Bagging Ten Thousand.

Weed had about as much system 10
keeping his accounts (aud his money!
as Micawber. He was little great
man. though, and had that grain of
good sense which suggested to him
the propriety Of placing any specific
sum of money which he didn't want
TO spend at random, in the hands of
some tinancier friend In 1856 "T.
W" came TO New York and received
s25, 600 from his Republican friends
$4,000 for the purpose Of defeating
Fillmore for President, $4,000 for the
use of the Republicans in Albany and
$4,000 for the EOenjng Journal For
safe keeping be gave the Albany Cen.
tral Committee $1,000, placed TO the
Journals credit, and requested his
partner Mr.. Sinclair, | believe,) to
place the secret $4,000 TO be used
against his old friend EiImorc) to his
(Sinclair's) credit in bank, which could
be drawn us required. He did So
One fine morning Sinclair dropped
dead from heart diseas. The $4,000
stood to bis personal credit without q
word Of explanation. In vain Thur.
low Weed sought the ear Of the bank
officers. They could do nothing -
The executors of the estate found the
$40, 900 to Mr. Sincair's credit. They
could not, without proof, hand it over
to Mr. Weed or his political friends.
Thus it was swept into the dead mans
estate and into the hands Of his iasci.
mating widow. Not dollar was used
to defeat the placid Millard Fillmore.
A year thereafter, the honorable cx.
President from Buffalo and the charm.

attracted by that mysterious infueucc
presided over by Venus. A few
months later they were united by the
Ihymenial knot, and poor Weed saw
his darling $4,000, raised to defeat
Mr.. fillmore in 1856, diverted from its
original purpose into the unsuccessful
candidates "marriagc portion % 1t is

Ancient Morality.

OF the moral characteristics of carly
cities we should be glad to know more,
how the quiet course Of domestic lfo
glided on beneath the walls Of Karnak
and the tower Of Belusj what virtues
were priced what joys or sorrows
disturbed the current Of existence
How far the modern city cxccls the
ancient in good order or tranquility is
difficult to determine. Yet some in
dications Of moral progress may DO
discovered, The corruption Of Baby
Ion and Thebes was followed, after
the lapse of centuries, by the higher
culture Of Greece. Athens taught hu-
manity. No gladatorial shows nor
human sacrifices were permitted by
its progressive people Demos.henes
boasted that his life had been passed
in the service Of his native city, and
in q constant effort TO win the esteem
Of his fellow. citizens; Perices, that
no Athenian had ever suffered by his
fault. Benevoence and charity were
cultivated in all the Greek cities. The
name Of Gillias Of Agrigentum is pre-
served, whose immense fortune was
wholly employed in aiding the indi.
gent and providing for the welfare of
others-the Coutts or Peabody of an
tiquily. Integrity was priced as tho
chief of civic virtues. TO make profit
from public Office was an unpardona-
bic crime. Pericles boasted that he
had never increased his moderate in
heritance by single drachma through
all his long tenure Of office. Aristdes
was known as the Uneorrupt. In tho
purer days Of Rome the great lived in
poverty, and Fabricious cooked his
own simple fare. Cato was so careful
of his honor that he weighed aud ac.
counted for all the gold he brought
from the East. Regulus, rather than
violate an oath, went back cheerfulIy
to slavery and death, leaving his fam.
lily dependent on charity. OF all the
plumber Of wealthy Carthage he took
nothing. Horace has painted, in the
grandest of his lyrics, tue man Of con.
scious integrity, who, intent on somo
noble aim, defes the rage of tyrants
or the clsmor Of the people, Juvenal
and Tacitus, in dealhess satires, hold
up to a degenerate age the rigor OF
ancient honesty. Lycurgus was for
twelve years the comptroller of Athens
in its last decline. Millions of revenue
passed through his hands, yet every
fourth year his accounts were audited
and were found TO be rigidly correct,
At length, when he was dying, he de.
manded u new examination. The au-
ditors reviewed his long career; his
accounts were again declared to DO
perfectly accurate; they were engrav-
ed on marble tablets, and the Athenian
comptroller died happy in the approval
Of his own conscience and of his native
city. Fragments of the marble tables,
it is said, have been discovered at
Athens, and might prove instructive
models for modern fnanciers.-Rdr-

SHALL We MEET AGAIN THE fol.

