DelinQuents,

How many moving appeal is di- rected to them. A Western editor gets off about as good a one as is found, which we copy for the benefit of those who may chance to have blanks after their names on our subscription books :
 '.Hear us for our debts, and get ready that you may pay; trust us, we have need, as you have long been trusted 1; acknowledge your indebtedness, and dive into your pocket that you may promptly ferk over. If there be any among you-one single patron--that don't owe us something, then to him we say step aside, you are gentleman, If the rest want to know why we dun them, this is our answer: Not that we care about ourselves, but because our creditors do. Would you rather that we went to jail, and you go free, than you pay your debts and keep us nov ing? As we agreed, we have worked for you: as we contracted, we have furnished the paper to you, but if you don't pay we dun you. Here are agreements for job work contracts for subscriptions; promises for long credit, and duns for deferred payment. Who is there so green that he don't ad- vertise? If any, let him slide, he ain't the chap either. Who is there so mean that lie don't pay the printers? lfany, let him speak, for he's the man we're after HetiaflatsE 7 af

History of the Confederate Navy.

One of the editors of this paperis en- deavoring to collect material for work under the above title, and has already made some progress in that direction. He requests all late officers of that branch of the Confederate service, and others connected with it, as well as off, cers of the U. $. navy, to send to. the Mobile Tribune office whatever infor- nation they may possess on the subject
 The service performed by the late Confederate navy was small compared with that dsne by our glorious army ; but when we consider that the number of men employed in the navy did not exceed that of full brigade of the ar my and that the sailor can do nothing without the aid of the shipwright, we shall see that the deeds of our little navy are worthy of being put on re- cord--worth the nation that rallied FEN MAssE to the standards of Lee, John son and Beauregard. By this brigade of Southern seamen we saw accom- plished the battles by the Merrimac, the Albemarle and the Tennessee; the cruises of the Alabama, the Florida, the Georgia, the Shenandoah, etc., and the daring expeditions of Wood, Pelot and '.Taconey" Read. The writer of this wishes to embody the history of the whole in brief and simple narra- tive.
 Our editorial friends will confer fa- vor on us by copying this in whole or in part Mobile Tribune.

Two famous detectives once started on the scent of notorious burglar, and nabbing- their man, captured with him an immense amount of plunder. q say, Sam, old fellow," suggested one of them, as he gloatingly gazed upon the glittering pile before him, '1et's turn bourglar, you see what good thing can be made of the business" " "No, Bill," replied his companion, honesty was the best policy, and I'll stick to it." Bill turned burglar got rich, and was hanged Sam kept in the old, beaten track of honesty, had "the smile of the gods" upon him, prospered in all his worldly affairs, and finally saw Jack Ketch shuttle off Bills mortal coil.

LET EVERY MAN READ THIs.-We have probably all of us met with in- stances in which a word heedlessly spoken against the reputation of a woman, has been magnified by mali cious minds until the cloud has become dark enough to overshadow her whole existence. To those who are accus- toned, not necessarily from bad mo- tives, but from thoughtlcssness to speak light of females, we recommend these hints as worthy of consideration :: "Never use lady's name in an inn proper place, at an improper time, or in mixed company. Never make as- sertions about her you think untrue, or allusions that you feel she herself would blush to hear" Many 2 good and worthy woman's character has been forever ruined and heart broken by a lie, manufactured by villain, and repeated where it should not have been, and in the presence of those whose little judgment could not deter them from circulating the foul and tendish report. Respect the name of a woman, for your mother and sisters were women; and as you would have their fair name untarnished, and their lives unembittercd by slanderers' bit ing tongues, heed the i'll your own words may bring upon the mother the sister, or the wife of some fellow creature.

VIRTUE.

The sturdy rock, for all his strength,
 By raging seas is rent in twain; The marble stone is pierced at length
 With little drops of drizzling rain; The OK doth yield unto the yoke; The steel obeyeth the hammer stroke. Yea, man himself, unto whose will , All things are bounden to obey, For all his wit, and worthy skill,
 Doth fade at length and fall away. There is no thing but time doth waste; The heavens, the earth, consume at last. But Virtue sits, triumphing still.
 Upon the throne of glorious Fame; Though spite in Death mans body kill,
 Yet hurts he not his yirtuous name; By life or death, whatso betides, The state of Virtue never slides.

A Case of Conscience.

In certain "Ladies' Moral Reform Society,"" existing not many miles from the bank of certain river, the mem- bers were required to sign pledge not to ''set up" as it is termed, or do any thing else that might be supposed to have tendency however remote, to immortality. One evening as the Presi- dent was calling over the names, to know whether each member had kept her obligation, beautiful and highly respectable young lady burst into tears, and on being questioned as to the cause, said she feared she had broken her pledge. "Why, what have you done ?" asked the President.
 "Oh!p sobbed the young lady, ''Dr.

 'Oh, well that is nothing very bad, :" said the President; HIS kissing does not make it that YOU have broken the pledge"
 "Ohl that isn't the worst of it,N ex- claimed the conscientious young lady, ''l KISSED HIM BACK AGAIN"

Swiss Bridal Custom,

I learned yesterday bridal custom of this region, so sensible and proper, that shall mention it to you for the benefit of the young folks at home. The custom of making gifts to the bride, prevails here as everywhere, but it is better regulated. The bride makes out written list of things that she will require in beginning to keep house, especially those things that are over and above what would naturally be furnished by her friends, and one of them says, q will give her this," and marks that as provided for; anoth- CT will give her that, and sometimes two or three or more will combine and furnish more expensive present. than any one would give alone.a After the wedding, the couple usually start off on an excursion, and on their return they find their dwelling filled with these presents, each marked with the giver's name. At the hotel where l lodged in St. Gallen, bridal party of the town had the wedding breakfast, when l was there all the relatives and friends making a larger party than a private house could contain.

This servant, who was a native of Africa, could never be taught to hand things te t h fit of If ttffe gt1cstS Ut tHbfC Nt length his master thought of plan which he imagined would be infallible :; and, as the coats were then worn in Charleston single-breasted, in tho pres ent Quaker fashion, he told him al- ways to hand the plate to the button hole side. Unfortunately, however for the poor fellow, on the day after he had received this Ingenious lesson, there was among the guests at dinner a foreign gentleman, with double- breasted coat, and he was for awhile completely at a stand. He looked first at one side of the gentleman's coat, then at the other, and finally, quite confounded at the outlandish make of the strangers garment, he cast de- spairing look at his master, and ex- claiming in a loud voice, Buttons on both sides, masssa," handed the plate right over the gentleman's head.

THE LEAVES ARE FALLING.--W hat q melancholy spectacle the falling leaves present! The trees are almost diyested of the scar and yellow leaf, and what few remain are falling fast. One by one they are going--scatterod hither and thither, driven in every direction at the mercy of the chilly winds. Pas sing away like dear friends that have warmed V ttf themselves to ottf memory, and leaving the trees as the dear ones leave us, divested of all that makes life beau tiful. What lesson in nature the fal- ling leaves teach us.

READERS CLASSIFIED -Coleridge thus aptly classifies the reading world:
 1. Sponges, who absorb all they read, and return it in the same state, only a little dirtied.
 ?. Sandglasses, who retain nothing, and are content to get through a book for the sake of getting through the time.
 3. Strain-bags, who retain merely the dregs of what they read.
 4. Moral diamonds, equally rare and profitable, who profit by what they read, and enable others t5 profit by it also.
