'J'iio l'lencli author of the lay fiom
which we obtain ,:tha L'ei iotis Family ' and
the inimitable Aminidab Sleek has shown
that philanthropy is rot always unprofitable,
but can be n:;t;1e, in. some band-', excecdliiL-ly
remunerative. Wo perceive that tho j'ii
Lime has become tho recipient of the im
mense adveiUiin.? patronage of our copper
head city Col oration. This "plum" U
worth liity or sixty thousand dollars a year
at the lowest cikulat'on. The Corpo.uiion
u at the present indebted to tho llnr.Al.D
to the amount of over tv.enty-fivo thouiaud
dollar.! for pa.-it iitlvei tj.sitij; ; but although
the bill was contracted coma time ago wo
cannot get nny money out of thetn. It
teems tobo diiTercnt with the T, !luuc The
coppeihcadj of tho Corporation have been
entirely wen over by Greeley's slutw bail
bond for Jeff L'aviH, an old dcmociat and
rebel, and arc pouring their advertisements
and patronnee into his lap with profuse
iberality. The bail bond signed by Greeley
for JciTDiirU holds tho former liablo for
live thousand dollars. f tho chief uf the
rebellion should run away and leave his bail
in the lurch, and if which is very unlikely,
Chief Justice Chase fhould call iijon him
to appear, Greeley would probably havo to
pay live thousand dollars ibr hU bond. The
lifty or sixty thousand dollars bestowed upon
him by tho admiring copperhead Corpora
tion would well remunerate him for hislo-u.
So, after all, Greeley has made a good thine:
out of his bail bond and his philanthropy.
He has taken upon himself tho very distant
chance of being held liable for fivo thousand
dollars at some future day, and has secured
the substantial reward of fifty or sixty
thousand dollars in one year from tho no
torious Corporation of tho city of New
York. ' lie can well alTord, on these terms,

In tracing tho history of Pennsylvania,
it is a pleauig rotlocthm lo traeo the long
lii t of Penioeratie Governors who havo fill
ed tho Exoculivo chair of Stato, in the days
of our prosperity. Since tho days of Thomas
Mifilin her first Governor, tho people havo
come forward in fupport of Democr.ilio
principle.", to establish the porpetuily of
this glorious and proyrosiv ron. toleration.
U is true, that from tho period to which wo
refer, tho demnwalio party has been at
times defeated, but such calamilic.i to tho
country were of seldom occurrence, nnd oc
raifioncd by want of unity among Demo
crats. Not until within a few years, has
(he opposition succeeded in holding power
for nny coiis'di rablo time, and those years
havo been years of war and blood and carn
age. They have been year,, through which
the nation has struggled, through the dark
est hours of its nationality. Tory was tho
original iiamo of that paily which now op
pose us, under the name of lludicals and
loyal Abolitionists. It opposed nt then, as
is doing now, became of its hostility to our
institution.'. It sympathized with King
Gf-orge I I f, duriitg our revolutionary. strug
,tde fort'ii:) rca-o;i, and to-day it opprves u,
because it wants a coneciitratioii of power.
Wo say this party is identilied with aris-t-vratic
tendencies. IMueh ado is made in
favor of tho laboring classes, when political
favors tiro anticipate, but ul other times
tho scoff and sneer at tho laboring man, are
of no uncommon occurrence. Snino of its
leaders have even cast the finger of scorn at
the laborer, because ho has not been able nn
public occasions to make his appearance in
bread ln'.h nml line linen, lie his even
been stykd the "rl.'p of the town," by
these luyal lovers of "American citizens of
African decent. " And yel they won! 1 ask
(he poor hone it Irishman and (1,'riuni to
tuppott them in power, and inako the sons
of Ethiopia a lit tie better than the Gods.
Look at the legislative enactment.! of

years of citkenship, were actually required
to give the foreigner? a vote, while the black

nified his intention to become su h. This
is the sentiment, the mi .-taken philanthropy
taught by this party, which scorns lo accept
into full fellowship, the pour laboring class-
r.'td open-" its arms to ri-'eiyq wiih en
dearing embraces all the fraternity of I 'ne'e

