the leaders in any bold and grand political
movement more reason to congratulate them

excrticns and perilS of their manhood were
succ c!ed by peaceful, honored and ripe
old age, in which they witnessed the happy
result of the institutions they had aided in

graves amid the regrets OF the generation,
which was in its cradle when they laid the
foundation OF the republic.

WmsrLlSG.--We believe in whstling. love
to hear it and to do it--a appropriate time,
and places. The boy or man at the plows
who whistles indicates that he is contentcd
and he will plow more than your silent, grum
one, who has no music in his soul or on his
lips. The Albany Times is right when it
says: u 81
:" The man who don't believe in whistIing
should go step farther, and put o muzzle
on the bobolnk and mocking bird. Whist.
ing is decidedly great institution. II oils
the wheels Of care, and supplies the place of
sunshine. The man who whistles has a
good heart under his shirt front. Such a
man not only works more willingly than any
other man but he works more constantly.
A whisng cobbler will earn as much again
more money as cordigester. Mean and av.
arlcous men seldom if ever whistle. The
man who attacks whistling throws a stone
at the head Of hilarity, and would. ifhe had
the power rob June Of its roses and August
of its meadow larks. Such prejudiced
man as that should be looked to- ee.,s

How many thousands, heart-weary and body

waking hours have we longcd for the kindly
pressure, but-only in sleep--to feel it.
Blessed be sleep for then they ''have charge

by tho way who will yet see the lights of
home. But for these reprieves how many

THE GOLD.GAMB I'm NEW
YORK.

The New York Herald is very fierce on
the gold spectators OF Wall street. The
Herald says the demand for gold is almost
wholly fictitious, and observes: "Evcn in
Wall street. the gold is never delivered, and
never wanted. A certificate that so much
gold is deposited in such a place, is trans
fcrrcd from the seller to the buyer, who dis
poses Of it again at an advance, if he can.
If all tho gold purchased in Wall street in
week was cartcd from broker to broker at
the close Of each days sales, all the Grays
in the city would be in rcguisiton. More
than this men sell gold who never really
own dollar of it to men who never truly
possess the specie th:y have bought. A
brokers' promise to deliver so much gold at
such time is salablc, and the broker runs
his chances of being able to buy the gold
before the time appointed, at less price
than that which he sold it. At the date
agreed upon he sometimes produces the GER
tifcate Of deposit for the gold, but, generally
he only pays the difference between the pre-.
MUM rates on the day he sold and the day
he delivers. Consequently, a man who has
few thousand dollars to pay these differ,
ences' can buy and sell millions of dollars
worth of gold. The dealings in gold are
done in paper, therefore--thc paper ofbanks,
and Bankers and brokers. The dealings of
the people are in the paper of the United
States Government, which will endure when

Government is sec Ired by all the national
aud by the integrity and honor of
the country itself. The people are the indor-
sers of the notes of the Government"

THE BALLAD OF BAGsHAw.
Boss Bagshaw was cobbelier, i.
Once Twin at Bulls Head.
Where loug he waxed stout aud fat
As well as his shoe. thread.
And while he sowed not what he reaped,
He ripped what he had sewed;
And almost apostolic care
Fer way-worn soles he showed.
The Boss doctor never was,
Though often he did heel
And kips and calls he did cut up
All for the public veal
While he could neither write nor read.
The shoeless were aware
That for the understandin' he
Did exercise care.
No evil fortune small or great,
Could make his spirits fall
He even sung right merrily
When once he lost his anvil.
And even to his dying day.
Of Bagshaw be 1t told,
He never sold leaky boot,
Though such he oft hslfsoled.
The Boss loyal tradesman was
What hated rebel foes
What frowned upon the "Copperheads'
And scowled at copper toes.
Once he, from too much drink, was in
state of lether.-gy,
When thieves made booty of his shoes,
And with them they did flee.
When he came to- says he !: If
Get once upon their tracks,
For havin' stolen of my stock,
They'll get shoemaker's whacks."
That afternoon one thief he caught,
What quickly came to grief;
For Boss be went from welting shoes
To welting of the thief
The NJ. P.'s got another one
maxim out of town;
And when the thief was taken up
He seemed qnite taken down.
Boss piled his trade for forty years,
Tor somewhere thereabOut
For he, though long peggin' in,
Was longer peggin out.
But Bagshaw couldn't always live;
Like cobblers in the past,
He one day from his last did 60
To come unto his last.
