The nature OF the arLcies are aCi iO1iN, Tvs
criptive, Humorous, Philosophical, Pathetic,
Sentimental &c Competent critics have pro
nounced it the most interesting miscellaneous col
lection ever submitted to their inspection
While there is not so much as one word calcu-
lated to offend the most sensitive modesty, there
are hundreds of lines that will dim with tears the
eve of beauty, and awaken in the heart of gen
uine manhood the purest and noblest emotions
AS the work chiefly of Southern Prisoners, it
commends itself especially to that class, while
every Southerner, who had a friend or relative
in Prison, should have copy.
Proprietors of newspapers will place an old
member of the Press under lasting obligations by
giving this one Insertion. l am aware that
aThaaak yosf' is poor pay, yet it is the best cur
rency I can command at present Should the
work meet with that favor at the hands OF the
public which anticipate, I shall furnish more
substantial evidence of my gratitude to such as
may have thus befriended me in my hour OF need.

IT'S NoBoDy's BUsISEss.'- Exclaim-
ed one of our NJ. C's. especial friends
and adhcrents, on reading the effort
made by Linn TO procnre an appropIia
ton of additional documents, with which
tosupply the three counties of the new

simonious If not ''real mean for Con
gress 10 WITHHOLD its assent. The fact is
it is q necessity. that he calls for, and it
should be supplied without hesitation
and in the most liberal manner. We
move 6 reconsideration OF that vote.
That bribery case. our NJ c. found in
the p. Q. Department is another thing
that is nobody's business. We COM
mend him for his yigilance--it was right
he should ferret it out. The present
Postmistress ut Centerville, had no bus
mess to ask the place from one of our
IL C.'s relatives, in the first place and,
then, not thinking his Argus eyes would
ever see it, she had no business TO offer
TO pay the A. Z. c.. the enormous SUN
of s. for any trouble it would be to him
to forward her commission that had been
made out and was lying in the office.
To be sure, she did this innocently, not
knowing that our NJ. C. would think of
bribery in connection with that over
whelmning sum- she was only anxious
to get her commission, and reap the
profits Of tue office. as soon as possible
- being g soldiers widow - but that
makes nc difference, it was nobodys
business, if he made it his business to
enquire into the matter--thats SO.
Again iii is uobody's business how
much money our NJ. G. makes out Of
movements in Congress to 'sreyive old
land grants to railroads in Wisconsin
and Michigan lit is Il fair business
transaction. Put money in thy purse,
honestly if thou canst- but, put mon
ey in thy purse" any how; is a fair
business transaction also, and Its no

course, re shall not complain-because
it's none of our business = and we are
