A man whose price list all may know— The charge be makes for each aggression— May cut a figure in campaigns, And still be rated us a Hessian. He who is bold to talk reform 1 Until of peace he gets possession, Then tamely yields to fraud aud wrong, May well be counted as a Hessian. ) ' He who his promise falsifies, i And sees no shame in retrogression, But turns himself against himself, , Knows he is nothing but a bessian. He who upholds the pure and good, Then justifies a mean transgression, Defending bribes and lies for cash, I a what the people call a Hessian. He who, a hanger-on of Fraud, Would give another Fraud succession, And serves this Fraud or that for pay, Doe* all his fighting as a Hessian. When next November tells the tale, And gives the people's will expression, Good men may hope that politics Will put the finish to the Htsaian. Jackson's Vow. OLD HICKORY AND THE BANK CASHIER. Shortly after the occupation of Pensa oola and the expulsion of the Spanish authorities from Florida, by Gen. Jaok son, Mr. Edward Palfroy, an old citizeu of New Orleans, now dead, was wont to relate that, while standing behind the conntor of the National Bank, his atten tion was attracted to a group of military officer* who enterod tbe bank and in quired for the oashier The chief of tbe party was a uian, gaunt, stern-featured, spare and waited of form, but ereot and firm of carriage. The oashier haying appeared, the chief inttoduced himself: "I am An drew Jackson, Major General of the United States army, commanding the foroca now occupying Pensaoola. My soldiers are suffering greatly for the want of provisions, clothing and medi cines. Immediate relief is required, and I must have $20,000 to purohase them •opplioa. Here ia my on ih" G»». eminent. I desire to have it cashed." The oashier was appalled by this de mand. There was no authority to honor thi* oheck. Tbe courteous but firm manner and the prestige of tbe oh'ieftan, however, restrained any such intimation from the cashier. Requesting the Gen eral and bis staff to be seated, be retired to the rear office of the Preaident, and oommunicated the appalling demand of the oonquetor of Florida. Tbe Presi , dent was equally alarmed and dispatohed a messbnger to convoke the directory. Tuey quickly assembled, and the subject was referred to them. It should be borne in mind that at that time Gen. Jackson was regarded with a great deal of bitterness and dis trust by a large politioal party in the eoantry. He was looked upon as a dan gerous and assuming military chieftain who menaced the integrity and freedom of oar oivil institutions, and especially of such institutions as the great National Bank. The directors of the New Orleans bank were, doubtless, somewhat pervaded with this sentiment. Still tbe rules of the bank justified tbem in declining to advance the fund required by Geo. Jackson, and tbe President was instruct ed to commanicate the conclusion of the board. He did «o with all tbe sauvity usual on suoh occasions. Then rising from hi* scat and advanc ing to tho counter, behind whioh the polite President stood, tho old chief asked : "Do I understand you, sir, to say that this bank, having the money of the United Stateb in its vaults, deelinc* to advance a sum of money sufficient to supply tbe immediate needs of 2,000 patriotio soldiers, whom I have left in the swamp* of Florida, exposed to f vera and starvation ?" "With profound regret, tbe rules must be observed." W hereupon, with flashing eye and that terrible aspect never forgotten by any one who ever beheld Old Hickory ia a rage, the General, raising bis gaunt- Icted hand, brought it down with great force upon the counter, exclaiming: "By the ! I will live to serve your rasoally bank as I have the Span iards in Florida, as equally enemies of the people and of liberty." With this fearful menaoe and vow he strode with his staff out of tbe bank. As be emerged from tbe bank, the Gen eral encouuterod two Irish-borb oitiiens and merohantsof Now Orleans, who bad heard of the order of tbe bank, aud bad hastened to join the General, with offers to cash his draft and furnish all that he needed fur his army. Be Honest. BY UNCLE LUTE. Young men, just commencing life's turuuleot career, in whatever pursuit— whether in the free, mauly industry of the farm and tho workshop; in the pro fessional, or the more hazardous and wearing mercantile undertakings—let me say to you, be honest. You have doubtless been told this in print and by word, sinoe you? earliest recollection. But have you realized the full import of its meaning—of what vital importance it is to your wbolo future career ? In brief, it amounts to just this : If you wish to succeed, to be happy and re spectcd, thin be honest, freely and heartily, for principle's and honesty's sake. If you wish to go down to ruin,,, shame and dishonor, then be dishonest, J untruthful, tricky, and your wishes will De speedily carried into effect. You may see times whin the temporary suc cess of unprincipled undertakings may allure, but ~.do not be deceived. Bo firm as a rock for truth and right, and jou will find yourself on the rising road to fortune and to famo when their rot ten structures aro toppling to destruc tion. If you are intrusted by others with their interests and business, prove worthy of tbe trust io every particular. You will have hard battles to fight, but keep up your courage and stick to prin ciples of right. Let not the hell-gilded allurements of the praotioes and amusements of those who spend more money uselessly each week than their wages amount to ever lead you from a firm determination to be honest and manly, and you cannot help but suo oecd. You may oiteutiuies find your self spurned, neglected, and those less worthy promoted over you, but let this not swerve you. In time your success, your upward career, will be all tbe speedier, all the more glorious. Never misrepresent to make a sale Never ad vertise a humbug, falsehood or color able statement Be frank, gentlemanly and honest, and charge for your labor and your products all tbey are worth, just wbat you can afford to take, and you wiil find plenty to appreciate, plenty to patronize. Young men, let me especially and earnestly advise you to so oonduot your lives and acts that each night, when you seek your pillow, you oan truthfully say to yourself and to Gud : I have been faithful, truthful and bonest. i have not wronged others to enrioh myself If you do this, you will be happy and successful. A peace and a joy of heart and mind will be yours, which the world could not purchase from you. There is nothing io all my varied experieuee wbieh gives me so great comfort and abidiug satisfaction as an inward con sciousness that I have never been tempt ed to grossly misrepresent, nor to un lawfully appropriate to myself a single traction nor farthing intrusted to my oare. Young men, you will be greatly tempted; you may have reverses and misfortunes, may be foully slandered; but be steadfast for truth and honesty, proving to the world by your live* that your reverses are not through your care lessness or inability; that contingent slanders are without foundation, aud success will supplant misfortune, aud alauder will revert with crushing force on tbe heads of its inventor*. Some Uses of Charcoal. Charcoal, laid flat while cold on a burn, causes the pain to abate imme diately ; by leaving it on for an hour the burn seems almost healed when the wound is superficial. Tainted meat, sur rounded with it, is swecteued. Strewn over heaps of decomposed pelts, or over deid animals, charcoal prevents any uu pleasant odor. Foul water is purified by it. it is a great disinfectant, aud sweeteus offensive air if placed in shal low trays around apartments It is so very porous that it absorbs aud condenses gaxes rapidly. One cubio inch of fre*h charcoal will absorb nearly one hundred inches of gaseous ammonia. Charcoal forms an excellent poultice for malignant wounds and sores. In cases of what is calletf proud flesh it is invaluable It gives no disagreeable odor, oorrodes no metal, hurts nu texture, injures no color, is a simple and sale sweetener and dicin feotant A teasooonful ol charcoal, in half a glass of water, often relieves a sick headache It absorbs the gases and relieves the distended stomach pressing against the nerves, which extend from the stomaoh to the head. I*. often relieves constipation, pain, or heartburn Censuß 'specialties. One of the enumerators found a family of eleven children, the oldest of whom ! was only 13 years uf age.

