TRUE no HIS OATH.

One morning about ten years ago the
Parisian public were made aware of the
fact that the confidential clerk of Mon
sieur LaurIn, well-known banker, had
absconded with the sum OF nearly ], 200.
600 francs. Large payments were due
that day by the banker, to meet which
he had been relying upon this sum. A
run upon the bank followed, and that
evening his name was among the list Of
banlrupts. Detectives had, Of course,
instantly been put upon the track Of the
absconding clerk, and, just as he was
stepping on the boat at Calais to cross
the channel, he was arrested and con
veyed hack to Paris.
When arrested, he seemed Mortified
at the charge against him, and earnestly
protested his innocence. This was but
atural under the circumstances, and
did not have the least impression upon
he officers but one thing that did puz-
zle them was the fact that no trace OF
the money he had stolen could be found.
At his trial the evidence against him was
TOO strong to admit of any doubt Of his
guilt. The banker swore that on the
previous day he had given the clerk
several orders upon the treasury,
amounting in all to between 900, 600
and 100000 francs, with instructions,
after getting them cashed, to return to
the bank, and deposit the money in the
vault, of which he alone, beside the
banker himself, knew the combination.
Evidence was forthcoming from the
Treasury Department that he had re
celved the money, but the evidence Of
the other employees was definite that he
had not returned to the bank during
business hours, while the janitor was
confident he had not done SO afterward

PASSING AWAY.
NJ MRS. P. 0. TYLER.

Passing sway, 80 whispers the wind,
Asit treads in its trackless course
And pussinR away, doth the bright rill say,
Al Il leaps from its crystal source
An passing away on the stream Of time,
To nbliyion's vale in far-of cline.
Matter and man, we make no delay,
To eternity's gulf we are passing away.
Passing away, mark the wTinkied brow,
And the head with the silvery hair.
And the furrowed cheek, how they plainly speak
That they're leaving world OF care.
Yes, passing away, even beauty's flower
Ii fading fast meath the spoilers power,
And fair and frail, to their ped Of clay,
Adown in the tomb are passing away.
Passing away, shrieks the oceans wave,
81 breaks on the beaten shore;
And the tortured tide lie left to chide
The cliffs with hollow roar
Ave-, passing away, both from castle and cot,
The places which know us viii soon know us not;
Whether peasant or Prince natures last debt to pay
Al tho fat Of God we arc passing away.
Passing away, even time himself
Bends under his load Of tears,
His limbs are frail and his cheek grows pale
with the furrows Of sorrowing tears.

lie is passing on to the home of the dead;
with bending form and with locks grown gray,
Even time himself is passing away.
Passing away, how swiftly they got
Those scenes of our youth once dear,
Those friends we loved are by death removed,
And the world waketh strange and drearl
And the hopes of our youth, see, they all depart,
And the chords Of love round the human heart
Fen the soul groweth tired Of its cot Of clay,
And the essence immortal would fam pass away.
Passing away, all but Gods bright throne,
And His servants home above,
And His grace divine and the boundess mine
OF His eternal love.
And His will to save, through savior's blood,
The child Of faith who hath washed IN the flood;
Even earth to It's framework doth all decay,
But God and His love will ne'er pass away.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, April =, 1850.

WASHINGTON, April -, 1851.
EDITOR RECORD: During the waning
hours of the present heated Congressional
term it may not be uninteresting to the
many readers of your journal to peruse a
letter from this hot-bed of politics, rings
and Botany Bay of dilapidated bummers
and adventurous spectators. Congress
sional proceedings, you of course receive
from the daily published accounts given
to the press aud brief epitome of such
are daily served to the newspaper reading
public, but matters pertaining more par
ticularly to Nevada are no doubt more
acceptable to your subscribers than unin-
teresting items from foreign parts. The
deficiency bills, star routes, appropria-
tions, railroad enterprises, canals and
President making seem now to absorb
the entire attention of the Solons who
daily congregate Under the dome of our
National Capitol, while matters of greater
Importance are left over as unfinished
business to be discussed at some future
period. Before proceeding into general
routine Of readable items, touching par
ticularly upon matters of special interest
to the citizens of your State, will men,
ton that among the number of Nevada
people here, outside Of the Congressional
delegation, may be mentioned Colonel I.
Jennings, the veteran pioneer mail con-
tractor and proprietor Of the lively little
oasis in the desert, st. Thomas, Nevada.
The Colonel has been among us for some
weeks, diligently pressing the work for
which he came, and surrounded by an
ample horde Of efficient assistants, bid fair
to carry his point, though at an enormous
expense. Col. Jennings has now route
from St. Thomas to Ell Dorado Canyon.
To-day he has been to work on matters
concerning the Moapo Reservation, and
there has been complete change made.
Although business takes along time to be
transacted in Washington, l will say that
Nevada people can do matters up here as
quick as any one. It is likely, before
Congress adjourns, the last of June has
been reached, as it takes them so long to
do business. Colonel Jennings will bid
adieu to Washington in short time. G.
