The Chicogo Press and Tribune thus
di'poses Of the charge that Mr.. Lincoln
took the Mexican side through the late
war with that country:
"The revival of this infamous slander.
after its thorough aud co n plete exposures
in the canvass of ls5s, shows to what des-
peration the nomination Of Abrshsm Lin
coin has driven the Sham Democracy
Col. Richardson, however, was not very
circumspect in bis language in starting
the falsehood again on its travels. A
slight analysis Of bis state ut in connec.
ton with the date of Mr.. Lincoln's en-
trance in Congress is, of itself, sufficient
refutation of the whole charge. He says
Mr.. LiDcoln's speeches against his coun-
trymen and in favor Of Mexico retired
him from the political arena, and the
Wing party refused to return him to
Congress- Now, it so happens that Mr..
Lincoln was elected to Congress just a.
bout the close of the Mexican war
When be took bis seat Gen. Scott was.iD
possession of the City of Mexico, and the
war was virtually ended. Had Mr.. Lin
coin occupied the position which Col.
Richardson falsely charges him with hav-
ing held in relation to the Mixican war,
does any man believe than an Illinois
onstituency-especially the district which
bad sent the gallant Ii HOrdiu and bis brave
regiment to the scene of con6ict-would
have elected him to Congressl The fact
that be was SO elected, together With his
votes and speeches in Congress, proves
the whole story to be utterly false; and
its continued refutation, after its expo
sure, shows the desperate strait to which
the party feels itself driven by the nomi-
nation of an honest man and true patriot.
1t will fail of its purpose, however. The
records Of Congress arc accessible, and
wherever the lie is uttered it will be ex-
posed. Moreover, when the facts are all
brought out, the charge can be regarded
in no other light than as direct assault
upon every man who was identified with
the old Wing party. Mr.. Lincoln was
in full communion and sympathy with
that party-the friend and associate of
Clay, Webster, Crittendep, Hardin, and
all its trusty leaders. He held the same
opinions in relation to the war which they
held, gave the same votes that they gave;
and when COL Richardson seeks to fasten
such a charge upon Mr.. Lincoln, he, BY
Implication at least. accuses them and the
whole rank aud file of the Wing party of
the same thing"

A Painful Case.

On Friday morning young girl was
found wandering about the streets of Phil
adelphia. Upon being questioned BY an
Officer stated that she was homeless and
without friends. She was taken to the
station house, and subsequently to the
central station, where she told sad sto-
ry. 1t was as follows: She was seven
teen years of age, and native Of Salem,
N. j. Two years ago ber father pur-
chased a plantation near New Orleans,
and with bis family removed there. The
girl went to school few miles from home,
and bired man was in the habit of car
rying her backward and forwards in q
wagon. During these rides he succeeded
in winning her affections, and in persuad-
ing her to elope with him. She stole
500 belonging to her father, and the
couple came to this city. where the villain
effected her ruin. aud after obtaining all
her money and pledging nearly all her
clothing be deserted her. Having no
means left, the poor womsn was turned
into the streets By the proprietor of the
house where she had been staying. The
girl refused to make affidavit against the
scoundrel who bad betrayed ber. She
was sent to the House Of Refuge until
her family can be communicated with.

Young Ladies. Read!

The following from the Hartford Daily
Coarant, in relation to fashionable nri-
sance, which prevails in that city, Will
apply to all the towns aid eitiss.iauthe
U. Ststes:-
What a number Of idle, useless young
womeu-they call themselves young la
dies-parade our streets! "They toll
not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon in
all his glory was not arrayed like one of
them" Do they ever look forward to
thr time when the real cares and respon-
sibilities of life will cluster around then7
Have they made, or are they making any
preparation for the onerous duties which
will assuredly fall to their lot-duties to
society, the world and Godl They
lounge or sleep away their time in the
morning. They never take hold Of the
drudgery, the repulsive toll; which each
son and daughter of Adam should per-
form in this world. They have no hat-
its of industry, no taste for the useful, no
skill in any really useful art. They are
in the streets, not in the performance Of
their duty, or for the acquisition ofhealth,
but to see and be seen. They expect
thus to pick up husband who will be as
indulgeut as their parents have been, and
support them in idleDess. They who
SOW wind in this way are cure to reap the
whirlwind. No life can be exempt from
cares. How mistaken an education do
these girls receive who are allowed to
imagine that life is always to be garden
of roses! Labor is the great law Of our
being. How worthless will she prove
who is unable to perform it,
Domestic education cannot be acquired
In the streets. 1t cannot be learned a.
midst the friyolties of modern society
A good, and worthy, and mfortSring-
ing husband can rarely be picked on the
pavement.
"The nymph who walks the public streets,
And sets her cap for all she meets,
May catch the fool who turns to stare,
But men of sens avoid the snare"
The highest and best interest of socie-
ty in the future, demand better, more
useful, more domestic training Of our
young ladies.

