A young man, poor and detected. stood
watching some anglers on the bank of a
stream. At length, approaching basket
well Filed with line fish. he sighed, ':If now
| had these, ! would be happy. | could
sell them at fair price and buy me food
and lodging. "
Il will give you as good fish, said the
owner, who chanced to Overhcar his words
If you vii! do me trifing favor"
And what is that?' asked the other
eagerly.
Only tend this line till | come back;
wish to go on a short errand. -
The proposal was gladly accepted. The
old fisherman was gone SO long that the
young man began to be impatient. Mean
while, however, the hungry fish snapped at
the baited hook and the young man lost
his depression in the excitement of pulling
them in, and when the owner of the line re-
turned, he had caught large number
Counting out from them as many as were
in the lasket and presenting them to the
young man, the old fisherman sald
Il fulfil my promise for the fish you have
caught, to teach you that whenever you
see others earning what you need, to waste
no time in fMitlcss wishes, but cast line

do so, for the reason that no alluSion i.
made TO it in the platform.
SpokeSman-Well,G General, we are sorry:
and as you cannot find in your Platform any
| AUTHORITY to befriend us, we do not think
we can fnd it in our consciences to vote for
you.
Then comes Delegation of mechanics,
small dealers and farmers, who think that
capital inveStes in United States Bonds
should I've required in some way IN help sup
port the State, County and Municipal Gov
ernmcnts and the following conversation
takes place:
Spokesmah-Gencral Cox, large amount
of capital is invested in Government
Bonds. Of course, the nom hulders of
Bonds who are subject of taxation have to
pay that exemption. 1t tcomes off them.
That Is, they have to pay an infinitely
largely amount of taxes than they would
have to pay if that capital were taxed
We hold this to be unjust Our share Of
the public burthens we are willing to bear:
but we feel disinclned to bear the burthens
that Others shonld properly bear. In the
event of your election, General, will you
use the influence that you may have in vir-
tue of that election to do away with this in
equality and injustice?
General Cox-The platform is silent on
this subject, and, therefore, | can make
you no promise.
Spokesman-Then we will bid you good
day, General, and look up some man to vote
for. who will do something toward mitiga-
ting the injustice of which we complain
Lastly comes a Delegation of Negroes,
between the spokesman of which and the
General the following takes place:
Spokesman-Gin raj Cox: You is de
candidate OBJ de Abolition party for Cub
uer, We's bin a despised, down trodden
race. We's now free; but we can't vote;
and widout we kin vote, we's not alleged
der free. Now, spose as how you's lected
Gubner, isyou gwino to be in favor ob given
US our votes. Dis am an all important
question: Gin ral
General Cox--I find in the eight resolu-
ton, il shall be elected Governor, that it
is made my duty to keep 'sterdily in view
the great principles of Government as set
forth in the Declaration Of independence
that is, it will be my duty, and | assure
you it will be my pleasure to recognize you
as the equal, in a political sens3 at least
of White men. In the construction Of the
Platform, care was taken that you' interests
should not be overlooked, and most cer1
taiuiy. as Governor of Ohio they shall not
be overlooked by me-
Spokcsman-Thank you, Gin'ra', for the
kind words you hab spoken. Dcy hab lifted
great load from our minds Good day,
Gin raj.

History of a Drinking Climb

Some Years ago IN large town in the
west of Scotland, there existed drinking
club Of upward twenty members, all Of
whom bee,longed to the urpor classes Of So
ciety. The club had great influence in
municipal affairs, and several Of its menu
bers were elected to I'LL posts in the town
council. -lf tsTg i
The drinking was carried on to fearful ex-
tent, in the tavern where the met. The
members were to be found offend often in
the club at all hours Of the day and night.
Their drinking was often connected with
such noisy mirth as to attract the attention
Of passers by. The club was broken up.
Two of its members were sent to lunatic
asylum; one Jumped from window and
killed himself; one walked or fell into the
water and was drowned. one was found
dead in a public house. upward of ten died
bankrupt; one died of delirium tremens;
four died ere they lived half their days.

