THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.-The New

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.-The New
York Tribune says:
Postmaster General Creswell is wise in
his generation. Congressman were press
ing him on Monday for certain appoint
ments. He replied that he had no places
for them, and no money to pay them with.
For anybody but Il Congressman trying to
force constituent into Office, that would
have been enough; but these gentlemen
only replied that he must make the appoint
ments any way. Thereupon the wise Off
cial told them of one appointment he had
made. 1t was Of n clerk to take down the
names of Congressman who demanded
such unreasonable expenditures to further
their private interests and favor their friends
When the appropriations for his Depart
ment came up. and members were making
speeches for economy and retrenchment lie
thought the list might be useful. The Con
gressmen went away!
Anything more indecent than the incon-
sistency with which some gentlemen have
been in the habit of passing from their
economical talk in the House to the other
end of the avenue, to demand of the De-
partments extravagancies in the interest of
pet constituents, cannot well be conceived.
Mr.. Creswell's remedy is not pleasant. but
it would work an effectual cure.

For The Cecil Viii
If You Don't Believe 1t, Try 1t.

It's better far to wear away
In honest, strong endeavor,
Than idly rust in slow decay,
And work and labor never
BY honest toll to earn your bread
Or wherewithal to buy it !:
IT'S noble-and It's truly said
If you don't believe it, try it.
Ye idle loafers in the streets
The honest workman spurning,
Know this-a living to be sweet
Is surely worth the earning.
To lay and loaf and lounge about
On others toll to riot,
Is shame and sin, you lazy lout,
And yet you meanly try it.
0 he that earns his daily bread
Despise and sperm him never,
A thousand blessing on his head,
He feeds and clothes you ever.
Should no one work no more than you
Quite spare would be your diet,
Your gills would turn a livid blue
If they would stop and try it.
Then go to work with hands or head.
You'll surely profit by it.
And try and earn some honest bread,
You can if you will try it.
Ne gentler ones of gentler sex,
That tread the pavement hourly,
do not wish your hearts to vex
You must not take it sourly-
Methinks sometimes It's no disgace--
Tho seldom you are nigh it,
To be at home your proper place,
If you don't believe it try it.
Are there no duties there to do .
If so "be up and DOING
No clothes to mend, that you could sew,
No beer that's worth the brewing?
Then stay at home, sometimes at least,
My counsel don't defy it
A little rests as goods feast,
If you don't believe it try it
IT'S easy quite to do the right,
And i'll it there is beauty,
What ere you do, do with your might,
But always do your duty.
Be true unto myself" and then
Wise counsel don't deny it,
You "can't be false to other men,
If you don't believe it try it.

to be the original and sole manufactures of
the celebrated WILMINGTON CITY SOAP
We have the evidence that there never was
soap offered to the community that gives
such entire satisfaction. There is scarcely
grocer in this city, or country store keep
er in this State, or the Eastern Shore of
Maryland that does not sell it, also in the
adjacent parts of Pennsylvania. In the
use of this popular soap you will be as
greaely benefited as we. Please use ac-
cording to directions on each pound and its
value will be more highly appreciated.

Senator Summer has prepared a long
and careful speech on our relations with
England, which he will deliver at all early
day. 1t is understood that he takes very
high ground on the subject of the Alabama
claims, and will express strong dissent to
the treaty made by Mr.. Reverdy Johnson.
He holds that England is responsible for a
good deal more than the destruction of our
ships. because her action with reference to
Rebel privateers drove our commerce from
the seas. Diplomatic circles are consider
ably exercised over what they have heard
about the speech. The British Minister
thinks it looks like war, while the French
Minister is credited with saying it looks
like Canada.
