There's nothing strange about that at all. It is al most a moral as well as a profession al impossibility for them to go any where else. Once upon a time, after he demise of a member of the "corps editorial," he presented himself at the gates of the 'Golden City," and requested admission. The' door-keeper asked him what 1m,l lpfn hi occupation on Terra Firma. -i He replied that he was an editor. "Well," said the watchman, "we've got a crowd of your kind here now, and they all came as "dead-heads."

"Well sir," replied his sable maj-rst- "wr let, one of your profession iu here many years ago, and he kept up such a row with his form er delinquent subscribers, and as we have more of that class of per sons here than any other, we have passed a law prohibiting the ad mission of any editors, only those who have advanced our interest in their papers on earth, and even those we keep in a seperate room to themselves. You have publish ed many things operating against us and blamed the devil with every thing that went wrong, so you curt come in. We enforce this rule without respect to persons, for our own peaee and safety." Casting a dull leer at the outside sentinel, our typographical friend started off again, detirmincd to get in "up above." This time he took with him a file of his paper, and presented it to the guardian of the Celestial City, requesting that it might be carefully examin ed, and they could see whether he was entitled to a free ticket. In due course of time the conductor came along and took him in, tell ing him that he had been a martyr to the cause of improvement, and that resolutions had been passed to admit all members of the "art pre servative" who had abused the devil below, lie added that as they were punished enough by be ing" with the devil, all their future punishment is commuted, lie fur ther stated that not one delinquent subscriber could be found inlleav on.

The Zanesville Courier of the lbth turnishes the lollowin ft nor. tieulars of a most distress! n v.j iiinn iuu pmce in that city on Tuesday last: The citizens of this community were . .7 GREATLY SHOCKED at an early hour yesterday evening by the intelligence of the death of C. II. Durban and wife, which had just taken place at the residenc of Judge Evans, in the sixth Ward, under the most taid and painful circumstances the one. d vino- i the effects of a pistol ball in the head, fired bv his own hm.d wluh Ins wife lay dying in the same room of a lingering disease con sumption and expiring ten min utes alter her husband" had gone into eternity. That our citizens were startled by the announce ment would hut faintly express the feellings of sadness and horror at the event, and of the sympathy for the parents, relatives and fremds of the deceased. The circumstances of this painful occurrence, as near as we can gather them are as fol lows: mil charles n. duruan, son of our Avell known fellow citi zen Thomas Durban, Esq-, a vounor man about 23 years of age, a pract icing attorney, office m the An theneum Building, was married last spring to Miss. Lucy Seaman After marriage, owing to the fail- nig ; ucmuii oi Airs, unman, they reside! at Judge Evans'. The dis ease with which she was alliicted was that of consumption of the lungs. Mr. Durban, from the testi mony of all, was the most devoted of husbands, kind, generous, and noble-hearted of sons. I)r Hall was the attending physician of Mrs. Durban during her illness, and was requested by Mr. Durban to visit her every day, to spare no ex pense whatever in procuring her anything that would tend to Iter comfort or aid in her recover' The doctor did, on one occasion, omit his daily visit for one day, when, the next morning, Mr. Dur ban called on him and begged him not fail visiting her daily untillher health was recovered or death put an end to her sufferings. She con tinued to grow worse, and as the prospect of her recovery faded away Mr. Durban grew sad and gloomy. Dr. fall visited Mrs. Durban yesterday morning, and found that SHE COULD NOT LONG SURVIVE a few days at the most. In the evening he was sent for again, and arrived at the bed-side of the suf ferer at 5:50 o'colck. Mrs. Durban wished to take some medicine, morphine and chloroform, prescrib etl b tll0 doctor when she was restless and could not sleep, ner husband asked the doctor about crivinrr if ovnressino- himself as if r- o - - 1 o " . tearing the desire ior the sedative quoted him to give her the medi mifftit increase. me doctor re cine, which he did, at the same time seeming very nervous and ex cited. He wallked partially iround the room with his hands in his pockets, and finally stopped at the foot of the bed. The doctor then gave her some valerate of am monia, Mr. Durban still standing at the foot of the bed and seemed TO BE SUFFERING INTENSLY. He said to the physician, "Doctor, for God's sake cant you give Lucy, (his wife's name) something to re leive her The doctor told him to wait, that the remedy had not had time to act. As the difficulty of breathing seemed to increase the doctor told him to bring some un slacked lime, that she might inhale it