will pay the interest,l on all he is
worth, to be rid Of the everlasting and
ever-destroying agitation about sla-
very?
This is taking only the money view
of the question It's true. The lives
that are to be shortened-the widows,
orphans and cripples that are TO be
sprinkled all over this great country
these should be taken into the ac-
count. These, both the dead and the
disconsolate living, will be martyrs
most worthy of our sympathy-monu-

ness ofrebellion-and, as such, will, in
the universal scale, bring the balance
on the right side of the account.

The Arkansas Traveller.

Reader, did you ever let your eye

Traveller. If you have, read it again
and laugh as you did once. II you
have not, restrain your risibilities as
much as possible, and read the follow
ing !:
\ lost and bewildered Arkansas
Traveller, approaching the cabin Of a
squatter about forty years ago, discov-
cred the proprietor seated on an old
whisky barrel near the door, partly
sheltered by the caves, playing a fdt7le,
when the following dialogue ensucd,
the squatter still continuing to play the
same part over and over:
Traveler-Halo, stranger
Squatter-Hello, yourself!
T.-Can | get to stay all night with
you?
S.-You can git to go to hi.
I.-Hlve you any spirits here?
S.--Lots Of 'em. Sal saw one last
night by that thar old gum tree, and
and nearly sl1eered her to death.
T.-You mistake my aeaning-have
you got any liquor?
S.-Had some yesterday, but Old
Bose he got in and Tapped all Nv it out
of the pot
T.-You don't understand; I don't
mean pot liquor. I'm wet and cold,
and want some whisky. Have you got
any?
SO, yes-I drank the last this
morning.
TIN hungry, haven't had a thing
since morning; can't you give me
something to eat?
S.--Hain't id thing in the house.
Not a mouthful Of meat Or a dust of
meal mere.
T.-Well, can't you give my horse
something's
S.-Got nothin to feed him on.
How far is it to the next house
S.-Stranger, / don't know. I've
never been thar.
T.-Well, do you know who lives
here?
ST do.
T.-As I'm so bold then what Nigh,
your name be?
Sit might be Dick, and it might
be Tom but it lacks id sight of it
T-Sir, will you tell me where thi;
road goes to?
Sits never been anywhar since
I've been here; it's always thar wher
/ git up in the mornin
T.-Well, how far is it to where il
forks
Sit don't fork at all, but it is split
tup like the devil.
T.-As I'm not likely to get to an.
other house to night, can't you let me
sleep in yours, and I'll tie my horse tt
a tree, and do without anything to ed
or drink!
S.-My house leaks; thar's only one
dry spot in it, and Sal sleeps on it
And that tree is the old woman's per
simmon you can't tie to it, cause she
don't want um shuk of She lows tt
make beer out'n um.
T.-Why don't you finish covering
your house and stop the leaks?
Sits been raining all day.
T.-Well, why don't you do it in DIR,
weather?
Sit don't leak then.
T.-As there seems to be nothing
alive about your place, but children
how do here anyhow?
S.--Putty we'll, I thank you; how
do you do yourself?
Tt mean what do you do for liv
ing here?

AN OLD F1NANCIER's OPINION OF
THE WAR AND ITS MONETARY CoNsE-
oUENcEs.-John Thompson, in his last
money Reporter, gives the following
opinion OF the war and its effects upon
the finances Of the country:
"The banks and the capitalists of
the Northern States are getting SO
much of their money into Government
loans that, like England, the national
credit must be sustained. Since the
troubles commenced the banks have
taken largely Of every United States
loan, whether Of Treasury Notes or OF
Stock, and we judge that at least halt
Of the bank capital of this city is now
absorbed BY this class OF securities
Private capital is also running into the
same assets most rapidly; thus bring
ing an influence in favor of a govern
ment, and in support OF sure and
prompt payment of interest which 10th
ing can overthrow.
Whether the rebellion is to cost two
or three hundred millions depends en-
tirely on the power of the slave states
to hold out for one, two or three years
and it is, in fact, Of much less account
than is generally supposed, whether
the amount be two or three hundred
millions.
The aggregate valuation Of real and
personal property In New York State,
in 1860, was sl,42O, ZOO, 600. The
population of the State of New York
is four millions, or one-ffth OF the
whole of the whole Free States. We
therefore assume that the aggregate
valuation of the Free States is $1,000,
100000. Five per cent on this amount
is three hundred and fifty millions, a
sum larger than it will cost, III any
event, to put secession where the devil
can never resurrect It.
Now, what business nan-wha6
bank-what farmer, even, will demur
at paying two and half mills per an
nun tax, for ten successive years tthls

