J .. MB. FROM THE FREN'CII. , There was once a man whose only property was a wretched cabin, on the shore of a little river. He gained a livelihood by fishing,but as there were bnt few fish in tho stream, ho caught few, and had not much other food than bread and water. At the same time lie was content, in his poverty, because he wished for nothing more than he possessed. One day he took a fancy to see the city, and he resolved to go there, on the morrow. While ho was preparing for the voyage, a traveller entered his poor but, and asked him if he was fur from village where he might find a house to rest in till morning. "You are twelve miles from the vil lage," answered the fisherman'and it is late. If you wish to pass the night in my cabin, you are welcome." The traveller accepted his proposi tion, and the fisher, who desired to re gale him, lit tho fire to cook some lit tle fish. While he prepared the repast, he hnghod, he sang and appeared to be in a very jolly humor. flTpu arc happy," said hisgucst, "in possessing the faculty of diverting your self J., si would givo all that I possess in the world, to be as gay as you are." f'Al I Indeed! What prevents you?" said tho fishermen. . "My joy costs me nothing, and I have never had any oc casion for sadness. Have you any great sorrow ;that does not permit you to enjoy yourself 2" . tAlas !" replied tho traveller,'"every- body believes me to be the happiest of j men. I was a morchant, and sueoedod in accumulating great riches j but I have 'not had a moment of repose.

XL fiivorite. You can imagine how in supportable that was. . This had made me want to die, to be rid of my cha grin. I retired in the evening to my chamber, very sad, and when I was alone, I wept. Suddenly there appear ed to me a tall man, with a very pleasing countenance, who said to me : 'AhbI , I pity thy misery. Dost thou wish to become tranquil ? Renounce the love of riches, and the, desire of honor !' , Alas ! sir, said I, to this man, I would wish it with aH my heart; bnt how can I sucoeed ? 'Quit the court, said he to me, and walk for two days on tho first road that presents its self to thy sight j the folly of a man prepares for the, a speetaclo which will cure thee forever of ambition. When thou hast journeyed two days, retrace thy steps and I firmly believe that nothing will prevent thee from living happily and in tranquility.' I have already journeyed one entire day in obedience to this man, and I will walk to-morrow, but I have little hope of the repose which he promised." Tho fisherman, having heard this story, could not prevent himself from admiring the folly of this ambitious one, who mado his happiness depend upon the smiles, and words of a prince. "I will bo charmed to see you re turn, andio hearjof your cure," said ho to the traveller. "Finiiihyourjourney, and in two days return to my cabin. I too am going to travel ; I have never been to the city, and I imagine that I shall be much pleased with the sights, and tho bustle that should be there." "That is a bad thought, said the traveller, since you are happy now, why seek to make yourself miserable ? Your cabin, appears to yon sufficient to-day, but, when you shall have seen the palaces of the great, it will appear to you very small, nnd verv mean. You are very content with your clothes, which scarcely cover you, but it will make you envious when you shall have examined the superb vestments of the rich." "Sir said the fisherman to hisgucst," "you speak like a book. Keep for yourself these beautiful reasons to learn how not to be sorry when others are smiled upon, or spoken to. Tho world is full of men who counsel others, when they cannot control themselves." The traveller mado no reply to this repartee, because it it not polite tb con tradict a person in his own house. On tho morrow he resumed his journey, and the fisher commenced his. At the end of two days the traveller, Azcel, who had encountered nothing extraordinary, returned to tho cabin. He found its owner seated before hia door, his head resting on his hand, and his eyes fixed upon the ground. "Of what do you think ?" asked Azael. 'I . think that I nm very unfortu- nato,"rcsponded the fisherman. "What have I done that God has made me so poor, when so many men are rich, and content ?" At this moment the man who had commanded Azasl to journey two days, and who was an angel, appeared before them "Why hast thon not followed the' advice given thee by Azml ? " said he to the poor fisher.' "Tho sight of the magnificence of the'oity has developed in thy soul, avarice and ambition ; they have chased from thee, joy arid peace. Moderate , thy desires, and thou shalt recover these precious ad' vantages.". ' ' - .S ' "That is easy for you to say'replied the fisherman,"but to me it is impossi ble and I feel that t shall always be unhappy,. unless God changes my situ ation." 1 .-in Vr' "That' would be for thy perdition," said the angel. "Bulieve me, do not wisk for more than thou bast" ," You have spoken 'well'aaid the flsherman,"but you 'cannot keep, me from desiring another situation.", 'God grants, sometimes, the wishes of (he tnibitious," replied the angel, otitis' In his anger, and toponisb then Since thou wish to perish, I oontent," aaid he.

