Nerer HdpDeHed.
Some eighteen or nineteen years ago,
soon after coming to Brooklyn, heard
the following story told Of the now ven
cradle DIR. Samuel Cox, the father OF
many brilliant savings. as well As OF
Bishop Cox of western New \ ork. The
story ran thus:
''On Il Sunday morning in August,
DR. Cox, rising to the sermon, without
warning or prefix, began, 1t is ID hot
Looking around in calm and pious way,
lie wiped his forehead, and again said,
1t is ID hot Waiting till he thought
the words had burnt in, he proceeded,
These words, my brethren, | heard from
the lips of a protane young man as | en-
tered the doors of the church. There
upon, the story goes, he proceeded to
give an editying discourse on the sin and
folly of swearing" When first heard
it | recognized the story. 1t was an old
acquaintance. 1t had been dong service
in England. 1t was told Of Rev. Row
land Hill, only i'll his case, the topic was
not the weather but the theatre. on which
the young mans profanity was expended.
But stock stories, like couriers. like to
change horses. Before | knew it the

denied it, twice i'll print, and many time,

and every month we find Il new fool rid

\ TIMELY W WARNING.-Ohe OF the
pastors in this city lately uttered a sol
emn and timely warning to his congrega-
ton against extravaganza in dress 1t
is bad enough for Il person OF abundant
means to commit this folly, and the ex-
ample i, wrong. at least 50 far as It's in
tluence is injurious. But for one to wear
broadclotIIs, silks, and velvets. or the
like, and put on jewelry and costly orna-
ments, who is not able to pay for them,
and never expects to be, is either thought
less folly, or downright dishonesty. We
have taken an extreme case. but we
believe this widespread unwIllingness to
10 live within their means, and torego
luxuries OF convenienceS which they are
unable to purchase, to be one of the most
prolific sources of unhappiness and iami-
y di-cord, even with those who are reck-
oned among the middle classes, and are
able to live comfortably and respectfully,
though not extravagantly. When will
people learn that happiness consists IN
contcntment, rather than in having as
fine things. and making as much show as
their ncighbors ?-Congregationdl'St.

ROAD MANNERs.-The first require
ment of the road manners is good nature
and AN accommodating spirit. DO to
others as YOU would have them do to
you. Always be willing to yield more
than half the space, then you will be
pretty sure to be equally well treated
They who exact inches will have inches
exacted of them. If your neighbor has
a heavy load, consult his convenience as
far rs possible you may sometimes be
loaded. 1t has become a practical rule
OF courtesy to turn for heavy teams, e.
pecially in winter. and when the roads
are heavy. Butjremember it was favor
not your right. and YOU have Il recipro-
cal duty 10 perform, and one which, |
am sorry to observe, is not always borne
in mind.
When a team comes up behind you,
that team has a right to I reasonable
space and opportunity TO pass on-ln
fact TO half the road for that purpose
and your obstructin. him in his lawful
desire is both bad manners and bad law.
|: your load is heavy, do the best you
YOU can. In most cases the very least
that can be asked i that you should stop.
This is particularly so in the winter, when
it is 4 heavy tax on a team to force 1t
into II trot i'll deep snow, or deep mud
or frozen or deep ruts-made necessary

If our people keep on their present pace In
the formation of '1eagues" it will require
''seven league boots" to keep up with them.
For example, there are the ''Union Republican
Leagues" or administration rings, all over the
country; then there are "Reform Leagues"
licking to trade reforms, besides ''Free Trade
Leagues" ''Protection or High Tariff
Leagues" ''Eight Hour Union Trade
Leagues" Southern Emigrant Leagues"
'Woman's Rights Leagues" and some fools
are talking about 'imperial" and 'anti-
imperial" leagues. It would seem the
American people would league themselves
with the very Old Harry himself to satisfy
their cravings for sensational secret organiza-
tions. 1t is doubtful, however, whether such
league would stand for any length of time; for il
ever Yankee should belong to it he would be
sure to get up an ''anti-Beelzebub league" in
very brief period. Yes, and if the ''Sorosis
League" should attempt to establish branch
down there some envious Puritanical blue
stocking would be sure to get up an ''anti-
So-roasters' league" and then there would be
hot times!

GOVERNOR HOFFMAN AND THE DEMOCRATIC
RINaMAsrERs.- Albany Erening Journal
asserts that the evidences are conclusive that
Governor Hoffman has broken with his own
party and now relies on the republican party
to save him from being overridden by the
Legislature" This is like getting out of the
frying-pan into the fire, or, more literally, off
the gridiron jobs into equally as corrupt canal
jobs. The fact is, one party is as bad as the
other, and the rings in each are equally as
dead set in their determination to prey upon
the public treasury. The corruptions of the
Tammany ring in this city are the more glaring,
inasmuch as they are confined to a more lin
tied sphere than the rings Of the republicans,
whose operations ramify not only over the
whole State, but over the entire country. They
are q bad set all round

York eating house. The admirers of the

TAXATION OF THE GAS MoNoPoLIEs BY THE
LoBBY.-It is reported that the gas companies
have $3.50, 900 in Albany to spend in the de-
feat of the bills before the Legislature respect
ing gas. 1t is quite possibly true. We have
expected all along that this would be the re-
suit, and our only hope is that members will
put the price Of favorable vote very high, so
that the companies may have to spend half
million rather than quarter. With such
tax demanded every year, may be they will
after while find it easier to satisfy the people
than the lobby.
The New York herald., 1869-04-27

