RENTEs Many of our readers may not
have clear understanding of the word
rentes,' which occurs so constantly Just
now in our foreign dispatches, and whose
rise and fall seem to constitute the finan-
cial barometer of Paris. They are the fund
cd debt of France, not, however, in the form
of bonds, but simply loans from the peo-
pie. These loans arc entered to the CT ied-
it of the lender on the government ledgers,
and draw specified rate of interest. The
holder of the debt are called renters, u
'and the fluctuations in its value denote
popular distrust or confidence in the gov.

The republic was founded more than L.
400 years ago, on moral principles, in
dustry and equality, and has preserved
its liberty and independence amid all the
wars and discords which have ragged a

sent an embassy to express his sentiments
of friendship and fraternity. 1t is gov
erned by captain regent chosen every
six months by the representatives of the
people (sixty in nunlbcr) who are chosen

The practice of allowing boys to spend
their evenings in the streets is one of the
most ruinous, dangerous and mischeyious
things possible. Nothing so speedily and
surely marks their course downward.
They acquire under cover of night, an
unhealthy state of mind, vulgar and pro-
fame language, obscene practices, criminal
sentiments, and lawless, riotous bearing.
Indeed it is in the streets, after nghtfall

Card from James Armstrong.

TNHE undersigned would hereby respectfully
l. beg leave to return his sincere thanks to the
Democratic and Conservative voters of New Cas-
tie county for their partiality in selecting him as
their candidate for the Sherifalty, from among so
many other gentlemen, whose names were pre-
sehted TO them on Saturday last, any ono of
whom would have done honor alike to the office
and the great party TO which they so long and
faithfully adhered.
1t would afford him great pleasure to visit his
friends in every Hundred in the county and to
tender to each, personally, his thanks for the
honor conferred upon him but, as circumstan-
ces, which are best understood by those who are
most intimately acquainted with him, render this
impracticable, he adopts this as the only availa-
BILE mode of expressing his gratitude to his fel-
lowcitizens for their past support and of solicit
ing continuation of the same at the ensuing
general election, pledging himself that, should
he be so fortunate to be elected 10 the said of
flee, he will discharge its duties with honesty, fl
deity, and to the best of his humble ability.

WISHING.
BY JOHN g. SAKE.

BY JOHN G. SAKE.
Of all amusements of the mind,
From logic down to fishing,
There isn't one that you can find
So very cheap us wishing"
A very choice diversion, too,
II we but rightly use it,
And not, as We are apt to do,
Pcrvert it, and abuse it.
| wisl-a common wish, indeed
Ny purse wns somewhat fattcr,
That might cheer the child Of need,
And not my pride to hatter;
That might make oppression reel,
AS only gold can make it,
And break the tyrant's rod of steel,
As only gold can break it..
wish--that sympathy and love,
And every human passion
That has its origin above,
Would come and keep in fashion;
That scorn, and jealousy, and hate,
And every base emotion,
Were buried fifty tathoms deep
Beneath the waves of ocean
wish-that friends were always true.
And motives always pure,
wish the good were not so few,
wish the bad were fewer;
| wish that parsons ne er forgot
To heed their pious teaching,
wish that practicng was not
So different from preaching
wish that modest worth might he
Appraised with truth and candor;
wish that innocence were free
From treachery and slander;
wish that men their VOWS would mind,
That women ne cr were rovers;
wish that wives were always kind,
And husbands always lovers.

BELsHAzzAR,s PALACE.

The front of this palace was six times
as great as the front of St. Peters Church
at Rome, four times as great as the length |
of the Capitol at Washington. The whole
structure was surrounded by three walls,
so high that it would take 13 tall men,
standing erect, one above the other, to
reach the top. The outer wall of the pal
ace enclosed more ground than Central
Park in New York. The city in which
Belshazzar reigned, was square 10 miles
on side, surrounded by walls as wide
ON the top as large church, and IS feet
higher than the highest tower or stceple in
America. If Broad Street, in Philadel-
phia, were graded and built up to the full
extent of the city limits, it would lie the
longest, straightest, widest street in the
world. Ancient Babylon had so such
streets, straight as an arrow, crossing each
other at right angles, and wider by one
third than the widest street in Philadel
phia And this mighty city of old was
furnished with towers and stceples and
palaces and pleasure gardens, correspond
ent to its greatness. Belshazzar's so call
ed father, Ncbuchadnezzar, was the most
magnificent builder the world ever saw
According to Herodotus he put into the
walls of his capital alone more than five
thousand millions of solid masonry. Bub-
ylonian bricks foot square, inscribed
with the name of Nebuchadnezzar, have
been found by Sir Henry Rawlinson in
more than hundred different places in
the country about the ruins of the greet
city, and there are millions of such bricks
to-day lying just where they were placed
by the hand of workmen twenty four hun
dred years ago.
