HUMOROUS MIsrAxEs.-The humos o.
the telegraph are very amusing. A year
or so since, the agents Of the Delaware
Hudson Freighting Line at Honesdaie,
Pennsylvania, sent the following dispatch
to the agent at New York:
sd. Horton :--Dear Sir,-PIcase send
me a shipping book forcightcen forty .nins.s
The dispatch as received, read % FOL-.
lows: =.
sd. Horton:--Please send me ship
ping box eighteen feet by nine."
The other might have been more disas.
trous in its results; the same parties were
concerned. Mr.. Horton wrote the proprie.
tor of the line here that be had been sub.
penaed on trial to be held in tho su.
premc Court Of New York, ana that a.
navigation was about to open, it would be
necessary to send man 10 perform his Of.
flee duties. The following reply was en-
trusted TO tho t,nder care Of the telegraph
wire:
"See the Judge at once and get excused.
1 cannot send man in your place."
The despatch. as received, read a. fa,.
lows:
"See the Judge at once and get "cxoca.
ted" ! can send man in your place."
Mr.. H. claims on the margin Of tho die.
patch stay Of execution.
Not long since gentleman telegrphed
to friend at Cleveland an interesting fam.
lily affair, as follows:
"Sarah and little one doing WE'LL"
The telegraph reached its destination
when it read thus:
''Sarah and litter all doing well"
The recipient tclegraphed back the FOL.
lowing startling query:
"Por heavens sake how many has she
gorf"
Another time, gentleman sent a dis.
patch 10 a business friend to call upon a
third party in relation to some commercial
transaction. His despatch was intended
to read thus:
"Call at the Post-office and see Mygstt."
The recipients message read.

A Fable for the Young.

There was once a king who had a very
beautiful garden, and grounds arranged
with taste to please tho eye. and afford re.
freshing shade, retired walks, commanding
views; and besides all the delightful points
that could be produced there was one SUI.
perb old oak, so high and grand, that il
could BE- seen for miles around There
were roses and lilacs, and towering shrubs
of every kind; in short nothing was wan
ting to make it perfect spot
One day the sings heal gardener came
in and exclai nod, 20, king, pray come
out AMI see what is the matter with your
garden; everything is willing, and droop.
ing, and diving" While he spoke, the
other gardeners come rushing up, and all
had the same sad things Ia tell. So the
king went out. and there, to be sure, be
fund it all as they had said.
h" first went to his grand old oak tree :,
his pride ard admiration. and said, "Wbv.
oak, what Is the matter with you, that you
are whitening md dying?"
90 sa' tho oak, 81 don't think am
Of any u',, ! am So large and cumber-
some: have no flowers or fruit, and |
take up - much room; besides my branch
es spread 80 wide and thick that it is all
dark and shady under them and no flowers
or fruit can grow there. Now if were a
rose-bush it would be worth while. for I
should have sweet flowers; or if | were a
peach or a pear tree or even like the grape
vine, i could give you fruit"
Then the king went to his favorte rose
bush and said, swell, rose bush, what is
the matter with your why are you droop-
ingw
"Why," said the rose bush, 'I am Of
no use; l have nothing but some flowers.
If | were an oak, like that grand one in
the middle Of the garden, should be of
some use; for then | should be seen for
miles around, and should do honor to your
garden; but as it's might just as welldie."
The king next came to grape vine, no
longer cIinging to the trolis and the trees,
but trailing sadly on the ground. He stop
ped and said, "Grape vine, what's the
matter with you? why arc you lying so
dolefully on the groundw
"Ab," said the vine, "you SEQ what a
pool weak creature / am; l can't even
holi up ny own weight, but must cling
to a tree or post, and what good can l do?
l neither give shade like the oak, nor bear
flowers like shrubs. | can't even so much
as make border for a wall, like the box.
| must always depend on something else,
and surely | am of no use"
So on went tie king, quite in despair
TO see all has place going TO distinctions;
but he suddenly espicd littlc hearts ease,
low down by the ground, with its face turn
ed up to him, stopped and said, "You
dear little hearts ease, what makes you
ook SO bright ond blooming, when every
thing around you is willing away?,'
"Why," said tho hearts case, "I
thought you wanted me here; if you had
wanted an oak, you would have planted
IN acorn; if you had wanted roses, you
, ould have set out rose bush; and if you
lad wanted grapes You would have put
n grape vine. But knew that what
'ou wanted of me was, to be a hearts
ase; so | thought would try AMI be the
'ery best little hearts ease that ever can."

