A few hours afterward he returned and
said he would take the silk. Some other

a check. His manner was smooth aud on
inquiry everything seemed fair The
bank had been interviewed by him. He
asked them how long it would take to coll

tirely satisfied, went over and saw Mr..
Cady. He had seem the man at Arling-

there. Every ything taken into consider

| A REMINIsCENCE.- years ago
Mr.. Cannon, gentleman of modest avor-
dupois, who was spending the summer at
Newport r. L, addressed letter to one
of the cashiers of this city on the subject
of his dividends. After answering the
writer's enquiries in regard to bank mat
ters, the cashier, by way of pleasantly
and aud lang 8yae, sent the following
sententious reply:
My dear friend Cannon, why should you go East
In Summer time, to frolc, fish and feast,
Whilst L m kept here though no perhaps in vain,
Figuring up discount. raeking my poor brain,
To pile up mammon for yourself and friends,
In shape of seni-annual dividends?
But, my dear sir, if but had the cash,
I'd go to Newport, too, and make dash,
Or cut q swell, with selfish ends in view,
Andswear 1 was millionaire, like you,
And pretend, what kings would blush to own,

And, III that way-excuse me, if you please
I'd raise in time a d of Il breeze
In other words, would with Newport boys,
Like a small Cannon make a tbundaring noise
There, worth is measured-elad it is no worpo-
Not by the open but ca0aciOuS purse,
AS we gaus vessels-let the truth be told
To find their tonnage by Their size ofhod;
Where all must 1ne9l, who would not wealth pro-

At mammon's shrine, to fashions CALLING yoke.
But I've no cash. so Pm content to go
Where herds run wild and fruits spontaneous
grow,
Where fish are plenty, mountain mutton cheap,
And wolves, instead of butchers kill the sheep
Where mountain pines the village spire out-tops,
And grouse, Ike farmers, boast of heavy crops.
Thus ,uld 1 wander, undisturbed by care,
Where the b I'D eagle sweeps his native air,
And tres ambrosial wave their fragrant tops,
Where nature sovs herself and reaps her crops

WEST PoINT.-The September examin
alton of appointees to the Military Acad
emy, at West Point, have resulted in
similar slaughter to that which marked
the June examinations. Of the fifty-one
young men who presented themselves only
twenty-five were admitted, most of them
failing in the rudimentary branches OF
education, like spelling and grammar
This shows great carelessness and favor
in making the appointments, for no one
will believe for a moment that the same
proportion of young men appointed after
competitive examinations would fail. We
begin to think, however, that a boy Is
more fortunate in being excluded from
West Point than in being admitted there.
The training there is admirable in many
respects, but the hazing of new comers
by the older cadets is such as to break
down many of them, and cannot help
brutalizing all If it is not necessary for
an army officer to be bully, and we do
not see why it is, we should suppose the
Secretary of War would devote some OF
spare time he must have on his hands to
bringing about different state of things
in this respect at West Point,

BENNINGTON. - The following lines
were suggested by the return Of the Rev.
G. FL. Hubbard, pastor of the 2d Congre-
gational church in Bennington, from his
European tour, and were read at the Sab
bath school concert two weeks ago last
Sabbath.
The autumn leaf was growing Eere and yellow,
The autumn winds were whispering sad and
low,
When we badey you. oh ! how fervently, God speed
you
In your journey cross the ocean to and fro.
Our prayers have every morn and eve ascended
To Him who gives and Hin who takes away,
That his angels might watch Ger you in the dark
ness,
That his hand might lead you ever through the
day.
Parting hands may clasp and loose at the parting
Lips may quIver, tears unbidden start,
Time and distance cannot sever true affection,
Or unloosen the cords that bind each heart.
Death alone can rend the tender ties asunder;
Even then the memory of the past,
Like the fragrance Of some rare but withered
blossom,
Seems the sweeter that it cannot always last.
There were hands that elapsed yours warmly
when you lett us,
There were lips then warm with loving breath
That have passed far out beyond the shadow,
And are silent now and mocionless in death.
Like the sheaves you left behind you in the au.
tumn,
They have silently and sweetly passed away,
And were gathered ripe and ready for the har
vest,
From earsh's autumn into heavens etsrna
May.
They are waiting far beyond the vale to meet you
Basking the light Of heavens dome,
Hands immortal stretching out 70 greet you,
As We greet you gladly welcome home.
Joyful and glai we meet
Our pastor, long and tried,
With loving hearts we greet
Our Shepherd and our guide.
Like feeble lambs We need
Our Shepherds gentle care.
Our youthful steps to lead
To pastures fresh and fair.
To oveIhowing waters,
Beneath a C ou1less sky,
Where every son and daughter
May drink and never die.
When God makes up his jewels,
May each If rs be found
With our beloved Shepherd,
As stars upon his crown.

For some little time the tendency among

was "a sudden suspension nf the cannon

vera were the spvculations 80 To what
could be the cause of the sudden lull you
may judge Of our surprise when five min

escorted by two uhlans, coming at hard

white duster on fa&got-stjck, as a flag
of truce.
The messenger turoed out to be a
French Colonel come to ak for terms of
surrender.
After very short consultation between
the King and General Won Moltke, the
messenger was told that in matter so

Wa necessary to send an officer OF high

You may tell the commandant that it is
useless his trying to obtain any other
terms than unconditional surrender" The
.PalCn}6ntd}Te rode back with his message,
and when he was fairly off ear-shOt many
were the speculatjons concerning his
mission.
AT l-2 there was a sudden cry among
the members of the Kings staff of DER

hurrah. Soon We began 10 look anxious.

258 votes against 105 for Greeley, and &c

Curtis by a strong vote. In the after.
noon, however, the tide turned, and the
friends of Mr. Greeley were outvoted, and
Van Wyck was made permanent chair
man. This action presaged the defeat Of
Greeley, which occurred, as previously