Scarcely had he entered when there arose a great storm The fisherman wished "to return to the shore andlcacend tb the land," but he had jio means to accomplish it. It was then he cursed his ambition Useless regrets I . The sea swallowed him and his riches. And the angel said to Azsel "May this example make thee wise. The court where thou goest present ly, is a sea famous for shipwrecks, and tempests. Whilst thou 'canst yet gain the shore, do it. Thou shalt one day wish to do it, but without avail." Azrcl, frightened, promised obedl ence to the spirit. He left tho court, and went to the country, where he married a maiden, who had more vir tue than beauty, or fortune. Instead of trying to augment his great riches, he applied himself to enjoy them, with moderation, and to help the poor. He lives happy and content, and every day thanks God for having cured him of avarice, and ambition, which had. before, poisoned all the good fortune of his life. . PuiXADELruiA, Oct. 20, 18G7. Bl'XDRY ni'Jinrcs. The American Agriculturist, for this month "shows up" sundry humbugs as follows : The list of huiubujrs for the last month is quite long. 1 o our advice, and do business, as far as possible, with those only who are wellknownandreliablcdealers. Wright Bros. & Co. are filling the country with their circulars, oilering rare chances to obtain fino watches valued at from 15 to $100 for only a $10 greenback, and a trifle for a case and postage. Among other styles is n Silver Hunting Chro nometer, valued at $100 recommended as a splendid article. With a pocket ful of tickets wo "dropped in" to their place, . or rather, wc climbed up, and found their very small rooni on the top floor, and examined some of their stock. It is the kind Known among dealers in bogus, and that word means the same all over tlio country, though it may not be in the dictionaries tliut is, not what it is represented to be. We purchased the Hunting Chronom eter, valued at $100, ns a curiosity. It has a little silver in the case, perhaps two dollars worth; the movement very showy, and it will tick a few times if shaken very hard, and kept bottom upwards ; turn it over, and it is dead as a hammer, and as a time keeper it is utterly useless. . The "American Watch," described ns re tailing at 535 to ?15, with 2 oz. solid, ailtsnt It ii tit it - wici-tn Yta an nr titijl lllVLIj 11111111111 1..IOVOJ l) PUIVy MU "the man" told us that both case and movement were made in this city, it was stamped "Union Watch Company, New York." There is no such insti tution in the city, nnd no such watches were ever made here. An importer in Maiden Lane examined our $100 Duplex, and offered to sell the same article, which he had in stock and showed us, for $0,75 gold, or $!,50 greenbacks. ITie Union atch Coin pany's Watch in Hunting Case, pre cisely like the one of W.B. & Co's. and which we wero informed was vhile metal, and not silver, was ofi'ercd for $8.25 crccuWks. Wc warn onr renders again that those parties who are induced by private circulars nnd tickets to buy watches or other articles, represented as worth several times tho price asked, will find their money gone and themselves sold. C. Jj. V un Al len, who told us a while ago that his name was A. D. Bowman, now assures us that their is nosuch person, lie is advertising:, however, in the name of A. D. Bowman & Co. Mr. Van Allen advertises also to sell rights to make "Eureka Oil," which is represented ns very cheap, not explosive, can be made by everybody, etc. We received a letter from a chemist stating that this article is very dangerous, so we obtain ed a sample bottle r,f the "Eureka Oil." It is simnlv benzine with rjcrhans. slight additions, and explode at readi ly at gunpottdei'. Any man who re commends the manufacture of such stuff by unskilled hands, deserves the gallows or the, penitentiary for life, Don t ' touch ' ij, or the advertiser of it, in any' way.

