When in ease and comfort reclining, And golden success crowns his way— How friends will then flock about him; But if fortune should happen to frown, How quickly he'll get the "cold shoulder,' And be "kicked because he is doWn." How kindly the world will smile on him, When life with successes abound; How cordially, blandly, 'twill greet him As in pleasure he's riding around! But then let reverses o'ertake him, And Ills friends both in country and town, Hay° not a kind sentence to cheer him, But will "kick him as soon as he's clown."

When a man has plenty of " greenbacks," And he's healthy, and festive, and gay, He's counted a " bully, good chum," then, And the crowd approves all be may say; ButJustlot him loose his treasures, Perchance, too, his health may be gone, He'll got to be nobody quickly - And sure to be "kicked when. he's down," What's the use of being moral or honest, Or strive to bo upright and true ; ' For, unless a man has " lots ofrnoney," The world's bound to "put him right through;" They'll "go for him" certainly and surely, • From Jockey to priest in his gown— And all stand ready to snub him, And "kick him because is down." I, sgtiortilatuvuo The Blighted Life. A..,rcrAYN.Amlp.sTosvv. Wo had been out twenty-four hours, and stood eleven to one. The case 'was a very plain one—at least we eleven thought so. A murder of peculiar atrocity- had been committed, and - though no eye, bad wit nessed the deed, circumstances pointed to the prisoner's guilt with unfailing certainty. The recusant jury had stood out from the first. He acknowledged the cogency of the proofs, confessed his inability to reconcile the facts with the defendant's innocence, and yet, on every vote, wont steadily for acquittal. His conduct was inexplicable. It could not result from a lack of intelligence ; for, while be spoke but little, his 'words were well chosen, and evinced a thorough'under standing of the case. - Though still in the prime of manhood, his locks were prematurely white, and his face wore a singular, sad and thoughtftilexpres- QM Ile might be one of those who entertained scruples as to the right of society to inflict the death penalty. But no, it was not that; for, in reply to such a'sugestion, he frankly admitted that brutal men, like the vicious brutes they resemble, must be controlled through fear, and that dread of death, the supreme terror, is in many eases the only adequate restraint. At the prospect of another night of fruit less imprisonment , we began to grow impa tient, and expostulated- warmly against what seemed - an unreasonable captious ness, and some not overkind remarks were Indulged in as to the impropriety of trifling with an oath like that under which we were acting. "And yet," the man answered, as though communing with• himself rather than re pelling the imputation, "it is conscience that hin , lers my'concurrence in a verdict approved by my judgment." "flow can that be?" queried several at once. ' "'Conscience may not always dare to follow judgment.", "But here she.ean know noother guide." " I once would have said the same." " And what has changed your opinion ?" " Experience." The speaker's manner was visibly agitat ed, and we waited in silence the explana tion which he seemed ready to give. Mastering his emotion, as if in answer to our looks of inquiry, he continued : "Twenty years ago I - was a young man just beginninglife. Few had brighter pros pects, and none brighter hopes: " An attachment dating from , childhood, had ripened with-its object. There had been no verbal declaration and acceptance of loye—no blighting of troth ; but when I took my departure to seek 'a home in the distant West, it was understood that when I had found it and put it in order, she was to share it. , "Life in the (arrest, though solitary, is not necessarily lonesome. The lane of so ciety offered by nature depends much on one's self. As for me, I live more in the future than in the present; and Hope is en ever-cheerful companion. "At length the time came for making the final payment on the home which I had bought. It would henceforth be my own ; and in a few more months my simple dwell ing, which I had spared no pains to render inviting, would be graced by its mistress. " At the land office, which was some sixty miles off; I met my old friend, George C—. He, too, had come to'seels his fortune in the :West; and we were • both delighted at the meeting. Ho bad brought with -him, ho said, a sum.of•money which he desired to invest in land, on which it was his purpose to settle. I expressed a strong wish to have him fora neighbor, and gave,him u cordial in yitation to accompany me home, giving it 'as my belief that he could nowhere make a better selection than in that vicinity. * "Be - readily Consented, 'and we set out together. * We hid 'not ridden many miles, `when George suddenly recollected acorn mission 'he 'had undertaken for a friend, which would