Transmission to Albany. The. mer.
chants in the neighborhood of Broad

greatly excited over the statement
made BY VIM. L. Allen, a out!e mer-
chant of Pearl street, that fifteep
thousand dollars had been paid to
Mrs. Avery J. Putnam, the widow oil
Fosters victim, forsigning the letter
recently sent by her to Governor Dix
Allen, whose. wife is relative Of
Mrs. Putnam; says the money paid
her for signing the letter came from
q rich relative Of Foster. -
In view Of the publicity Of the fact,
. large number Of merchants have
prepared petition To the Governor,
praying him to wholly ignore.all Pc
titions, letters, &C., in consideration
of the unholy mean employed to de-
feat the ends of justice in Foster 5
case. and to decide only on the points
of law of the evidence, such as the
corrupting influence Of money has

have signed the petition are allpromi-

On the old. old home.
The heart has many passages
Through which the feelings roam,
But its middle aisle is sacred
To the thoughts of old, old home. =
Where INFANCY was sheltered =

Where girlhood's brief elysiutn
In joyousnesS was passed;
To that sweet spot forever,
As to some hallowed dome,
Life's pilgrim bends her vision
'is her old, old home.
A father sat, how proudly,
BY that old hearths.one's rays,
And told his children stories
OF his early manhood's days;
And one soft eye was beanltng,
From child to child 'twould roam;
Thus mother counts her treasures
In the old, old home.
The birthday gifts and festivals,
The blended vesper hymn,
Some dear one who wss swelling 1t
Is with the seraphi,n.)
The fond "good nights at bed time
How quiet sleep would come,
And fold US all together
In the old, old home.
Like wreath Of scented flowers
Close intertwined each heart; :.
But time and change in concert
; Have blown the wreath apart.
But dear and sainted memories
Like angels ever come,
If I fold my armsiand ponder

A BAD IM1rAr1oN.-"Mrs. Wood
ruff. of Salem county, was SO fright
ened on hearing that her husband
had been thrown from his sleigh,
which, after all, was a mistake, that
her life is despaired Of" So said one
of our New Jersey exchanges of last
week. In its issue of Saturday this
same journal says: William Adell
heard of the Woodruff case mention
ed by us last week, and, for reasons
that may be guessed, sent word home
that he had been thrown from his
sleigh and was dead. To make the
thing sure. he got a couple Of friends
to cart him home on a shutter. His
feelings may be better imagined than
described when, just as he arrived at
his house, he met Mrs. Adefl starting
out with Charles Sandford, Of New
ton township, to the parsonage Of
Rev. Mr.. Jones, and heard his wife
say: Please put the corpse in the
back. kitchsnr Charley; and I'll fix for
the funeral after, We REMARKED. ."

HInto the Jaws" &c.

1t is in vein OF. grim humor that
the Florida editor tells Of the death
of another distinguished citizen by
means of the mechanical, power in the
jaws of the sportive alligator" He
says:
The deceased was a. victim Of
misplaced confidence. It does not do
to place too much dependence upon
the respect and affection of alligators.
The open-hearted. man lately caught
one Of these playful and pleasing
creatures and cultivated his acquain-
tance with loving assiduity: He gave
him chunks of beef on his best pitch
fork and threw him hams from his
own larder. Growing in intimacy,
he entered his premises to pat the
back of the. animal. A twinkle. OF

The Public Debt.
injurious

The fearful taxation pressing on our peo-
ME. forces them to a strict inquiry into the
legality of the public debt. The necessity
of providing annually for the interest on
about fifty millions of debt, is in itself the
source of q most oppressive tax rate. Out
of the enormous tax proposed to be put on
us BY our Conservative city government,
tax of three per cent, about one half is
destined to pay interest. The current ex-
penditure list indeed is outrageous for
city as badly in need of economy as New
Orleans, and would be outrageousifuointe
est had to be paid. That list ought to be cut
down to one half, sayoa tax of three
quarter per cent, but We leave that out of
the question for the present and limit our
remarks to the interest item.
One and half per cent per annum to
nav interest on city debts, besides State
debt, almost equally fearful, to provide for,
is enough to make men look seriously into
the equities and obligations Of the matter.
The grand question presents itself most
forcibly, and must hereafter loom up on
the public vision more distinctly than here
tofore: "Do we really owe these debts =
There 10 no DOUBT tDaC the paper eEA-
dences of debt exist to the extent claimed,
bat do the people really owe the money I
Mr.. Smith, for instance, holds one thous-
and dollar bond of this city, signed in &C.
cordance with a resolution of the Council,
which itself was in precise accordance with
an act of the Legislature, either creating
the city charter or giving express powers !;
do the people necessarily owe him that
amount of money!

Two Stories Of the Time, with a Moral.

