The greatest charm of books is, perhaps,
that we see in them that other men have suf

who could have responded to all our agony, be
it what it may. This. at least robs misery Of
its loneliness.

thus shows her sympathy with treason: " !

An incident occurred in the United States
MsrshaF- Office at San Francisco which is too
good 10 be u,t. Ii ia told OH good authority,
aud j., doubtless, substantially correct
Ii Is well kuoan that there are several small
models 81 ship- in the Marshai's Office, which
have bccn otn nIneht,d with little secession

others ave thu ordinary three striped rags, re-
Gently adopted as the ensisns of the Southern
Slave COntcdcracy. On account of the disp play
OF the-e ills- the only public place in The city,
w., believe, the Marshars office is Il sprt OF
privileged quarters for Secessonis;s, and no.
thing is more common than to hear secession
talk there. This has been particularly the case
since the news of the breaking out OF war has
come ca.
The story goes, that yesterday, while several
gentlemen were sitting in the Marshafs efice,
attending to business, big strapping fellow, all
the way from South Carolina, with a revolver
peeping out from under his coat-tail, strobe
into the place, with the air OF Tarquin, and
exclaimed:
well, at last, thank God! we've got these

taw. That's just what I've been wanting this
many DAY, the higger- thieving psalm sin g.
ing abcIitionists. Wen skin 'em out of their
boots"
The bIaggart had scarcely finished his trade
when one of the gentlemen, Captain -, o
the ship -, who was observed to be getting
nervous, suddenly jumped up, and taking Iii,
place in front of the fellow, and shaking his fists
replied:
NOW, sir, | don't know you, and | dom
want to know you; but suppose you designat.

care for it. You have nsultcd me, SIR and yoy
| shall answer for IT,"
The boaster, seeing the captains determined
bearing, and finding that he was in downright
earnest replied by saying that his remarks wer.
general in their nature and not by any means
intended TO apply to aIy particular person
Nothing was further from his purpose than Il
insult any person present, and particularly
stranger.
| To this the irate captain retorted: "The Ian

and for one will not stand it from any Twin!