An effort is being made, on the part of
Certain leadii'g ladies in fa.hionablu circles,
tumbling in a new style of wearing the hair.
They arc proceeding on tho piinciplo that
duty unadorned is adorned the most, and
hence all chignons, rats waterfalls, hair pins,
bands and other excrescences with which it
is eustomaiy to lumber up the head and rot
the hair, are lo be discarded. Tho hair, in
short, is to bo worn jut as nature made it,
hanging loosely over the shoulders or flowing
down gracefully behind. This modr, of
course will bo rtouily resisted by such of the
dear 'creatures its nature has not given a
bountiful supply of head covering; but,
uevcrihehviS, it is believed tho experiment
will be a success hen once it has a fair trial.
The chignon makers and tho perukcrs are
turning up their noses at the very suggestion,
but the disinterestedness of ihoir motives is
perfectly understood. The feeling seems to
be that, as our mothers, wives, tisters nnd
daughters arc absolutely compelled just now,
to wear other people's hair or to bo out of
the fushion, it is about time that somo of
tho srx had butlicient moral courage to show
bow their own hair can bo worn, ami how
therefore, tho feminine caput can bo made
to look, not tho hideous Inuiipy-dumpy it
now is, but "a thing of beauty," if not a
"joy forever."
t;2f A lady about to marry was warned
that her intended, although a good man,
was very eccentrio. "Well,'' she said, "if
ho is very unlike other men, ho is more
likely to make a good husband."
toiif" "iMy dear young lady," exclaimed ft
gentleman, "I urn astonished at your senti
ments. You actually mako mo start on
my word you do." "Well, sir," replied the
damsel, "I've been wanting you to jstart for
the last hour."
Qr An English doctor sent in his bill
to a disconsolate widow, "for curing her
husband till he died,"
Ati i:a"vctlvv Speech.
'A speech, a speech from AVilton !' cried
the thoughtless fellows.
'He can't mako a speech on cold waler, I
defy him,' said ono of their number.
'My friends,' began Wilton.
'Hear, hear! he's really in for it now,
pitiful signs of his devotion to tho bottle.
'Wilton is on his foot.'
Tho comrade they culled Wilton was n
young man twenty threo years of ago. Up
on his face, within his eyes, a settled melaii
chuly rested, llis manners wero ns grave
as those of an old man. lie was often cull
ed 'Wilton the steady,' on account of his
quiet adherence to principle.
The head Partner in tho firm in whose
employ Wilton was, gave a great party once
a year, and it was to this gathering Wilton
had been per.-uade l to oomo.
In vain bis companion lemplcd him vwlh
tho wino that flowed freely. The 'firm con
sidered themselves good Christian.', its, in
deed, did the world generally. They gave
larevly to charities and to their church
where their seats wero seldom empty. They
did a great deal of good with their money ;
yet in placing this liery temptation before
young men, some of whom were as yet with
out lixed principle:', they committed a gross
and almost fatal error. Looking about him
Wilton saw already many flushed, almost to
inebriation j many eyes that spite of their
flash and sparkle, moved with difficulty, nnd
that diro unsteadiness that luniks the incip
ient stage of drunkenness.'
'My friends,' ho said, und then paused as
if to give greater emphasis to what might
lollow. I am going to make a coulee-ion.
Some of the company smiled at ibis, but
sa 1, yet earnest tone- of his voice.
'Five years ago I had a brother, n bright,
beautiful lad, in whom tho hopes' of a largo
family centered, lie was called a genius,
a'ld bo was one. r'.-nsitive, geuile-heartcd,

be a .sierct one, and we were each to carry
from our home, if we could, provisions and
wine. It came off with success. There
was n good cheer, thero were bright and
flowing liipiurs ; we were all young and buoy
ant. My brother bad never la.-tcd wine.
Whether it was a disinclination eaucd by
ii tttii'al di.dike, or whether his institution'-1
I d him to avoid it a.i dangerous to him, I
do not know. I only know and the recol
lection is at this mouieiit burning in my

we did. I was foremost in the attempt. I

my conduct. knew be bad a manuscript
poem, that had been pronounced remarka

improvise i.luml without mental effort, and
expcetj'l that, under tho sti.nule.-i of a fiery
si-rpviit whoc s'ing I dioa I moro thau I

and we ,'hoind be charmed, perhaps amaz
ed, nt the exhibition of his rare gilts.
'At l.i.-t we prevailed, but instead of
quickening, the wine, stuptlic-1 his icuulties.
A few glasses reduced him tea state of utter
inebriety.
'The party broke up. Yo wero all wild
with drunk and excitement bo Mono was
immovable, on 1 qnito insensible. ' There
was no rousing him from the stateof deathly
sleep into which he bud fallen: I dared
not take him homo that night, fearing that
our frolic might be found out inconsequence
of tho trouble we tdiould have in getting
him to his room. Po we left, him there ly
ing as comfortable as wo could place him
his handsome face flushed Riid almost pur
ple, bis active brain, for once, completely
stupefied.
'In tho morning, I was awakened by the
sounds of sobs. A white, sacred face stood

'O, Phillip your pt-or brother !'

