A DRINKING STORY WITH TWO
'PINTs. An old inebriate, named Billy,
in one Of our Western towns, was induc-
ed by the eloquence of local preacher,
to forego the Intoxicating cup and join
the church. Old Billy became an earn
est convert and as he had been SO noto-
rious drunkard, his reformation was
looked upon as a wonderful argument in fil-
vor of the preachers particular faith.
He was therefore made much Of and al
lowed front scat during the service. It
happened one day to be communion, and
as the bread and wine were handed round,
Billy, occupying front seat, was among
the first served. As the cup was handed
to him smile Of ineffable light broke
over his face, Casting his eyes upward
for moment, be placed the cup to his
lips and drained it to the last drop. The
Elder made dash to regain the cup, but
was too late it was empty. With a look
Of dismay, the Elder exclaimed "That
was not all for you r But Billy clasped
his hands together and grinning piously
up at him, said, s'Oh, / love the Lord SC
much ] could drink quart !" -

PENDLETON,s POLICY.

The scheme of reputation put in formsl
shape by Pendleton, of Ohio, finds great ia.
vor with Copperhead demagogues of small
calibre, but rather astounds the more
thoughtful members of the party, when they
look forward to its practical effects. The
Albany Arg. likes the cry for buncombe
and political capital, but then it is afraid of
1t as measure of practical statesmanship.
The Argus says
"The proposition Of Mr.. Pendleton goes
further than the substitution of q Govern

body of the debt, as it falls due, an equiva>

A LIVING DEATH.-A sad tale was recent,
y told at an inquest at Biddeford, England,
by the brother of man who was killed
while searching for gulls' eggs, on the cliffs
which form the island of Lundy, in the Brit,
ish Channel. James and John Brand were
thus engaged, when, strsying apart from each
other . few minutes, John heard fall. He
went TO the edge, and, looking over, saw his
brother few yards down the cliff hanging
by his hands to little jutting piecs of rock,
and searching with his feet for the smallest
foothold. It was in vain; the rock was az
hard as adamant and as smooth - glass, and
there he hung, achasm of fully three hundred
feet yawning below him. Help from above
was impossible; q foothold below there was
none, and certain death stared him in the
face. With the iron grip of despair the fel>
low hung on for few minutes that seemed
like hours TO his helpless brother from above,
and at last with Wild scream, James Braund
released his hold, and plunged heedlooe
down. his bead being shivered 70 fiaements

COLD COMFORT FROM COPPER
HEADS.

AEADSs
The man who became President through
the aid and comfort of a Copperhesd rebel
assassin's bullet, and has ever since tried to
serve the party whose agent placed him in
power, receives but cold comfort at the hands
Of the leading organs of the party. The
Chicago Times has the following editorial on
his programme:
Another flock Of reports, concerning future
Cabinet changes and official removals by the
President, is sent abroad by telegraph. MAJ
jor General Howard will be removed from the
freedmen bureau, and returned to his regu.
lar army rank, (tha. of Brigadier,) will be
sent to look after Indians. Halleck will take
the place of Pope, who will be returned to
play poker in St. Paul, and dream of cam.
paign against the Sioux; while Meade will
succeed Sickles, who will be banished to New
Mexico. Grant, as the executive guillotine
is about to descend, will protest in severely
official terms,' and go on putting his cigar
and thinking about the Presidency, as the Of,
fetal heads roll into the basket.
Nor is this all. Seward, McCulloch
Welles and Randall will all be invited to step,
out, and Adams, Fessenden, Dixon, Andrew,
Sherman, Anthony, or somebody else, will be

the bulls eye twice in three shots, proposes
to bring down some game that win repay him
for all the great trouble and vexation he has
experienced.
1t is rather late in the day for Mr.. john
son to carry out the new programme which
it is said he has resolved to inaugurate, with
any advantage to himself. 1t is work which
he ought to have begun, and which he was
urged by the best friends of the country to
begin, more than year ago. He was amply
forewarned that he could make no peace with
Jacoblnism by pursuing atemporizing policy.
He heard tho warning, but refused to heed it
until he found himself bound hand and foot
by an angry Congress, whose hate and rage
his undecided antagonism only assisted to IN.
flame 1t is now too late. In proceeding to
lock the stable-door after the horse has been
stolen, Mr. johnson may greatly annoy the
Jacobin thieves who intend to steal the sad
die and bride also; but he will not regain the
confidence of the people.

A LEAKY Porn disconsolate poet has
undertaken to immortalize recent steamboat
disaster. The following melancholy stanza tehl
his versoD of the whole story:
"She heaved and sot and sot and heaved,
And high her rudder flung:
and everytime she heaved and sot,
A worser leak she sprung. "-Picauyne
Poole Bill Mobile poet, when he saw the
above, scratched his chignon for few seconds,
and then scratched his paper With the iol-
lowing:
The water rushed in through the leak.
AS hard as it could tar;
And the Capting walked the biler deck
a tarin' Of his har.
The Capting walked the biler deck,
The boat she sunk and shiyered;
Then down she went, and if she's stopped,
The stop Amt been diskivered.
The Capting to the top he riz,
And as he riz he said
The boat may go to shades below.
But save the chambermaid!