This is q capital and characteristic
story, which comes TO the drawer from
Atlanta, Georgia:
"On one of our Georgia railroads
there is conductor named Smell, a ve-
ry clever, sociable, gentlemanly man,
great favorite with the company he
is connected with and the travelling
public in general-fond Of a joke, quick
at lapartee, and faithJuIin the dis
charge Of has business. During the
past year, as his train, well filled with
passengers, was crossing bridge ov-
er wide stream, some seven or eight
feet deep, the bridge broke down, pre-
cipitating the two passenger-cars into
the stream. As the passengers elner-
ged from the wreck they were borne
away by the current Our friend Smell
had succeeded in catching hold ofsome
withs that grew on the bank Of the
stream. to which he held for dead life.
A passenger less fortunate came rush
ing by. Smell extended one hand, say
ing.

et!'
"You NAV imagine the effect Of such

Coop ADvIcE.-Mind the little

Coon ADvIcE.-Mind the little
things. Pay that little debt-'tis
promised-redeem it; if it is cent,
hand it over-you know not what i'm
portant event hangs upon it. Keep
your word sacredly; keep it to the
children, they will mark it sooner than
any one else, and the effect will proba-
bly, be as lasting as life. Springs are
little things, but they are sources Of
large streams; a helm is little thing,
but governs the course of a ship; a
bride bit is little thing, but see its
use and power! nails and pegs are lit
tie things, but they hold the large parts
of large building together; word,
a look, a frown-all are little things,
but powerful for good or evil. Think
Of this, and mind the little things.

A Perilous Adventure at Niagara
Falls-the Maid Of the Mist goes
through the Rapids and the Whirl-
pool.


perilous voyages ever chronicled was
made by the little steamer Maid of the
Mist, in which so many pleasure seek
ers have, in times past, voyaged to the
face of the immense sheet of water
which constitutes the famous falls of
Niagara. 1t appears that the boat has
never been paying property, and her
owner has incurred some indebtedness
which was about to result in her seiz-
ure. To avoid this catastrophe, she
was yesterday taken down the river,
through the rapids and the whirlpool,
and arrived safely at Lewiston! The
daring navigator who accomplished
this hitherto supposed to be impossible
feat, was none other than Robinson,
the man who has so often rendered
himself conspicuous by his intrepidity
in saving life and property endangered
by proximity to the great cataract.
The Maid of the Mist got up steam
about half.past three O'Clock, and shov-
ed out into the stream from her land
ing. She had on board only three per-
sons-Robinson, and one other man at
the wheel, and the third below, to act
as fireman and engineer. The boat
ran up stream short distance, as if to
get good start, and then her prov
was pointed with the current and away
she went--the few spectators on shore
holding their breath with suspense.-
How the adventurers on board felt we
have no means Of knowing. As she
entered the rapids every eye was
strained, and as the gallant little craft
surmounted billow after billow, under
the skillful guidance Of her pilot, and
passed each ordeal in safety, the ut
most enthusiasm was manifested AT
one point, however, !. thrill of horr or
struck the hearts of the watchers, for
the Maid Of the Mist appeared to have
capsizedI The surprise was only for
an instant however, for she Immediate
ly righted with the loss of her smoke
stack, and passed on otherwise un-
harmed. To run the whirlpool, tho
hazardous, was still less hazardous
exploit than the passage of the rapids,
and she did it without trouble, and
those who beheld the boat emerging
into comparatively still water, drew a
long sigh OF relief.
1t was a terrible ordeal, as it has
long been taken for granted that no
craft as small as that could live a mo-
ment in the seething can!dron of the
Rapids, OF escape from the whirlpool
after entering its circle. No other
craft, either large or small, has ever
attempted to perform the trip. The
Maid of the Mist will never again be
seen in the theatre Of her past history.
To ascend the Rapids is a physical inn
possibility for a steamer OF any power.
Robinson has been for many years am
bilious to make the trip, ana once Of
ferred to do it in 4 skif, but could find
no one to encourage the undertaking.