Ye sleeping thunder of the mountain tons. j.
And forests vocal with the moaning pine,
winged winds that sweep the roaring main
Come join your songs with stern Niagara's voice.
And tnnefni chorus Of the river tides,
AMI silver chimings Of the ripping rills;
Let our wide Continent unite to swell
The worlds glad anthem on this happy day:
For rough old Ocean wild with all his storms
At last falls conquered in his own domainl
A modern Cyrus now, with Titan chain
Comes not as Xerxes scoureina his proud waves
But bends the vanquished captive to his will,
Behold! the conquered Monarch Of the deep.
As tn ~ the harbors gate rides in the feet,
With sobbing waves lie bathes his victor's feet.
See, how the ord Is heaving in her ioy.
How rivnl Kingdoms rise in glad salute,
And sister cities meet in fond embrace,
America On Ancient Albion smiles;
Europe from Italy's soft sunny eyes.
And Asia from poor lnda's troubled strand.
Into the New Worlds leaping heart look down
And whisper in her bending ear "all haii"
New York, the brilliant city Of the Franks
Receives unto her bre"st with fond embrace,
And showers her smiles on Lnpdon's hoary walls;
Greets with shout old Edinboro' town
And with her sister cities, outh anc West
Thunders hearty ecome round the homes
That glide the cities Of the Northern beur,
While roll its echoes far along the plain
Where Asia's hOrdes in savage conflict bleed
Ianoufg from baltics rough ana ROCKY shore
Sends her free greeting to Nation free;
Can scarce believe that in this wicked age
mrIcle is wrought without her aid
And wonders ifas in the days fold,
The Gods again have come upon the earth,
While MINOR cities of the earth behold
The herald rays Of her Millenial dawn.
Proud Kings and Emperors and smiling Queens
Extend their ungloved palm in earnest grasp
TO take our young Republic by the hand,
hcnl oil
Thro'out the hemisphere both old and new
This nv upon the Oceans rim have met,
And in the glad rejoicings of the hour
Unite to say, "let this one simple cord
While Ocean now at last is force to hold,
BE to us all golden link of love,
That henceforth. we, as rulers, all may hear
The honest beatings Of each Others hearts,
And Weld our Nations Of their sacred rights,
10 that perpetual and most holy Peace
Which this day dawns upon startled world.'

MoNEY.-Tho desire to be rich is not
evil OF itself. Ii is nonsense for man TO
stand up and disclaim the desire for wealth,
and urge upon the idea that it should be
poor. Money is neither an evil nor good
of itself; it has not moral character. 1t
Is simply an agent, and whether il be good
or evil depends upon the manner in which
it is used. II is like sword. Whether
it be in tho hands Of Benedict Arnold,
bathed in his country's blood, or in the
hands Of Washington, welded for Justice
and liberty, il is sword only, and has
not character. Whether it be an iustru
ment for good or evil, depends upon the
character Of him who holds the hilt, and
not the sword ITSELF So IL is with money.
II is an agent; it is gigantic motive pow.
er that thunders around tho world. If the
devil stands engineer, il thunders on,
freighted with untold mischief. scattering
oppression, and cruelty and wrong. Bnt
If it is guided by the the spirit Of love and
truth, il is like tho sun, shedding light
and summer upon the world. 1t is an an.
gel of mercy and love, when directed by
the spirit Of Christi Beecher.

WHAT PIrY.-It really is too bad that
Mr. Holmes our State Treasurer should
have so unceremoniously taken from the
slaveocratic journals of our State their
principal elcctioncering capital, by paying
promptly at maturity, tho installnont of
of two hundred and sixteen thousand dol.
lars, Of our Locofoco five million loan. He
has also, CONTRARY to Locofoco precedent, J
paid the interest on all outstanding balance
of the precious democratic legacy" 1t is
probable that some very honest people may
have been led to believe that the outra.
geous Misrepresentation Of these slaveocra-
tic presses, that the State Treasury was
really bankrupt, and the credit Of the State
ruined; which would have been the case f
the old Locofoco policy Of getting into debt,
and t even paying the interest, had been
continued. There would have been no ne
cessity Of borrowing the first dollar, but
for this Locofoco State debt, and even
this has been provided for, and any of our
slaveocratic friends having honest claims
against the State have only TO present them
now to the State Treasurer, and they will
be duly honorcd and promptly paid. Thus
has the faith Of tho State been fully re-
deemed, her credit established, and her
securities standing fully as high as any Of |
her sister WestcrH States.

A QUAKER JoKE.-K-, the Qua
ker President OF Pennsylvania railroad,
during the confusion and panic Of last Fall,
called upon the W Bank, with
which tho road had kept regular account,
and asked for an extension of part of its
paper falling duo IL few days. The
Bank President declined rather abruptly,
saying in a tonc common with that fra
ternity:
"Mr. H., your paper must be paid at
maturity. We cannot renew it,"
"Vcry WE'LL" our Quaker replied, and
left the bank. But he did not let the
matter dop here. On leaving the bank
he walked quietly over TO the depot and
teeeraphed all the agents and conductors
on the road TO reject the bills on the W
Bank. In few hours tho trains began to
arrive, full of panic, and bringing the news
of the dstrust Of the W Bank all
along the line Of the road. Stockholders
and dcpos;tors hocked into the bank, ma
king the panic, inquring, "What's the
matter, is the bank broke" A little in
quiry by tho officers showed that the trou-
bic originated in tho rejection of the bills
by the railroad The President seized his
hat and rushed down to the Quakcr's office,
and came bustling in with tho inquiry:
"Mr. r., have you directed the refusal
Of our currency by your agcnts!"
"Ycs," was the quiet reply.
"Why is this 1t will ruin u.s."
"Wcll, friend J., supposed thy
bank was about to fail, rs thee could not
renew little paper for us this morning"
II is needless to say, Mr.. / re-
newad oil tho Quaker's paper AMI enlarged
his line Of discount, while the magic wires
carried all along the road, to every agent,
the scdatvc message: "The W
Bank is all right. Thee may take its cur