while it slacked. He did so, and attempted to hold it to her face but seemed unable from nerv ousness. She then took a se vere fit of coughing, when the doc tor took his place. Mr. Durban passed to the foot of the bed, say ing as he did so, "Doctor, can't you do anything more for her, she is dying ?" The doctor found that she would suffocate unless her po sition in the bed was changed, and with the assistance of her mother and Mrs. Evans was trying to change her position, when a report rang out which filled the room with sound. The doctor "-laneino-up, NOTICED MR. DURBAN STAOGER1XG and supposing that he might have accidently shot himself, rushed to him and laid him on the floor. lie did not breath, seemingly, after tho shot. Ilis wife seemed fully conscious of what had taken place said she was sorry but couldn't crv. She tried to speak again, but her words were not understood, when she died, there being from five to ten minutes between their deaths. The ball took effect in the right temple, a little above the eye. In his pocket was found a letter, saying that he could not live with out her, and if he died first that he would met her in Paradise. There were letters also to his parents, and a note requesting that no cor oners inquest be held upon his body, that it was a matter between him self and his God. A Vice to '-Common. It is shocking, even to a hard ened man of the world, to hear on the thoroughfares of this and prob ably every other large city, ex ceeding profanity of boys and sometimes girls, not yet in their teens. The most horrible oaths glide off their toungs and through their hps as easily as well rounded periods from the mouth of an ac- I COmPllshl orator. It is to be majority i I10P-'d that the great ol these juvenile swearers are de scribed by liyron, when he said of his fictitious characters. "He knew not what to do, and so, he swore' Jt is lamentable that this vile habit prevails to such an alarming extent among ths young, but its prevalence with the" older members of the community is still more deplorable. Thoughtless ness on the part of children, and half-grown persons, may furnish some slight excuse, but when adults continually indulge in the objectionable practice, we fear it indicates a nature which, if not ir reclaimubly debased, has lost much of its original purity. An article in the l'itsburg Prt'ovhtyr gives seven good reasons why a man should not swear: 1. It is mean. A man of high moral standing would almost as soon steal sheap as to swear. 2. It is vulgar altogether to low for a decent man. 3. It is cowardly implying"' a fear either of not being believed or obeyed. f. It is ungentlemanl v. A gent leman, according to Webster, is a genteel man well bred, refined. Such a one will no more swear than go into the street and throw mud with a loafer, 5. It is indecent offensive to delicacy, and extremely unlit for human ears. G. It is foolish. "Want of de cency is want of sense." 7. It is abusive to the mind which conceives. Adroitly Hit. A correspondent of the Herald and J'reshyter, writing from Min nesota, tells the following : I have picked up a little story which I think is too good a reproof for dis turbers of the peace in churches to be lost. A presiding elder of the United Hrethern Church was preaching in the neighborhood, and was much annoyed by persons talking and laughing. He paused, looked at the disturbers, and said, "I am always afraid to reprove those who misbehave in church. in the early part of my ministry I made a great mistake. As I was preaching a young man that sat just before me was constantly laughing, talking and making uncooth grim aces. I paused and administerd a severe rebuke. After the close of the service one of the offical mem bers came and said to me : "Hi-other , you made a gicat mistake That young man whom you re proved is an idiot." Since then I have always been afraid to reprove those who misbehave in church lest I should repeat the mistake and reprove another idiot." During the rest of that service, at least, there was good order. Jefferson's Ten Hulks. Jef ferson's ten rules arc good yet, especially for those who have the training of the pupils in our public, schools. They are so short and concise, and embody so much of value, that it would be well if they were clipped and put where we could see them often. They are as follows : 1. Xever put off fill to-morrow what you can do to-day. 2. Xever trouble another for what you can do yourself. 3. Xever spend your money be fore you have it. 4. Xever buy what you do not want because it is cheap. 5. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold. 0. We seldom repent of having eaten too little. 1. Xothing is troublesome that we do willingly. 8. How much trouble the evils have cost us that have never hap pened. 0. Take things always by the smooth handle. 10. When angry, count ten be fore you speak, "if very angry, count a hundred. It is said that if a tree is felled while in leaf, and allowed to lie un til the folirge withers, the wood will be the soonest seasoned, as the leaves will draw all the sap before thep die. Can.

