The Germantown Telegraph says that
the European house-sparrow. whether for
good or for evil, is largely multiplying in
and around Philadelphia. They seem to
like proximity to human habitations and
become very tame. No doubt they like
insects when the said insects are in prime
condition, but that they like seeds and
bread crumbs is undenablv true from our
own observations on our own premises.

to multiply names seems TO be OF re-
publican origin. Our fOretathers' De
fore the Revolution, were content
with two apDellatiOns for their chill

and we are, therefore, spared the hoI-

Facts Worth Remembering.

We believe the best safeguard
against impositions of the kind refer
red TO Is a knowledge Of business prin-
eiples, and that the best way to de-
crease their number will be to increase
the diffusion of such knowledge. The
observance of the following simple
rules would do much TO protect farm
ers from loss:
Never sign a promise TO pay money,
without recognizing the fact thatit Is
at least possible you may be called up
on to pay the amount, and being rea-
sonabiy sure you will be able 10 make
the payment.
Never pay money nor promise 10
nav money solely on the representa-
ton Of travelling stranger Of whose
honor and character you know moth
ing.
Never buy any property without
some trustworthy knowledge OF its
value and ike goodness of its title. A
man will look to these matters in the
purchase of a house or horse; why
should he not in buying a patent
right? ~
Never sign any paper without full
knowledge Of its contents, either by
reading it, hearing it read, or By hay.

Why douglass opposes GreeleT.

Douglass speaks Of his personal regard
for Horace Greeley, and then proceeds
70 explain why ne cannot support
him in his eager pursuit for the Pres

bis fortune with party, based upon
personal grievances, and not upon
broad grounds of national good. Per-
sonaI dieappOintmentsy personal en-
Wy, personal resentments, personal

agous as well as cunning, but it's im-
1 possfbIe to commend such an one for
1 political wisdom or virtue. He acts
upon the principle that what is good
for him must be good for the country,
and makes himself greater than the
nation, and afirms that a part Is more
than the the whole. He puts himself
first, the nation last. He may not dc
this consciously, but whether inten-

A young journalist has srecently writ
ten up his experience with a travelling
circus company to which he had at
tached himselffO for the purpose Oflearn-
ing, by practical knowledge, some
thing about life in the circus arena.
He gave himself up to menial services,
and bis purpose was known only 20
the proprietor of the show. His ac-
count Of the mode Of life observed by
the circus people indicates that with
the latter their business is q very earn
est, prOsaie occupation. The glitter
and gilt and spangles Of circus life ex-
ist only in the ring and on the parade.
Instead of finding himselfamOng peo-
pie ofa sometimes questionable sense
Of propriety, he soon learned that his
temporary associates, male and fe-
male, were staid and decOrOus in their
conduct, with all the little anxieties
that vex other classes in the endeavor
to ''get alORg,r not at all dissipated,
and only anxious to seek repOse as
soon as they got home from the ever
ing performances.
In special troupe with which he
identified himself nearly all the time,
the lady performers were the wives of
the male members of the company,
and the moral atmosphere Ofthe show
was unobjectiOnable. The same mat
rimonial relationship existed between
the woman who sold the lemonade,
cake sad candy to the audience, and
the ticket agents and other employees.
In every department of the business
the amateur found that a strict dis
cipline prevailed. All the interiors
were ansWerable to tine superiOns set
over them by the general head, the
proprietor. The insight given into
the life of these people, while materi-
ially different from the popular esti-
mate, which is, on the whole, too often
uncharitabie in its conclusions, is fre-
quently disposed to taboo as wanting
in the better attributes Of human ma

Among really unsOphisticated Rus
SLAMS the practice is universal between

The Morality OF Cards.

Some OF the religious journals have
been indulging in arguments relative
to gambling, in which ideas no less
novel than striking have seen the
lighs. "Can God be glOrified,n asks
the Cllristidn Examiner of Richmond,
Va, cor Christ honored and His cause
advanced, by such abominable games
as smut, euehre, seven-up and old
maid, the very names Of which fe-
male modesty should blush to pro-
nounee?" Rev. George Harding. edi-
tor Of the indianapolis Journal, re-
Plies eve presume not. However,
there are many worse things that
Christians may dc than play cards.
Seyen-up is q Scientific game, useful
as q discipline of the mind. Whist
inculcates the virtue OF silence.
Euchre teaches principles which may
be practically adapted to everyday
life; for instance, the folly of attempt
ing to 20 it alone on weak hand.
This, we presume, settles the question
forevermOre, and we are curious to
learn how Mr.. Tremaine feels now.
In defending Stokes the other day he
said he lOathed q gambler more than
be loathed any human being, and
that such a man would steal the coins
from his dead parents eyes to crafty
his wretched passion. He had no
thought then Of tbesoothing infiuenee
that seven-up exercises over the mind.
He had not learned the virtue Of old
maid, Ot the bliss Of eoppering the ace.
His client could not have been a de-
votee to euchre, or be would never
have gone it alone on weak hand.
The GJ1Fisti0n Examiner has a very
weak case. Its questions remind us
ball wherein the preacher asked:
"Why play this game? Would dy-
ing sinner play base-ball on his death
bed? Then avoid this snare Of Satan,
my hearers"

Why Some Democrats Favor Greeley

The Dover Delawarean, an old-style
Democratic journal, has been giving
the Hplain English" Of the meaning ot
Democratic support of Greeley. 1t
says: 80
iIn plain English, certain members
of Congress whose reflections have
been rendered doubtful by the redis-
trictingOf their States, suppose they can
make politically by fusion with Lib
eral Republicans, and thereby secure
a reelection. They don't care about
Greeley, nor the success of the Demo
cratic party outside of their own dis
trict. They want to be returned to
Congress, and are willing to do any
thing to secure that result. Others
want to be governors or Legislators,
while an innumerable company de-
sire any position they can get, and
hurrah for Greeley because they imag-
inc he may possibly be nominated al
Baltimore, and they wish to be num-
bered among his early friends; Of
which he will be duly reminded if elec'

New York, August 10, 1861.

months after the outbreak of the re-
bellion, and after the first Bull Run
showing that Greeley's secession
heresy was no sudden and temporary
caprice.

A lady once asked a little deaf and
dumb girl, by writing on q slate,
"What is prayer?" Now this little
girl had never said a prayer, for she
could not speak, and she had never
heard prayer, for she was quite deaf;
yet you will find that she well knew
what prayer was. She took and
wrote on the slate this reply: " Pray

EnItanhs.

English churchyards show some
queer epitaphs. When Thomas Meri-
deth, q London organist, died, his
friends had chiseled on his tombstone;
Here lies one blown out OF breath,
Who lived a merry life, and died Aerl-
deth.
Daniel Tears widow commemorated
his virtues in the couLlet:
Though strange, yet true, full seventy years
Was his wife happy in her Tears.
There is an unpleasant vagueness in
the last lines of the epitaph on Dean
Cole, Of Lincoln:
When the latter trump ofheaven shall blow,
Cole now raked up in ashes, then shall glow.
And there is an unpleasant definite
ness in this:
When this liar, cheater, thief
Died, the neighbors found relief
He came to his end
Without friend.
