A correapondont relates the follow ing gi hia own iiiTsonal cxpt-rience: I left Kew i'ork fur Albariy in no very pleaaant mood. Getting op for an eurly train ig neither customary or agreeable with me; the coffeo was muddy and the toast abominable I rot into a muss with a hack-man about my fare to the Depot, mv fincer wus jammed in lliu car door, and a Hit man itepped on my toe as I moved to my scat. Mv faco I know looked forbid ding, and though tbe car was full, tbe scat beeide me was not taken. We had gone pant one or two stations, when a tall, broad shouldered, farmer, lookitii; fellow. i;ot into the car, and without a "By your leave," or "Is this eat engaged f" down he sat by me. I gave him a severe look thut ought to have annihilated liim, but ii didn't. Then I looked out of the window, and the car moved on. By-and-by my attention was attracted by a gentle tout h. "Pleasant day." 1 gave him to understand, in a curt way, that 1 didn't care if it was. Af ter a while he reached bis long neck out by me and said yawningly : "Looks as if we should bov some rain, soon." I let the remark pas without reply, determined bo should not draw me out. Aftersomo miles hoagain spoke: "Killed a hog lunl night." "Well, what's thut to tael" I said sharply. "Guess how much it weighed." "Ob, don't bothor six hundred pounds." "tities ng'in," after a pause. " Well, say a hundred pounda." The challenge to guess hnd a triflo of inter est in it, but in a moment, anhamcd of having shown any at all, 1 thrust my head out of the window, awuiling my sturdy associate's further advances, lie mado hone, and after riding some ten or fifteen minutes, 1 looked round. He was staring out of the window, apparently bsl in reflection. "How much did your cussed hog weigh, anyhow f" I asked surlily as I could. His fuco didn't change a muscle, though I thought bis eye looked a trifle mischievous, as bo replied : "Don't know j we didn't weigh him." Fortunately for my peace of miiid, he got out at KlitncclifT station. I could not have endured him another niilo. Mortality Among tie Prebidenti.

Fillmore and Andrew John son, who were chosen Vice Presidents and been mo Presidents by tbe death of their chiefs, Taylor and Lincoln, are still living. This is extraordinary mortality. Tbe first President, General Wash ington, died while tlio second Presi dent was in office. The second and third, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, deceased while lint sixth President was in office. The (mirth President, James M.idi Hon, and tho fifth President, James MonrotJj died fivo years before the fourth, JaineJ Mudison. The sixth I'resitlent, John Quinry Adnms. lived until 148.

WE TOLD HIM TO GO. Again 1 Sevon moro lines on the great book of records, filled for or against us nil who have lived. And how much of that record would wo be willing to sit down and read, even to our best earthly friend ? How much of it would we skip, pass over and omit, if culled to read the page here f Ann yet it will all oe read over yonder, by the one who sits to vise our passports to direct us to the right or left, as wo are worthy to enter the flowery land, or desorving to roam the desert ot eternity I With us tho weok bag nassed well No regrets rise, like clouds of fog to nine me beauties ot tho past as wo sit and look buck. In all the weok just gono wo nave not spoken even one little unkind word have not been cross, or ugly, or ill-natured. To be sure we have had cares and troubles, and who has not, but we have tried to keep that which annoyed us from annoying others. To our mind a man or woman who is vexed at something has no right to vox and annoy others .imply in return. And yet there are men and women who do Ibis. When bothered at the office or shop, in the street or at place, of lubor, they go home mad, ngly, ill natured, and like petty tyrants punish those who are innocent. We hope none of our readers aro thus brutal fur this is a brutality of the heart, uncalled for and inexcusable Hot have wronged any one tho past week. Hot refused aid to those in distress, where in our power to render assistance, except in two cases where the applicants, as we thought, were not deserving. One was a man who came to us staggering drunk, begging for money to purchase a supper and night's lodging. Ho said bo bud eaten nothing for two days. "You want help! Have tasted no food for two days yet you have been drinking till you are offensive to eye. smell, and moro an object of disgust than pity. Why did you not buy food instead of drink I"' "I thought 1 could get food any where the drink 1 had to pity fori" "And so you would squander your money to make yourself disgusting, then rob tbo deserving poor of breutl, or step between them and deserved charity 1 Well, you are a nice man to come on such an errand !" "But I bad but forty cents some triends treated me I" "Some frieiuli treated you ? Then go to your friendi who treated you to drink, and ask them for food, and ask one of tboVn to let you sleep with him!" "Yes bnt they won't give me food, and I hute to ask them I "Then they are not your friends, and you are a cowardly sneak to accept from them the driuk, and go to strangers for food !" "Hut you aro no stranger.

To such we give as wo aro ublo. But it is no cburity to feed on ublo bodied loafer, who spends his money in drink who is trcuted by his friends, then sponges or steals from that good society which is not bound to bury a suicide, till the wounds of those man gled by accident be bound up.