GREELEY From th Xew York Tribune. We print herewith "liiton's lews of Marriage and Divorce " as set forth by himself. We have repeatedly printed the same views (essentially) as set forth at full length by several eminent writers on his side, so that we are very glad to find Tilton's statement a short one. Tilton's right to thkk as he does we do not dispute ; our right to re gard his doctrine as eminently per nicious and detestable he seems un willing to concede. We feel that just such reasoning as his, instilled by libertines into the ears of their foredoomed victims, has filled and is now tilliiio- lhn nnvtli with in . misery mid morn! ruin Tinhnil the libertine who beguiles an inno cent girl into compliance with his wishes and deserts her when his passions are sated and she about to become a mother, stands fully jus tified by Tilton's premises and de ductions, lor the seducer would say, "I have ceased to love, honor, to ckensh ; therefore, my 'covenant is tpto Ja:to ended, and I am free to go where I v:dlP If this doc trine is not Tilton's, we are unable to discern the difference. Til ton sa-s that the marriage contract "is ipxo facto ended when ever, instead of loving, they hate, and, instead of honoring, they dis- pise, etc. If Tilton has any form of mar riage covenant in use among Chris tians, which pistihes his assertion we challenge him to produce it. We never saw nor read, such; we are sure none such' exist. On the contrary, all the marriage cov enants within our knowledge bind the parties not to hate, despise, or loath each other. If they do so, they break their vow ; but this by no means releases them lroni its obligations. We insist that the men and wo men who believe in the Tiltonian marriage covenant shall act accord ingly. Let them stand up before the world and say : "We take each other for husband and wife for so long as we shall continue to love each other supremely ; but when ever this shall no longer be the case, then we proclaim and will hold our selves at liberty to separate and take to ourselves new partners." Then we shall know exactly how to treat them. They will be pre- cisely in the position of every iib- . i -iiil ertme who has a mistress, and will be regarded and treated according ly. Their assuming before the world an obligation to cling to each other "till death do part," and in sisting on regulating their lives by one totally different, we unuttera bly abhor. In fact, no person who holds with Tilton has any right to marry at an. ne nas no right to the honors of marriage while he re pudiates its essential obligation. The Union that Tilton believes in is not marriage at all, but something radically diverse from that. It is the marriage a la tacque of Parisian workmen and grisettes, which is expected to last a year, but often disappoints that expectation Those who hold it superior to Chris- tian marriage snouid piove tneir faith by giving it a distinctive name. Words are things, and mar- riage is not what any one choose to have it; but is defined by the was further rumored that Mr. Mur dictionaries. If the free-lovers are py oniy pretended to relinquish not ashamed of their creed, let them njs interest in Tammany when he prove It oy giving a ui&uuiuMiuig name to "their substitute for mar -. i i riage. A young Jewess of Baltimore named Miss Rettie Jacobs, eloped on the 10th tilt., with a gentleman named Allman. The fugitives were married at Washington and pro ceeded to Alexandria for a quiet honeymoon. The father traced them up to the hotel, and was con ducted up to their room. As the door was opened the bride exclaim ed: "Father, we are legally mar ried," and burst into tears. The father upbraided her for her act and forbade her to call him father again, as she disgraced both him and her mother. A dialogue was carried on between the two and amid their cries and sobs, which was only interrupted when the landlord declared that it was at tracting too much attention and must cease. The father turned to go, and as he did so, cast a fond look at his daughter, and to her frantic "Good-bye, father," said : "I will go home, put crape on my hat, and mark you on the record : Died September 19, 1871.' " And thus they separated. Flirting. A localjournal states that in a town upon the Hudson there has been discovered a young ladies' society having for its mot- to, "Flirt on Uirt ever." An ditor's daughter in denouncemg the ahair The ed- itor spared not his erring child m his devotion to truth and common sense. I TitK LOVE LETTER, She took it in her tremblinpr hands, That j)oorly served her will ; The wave of "life on golden sauds, Stood for a moment still. She read the superscription o'er, And broke the careful seal ; The precious burden that it bore She did not read, but feel, O, earth, so green with Summer now, O. sky of heavenly blue! O, mated birds on every bough ! Her thoughts are not of you. The bum of friendly tones below, The life of pleasant care, That swayed her soul an hour ago, Now rule no longer there. She knows a love too pure and high For simple words to speak ; Its glory glistens in her eye, And blushes on her cheek. Its brighter warmth about Lcr lie?. It fills each human need. Enfolds her life and glorifies The simplest word or deed. lie has no promise to allure, No fairy tale to tell ; The skill of honest love is sure To work its purpose well. It scornes the flatterer s subtle art, The worldling's acted lies ; But storms the fortress of the heart, And bears away the prize. Yet brave as spurred and