POST OFFICE CONTRIBUTIONS.

The plan to raise funds for the completion OF the
Washington National Monument, through the me-
dium Of the Post Offices throughout the United
States, bids fair to prove successful Several hun
dred posmasters have already notified Lieut.. Ives,
the engineer in charge, that they have placed box
es within their Offices for the reception of contribu
tions, and it is believed that very large proper
tion Of the whole will cooperate in the project.
From some offices returns for the first month
have already been received The town of Lynn,
Massachusetts stands at the head of the list, hav
ing contributed SIG. Wheeling Virginia, sent
Sl8; Washington $17 Baltimore and Portsmouth,
Virginia. SIS each; New Y ork, New Haven, Char
leston Petersburg, Virginia, Montgomery, Alaba-

Arkansas, each about $40; Newport, Rhode Isl
and, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, Augusta, Lagrange
and Macon, Georgia, Fredericksburg, Virginia,
Hernando, Mississippi, and Tulip, Arkansas, from
So to SO each. Returns from about one hundred
other towns range from S. TO cents If each
community where there is post Office would, eve
ry month, contribute even the latter sum, fund
would accrue to the Monument of over $4,000
per year.
All of the letters containing remittances are put

ANCIENT DEMOCRATS.

Parson Brownow, of the Wing, in some rather
profanc remarks relative to the politics oft early
Christians, says "Judas was Democratic preacher,
and the Sub-Treasurer of the Church. He took
sop out of the same dish with the Saviour-hunted
him up in the night to kiss him. He was an
afectionate, as well as amight-polking Democrat" "
The Parson forgot to mention that Judas did not
do this, until he left the Democratic party, and
Joined the 'Opposition." lie betrayed his Saviour,
but his latterday imitators have only their country
to betray. That the "Opposition" treated him with
the most distinguished consideration, is evident
from the fact, that they presented him with rope
and sent him to "Opposition" headquarters IN
Tophet. He is not the only Democrat that has
gone to the deu1 by Joining the Opposition" and
we feel rejoiced at having Parson Brownlow'
authoity to prove that the unmitigated reprobate
on record belongs to the "Opposition" party. Well

MYSTERIES OE THE BANK PARLoRs-The
New York Tribune says, the discount clerk OF one
of the city banks recently resigned his situation
His resi- gnation was accepted his accounts nvestl-
gated and pronounced all right, 4 complimentary
vote passed by the board for his attention to his
duties, &c. Hc then stated to the Board that ne
had communication to make, as caution to IN
duce them to watch his successor. He stated that,
Notwithstanding his accounts were all correct at the
time of resignation, he had, in fact been using the
Bills Receivable Of the Bank for years as collateral
for leans, and employing the funds in the purchase
of paper ut usuriuus rates. By this course he had
accumulated sufficient property to meet his noder-
ate desires, and having further use for the faei-
tiles he had enjoyed, he had RESIGNED.

ARDENT (p) SPIRITS.

judge Edmonds, the Spiritualist, has been lee
tur;ng in New York on "Death" He said there
is ony one way in which the fear of death could be
swept from the earth aud the great problem OF
mans future existence solved, and that way was
the much-abused system of splrtuasm. oplritu-
alism had established the fact that when man oles
he masses to another state of existence; ana, aso
that there is great diversity in the experience OF
different spirits in the passage Mr.. Edmonds sta
ted several cases to illustrate his positions among
which were the following: A spirit once came to
the speaker who had awakened in a place OF utter
DISSOLUTION and solitude, and had remained there
for months Having been taught that the condi-
tion in which the soul finds itself after death Is
eternal he labored under the painful belief that he
must stay there forever He had been hard, sell
fish man, who left his wife and children and went
to California in search of gold, and while there died.
The spirit of strict Sunday keeping deacon
came to him and commenced upbraiding him for
not observing the FIRST day of the week in stricter
manner; and he ascertained that this spirit had
been in the other world some time, aud was only
conscious Of existence on Sunday. During the re-
naming six days of the week he remained in q
state of unconsciousness. young lady died OF
heart disease in ball room in London, and was
unconscious for three weeks. : She came to him
and began to talk to him as though she were in
the green room, tor which she started when at
tackled. In the course of his lecture, he also gave
several other instances illustrative Of this theory,
and drew the conclusion that those whose lives are
passed in the pursuit of good and noble objects
those who love truth and labor to disseminate
knowledge and the spirit of charity, experience but
a brief period of unconscousness; while those sor-
did and grovelng men. whose aims are selfish and
whose hearts are closed to charity, are often un-
conscious for months.

HoRRIBLE-We are informed ola supposed case
of murder and burning, which took place near Ger
mantown Hyde county, on last Saturday night week.

discovered to be fire, and the arrival ofpersons
it was found with its contents, and the body of Mr.
Dixon, to be nearly consumed A sufficient portion
of the body, suppose, was found to identify it.

A Mothers Love.

A cruel edict has gone forth to STAY every man
child at its birth throughout the land of Goshen,
where the captive Hebrews dwelt. Although
many were saved through the sympathy of those
who were employed to execute the barbaro1s
decree, yet doubtless many also persisted. While
many little victims were strangled as soon as
they entered the world, without the aching heart
ed mothers being able to save them, one mother
showed an energy which others would have
gladly shown, had it been within their power.
Little Moses came into being. At the hazard
of her own life, and doubtless ready to give it
for his, the determined mother contriVed to
elude detection for three long months What
months of anxiety were those Every step
that approached her door, every sound that
struck her wakeful ear at night, made her bosom
heave and her frame trembe for the safety of
her child. At last, when concealment was no
longer possible, who but a Dlether could have so
ingeniously contrived, and SO patiently executed
the plan of the little ark, which she placed in
the rushes by the river side, that the weeping
babe might attract some compassionate deliverer
to the spot? And Oh the JOY that swelled her
bosom when she was again permitted to enfold
him in her arms She had felt no joy since the
earth had become her own residence like that.
Great was the reward of her affection, when she
afterwards saw that child an instrument of God
in Furnishing the enemies of her people, and
ra ised to the highest honor God ever conferred
on man. That mothers affection for her child
was the visible basis of all the future wonders
that occurred in the history of her people.
Two mothers dwelt together The child of
one of them died in the night, and she rose
and laid it by her neighbor, taking away the
living child But mother could not be thus
deceived. They appealed to1ing Solomon each
determinatey asserting their right to the living
child. Solomon called for sword, and COM
manded to divide the child in two, and give
half to each Then it was, as he had foreseen,
that mothers love appeared. The unlawful
mother was agreeing to this barbarous arrange
ment but the true mother, trembling like leaf,
for it is said, cher bowels yearned upon her
son." cried ont, 80, my lord, give her the living
cnuo, anu py NJ neans say IT, NO though
these arms may never enfold it more, nor this
bosom again afford it nourishment, let it live.
in the embrace of another; but let it live That
was the mother of the child. All perceived
that hers was true mothers plea Restore
the child to its rightful mother, and let heaven
reward her true affection" 1t was done, and