A hard working mechanic, with flock
of little ones dependent on him, has ex.
perienced of late a poor mans luck"
Out of work for months, sickness, doctors
bills, and a new baby, needs every day,
and no means to supply the needs. Proud,
but young and hopeful, he sought for work
everywhere, anxious to do anything for
his family. After several weeks search he
succeeded in obtaining employment, and
went home overjoyed, to tell of his pros
perity. One week passed, and pay time
came. With his fellow workman, he went
forward to receive the wages which should
carry so much comfort in his modest
home. He was met with cold looks and
colder words his wages were trusted"
and he, according to their invartable rule,
discharged from the service. The poor man
staggered under the blow he grew dis
heartened and doubtful. How could he,
an humble labOrer, tell these, his employ
ers, the whole story of sickness, sunerlpg,
aud trial They were rich and he poor
they prosperous and he condemned. So
he went ont from among his fellows, his
pride too deeply wounded to stay where
he was known, and his courage killed out
right for want ola helping hand:
The wife watched and waited, but he did
not come. To-day he wanders among
strangers, while the little ones lack, if they
the poor wife's portion, and diegrace the
| inheritance of the children. And all this
suffering is tho work of one man, who
could not wait, or even forgive the paltry
debt due for fuel, amounting to less than
five dollars. The merchant in his COM
Portable home, surrounded by his own
children, takes no heed Of the sorrow he
has wrought. s'He owed me and got the
money! says this modern Shylock and
the little babes weeping for their mother,
who is earning their bread, while she
leaves them with strangers, do not trouble
him. He has laid up an account which he
must one day meet where riches and posi-
ton do not balance justice and mercy
where the harshness of mans laws will
stand out boldly in the light of eternal
truth.
We turn with pleasure from such pic
ture to the brightness and manliness OF
another, which forms delightful contrast
and treasures US concerning the latent
tenderness of even very busy business
men. An overworked city physician was
recently requested by widow to present
his bill for long continued services in hel
family. 81 will pay it by installements.'
she said, Gas soon as am once more able
to earn" The next day the bill was sent
including services and medicines fol
months, but receipted. Underneath the
signature was written: "He that givett
} to the poor lendeth to the Lord. I owe
Him so much 4; permit me to lend Him."

A Short Sermon From Archbishop Manning.

At q recent demonstration in Trafalgar
Square, London, over 5000 persons being pres
ent, Archbishop Manning in the course of his
address said that having had their "autumn
maueuvres," they would now go into huts for
the winter, and 30 from this time forward they
would have meetings in the great halls and
schoolrooms all through the winter. They had
been most successful in making teetotalers in
the past summer and autumn, and he would
shortly ascertain the number added to their
ranks. He asked those who heard him to each
fix upon some friend who loved drinking, and
pray for him, but not approach him with q
long face or with preaching-for he OR. Man
nng) knew what it was to preach, and he could
get but few to listen. But let them tell their
drinking friend that he was robbing his wife
taking the bread out of the mouths of his chill
dren, pulling the clothes off their backs and the
shoes off their feet and let them ask him how
he could be such fool. Let them bring such
q man to him and he should be happy to see
him. The desire and prayer of his heart was
that there should not be in all London any
Catholic man or woman who did not live as
! practical Catholic. Next, he wanted to have
every Catholic child in q Catholic school. How
could that be brought aboutf By every father
and mother being an example of sobriety. If
every man and woman in his flock gave up
drink, every one of their homes would be q
peaceful and a happy home-fathers and moth.
ers would live in peace, and their children
! would be obedient and in schools. He did not
wish to be An enemy to publcans or the like,
and he hoped they did not think he had any
ill-will towards them. He only wished they
| had o better trade. Let them set up in q bet
ter trade, and he hoped they might grow rich
If they could not get any ether way of stop
ping drinking he proposed q great strike, and
the strike would be this: Let them make VI
their minds to be locked out " of the public
houses, and get all their friends to join then
in the strike. He honored and loved the work
ing man who gave up drink. He did not thinl
much of fine people giving it up. They die
not labor toll; they did not spend theil
strength. Still, if they gave up drink it wa
| blessing to them. But when the working
man, who used his strength all the day long
gave up drink, he honored that man, because
he had shown he had strength of will to d.
what was right. Having called upon womeI
to give up drink, and children not to taste it
the archbishop concluded, amid loud cheers
by asking those who were not teetotalers tx
take the pledge, and those who were to 70
new it.

1t is not the best things-that is, the things
that call best-that make men; it is not
the pleasant things it is not the calm expe-
riences of life; it is life's rugged experiences,
its tempests, its trials. The discipline of life
is here good and there evil, here trouble, and
there joy, here rudeness and there smoothness,
ton of the one and the other, which necessi-
tate adaptations, constitute part of that edu-
cation which makes q man man, in distinc-
ton from an animal, which has no education.
The successful man invariably bears the marks
of struggles which he has had to undergo, on
his brow.
