TALKING TO HIS Wru.Es.- fol-
lowing story, although it may be familiar
to some of our readers, is pungent enough
to merit a repetition Twenty years ago,
there being no railroad up the west branch
of the Susquehanna river, travellers were
compelled 10 patroniZe the stage In winter
and canal packet boat in summer. After
freshe; the packets on their up>trips
were usually much crowded with return-
ing raftmen, and a ron9her or more bois-
ferrous set would be bard to find. On one
trip of the boat, commanded by Captain
P-he had more than his fair allowance
of rough characters, and among these one
man by far outdid all the rest. The cap-
tain pleaded with him. begging him TO
keep within bounds, but it produced SC,
good effect. The captain then begged a
minister, who chanced to be on the boat.
to use his infiuance. The minister did so,
but he might as we'll have ta!kad, to the
winds. At dinner the minister asked
blessing, and as he did so the boatman
boo hooed as if his vesy heart would
break, and all concluded that the tender
spot was at last reached. But no sooner
was the ministers petition concluded than
the raftman, in broken Toice, and be-
tween sobs, said: "rhat reminds me of

He stood on his head on thu wild sea-
shore, and JOY was the cause of the act !;
for he felt as he never had felt before
insanely glad, in fact. And why? In
that vessel that left the bay his mother
in law had sailed to a tropical country
far away, where tigers and snakes pre-
vailed. And more than one of his cred
itors, too-those objects of constant
dread-had taken berths in the ship
Curlew, whose sails were so blithely
spread. Oh how he might look for a
1uiet life, which he never had known as
yet Ctis true that he still possessed wife
and was not quite out of debit But he
watched the vessel, this singular chap,
DER the waves, as she upped and downed,
and he felt exactly as if to the cap ''the
edifice was crowned" Till over the blue
horizons edge she disappeared from view;
then up he leaped on chaiky ledge, and
danced like kangaroo And many and
many joyous lay he pealed Ger the
sunset sea, till down with ''fiz" sank
the osb of day, and then he went home to
tea.

s'rHE RIGHTEOUS NEVER FoRsAKEN. -

In the spring of lS-I was called to
jackson, Alabama, to attend court, hav-
ing been engaged to defend young man
who had been accused of robbing the
mail. The stolen bag had been recover
ed, as we'll as the letters from which the
money had been ri1ed. These letters
were given me for my examination, and
returned them to the prosecuting attorney,
having got through my preiminaries about
noon, and the case would not come off
before the next day, / went into court in
the afternoon to see what was going on.
The first case that came up was one of
theft, and the prisoner was a young girl
not more than seventeen years of age,
named Elizabeth Medwortk. She was
very pretty, and bore that mild, innocent
look which is seldom found in culprit
She had been weeping profnsely, but as
she found 50 many eyes upon her she bes
came t0o frightened to weep more. The
complaints against her set forth that she
had stolen hundred dollars from a Mrs.
Nasty, and as the case wen: on l found
that this Mrs. Nasby, a wealthy widow
living in town, was the girls mistress. =
The poor girl declared her innocence in
the widest terms, but circumstances were
hard against her A hundred dollars in
bank notes had been stolen from her mis-
tress's room, and she YVES the only one
that had access there. AT this Juncture,
when the mistress was upon the witness
stand, young man came and caught me
by the arm. ''They tell me you are a
very fine lawyer" he whispered.

"Then save her! You certainly can
do it, for she is innocent

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Is it one of the evil effects produced by
the secession war, or is 1t caused by the
poverty of the city, or the inefdcicncy Of
the citizens. or their Indifference to literary
matters, that New Orleans has no public
library9 say nOne because the desultOry
collection of odd volumes huddled together
on the shelves OF room in the City Hall,
and called a library, does not, 10y any means,
merit that name. True in that misnamed
collection, amid piles of rubbish are many
valuable books: but the essential feature of
live library, keeping mp with the best
literature of the day, is entirely lacking toit;
and even among the books which 1t contains,
so many OF them are incomplete, that the
book-worms, who crave such dusty intel
lectual alimcnt, have serious cause of com
plant The eighth, twelfth or sixteenth
volume o.. some musty treatise on some OBJ
solete subject, the very volume containing
the cream of the whole matter, is certain to
be missing when wanted, and no satisfac
tory account of its whereabouts is to be
had. only the tantalizing information that
it never has been in the library, as far as the
knowledge of the librarian extends.
WHY does not the REPUBLICAN, which
claims to be a i've progressive sheet, look
into this matter, rub up the committee
which has charge Oft Il suppose some com
mittee has it in HANDY. show up the deticien-
cies of this parody of a library, contrasted
with the libraries in other large cities; in
short. bcstir itself, so that the responsible
person (somebody must be responsible)
shall be made 50 uncomfortable as to be
driven into doing something in the matter!
