eyes
than take away his heart, Who that has
experienced the j.ys Of friendship, and val
uss sympathy and affection, would not rath-
er lose all that's beautiful in natures soene-
ry than be robbed of the hidden treasures
of his heart? Cherish, then, your hearts
best affections. Indulge in the warm and
gushing emotions of filial, patsrnal and fra
ternal love.

The Fort Smelling Fraud.


This alleged fraud has caused a great
deal of comment throughout the news paper
press Of the country. The facts of the
case, as developed by the testimony taken
before the Congress committee, are briefly
as follows:
An act was smuggled through Congress.
near the close Of President Piercs's admin.
istration, authorizing the war department
to sell any old forts not required for mill.
tary purposes.
Under this vague clause Mr.. Secretary
Floyd sold 10 Richard Schell, broker ol
New York and state senator, Mrs. SchelI
his wife. to John C. Ma,her, also state SEN
ator and government warehouse man, to
Frank Steele, and TO one DR., Graham, Fort
Smelling, and eight or ten thousand acre, Of
of adjoining land, valued at $2O0,O and
upwards, for $4,000.
The sale was made privately, and with
out any public notice or intimation that the
property was in market.
So far from it not being needed for militia
ry purposes, the late secretary Of war, Mr..
Davis, had distinctly declined 10 entertain
proposals for lis purchase under the act,
because it was needed for such purposes;
while the present secretary has also recog-
nized the necessity fol using part Of i. for
the military services of the country.
twas sold in body, and not in sections,
after the usual government! surveys, as pro-
vided BY law.
BY the terms Of sale, the purchasers are
to have their deeds upon paying the first
instalmsnt, and without q mortgage, in di.
rect violation Of the law, which forbids a
patent being issued for any government
lands until the entire price Is paid.
These being the facts in the case, the
whole transaction of the sale exhibits a
shocking degree Of official corruption.

PRovIDENTIAL EscAPE.-As Mr.. Rufus N.
Merriam, foreman of }. A. Fay & Co., manufac-
tuners of wooden machinery in the Junction Shop,
was adjusting belt to a shaft, yesterday fore
noon, his clothes we're caught, and he was drawn
around the shaft upwards of fifty times, and eve
ry article of his clothing stripped from him.
Mr.. Merriam, fortunately, had the presence of
mind to keep his head near the shaft as posi-
BILE, or it would have hit the floor, and killed him
instantly. As it was, it is almost miraculous
that he escaped with only very severe bruises,
generally, and especially of his feet and legs and
bad fracture of the right leg, near the knee
joint. DR.. Woodward attended him, and Mr.
Merriam is now in fair way of recovery, which,
of course, will require time.
The engineer, Mr.. Hiram Tyler also exhibited
great presence of mind on the occasion. Being
at the time in the coal bin and hearing strange
noise in the story above, he suddenly hurried to
the engine, and stopped it Immediately. Had
not this been done, the accident could not have
resulted otherwise than fatal to Mr.. Merriam.

Eighty million of dollars have been appro
priated at TIE present session of Congress.
Where is the money coming from The rev.
enue of the whole year promises little more
than half this great sum- The present tariff
was adjusted to an exceptional state of COM
meroe, and is altogether inadequate to the
supply of the treasury. But while, the reve-
nue. has gone down and no means of increas-
ing it have been adopted, except by loans, the
appropriations are kept up to their full limit,
and Congress adjourns, leaving the financial
balence to be settled at the next session or by
the next Congress. This is not the way in
which prudent men manage their own affairs.