THE SUPERNTENDEST's vIEw.-U is evi-
dent that the Long Island Railroad Company
needs another superintendent. The present
one ''cannot conceive" how the recent accident
occurred, and he can present several reasons
to show that IL was impossible 1.-THE track
was relaid last September, and new ties and
new iron have been put in this spring. The
cars of this train were in good condition, hav-
ing new trucks, new wheels and new axles,
and had only been out Of the repairing shop
short time. cannot attribute the accident to
any neglect or carelessness of the employees.
I consider that the road is In better condition
than IL has ever been before" Clearly the
accident could not happen. We must all be
wrong; but how about the spikes that were
pulled out by hand, and the orumbled frag-
ments Of the broken rail2

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF MEMoRY.-The
Buffalo Courier recalls an occurrence in the
New York Legislature about eighteen years
ago, when the present Secretary Of State was
the whig candidate for the United States
Senate in place Of Daniel s. Dickinson. The
vote in the Senate was tie, but the unex-
planned absence of democratic member gave
the wings majority and Mr.. Fish was elected.
Strange as II may appear, gentleman strongly
resembling this absentee democrat of eigh-
teen years ago turned mp in Washington re-
Gently, and, spurning all red tape circumlocu-
ton, had q private audience with the Secretary
of Statc-the same Mr.. Fish-and soon after
reappeared upon Pennsylvania avenue with the
commission for fat consular gcneralship in
his breast pocket. This is remarkable case
of memory in politician, whose rewards as .
class are generally actuated by lively sense
of favors to come, not past, especially after SO
long an interval as eighteen years.

rains but 1t pours. Torrents of cats and
dogs-puppy dogs and mastifrs, TRAY,
Blanche and Sweetheart, little dogs and
alr-and each bearing challenge in his
muzzle, are now yelping after Senator
Sprague. 1t now appears that Captain God
dard, Of the bold carbineers of the First
regiment Of Rhode Island. is out in card, in
which he stigmatizes Spraguc as 'liar, a
calumniator and q poltroon," and, moreover,
bluntly states that he so pronounces him
with full apprehension of the words he
uses" Here is blood and thunder, and no
mistake.

How THE LAW CONES IN-Taken alto
gether our small police courts are tolerably
fair tribunals, and where the judges are not too
anxious to cut figure justice is well rendered.
But it happens very often that dispute or
difficulty fairly adjusted here by judgment
against the wrongdoer is brought up in one Of
the higher courts, where lawyer shows that
the decision is inconsistent with some old legal
technicality and IL is set aside. Must legal
technicalites always defeat Justice?

RUNNING RIoT.-According to q published
Riotte appears in two places-in one as Min
lister Resident to Nicaragua and in another in
the position for Costa Rca. If appointments
are running riot in this way in the State De-
partment can not Mr.. Secretary Fish find some
that gentleman will only accept one outfit and
single salary, and that will be cheap way
for Mr.. Fish to run our diplomatic system,
you know.

THE BENEFIT TO CuBA.-Cubans will be
able to see some excellence in English law If,
as alleged, England intends to recognize their
belligerency in order to be consistent with her
recognition of the confederacy. Such action,
if taken, will be mainly aimed to convince us
that England had no animus against us, to
show that she treated us no worse than she
will treat SPAIN Although this will have
little effect on us, we will be glad to see Cuba
get the advantage Of It.

THAT RAIL AND THAT FIVE MINUTES.
Every train for months past on the Long
Island Railroad passed over that damaged
rail, making IT a little worse, but going on. 1t
needed-to break up the rail entirely, to
crumble it away like mouldy cbeese-only the
greater impulse Of train five minutes behind
time and trying to catch up, and this il had in
the train that met with the disaster. Such
negligence on the part of those entrusted with
SO many lives as the failure to remove such a
rail is murder.
The New York herald., 1869-04-27

ITALIAN UNITy.-From Florence we have,
under date of yesterday, the old story Of the
discovery of Mazzinian conspiracy, extending
in Wide range from Milan, and the seizure of
arms, ammunition and documents. The
Italians must be ''used to it" by this time.
Victor Emanuel would most probably die of
some inward congestion did he not experience
the political ter-irritant of conspiracy"
every now and then.
The New York herald., 1869-04-27

A GOOD SUGGESTION, IF PRACTICABLE.-
The Albany Ecening Journal very truly
remarks that ''no greater evil can befall a
young man Of ordinary capacity than to have
conferred upon him petty office, and yet
tens Of thousands are to-day seeking what, if
they find, will prove their greatest misfor-
tune" II is unfortunate, however, to reflect
that if suggestion Of this kind emanates from
a friend Of the party in power it is apt to be
regarded as unasked advice usually is and 10
be based upon an unworthy motive-that of
lessening the number Of applicants for Office
in order that there may be a clearer field for
favorites; or If they come from the party out
of power they are likely to SAVIOR vastly Of a
fruit well known in fable as ''sour grapes"
