sorely perplexed and incredulOus mer-
chant commenced the painful task Of
going over and examining the accounts
for himself. Night after night did he
labor in his solitary counting-room alone,
to look for the error; but every stage
Of the examination confirmed the cor
rectness of the clerk, until the old
Scotchman began to believe it possible
that he was worth sax thousand pounds.
Stimulated by this addition to his wealth
he soon felt desire to improve the con-
dition of his household: and, with that
view, made purchase of new furniture,
carpets and other elegancies, consistent
with the condition of a man possessing
the large fortune of six thousand pounds.
Painters and carpenters were set to work
to tear down, build up, and beautify
and in a short time the gloomy residence
on Stone street was renovated to such a
degree as to attract the curiosity and en-
w of all the neighbors.
The doubts of the old man would,
however, still obtrude themselves upon
his mind; and he determined, once more.
to make a most searching examination
of the accounts. On a dark and stormy
night he commenced his labors with the
patient and investigating spirit of man
aetrrmined to probe the matter to the
very bottom. It was past the hour Of
midnight, vet he had not been able to
detect single error; but still he went
on. His heart beat high with hope, fOl

GETTING RICH RI BoOK-KEEPlxa

In old times, it was the custom Of the
merchants of New York to keep their
accounts in pounds, shillings and pence
currency. About ffty years ago, fru-
cal. industrious Scotch merchant, well
known to the then small mercantile com
munity of chat city, had, by dint of for
tune commercial adventure and economy,
been enabled to save something like four
thousand pounds considerable sum
of money at that period, and one which
secured to the possessor degree of en-
viable independence. His place Of bu-
siness and residence were, as was custO-
mary at that time. under the same roof.
This merchant had a clerk in his en-
pIovment. whose reputation as an ac-
countant inspired the utmost confidence
of his master. whose frugal habits he
cmulated with the true spirit and feeling
of = genuine Calcdonian. It was usual
for the accountant to make an an
nuaI balance sheet for the inspection
of his master, in order that he mightsee
what had been the profits of his business
for the past year On this occasion,
the balance showed to the credit of the
business some six thousand pounds, which
somewhat astonished the incrcdu!ous
merchant

in Delano's district. Last week several
days we're spent in taking testimony be-
fore the Probate Judge fLicking eoun.
ty, showing the nature of Delano's ek
forts to secure = reelection and the
qualification of some of his supporters.
One of these last was an idiot, named
Silas Dibble, residing in Granville town
ship, where Delano's friends managed
to roll up majority of considerably
over 800 votes. Being placed on the
witness stand, Dibble gave the follow
ing answers the questions stated:
QuestiOn-Mr. Dibble, how much do
: and make when added together?
Answer-Three.
Q.-HOw much do 6 and make when
added together?
Alive.
Q.-How much do II and : make
when added together?
A.-TwO.
Q-How do you spell your name, Mr..
Dibble?
Al don't spell much.
Q.-What is the first letter in the
name Dibble. S or T?
As with great animatiOn).
Q-For whom did you vote for Pres
ident at the October election in 1866.
/ A.-FOr Columbus DelanO.
Q.-For whom did you vote for Gov
ernor at the October election in 1862
A.-For Delano.
Q-For whom did you vote for Sher-
if at that election?
A.-FOr DelanO.
On what State does Mr.. Delano
live?
Al don't know.
Q.-For whom did you vote for Con-
gress at the October election, 1866.
A.-For DelanO.
This is a specimen of the manner in
which the party which prates so much
about intelligence as a basis of suffrage,
attempted to secure the reelection OF
Delano. Here they bring to their aid
/ the support Of man who Is not only
destitute of intelligence, but is absolute
/ " an idiot. A Newark correspondent
of the Salesman, states that Dibble, on
being led to the polls vas taken into
the room with officers of the election,
and that whilst there, his father, wOr-
/ thy and honest man, interfered and took
his poor imbecile son away; but one Of
the Radical Judges Of the election left
his place at the poll, followed after the
idiot, brought him back, and voted the
miserable imbecile for DelanO. This is
not the only ease of the kind in the dis
trict. Still others are to be shown up,
and before the contest is over, the Rad
icals Will hang their heads if they are
not utterly lost to all sense Of shame.

