CURIOSITY AS A M0L1HEB.
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.

OUR SATURDAY NIGHT.
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. I have
read ol you often as the Iriend of tbe
poor, and surely you will not tell mo
to go hungry when I have humiliated
myself to beg f"
"Wo aro the friend of all who aro
poor to all who try to do well ; to
get along, and who are descrvinrr. 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. We
nave nothing lor you. Uo to rour
friends, or to those who ore foolish
enough to encourage such as you, by
e . i- , , . . . . . "
icoaing yon sou neglecting thoso who
deserve well."
And ho went. 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. There is a
duty to the deserving one should not
lose, sight of In helping tho undeser
ving tbo ones w ho will not try to be
good, kind, noblo and thus desorving
of help from and confidence of the
good who livo not entirely for self.
We hnd rtilhcr Work for those who
arc-striving to succeed, who aro wit
ling to aid themselves, from em till be
ginnings work up to use, rcMticrtibility,

thousands of boys and gills, of men
and womeh. of fathers und mothers,
of Wives and hltsbahds, in litilb homes.
and rooms, and garrets, and cellars ;
in overcrowded tenement houses of
cities, wberu the air is poison from
never-ending Inhalation, wo would
gladly help by gilts and good advice.
There are men nnd women every
where who deserve kind words, a little
aitl at first, and then they enn walk
without stumbling. There aro those
who wish to be good, vihoso hearts
aro warm and mellow, who seem lost
sijrlit of by churt hitA hnd laws, and the
Government which cares only fur the
rich. There five thoso who aro stri

the dearer love, of homo ones. These
are our friends, nnd wo ask them all,
in cily or town, in poverty or riches,
to think ovrr their seven-line record
as they have mado it the past wtck,
and with us resolvo to do all the pond

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-

"RELIGIOUS SWINDLING."
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

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

hearer grasps the trutb, and his heart

ho only reflects your dullness. Wake
