Of au.ne aerret deed of ahame.

A thing of evil tame;

With its wrinkted linea of gloom.

Guard thine action, aome (treat aorrow
Makes the man a spm-tw grim.
And the aunae' of lo-niorrow
May have left thee juin.-d to I im.

Ways the lut hare entered in.
Working out hi own undoing.
With his revklt-ssnesa and .in ;

Would a kind word be in Tain f
Or a look of cold suspicion

Not because the suit is bad,

Never make their bosoms pf lad.

Than by judging others blindly,

Be firm, be bold, be strong, be true.
And dare to stand aivuc;
Strive for the right, w hate'er you do,
Though helpers there are none.
Kay, bend not to the swelling surge.
Of popular sneer and wrong ; -
Twill bear thee on lo ruin's verge.
With current wild and struug.
S Laud for the right ! Humanity
Impivres with groans and tears.
Thine aid to break the testering links
Thau blind her toiling years.
Stand for the right! Thongh falsehood reign.
And proud iios coldiy ueer,
A poisoued arrow eaunol wound
A ctmseience pure and clear.

"The light of a merry eye,
la this dark world ol ours,
Tis like the biue of April's sky,
Or sunshine after sbowe.s !
.Though borne to troubles as we are.
And ne'er from sorrows fret
.Still, merry eye are aye the sign
Of w bat our life should be.
For joy is sorrow's elder Ifrn,
Aud abali outlive her sign
And sorrow's truest tear. are shed
When weeps a merry eye.
The languid life of softer lands.
Through pensive orbs may gleam.
But Saxon blood and toiling bands
Suit best a sunny beam.
My blue-eyed boy, by months too young
His infaut words to try.
Tells all be needs by meaning smiles
That baunt his merry eye.
That sunshine of the heart hall live.
And cares and years defy
E'en wrinkles radiate the light
Around a merry eye !

ready been stated, is a defaulter. He I u
young man, who had always exercised pru
dence and care in the management of his
business, and enjoyed the most unlimited
confidence of his friends. Some eight or
nine mouths ago he found his way into n
gambling house, and he was finally tempted
to participate in' a vice which he hud always
previously abhorred. He played, won, uud
lost, and kept on playing, aud though al
most constantly a loser, was so fascinated
with the charms of the vice, and animated
by the lmie of regaining what he hud lost,
that he could not withstand the temptation
to run on to utter ruin. When he commen
ced playing he was worth between eight
s 1 nml ten thomnnd dollars. He lost it all!
With the infatuation of despair, he continu
ed to gamble, however, using the public
funds which cume intaaliis possession us water-rent
collector. That, too, disapiearetl
into the coffers of the gamblers, Mr. Vor
hees' addiction to this vice was not known
to his most intimate friends. His previous
abhorrence of gambling put the lie to all
rumors to that effect, and the truth was not
known until his last tUartcrly settlement
claims agaiilst him. To his securities lie
subsequently confessed all, informed as to

him out as flat as a flounder. It was Sat

"Captain ," said I, "I have made up my,

"And how?' said he.
"Why, you see these eighteen boxes of

table.
"Here is your second box."
"Here is your two cents."
"Very well, here is your third box."

"Aud here is your dollar and twenty -eight

" Here is y,ur ninth box."
" Here is vour let me see ah! two dol

"Here U the eleventh box."
"Aud here is your twice five is ten.

and twenty four cents."
At this stage of the game he cot quite
locde, uud I continued:
' Here is your twelfth bos; hand over
twenty dollars and forty-eight Cents."
Here the globules of prespiration large as
marrowfat ea, stood out iu bold relief on
his face, but at length he doled out the
sum.
"Ilero is your thirteenth box; pile out
forty dollars and ninety-six cents."
Here the light appeared to lirenk into his
thick skull, aud he fairly yelled out:
"I'll see you darned first and then I

A Critic "Takes Down." In Sahitsville
very quiet town in one of the Middle
states, fcqinre illiiuiou reigns a supreme
judge in all matters of taste, especial ly the
line arts. He sets up to be the most know
ing man in town, not in the law only, but
in all departments of science. Jiow aud
then hu overshoots thu nitirk. One of
the neighbors, an intelligent mechniiic, hav
ing n fine taste for natural history, spent a
great deul of his time mid labor in prepar
ing a cabinet of stuffed birds, ' arranging
them as "natural as life," on perches around
his shop. Tne Squire was very fond of
dropping iu from tuna to liui, to find fault
with the arrangement of the specimens.
He admitted the skill of the man in skin
ning nnd stiiili'iir them, but thu habits of
the bird was not exactly hit in thu way he
stand-1.
" Why don't you follow nature?" the
Squire would ask, add grumble at the work
to show his own acquaintance with a sub
ject of which he wus ignorant. t
Rodger, the bird fancier, was vexed at
the Squire's criticisms and self-conceit, aud
resolved upon fixing him. A friend from
the country one duy brought him a lire owl
of beautiful plumage, and Rodgers gladly
took it of him, and set it up in one corner
of the shop on a shelf. Presently the Squire
was passing; he asked him in. llis eyes
caught sight of the new addition to his
cabinet, and he exclaimed:
" Hey, hey, Rodgers a splendid speci
men that? Elegantly stuffed hey? Follow
nature, man."
" Perhaps," said Rodgers, you could fix

