"Sec the Other Side,o

Have YOU ever though of what a world
cf advice is contained in these few words
How much pain and injustice, how much
unnecessary unhappiness might be aroid,
cd by attention to their meaning. Rec
oIlect the story of the two Knights who,
approaching each other on opposite sides
of FURNISHED shield supported on a coll
umn at a road-crossing, exclaim in the
same-breath. the one ON the beauty of this
golden shield, the other on the excellent
workmanship of this si2cer shield. This
slight difference led 20 warm argument,
ending, as the story goes, in their placing
each others ''hors du combat" \ good
Samaritan passing by restored each to con :
ciousness. and leading them around the
innocent occasion of their combat, showed
them that it faced gold one way and silver
the other, and sent them on their way
with very favorable impression of the
beauty of '.See the other 81 .e.'
But to ne these words say more, and |
imagine they may be remembered with
advantage in 4 variety Of circumstances
Briefly let me tell you some of the lessons
When you are sorely tempted when sin
presents her iairest face to lead you from
your path, hesitate, halt, and wait till you
can calmly contemplate "the other side" ;"
Never, when you hear one propose a
work TO be accomplished, tell him that is
impossible - check the word on your lips
That which is to-day looked upon as I'M
possible will tomorrow be accomplished
Yea, though tlcenty attempts have failed,
discourage not another, but recollect there
may be still another point Of view-still
another side, sctich, being seen, the thing
is done,
And one step farther: Are You in
trouble. Are you poor: Do you find it
hard work to get along, young man p
Do you "earn your bread by the sweat of
your brow ?" These may not be .stor-
tunes. Trouble may serve TO moderate
your over-cstimation of worldly good, may
turn you from "thc things which are seen"
to the contemplation of "the things which
are not seen," 1.-The things which are eter
nal" and the baptism of trial work out
your salvation And why complain Of
poverty? Study the lives of those who
stand out in bold relief for the good they
have done the world. How many of them
have owed their cminence to the necessity
which compelled them in their youth to
battle with the world and carve path
for themselves through al obstacles. No.
don't complain but rather turn to ac>
count even the mountains in your path.
and, you may rely upon it, if you do. your
best, you will say,H was rel rs 1t nos.
when years have rolled on and you have
at length reached point from which you
can look back and "scc tic other side"

G. aM.EIing i'm San Francis 90.

This accursed vice is carried Oh to a
fearful extent in this city. and is produ>
chg its legitimate results Recently a
young man named Thomas G.. Loehr, a
clerk in the state prison at San Quentin
enmcshcd in the tolls of the gamblers of
San Francisco. San Quentin being only
twenty miles from this city, and steam
boat plying between the two places, Loehl
was enabled to come down here frequent
ly. He was gay and fast, and made fire.
qucnt visits to the ''tiger's" lair He be-
came SO infatuated with the fascinating
saort that he lost all the money he had
To ''gct cven," as he called it, he appro-
pria;ed money which was placed in his
keeping by parties at the prison, and
gambed that off, vainly hoping to win
back his other losses. lie finally became
so deeply involved that his villainy was
discovered lie fed from San Quentin
and left behind him letter expressing
great penitcnce for his misdceds, and
avowing his intention to commit suicide
1t WAS discovered, however, that he did not
kill himself, but that he was hid in this
city The detectives got on his track, and
speedily found him. He is now in jail
awaiting trial. Only a few weeks bett re
his case came to light similar one oc-
oxrrld. The culprit, however, was lei
off, and Il, left he country. Every time
the grand jury OF TINS city meets. indict-
mcnts are found against some OF tic gam
blers; they are fined $500, and are set
free. In a stones throw of our City Hall
four gambling hells are in full blast every
night, surrounded by absorbed and eager
players, OF course the greatest secrecy
has to be observed by the gamblers, and
all sorts of doors, and passages, and wind
ing ways have to tc gone through before
one can enter the tigers" presence
The most fashionable gambling house here
is fitted up like palace on the inside
1t is furnished with the rarest and richest
carpets and most costly furniture, and its
proprictors give magnificent dinners
every day to the gentlemen who con
gregatc there. The side tables are loadcC
with the choicest liquors the best wine.
in the city are to be found there, and the
most fragrant Havana cigars are furnished
free to the player. Is it any wonder that
when a young man once enters the charm
ed precincts of these luxurious gambling
hells, he is led on by degrees to his ruin
The police are working hard to break u,
these vile dcns, but they find it hercu
lean task, for the most respectable ci,i
zcns" patronize them, and the officers ar
baflled at every step.

