A Liternry Coineidence.

To the Editor Of the Ledger:
The expression, bird singing in the
heart" played a prominent part in the
Tilton-B eeehet trial, and so far as lhave
seen, seems to be attributed to Mr..
Beecher as original. Now, if any one
will turn to the eighth chapter of Sir
Walter SCOTS Abbott" he will there
find Magdalen Graeme expressing
delight that her grandson kept the bird
safe in his bosom" referring to his relig-
ious faith. What is still more curious,
it does not seem to have been original
with Sir Walter, as the expression was
used by a Sir Fred Lacy as far back as
l746, in reference to his loyalty to the
House of Lancaster. Thus it seems that
the idea conveyed by this expression,
made so much Of lately, instead Of being
new is almost four hundred years old. |
would not, however, impute plagiarism
to Mr.. Beecher on this account, as many
distinguished writer's, Sir Walter Scott
among them, have unconsciously appro-
priated the ideas Of previous writers.
Yours, MIRABILE DIcTU.

THE RIVER.

The unprecedented and continued rise
in the Wabash river, which is higher
than for many years, has caused an in.
creased rise in the Ohio at Paducah, and
at the same time checked the decline at
Cairo, after a fall of Eve inches at that
point. AS there are no signal stations
on the Wabash, it would be mere conjec-
ture to say when the decline in that river
will reach the Ohio. At Evansville,
forty miles above the mouth of the
Wabash, the Ohio has declined eight or
ten inches, and the rapid decline of the
Ohio will reach Cairo within one or two
days, Notwithstanding the rise of the
Wabash; but we cannot reasonably hope
for several days, though we believe it will
not rise alter to-day.

turned to him the principal and a small rate
Of interest added, and in addition has an OPP
portunity to draw a premium ranging from
$50 to 100000.

course, which result in culture, the qnes-
whether they will ever rise to occupy
place where there is room enough for
them will be decided in the negative,
The young physicians and young lawyers
who sit idly in the offices, and smoke and
lounge away the time waiting for some
thing to turn up are by that court fas-
tening themselves for life to the lower
stratum, where their struggle for bare
livelihood is to be perpetual The first
ten years are golden years, that should
be filled with systematic reading and OBJ
servation. Everything that tends to pro
fessional and personal excellence should
be an object Of daily pursuit.
To such men the doors of success open
of themselves at last Work seeks the
best hands, as naturally as water runs
down hill ; and it never seeks the hands of
the trifer, or of one whose only recon-
mendation for work is that he needs it.
Young men do not know very much any
way. and the time always comes to those
who become worthy, when they look back
with wonder upon their early good opln-
ion of their requirements and themselves.
There is another point that ought not TO
be overlooked in the treatment OF this
subject.-YOung men look about them
and see a great measure OF worldly sue
cess awarded to men without principle.
They see the trckster crowned with pub
lie honors. they see the swindler rolling
in wealth, they see the sharp man, the
Oyerreaching man, the unprincipled man,
the liar, the demagogue. the time-server,
the trimmer, the scoundrel who cunning
ly managers, though constantly disobey-
ing moral law and trampling upon social
courtesy, to keep himself out of the
clutches of the legal police, carrying off
the prizes Of wealth and place.-All this
is a demoralizing puzzle and fearful temp
tation and multitudes OF young men are
not strong enough to stand before it. They
ought to understand that in this wicked
world there is great deal of room where
there is integrity. Great trusts may be
sought by scoundrels, but great trusts
never seeks them and perfect integrity is
at a premium even among scoundreis.
There are some trusts that they will never
confer on each other. There are occa-
sions when they need the services Of true
men, and they do not find them in shoals
and in the mud, but alone and in pure
water.
In the realm of eminent requirements
and eminent integrity there is always
room enough. Let no young man of in
dustry and perfect honesty despair be-
cause his profession Or calling is crowded.
Let him always remember that there is
room at the top. and that the question
whether he is ever to reach the top, or
rise above the crowd at the base of the
pyramid, will be decided by the way in
which he improves the first ten years of
his active life in securing to himself a
thorough knowledge of his profession, and
q sound moral and intellectual culture