3"Capt. John O. Ryan, tho "mys
terious prisoner," who was arrested and
confined in 1S66 as tho supposed John II.
Suratt, is about to prosecute tho Govern-;
ment for false imprisonment;
A fearful Adventure.
A young man in Iona County, Michigan,
last week decetided a well to clean out tho
sand at tho bottom. While he was thus
I'ngagnd, the stones began to fall, and his
faelier, hearing the rumbling, shouted to
him "jump on the bucket," und immedi
ately commenced drawing him up with all
possible speed. The stillness of the next
minute or two was intense, and tho scene aw
ful, lie was kept in advanco of tho falling
masses of stones and dirt that were filling
the cavernous depths below him, till within
fifteen feet of the surface. Tho caving in
was too rapid, and thu stones caught and in
stantly wedged him in. As soon as possi
ble the neighbors were aroused, and in a
short timo a hundred or two were at Ihe
scpiiu of the disaster. The young man was
still alive, as they learned from time lo
time, by hearing his smothered groans and
faint, answers to their questions.
The work of reselling him commenced al
finec, great caro being used, as stone after
stono was gently removed, least tho treach
erous und sandy earth around should be dis
turbed nnd cave in anew, and thus fill up
the interstices which might oiheiwise afford
air to sustain life for some hours at least.
The anxiety of course, was most intense,
aud the su-pense of his parents ntid friends
fearful, while their hopes alternately rose
and fell, us now they could distinguish a
groan, or a feeble response to their ques
tioning, and anon all would be still again.
Finally, alter four hours labor, they n ach
ed the sufferer, and found him silling upon
the sharp edges of the bucket, with a large
boulder in his lap ; sitting erect, with bis
head thrown back against a portion of the
circular wall, und two or three stones re.-ting
ngtiitist his head, mid so inclined as to rest
against ihe, wall nnd inch other, and
"wed.ee." lie wa.) securely held immova
ble in bis position, and foituuately the
stones were so arched and keyed that they
did not again stal l during ull the time that
ihe men were engaged in digging him out.
On being rai-ed to the open air, tho young
man swooned, but soon revived. No bones
wero broken, and bis bruises wero so slight
that uller two or three days he was out, ap
parently in his usual health.

It was a wise law of the ancient Jews,
that ihe sons of even tho wealthiest men
should bo made to srvo an apprenticeship
at some useful occupation, so that in ca.-c
of reverse of fortune thev lu'mht have
oiimthws4o-'fa,bhii.k upon." The-f anicf41
law .-till exists in turkey, wliere every man,
even the Sultan himself, must learn a trade.
How fortunate would it be now had it been
a law m tins country! Would to lnv.1
that I had a trade-:" is the cry qf thousands
of retiiiiicd soldiers North and South, who
find them.-elves ruined in pocket, with no
imiimdiiile prospect of gaining a livelihood,
t should tench parents that whatever elwj
they may give their eons, they should give
them a tiade.
So far as the eliu-utioii of their children
in lite .sjciico ul' keeping proper accounts is
rtincci'iieil. the idea is a i:ood one, as cvi'ij
man should have a Milikient knowledge to
manag.i his own looks, should ho ever cm
bark in business, but to make book Keepers
and clerks of all our boys is a grand mis
lake, Jfctter place them in a work -.hop,
mill, or foundry, where they can learn inde
pendent trades, which, at all limes will se
cure for tin in employment at any time,
and the pecuniary compensation for which
will bo at least as much, if not inoie, tbun
tho business of account.
Yt'e titritislly advise nil parents to trseh
their sous trades, no matter what, so that it
is an industrious pursuit, and let us in fu
ture be saved the pain of seeing so many
stout able bodied young men cut of em
ployment, and seeking situations where the
pen only can be uscil.
Ei.oque.va' 1'as.s.uik. The finest thing
Geo, l. l'iCutiee ever wrote is this inimita
ble ','asi-age :
"It cannot be that earth is mail's only
abiding place. It cannot bo that our life is
a bubble cast up by tho ocean of eternity to
float a moment upon its waves, and sink in
to nothingness. Else why is its high and
glorious aspirations w hich leap like angels
from the temple of our hearts forever unsat
isfied ? Why is it that tho rainbow and
cloud come over tu with a beauty that is nut
of earth ; and then pass off to leave us to
muse on their lovlii'ftx ? Why is it that the
stars which hold their festival around tho
midnight throne are set above the grasp of
our limited faculties forever mocking us with
their unapproachable glory? And finally,
why is it that the bright forms of human
beauty are presented lo our view and taken
from us, leaving (ho thousand streams of
our affections to How back in and Alpine
torrent upon our hearts? Wo are born for
a higher destiny than that of earth. There
is a realm where the rainbow never fades,
where the stars will bo spread out before us
like the islands that slumber upon the ocean
and where tho beautiful beings which pass
before us like shadows will fetay forever in
our presence.