GOLD TEIES. -

Here is an exquisite little poem, whicl
appeared in the Chicago j urnal, and /
probably from the pen of B. +. Taylor
1t is a perfect gem:
There's beautiful song on tine slumhrous air,
That drifts through the valley Of dreams;
Il comes from a cline where the roses were,
And a wakefUl heart and bright brown hair
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes Of azure and eyes Of brown,
And snow white f0rcEcads are there
4 glimmering Cross and glittcring Crown,
A thOrny he'd and n couch ofdOwn,
Lost hopes and leaflets Of prayer.
A breath Of Spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet watts from the quivering pines
Biue viOlets eyes beneath green hoods,
A huhhle Of fhrOOklcts. Il scent Of huls,
Bird warbles aud clambcring vines.
/ 4 rosy wreath and dimpled hand,
A ring and a Sighted VOW
| Three golden links Of broken band,
/ A tiny track on the snow white sand,
/ A tear and q siRlcss brow.
/ There's tincture ofgricf in The beautiful song
/ That sGhs on the slumhrous air,
/ Ard loneliness felt IN the festive thTonE,
Sinks down on the soul as it tremb}cs along
/ From a cline where the roses were.
/ We heard II first nj the dawn Of day,
And it mingled with mGtin chimes,
! But years have dis:ancel the beautiful lay
And its melody fowcth from far away,
And we call il nov, Old Times

The special mention Of the run which Is
to run and marked was partly a reserva-
ton and partly a guarantee that this wa
ter might be or should be diverted from
some Of the lots through which it then
ran. The Run, as the elder settlers call
ed it. has now become the Town Branch,
which is another Virginia name for a
small stream-vbich is here set down
and preserved for the benefit of those
who lool, to Webster's Unabridged for
definitions, as that great pOork does not
contain it Equally deficient is it, on
the Word Ran. It abounds in defni-
tions of the verb Run to the number Of
Sc, same Of which might apply to a not
ed battle, but none of the noun run, to
show that it means small stream of wa
ter. For the lack Of proper lexicography
some people may suppose that Bull Run
meant the running Of Bull when il
meant the running Of something else
and particularly running wafer.

NOW FOR OHIO.

THE strong hearted men in the De-
mocratio party have preserved our or
ganization, and maintained our integrity
against the greatest odds, and under the
severest trials, that any people almost
ever were called upon to undergo. They
we'll knew that the hour Of our deliver
eronce would finally come, and chat
while the American people might be
wiled away for a time from the land
marks and teachings of their Republican
fathers, that they would at last return
to them, in painful Penitcnee that they
bad ever left them. Now, Democratic
friends, let US turn our attention to Ohio.
Let US organize here, and prepare for
the contest next October. The Demo-
cracy of Connecticut have set Us a noble
example, They have shown US what can
be done by persistency and devotion to
principle, and by courage in adhering
to organization. Twice has the banner
Of Democratic victory been raised in
Ohio since it was carried in triumph in
Connecticut. Yet our brethren in that
State did not despair, but ever presented
a bold and defiant front. They have
pointed out the road to success yea,
more, they have taken it, and are beck
oning US to follow. Shall we not con-
summate that which has been so glori.
ously commenced? When Democratic
fruit Is thus borne on the hard and ster-
lie soil of New England, what ought We
not to expect in the luxuriant and fertile
Democratic regions of the West2 Arouse
to action, then, Democrats of Ohio -
Pass on the column, and the greatest
result which has ever adorned our annals
will be achieved.-Cn Eng.

Extract frcm a speech Of Wendell Phillips, in

A man can walk through the capitals
Of Europe and learn much that he would
not otherwise learn. One thing that is
noticeable in the streets of Europe is
the greater Independence or individual
ity of the people. II America public
opinion rules every thing. Men here
think before they speak, and speak in
accordance with public sentiment In
England one viii find degree of blunt
ness that will often be thought uncourt-
eous. There is the same independence
in dress. In seven cases out of ten a
mans occupation can at once be found
from his attire in Europe In this
country it Is not so. In passing the
guard at Paris lac had a cap on. The
guard told him he could not pass, be-
cause none but servants wore caps, and
he only got admission after he had as
sured the man that he had hatat home

The second clement that strikes an
American is that. as Dickens says, "the
cities talk. In Paris the windows are

In Europe, our Americans would no
tice what they wouId call lack Of en-