require his attendance at a public land sale on the following day. , - • " Exacting a promise that he would not delay his visit longer than',neiessary, 'and having given minute directions as to, the route, I contin aid my Way Lome warcl;whi le 'he turned back.' "I was about 'retiringto bed on the night of My return, when a sumunotti from with out called me to the door., ,A'stranger asked Shelter for himself and - herie Tor the night. "I invited' him in: Though a stranger, his face Seemed net unfamilliar. He was probably one a ,of the men Thad soon at the , Land office, place at, that time very renal frequented., "Offering him a seat, I went out to put up his bathe. The poor animal, as well as I could see by the dim slarlight seemed :to 'have been hardly used. His panting sides bore witness to merciless riding, and a tremulOus shrinking at the slightest touch, betokened recent fright. " On returning to the house I found the stranger was not there. His * absence ex cited no surpriie; he would doubtless soon return. It was a little singular, however, that he shotild have left his watch lying on, the table. "At the end of an hour, my guest not re turning, I went again to the stable, think ing he might have found his way thither, to give his personal attention to the wants of his horse. " Before going out, from mere force of habit—for we were as yet =infested by either thieves or policemen—l took the pre caution of putting the stranger's watch in a drawer in which I kept my own valuables. " I found the horse as I left him, and gave him the food which, lie was now sufficiently cooled to eat; but his roaster was nowhere to be seen. " As I approached the house, a crowd of men on horseback drove up, and I was com manded in no gentle tones to ' stand V In another moment I was .in the clutches of those who claimed me as their' prisoner., ' I was too much stupefied at first to ask what it all meant. I did so at last, and the explanation came. It was terrible "My friend, with wbome I had so lately set out in company, bad been found mur dered and robbed near the spot at which I, but I only, knew we had separated. I was the last person known to be with him, and I was now arrested on suspicion of his mur der. "A search of the premises was immedi ately instituted. The watch was found ii the drawer in which I had placed it, and was identified as the property of ,the mur dered man. His horse, too, was found in my stable, for the animal I- had just, put there was none other. I recognized him myself when I saw him in the light. " What I said I know not. Aly confusion was taken as additional evidence. And when, at length, I did command language to give an intelligible statement, It was re ceived with sneers of incredulity. "The mob spirit is inherent •in man—at least in crowds of men. It may not always manifest itself in physical violence. It sometimes contents itself with „lynching aChitracter. But whatever its form, it is always relentless, pitiless, cruel. "As the proofs of my guilt, one after an -04495,?aM9,40044,90-Ixtuttering,s.grad- nidly grew into a clamor for vengeance ; and but for the firmness of one man—the officer who had me in charge—l would doubtless have paid the penalty of my supposed ; of fence on the spot. ' • " It was not sympathy for me that actu sled my pioteOter. This heart was as bard as his office. But he represented the ma jesty of the law, and took a sort of grim prido in his position. "As much under the glance of his eye as before the muzzle of his pistol, the cowardly clsmorers drew back, Perhaps they were not sufficiently numerous to feel the fall effect of that mysterious reflex influence which makes a corwd of men so much worse, and at times so much better, than one of them single. * * * * * * * * , "At the end of some months my trial came. It could have but ,one result. Cir cumstances too plainly deelared,ini guilt. I alone knew they lied. " The absence of the jury, was brief. To their verdict I paid but little heed. It was a single hideous word ; but I had long an ticipated it, and it made no impression. "As little Impression was made by the words of the Judge, which followed it; and his solemn invocation that God might ha've that mercy upon me which man was too just to vouchsafe, sounded like the hollow est of hollow mockeries. • "It'm ay be hard for a guilty criminal to meet death ; but it is still harder for him who is innocent. The one, when the 'first shock is over, acquiesces in his doom and gives himself up to repentance . ; the heart of the other, filled with rebellion against man's injustice, can scarce bring itself to ask pardon of God. " I had gradually overcome this feeling in spite of the good clergyman's irritating efforts, whiCh were mainly directed to wards extracting a confession, without which, be assured me, he had no hope, to offer. " On the morning of tho day axed for my execution I felt measurably resigned.