High Life below Stairs.

Agay couple, representing themselves to
be man and wife, arrived at Carpenters
Hotel, Newark, q few days ago, and book
ed themselves as permanent residents.-
For few days they lived most luxuriaut-
ly debating the details Of their fodder"
and having it served up in their own room;
but when the time arrived for them to
settle the bill they manifested strong
disposition to ''foot it" during the land
lord absence, whereupon the bar tender
very urgently requested them to remain
under lock and key until the proprietor
returned, when they acknowledged their
inability to pay, and implOred bin not to
send them to Jail. The captain compro-
missed the affair By setting them to work
the man at saving wood, and the wo-
man at scrubbiDg-and is determined to
keep them at it until the whole bill is
paid.

Gold Ink.

Take some leaf gold and white honey
and grind them together upon a marble
slab until the gold is reduced to an i'm,
palpable powder. The paste now form
ed is agitated in large glass tumbler
with soft water, which dissolves the hon
ey while the gold falls down to the bot
tom. The water is now poured of and
the gold washed until all the honey is re-
moved, after which the gold is dried and
then suspended in mucilage Of gum a.
rabic. 1t is now used for writing upon
paper, and when it becomes dry it may
be FURNISHED and rendered Brilliant
Silver ink is prepared in the same man
ner, by substituting silver leaf for the
gold. Gold is also obtained in powder
by dissolving nitrody drochloric acid Tag
ia regia,) which is called the terchloride
of gold. When crystallized, this is solu.
bic in water, alcohol and ether, and may
be used for gold ink By adding a gum
mucilage to the water or alcohol in which
it is dissolved. Metallic writing fluids Of
different colors can be made by mixing
bronze powders in gum mucilage.--'Scl.

To Preserve the Skins of Animals.

A correspondent sends the following
method which be says he obtained from
a foreign journal, and has found reliable:
Stretch the skin tightly and smoothly up
on board, hair side down, ADD tack 1t
by the edges to its place. ScraPe away
the loose flesh aud fat With blunt knIie,
and work in plenty of chalk with plenty
of hard rubbing. When the chalk begins
~ nouder and fall. of, remove the skin
from the board, fill 1t with finely ground
alum wrap it closely together and keep
i, il dry place few days. By this
means It will be made pliable. and will
retain the American AgrlcnacHl-

The Physician and the Pastor.