The climax of my pain was capped.

And in an elemental rout,

While idle boys set up a shout,
At thee, umbrella.
And now thou rest in nt'ie loft,

And prize ibeo tor thy service done,

It was staled u few weeks since that Gen

fication of the Sherman requirements. It
appears now that ho has written no such
letter. It has since been stated by a letter
writer to the New York JliralJuwl Cincin
nati! Luinmari'ii mat iicucriu Jcc, in u
conversation with the writer regretted that
his views had been made public, but that ho
had no hesitation in saying lo his friends

Unfortunately for those who wero willing
to drag General Lee from his dignified re
tirement, in order to obtain tho weight of
bis great mtme upon a mere partisan ques
tion, it turns out that- the reported letter
and conversations have been manufactured
out of whole cloth. Tho Richmond
(i'tircr bas.antho.ily for declaring that
General Leo neither spoke nor wrote tho
sentiments attributed to him, and, as a
matter of course, tho individual who started
the report in such an emphatic manner has
invented a roimuieo without foundation in
fact. It matters not what Gen. ,eo' views
are ; be prelers lo keep them from the
world, and this attempt to drug him out is
an exhibition of diplomacy suitable to tbe
spirit of this tricky cm, but unkind aud
oilennivo beyond comparison.
The I.'nijuirtr, having braudci tb im
posture concluded thus ;
"We think General Lee is entitled to
have his wishes respected in reference to
such publications; and wo think further,
'"f ''etitenco w hich-heriinrlinpTrsctl

of his position, and from the dedication
of himself to duties and pursuits tho least
congenial with politics is digmlied. becom

hereafter, under any stress of difficulty in
maintaining himself, undertake to drag out
General Lee, and either knowingly or, as in
the late case, unknowingly, declare Lis
opinion."

When Geary was inaugurated Governor
he endeavored to attract attention by making
n grand' flourish about the pardoning power.
With mneh parade he announced curtain
rules by which ho said ho intended to bo
governed in all cases of the kind. Whether
this was done to deceive the publie as to
his real intentions is not definitely known,
but his conduct would lead to the supposi

pardoning power, not refusing in any in

"Deur Sir .'In acknowledging the re
ceipt of the blanks which you wero ho kiud

it is nevertheless true, that my financial
standing docs not, and from' nil appearances
will not allow me to assist in lubricating the

requosted. -
"1 have sonic little properly, and although
not enumerated in tho printed sheet, will
you allow me, if for nothing else than my
own gratification, to place them in my
assets :
"One little buy marc named ' ,' (sound
and kind in all harness, stands without tying
aud eats anything,) and of but little value.
"A buggy, not yet paid for, though good
for several years. ( It is now repairing. )
'l have also a dog, five cats, and two
pigs, and thcexes of the. latter are equally
represented.
"Judging from tho past, I am free to say
that if I keep the pigs through the sum
mer, I shall bo obliged to call upon (he
United Slates to r wrist me. I do not know
bow in the world I do get along, and am
happy only when I know that a rich man
cannot ente r the kingdom of Heaven.
"iMy clothes are all second-hand, and my
boots are about gone. No tailor has made
me a suit for years ; and since the publish-,
ing of Income Returns wan commenced, my
credit has been sadly shaken. Rut, being
poor, I get hope ami strive and work, and
wish, and, belter than all, I am happy.
Find tho man who pays his twenty thous
and income, then como and visit mo, and
judge yourself of 'life among tho lowly,'
and which is the happier.

excel his fitber in financial ability, of which
no one who knows me doubts, aud that you,
Mr. , may live long euough to visit him
