The Hon. j. b. BECK, of Kentucky, pub
fishes letter in the Washington Post, in
which he says
"Turning to page AS of the journal Of
the House OF REPRESENTATIVES, January q,

General Hancock laid on the table by vote
OF So Republicans to % Democrats, Gene
raj Garfield being one of the Sc. had the
honor to be among the 2S. The Demo.
cratic party propose TO reverse that vote"
President JOHNSON had sent message to
Congress asking that body to take some
commendatory notice of General HANcoCK's
famous orders issued when he assumed
command in Texas, &c. 1t was no doubt
tor this reason that the resolution OF
thanks referred to was offered by some
Democrat. Mr.. GARFIELD had the little
ness to vote against that resolution. That
vote is now held up in Judgment against
him,

A Mortgage.

In the whole range of sacred
and profane literature, perhaps
there is nothing recorded which
has such staying properties as a
good mortgage. A mortgage can
be depended upon to stick closer
than a friend or a brother. 1t
has a mission to perform which
never lets up. Day after day it is
right there, nor does the slightest
tendency to slumber impair its Wig
or in the night. Night and day,
on the Sabbath and at holiday
times, without a moments time for
rest or recreation, the biting off
spring of its observation-disclosures
goes on. The season may change,
days run into weeks, weeks into
months, to be swallowed up in the
gray man of advancing years, but
the mortgage stands up in Sleep
less vigilance, with the interest a
perennial stream, ceaselessly run
ming on. Like hugh nightmare
eating out the sleep of some rest
less slumberer, the unpaid mort
gage rears up its gaunt front in
perpetual torment to the miserable
wight who is held in its pitiless
clutch. 1t holds the poor victim
in the relentless grasp of a giant
not one hour of recreation not a
moments evasion of its hideous
presence. A genial savage of mol
lifying aspect while the interest is
paid; the very devil of destruc-
tion when the payments fail.

VIM. Wirt's letter to his daugh-
ter on the small, sweet courtesies
of life, contains passage from
which a great deal of happiness
may be learned: 81 want to tell
you a secret. The way to make
yourself pleasing to others is to
show them that you care for them.
The whole world is like the miller
at Mansfield who cared for no.
body-no, not he-for nobody
cared for him. And the whole
world would serve you so if you
gave the same cause. Let every
one, therefore, see that you do
care for them by showing them
what Sterne so happily calls the
small courtesies, in which there is
no parade, whose voice is too still
to tease, and which manifest them
selves by tender and affectionate
looks and little kind acts of atten-
tion, giving to others the prefer
ence in every little enjoyment at
the table, in the field, walking,
sitting, or standing"

A manuscript supposed to have
been written by st. Peter, has been
lately discovered among the pro-
perty Of a man named Bore, who
died last year at Jerusalem, at the
age of 100. The style of the
work has led to the conclusion
that it is authentic, and it is stated
that the London Bible Society,
which has dispatched a committee
to the spot, has offered Bore's heirs
the sum of 100000 for its poss-
ession. The heirs, however, re-
fuse to part with the manuscript,
though it seems probable that they
will allow the society to reproduce
and translate it.
