customers away, who would soon be
charged as usual but at the end Of six
weeks he found Billy working away,
charging not cent for his labor and hav.

came to the conclusion that he must have
stumbled on a gold mine, so he closed his
shop in despair and left the place.
Meantime Bill Harrington kept on bu-

his chair he asked to see the score for the
six mouths past The barber exhibited
it and after careful calculation, the old
man said
"Plenty of customers, oh z"
"Lots OF EN-" said the barber; "nersr
did such business in my life !"
"Well," replied Money Bags, "you
have kept the account we'll | see I've
paid you one hundred aud twenty dollars
for services, all right, and there are three
hundred and thirty charged for shaving
all that applied now this furniture cost
one hundred and eight dollars, balance
due you, one hundred and two dollars
Here it is. Now YOU own this furniture,
and YOU are TO have this shop rent free
six months longer, and after o.day you
are to charge the regular price for work,
for your pay from me stops to-day"
This course the barber gladly asseu,ed
to.
"Bill," said the old nan on leaving,
"take care you never cheat man BY
charging ten times the usual price for
shave; fer it may be another Billy Glib

This proposition somewhat startled the
unfortunate hair r-dressor, who finally found
words to stammer cut, that perhaps,
twelve or fifteen dollars a month woald
be about enough.
"Pshaw.' said the old man, "that
won't do-now listen TO me-Tll give

the table before the astonshed barber
who it is almost unnecessary to state &C.
cepted the proposition. and who was still
more surprised to learn it was Billy Glib
bons himself who had hired him.
In q few days the Inhabitants of that
village were astonished by the appearance
of splendid new barber shop. Over the
door was inscribed:

He's worthy OF his name,
He's worthy of his race;
As teacher of the Gospel pure,
Ees worthy Of his place.
He's loyal to his Cod,
He's loyal. TOO, TO man;
Among his country's loyal hosts
A leader of the van
OF tyranny and wrong
He'd promptly spurn the sway
But for the right and true
He'd fight as well as pray:
A government Of law,
And OF the peoples choice,
lie always has upheld
With heart, and soul, and voice.
0, had his kinsman heard
His words of truthful tone,
a traitors deep disgrace
His name had never known.
But so the Gospel reads:
We oft encounter those,
Our very nearest kin,
Among our direSt foes
With honled words of peace,
The traitor paved his way,
And mars hald his deluded friends
Into the murdrous fray.
And with the mischief done.
Sleeps clothiu@'s cast aside:
A wolf he seems, as wolf he is,
And sneaks away to hide.
This neutral friend of peace
Is a sworn rebel now;
And fiAunts his treason in the light
Upon his brazen brow
Truth Is Ithuricls spear!
It's keen and pointed goad
Shows TO the world so clear.
The Devil in the toad
Not 90 his uncle brave!
With heart so large so leal,
He battles for his country's cause
With courage true as steel
Q, Brccknriige, the false,
And Brecknridgc, the true.
Were ever two of kindred blood
So much unlike as you?

Just that it be done at a common charger ant
if, with less money or money more easily paid
we can preserve the benefits Of tn Union, by
this means than we can by the war alone, il
it not economical to do it? The proposed
emancipation would shorten this war, perpet
uate peace, insure the increase in population
and proportionably the wealth of the country
The President then says the plan consisting
of these articles is recommended, not but that
restoration of the national authority would
be accepted without its adoption, nor will the
war or the proceedings under the proclama-
ton of September 22d be stayed because OF
the recommendations of this plan. Its time
| ly adoption, doubt not, would bring restora.
ton, and thereby stay both;. and nothwith-
standing this plan, the recommendation that
Congress provide by law for compromising
any State which may adopt the emancipation
before this plan shall have been acted upon
is hereby earnestly renewed.
This plan is hereby recommended as a
means not in conclusion of but additional to
all others for restoring and preserving the
National authority throughout the Union
The subject is presented exclusively in its
economical aspect The plan is proposed as
a permanent constitutional law.
PACIFIC RAILROAD AND ILL. sHIP-CANAL.
He suggests the earliest completion of the
Pacific Railroad; also a favorable action by
Congress on the projects for charging the
great canals in New York, Illinois and Mich
igan.
COMPENSATED EMANCIPATION.
, The President refers to his compensated
emancipation proclamation of Sept 22d, and
says: That portion of the earth occupied by
the people of the United States is well adapt
ed to be the home of one National family, but
not for two or more. In my inaugural address
| briefly pointed out the total inadequacy of
disunion as remedy for the differences be-
tween the people of the two sections. | did
so in language which cannot improve
Physically speaking, we cannot separate--we
cannot remove our respective sections from
each other, or build an impossible wall be-
tween them.
In conclusion, the President says: The
dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to
the stormy present. The occasion is piled
high with difficulties. We must rise with the
occasion. The fiery trial through which we
are passing will light us down with honor or
dishonor to the latest generation.
We say that we are for the Union. The
world willnot forget that while we say that
we do know how.to save the Union. In giving
freedom to the slaves, we insure freedom to
the free and honorable alike. In what we
give and what we receive, we shall feebly
save, or meanly lose the last best hope of the
earth. Other means may succeed-this could
not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, gener
Gus just the way, which If followed, the
world will forever applaud and God must for
ever bless.

BADLY WANTED. "A bridge over Cedar
river is want felt by all classes merchants
and farmers alike. There is large district
of country on the other side Of the Cedar to
the productions of which Muscatine is the
natural market and outlet. Nearly half of our
trade comes from the Cedar valley-one Of
the richest sections of country in the West.
This trade is of incalculable value, and the
loss of it would be seriously felt by our city.
There is not, to our knowledge, single
bridge across Cedar river. This should not
be. The immense amount of country beyond
this stream, tributary to this city, should
have at least one bridge, by which farmers
might bring their produce to market without
interruption. At this season of the year,
when the ice is running, it is an utter impos.
sibility to get across. Muscatine thus loses
for time, at least, a large amount of trade
which she would otherwise receive.
This is not, perhaps, the most important
consideration. In the summer, when thu
river is in its ordinary stage of water, it can
not be forded, and farmers are thus obliged t
pay ferriage, which is no inconsiderable item
in times like the present, when produce rule
low. If bridge was built across the Ceda
now, next summer should see an increase t.
our trade such as would astonish the "oldes
| inh. abitant."
We hope to see this matter, which ha
been broached before, agitated more earnestl.
and perseveringly than ever, and thata NOV
win be made before the Board Of Supervisors
at their next meeting, in January, to have
bridge erected soon. b. all means, let U
have bridge across Cedari ss Asa sass. .