It was through the town of,Tonea boreugh that Mr..A.xley, • would, hold forth On the 'M'ornin'g of the ensuing Sabbath.' ,The ihmous divine was a, great favorite— 'with none more than. with Judge White. At the appointed hour", the Judge, in corn-, 'Puny with n large,congregation, was in at tendance attire house ;of prayer.. All was bushed in expectation. 11fr. Alley entered, but with 'him , a brother who was "put tip , " to preach. The congregation was Composed of a borderpopulation; they wore disappointed ;' this was not the marl the:y : llnd come to bear; consequently, there was a good deal of misbehavior. The dis- course, was ended, and Mr. Axley -rose. It is a custom in the , netscountry when two or More preachers:are present, for each of them to have something to say. The people opine that it is a great waste of time to come a long distance, and be put off with a short service. I have gone into church at S o'clock in the morning, and have not come out agiin until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Short administrations are the growth of thicker settlements. Mr. Axley stood silently surveying the congregation, until every eye was riveted. Ho then began : „ "It may be a verypainful duty, but it is a very solemn ono, for a minister to rebuke misconduct and sin, whenever and where ever he sees it. But especially is this his duty on Sunday and at church. This is a duty I am now about to attend to, "And now," continued the reverend speaker, pointing with his long finger in the direction indicated, " that man sitting out yonder, behind the door, wno got up and wont out white the brother-was preach ing, stayed,out as long as he wanted to, got his boots full of mud, came back and stamp ed the mud off at the door, making all the noise be could, on purpose to disturb the atten'ion of the congregation, and then took his seat ; that man thinks I mean him. No wonder ho does. It dosn't look as if ho had been raised in the white-settlements, does it, to behave that way at meeting? Now, my friend, I'd advise you to learn better manners before you come to elurch noct time. But I don't mean him." " And now;" again pointing nt his mark "that little girl sitting there, about half way, of houss—l should judge her to be about sixteen years old—that's her with the artificial flowers on the outside.of her bon not and the inside of her bonnet ; she has a breastpin on, too, (theY were very severe on all superfluities of dress,) she that was gig gling and chattering all the time the brother was-preaching, so that even the older !sisters in the neighborhood couldn't hear what ho was saying, though they tried to.• She thinks I• mean . her. .I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart for any parents who have raised a girl to her time of day, and ,haven't taught.her:how to behavewhen She comes to church. Little girl, you have dis graced your parents, as well as yourself. Behave better next time, won't you ? But I don't mean her. , Directing his finger to another aim, he said: - - "That man sitting there, that looks ns bright and pert as dile never was asleep in his life, and never expected to be, but that just as soon as the brother, took his text, laid his head down on the back of the seat iu front of him, wont sound asleep, slept thO whole time and snored ; that man thinks I wan him. My friend, don't you know the church ain't the place to sleep. If you _need rest, why, didn't you stay at home, take offyour clothes, and go to bed ? 'That's{ the place to sleep, not at church.

Thus did.hewoceed, pointing out every man, woman and child, who had in the slightest deViated from a befitting line of conduct; characterising the inisdeineanor, and rending sharp lessons of rebuke, Judge White was all this time sitting at the end of thefront seat, just under the speaker, enjoying the old gentleman's dis quisition to the last degree; twisting his neck around to note if the audience relished the "down-comings" as much as he did ; rubbing his hands, smiling, chuckling in wardly. Between his teeth and cheek was a monstrous quid of tobacco, which, the better he was pleased the more be chew ed ; the more he chewed the more he spat, and, behold, the floor bore witness to the results. At length the old gentleman, streightening himself up to his height, con tinued, with great gravity: "And now, I reckon you want to know whom do I mean. I mean that dirty, nasty filthy tobacco chewer, sitting on the end of that front seat"his linger meanwhile pointing as true as the needle to the pole— "see what he has-been about!

