Amos, who receives the JOURNAL regularly, and
who lives away down cast, to read it:
A MIsER's 81 PRAYER.-Thc following singular
prayer was made by John Ward, of Hackney,
England. The document, which was found in
Wards own handwriting, might be called the
mser's prayer 1t is one OF the examples ON
record of men combining in themselves the ut
most fanaticism, with the total absence of any
thing like moral feeling:
O, Lord, thou knowcst that have nine estates
in the city of London, and likewise that have
lately purchased an estate in fee simple in the
county of Essex; l beseech thee to preserve the
two counties of Middlesex and Essex from fire
and earthquakes; ; and rs have q mortgage in
Hcrtfordshire, beg of thee to have an eye of
compassion on that county, and for the rest of the
counties thou mayest deal with them as thou art
pleased. O, Lord, enable the banks to answer
all their bills and make my debts on good men.
Give prosperous voyage and return to the
Mermaid sloop, because | have insured it and
as thou hast said the days of the wicked are but
short, ] trust in thee that thou wilt no. forget
thy promise, as | have purchased an estate in re-
version, which will be mine upon the death of
that profligate young man, Sir l.. l.. Keep my
friends from sinking, and preserve me from
thieves and housebreakers and make all my
servants so honest and faithful that they may at
tend to my interests, and never cheat me out of
my property, night or day.

PoLITrcAL MISCluEFMAKER is for the wise,
the brave and prudent 20 build up institutions
and governments for the welfare and happiness
of man it is the business of fools and knavcs to
destroy them. A government more exactly
adapted to the general good than that of the
Federal Union, was never conceived by the gcni
us OF man. 1t has secured the uninterrupted
prosperity Of three generations, and from weak
ness and poverty, in the space of three quarters
of century, grown to position in the first rank
of nations in peace or war. 1t commands the
respecA end admiration of everybody whose res
pect Is to be desired, in every part of the world,
where the treasures Of commerce contribute to
power and intelligence. 1t would seem that
such 4 government-so free, so equal, SO cnlight-
ened-shoud certainly receive loyal support
at home. Not SO. As every human body, at its
birth bears the germ Of death within, SO every
human enterprise carries with it the seeds of de.
cay and destruction, ANA

THE PAsT.-Thc sod mournful post--its memo
res are always with us, revealing to our alarmed
souls the giant spectre of unimproved hours,
wasted powers aud buried talents--lost time,
which we might have redeemed by good deeds,
or sent ireighted with bright and truthful
thoughts down to distant generations. The past
is TO us like the fall Of The year, calling up sad
solemn thoughts. We hear the wind bowling n
requiem mid the leaaess branches of the trees,
and everywhere dead hopes, like autumn leaves,
bestrew our path. Yes, there is requiem sound
ing in our hearts for departed hours misspent
and unimproved, which have gone from us for
ever, bearing with them no record of good deeds
done by our hand--recording for rs no brilliant
thought which, though :" born at midnight"
might have redeemed the day.-Hespeyian.

SUBLIME Except in the transcendent perora-
tlon of Webstcrs great speech in reply to IIayne,
we have never met with anything more beautiful
than the following passage from the Address de-
livered at San Francisco on the 4lh instant, by
John V. Watson, Esq:
"Amid all the contests that have marked our
career, the Union has been the prevailing and
triumphant sentiment. Let it be the Eternal
But if the time shall unhappily come, when this
mighty fabric shall yield to the parrc idal attacks
of civil discord, pray God that its fate may be
oblivion, that no wreck vestge OF its existence
may remain to attest its former greatness or in
cite the story of its fall. Let the Atlantic and
the Pacific meet in mournful embrace over its
ruins, and their commingled waves sing its re-
quiem."

THE NATIONAL LoAN.--On the Goth ult, the
Secretary of tho Treasury opened the proposals
for the five million treasury note loan, aud made
the awards. Upwards of thirteen millions were
bid for, of which the lowest bid was per cent,
and the highest G. About $1,000, 900 were awar-
ded at from 81 to 81 per cent; $40, 900 ut 8, and
the remaining two millions and n third will bc
awarded pro rata among the per cent. bidders.
The bids are lower than heretofore, and this fact
is considered good evidence that the present
condition of affairs iu Europe will not exert to
any considerable extent n deeterious effect upon
the money market OF the United States

when 4 Die.

viii the friends love be near me
When l die q?
viii they shrink 10 touch the pallor
or the lips that turn to meet them
Trembling with the last " Goodbye ?"
May my fathers arms enrold me-
When | die?
They will shield my heart from terror
When | go to meet the shadows
That beneath the flowers lie.
And my mother, sweetest mother.
When die,
would have hy voice to soothe mo
Till it mingled with the music
or the angels in the sky.
Brothers, sisters. kiss me often
When die,
And my lips will smile in closing
As If clasped in dreams so golden
That will not wake to sigh.
All, the world will soon forget mo
When | die,
And its flowers will bloom as brightly,
And its birds will sing rs sweetly,
Though loved them and | die.

TO Buy HIM OFF.-The New Orleans Delta
proposes that the Democratic party, in order to
redeem itself from the scorn Of the nation force
Buchanan to resign bis place-paying him the
salary for the remainder Of his term, by contri-
button from the several States. The suggestion
is not bad one but Buchanan, If we may Judge
by the margins on coal and lumber contracts, has
too good thing to give up for the salary alone.
Pay him a coal and lumber bonus, then.

The MosT MIsERABLE.-Those who suffer pbys-

Real misery is to hopelessly sigh for that which
Is beyond the reach. That man is most miserable
who, yearning for sympathy aud affection, has no
ear to listen for his football, no eye to gisten at
his approach, no friend to condoe with his sor-
rows, or exult with him over his successes.
