Long Faces.

What a sad mistake it is to supnose
that a man should be gloomy because
he is devOut, as if misery were accent
able to God on it's own account. and
happiness an offence against his digni-
ty. A modern writer of much wisdom
and pity says:
"Ihere is secret of unbelief among
some men that God is displeased with
mans happiness, and SO they sling
about creation, ashamed and afraid to
enjoy anything!"
These are the people of whom Hood
says: }s-s
"They think they're pious when they
are only bilious !"
A good man is almost ALWAYS n
cheerful one. It is fit that bad men
scowl, look blue and melancholy, but
he who has Gods smile of appreciation
upon him should show His radiance in
MS countenance. DR.. johnson said lie
never knew a villain in his life that
he was not, on the whole, an unhappy
dog" And well lie may lie. And an
honest mantle man with good con-
science-let him enjoy his sleep, and
his dinner, and love his wife and the
prattle of his children, and show a
beaming face to his neiglbor. Surely
there is no worse theology than that
which teaches that He who has given
such fullness of joy to beasts and birds
delights in the misery of men or, that
having filed us with gladness, we
ought to give the lie to His goodness
by wearing faces beclouded with woe,
and furrowed with pretended happi-
ness. tett.nH {,-s

A Lover in the Closet,

A short time since very enterpri
sing young merchant, who is the happy
possessOr ola wife as beautiful "a heart
could desire, had occasion to visit Mo-
bile. lie was gone but q week. and
returned sooner than was expected.-
Reaching home at an hour when the
gray of the morning was minglinp with
the shades of night, he of course fonnd
tne family all ir bed. Proceeding di-
rectly to his wife's apartment, he rap
PED Tor admission, at the same time
announcing who he was. At the mem
ton of his name he thought he detect
ed a smothercd exclamation of surprise.
and then some one got hurriedly from
the bed and sought refuge in a closet
adjoining his bedroom. All this he
heard distinctly, as he waited in the
cold, with the demon of jealousy tug
ging away at his heart. There was
some one in his wife's room: there
could be no doubt of that; and that
some one had sought refuge in the
closet was equally c lear. Who else
could it be than n lOver9 Mad with
jealousy, furious and indignant, he
could scarcely wait for the door to he
opened before he bursted into the room
and made for the closet His wifi in
terfered and begged that lie would't
open the door concealing this disturber
of domestic peace. He dashed her
aside furiously, but she chung to the

those useful appendages at last com
PEELED them to give way, and the an
CRY benedict threw wide open the door
of the closet, and 10! instead of the
cunning libertine, his astonished ewes
rested on one of the prettiest rirls
imaginable. She was passing the night
with his wife, and trying to avoid |
meeting him in dishabNie, brought |
about . rather embarrassing deno1e-
nent. The gentlemen, however. it
nay be as we'll to state, prosecuted his
searches no further, and, instead, made |
hasty retreat.-[N. o. Picayune.

The ALABAMA CLAIMs.-The Cincinnati
Chronicle (Radical) publishes the follow
ing dispatch from its Washington cores
pondent
A very serious error occurred in the
transmission of my dispatch Saturday, in
regard to the terms of settlement of the
Alabama claims, which convey exactly the
opposite meaning from what was intended.
After the first paragraph. in article fourth,
instead of reading that the Commission
will consider all claims of British subjects
against the United States it should have
read that the Commission must exclude
and refuse to consider all claims of British
subjects against the United States in the
following class of cases: i. All cases pre-
sented by the British subjects residing per
manently in the United States. All
cases in which the claimant is unable to
show that he remained neutral during the
late civil war. 3. Those cases decided
finally by admiralty courts"