At noon yesterdsy, according to an nouncement, General Butterfield began to open tile proposals to purchase $1,000,000 of gold. He had nearly finished' the reading when he openeda proposal from John Smith at $133,30, a figure about one-sixth larger than any other of the bids. Hurriedly com pleting the remainder of his task, the gen eral awarded the whole amount to Mr. John Smith, at the premium named. Gen eral Butterfield then went over to Dohnon ico's to lunch. Just. as be had reached the stage (for those who are curious about such things it may be saki that his first course was potagc a la maitre d'llet el) a clerk rushed madly into the restaurant, upsettinga waiter and a side table, and breathlessly addressing the Gen eral, said : "How about those awards, sir 7" "Wby, I mado 'om, didn't I? I gavel hem to John Smith." '• Yes sir. 13ut who's John. Smith I" Here was a poser. Jamming his military hat hard down on his head, and hurriedly buttoning the lower brass button of his mil itary vest - the General rushed forth into Broad street. The first man be met was a certain stock operator who has long been in search of a "Northwest", passage via, CiliCA go. I say, -, who is John Smith ?" .4..?0hn Smith? Woll, my,shoetnaltor is John Smitli t and the watchman at my place is another John Smith, and—,, "Oh, d—n them," said the General, "I want John Smith, tho'hanker." Rushing up to the,Sub-Treasury, General Butterfield put the same puzzling question to all his clerks, and they raked up from the depths of their memories enough John rniths to man a 74-gun frigate, but not ono of theta was a banker. Giving John up as a bad job, tho General revoked the award, $2,00 Per Year, in Advance; $2;50 if not Paid in Advance • and, consequently, the giold. sold for 133 and 133.15 instead'of 133.30, as ivould have been the,case had John Smitkappeared to make good .his proposal. It, was hoped at the Sub-Treasury that this annoying incident of official life would aot get spread abroad ; but, alas for human expectations! The financial editors had already been informed that John Smith was the, lucky gold purchaser, and through them the bankers and brokers were also ' made aware of the fact. For some time cu riosity was expressed on all sides as to "Who is John Smith?" but finally the story got out, and all Wall street was on the broil grin. On the Gold Board the busy brokers sus pended their (*rations for full ten minutes during . which time fifty lusty voices pro pounded the puzzling question, " Who is Sohn Smith?" Two young brokers, enter ing the room, instructed the door-keeper to call John Smith, and he added his voice to the universal din, never thinking that he was calling for a Treasury rnyth ! A strung er- entering the -room instructed the door keeper to call John Smith, and he added his voice to the universal din, never think ing that he was calling fora Treasury myth ! A stranger entering the room at that mo ment would have at first supposed that the brokers were about to engage in deadly con flict, such - was their. unbearthly din ; but hearing their loud cry for John Smith— peaceable John, who was never known to hurt anybody'but Turks and Indians—ho would have been reassured and looked on without' fear. It was currently reported last night that General Butterfield, armed with a mountain howitzer and a double barrelled shot gun, was still searching for John Smith. Perhaps ho will find him:- 2 ew York Sun Augnst 20, Buying; Gloves in Gib:niter. A very handsome young lady in the store offered me a pair of blue gloves. I did not want blue, but she said they would look very, pretty on a hand like mine. The re mark touched rno tenderly. I glanced fur tively at rnybaucl, and somehow it did seem rather a comely member. I tried a glove on my left, band blushed a little. Manifestly the size was too small for tee. But I felt 'gratified ehen she said : "Oh, it is just right !"—yet I knew it was no such a thing. I tugged at it diligently, but it was dis cense:zing work. She said : Ah I see you are accustomed to wear ing kid gloves, but some gentleman aro so awkward about putting them on." It was the last compliment Ihad expected. I only understand about putting on the buckskin article perfectly. I made another effort, and tore the glove from the Vase of the thumb into the palm of the hand—and tried to hide the rent. She kept up her com pliments, and I kept up my determination • to deserve them or die. ".A.h, you have had experience !" [A. rip down the. back of-thehand.] " They are just right for you—your handais very small —if they tear yott need not pay for them." [A rent across the middle.] "I can always toll when a gentleman understands putting .on-a -c-id -'Therer , is - a — gritee - abourlt that only comes with long practice." [The whole aftorguard of the glove " fetched away," as the sailors say, the fabric parted