How the American 13naday School Un
ion Lost its Money.
A correspondent of the Boston Journal
ho protisses to be lisiketl up" ou the
business of the Suudny School Un io n, give' ,
the following testimony of . W. Por
ter's operations whreby he tiwainped
000 of the kinds of that institution.
In a letter recently laid before the Hoard
of for Sunday School Union, he (Porter)
has made a, complete confession. Ile began
his wrong doing nineteen years ago. The
plan was the satnc that he pursued to the
last. —His temptation began with the mull
bet ry and silkworm speculation nineteen
year , ago and under the garb of religion he
has for that long time carried on his dishon
est plans.—lle allows that at the start he
knew it was wrong ; but he hoped to bo
able to meet the notes arrv•they matured.
But as he was unable to Rio to, he was com
pelled to renew his notes and pay a heavy
boims. Thus for nineteen years, ho has
been treading the thorny path of min, praised
for virtues that ho knew ho did oft possess,
and taking of the sacrament, which, accord
ing to his own professed faith, was adding
damnation-to-himself -with each - unworthy
reception. Ile defrauded the Society out of
Over 880,000 ; but the Philadelphia broker
who aided him to the dishonest gain,
promptly paid all the notes that his name
was on, and the loss was lessened nearly
$40,000. Mr. Porter confesses that in the
nineteen years or fraud, ho has used the
name of the Society to the large amount of
8600,000, by renewals and re-issues,. No
wonder he is a sick man—one whom, if the
law dose not reach, the grave will soon cover
up.—Ninetaen years of fraud and crime,
end perpetrated in the name of religion—
with despair looking him in the face—ex
posure waiting for Op at the corners of
each street—with ten:lft° gnawing a4-b
heart.,—and_ the worm that dies got hasten:
jug to his repast.
The Gentleman
"Re a gentleman at home," enjoin the

lady; speakilig of a wealthY• countryman of
hers, said, .• lie neverasks the most. trifling
service otitis dependents without address
ing them as politely as he would speak to a
line lady." Why not, surely I Would he
descend to rudeness, and toward servants ?
If one is a gentleman, the fact is annourm
ed by an uninistakable cheerfulness in the
face of his wife—a serenity indicative of sat
isfaction and happiness.
We have seen men abroad, oh, how tare-
Llo so polite and agreeable that they fas
cinated all their lady acquaintances ; so
gentle, that the woman wished John was
more like them—in some respects ; but, nt
home, the gentleness was put off and, laid
by as a holiday garment 'which ,lioino use
would soil. The ,;miles were all transferred
to the icicles pendent from the eaves out

The Death Cloak
We have recently been informed of a tru•

to a tinnily residing in Newport, Kentucky.
W e relate the peculiarities of this clock as
they we're related to us, loaving our-raiders
to draw their own conclusions as to the
mystery. Our informant is one that cap bo
relied on. The clock is of simple construc
tion, and belongs to thefamilyof
but all the efforts of the clookmakers have
not been able to make it keep time, consi
fluently it has been permitted to rest in si
lence. A few hours before the doath.of Mr.
L—'s sister, which took place some time
ago, the clock suddenly struck ono, after a
silence of Several months. It - then. oontin
tied silence until another member of the
family was prostrate with a fatal •malady,
when it again struck ono, and on the follow
ing day the child was buried. A year
elapsed, when a second child sickened and
died ; the clock was punctual in sounding
one a f e w hours previous to his death. A
third child, a little boy fifteen months old,
was afflicted with scaofula, which baffled
the skill of the physician, and on the third
der of this month its remains were deposit
ed in the grave. The clock gave the usual
warning and struck ono. It never failed
sounding a death-knell when any one of the
family in whose possession it now were
about to , die. There aro stranger thipgs
in hirriren and earth, Mratio, dun are
dreamt of in our philosophy."
