He Wouldn't read Monday Paper.

There was one exemplary man among
the directors and officers of the City of
Glasgow Bank who squandered seven
millions of money confided to their
charge. This was Lewis Potter. Five
years ago he built the Burbank Free
Church, and became responsible for the
greater portion of the cost of the fabric,
and in consequence of this liberality en-
joyed great fame for pious zeal and be-
nevolence. During all the years when,
according to the inspectors report, he
actively assisted in falsifying the ac-
counts, in making away with the cash
reserve, and in deceiving the sharehold-
ers and the public, he steadily refused
to take in or read Mondays newspaper,
because they were printed on the first
day of the week. OF William Taylor,
also, another director, it is remarked
that he occupied a prominent position
as President of the Glasgow Young
Mems Christian Association, and as a
representative on several occasions of
st. Enoch's Church in the General As
sembly.

another box of blazing crackers among
them, and followed It up by more bull
lets.
The children at last found means to
barricade the window, and did not dare
= to open It until the sun was up.
Their father and mother returned soon
after dawn. Maria, finding the road
blocked by the fallen trees, had been
forced to go back to Supplies. Jan and
she had walked home across the hills in
the night, full of anxious forebodings
about the children.
Peter Jansen is now middle-aged
man, who went through all the battles
in Virginia; but he is never tired of
telling of the night when he and Greta
fought the evil spirits with fire-crackers.

A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we love is still
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
Hour after hour we saw him fade,
And gently sink away;

That he might longer stay.
Past his suffering past his pain,
Cease to weep for tears are vain
Calm the tremor of your breast,
For dearest Father is at rest.

Lecture by Hon. D. W. Voorhees,.

Mount Vernon Methodist Episcopal church
was crowded Friday night last TO hear Hon.
D. w. VOORHEES,, U. s. Senator from Indiana,
deliver lecture on '.Thomas Jefferson
Mr.. VOORHEES, read In a well modulated
aoice, in which a tone of pathos predominn.ed,
two hours review Of the marked events in
he NE OF Thomas jefferson, couched in Lam
guage Of the highest eulogy. The lecturer ex-
pressed the most exalted ideas Of Jefferson as
statesman, diplomat, philosopher aud friend
of humanity. He said bitter controversies in
regard to his opinions and principles were ex-
cited during his life which have not as is
usual, ceased over his grave. The antago-
nism TO Jefferson arose from his AUTHORSHIP Of
the law abolishing entailed estates. and dis
solving all connection between Church and
State in Virginia, and the monarchca pro-
cliviies Of Hamilton, John Adams and others,
which jefferson disclosed to the world. His
sympathy with the French revolution also
made him enemies. The great acts for which
his fame will live forever, besides the laws
mentioned, were the Declaration of lndepen
dence, the ordinance by which Virginia gave
the great Northwest Territory to the Union,
in which he inserted a clause making II free
territory forever; general educational law
for Virginia; a law making il penal TO intro
duce slaves from Africa into Virginia; and
'ne treaty Win france, ny which tue vast er-
ritory of the Mississippi valley was acquired
without spilling one drop of blood or one act
Of wrong, and policy OF inestimabe impor-
lance 10 the progress of this country thus es-
tablshed. He also founded the University OF
Virginia.
Jefferson was one OF the most learned men
of his time, and OF elegant and polished man
uers. He was feet q inches tall. He was
the author of the American dollar and its
subdivisions into dimes and cents. The New
York and Erie canal was his original idea.
Lewis and Clark's expedition, that gave the
world its first available knowledge Of the vast
Northwestern section Of the country, was due
to his fertile mind. His first inaugural sounds
like an oracle of the principles of human lib
erty. In it are the words. 1.-THE honest pay
ment of our debts and the sacred observance
Of the public faith"