belted knight, More tender still than brave, lie lifts his victim into light, Himself the willing slave. O, Love, thy kingdom s!and3 secure, llorn with Creation's day ; Thy sweet dominion shall endure When earth hath passed away. Do Thou Likewise. From the Missouri Republican. The Democratic leaders in Xew York have done themselves great credit oy tneir promia and vigor -i . i . i -t ous action toward the lammanv ring. The moment that it became probable that the charges of fraud in the management of municmal affairs in the city of Xew York were not mere partizan devices de- hi - rnm sole v to break c own orom ment Democratic ofhcials, the Chairman of the State Democratic Central Committee at once inter posed to aid in exposing the frauds and bringing the guilty parties to punishment. It is believed to have been at his suggestion that Mr. Green was made Acting Comptroller; a. Democrat having so entirely the confidence of all parties, that the public now rests satisfied that the doings of the ring will be effectually and fear-, lessly investigated. 'm "i 1 : a 1 i no j7emocracy navnrjr iiius cleared its skirts of all suspicion of connivance at frauds, tho Uadical party should go and do likewise m its portion of Uncle Sam's political mansion. The .New York Custom House would seem to need purifi cation fully as much as Tammany. The rsew York Tribune continues its charges against Collector ALur- U1V. and thev are certainly grave enough to demand stringent inves tigation. A correspondent of that thoroughlj Radical journal in quires of it about certain disagree able rumors concerning that offi cial; that by the aid of govern ment officials he was enabled to make large sums of money out of the government during the late war; that he has been deeply mter- ested with Tammany in its schemes Gf street widening and other lat j0kS; and that by these operations "he has amassed vast wealth. The correspondent also writes that it obtained the superior position of L nited States Collector. To this the Tribune editorially answers, that the public record of the Ad- ministration pet is "only faintly hinted at m the above startling questions:" and it thereon gives some astounding items about him. lie is so much a part and parcel of the Tammany ring that m 18GG he voted for Hoffman and the other Democratic candidates, and paid large sums of money to secure their success, in order to enable the ring to control the city more surely; in addition, he and "his crowd." as Radicals, nominated a candidate in that Mavoraly elec tion for the express purpose of -i having Tammany win. Rut these political pecadilloes m support ol his brethren of the ring are as nothing compared with the person al shortcomings of which the In bnne accuses him. To say that he made hirre sums of money out of the government during the war "very faintly hints the extent of the case;" and it charges as "not denied" that his transactions were of such a nature that the War De partment ordered an investigation, by which "verv damaging results were obtained;" that through pri vate political lnlluenee the investi gation was suppressed; and that when the papers were subsenuentlv called for, it was found that twelve jiad been burcrlaronslv abstracted from ticm- (Where did the Tarn many ring learn that trick of bur- glary of vouchers in the jS ew Y ork Comptroller's office?) It also charges that Mr. Robert Murray openly boasted that, at Air. Mur phy's instigation, and on his prom ise to pay their expenses, he "spir ited away witnesses to the mat ters involved in that investigation: that, besides his share in the street- widening jobs, "he was admitted to the notorious and infamous real estate speculations of Tweed, Swe ney and Conuolly; to this day and hour he is joint owner with them of city property valued at a mil lion of dollars, and in at least one transaction amounting to over a quarter of a millon, he engaged with them as late as Oct. 15 "l8o9,: as the records in the City Hall now prove. lhus high Radical authority de scribes the man who runs what an eminent Radical merchant calls the "venal, corrupt machine" of the Xew York Custom House. Mr. Murphy appears in the Tri bune with an answer to this form idable indictment, but it is a wretchedly lame one. As the Tri bune remarks of it, "change names and Mr. William M. Tweed with equal grace say the same thing." His joint speculation with the ring's leaders in real estate is admitted, and the charges about, the abstracted affidavits are met by nothing more definite than a sneer at the witness, Mr. Murray, and a reference to his own confirm ation by the United States Senate,, which, however, as the Irtbune as serts, never made any examination into them. The honest men of all parties will wait with some curiosity to see whether the Radical party will deal with its Murphy as summarily and vigorously as tho Rcuiocrac' has dealt with the Tammany ring which, by-the-by, Mr. Murphy says "dates its existence" from the election of Mr. Hoffman, as Mayor of Xew York, and hence it is not the Democratic Tammany of an earner time. Josh Billings- We have no more rite to laff at a deformed person than we have at a crooked tree both of them arc God's arketckture. How strange it iz that men had rather be flattered for possessing what they have not, than to be justly praised for what they pos sess. Suavity ov manners towards men iz like suavity of molassis to wards flies; it not only calles them to you, but sticks them fast after they get thare. There iz a grate