TllEM.IXnTtlAoVEn- Cousin Kate was a sweet widc awako beauty of about seventeen, and she took it into her head to go down to Long Island to sec somo relations of hers who had tho mislortune to live there. Among these relations there chanced to be a young swain who had seen Kate on a previous occasion, and seeincr. fell deep v in love with her. He called at the house on' the evening of her arrival, and she met him on the piazza where she was enjoying the even ing air in company with two or three ot her friends. The poor fellow was so bashful that ho could not find his tongue for some tune. At length he stammered out. ' "How's your mother 1" "Quite well, thank you." Another silence on the part of Josh, during which Kate and her friends did tho best they could to relieve th6 mon tony. After waiting about ' fifteen minutes for hirti to commence to make himself acreeable he asrain broke the silence by- ' . , "Hows your lather?" which was answered much after the same fashion as tho first one, and then followed an other silence like the other. -"How's your father and mother?" again nut in the bashful lover. "Quite well, both of them.": xhis wasfullowed by an exchange of glances and a suppressed smile. I his Irtsted some ten minutes more, dining which Josh was fidgeting in his seat and stroking his Sunday Mat. liut at length anotlicr question came "I low's your parents ?" This produced an explosion that made the woods ring. ' A Story with a 2Ioiiai,. A Connecticut exchange tells the following story of a boy, who was sent from Crotnn, Connecticut, to New London one day last Bummer with bug of ereen corn. The boy was gone all day, and returned with the bag unopened which he dumped on the floor saying t ; There is your com j go nd sell It, I can't1' "Sold any r" '." "Not been all oyer London with It, and nobody said anything concerning green com. Two or three fellows asked me what I bad in my bag, and I told them it was none of their business what it was I" Tho boy is not unlike hundreds of mer chants, who will promptly rail bim a fool for not leiungwnat lie bad to sell. Tbey are actually (loir g the same thing on a much larger scale than did the boy, by not adrerthdng their business. Cactiou to Vkteraks. Our exchanges are cautioning toldiers all through the country, against parties representing themselves to be sent fura Washington, with Instruction to soldiers and claim agents for the collection of additional bounties, and also stating that the soldiers of 1801 are entitled to one hundred and sixty acres of land. Tho object of these parties Is to obtain the dates, numbers of regi ments and officer's signatures as they appear. Yi ltb these dates, forged application for pay would probably bo mad out.

( On 'Wednesday nitrht last, loner be fore seven o'clock, the large hall at Cooper Institute was crowded to re pletion .with an intelligent assemblage, who had collected to hear the address of Speaker Colfax. Mr. Colfax said s When the bullet of the assassin crash ed through the noble and cencrons brain of Abraham Lincoln, there was no one who clapped his hands for iov at the unnatural murderer, that does net now clap his hands' with toy over the policy of the man, whom Wilkes Booth's net elevated from the Vice Presidency to the position of the Pres ident of the United States. Nor is that all. The last wish of that miser able assassin, who sleeps in his dis honored grave, show that when he murdered your President was tb have a man in the Presidential chair over whose every act rebels should, rejoice with exceeding joy. - Ho has passed away ; but if he could come back from the cerements of the grave, and look upon this country, be would send un his peons of joy that his dying , wish had been fulfilled.

We looked on, anxiously waiting for the runs ui uio wora. . al was cauea at the time "an experiment," He was going to see what would be the result of it; and it was finally to be submit ted to Congress for ratification. IIis Secretary; of State declared this ex plicitly to (iov. Martin, of Honda, and Gov. Sharkey, of Mississippi: and when Congress assembled, Mr. John son presented us with the results of his policy. And what were they? In every State that had been - recon structed under1 his policy, a Governor had been elected, who had either been in the armies of treason or In the Coun cils of treason hot one solitary cxeen. tion. In every State recoastructcd by Mr. Johnson, in the Legislative de partment the Rebels had supremo and unlimited power. In tho Judicial de partment it was the same. They were triumphant in every branch ot every department of every one of the Rebel States reconstructed by Mrt Johnson. The Union men were ruled by a rod ot iron, and the treed men wero gov erned by laws merciless in their char actcr, atid intended to restoro those emancipated slaves to a condition that that would be worse than that from which they had by the will of the na tion just eseaped. Mr. Johnson show ed us his policy, and said to the American Congress, "These are my jewels." We looked at them. We did not dare, before tho country and before the onlooking world, to say, "Yea and amen" to it., How could we ? And because we did not, he has warred on us ever since, and the highest ambition of his heart now is to destroy the party which elevated him from the Military Governorship of Tennessee to tho Vice-Presidency of the Union ; and to-day, if bo could, he would surrender the party which elected him Vice-President into the power of the men who elected Jefferson Davis their President. He talks about our usurpation 1 Usurpation! He said we put those States under mili tary rule! So did the President. lie said we required Conventions to be called. So did the President. He said we required them to submit their Constitutions to tho people lor rati li cation. So did not the President He said we established a test vote for suffrage. So did the President He said wo demanded tho ratification of a Constitutional amendment. So did the Prcsident he, doing it without law; we doing it by Inw ho having no power to make a law; wo having by the Constitution the power to make laws. Yci he call us usurpers 1 That is not all. When he came to appoint otliccrs in the bouthcrn bt'S, whom did he select ? Did he take the faith ful Union men, who dared to stand fast against enormous odds by the banner of their country ? Oh, no When he came to appoint officers revenue oljiecrs, custom-iiouso officers, surveyors, Ac.. nearly every one of them was, taken from the traitors of I the South, and not from the Union men. And those men, thus clothed with power by your President, turned round to these Uunion men in the South, nnd said to them, "You thought, when tho