sad Picture.

1t was an old man, seventy years Of age, being
accOsted as to where he was going-an old man
with snow white locks, trembling limbs, and a
voice like child's who said" I'm jogging
along TO the poor-house Pm old, weak and
sick and no one wants me. I've been rich, always
had q good name, and have read my Bible, but
I'm going to the poor-hoase after ALL" He tried
to speak lightly Of the affair, but he broke down
before he had finished, and there could not have
been a sadder sight than 10 see him with the
tears falling down his Wrinkled cheeks. Fortune
plays strange freaks with the wealth which mer
strive to accumulate, and Of which they never
have enough, but she ought TO be gentle will
those tO.Whom age hath brought gray hairs anc

First find something to say, and then
say it. We would apply this to the Gen
eral Assembly. 1t was their business to
find something to do, and then do it. They
have been in session over two months.
They have consumed great deal of time
in speeches, reports, resolutions. the pre-
wous questions of privilege, personal allu-
sions and explanations. They have used
up at least ene weeks time in Saying "Mr.
Speaker" and in asking each other ques-
tions-a novelty III legislation, which came
in at the same time with the pronuncia-
tion of the words voice. vote, invested,
valid, invalid. voice, vote. invested, valid.
aud which has reached the highest perfec-
tion it is capa5le of. They have gone
through the formula and farce of electing
several officials They have had warm
fires, bright gas lights, easy chairs to loll
in, elegant spittoohs, plenty OF stationery,
and sundries inaumerable They have
taken Saturdays, generally. for recreation.
and sometimes Mondays, too! ! During
the intervals of their. Arduous. legislative
work, they have INDUCED in the pretty
pestime of billiards and cards, and the
substantial enjoyment Of oysters and ac-.
Compartments. They have only refreshed
their inner man as became loyal servants
Of thesState, with the peoples money in
their pockets. But we submit that the
joke has gone for enough. Allplay and
no work makes-well, We don't know
what but it is against the Constitution.
If we were bold, we would advise little
more despatch.
