PAINFUL PANEs-An Irish glazier

Irishman bore the banter for some time,
but at last sienced bis tormenter by,
"Arrah, be off wld ye, or else I'll put a

We extract the following paragraph
from an obituary notice in one Of our
exchanges, which was written by a
brother Of the quill, on the demise Of
an old associate of the press, and for
whom he had, to large degree been
intimate with for years. "Are we not
glad that such an editor is in heaven ?
There the cry Of more copy shall
never again fall upon his distracted
ears. There he shall never be abused
any more by his political antagonists,
with lies and detractions that shall
shame a demon to promulgate. There
he shall no more be used as a ladder for
the aspiring to kick down as soon as
they reach the desired height and need
him no more. There he shall be able
to see the immense masses Of mind he
has moved, all unknowing and unknown
as he has been, during his weary pill
grlmage on eTth There he will find
all articles credited-not a clap of his
thunder stolcn-and there shall be no
horrid Typographical errors to set him
in fever"

A Distinction.

The experienced are aware that there
IS no seyerer trial Of temper than the
milking Of refractory COW. Such a
COW, by refusing to stand still, and be
kicking over the milk two or three
times, had yexed me 50 beyond all en-
duranco, that, procuring a good cudgel,
and having got the COW well cornered
proceeded to administer most wrath
ful tlogging. My father that moment
made his unexpected appearance, and
suspended the operation Of castigation
by saying Harmon, my son, don't
strike that COW again: Lever strike d
cows 1t never does them any good
never"
About week after this my father
was doing the milking himself, and the
COW proved unusually troublesome, as
inferred from loud sounds in the direc-
ton Of the barn.yard Going to the
spot, ! arrived just in time to see the
COW In a very close corner Of the fence,
and the boot Of my patcrnal relative
administering kicks Of the heaviest kind
thick and fast. Father said |, very
quietly, Il thought you told me never
TO strike a COW" Eyes, that is true"
was the reply, while the punishment
continued with uuabated yigor, THAT is
true; but did | say anything about
kicking them did say anything about
kicking them2 Striking does no good,
but kicking seems to curl 'em right up :"

TIE CURRENCY.-The New York Herald
is quite indignant that Mr.. McCULLocH
steadily pursues the policy of reducing the
amount of Federal %currencyin circulation.
He is authorized by law to reduce it by the
amount of $4,000, 900 per month. The
Herald argues that the Government should
supply the whole circulating medium for
the country in legal-tender notes, and break
up the National Bank currency and system.
That paper undertakes a herculean labor
when 1t attempts to destroy the Nationa
Banks. They are a power in the land now
greater than "an army with banners
The argument that the Government may
save twenty millions of dollars per annum
in interest by substituting legal-tenders fol
the National Bank currency is strong, but
the Banks are stronger. BENNETT is talk
ing merely to make o fuss about finance
He has no idea that the National Bank:
can or will be wound up. Indeed, if they
were, the consequences would be most dis
~astrous. The process of their abolition
and the establishment of some sort of sub
stitute for them would be productive o
great disorder and injury to the country.