across the knuckles, and nothing was loft but a melancholly ruin.] I was too much flattered to make an ex posure and. threw the merchandise on the angel's bands. I was hot, vexed confused, butstill happy,butl bated the other boys for taking such an absorbing interest in the proceedings. I wished they wore in Jericho. -I felt exquisitely mean when I said; cheer fully ; "This ono does very well : it fits elegant ly. I like a glove that fits. No never mind ma'am, never mind; I'll put the other on in the street. It is warm here." It was warm. It was tho warmest place I ever was in. I paid the bill, and as I pass ed out with a fascinating bow, I thought I detected a light in the woman's eye that was gently ironical, and when I looked back from the strect,and she was laughing to her self about something or other, I said to myself with withering sarcasm, " Oh, cer tainly; you know how to put on kid gloves, don't you ?—a self-complacent ass, ready to be flattered out of your senses by every pet ticoat that chooses to take the trouble to do it!" Vine 'Feathers at Church Harper's _Bazaar is certainly not very Puritanic on questions of dress. Perhaps the good people who aro more under bond age to fine dressing than they propose, will like to know its opinion on this subject of dressing for church.—American Church man. The best bred people of every Christian country but our own avoid all personal dis play when engaged in worship and prayer. Our churches on the contrary, aro made places for the exhibition of line apparel and other costly and flaunting compliances with fashion, by those who boast of supe rior wealth and manners. We shall leave our gewgawed devotees to reconcile humili ation in worship with vanity in dress. That is a problem which we confess we have neither the right nor the capacity to solve. How far fine clothes may affect the personal piety of the devotee we do not pre tend even to conjecture; but we havo a very decided opinion in regard to their in fluence upon the religion of others. The fact is, that our churches are AO 'fluttering with birds of fine feathers that no sorry fowl will venture in. It is impossible for poverty in rags and patches, or even in de cent but humble costume, to take its seat, if it should be so fortunate as to find a place, by the side of wealth iu brocade and broadcloth. The poor are so awed by the pretension of superior dress and "the proud man's contumoly,"that they natural ly avoid too close a proximity to them. The church being the only place on this side of the'grave designed for the rich and the poor to meet together In equal prostration before Cod, it certainly should always be kept free for this common humiliation and brotherhood. It is so in most of the churches in Burope, where the beggar in rags and wretchedness and the wealthiest and most eminent, whose appropriate so brioty of dress leaves them without mark of external distinctien,kneel down together equalized by a common humiliation before the only Supreme Being. The adoption of a more simple attire for chuch on the part of the rich in this country would have the effect, certainly not of diminishing their own personal piety, but probably of in creasing the disposition for religions oh servance on the part of the poor.

Much is said of the equal rights of the sexes, but in the crowded car, woman is not to be treated as man, but as woman. She may have power to drive omnibuses or to run engines, but it is her right to bo ex empted from such callings. In political gatherings, she may barranguothe crowd, but she does it to her shame. She may at tract the curious by her public scoidings, but those who applaud her smart repartees would not have such direst their home af fairs. The family history of these public women would he of interest, but so far as we know this—Mr. Tilton to the contrary— they are not model wives or mothers. That they are strong-minded is no glory to them but a proof of masculinity. In other mental qualities, woman has no right to be equal to man. She was. made to be his superior, and when equal she degrades herself. In all that the heart can do, she has no equal. The mother makes the child ren what they aro to be in life. As souls be fore God, all aro equal, but this is secured not by likeness, but by diversity of rights. The spheres are not the same, but comple ments of each other. " We — do - not want women who can be men; but who -can be what God made them to be—women."

The amount of "sitting up with the girls" done hi that re gion since the society went into operation is " nothing worth speaking," An agitation in favor of " suspending the rules" for two evenings a week is expected.

Wo see it stated that " Miss June Reed, a poor but worthy young lady of Lasalle, 111., has re ceived intelligence from Englund theta rich uncle had died, leaving her the neat little sum of C•d0,000."
