OUT OF WORK.
BY C. wILLETT DENIK


Where shall turn? am weary and worn
l have wandered about since early this
morn
No sVCS work have found and they without
My bgSsad poor stricken wife and her famishins
Back to my home must my weary feet
And again hear their cries for fire and bread?
What shall I do? Must see day by day,
The bloom from their young cheeks fading
And she. my dear wife, trace in her eyes
The look ofdespair when she hears their
weak cries,
Ny brain seems to reel, no hope can see,
o God! in Thy mercy, deal kindly with
me.
What wild thought is this that steals
through my brain
WHAT sully my name with the felon's dark
Teach these hands to stealg That never
Ahi yes, sooner death for my loved ones
and me.
Aye; wherever they went the brand of the
thief
Would follow their footsteps and bow them
with grief.
But why stand 1 here? ere night closes
The means to buy food by these hands must
be found.
o. 1 cannot beg and meet the cold frown,
IL would freeze my poor heart and crush
my lie down,
| would work these fingers off to the bone
To bring JOY and comfort to my wretched
home.
Cheer up, my heart!-I'll search the city
through
There must be some work for the honest
to do,
In this city of wealh there are hearts, I'm
sure,
10 relieve the wants of the needy and poor,
While hope shines within I'll struggle once
more
To keep off the wolf thatstands at my door.

THE CREDIT MoBlLtER SUIT.-In the
O. S. Circuir Court, in Philadelphia,
yesterday, James f. Gowen opened
the case with ths quietness, clearness
and force which always distinguish him
He explained that this was bill in equi.
ty filed by Henry S. McComD. In March
1866, Henry S. McComb, of Wilmington.
Delaware, man then and now of large
means, aud at that time a very large
stockholder in the Credit Mobilier, Com
pany, was requested by H. e. FAINT, of
Richmond, Va, to subscribe for him
(Fant) tor $50 shares of stock, costing
$4,000. McComb accordingly, went to
the Office in New York and subscribed
for that number of shares on behalf of
FAINT, and gave his own draft on FAINT
for S25 900. The treasurer made an entry
of this on his books, but the draft was
overlooked for nearly two months, when
it was sent to Mr.. FAINT on the 26th of
April. By this tim }, however, FAINT had
repented of his bargain and the draft was
returned. Hearing this McComb said at
once that he would take the stock off of
Fant's hands, and getting power of at.
torney to transfer the stock, McComb
took his own check, marked good" for
S25 900, to the Treasurer and asked for
the certificates of stock. The treasurer
was willing to issue to him the stock, but
said that. the president, DR.. Qurant, had
gone West and not left any certificates
signed in blank therefore the certificates
could not be issued He said it was all
right, though, and he would give re-
-ceipt for the check. This, however, Nc
Comb declined ana they parted, Nc
Comb going to the White Mountains for
the summer, with the tacit understand
ing that his check for the stock was
ready whenever the certificates were.
Then on the 29th of June, 1866, soon after
McColnb had gone away, the treasurer,
McCrane, made a counter entry on his
books for the $50 shares, saying, 'draft
returned unpaid and subscription can
celed. This was done without any nos
tice to McComb.
At this point the hour for adjournment
was reached and Mr.. Gowen will go ON
this morning. The rest of the story is,
however, that McComb subsequently,
made his claim for the stock, which had
gone up considerably in the meanwhile,
the board refused, arguing that the con-
tract for the stockwas merely execut0ry
the price was never paid, the tender was
nugatory and his neglect destroyed all
the pretence of equity. One of Mr.. Nc,
Murtrie's points is that the subscription
such as it was, was made in March, 1866,
and this bill was not filed till thirty-two
months afterwards, a few months after it
had advanced in value beyond the price
contracted for by McComb.

MIR. Glsdstone's resolutions, offered
yesterday in Parliament, though put
forth as his individual views, no doubt
represent the sentiments OF large por-
tion' of the English people. The debate
which will take place upon them next
Monday will be interesting to the whole
of the civilized world.
The Supreme Court of the United
States decided, yesterday, in an oyster
case from Virginia, that the State had
the right to prohibit citizens of other
States from planting oysters in the beds
of tide waters within her jurisdiction,
while permitting her own people to do SO.
Two hundred and fifty additional EN-
ployees of the Bureau of Printing and
Engraving, mostly women, were dis
charged yesterday. This reduces the
force in the Bureau to working stand

BRITISH PROCLAMATION OF NEUT-
RALITY.-Queen Victoria has issued a
proclamation of neutrality in the war
between Russia and Turkey, and warned
her subjects not to violate the laws relat-
ing thereto. This proclamation was to be
expected as a matter Of course. Its effect
is simply to notify enterprlsing and adj
ventlirous Englishmen that if they con-
tinue to trade with either belligerant they
must take the consequences. Il will not
prevent them from sending arms andmu-
nitions OF war or any other commodities
held to be contraband for which if they
succeed in getting them to. their point of
destination they can find a profitable sale.
They take the risks, and the British gov
ernment relieves itself from what would
otherwise be its responsibilities. 81.

A Tramp's Maxims.

In the hip pocket of an Old yagran',
pulled in by the police the o,l'r :iight.
was memorandum book fuil of his
own writing with pencil. ami some Of
his philosophy is good erongh to be
preserved.
His first paragraph reads:
Drinking bad whisky becausc it rs
offered free. is like getting in the way
of bullets purchased by an enemy
A second reads:
Honesty is the best policy. but SOME
folks are satisfied with second best. IL
is hard to be honest on an empty stom-
ach.'
A third runs,
"a dry plank under rainproot she
is better than feather bed in jail, and
one isn't annoyed by the jaiior bringing
10 square breakfast
A fourth says:
PAY as you go II you haven't any
thing TO pay with don't go. Ii you are
forced to 90. record every Indebtedness
and let your heirs settle the bill
The fifth explains itself
I'VE should have charity tor all.
When the winter winds blow cold and
drear we yags should pity the poor fell
lows in India who arc having rcdhot

A sixth IL recorded: ~
"Politeness costs nothing. bnt it Is
not expected that you should wake up
man at midnight to ask permission to

courteous TO let him enjoy the needed
repose."
She seventh and last was noted down

The sudden accession Of heat has al

A Railroad Paying its Employees In
Silver.

The Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany are now paying their train, yard,
and office men exclusively in silver.
Men who lad a few hundred dollars due
them were loaded with coin when the
pay car arrived here yesterday, and for
once seemed 10 have more money than
they could conveniently carry. While
the company, without the sanction Of
Congress, have made silver coin a ten
der ior all amounts due their employees,
with that inconsistency for which power
full corporations are becoming notorious,
they refuse 10 receive such coin for fares
or freight for any amount over five dol
lars. II an employee Of the company,
who received his two months wages in
silver yesterday, had freight brought
here BY rail to-day he would have to pay
all charges above five dollars in gold.
The agents, acting under instructions
from the company, would not receive
the silver paid him for his labor, even at
a discount. This is one of the arbitrary
and despotic DEGREES which make people
distinguish the Central Pacific Railroad
Company from other corporations bv
