A young man once went with letters Of recon-
mendation to large banking establishment. He
called on the gentleman who wasat the head of it,
full ofhope and confidence that he should obtain
employment. The gentleman heard what he had
to say, looked over his letters hastily, and then
handed them back to him. saying, "We've moth
ing for you to do, sir" The young man felt his
heart sink within him. He was ready to burst
into tears. But there was no help for it, so he
made his bow and retired. As he was passing
in front of the building, there was a pin lying
on the pavement. He stopped down and picked
il up, aud then stuck it carefully under the
bosom of his coat. The gentleman with whom
he had just been speaking was standing at the
window and saw what took place. In an instant
the thought occurred to him that the young man
who had such habits of cArefuness as to stop in
such moment OF disappointment and pick up
pin would make useful business man. He sent
Immediately and called him back. lie gave him
an humble situation in his establishment. From
that be rose by degrees, till he became the prin-
cipal partner in the concern, and eventually
man of immense wealth and the chief banker in
Paris. So much for good, careful habits.

The committee regret that their efforts were
not better appreciated by their fellow citizens,
and the concert patronized to greater extent.
As it is, the committee were compelled to be very
economical in their distribution Of the proceeds.

the many applicants; some Of whom the COM
mittee found entirely without bread or food Of
any kind, and in one or two instances little
children actually crying with hunger The
Committee gave to none without first knowing by
observation their destitution; and can tell their
fellow citizens, had they had ten times the amount
they could have disposed of it, they think, in II
satisfactory manner, and carried joy to many

A CAPITAL RRBuKE.-W When Capt. Ingraham
returned, a few days since, from the command Of
the Richmond steam -sloop in the Mediterranean,
certain Senator, from Louisiana, though, born
and raised in New York city, and late member
Of the Naval Committee of the Senate, said to
him substantially as tollows;-
Sir, why did you not retain your command
and bring your ship into New Orleans, or some
other Southern port when the State seeded !r
To which Capt Ingraham replied. "Sir, you are
mistaken in your man, and in Southern naval
officers, il you suppose they or l, could forget
our oaths of office, and become traitors, or be
guilty of a contemplate theft! When South
Carolina calls for her sons to leave the General
Government, and return to the bosom of the
parent State, she expects them to do so with
honor uutarnished and regulations without the
slightest spot on their escutcheons thieves and
traitors she will never acknowledge.

WAsHlNGroN, March 1l,-An official letter

that he had only fifteen days subsistence md
wood on hand. The question has therefore.
risen with the Administration whether reinforce.

The latter course, it is thought, will be adopted
from inevitable necessity by the advice Of Lieut..
General Scott There is, however, conflict of
opinion among the Republicans on this question.

The widow Rowans was now in the full bloom
Of ornamental sorrow. A very shallow Grape

raven hair to show its glossy smoothness A
jet pin heaVed upon her bosom with every sigh
of memory, or emotion of unknown origin Jet
bracelets shone with every movement of her
slender hands, cased in cross fitting black gloves.
Her sable dress was rigid with manifold founcos,
from beneath which a small foot showed itself
from time to time, clad in the same hue of
mourning. Everything about her was dark ex-
cept the whites of her eyes and the enamel of her
teeth. The effect was complete. Grays Elegy
was not more perfect composition.

For the Standard.
To the Editor Of the Stdndara::
The time has. come when we should ignore all
former party names, differences and distinctions,
and form ourselves in solid column against the com.
mon enemies Of the Constitution, whether they be
dis0rganizers at home. fanatics abroad Every
friend of the Union should let his voice be heard in
opposition to the mad schemes of the secesSion,ss,
whose policy it is to plunge the State into open re-
beon, and destroy the best model Of civil govern
ment which human wisdom has ever devised. And
they propose to do this and "go it blind" without
counting the COST or even looking to the consc.
quences to which their wild Ganaticism leads
IT'S true the South has cause, great cause Of COM
plant against the North for their repeated violations
Of solemn acts Of Congress- and their notification
Of the Constitution. But is immediate secession
the panaceG to cure these injuries? Are we to de
prive ourselves Of all rights give up our inter.
est in the public property, in the army and the
navy, and give up the glorious Onion itsel. until
we have made an effort to have these wrongs re-
dressefg Rather in the language of Gov. Wise,
let US stick to our rights, renounce none, fight for
all, and save all"-fght for them in the Union and
under the Constitution-for "thv Union belongs to
those who hare kept not those who hace broken il
c0renants"
When the sober second thought Of our Northern
brethren comes to BE- heard-when they see as they
must see, the effect oil their unconstitutional aud
unriendly Legislation, they will AM sure, remove
from their statute books every cause of complaint
will consent to have engrafted the Constitution,
in language not hereafter to be mistaken full and
free guarantee of all the rights which the South
ought to require. 80 es v.