old flag came back in triumph, you were going to hold positions or trust over us. Tho Gov ernment nt Washington know better than that. They know you havn't any influence. They want the men who dared to defy tho Nation, and to wage war that cost the blood of hun dreds of thousands of you Yankee sol diers. You take back scats ; and if we allow you to remain here, you may thank ns for the permission." That was tho result of his policy. But these officers could not take tho test oath. We passed a law in 1862 that no man could hold an appointed or elective effice under the Government unless he could take an oath that he had not voluntarily Participated in Rebellion; and we put in, furthermore this sections That no officer shonld draw money out of the Treasury until he nied this oath. Bo, when these mon had served, tbev came to the door of the Treasury and said, "We want our pay, but we won't take the oath." They went to . Johnson, and through his Cabinet official he said, "These men held office, bnt they can't draw their pay," and we said to him, "Not one iarthing ot the people's money ever shall go into the pockets of these men." "Uoodr' Applause.! And because we said that, he has been war ring upon us ever since,, denouncing us. "Torn him ontl" Sometimes those w ho defend him say he is carry ing out Mr, Lincoln's policy. Look at the States Mr. Lincoln attempted to reconstruct during the Rebellion Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and West Virginia, carved out of old Vir- nin. ' He placed them all' in the da of loyal men. Look at the States "reconstructed" by Mr. Johnson every one of them into the hands of KeJiels the difference between the brilliant light of the ami at noonday and the darkness of midnight Mr. Lincoln never made Johnson Gover nor of Tennessee until he first made him a brigadier in the army . of the United ; States, confirmed by ' the Senate.

'. On the 2d day of April, 1866, when Jojmson issued his procla mation declaring peace established. He has a number of whereases: he put them all in this six or eight of tlicra. I will not read them J he recites the various proclamations by which these States were declared in rebellion, and then, goes on and says . 1 1 1 i ( "And whereas, tho laws can be sus tained nnd enforced therein by proper civil authority, State or Federal, and the people of said States are well and loyally disposed." No doubt tlrey were well and loyally disposed. You saw it when 600 ne groes in tho South were wantonly killed since we made them free. You have seen it in the outrages upon white men because they were Union menl You see his policy and its results, which culminated at Memphis and New-Orleans in the murder of white men, whose crime was that they sought to reconstruct on a loyal basis. He then adds, "Whereas standing armies, military occupation, martial law, military tribunals, Ac, are in time of pence dangerous," &o. Every one knows that in time past but for the army no Union man m the South was safe. He then goes on and says tlint peace is established. The Con stitution says Congress shall have power to declare war, Ac. The power to declare war carries with it the power to make peace. Your fathers knew if there was to bo war the peo ple who wero to lay down their lives had the right to say when it should be declared, and when it should be stop pod, as well as to secure the nation against its inconvenience. His pro clamation was not worth the paper on wiuon ii was written, in July, I8U2, the Congress of the United States pass ed a law authorizing the President to issue an Amnesty Proclamation, on such terms as ho might see fit, for the purpose ot ending tho war. Mr, Lincoln issued it, basing it on this law, and it was spurned bv the Rebels. In January, 1867, not having as much faith in Mr. Johnson as we had had in Mr. Lincoln, knowing that he was pardoning Rebels with the very same hand ho was striking down Republi cans, we repealed the act we had pass- uu. j. ucii, as n to aery tne law, he issued this "Amnesty" proclamation for the pardon of Rebels. A pardon which the President has the constitu tional power to grant is no more like an amnesty than a marriage licenso is like a statute. A license affects only the parties procuring it, and they use it if they please, as a person accepts or reflects a proffered pardon. A statute aflects the whole community. He knew ho had no power to issue it ; even Jerry Rlaek, who is so constantly at his ear, is reported to have told him he had no power to issue it. I sup pose he found out last year that we didn t want him for President, so per haps he thought we would have him for king.. ' 1-innghtcr. Therefore, nc issued this amnesty proclamation, with a number of "whereases," that the laws are now enforced in tho States lately in insurrection, and the people of the said States are well and loyally disposed : that larsre standing armies and military governments are incom I ... . o patible with the rights guaranteed by the Constitution; that a retaliatory and vindictive policy inflictine pains and penalties, confiscation and disfran chisement, now na always, can only tend to hinder reconciliation, therefore he declared a general amnesty, excep ting only some two or three hundred persons, with restoration of all their privileges, immunities, and righto of property, except as to property with regard to slaves. I say that that am nesty proclamation was thrown inten tionally by him into the very teeth of the people and Congress by this would be autocrat to show us how he defied us, and how little he remembers or re gards his official oath. ' The preamble of the original Military hilj and the same doctrine is embodied in the two supplemental bills states that whereas no legal State governments or adequate jji uiwuun ui me vr jjrupony now exist in the Rebel States of Virginia. Ac. and whereas it is necessary that peace and good order should be enforced in said States, and loyal and Republican State governments be legally estab lished, therefore it is provided that there shall be five military districts, and that those persons who have been perjured as officers of the State or the General Government, as well as trai tors, should not be voters, but should occupy back seats. ' This bill declares that no legal governments exist there, and this declaration is subsequently rcpeatea . in tne supplemental bills. But Mr. Johnson's amnesty procla mation declares expressly that they have civil governments there., , Al though, in that 'bill we demand the disfranchisement for the present ef certain classes of Rebels, yet in the very teeth of that law he hurls defiance at that- provision. 1 1 want ' to call rouf lAtteattoa to his i oath.

