The RooRBACK ExPLoDED.-Y esterday we
incidentally noticed the current rumor that
the financial agent of the Office Of the Clerk of
the House Of Representatives of the United
States is defaulter, expressing the belief that
on his return to Washington he would instantly
disprove the allegation. The publication of
such rumors in the Philadelphia Press and
elsewhere, it seems, caused him to leave his
sick bed Immediately on seeing them, and to
hasten back. He arrived here yesterday, and
in an hour after his arrival it was made appa-
rent not only that he is not a defaulter to the
amount Of single cent, but that the response
bic business entrusted to him was never so care
fully and satisfactorily managed as since he
took charge of it. Thus his accounts were
found to have been brought up to the day when
he recently left Washington for his home in
Pennsylvania, and every dollar due those hay
ing just demands on the Clerks Office paid to
them that could lawfully be paid without pre-
vious action of Congress on them.
The gentleman thus aSpersed is Jno F. Car
ter, ESD, who has reason to be gratified rather
than mortified that his enemies should have
taken advantage Of his temporary absence to
promulgate such falsehOods against him; be-
cause he has thus been afforded an opportunity
to make it plain that his qualifications as
dsbursing officer are of the very first class
For many years past parties have been in the
habit Of presenting claims against the Clerk 5
Office entirely or in part fictitious At times
they have been paid, without previous reference
to Congress; and too often by Congress, in the
hurry of the legislation Of the expiring hours
Of a session. Those who present them rarely
fail to essay to get up clamor against the
Clerk or his financial agent, when informed
that their demands cannot be liquidatcd with
out previous Endorsement by the House, or by
that bOdy's Committee on Accounts. In this
case it is clear to us that Mr. Carter owes to the
fact that he has in this manner disappointed
some such parties, the origin of the budget
of falsehOOds concerning himself so eagerly
caught up and proclaimed to the world by
Mr.. Forney's Press.

To watch froRpmy lattice each star on high,
As it peeps from its dwelling-place bright.
And love, when the pale moons silver beam
IL thrown over hillock aud dale,
70 gaze on the mirr9s.liI,rface o. the stream
That ioyously winds through the vale.
For my soul is sick with the iollies Of day; 81
Its pleasures delight me no more;
I've seen my bright hopes one by one fade away
And they've left heart wruHg to the core.
I've bowed at the shrine Of the world, but alas
found that its smile was deceit,
That the guy scenes OF bliss, DER the vision which
When grasped at, prove naught but a cheat.
But there IS a charm, in the quietude deep
That regns at the midnight hour,
There are feelings which then will insensbly creel
Ger the heart with resistless power;
Which tell to the soul as the upturned eye
Chances over the brightness OF heaven,
That there is a sphere tar above the blue SKY
Where rest to the msaryis givsn. u. C.L.

the evils he knew SO well, might not come
upon her.
He began in earliest childhood to culti-
yate and store her mind. He wished

woman, but he did not fear that knowledge
however profound or abstruse, would des-
troy her true womanly qualities, and he
knew it would be one of the best safe.

with several languages, and was instruct-

But bad and wholly irreligious and i'm

should grow up with very different senti-