Biographical Sketches. UiNBV W. LONGFELLOW. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born seventy three yearß ago—cm the 27tb of February, 1807—in Portland, tbeu a Massachusetts town, and tor al must half a century baa been a resi dent of Cambridge. Graduated at Bow doin College at the age of 18, bo gave hiuiself with youthful enthusiasm to the culture of elegant letters, and, after a short time spent in the uncongenial study of ibe law, was called to the pro fessorship of modern languages in his ; aluia mater. A few years later he was appointed to a similar profess or-bi t in Harvard College, made vacant by the rtwft'yatfcn of its first incumbent, the ,y)rfrljjp!Sge Tfeknor This office he ' ■.filled for eighteen years, when he w.is succeeded by another poet, reciutly np | pointed to the highest diplomatic trust ! in the gift of the Government. .Meanwhile Longfellow had published three delightful works in prose—"Outre- Mer," "Hyperion," and "Kavauagh"— and had won for bimsell a foremost place among American poets Since his resig nation of the professorship at Cumbr idge his pen bas never beeu long idle. As a prjee writer his reputation has b en dimmed by hiß pnpuluity as a poet; but DO one who haß read his prose, oau ever forget the simplicity and beauty of bi>. style. The reader finds there the same marks of a refined and scholarly taste which largely ehaiacte:ize his poeiry ; and, if he had adhered to that kind ot literary endeavor, he would probably have rivaled Irving as a prose classic. But Loogellow's inclinations led him in a different direction ; and few readers, i any, will say that ho was not right in following what seemed to him the truo bent of his genius. However great and durable the fame which lie might have acquired as a prose writer, wo eould ill spars "The Voioes of the Night," '•Evangeline," "The Golden Legend," "The Courtship of Miles blandish," the marvel JUS translation of Dante, and the innumerable short poems which are familiar at household words To have written them is to have rendered a ser vice to Amerioan literature which oan never be lightly estimated. A Disastrous Lemonade. ,A pintVu p in fall dross—hroadoloth. ooat, white gloves—Dolled ioto a drug store precipitately recently. "Can you fix roe right off," he panted, "• preparatioq of eastor oil that can be taken without anyone ever detecting the odor, or even suspecting that it's a medi oine, and jet that will—ycu kuuw, one tfa.t 11 " "I should say I could," said tlio drug gist In five minutes the apothecary came out with a glass of pleaßant looking liquid in his hand. "Monsieur," be said, with a smile, "while you are waiting, permit uic to of fer you a glass of lemonade." "Certainly, but burry, please." The customer drank the beverage has tily. Several minutes passed, when be growled impatiently. "Come, oome, whero is that prepara tion h" "Monsieur," said the apothecary, "1 am happy to observe that I have exactly met your desire. That preparation you have just taken, without the slightest suspicion of its character—" "Beast, villian I Ah—h I It wasn't for myself that I wanted it 1 I'm to be married in an hour, and it was for my prospective mother-in-law, who has just been taken ill.

