saying that now he had full revenge, for ho
had killed at once both his body and soul.

You've LADIEs.-An exchange gives some
excellent advice to young ladies, who should
accord it practical acceptation, especially
those just entering the social circle. Man IS
by no means all that he seems, and the thought
less unwittingly cause unhappiness:
young ladies, you need not fatter your
selves that you are such good students OF
human nature that you can always distinguish
between genuine young gentleman ana i me
mere young man. Your means ol JnoSlnG
are entirely inadequate, and the signs from rom
which you draw your conclusions are geneIaay a:,
false. Besides, many young men of the most
honorable inteptions are thoughtless. These
do more harm, perhaps, than those who are re-
malicious. The only safety for you, girls, ;i IS
to move within the strictest rules 1f o.ia soeIal
propTiess, so tar as conversation with gentle, e.
man is concerned. always keep an eye 10

Two Sharners.

a noted sportsman, taking dinner at cne
Of our New York Clubs, exhibited diamond
ring of great beauty aud apparent value on
his finger. a gentleman present had great
passion for diamonds. After dinner the par
ties met in the Office. After much bantering
the owner of the ring consented 10 barter it
for 5000. As the buyer left the room sup
pressed tittering struck his car. He conclu>
ded that the former owner had sold both the
ring and the purchaser. He said nothing,
but called the next day upon z jcweller,
where he learned that the diamond was paste,
and the ring worth about S25. He exam
ined some real diamonds, and found one
closely resembling the paste in his own ring.
He hired the diamond for few days, pledg-
ed 81 200, the price of it, and gave 800 for
its use he went to another jeweller, had
the paste removed and the real diamond set
His chums, knowing how he had been i'm
posed upon, impatently awaited his appear>
ance the next night To their astonishment
they found him in rare glee. He hourished
his ring, boosted of his bargain, aud said if
any gentleman present had Sl2U0 ring to
sell for 5000, he knew of purchaser
When he was told that the ring paste,
and that he had been cheated, he laughed at
their folly. Bets were freely offered that the
ring did not contain real diamond. Two

hundred dollars All were taken umpires
were chosen. The money and the ring were
put into their hands. They went to a frat
class jeweller, who applied all tie tests, and
who said the diamond was stone of the first
water, and worth, without the setting, twelve
hundred dollars. The buyer put the thous-
and dollars which he had won quietly in his
pocket. He carried the diamond back and
recalled his twelve hundred dollars, and with
the paste ring on his finger went to the club.
The man who sold the ring was waiting for
him. He wanted to get the ring back he
attempted to turn the whole thing into a joke.
He sold the ring for fun he knew it was
real diamond all the time. He never wore
false Jewels. He could tell real diamond
anywhere, by its light. lie would not be so
mean as to cheat an old friend. He knew
his friend would let him have his ring again.
But his friend was stubborn-said that the
seller thought it was paste, and intended to
defraud him. At length, on the payment
of eight hundred dollars, the ring was
stored. All parties came to the conclusion,
when the whole affair came out, that when
diamond cuts diamond again, some one less
sharp will be selected-iSunshinea and iSAao-

well the importance of getting him out
Of the reach of his true friends until
after the convention had separated,
hurried him away and kept him in a
secluded part of the city some four
hours before his friends knew where to

Tilden is a candidate for the United

Seymour as the candidate for President

of the New York Assembly, and there

united with the leaders in Ohio, and

think so.

Seymour on Prayer for the Union.

In the Democratic organs, Horatio
Seymour figures as the supposed Chris
tian patriot, no less than as the suppos-
ed finished statesman, During the
war, when other Christian patriots
prayed for the salvation of the Union,
HoratiO Seymour did not. He is a
member of the Episcopal Church. In
1862, the Triennial Episcopal COnven-
ton was held in Trinity Church, New
York city, and the Sth of October was
designated as a day Of especial services
appropriate to the condition of the
country. Murray Hoffman, DR.. VintOn
and others, moved and advocated pat
riotic resolutions, and DR.. Goodwin de-
livered an exhaustive speech, urging
tn cir adoption. The next day, Judge
Carpenter, of New Jersey, had up a res
olution calling on the Bishop for ga
form of prayer in relation to the wicked
rebellion now prevailing in the land,
for the safety of our country, and for
the success of our armies" Here was
a resolution for Christian patriot to
endorse. It called for prayer "6or the
safety Of our country Surely Hora-
ito Seymour as a Christian should pray
for that. But it called for prayer "for
the success of our armies" As a Cop
p peThead Christian. HOratiO Seymour
could not pray for that. So HOratio
Seymour being present in the COnYen-
ton, made q tdbored speech against tie
resolution. His speech was reported at
the time. He GOaS opposed to 27T07lOec91c-
ing an. opinion against our Southern
brethren. The measure seemed to him
like the Pope's bull against the comet.
He begged them to pause before coU-
demning the absent thousands and
hundreds. of thousands f'of our brethren
not a man of whom was there TO sReak
for himself." But Seymour WAS there to
speak for these hundreds of tho ousands
of Southern brethern, and beg that
the church should not pray for the de-
feat of treason on the hatde-fe ld.-De-
tr0it Post.