But the fiat OF nature is incxorable
There is no appeal for relief from the

Ku-Klux Outrage.

A clerical gent, sent out to hunt up
ku Klux outrages to make political
capital in the North, travelling through
the country in buggy, overlook =
handsome young woman, walking and
carrying babe in her arms, which
was closely veiled. lie entered into
conversation with her, found she was
going some distance on his road, and
being very charitable, offered her
seat in the buggy, which she accepted.
As he drove on he found that sho
would not reach her destination that
night, so be, with his broad charity,
kindly proposed that if she would 90
to hotel with him that night, ho
would introduce her as his wife, and
foot the bill in the morning. Green.
backs being scarce with her, to this
she consented. The parson drove up
to---tavern and called for lodging
for himself, lady aud child, (the child
being all the time veiled.) Supper
being over the parson complained of
wearinoss, and desired to be shown to
their room, which was done. He re-
tired to rest, the lady prepared her
child, and laid it in bed by the parson,
saying she wished to step out a mo.
ment. The child soon commenced
iretting and crying most furiously,
aud all his lulabys and caresses would
not quiet it. The good old landlady
hearing the screams of the little fel-
low, concluded to go up and see il any
thing was needed. On entering sbe
inquired what was the matter. The
parson said its mother had stepped
out and the child was fretting. The
old lady took the child up and went
to the light with it, and on beholding
its face Immediately turned to the
preacher and said, as this your child%
Ho said Eyes" "Well bless God "
said the old lady, OTIS a niger" The
parson swooned, and the mother never
returned Ia.

happy expedient to relieve this ooun-
try from the curse of cheap Chinese
labor. While admitting that We have
no right TO make laws 10 prevent any
peaccable man from coming to oui

that we can legally prohibit the cx

those now here to leave Immediately

SMILE WHENtER YOU CAN.
when things don't go to suit you,
And the world seems upside down,
Don't waste your time in fretting,
But drive away that frown
Since life is oft perpleSing,
'Tis much the wiscst plan
To bear all trials bravely,
And smile whene'er you can.
Why should you dread tomorrow,
And thus dcspoil to-dayl
For when you trouble borrow,
Nlou always have to pay.
1t is n good old maxim,
Which should be often preached,
"Don't cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge is reached"
You might be spared much signing,
If you would keep In mind
The thought that good aud evil
Are always here combined;
There must be something wanting,
And though you roll in wealth,
You may miss from out your casket
That precious jewel-health.
And though you're strong and sturdy,
You may have an empty purscj
land earth has many trials
Which consider worseO
But whether joy or sorrow
Fill up your mortal span,
Twill make your pathway brighter,
To smile wheneer you can.

A LOST AET.-Many will probably
regret to hear, from an eminent En-
glish authority, that the time honored
art of swearing" is fast dying out in
that country. Good solid old exple-
tiyes and objurgations are now rarely
heard from other than very old men,
and even theirs are Of bastard origin,
not dating back beyond the French
and American wars. The new gener-
alton don't swear: it substitutes slang
instead, much to the disgust Of loving
grandfathers, who studied and adj
mired the accomplishment in use in
their day as one OF the fine arts
The same authority yet encourages
us little by informing us that the art
is not entirely lost but still lingers in
provincial localities and among OBJ
scure classes. You can yet recognize
the natal counties of the rural popula-
ton by their peculiar oaths, which,
although not patented, have been Sc
cured by hereditary succession. In
time it is feared that swearing will
lose even this hold upon the English
people, and thus pass away, to be en-
shrincd in history as one of "the lost
rts."-Iimes.