"To bo sure I can," replied the Squire;
and mounting a chair, he reached up lo the
bird to straighten out his head. But Ins
owlship did not wait to be pulled; he dart

finger a grip that he will carry the mark for
many a day. Fulling back out of the chair
in his fright, aud seeing a smile of satisfac

Tub Catholic Cih'rch and Slavery-. The
archhUhopg uud bishops of the Catholic
church, who recently assembled in provincial
council in ljaliimnre, have issued a pnstoral
letter to the clergy nnd laity of that denom
ination. Among other subjects In which it
n fers is thu slavery question. We make
the following extrut-t :
"The peaceful and conservative charneter
of our principles, which are adapted to every
form of government and every state of soci
ety, has been tested and made manifest in
the ir re ut political struggles that have ngitnl
ed the country on the sulijert of domestic
slavery. Although history plainly testifies
thut the chmch has nhvuys befriended the
poor and laboring classes, and iflVctually
procured the mitigation of the evil at tached
to servitude, until through her mi'd influence
it passed away from the nations of Europe,
yet she has never disturbed established
order or endangered the peace of society by
following theories-of philanthropy.
Faithful lo the teachings nnd example of
the apostles, she litis always taught servants
to obey tin ir tna-ters, not serving to the
eye merely, but as to Chritt, ami iu his
iiuuie she commands mailers to trent their
servants with humanity uud justice, i (-minding
the in that I'uy tilso hure n M i-tc iu
Heaven. We have lint, therefore, found it
neiM-ssary to modify our teaching with a
view of adnfitiug it to local circumstances.
Among u there hus been no trgitulieu ou
III s subject. Our clergy huvo wisely ab
stained Iroui nil interference with the judg
ment of the faithful, which should be free ou
ill questions of polity and social order, with
in the limits of the doctrine and law of
Christ. We exhort you, venerable brethren,
to pursue this course, so iM-comiug 'the min
isters of God.' Let the dead bury their
dead. Ijcuve worldlings the ea-es ami anx
ieties f political purtisuiiship, I lie struggles
for ascendency, and the mortifications of dis
appointed umbilion. Do Hot, iu any way,
identify the interests of our holy faith with
the fortunes of any patty; but, preuching
peace and good w ill to all mankind, study
only to win to the truth thu children ol
error, and to merit the confidence of your
flocks so that, becoming all to all, you may
guiu all to Christ."
A Lost Daicjiter Found. Some two
years ago, u daughter of it respectable fam
ily, iu the interior of Kentucky, eloped
with a steamboat mate, and coming to this
city, was married. The husband and wife
lived togtthtr very happily fur about one
Tear, when from some cause they separated.
Tne next the parents heard of the daughter
sic was living unlawfully wii'i a man in
Ji ffersonville, uud hoping to redeem her the
father stin ted in pursuit of her. When he
arrived there, she hud gone. No traces of
her could be found, until n few days ago
the father received an ntiuoymnti uote, sta
ting that his daughter was i it a house j( ill
fame iu this city.
Still loving the erring child, he came here
after her. He first consulted Mayor Foly
of Covinsrton, and that gentleman kutdiy
undertook, to restore the lullttt daughter.
He fume to this city, aud st curing the ser
vices or Officer Suter, proceeded Saturda
afternoon to the houe above mentioned,
and . there found the gi'l.- She was sick,
very sick in bed, and the visitors wire by
no melius wclcoin to her. At first she
rt fused even an interview with her father,
but ou the persuasion of the .Mayor, at lust
consented. The father stricken willi sor
row, at last entered the room, and ft touch
ing scene ensued. ,Unt the woman's heart
was hardened, and for u long time she re
jected ull entreaties to return to the bosom
of the home she hud saddened whit sorrow.
She at last, however, consented to go
with her father ns soon us she was able, and
see aud speak with her mother, luit insist. d
she should hare the right to learu without
hindrance ut any time. It will bo several
days before she can bo removed.
She is only eighteen years of age, nnd
princely in beuuiy. Every care lias been
taken iu her education, and it is said that
previous to her elopement she was a gener
al favorite iu her neighborhood. To the
credit of the women in the house, it must
be said that they earnestly joined the fath
er iu his entreaties with ihe daughter.
They held up to her the misery of the life
they were leading', and begged her to go
home, forget her vile associations, and re
deem htrself in tho eyes of the world.