Wo do not pity him as wo do tho wife and children of the drunken, poison filled, aimless man, wbo-lives in his throat for the benefit of poor-houses and pauper graves 1 Anutlieoihor case where we refused to give relief was to a person who cares not for good advice, kind words or a feeling of interest to one who is never thankful for favors, largo or small who despises earnest friend ship, and has nu regard for tho feel ings of friend. A man is not bound to cor.linao putting sticks under water that will not boil to be a friend to him who cares not for friendship no more than ho is bound in duly to attempt tho rescue of a drowning mnn wno wnuiti not try to help him self, and who would drag hia friend down to death with him.

Evory business man is aware thnt there is a gang of counterfeiters doing u thriving business in tho country, and that tbo greenback, stamp and bond business bus doubled their num bers and improved their skill to such tin extent that the government cannot keep up with thorn. The statement below, which we take fYom a Now York paper, shows tbo ramifications of this illegitimate business. Tho journal in question snys : Colonel Whitney of tho secret ser vice division and assistants havo, for over a month, boen engaged in ferret ing out ono of tho most notorious gangs of counterfeiters in tho country, and have just brought their labors to a successful close. It was first ascer tained that a dungorous sixty pound tobneco stump was being ofl'orcd to enterprising tobacco merchants at about one filth tho Government prico. Threo dollurs for a stamp sold by tho Government at nineteen and twenty dollurs. Tbe Inducements were so great that many firms heretofore bcur ing unblemished reputations in this city, Virginia, JNorth Carolina nnd other States, embarked in the enter prise and purchased largo lots from the New Y ork manufacturers. The first arrest was made October 15th, in the person of Valnoy Wright, who, it is alleged, endeavored to sell an im mense quantity of these sixty pound stamps to men named Copelatid and Wulker. Ho was quietly held to bail in the sum of 88,000 to await tho action of the Grand Jury. Tbo bed piece roll and plate with six transfers were secured by tbo de tectives. Tbo next arrest was one Hort Pierce, an accomplished cngravcr.of'itO Nussau street, on October 30th, with whom were seized all tho dies and machinery used in counterfeiting. Among which was n press for transferring, costing one thousand dollars. Col. Robert Chirk, who, during the war, commanded tbo Fourteenth New Y'ork Volunteers, was next secured, and his rooms, nt 317 Kast Seventeenth street, searched. In almost every bureau drawer, stand drawers, boxes, trunks and valises, evidences of guilt were found. One vuliso contained the plate of tho sixty pound stamp dies for marking ono penny stamps, and hundreds of sheets containing two hundred nnd ten pound stamps, to gether with nboul fifteen thousand dollars worth of clear genuine stamps Tbo proporty was all seined. It was next ascertained that the mill where the stamps were ground out wus situated about fifteen miles from this city nt Princes Bay, Sluten Island. Seven men were sent to the spot, and after a tramp of half a mile through tho woods, discovered the building, in which were arrested John Kippoh, steel and copper plate printer, A nitlivb of England, and thirty eight yeurs df ago. His portnor, Wm. L. kemptoH, is a native of Jlaino, forty yenrs of aire, and a retired sea captain. Hippon's ivlfc, threo children and a servant girl were on the premises. In one room was found a largo amount of paper, such as is hscd by tho gov ernment in tho manufacture of revenue stumps. A large supply of inks, oils, and jugs filled with gum that the latter used lor adhesive purposes. Also, a die for making threo cent silver jlieces, steel dies for stamping coins, contain ing all the letters of the alphabet, and dies for all tho arithmetical figures, but no plutcs or printed work. In another room s-as a perforating press for punching the holes between tiro stamps on tbe printcdehhocts. In tho garden, about eighteen inches below tbo surface, was found, on information givon by Kippon, a box which con tained tho plule on which htid been transferred the one cent revenue stamp two hundred tnd (en times, the bed piece and transferring die, a largo number of stomps, thousands of print ed sheets ready for use and other arti cles. The prisonersand material were brought to this cily, and the former taken to the United States marshal's office, whero the former wns held in custody. It wus now ascertained thnt an engraver named Uouben Carpenter, having his oftlco lit No. 11, ltloomfield street, Boston, hod been employed to engrave United States 6 -L'O bonds. Officers were sent to Boston, and with the assistunt detectives there, arrested 1'orjtciiter in the act of engraving a pnss on the Wilmington & Baltimore liailrond. Ho surrendered to the offl. ccrs a ono thousand 6-20 bond, which he bad been employed to engrave for a man in this cily who was in the last stages of consumption. It is alleged that numerous other prominent per sons in this city are under suspicion and survcilunco, and it is believed thut several thousand dollars in these stumps have been put in circulation. An occasional correspondent, moct- inir a party of settlers tho other day in Texas, inquired from tho Conductor what the men in tho first Wagon were intended for. "To clear thrj forcs's."

