An Argument against Economy in time
of War.

Why money should be put In ciirculatiop
-Rev 7. j. Thayer, of Boston, in a SER
mon delivered last Sunday, made the fol-
lowing timely suggestions:
The state Of the times demand lberality
and generous expenditure on the part of
those who have the means, whose income
is greater than their wants. Such as these
should not study economy, should not aim
to save as much and spend as little as pos
sible. | hear many Of this class talking OF
retrenchment, OF reducing their expenses,
Of denying themselves and families this
and that to which they have been accus-
toned
L say no. This is a mistaken policy
Why should you save? You are in no
danger of suffering. Why should you not
spend this, you who have more than enough,
while thousands around you are wanting en-
ployment and bread, and have nothing
What is to come of this class if every rich
man, every family whose income exceeds
by much or little their current expenses,
begins economising and diminishing ex-
penditures to the lowest point possible
What is to become of these people without
work or money? They must live. They
must have bread Give them employment
and they will earn it. Ifyou don't they
must still have bread, that is certain, and
somebody must furnish it

"-who live 10 get away,
Return to steal another day.

In the early times of New England, il
was customary, in some towns, to require
each inhabitant to kin certain number of
these birds yearly, fine being imposed up
on such as did not destroy and exhibit the
requisite number.
When the young ears are in milky
state, they are attacked with redoubled ca
gerness by the grakles and red-wings. They
descend on the corn Ike blackening and
sweeping tempest, dig off the external COW
ering of the leaves, and having laid bare
the ear, leave little behind for the farmer
but the cobs and shrivelled skins. Whole
acres of corn have been thus more than
half ruined During these depredations,
the gun makes great havoc among them,
which has no other effect than to send the
survivors to another field This system of
plunder and retaliation continues till No
Vember, when they sheer off towards the
south, where they collect and darken the
air with their numbers, which sometimes

NATURAL HISTORY,
The Orchard Oriole.

This bird has been described under va
riety Of names; as the spurious oriole, bas-
tard oriole. 1t is a distinct species from
the preceding, and differs from it in size,
being less and more slender in its cOlors,
which are different in the form of its bill
and tail in its notes, which are neither so
full nor so mellow, and uttered with much
more rapidity; in its mode OF building, and
the materials which it uses; and, lastly, in
the shape and color Of the eggs Many
mistakes have been occasioued by the
change Of color which these birds undergo,
as they do not receive their fail and perfect
plumage till the fourth year. The young
birds are easily raised from the nest, and
soon become agreeable domestics. One
which was reared and kept through the
winter, whistled with great clcarness and
vivaci'y at two months Old 1t had an odd
manner Of moving liz head and neck slow
ly, regularly, aud in various directions,
when intent ou 0! serving anything, with
out stirring its body. This motion was il.
slow as that of snake. When, at night
a candle was placed near lis cage. it seemed
extremely well pleased, fed and drank
dressed, shook aud arranged its plumagc
sat as close to the light as possible, and
sometimes chantsl few irregular notes, as
tho gentleman sat reading or writing beside
it.

Reader, have you ever stood on the heel
path side of the Penna. Canal, on one of
those mild January evenings peculiar to
the early autumn, and watched the sun rise
from his gorgeous couch athwart the west

of the distant coal beavers, mingled with
cries Of a ragged canal driver encouraging
pair of attenuated calico mules Of

we wonder that the young man swore that
he would cheerfully catch the measels for
her sake and expressed willingness to
have the scarlet fever the second time to
prove his devotion
Alas the perversity Of women. Al
though loving him deyotedly, she replied to
his ardent declaration by sitting down on

4 Child Kuled by JVhiskey.-The Hamilton
Times relates that child named DAILY, only
three years of age, died at the house Of its
guardians, on West avenue, few days since,
from the effects of whiskey. 1t appears that
a couple of children got bottle of whiskey
and drank some out of it. The deceased was
stupefed by the liquor, and fell into deep
sleep, from which it was awakened with diff
fculty. Medical aid was called in, but the
poison had done its work, and the child soon
died.

his love for the briny deep which induced

resolve he sought his boarding house, put

whose voice was deeply bronzed by expos

at the top mizen gangway, and informed
him that the captain was engaged in the
cabin. He was being presented with a
bosom pin and gold headed Cane by a
ferryman who was about to retire from Of
fee. The presentation was wholly unex-
pected.
After a considerable delay Caleb was in
vitcd to descend. When he entered the
cabin he was struck with the youthful and
delicate appearance of the captain. He
was about to tell him he had come to ship
before the-well, smokestack, when the
supposed captain raised his cap, and a

General Bishop Polk.-The Episcopal pa
pers are very severe upon Bishop Polk, of
Louisiana, for doffng his ecclesiastical robes
and donning the helmet of war, lie is now
in actual command, having superseded Gen.
Pillow. The Recorder thus speaks on tho
subject:
"The Rt. Rev. Leonidas Polk, d. D., it is
announced in the Richmond papers, has ac-
cepted the appointment of Brigadier General
in the Confederate army, and is to take charge
of the Red River District There can be no
greater proof Of the wildness Of the delirium
10y which the Southern States are infected,
than that a prclate of the piety. the strict
fidelity to duty, and the noble integrity of
Bishop Polk, should desert his diocese, and
postpone the solemn duties prescribed by his
conservation, 10 assume an Office which will
place him in the ranks Of those military bish-
ops whom history has ever covered with Pc
culiar obloquy, and who have been among the
chief scandals of the Church"