FEiSeFscs Of Mathematics.

Under this head the New York Sunday
Times reads folcible homily upon the idea
that all is not gold that glittcrs, and that the
man who has made his pile has not in con-
sequence sowed contuntment among his
days. The Times in illustration gives three
pictures d tliune Of Tealth--in the fol-
lowing sittings:
Look at VIM B. Astor, as he slowly and
with automatic gait moves along Broadway,
glancing neither to the right or the left, and
evidently deeply immersed in mental arith-
matte. Manifcstly he is the oppressed pack
horse Of his own great ai1airs-a being that
might have tripped gaily through the world
with n light heart and thin pair Of breech
es, had he not been pet OF Plutus; but
who, as 1t is stoops under weight OF roll
and bond and mortgage, almost too heavy
for elderly humanity to bear. Unfortunate
financial Atlas, with world of wealth Upon
its shoulders and care and anxiety, sitting
like twin incub, perched upon its top, how
we pity him And yet such is the effect of
hahis in reconciing and even attaching man
to his burdens, that he would be more like
ly to denounce than thank us, should we
philanthropically offer to ease him Of part
Of his. s g a-s
Commodore Vanderbilt seems to have
more back bone than Mr. Astor, and bears
his $40, 900 600 with porter-like pluck. We
say $4,000, 600 because Mr., Parton, bis
biographer, appraised his real and personal
at that sum- We fancy Mr.. p $ figures
little over the marx, but the Comodore is
nevertheless a very solid man, will no doubt
cnt mp handsome. r.
Alex. Il. Stewart, who is, we presume, as
far advanced in the millions as the Conmo-
dore, always appears to Us to be working out
a complicated sum in compound interest as
he walks the street. Although lightning
calculator he is the most undemonstratiye
of men. We are quite sure that making
money to him is sedative and not an cxci-
tant. Are we wemistaken in supporting that
he was merricr and happier years ago as a
clerk, than he now is as the controller Of five
and twenty million dollars? T.

SWEET MEMORIES.
BY I. RUSSELL.
oh, there are memories that throng

Oh, there are memories that throng
So closely round my heart,
That of its hidden, trembling strains
They seem to form part,
They're woven in every dream
That haunt my nightly rest,
And nestle like golden beam
Deep in my troubled breast.
s o, there are memories thar crowd
Aud cluster in my brain,
That bind me gently TO the past,
And make me young again;
The blooming wreath my childhood knew
Ere change had CONS or blight,
When each fair bud was wet with dew,
Each blossom crowned with light.
Sweet memories, ye gentle now ..
Are whispering to my heart,
feel your light upon my brow,
In tears of rapture starts;
Ye tell me of the sun lit hours,
That flew so gaily on,
Mid singing birds and fragrant flowers,
That bloomed without thorn.
Ye tell me of the yo1ng-the fair,
Who fitted around my path;
! twine amid their clustering hair
A bright and glorious wreath:
listen to the warbled notes
That tremble SOn the tongue,
Till through my soul that music flows
Like strains by angels sung.
o, stay then, gentle memories,
Within my heart of hearts @
And softly hush its heaving sigh,
And dry the tear THAI starts.
o, hold, We gentle memories,
Your empire in my breast,
IT'LL death shall my weary eyes,
And take me to its rest

THE EMrGRATIoN OF REBEL SOLDIERS TO

the N. Y. Herald writes as follows:
~ am satisfied, after a careful and some
what extended inquiry, that the oft repeat
ed statement that organized bands of rebel
soldiers under some General officer or Off
GERS of prominence in the rebel service, have
crossed the Rio Grande with the intention
OF offering their services to the Imperial
Government is not correct. No such bands
have crossed the river and if any nalmber
of the late rebel soldiers have done so, it has
been without organization, and only for fear,
OF punishment for outrages committed dl-'