deal ov charity in this world so koldly rendered that it fairly hurts; it iz like lifting a drowning man out ov the watter hi the hare ov the head, and then letting him drap on the ground. Exchanging kompliments iz an other name for exchanging iize. The greatest thief this world haz ever produced iz procrastination and he iz still at large. Advice to Doctors. Have you heard of the Rowery boy, who, be ing cut short in a hard lire by a sore disease that brought him to death's door, v. as informed by his physician that medicine could do nothing for him. "What's my chances, Doctor?" "Xot worth speaking of." "One in twenty?" "O, no." "In thirty?" "No." "Fifty ?" "I think not." "A hundred?" "Well, perhaps there may be one in a hundred." "I say, then, doctor," pulling him close down, and whispering with feeble earnestness in his ear, "just go in like thunder on that chance." The Doctor "went in," and the patient recovered. A green young justice of the peace out in Illinois was recently called upon, for the first time,to per form a marriage ceremony. He nervously looked through "Every Man His Own Lawyer," and "Haines' Township Laws," but fail ed to find tho desired form. The crowd grew impatient, and he told the couple to hold up their right hends. This done, he pronounced the following charge: "You and each of you do solemnly swear that in the cause now upon hearing, yon will tell the truth, the whlole truth, and nothing but the truth ; and you will love, honor, cherish, and obey each other during the term of your natural live, so help you God. Both answered solemnly, "I will," and the Justice charged them a dollar each and pronounced them man and wife. ... If a civil word or two, will ren der a man happy, "f wretched indeed who will not giv e them to him. Such a disposition is like lighting another man s candle by one's own, whiclr loses none of its brilliancy by what the other gams. No Appeal. In the cases of Brigham Young and others, now in the courts of Utah, it seems there is no appeal to the Supremo Court of the united States. In civil cases where the amount involved is Si, 000 or over the right of appeal still exists, but Congress, in rder 0 the more effectually tocarry out the reconstruction measures, took away the right of appeal in cases where life and liberty are at stake. and tho act being general, Utah was affected in like manner as the States lately In rebellion.- The Salt. Lake leaders are, therefore. left to the mercy of Judge Mc Kean and his confederates. Sac. Union. Could there be a more terrible arraignment of the Radical party, than is the above simple statement of what a Radical Congress has done ? In civil cases where th8 amount involved is 61,000 or over the right of appeal exists; but Congress, for the purpose of carry ing out its usurpations "took away the right of appeal where life and liberty are at sfa.kc". We say "usurpations" advisedly; for if Con-e gress did not believe the recofi struction acts usurped authority not granted in the Constitution, why did it fear to allow cases aris- mi ing under them, where "life and liberty were at stake," to go on appeal before tho Supreme Court? 'lhat such outrages on justice and decency may be perpetrated, and the perpetrators not be blasted with the thunderbolts of God's wrath, is calculated to shake the confidence of man in Divine jus tice, or in the Divine superinten dence of human affairs! The political and moral ideas of a party are crystalized in the legis lation which the party, when in power, enacts. The Republican, party is willing to allow eases in volving dollars and cents to be ap-0 pealed to the the highest judicial tribunal of the country, but in cases involving the life and liberty of the citizen all appeal is denied, because the decisions of the tribu nal might interfere with their schemes. Comment is unnecessary ! Yrelca XJ-nioa. Ah o'nt Is arr y in g- 6 Occasionally young men of good character indulge in gloomy doubts concerning the average American, woman, but such doubts can easily be traced to disappointed affection, or .perhaps it may be produced by the horrors of a cheap boarding house. Marriage is sanctioned by God and com men sense. It is the only means whereby a young man in this country can hope to lead a o respectable and cleanly life. Rut there are too classes of persons who are exempt from its joys and its sorrows. q If you, young man, arc deaf, dumb, lame, blind and idiotic, and if your ancestors have been such, Q or if you are so mean that your life is that of a friendless, snarhngo cur, and you feel that you could not be anything else, even to your wife, you can stand aside. If you', young man, have? conj ceived that ambition so common nowadays, of being a "fast man;" if you have made up your mind to keep a fast horse and a concubine; if your ideas of happiness is to have your hands full of cards and your stomach full of oyster?; if you, in short, have made your ar rangements to go straight to per dition, without change of cars, you'd better not marry. You will spend the money that the honora ble man lavishes on a home and its O "light and life." on painted creat ures who drag your polluted nameo through every sink in the land; who will display the jewelry and gifts you have bestowed on th$m, and curse you with a glib, round oath for a spoony and a fool. You, too economical to marry, will have plenty to spend on long-haired cut throats, who will leave you at last, it may be, to die wifeless, amid the dust and cobwebs of the gar ret.
