Never be sorry fur what you didn't write; it is the things that you do write that you are Usu ally sorry for. I have changed my mind, I don't think much of a man who is not wiser to-day than he wns yesteiday. Py n course of reasoning Eu clid proves that all the angles in a triangle are equal to two right angles. Now, if vo i undertook to disprove that proposition would you prove it false by calling Eu clid a liar? What do you think of those fellows in Wall street who are gambling in gold at such a time as thN? For my part I wish ev ery one of tdein had their devil ish heads shot off. (Said to be Linsoln's harshest utterance.) Whatever change may occur in the quantity of money in any community, time will adjourn the derangement produced: but while that adjustment is pro gressing all suffer more or less, and very many lose everything that renders life desirable And no duty is more imperative on the government than that of fur nishing the p' ople a sound and unilorm currency. Ere long the most valuable of nil arts will lie the art of deriv ing a comfortable subsistence from the smallest area of soil All should share the privileges of government who assist in bear ing its burdens, consequently, I would admit all whites to the rights ol suffrage who pay taxes or bear arms, by no means ex cluding females. To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor, orns nearly an possible, is a worthy object of any good government. With some men liberty means for each man to do as h pleases with himself and the product of his labor; with others it m jans to do as they please with other men and the product of other men's labors. That issuewdl con tinue in this country when my poor tongue shall be silent. It is the eternal struggle between right and wrong. The common right of humanity and ihe divine right of kings. In whatever 'shape it develops itself it is the sntue tyranical spirit that says: 'You toil, and work and earn bread and I'll eat it." No men living are more wor thy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty. Let them beware'of surrendering a politi cal power which they already uos Hess, and which if surrendered, will surely be used to close the door of advancement against such as they, and to fix new dis abilities and burdens upon them, till all of liberty shall be lost. Our government rests in pub lic opinion. Whoever can change public opinion can change the government practically just so much. There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law. Among free men there can lie no appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and they who take such appeals are sure of their case and pa' the costs. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house ol another, but let him work diligently and build one for himsell. rrtio mm fvrotit: livinrr Tiririfi i ila r ,, , . .

In the region between the r-ea and the river called Missouri, the hu midity of the climate as well as the soil, is reinarkble In many parts the humidity is so intense that there grows upon a species of fungus.

At about 3:.'K in the afternoon two men were seen running to ward the volcano, which was em itting flames. Captain Parnaby then exclaimed: "Lord bless nie, the foremost is old Rooty, my next door neighbor." They then vanished in the flames, a fact of which every one present took no tice. Fpon Captain Rarnyby's re turn to England he harned that "old booty'' had died just about the time of the strange occur rence at Stromboli. He then made a remai k which was the subject of the action, that he "had seen old Pooty running in to Ihe flames of hell pursued by the devil." Mrs. Rootv claimed V 1,000 as damages, and sltecase came on in the king's bench be- 1 fore the chiel justice Sir Robert Wright. For the defense, in addi tion to the defense of Captain Parnaby and his friends, old Rooty's clothes were brought in to court and identified by sever al witnesses as being similar to those worn by the foremost mini that ran into the era for even to the peculiar buttons on his coat. The judge was so impressed by this evidence that he said: 'Lord have mercy on ine and g r a n t that I may never see what you have seen. One, two, three, may be mistaken, but not thirty." And so Rooty's widow lost the day, and Ihe case remains, per haps, as the only judiciary ac cepted ghost story 011 record. A St Tons' Argument. The Parish Visitor.