A young man whose affianced went back on him and broke off their engagement, ! ] received a note from her asking him lo I return the lock of her hair which he | had.

Sunstroke. Tho general opinion unio^JP'medical men in regard to sunstroke is. that it. is an affection o!' tho small mcdula oblongata, connecting the biain with the spinal column This is only about an inch long, and weighs in the average man about a quarter of an ounce Yet it ia this trifle which, being seri ouslv affected by poison, by isolation, or by a dozen other influences, moy cut short the life of a strong uiuti u less than a moment's notice It con trols the nerves upon which the con trol of tho muscles governing our bieathing depends, and a serious lesion of which is npt to produce asphyxia In truib, the affection colled "sun streku" should be nuund "heat .-UoW'e;" it is nearly as likely to oou.o on at night as in the day-time, and in weather like this every precaution against it should be taken. There are peculiar delusions which are apt to be indulged in during such stresses of weather as that through which we are now going, and one of them is that is well to simulate perspiration by indulging in "cooling drinks" which are largely compounded ot alcohol, j Tnis notion is correct only in few and exceptional ctrcu i stances.

"Mover as much as switched his cussed tail. It's a mighty good thing for Aleok that he didn't, too; an' I thought I'd como up au' tell yer." And he dodged out at the side en trance. A Girl Man. At the Grand Central Theatre in this oity is a freak of nature The name of i tius Mills is pretty well known among | variety singe frequenters but the world has never beeu told that Gus is a phun omenon.

There are business men who don't understand the value of advertising They do not see the direct conneeiiou between adver ting and the entrance of a customer, i or ihe demand for any particular article. They, also, with a sell importance which is amusing, fancy tbeir businesica are j known to the whole oommunity, chang ing as tbat community is to an extent I which they have no oonoeption of.
