reading matter.
Ii the type is small they can't read it.
II We publish telegraph reports, folks say

If ws omit them, they say We have no
enterprise or suppress them foc political

If we have in few jokes folks say we
are nothing but a nttle-head.
II We omit jokes they say we are an old

If we publish original matter they damn
us for not giving selections.
If we publish selection folks say we are
lazy for not writing more, and giving them
what they have not read in some other pa

If we give man complimentary notices
We are censured for being partial.
If we DO not all hands say We are a great

If We do not, they denounce us as deceit
full and desperately wicked.
II we speak well of any act Of the Presi-

Ii we censure, they call us traitor.
If we remain in our office and attend to

mingle with our fellows.
If we go out, they say we never attend
to business.

CHARLOTTE TEMPLE.
The Grave of the Too Confiding- The
Child and ITS MOther-Desecratfon al
the Monument.

The Grave OF the Too COnfidfng The
Child and ITS MOther-Desecratfon oi
the Monument.
We believe our younger readers, as wei
as those older ones to whom the story o.
Charlotte Temple is familiar, will be inter
ested in the following sketch from App e.
ton's Journal:
Among the countless throngs who daily
pass and repass Trinity church, how many
know that within few feet of the crowded
thoroughfare of Broadway is grave which
covers all that remains of once beautiful
and fascinating woman, the record of whose
sorrows has dimmed the eyes of thousands
No date of birth, no indication of family.
and no date of death appear on the stone
that covers the grave of Charlotte Temple,
whose tragic story, once theme OF every
circle, is probably unknown to the greater
number of young readers.
The most beautiful eirl in New York--so
it is claimed-she attracted the attention of
a young officer, a member OF one OF En-
glands oldest and proudest families, who,
with his regiment, entered the city when
the British occupied New York, after the
battle of Long Island. Charlotte then only
IL, was wooed and won by the dashing
young officer. He deserted her, ard then
the old story-she soon after died OF a
broken heart A little daughter which she
left was tenderly cared for. at a proper age
taken to England and fortune of 500, 900
settled upon her by the head of her fathers
er of the present Lord Stanley. She, like
a true daughter of true woman, returned
to New York and erected the monument
that now marks the mothers grave. The
upon il was engraved on 6 solid
tablet of brass, an inch in thickness, heav-
ily plated with silver, and thls it read:-
"Sacred to the memory of Charlotte STAN
lev, aged 10 years" This filial duty per-
formed, she returned to England and lived
a life of unobtrusive piety and usefulness.
The plate placed upon the Stone that
marks the grave was SUI posed to be of solid
silver and tempted the cupidity of certain
vandals, who, with hammer and chisels,
succeeded in pr, ing it from the slab. They
were never detected. Many years after
ward, some good Samaritan caused the SIM
pie name of Charlotte Temple to be cut un-
the excavation. There 1T may be
seen, within a few feet of Broadway, by any
one who will take the trouble to look
through u iron railing. The last time
we glanced at the slab. now almost imbed-
ded in the ground, We saw several sparrows
taking bath in the water which had col
lected in the excavation from which the
villains removed the plate; and other little
songsters were singing a requiem
over her grave-near which We were graft
fed to observe o forgot-me-not, doubtless
planted there by some kind heart who, in
childhood had wept over the sad and ro-
mantle story of the blue eyed girl.

five BADLY Mild.

A few days since, a well dressed and dap
per little person was seen to manifest very
inquisitive interest in the mandatory of
our enterprising young citizen Henry Bon
mabel, esq. He inspected internally with
a pencil. Was he purchaser or special
artist detailed to present to the public n
view of the manufactory of the bi-sulphate
OF liIns? Very soon this observant visitor
met the active proprietor, who was engaged
with some other gentlemen in making
some change In his business arrangements.
With all the dignity of new clothes, the
visitor presented his card, the Hon. c..
Sneakem, detective extraordinary In the
service of the internal revenue.
''Allow me to inquire" asked he OF Mr.
Henry Bonnabel, ARE these whisky bar

''They were, SIR"
"Will you allow me to see your receipt

The detective was not to be thus thrown

"Will you," persisted he, 'permit me- Il

Owen was indignant that "thafe OF

Ireland to prosecute honest people; SO b
struck barrel such vehement thuml
that the bung bounced out, and the detee
tive thrust his official nose into the open
ling. The effect Of the pent-up sulphur

of the dappcr gentleman from New Yor
was s.like sudden and conclusive. He tum
IbleSi over like bedbug exposed to corro

of Owen and some other rdisinterested speci

could leave his bed and resume his ''wii
