Is IT VIRTUE OR VICE 2

President Grant has one virtue which
very nearly lapses l'to a vice, and that is
the persistency illustrated by his letter to
Thomas Murphy with which he sticks to a
friend whom he believes to be honest and
true. All the clamOr in the world will not
stir him. His removal, therefore, of his
brOther-in-law, Collector Casey, of New Or
leans, is a rebuke to that officer for his un-
warrantable interference with the politics
OF the State, and his use of a revenua cutter
to help break up the Louisiana Legisla-
ture.-Ne,0 York Independent
We may conclude, therefore, from the
language of his own friends, that his non
removal "of his brother-in-law" is an ap-
proval ''of that officer for his unwarrant-
able interference with the politics of the
State, and his use of revenue cutter to
help break up the Louisiana Legislature

"Two souls with but single thought
Two hearts that beat - one" All, yes
There may be snch thing indeed,
But for me, must confess,
Two souls with not one single thought
In common, is the case just here:
Two hearts that beat in different time,
And mino-indlfleront quite fosr.
All, me there was a time when
Imagined love was something truo,
When life was sunshine DER and DER,
And joys for me formed ever new,
The river-bank whereon we sit
To-day, with pulses dull and slow,
Was once the trysting-pace whore Two,
With elasped hands, watched the waters flow
But all two soon that dream was DER;
learned a lesson hard, though true;
The romance Of this life ia short,
And love, I find, is shorter too.

SCHOOLS FOR ScoLDING.-Some evi-

mittee in the earlier part of the present
century shows that the street language
was in former days taught as an art.
about two years ago, says the witness

night school, not for the purpose of in.
structing children, but for the sole pur-
pose of teaching them tle street language
that il, to scoid: this was for females
particularly. One girl according to this
curious declaration to me, would act the
part of Mother Barlow and the other
Mother Cummins; these were the ficti.
tious names they gave. The old woman
instructed the children in all the masnu-
vres of scolding and clapping their hands
at each other, and making use of the
infamous expressions they use. This
led them into the most disgraceful
scenes. When these children met, if
one entered into the department of the
other, the next day they were prepared
to defend their stations and to excite a

Poor CuRATEs. -Rev. Robert Collyer
relates the following anecdote in illustra-
ton of the poverty and struggles often
encountered and borne by the poor
curates of London; 81 had, in the sum
mer of 1871, q talk with a clergyman in
the church of England, who was then
rector of a church which gave him a very
fair living; but before this he had been
curate in London with very large
family, rs ministers generally have, and
an income of less than hundred pounds
year--not more than eighty if my
memory serves me. 1t was desperate
work, he said, to make ends meet--so
desperate that there came Il time when
there was not penny or crust left in
the house or pint of milk for the
BARNS. Then, he said, 4 sat down to
think what l should do; and when made
up my mind about the course | must
take, l went up to my wife las noble and
trce woman as ever this world heard
of and said, MY dear, we have done
our very best and this is the end, Now,
will tell You what we must do. We are
citizens of London, have paid our rates
and taxes right along, and are entitled
to all the help there is. We will go to
tine poorhouse tomorrow morning and
ask them to take us in. We have a per-
feet right to go there, and we will 90. >"
She said, THAT is right, and began at
once to get ready for the poorhouse, but
that day | got letter from some one,
five pc mds, There was no
signature; | don't know to this day who
sent it, but that five pounds saved us
from taking that step, and tided us over

stroke thrust it into his neck, just above
the breast-bone, the knife passing down

OF about five inches, and inficting
wound in the aorta, about one half an
inch wide. The blood in the road indi-
Gated that he had walked about six rods
after the fatal stab before he fell. He
had sheathed the knife and held it in his
night hand, his hand resting on his
breast. There were no signs of a scuffle.

JusT TAKEN HIS BIrrERs.-We heard
seedy locking individual with an
alarmingly red nose remark to brother
soaker that he had "just had his bitters,

reflection. How was tive asked ourselves
that the word " bitters' had grown to
be Il synonym for gin. whiskev, rum,
and other alcoholic stimulants, to which
it was applied Unfortunately. Bitters,

A DIAMOND SENSATION. The Nep
York World gives us the latest diamo nd
sensation in the shape of story sign ed
by James II. Martin, purporting to tell
how friend discovered how to manu-
facture diamonds by the hundreds, and
how he has done it in detail and has
made millions of dollars worth thereof
which have, a large portion of them, been
put upon the markets of the world The
discovery, it is claimed, consists in sud
denly chilling and thus crystalizing car
bonnie !acid gas-by eliminating from it
the oxygen and absorbing it with neu
trala. This is the brief two-column
statment of the process and material
used. Mr.. Martin asserts that on We'd
nesday, September 25tb, he saw his
friend make 600 diamonds, weighing, in
the aggregate, eleven pounds and four
ounces; and Tuesday night, October l,
he saw him produce 92l more weighing
ten pounds eleven ounces. Mr.. Martin
asserts that the inventor Of this process
has manufactured by it about fifteen
pounds of diamonds and has
of about eight hundred pounds,
having still unsold about seven hundred
pounds. Those disposed of have brought
him an average Of about $4,000 per
pound or S24,000,000. He has now
about seven hundred pounds in the
hands of agents from whom he is receiv-
ng advices daily. The inventor gave
Mr.. Martin the secret because he did not
