that VIC understand the Treasury has already

THE MAN AND HIS BROTHER, AND THE Painters: !:
A PARABLE FOR MERCHANTS or ALL CLASSES.
Not exactly original, but emincnily apropos.
There was once upon time man and his
brother who kept store, and sold goods (Cloths,
Cassim ercs, Ready Made Clothing, and Gentle
meas' Furnishing Goods wholesale and retail.
And they became melancholy, because custo-
mcrs were shy and times hard.
And they said i: Lo! We are ruined, and the
sensation is disasrecable.
And it is better to bo ruined quickly than to
endure slow torture
We will give our money away to. the poor man
even to the poorest aud most despised, which
is ho who prineth newspapers, or hath anything
to do with tho same; and will shut up our shop
and wrap ourselves in sackcloth Of desolation,
and pass our days in cursing the hardness of the
times, and rcnding our garments.
And, 10 they did as they had said.
And tho prnter-evcr le vino publsheth news
papets- made glad by the bounty of the
man and his brother who sold wholesale and re-
tail and he did sound their praises and print
tbcm moreover: and did blow his trumpet of
fame respecting those mems dealings, from the
rising Of the sun even to tho going down Of tho
same.
And hc-even the wretchcd and dcspscd prin-
ter Of rapcrs-did magnify and enlarge upon the
stock Of goods which the said man and hii
brother had in their store; aud did publish tho
Variety, and tho Excellence, and the NoHness,
and the Beauty, and the Cheapncss thereof, till
the pcorle-yes.-au Of them; far and near, were
amazed. y. i''" ~
Ard ithc people Acckcd to the store of this man
and his brother, from the NORTH and from the
s5uth, and from the East, AID frcm the West
And The printer rejoicsd, and his "phat" did
abound.
But the man and his brother conld not decEsse
poor, and their melancholy ceased, and the SMILES
of happiness were upon thgir faces.
And they became Mighty. Merchants in the
land, by reason of tho dollars which many of the
people who read their advertisements, poured
into their money bngs.
And This man aud his brother are still there, at
lI6 and IA, Broad street, augusta, ia. Anu
their name is SIMON. And their firm is known
as I. SIMON & BRo.
And one of their liberal Advertisements, the
secret Of their success, is to be found in this pa
per. And if all merchants would follow tho wise
example of this man and his brother, Meir "phat," !"
as we'll as the printers, would abound, and over
flow, and run down in grateful streams upon
friends, Lcighbors, and servants.

There is practical question Of some in

which we have heard suggested, and which
we present to those whom b may concern.
There nre supposed to be in Maryland at this
time some six thousand or more persons who
were soldiers or officers in the rebel army
during active hos,ilities, and who are now pa
rolled prisoners Of war. These men have not,
SO far as we Rave heard, been exchanged sof
otherwise released from their parole. Their
relations to the United States are, therefore,
those Of enemies and prisoners, aud they can
not be properly recognized except as such by
any loyal State. These men largely contfie

All accounts agree that the colofed troops
on the plains have set an example Of disci>
pline and courage, such as calls for great
praise While scores Of the white soldiers
hnve ienominiousiy deserted their officers
in the field, and stolen away with horses and
nrms, The colored boys remain attheir posts
Drawing hardship, danger and disease with
fortitude and confidence. We are informed
by those who know, that, while comparison
may be odious 10 negro haters, it is never>
theless true that examples arc not wanted to
prove the superiority OF the colored boys as
Indian fighters. One instance is related of
absolute cowardice exhibited by some white
regulars, who we're only saved by the DASH
ing intrepidity of some sbrunettes'' who went
to their rescue.
We cannot but gratulaie Gen. Grierson
