WHAT Is NOT CHARITY.-It is not
charity to give q penney to the street
mendicant of whom nothing is
known, while we haggle with a poor
man out Of employment for dime.
1t is not charity to bear down q sec m
stress to starvation price to let Der
sit in wet clothing sewing all day !;
to deduct from her pittiful remunera-
tion IL the storm delays her prompt
arrival. It's not charity to take a
poor relation into your family, make
her . slave to all your whims, and
taunt her continually with her de-
pendent situation. It is not charity
to turn q man out into the streets
with his family, because he cannot
pay his rent. 1t is not charity to
exact the uttermost fsrthing from
the widow aud orphan. 1t 10 not
charity TO give with a supIcilious
air and patronage, as if God had
made you the rich human, of differ
ent blood from the shivering recipi-
ent, whose only crime is that he is
poor. 1t is not charity to be an ex-
tOrtioner-not though you bestcw

TURNING STATES EVIDENCE
The Albany Argus pays the following
beautiful tribute to the Radical
party:
The most astounding developments
of Radical villainy and hypocrisy are
made nowadays by members of
their own party. Stanton disgorged
the dark character in the Col. North
case. Butler branded Bingham as
the murderer of az innocent woman.
Greedy owns up that his party defeat.
ed the Crittenden Compromise meas
ures, and brought on the war against
the wishes Of q majority of the Amer
ican people.
The present legislatures of New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
have been branded by Republican
journals as the most corrupt ever as
sembled in this country, and lastly
the Philadelphia Eresiag Journal
Radical, announces the startling
fact that it has been discovered that
at the election last fall, the whole
ticket was elected by
some thousands majority. 1t appears
that the Democrats had been delibe-
rately counted ont by the scoundrels
who officiated rs election officers.
We hope these leaders will keep
ip their wrangling little while long

the editor, extending his hand, his

answered and then short silence ELL
sued, during which our friend B.
