How it Would Work.

Philosopher GREELEY, in the New York
Tribune, advances these plain ideas, by way
of prudent admonition to the eonspirators
in Washington:
''ln this country, the shortest political
road is that which leads from majority TO
q minority. Our party win take that road
when it rashly begins Impeachment. That
can only revive President Johnsons dying
fortunes, and give him what ne wants
sympathy and the chance 10 make de-
fensiVe war.
"Can he be impeaehed? We do not
doubt the law-but how would the law
work. The charges would be numerous,
intricate, and drawn with skill. There
would be endless yearning on the part of
Republicans to make speeches in favor of
the prosecution, and Of course every effort
on the part of the Presidents friends to
prolong the trial, fighting it step by step,
and endeayoring at least TO drag IL end
lessly Warren Hastings was eight years
on trial, and in his case there was every
motive TO hurry matters. Here there would
be every motive TO delay the trial by the
Presidents friends.
Gould the President be removed? Those
who think he win quietly walk out of the
White House at the bidding of the Senate,
mistake the man and the desperate charac-
ter OF the adventurers who control his for
tunes. What would an impeachment
amount to with the accused all the time in
power ~

Wilkes BoOtI,.

NEW NORK. January ls.
10 ne Editor Of ne Neio York Times:
Since my arrival here. on the 5th instant.
/ have been informed that Il is the belief
Of a number Of individuals in this city and
elsewhere, that J Wilkes Booth, the con-
spirator and assassin, still exists; and that
the man who was shot in the barn by his
pursuers, aud who was supposed to be
Booth, was person who had been an ae-
complice in the conspiracy, and strongly
resembled Booth.
This has reminded me Of an incident
which came under my notice in Calcutta.
British India while stopping there during
the month Of July; 1866,
Two gentlemen were discussing the
merits OF some of the leading conspiratOrs
IN the assassination of our late lamented
President One of them. a man of more
than ordinary intelligence. and ofdecidedly
strong southern proclivities was very elo-
quently defending j. Wilkes Booth, John
II. Surratt, Payne, Atzerodt. M7ldd, and
others. His adversary. gentleman from
Boston, Mass, and evidently a strong
Union man. made use of some bitter sarcasm
when speaking OF them aud said. among
other things, that In his opinion. 'aDy man
calling himself an American. who sympa-
thized with Booth, deserved the same fate
"Ihe same fate p repeated the Southern
er. Il viii lay IA wager of five Hundred
pounds sterling that John Wilkes Booth.
who assassinated President Lincoln. isalive
and in good health at the present time;
and agree to furnish proof of it within six
months"
IL accept the wager was the rejoinder
OF the other party; and both being men of
means the money was soon Forthcoming,
and deposited in the hands of the propri-
etor of the hotel TO await the final decision.
Curiosity prompted me to inquire the
name OF the party whose strange offer had
been so readily accepted; andwas informed
that he was no other than the notorious
rebel pirate Lieut.. William Martin Tolbert,
OF Shenandoahn hnotoriety. formerly OfTrOy,
o. but more recently Of this city.) and who

What could have influenced him to make
n bet of 800 upon a thing so absurd. and
which he must eventually sacrifice. has
been puzzler to me, and must be solved
by wiser head. Respectfully. &c.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The New York Commercial AdcertiSer, a
strong Republican paper. illustrates the
depression in business by citing the case of
lone Of the heaviest and most prosperous
an income of several millions last year, but
which, this year, will not be able to pay a
single cent, owing to heavy losses, and to
the general dullness of trade. by which its
receipts have been reduced below its actual
expenses. a number of large firms on
Broadway and down town are also said to
be in the same condition, and the natural
conclusion reached by the Commercial is,
that the return which previously helped to
swell the internal revenue receipts to so
large a figure are not destined to be repeat
ed this year"

Forgot to Look Up.

[ have somewhere seen the story of a
man who went one evening to steal eorus
I from his neie ehbor's field. He took his
little boy with him to sit on the fence and
keep lookout so as to give warning in
case any one should come along. The
man jumped over the fence with large
bag on his arm, and, before commencing
to take the corn, he looked all around,
first one way and then the other, and not
seeing any person, he was just about to.
fill his bag. Then the little fellow, his
sou-a good little fellow he was, too
cried out:
"Father, there is one way you havn't-
looked yeti
The father was startled, and supposed
that some one was commins. He asked
his son which way he meant.
"Why," said the little boy, "you forget
to look up!"
The father was conscience stricken;
he came back over the fence, took his lit
tie boy by the hand, aud hurried quietly
home without corn which he had designed
to take. The little boy had reminded
him that the eyes of God were upon him.
"The eyes of the Lork are in every
place beholding the evil and the good"

companion, and to exalt your virtue. A
woman devoid of rational ideas of reli-
gion has no security for her virtue; it is
sacrificed to her passions, whose voice,
not that of GoD, is her only governing
principle. Besides, in those hours of ca
lamity to which families must be exposed,
where will she fnd support, if it be not in
her just reflections upon that all ruling
Providence which governs the universe,
whether animate or inanimate
Mutual politeness between the most in
timate friends is essential to that harmo-
ny which should never be once broken or
interrupted. How important then is it
between man and wife! The more warm
the attachment, the less will either party
bear to be slighted, or treated with the
smallest degree Of rudeness or inattention.
This politeuess, then, if it be not in itself
virtue, is at least the means of giving
to real goodness new lustre; it is the
means of preventing discomfort, and even
quarrels; it is the oil of intercourse; it
removes asperltIes, and gives to every
thing smooth, an even, and pleasing
movement.
| will only add, that matrimonial hap
piness does not depend upon wealth; DO,
it is not to be found in wealth; but iu
minds properly tempered aud united to
our respectivs situations. Competency is
necessary; all beyond that point, ideal.
Do not suppose, however, that L would
not advise your husband to augment his
property by all honest and commcndable

ly engaged in such pursuit, because eu-
gagement, sedulous employment, in OBJ
tanning some laudable end, is essential to
happiness. In the attainment of a for

satisfaction in selfapplause, as we'll as
from the increasing estimation in which
he is held by those around him.
In the management of your domestic
concerns let prudence and wise economy
prevail. Let neatness, order, and judg-
ment be seen in all your different depart
ments. Unite liberality with jus. fru-
gality, always reserve something for the
hand of charity, and never let your door
be closed to the voice of suffering human

have the strongest claim upon your char
ity let them be well clothed, nursed IN
