LESSONS OF An AUCTIOSEER's HANNER.--The
hammer of an auctioneer tells many sadEtory
of ruined fortunes, blasted hopes, and of death,
that scatters the much cherished and hard earn
ed property to the four winds. Each tap of the
ivory ball consigns some treasured memento, to
which affection has clung for many long years,
into the hands Of a stranger, to whom it comes
divested of its charms and the hold it had upon
the human heart-a mere object of curiosity,
perhaps, to its new possessor, or it may be to
crafty passion for display. The venerable
mansion, that has witnessed the loves and hopes,
the joys and sorrows of more than one genera
ton, passes under the hammer of the auctioneer
to entire strangers-mere bargain hunters and
speculators perhaps-to whom no room, or
chambers, or fireplace is crowded with assoeia-
tions of happy childhood, youth, manhood, old
age-sckness, birth, marriage, death. The
new owner sees only timber, bricks, and mortar,
and forthwith commences the work Of demoli-
ton, or of alteration and repair. The auction
eer's books, too, tell a sad story of ruinous spec
ulatiou bankruptcy in trade, unfortunate in
vestments, ships cast away, splendid misery,
fraud, misfortune and death.

GETTING UP MONEY PANIc.-In Nay, 1882,
run upon the Bank of England was produced by
the walls of London being placarded with the
emphatic words Stop the Duke! Go for
gold advice which was followed as soon as
given, to a prodigious extent. The Duke of
Wellington was then very unpopular and on
Monday, the l4th of May, 1t being currently be-
lieved that the Duke had formed a cabinet, the
panic became universal, and the run upon the
Bank of England for coin was so incessant,
that in few hours upward of half million was
carried off. 1t was afterward ascertained that
the placards in question were the device of four
gentleman, two of whom had been elected mem
bers Of the Reformed Parliament. Each put
down one hundred dollars, and the sum thus
dubbed was expended in printing thousands Of
those terrible missives, which were eagerly cir
culated, and were speedily seen upon every wall
in London. The effect is hardly to be described.
1t was electric.

A traveller at the South writes as follows :
mThere will be an immense sale of real estate
throughout the Southern States during the
current decade Every day L meet planters
aud other property owners who are PROPOSING
to dispose Of part or whole of their real es7
tate, their reasons being as various as the in
donations Of a mocking- bird. Some are going
to Brazil, someto the north, some to the west,
some to Mexico, and many leaving the couu-
try to engage in other pursuits iptOEps and
cities. The planter who worked for score Of
years his large cotton farm, with q hundred
Slaves, IS wholly shipwreeked in an Industrial
manner, and cannot conceive how to 90 tc
work"

WEALTHY MEN OF CINCINNATI.-There
is a man doing business on Main street, Gin
cinuati, who was refused credit in 1850 for
a stove worth twelve dollars He is now a
director in one of the banks, and is worth
Sl50,000, every cent of which has been made
in Cincinnati during that period There is
another business man on the same street, who
was refused credit in 1880, by firm in the
drug line for the amount of FIVE dollars; eight
years after, the same firm lent that very man
five thousand dollars upon his endorsed note.
An extensive dealer il Cincinnati, now
worth 500, 900, and who, it is said, can
command more money on short notice for
sixty, ninety, or one hundred aud twenty
DAYS, than almost any man 10 Cincinnati,
went to a grocery store in 1880 to purchase
a hogshead of sugar, it was sold to him with
many misgivings as to getting the pay when
it became due. A man whose credit IN
1850 was such that when trusted with keg
of saltpetre, the employer remarked that 1t
might as well have been rolled into the
Ohio, was worthin 1851, 100000, again
bankrupt in 1860, and now worth S2O, ,OOO.
A man now good for $780, was ten years
ago exhibiting a monkey IN the streets oi
the city, for living. Another heavy busi-
ness man, bank director, sold apples ~ a,
basket when a boy, through the streets; ,One
of the first merchants in the place, in lS4S,
and who could at that time have bought en-

WAR.-War suspends the rules of moral
obligation, and what is long suspended is in
danger of being totally abrogated. Civil
wars strike deepest of all into the manners
of the people They vitiate their politics /;
they corrupt their morals; they pervert even
the natural taste and relish Of equity and
Justice. By teaching us to consider our fell
lo& citizens in a. hostile light, tho whole
body Of our nation becomes gradually less
dear to US. The very names of affection aud
kindred, which were the bonds of charity
whilst we agreed, become new incentives to
hatred and rage, when the communion OF
our country is dissolved

LOTTERIES INDICATED BY SoRIPTURE.- The
early advocates of lotteries, when their trade
was threatened with legal demolishment, were
accustomed to defend it somewhat ingeniously
by quotations from Scripture. As the Bible
was turned upside and down, and shaken and
winnowed, by the supporters of the slave trade,
so was It scrutinized to prove the antiquity and
sanctity of lotteries. BY lot" it was said,
it was determined which of the goats should
be offered to Aaron. By lot the land Of Canaan
was divided. By lot Saul was marked out for
the kingdom. By lot Jonah was discovered to
be the cause of the storm. BY lot IL was de-
cided to whom Chrsts vesture should belong,
instead of reuding it. By lot the place left va
cant by the tteachery of Judas was filled by the
APOSTLES" &C., &c.