There are two classes of men to whom
the world presents itself in an aspect
which is bid from the masses of m ankind.
The Physician and the Pastor look on
men from a prospect ground peculiarly
their own. They see man not in the
might of his mind, or in the vigor of
his frame, when be comes out 10 the
morning the fair handiwork of beav
en-, and conscious sovereign of all under
God. They look on him in bis prostra-
ton and misery; visit him when under the
depression of grief, and in the impatienos
and feverishness of pain; they hear all
his repinings, see all his weaknesses and
tears, and know better than others how
poor and humble thing he comes to be-
fore be dies. They see him not in the
touching grace and attitude of the sub
lime Apollo, but in the recumbent and
distorted posture of the suffering Laopoon.
Others walk on the surface of society
they penetrate to the core. And it is
being conversant with different worlds.
Without and in the street, all is hilarity
and JOY of heart, and the gay spirit of
life predominates. But it is only the O.
pening of door, or the stepping into a
cellar, and the scene is all changed
Man, the goodly child of heaven, they fol-
low him who was seen in all the alertness
of joy and life, made after the same pat
tern, and breathed into it by the same
spirit, is laid out in languishment and
death, too poor for aught but pity, his
sinking pulse and laboring heart betok-
eniDg how little OF the little span is left
him.
To these scenes, both come on the work
Of benevolence; but they occupy different
departments. The curer of tho body
knows bis tolls and anxieties. Let him
first do his work and be gone-and how
necessary is it that physician should be
pious man: Bot if not-Of then, to
sit down By the bedside, at the moment
when the physician shakes bis head and
retires, and all that is seen and heard
betokens that the sick is given over. At
that moment of wound up interest, to press
gently the wasted band, and if the sick
be a child Of God, to make the skillful
application Of the Gospels comforts, to
select and present the chapters which the
Spirit has written for the dying, to tell
of the rod and staff of Jehovah to COM
fort, and bow precious in His eyes is the
death of his saints; or, if be be not a
child of God, cautiously to alarm, and
gently to press home the frequent invita-
tions, the encouraging promises the rich
es of the Fathers tender meroies, and the
impressive testimonies of the Savior's love
with these, and with the fearful alterna-
tions, to win, if he can, the poor soul,
whose night is just at hand. What a
task! J ct this must be do, and continue
to do. as be has opportunity, till the Ia
test coming and decisive token Of death
sits upon the body, till the ear has lost
its bearing, and the souls last signal
light is witbdrawn.-Re0. DR.. Vim. Ne

don't want to crowd Slavery upon the

very easily. The difficulty is now that

Lost and Found.

The Troy Times tells the following rat
story:
More than six months ago, Mr.. Leon
ard Edwards, who lives on Fourth street
in that town, lost a valuable gold watch.
He placed it upon a stand when be went
to bed at night, after winding it up
twisting the chain over it as usual. When
be rose in the morning, it was nowhere
to be found. The other afternoon, hav-
ing occasion to make some repairs, bu-
reau in his room was removed, and the
floor taken up. A large hole had been
eaten in the carpet and the floor under it
by predatory rats. In snug corner, be-
tween the joists, was large nest of vari-
fedIartieles such as bits ofpaper, old rags,
remnants of cheese cloths. shavings, and
the like, and in this Mr. Edwards fornd
his missing timo-piece, carefully slowed a.
way. There was dent upon the face,
the crystal was broken. and some disar-
rangement of the machinery indicated a
severe shock.

Said a maiden young and fair:
When June is come in her beauty,
And on the still Summer air
Is borne forth the fragrant breathing

And the warblings of birds
From our natures leafy bowers.
Give me home in the woodlands,
When Sol With his scorching beams
Is witberiug the flowers in their beauty,
And drying the murmuring streams.
Give NE homo where peace ever
Will greet NE when labor is doue:
And though fortune, in show ring her fa-

Its dear lowly precincts may shun,
With compsnion, neatly rObed in the

The grace and peculiar style
Which characterize the apparel
Made up at the great store of Pyle,
Ill covet no more Of earth's blessings;
But lisbtsome, aud huPPy and gay,
Like the fowry and bright month of June,
Shall my days pass in sweetness away.

1t has been suggested to US by different
merchants, that this city is now large
enough and does sufficient business to
justify. the establishment Of a Board of
Trade, where merchants could meet and
deliberate upon general matters of BUSH
ness. Such an organization once existed
here, and many advantages resulted from
the same, until it was sought to make the
Board subservient to individual and corpo-
ration interest, when it was disbanded,
and has not since met. We are re-
eauested to throw out this suggestion
with view of reorganization, many NOR
chants being of opinion that the business
advantages of such Board are obvious
and decided.
1t lie also thought by some that it would
be we'll to organize Provision Exchange,
sort of Rialto, similar to the Exchanges
of larger cities, but, of course, upon
smaller scale. As things now exist, there
is kind of guerrilla contention among
the merchants, many Of whom are buying
and selling the same articles at various
prices, according to the game of "catch-
as-catch-can," and as it is impossible for
the newspapers to give correct quotations,
sellers and buyers from abroad are ne
