A DoLORoUs BUT GRAPHIC View OF
HUMAN AFFAlRs.--A correspondent Of
the Wisconsin Chief thus sums up the
characteristics Of human existence
"All confidence is lost between man
and man. The bottom has fallen out Of
everything. Shrewd business managers
are cheating Gol in their professions, and
the devil in their bargains. Ginger Is
made out Of mustard. and coffee of chic
ory. Young Hyson is raised in the COW
pasture, and Young America in the dram
shop. Pure wines are made of poor
whisky, and Havana cigars Of herbs
Nutmegs are made of wood, and cotton
Of corn shucks and boulders Tobacco
is manufactured of old rags and rats
nests, and cheeses Of turpentine and re-
fuse lard. Rascality has become a vir.
tue, and whisky turned to vinegar. Leg,
islatures are marked as merchants mark
goods, and the peoples funds absorbed
BY charitable purposes"
"Governors are knocked off Tor fifty
thousand dollars; legislatures from fivt
thousand to twenty thousand dollars.--
Railroad stock is down below zero
Ballot-boxes are stuffed and vote.
are sold to the highest bidder. Caucusel
are packed" and young men election
ser on the Sabbath. Fairbanks's scales
have taken to swindling, and cid rat!
selling their tails to spike cannon. jews
harps are palmed off IS harps Of a thou
sand strings, and democrats as genuine
republicans spirits Of Just men made
perfect. Sausages are adultersted. and
tempting links seem to wag in the most
dogged manner. Our Territory, IS well
as ous crinoline, is indefinitely expanding
In fne. there are none truthful save horse
jockeys; none patriotic save politicians
mono talented but those who make OF
change Of grocery corner, and cheal
out Of the needy what they give 70 ths
Lord"

existence of which was never suspected,
and which was filled with booty. Anto-

affection was received by Blanca, and
but few days elapsed before their nup-
tials were celebrated with great rejoicing.
The village of Chietl still isin existence !;
though it has increased in size and popu-

still the name of Blanca Bandettini and
the Bandit Chief is unforg0tten.

ELOQUENT ExrRACr.

Tho best thing yet written by Edward
Everett In his Mount Vernon PapArs's
is an article on the comet. After descri-
bing its approach to the earth and che
beautiful picture it presented, be says:
" Return, then, mysterious traveller. to
the depths Of the heavens, never araiu "a

Thou hast run thy race with. glory -
Millions OF eyes have gazed upon thee
with wonder--but they shall never look
upon thee again. Since thy last appear.

tan, the Parthian, the Byzantine, the
Saracenic, the Ottoman dynasties have
sunk or are sinking into the gulf Of aees.
Since thy last appearance, new words
have come out from behind the evil 81
waters. The Magian fires are quenched
on the bill tops Of Asia; the Ghaldeas
y blind !; the Egyptian hierogramist has
lost bis cunning; the Orscles are dumb.
Wisdom now dwells in the farthest
I'hules, or in newly discovered worlds
beyond the sea. HAPPY. when wheeling
up again from the celestial abyssss, thou
art once more seen by the dwellers Of the
earth, the language we speak shall BE-
forgotten, and science shall have fed to
the utmost corners Of the earth. But
even there His hand, that now marks out
thy wondrous circuit. shall still guide thy
course; ; and then, as now, Hesper will
smile at thy approach. and Arcturus with
his sons rejoice at thy coming"
