Does IL PAY to steal ?

A preacher who cares to descaht upoI
the retribution that surely follows or
wrong doing does not need to 60 back
TO Old Testament history for his illus.
trations. The fate of the old Tweed
ring of New York, nearly every one ol
whom sank from his pride Of placs and
power to poverty, to prison or to exile
has pointed many moral. But we dc
not even need TO 60 that far back to find
examples of the misery that overtakes
the public criminal. Think Of the agony
of mind a man must endure who has
grown rich by the abuse of public Office,
aud, being rich, seeks also TO be re.

thing as hell on earth that man must
endure Its torments.
Or think of men stlll enirenched In
Office and power who see others falling
all around them and know that, sooner
or later, their turn must come. Desper.
ately as they may fight 10 maintain
themselves, recklessly as they may
haunt defiance at the public laundering
at their doors, they must bear with them
always the distracting CONSCIOUSNESS
that they, too, may be in the power OF
some miserable hireliDg, who may q.
any time betray their secrets and bring
them into the hands of justice. What
enjoyment can such men have in their
lll-gotten wealth
The people OF Philadelphia have been
slowly coming to the consciousness tha;
the men to whom they haye long en-
trusted their municipal affairs have
abused their trust to private gain, bat
they never have had so clear an under

the bosses is something more than
struggle for power only that it has the

reckoning draws near, for in the face of
such revelations as have been made,
there can be no faltering IN the battle
for reform until every public office shall
be hlled by an honest man.

THURSDAY. DECEmBEa /, 1851.

PREPARE TO VoTE.-Unless he is
assessed and has paid tax within
two years Of the day of the election
no voter can enjoy the right of fran
chise in this State. There is still
some little time left in which voters
may see that their names are ON the
assessment lists, and if omitted have
them put on. 1t is the duty of every
good citizen to do this, and to pay his
tax and be prepared to vote. To fail
to do it and fail to be prepared to vote
ls an evidence that the freedom for
which their fathers fought and won is
nightly appreciated, and that there is
o want of patriotism. Such careless
people are the very ones to COM
plain most when they find they are
deprived OF the right to vote, although
they are shown that it is because of
their own negligence. The man who
refuses to pay light tax to secure
mis- right to vote, and thus assist to
pay The expense of his own govern
ment does not understand the value

ment. Go at once and see that YOU
are assessed and pay your tax if it
mas not been paid, as you are required
to do by the laws of the State.

CARBERRr's VERDIcT.-The crime
with which Carberry was charged was
an awful one. 1t could not be legally
called murder under the laws of this
state' since malice and premeditaton
could not be proved. But the verdict
seems light one aud under all the
circumstances perhaps as nearly right
as any jury could arrive at. The use
OF the pistol must be checked. 1t
seems there is mania for SHOOTING
in this country now. But then it
must be remembered that it is a yery
large country, and where the crimes
OF nifty millions of people are reported
every day, the humber of fatal cases
Is net SO very great as we might at
first view imagine.

NOE A POLICEMAN.

Tho other night two rough looking GUS
toners got into quarrel about 1890 o'clock
on the corner of Galveston street. They
were both bad men, who ordinarily did not
know what fear was, but they knew each
others proves, and hence they were un-
the two hardest cases on the Galveston ISL
and. They walked around each other like
two lions, gfttng their teeth, with their
fists doubled up, and muttering curses. A
man in dark clothing was standing near the
lamp-post, quietly watching the progress of
events.
"If II wasn't for that policeman there I'd
have y our hearts blood" said one, edgng
up closer to his antagonist aud gritting his
teeth.
"Your lips would be closed in death new
il it was not for that same policeman" said
the other, glaring like tiger.
"Genuemen, am no policeman arn
just looking on" said the spectator.
The two gladistors drew closer to the man
10 edilSlN bntibsSlhts llldL lucE CphIu TtbO
each other unmolested. The man smiled
and said; Sail in, gentlemen, won't hurt
you"
Having satisfied themselves the spectator
was harmless, timid man, one OF the gladi-
ators reached out from the shonller aud
sent the amazed third parry recling into the
street.
"Hit him again, Jimmy" yelled the sec
ond ruffian, planting well directed kick
that lifted the flying man of the ground.
The spectator ran like turkey, and fnsl-
ly m ade his escape. closely pursued by the
two deadly enemies. When explaining TO
his friends how he came by the black eye,
the victim tells very different story. and
deprecating the inefiicieney of the Galveston
police, Gays he shall regret to the last day Of
his life that he did not have the legal au-
thority to arrest the ruifans, and take them
both TO jail Galueston Neios.

INDIAN CHILDREN.

A comical characteristic oil Indian chill

men and the thin legs and armsi a fat,
chuAky boy or girl, is a rare sight among
these people. Though the boys haunt the
streams and lake branches throughout the
spring, summer and autumn, swimming
therein like ducks, and as often as beavers,
yet they always appear begrimed, oily, and
dirty; they never have any trouble with
their hair, and it matters little to them or
their friends whether the frowsy topknot is
ever combed, parted in the middle or at the
side. or parted at ALL they troop about the
village, now rolleking, now covering like
so many monkeys. The eyes Of an average
Indian boy are small and black they are
prominent, without visible eyebrows; large
eyes are despised, because it is claimed they
are week and timidi therefore, handsome

EVENTS OF AN ELOrEMENT.

Aberdeen, little town on the Ohio river,
has long been a favorite resort for runaway
couples, and the little ferryboat that plies
across the river from Maysville. Ky, is ap.
proprlately called the Gretna Greer. Just
now the boat is laid up OF account of the
ice, and the passage can only be accom-
plished in row boats. Leander P. scraggs,
a scraggy youth of is, and Miss Anna F.
Stamper, pretty blonde of l6 reached the
river bank in great haste, knowing that an
angry father was close behind them. The
girl burst into tears on seeing the ice food,
and a sympathizing crowd urged two river
men to make the passage in a skif, They
were soon afoat, and crowd gathered on
the bank to watch their progress. Before
they had reached midway the excited faith
er appeared, and in rage yelled to She girl
to come back, but his cries were unhesded.
When just about TO step of on the Aberdeen
side, the lover stood up and waved his hat
triumphantly. The act was an unfortunate
one, for he lost his balance and tumbled in
to the river. The bride screamed, and the
crew 6shed Mr.. Scraggs out with boat
hook. A safe landing was at last made,
and with the muddy water of the Ohio fast
congealing upon his clothes, his teeth chat
tering, and his knees trembling, the young
man led the young woman u? the bank, and
both hurried TO the hospitable mansion Of
Squire Massie Beasley, where they were
married.