There cannot be ft . department or officer of the Govern ment with any power except by au thority of the Congress of tho United States, and they only, ' The Constitution cives the Presi dent power, after Congress has passed runs, to veto them ; and then if Con gress re-passes them by a two-thirds vote, then his oath as President ope rates as the' Constitution prescribes,' What is that oath ? He "shall take carothnt the laws bo faithfuly exe cuted." Our fathers made that instru ment for war as well as for peace, for the hurricane as well as the calm so made that instrument that I have never thought it necessary to go outside the Constitution for authority for all that we have done, but believe that the power to declare war carries with it all the power of the laws of nations in war. This isall I wnnt. Applause! Our fathers, with . wiso enimeity. thought thero might be a President some time who would not like the laws - which Congress had passed, and might wish to set up a policy of his own against them, and they required that every President should swear that he . would execute the laws. They did not stop there. They said, "You shall swear that you will faithfully execute these laws, though they may bo con-; trary to your policy. Your oath as Executive requires you not only to tvr- . eoute them, but to faithfully execute them." , That means with teal and fi delity, and honestly. They do not stop there. They insert words which are found nowhere else, peculiar words, quaint words that do not occur any where else in your National Constitu tion. They said, he shall swear that ho will "take care that the laws be faithfully executed." It shall bo tho object of his heart's zeal to do it with the whole vigor of his nature, with the whole power of the Government, en listed in the work of "taking care that tho laws bo faithfully executed." Who will say that Andrew Johnson has faithfully kept that oath r"No."l No. He would not say so himself. Applause. There has licen a good deal of misrepresentation of what I said in Ohio. I will say again exact ly what I said there. I don't intend, liko Mr. Johnson, to bike back my words. I said that when Congress assembled again, if they find that the laws cannot bo executed, that the President will not execute them, but on the contrary use his Executive power to resist the laws of Congress, . and to keep this country in turmoil, thon I say there is only one resort, and our fathers put upon us tho re sponsibility of that resort. Great cheering. A voice "Impeach him." What I have said has been taken down. I am not responsible for what others see fit to put into my mouth ; . but am responsible for what I Baysand will not take back one word. Ap- . plause. Rut this is not all. I wish : wo could close this political record here ; but it is blacker even than this. Let me take you down to Fort Fisher.. When the attack upon it had been re pulsed ; when' distinguished engin eers had reported that its suc cessful assault was almost impracti cable, and that it could not be reduced, Mr Lincoln felt the necessity of its capture to oloso up tho rebel running port of Wilmington, the port which by its supplies from abroad, kept alive the spirit of the Rebellion, and he sent for a brave officer from Connecticut, Gen. Terry. He said to. him i "I have a forlorn hope for yon to lead ; I want you to go down to that fort, hurl your men on it; capture that fort and plant tho stars and stripes over it, or leave your men there." Gen. Terry felt that was exactly the duty of a soldier. He desired no greater glory. He infused his men with he roism like his own; told them haw much depended on the effort; in broad ' daylight they poured upon it over ri- ' fie pits, and catteries and bastions. They fought man to man, and foot to foot tore down that banner ,black with rebellion and red with blood, and up lifted the banner of beauty and glory in its stead. Great cheering, - After , they came back reoeivincr the srreatful plaudits of the country, and the de serving thanks of Mr. Lincoln, Gen. lerry was sent by him to command ; the department of Virginia, where he performed his duty . faithfully. The Legislature of Virarinia. reconstructed under the President's Policy, passed ft vagrant law, with which you are fit- milliar, and which I don t intend to ; read to you. Gen.
