Witty ReprOof.

A witty suggestion is often more effective
in the way of reproof than sharp rebuke.
Mrs. Stove tells good story of an old min
lister, who had been unable to keep some
thievish boys out of his peach orchard. till
he happened to reach their conseiences by
an apt and witty story in the pulpit:
Old Father Morris sometimes used his IL
Illustrative talent to very good purpose in the
way of rebuke. He had on his farm a fine
orchard of peaches, from which some Of
the ten or twelve -year-old gentlemen helped
themselves more literally than even the old
man S kindness thought expedient. AeoeF-
dinghy, he took occasion to introduce into
his sermon on Sunday, in his little parish,
an account or journey he took, and how
he was very warm and very dry, and how
he saw very fine orchard of nice peaches
which made his mouth water even to look
at them.
$50" said he, 81 came to the fence, and
looked around, for l would not have touch
ed one of them agnhout leave for all the
world. At last espied man, and says 1:
Mister, won't you give me some of your
peaches q So the man came and gave me
nigh about hatful. And while stood
there eating, l said, Mister, how do you
manage to keep your peaches 2"
Keep them p said he, and stared at me.
What do you mean p
"'Yes,sir,' said I. DON'T the boys steal
them p
"'Boys steal them = said he. No in
ded !
Why, sir, said I, 4 have whole lot full
of peaches, and | cannot get half of them,
here the old mans voice became very
tremulous because the boys in my parish
steal them So
Why, said he, don't their parents
teach them not to steal p
"And l grew all over in a cold sweat, and
told him that I was afraid they did not.
why, how you talk = says the man.
DO tell me where you live

running down, 81 was obliged to tell him 1

q WANNA to specuIators.

Mr.. McCulloch, the Comptroller of the
currency, writing with full sense of the
meaning which his words must convey to
the country, has publicly impressed those
charged with the Management of National
Banks the necessity of bearing in mind
that, ''altLough the loyal States appear to
be specifically 10 a prosperous condition,
such is not the fact" This is his language:
''Bear constantly IN mind. although the
loyal States APPEAR specifically to be Ia a
prosperous condition., THAT SUCH Is NOT THE
FACT. That while the government is en-
gagged in the suppression of rebellion Of
unexampled ferceness and magnitude, and
is constantly draining the country of its
laboring and producing population, and
digerging itS mecbaRicaI industry from ggOrkS
Of permanent vaZue TO tie construction Of i'm
plements Of agarJare; while cities are crowd
ed and the country is to the same extent
depleted, and ayaste and ertravagance pre-
rail as they never before prevailed az the
United States, THE NATION, WHATEVER MAY
BE THE EXTERNAL INDICATIONS, Is NOT PROS
PERING.
The war in which we are involved is a
stern necessity, and must be prosecuted
for the preservation of the Government, no
matter what may be its cost; bit the country
agiU unquestionably be tile poorer e0e,y dag 1t
is continued. The seeming prosperity of
the loyal States is owing mainly to the large
expenditures of the Government and tile
redundant Currency which these expendi-
lures seem to render necessary.
Keep these facts constantly in mind, and
manage the affairs of your respective bank 5
with the perfect consciousness that TIE ap-
parent prosperity of the country will be
proved to be unreaZ when the war is closed,
if not before; and be prepared, by careful
management of the trust committed to you,
to help save the nation from financial
collapse, instead of lending your influence
to make it more certain and more severe. -

THE FENIAN BRoTHERHOOD.-The Fenian
Brotherhood, whose chiefs have lately held
a convention in this city, is an organization
of Irishmen of secret and military char
acter, whose members are pledged to each
other to strike for the independence of Ire
land whenever an opportunity arises. IL
Ireland the society numbers some 300,000
men and the Government party has already
been seriously alarmed by their midnight
meetings for drill snd conference. In the
United States they are numbered by hun
dreds of thousands, Illinois alone having
forty circles. The late convention contain
ed representatives from all parts of the Uni
ted States, Canadas and ireland. In the
resolutions which they adopted they "sol-
emily declare entire allegiance to the Con-
stitulien of the United States of America. :"
They also urge the younger members of
the brotherhood to study military tactics,
so as to aid ''the United States, by land or
by sea, against England's myrmidons."
Both the deliberations and resolutions were
marked with singular harmony of feeling
and unanimity of purpose, and if opportu-
nifty to secure the independence of Ireland
eyer offers, the Fenian Brotherhood viii rot

The time has arrived for saving the coun-

original secessionists will do it. They said
long time ago that when it was indispen-

could whip ten Yankees. There are at
least ten thousand of them in this State who
have not gone, but who were going when
the time came. If one man can whip ten
YANKEES, ten can whip one hundred, one
hundred one thousand, one thousand ten
thousand, and ten thousand one hundred

will be rolled back from Richmond, and

A western Description of Waiting.

A group of splendid ones is on the floor,
and loving mated-the gents encircle their
partners waists with one arm. The ladies

and curl. Feet and heel of gents go rip
rap, rip rap, rip. Ladies feet go tippity
tip, tippity tip, tip. Then all go ripPity,
clippity, slippity, fippity, skippity ,hoppity,
jun pity, bumpity, thump. Ladies fly off by
centrifugal momentum. Gents pull ladies
hard and close They reel, swing, slide,
look tender, look silly, look dizzy. Feet
fly, tresses fly, hoops fly, caresses fly. all fly.
1t looks tuggity, hugely, pullity, squeezi-
ty, pressity, rubbity, rip.
The men like cross between steelyards
and climber jacks" beetles and jOinted KS.
The maidens tuck down their chins very
low, or raise them exceedingly high. Some
smile, some giggle, some frown, some
sneer, and all sweat freely. The ladies'
faces are brought against those of the men
or into their bosoms, breast against breast,
nose against nose, toes against toes. Now
they are again making sound, like georgy-
porgy, deer-peery, didy- pidy, cOachey-
poachey. "This dance is not much but the
extras are glorious" If men were women,
there would be no such thing as dancing.
But they are only men, and SO the thing
goes on by women's love for it.

The War Problem.

After a lapse of time, some one has been
found competent to set forth the problem
Of the rebel dilemma. We find it in TWEEN
ty propositions. which are based upon the
leading opinions of the North and South,
and brought into phalanx by an enterpris-
ing cotemporary. Each proposition estab-
fishes quandary; and, though the rebel
lion may be powerful fact, it is at least a
logical impossibilty:
l. If they increase their navy they can
not feed it.
g. Unless they increase their army they
are whipped.
8. Unless the press speaks out their lib
critics are gone.
4. If the press speaks out their govern
ment will be gone.
s. Unless they draft the whole popula-
ton they must surrender.
g. If they draft the whole population,
they must starVe.
7. Unless they recover East Tennessee
they can get no saltpeter.
g. If they undertake to recover East
Tennessee they will get more saltpeter than
they want
g. Unless they free the negroes they've
nothing left to fight with.
10. If they free the negroes they've moth
ing to fight for.
II. Ever since the rebellion begun ne
groes have been falling.
10. Nevertheless, their greatest fear now
is, lest the negroes should rise.
IS. Unless Jeff Davis repUdiates his pres
ent debts he can't borrow from anybody.
Il. If he repudiates, nobody will lend
him.
IS. If he impresses food he turns the
land into desert.
I6. Unless he impresses food he turns
his men into deserters.
II. They can't succeed in the war until
they have got the means of building rail
roads.
18. They can't get the means of build
ing railroads.
10 If they fight they lose the day.
90. Unless they fight they lose every day.
