MARSHAL NEY's DEATH ScENE.-The vengeance
of the Allied Powers demanded some Victims
and the intrepid Ney, who had well nigh put the
crown again on the head of Bonaparte at Wa
terloo, was to be one of them. Condemned TO
be shot, he was led to the Garden of Luxemburg,
on the morning of the 7th of December, and
placed in front of file of soldiers drawn up in
line to kill him. One of the officers stepped
up to bandage his eyes, but he repulsed him,
saying care you ignorant that for twenty
five years have been accustomed to face both
ball and bullet?" He then lifted his hat above
his head, and with the same calm voice that
steadied his columns so frequently in the roar
and tumult of battle said ~ declare before
God and man that never betrayed my country;
may my death render her happy. Pipe la
France" He then turned to the soldiers and
striking his hand on his heart gave the or
der, "Soldiers, fire p Simultaneous discharge
followed, and the "bravest of the brave" sank
to rise no more. ''He who had fought five hun
dred battles for France, not one against her,
was shot as a traitor AS looked on the spot
where he fell l could not but weep over his
fate. True, he broke his oath of allegiance
so did the others, carried away by their attach
ment to Napoleon and the enthusiasm that
hailed his approach TO Paris. Still he was no

UNoERTAM.-T whole nation is more or less
drunken with the intoxication Of paper curren-
cy, yet chsgrined by the poverty Of its substan-
tial results People are uncertain of the pres
ent and uncertain of the future, and uncertainty
begets recklessness. We live in a period of
change when it is more literally true than ever
before in our history that ''there is no knowing
what an hour may bring forth" We are crowd
ing day by day long history into a mere nut
shell, and like the government in its finances,
are pursuing hand to mouth poicywhich only
the decisive events Of the war will mould into
consistent and permanent shape
We are at present, in the aggregate full Of in
with the waves OF opinion and the changes in
the aspect Of the military situation; and the
fluctuations in gold make US all almost as un-
settled as so many ships at sea.
Such state of feeling we need scarcely re-
mark is highly calculated to predispose men to
rush into Wall street and blow hard at the bub-
BILE of speculation. They are buoyed up by Wis
ions of unlimited currency imitation and depreci-
alton in the future, by national debt too vast
for contemplation, if not for computation, and a
general chaos and clean sweep in the end, pre-
paratory to a new beginning. They do not stop
to think or to question themselves as to how
they would fare in the event Of such contin-
gency. They do not debate in their own minds
as to what should be done to make the best of
the vast resources at the nations command
Their patriotism, if they have any, takes no
practical form. Their proverb is, "Every man
for himself and God for us all" Their prime
motive is a field of momentary gain, and their
cry, "After us the deluge." N. Y. Herald.

lst Lieut., Co. H, 39th reg't Wis.

WoRK-We believe in work--good, honest,
hard woodwork with the hands, work with
the head, and both combined. 1t was mans
original destiny, as well that of tire entire
imal creation. And if we can call those opera
tons which are done without CONSCIOUSNESS or
yoliton" work. then the vegetable kingdom is
full of workers.
But man, above all, because he needs most.
Some animals make themselves dwellings, like
men, and wonderfully nice ones; but where is
the animal that makes himself a suit of clothes2
The silkworm No. His cocoon is his house,
or his vest, if you please; but not his coat and
trousers.
Animals gather their food and store it up
for use, with great labor but no animal builds
a fire or cooks it. Animals live on fruit and
grains; but never, in any conscious or voluntary
way, do they plant trees or SOW corn.
The beaver is content to use his teeth for an
axe, and his tail for trowel, and does admira-
BILE work with both; but man makes tools and
machinery.
The squirrel crosses the river on chip, OF
piece of bark, making a sail of his bushy tail
which is very clever of him; but men make ca
noes and steamboats,.
Thus, in clothing, cooking, agriculture, tools,
and navigation, man is superior as worker to
the whole animal creation. And when we come
to brain-work and writing, and artistic opera
tions, there is no sort of comparison.
Dignity of labor Why, what dignity is there
in anything else? Whoever thought of the Dig
nifty of idleness The only use and the only ex-
cuse for play and rest are, that they enable us
to work the better. Rest the pause in which we
gather strength to labor. Recreation is the step
back which enables US to spring forward with
greater force.
1t would be a rash thing to say that work
could not be in excess, because all must have
rest and sleeps but it is quite safe to say that ten
men are killed by bad habits and bad conditions
for one who is cut off by honest work. And
idle men are notoriousy more short lived than
laborious ones. The oldest men we know, and
those who have best preserved their faculties,
have been workers. and some Of them very hard
workers.
And the workers certainly have the most en-
joyment Ask any man who has retired from
business. Idleness eats into the soul, and
makes happiness impossible. Work brings
cheer. Excess of work is like all excess but
there is no better condition Of life than that Of
the wise and temperate worker.

young lady, who loved money, Immediately
asked what property the young had? The
lawyer said he did not know, but he would in
quire. The next time he saw his friend, he
asked if he had any property at all.
"No," replied he

any one to cut off your nose, if he would give
you twenty thousand dollars?"

The National Credit.

Some nine months ago a National
Loan was established by Congress, known
as the Five-Twenty Loan" and five
hundred millions of dollars were author
lied to be sold by the Government We
learn from Philadelphia that on Thurs
day morning, at the opening of business
hours, it was ascertained that but six
millions of the loan remained unsold,
and that during the same day about six
teen millions of dollars of the loan were
sold. This makes the amount sold ten
millions of dollars more than has been
authorized by law, and which it is ex-
peeted Congress will iegalize. This
large sale, it appears, is not due to any
combination of capitalists, but is attribu-
table to public announcement that the
loan was nearly exhausted, which gave
an impetus to subscriptions from all
parts Of the country. At the Office of
Jay, Cooke & Co, the Government.agents,
in Philadelphia nearly a million dollars
were taken, and eight millions were Or

the country.-The orders from the West
