GOVERNMENT EXTRAvAGANcF.-The opposition pa
pers are now busily engaged in exposing what thew
choose to style the corruptions of the democratic
party They have entirely lost sight (purposelv Of
course OF the corruption which was practised and
carried on during whg administrations, and as their
memories seem detective in this respect it may not
be ainlss to stir them up by way of remembrance
Is possible that they have forgotten the Gardener
and Galphin frauds Of FiIimores term? We think
Gardener raised about fee hundred thousand dollars
at one grab from wing Administration. and as onr
contemporaries of the opposition now have their
heads full ofhe corruption subject" we hone thew

mere may be cases where mean, dishonest men have
crept into office under democratic Administrations

The Secret of Success.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

Ri JOHN G BAKE.
" "Good lnck is all?" the ancient proverb breaches
But though il looks very grave and Use,
Trust hot the lazy lesson that it teaches,
For, as it stands, the musty maxim liesl
That luck is something, were q trner story
And in life's mingled game of skill and luck,
The cards that win the stake of wealth or glory
Are Genius, Patience, Perseverance, Pluckl
TO borrow still another illustration,
tritle more specific and precise
Small chance has Luck to guide the operation
',. Where cunning Wit has loaded all the diceI
The real secret of the certain winner
Against the plottings of malicious Fate,
Learn from the story of gaming sinner,
Whose frank confessions will here relate,
:" In this business, as in any other
BY which chap an honest living earns,
You don't get all the science from your mother
But as you foler it, you lives and learns
"And j, from being much behind the curtain,
- And getting often very badly stuck,
Finds out at least there's nothing so uncertain
AS trusting cards and everything to luckl
$50 now, you which naturally enhances
The faith in Fortune that used 10 feel
fakes good care to regulate the chances,
And always has finger in the dealt"