Rather keen and suggestive was a
repartee made the other evening by lit

Capt. Halls Archie Expedition,

Henry Griunell Esq, has received a
very important and interesting letter from
Capt. c. +. Hall, the Arctic explorer,
which announces that he has learned such
facts in his present expedition as to lead to
the belief that there are yet surviving
three men Of Sir John Frankln's expcdi-
ton. Crosier, who succeeded Franklin ia
command Of the expedition. and three 9th
ers, have been seen-Crosier reduced to a
skeleton, and being starved to death,
while his three men were fat, they having
lived on human Hesh-thc flesh of their
companions, who all deserted the two ships
that were fast in mountains Of ice, while
CroSier would not eat human flesh
The man finding the party at once took
them in charge, and, catching seal, fed
Crosier sparingly, day by day, until his
life was saved. He thus cared for the
men through the whole winter, during
which one of the men died
Crosier and the two remaining men
were then taken to Neitschllle, on Bonthia
Felix peninsula, where there were many
Innuits, having guns and plenty ofammu-
milton. They were enabled to shoot plen-
ty of ducks, nowers. &c. The Innuits
treated them very kindly. At length they
started for the Kob Aunas country, since
which thcy have not been seen. All this
was previous to 1851, but the Innuits in
sist that Crosicr and his friends are nc;

Horrible Lamp Explosion.

Last Thursday night the wife of An
drew Marsh, living some ) or 6 miles
south of this city, was attending sick
neighbor. About 3 o'clock Wednesday
morning she attempted to fill lamp with
kerosene while it was yet burning, when
it came in contact with the fame and ex-
plodcd, covering her with the burning
fluid She ran out the door screaming,
and those who were watching with her
followed her out, and threw a barrel of
rain water, which was standing by the
door, on her, and subdued the fame
She then started for home, about half
mile distant, running and uttcring the
most fearful cries. Her husband heard
her and met her at the boor, and took her
in hi, arms to carry her to the house.
when his fingers penetrated her hesh to
the bore, so dreadfully was she burnd'-

From the Ohio Statesman

From the Ohio Statesman.
NEssRs. EpIroRs.-The Bondholders
held grand jubilee at Aristocracy Hall,
in this city, on the 18th inst, at which
Hon. Grecnhack Millionaire presided as
President, and Mr. Wholesale Defalcation
acted as Secretary
The toast--"Ihe American Bondhold-
ers-- the only true representatives ofEuro-
pean Civilization in America" the Hon.
Mammoth Bondholder responded as fol
lows:
FELLOW BONDHoLDERs:-We are
power in this Government We own thir-
ty hundred million dollars in bonds and
grecnbacks: 1t will take over one fifth Of
all the property of every description in
the United States to pay us these debts
We own one horse in every five; one COW in
every five; one sheep in every FIVE; one
acre Of land in every five, one fifth of eve
ry homestead in the United States and TO
secure the pay mcnt of these, we hold Il
Of property III the United States Cheers.
More than this. Brother Bondholdcrs:
That vast wealth goes scot free of taxation
We ride over the public roads and we pay
no road tax We send our children to the
public schools, and we pay 70 school tax
We are protected in our persons and
property by the State, county, township
and COZ poration officers. and yet we are
unto u.hed by taxation for their support.
Yet Gods, can the nobility of Europe
boa-. of more? Prolonged cheering
and cries Cf go on.
Pr ,ihcr Bondhclders. we DO not work
neither do We sweat, yet We have millions
who toll and moisten the sol with their
daily sweat to pay the interest on cur
b ,nds We have them in our power
Last week invested SlO0, 900 in bonds,
anu thereby took that amount of the du>
plicate for taxation, and loadc,a. the taxes
/ Of that amount on the broad shoulG,s.s IT
our noble farmers, mechanics and return,
ed soldiers. BY rising one hour earlier
aud working one hour later they easily
pay their taxes, our taxes and our prince
ly income OH our untaxed bonds besides. -
Nocferous applause
! The invalid soldiers aud the soldiers
widows have the impudence 10 complain
that S96 year is not sufficient to feed,
clotbe, shelter and educate six helpless
children, whose fathers bones are bleach
ing on the country's battle field; and that
if the bonds We're taxed, the pledges made
to the soldier when he left his home that
if lie fell, his family would be reared and
educated, coul | be fulfilled.
Brother Bondholders list ten to no such
entreaties. The Government had the
right to draft the life of the poor man
but it had not the right to scixe The
proHtrty of the rich man Property is
worth more than life. We stand on the
terms Of the contract forced out of tn,
Government in its necessities by our power
and patriotism. We now demand the
pound of hcsh,' aud the blood with it, il
it ensaves them all.
Here the meeting was disturbed by
some Boys in Blue" who were standing
BY the window by me, and who declared
they didn't want their wages for the last
four years taxc1 out of them again to pay

why France went TO WAR with
Mexico.

TIE JECKER CLAIMs.-Thesc were the
claims against the Mexican republic which
were used as a pretext for French occu-
patton. and the establishment of MaXamil-
ian's shaky empire. They are thus de-
scribed by an English writer: The Mex
lean President, Miramon, few months
before his fall, obtained a loan from Mr..
Jccker banker of Mexico, and Swiss
by birth, OF zoe, 700 dollars, partly in
moEey and partly in deprecated paper,
for which, as head Of the provincial gov-
ernment, he engaged to repay -jecker the
enormous sum of SIi.G00,000. After
the accession Of president Juarez, the
Swiss banker came f'rward to claim
his Sl4 10000 to which Juarez natural
ly enough replied No; you have play
ed a game and lost your stake; and you
cannot expect us to give you such great
profits on money that was lent to our po-
litical ad,crsaries to keep us out of pow