Tho "Methodist Book Concern," is a huge commercial enterprise, run by the "piety ol that sectarian hotly. Tre mendous swindles have been discov ered In its management. This need not bo the fault of the sect of Method- ists, ns the best of cuuses mny be betrayed. But tho public roguery comes in in the endeavor to prove that swindling is all right when done by Methodist parsons. Our clever eotemporiiry, tho ew lork Ledger says of this RELIGIOUS WfllTItWASH. Tho business of tho Methodist Book Concern, gonerully speaking, should not concorn anybody but the Individ uals directly interested in its manage ment and tho members of the organi sation ot which it is an adjunct. But tho roeent discovery of "irregularities," whereby that persuasion is said to have lost extensively, and tho report of the committee which was appointed to investigate the mnttcr, render tho affairs of tho Book Concenn amenable to public judgment and journalistic criticism. This report imputes "great mismanagement" to one department, and finds that "serious losses have occurred therein, but declares, never theless, that the "general management of the business of the Book Concern in all matters involving its credit or integrity is such ns to command the confidence of tho public." In other words, the committee tacitly acknowl edge that thoro isa culprit, or culprits, in tho case, but they are willing to overlook his or thoir peculations in order to shield the Book Concern from the obloquy which a full expo sition of tho facts would inevitably attach to it. This i the thinnest kind of religious whitewash. This Book Concern as it is called, Is one of the elements of a grout and poworful ecclesiastical or ganization. Some of its munagers were detected swindling the concern, whereupon committee makes inves tigations, finds "gross mismanage ment," and "serious losses," but shields tho criminal instead of bring ing him to justice. Thoro could not bo "serious losses" without some per son being responsible for them. Why did not tho commilteo fearlessly din clinrco its duty, and bring tbo real ofTender to justice? Is ho sliiehled because tho denomination wkoao con fidence he hus betrayed fears criticism upon tho offences of its individual niombersf What other motive can exist for whitewashing tbo unfaithful servants who havo bctrayod their trust and disgraced tho church to winch they belonged r J ho moral principle involved in nil this was ig nored by the committee. II ere wus an opportunity lor a powerful and influential religious body to inculcate a lesson in the public that would not soon be forgotten. No denomination would sooner decry a similar trans action in a secular corporation than the Methodists, or call moro loudly through papers and from pulpits for tho punishment of tho offender; but the report of this committee prove how much more that sect thinks of preserving tbe semblance of its own purity intact, than it does of punishing its own servants who jeopardize not only that party, but tbo great codo of morals itself. Out upon such hypocrisy I The M.tw worms who used to bring tho guilty to justice, deserve to have the enduring finger of scorn pointed at them whilo they live. Hereafter Methodist whitewash and Maw worm sympathy will bo synonymous terms Busv Fancy. Innumerable are the diseases that nriso from our busy fancy. Wo aro all subject to tbe tyrauic away of imagination's empire. Under this mighty iiiflucnco man displays energies which lead him boldly to dure danger and complica ted sufferings, or be is reduced to a degraded slate of miserable- despon dency. These diseases aro tho more fearful, iinco they rarely yield to physical uid ; and it is seldom that moral influence is sufficiently persua sive to combat their inveteracy. It is idlo to tell tho timid hypochondriac that he is not ill. The inuro circunl stunco of his believing himself sick constitutes A serious disorder. His constant apprehensions derange his functions, until an organic affection arises. The patient who fancies that he labors Under an affection of the heart disturbs tho circulation, which is ever influenced by our moral emo tions, till al hist- this disturbance occasions the very malady which bo dreaded. These aberrations of the mind arisb from various causes; mon tul emotions, constitution, climate, diet, hereditary disposition, education.

Dull Hearers. We once heard A porson, While speaking of a certain minister, stylo him a "dull preacher." It was not tho first time we ever heard the remark applied to A class of preachers who, while they seldom deal in the orna mental, always provided their bearers with solid truth. Possibly, we thought, thcro is dullness somewhere else. We have seen da 1 1 hearers as well as dull preachers. "It docs a man good to preach to a mnn or woman who is wide awake not only their eyes, but their ear open, and thuir brains at work. A listening Inhilcl is a butler hearer than a drowsy Christian. A stubborn shake of tbe head, as our clearest arguments Are stated, bus more animation in it than a sleepy nod, which may express approval or conceal a yawn. When people, are interested, they will listen. When they recognize the mossage as from God, and hour, remembering thateter ital interests aro atsinko, the preach er can feel thnt the intellect of the hearer grasps the trutb, and his heart ftals its power. Let the hearers sharp en up, nnd there is no telling how much it will briehten the sermon. Tho upturned countenance of a listen ing congregation exalta the prouchcr, and bis mind takes in range of tho't. and his tongue grows eloquent aa he and weaving his arguments with vig or, he binds them firmly with strong appeals. It your preacher is tame, perhaps ho only reflects your dullness. Wake up. Help hlrh, if not for your own suke, for the sako of others. He may not do you good ) tint if God called him to 1. reach, he has a message for somebody. l)o not lot your dullness blunt tbe edge of bis blade.

Little time elapsed between tho resolution and carrying it Into effect.
