BY GEORGE LIPPARD. 1_ Would that Ceorge Lippard had al , ways written as powerful and unexcep tionably, as in the following sketch, j They brought him a dollar, lie took it, clutched it in his long and • skinny lingers, tried its sound against the ; bed-post, and then gazed at it long and in ] tently with his dull, eaden eyes. That day, in the hurry of business, Death had struck him, even in the street. He was hurrying to collect the last month's rent, and was on the verge of the miser able court, where his tenants herded like beasts in their kennels—he was there with bank-book in his hand, when death laid ; its hand upon him. He was earned home to his splendid mansion. lie was laid upon a bed with a satin coverlet. The lawyer, relations, and the preacher was sent for. All day long he lay without speech, moving only his right hand, as though in the act of counting money. At midnight he spoke. He asked for a dollar and they brought one to him, and lean and gaunt, lie set up in his death-bed, and clutched it with the grip of death. A shaded lamp stood on the table near the silken bed. Its light fell faintly around the splendid room, where chairs, carpets and mirrors, silken bed and lofty ceiling, all said Cod! as plainly as human lips could sav it. His hair and eyebrows were white.— His cheeks were sunken, and his lips thin and surrounded by wrinkles that indicated the pattern of Avarice. As he sat up in bed with his neck bared and the silken coverlet wrapped about his lean frame, his white hair and eyebrows contrasted with his wasted and wrinkled face, he looked like a ghost. And there was life in his leaden eye—all that life was centred 011 the dollar which he gripped in his fist. His wife, a pleasant faced matronly wo man, was seated at the foot of the bed.— His son, a young man of twenty-one, dres sed in the last touch of fashion, sat by the lawyer. The lawyer sat before the table, pen in hand, and gold spectacles on his nose. There was a huge parchment spread before him. 4 J)o you think he'll make a willasked the son. 4 llardlv compos mentis yet,' was the whispered reply. 4 Wait, he'll he lucid alter a while.' 4 Mv dear,' said the wife, 4 had 1 not better send for a preacher ?' She rose and took the d\ ing husband by the hand, hut he did not mind. His eye was upon the dollar. Ho was a rich man. He owned pala ces in Walnut and Chesnut streets, and hovels and courts, in tho out skirts, lie had iron mines in the State; copper mines in the lake somewhere; he had golden in terests in California. His name was bright upon the records of twenty batiks: he owned stock of all kinds; he had half a dozen papers in his pay. lie knew hut one crime— lobe in debt without the power to put/. He knew but one virtue— to get money. The crime he had never forgotten—this virtue he had never forgotten, in the long way of thirty-five years. To hunt down a debtor; to distress a tenant; to turn a few additional thousands by a sharp speculation—these were the main achievements of his life. lie was a good man—his name was up on a silver piate upon the pew door of a velvet-cushioned church. lie was a benevolent man—for every thousand dollars which lie wrung from the tenants or the debtors who writhed be neath his heels, lie gave ten dollars to some benevolent institution. lie was a just man—the Gallows and the Jail always found him a faithful and unswerving advocate. And now he is a dying man—see him ! As he sits up in the bed of death, with the dollar in his clenched hand. Oh ! holy dollar, object of his life-long pursuit, what comfort hast thou for him now in his pain of death At length the dying man revived and dictated his will. It was strange to see the mother, son, and the lawyer muttering, and sometimes wrangling beside the bed of death. All the while the testator clutched the dollar in his right hand. While the will was being made, the preacher came—even he who held the pastoral charge of the good church, whose pew doors bore saintly names on silver plates, and whose seats on the Sabbath day groaned beneath the weight of re- j spectability, broadcloth and satin. He came and said his prayers —decor- ; ously and in measured words—but never j once did the dying man relax his hold of the dollar. 4 Can't you read me something, say— quick, don't you sec I'm going?' at length said the rich man, turning a frightened look toward the preacher. The preacher, whose cravat was of the whitest, took a hook with golden clasps from a marble table. And he read ; 4 And I say unto you it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than lor a rich man to enter into the King dom of Cod.' ' W ho said these words—who—who— who.'' fairly shrieked the dying man, sha king the hand which clutched the dollar, at the preacher's head. ihe preacher hastily turned over the leaf and did not reply. 4 W by did you never tell me of this he fore ? Why did you never preach from it as 1 sat in your church. Why— lF/nj ?' The preacher did not reply, but turned over another leaf. But tire dying man would not be quieted. 4 And it's easier for a camel to go thro' the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Cod, is it ?—Then what's to become of me ! Am I not rich ? What tenant did 1 ever spare, what debtor did 1 ever release .' and you stood up, Sun day after Sunday and preached to us, and never said one word about the camel.' The preacher, in search of a consoling passage, turned rapidly over the leaves, and, in his confusion, came to this passage, which he read: 4 Co now, ye rich man, weep and howl, for your miseries that shall come upon you. 1 our gold and silver is can kered: and the rust of them shall be a witness against you; and eat your flesh, as it it were tire; ye have heaped treasures together for the last days. Behold the hire ot the laborers who have reaped down your fields which you have kept back by fraud, erieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of the Sabbath.' 4 And you never preached that to me !' shrieked tlie dying man. The preacher, who had blundered thro' the passage fro in James which we have quoted, knew not what to say. He was perchance terrified by the very look of his dying prisoner. Then the wife drew near and strove to comfort him, and the son, (who had been reading the will,) attempted a word or two ot consolation. And with the dollar in his hand he sank into death, talking of stock, rent, copper mines, and camels, and of tenants and debtors, until the breath left him. 'J'hvs he died. W hen he was cold, the preacher rose and asked the lawyer whether the deceas ed had left anything to such and such a charitable society, which had been engraf ted upon the preacher's churh. And his wife closed his eyes and tried to wrench the dollar from his hand, but in vain. He clutched it as tho' it were tiie only saviour to light him thro' the darkness of eternity. And the son sat down with dry eyes and thought ol the hundreds of thousands which were now his own. Next day there was a hearse followed lv a large train of carriages nearly half a mile in length. There was a crowd around an open grave, and an elegant sermon up on the virtues of the deceased, was given by the preacher. There was fluttering of crape badges, and rolling of carriages and—no tears.— They left the dead man and returned to the place, where sorrow died even as the crape was taken from the door knob, And in the grave the dead hand still clutches the dollar.— If hi te If ((finer. The Lunatic and Sportsman. In an article 011 the ' world at large,' the purport of which is to show that men who are reputed sane, very often act insanely, a writer in the Chambers' Journal repro duces this story : A gentleman of fortune visited a lunatic asylum, u here the treatment consisted principally in forcing patients to stand in tubs of cold water. The visiter entered into conversation with one of the patients, who appeared to have some curiosity to know how the stranger passed his time out of doors. • 1 have horses and greyhounds for cours ing,' said the latter, in reply to the other's question. 4 Ah! these arc very expensive.' 4 Yes, they cost me a great deal of money in a year, but they arc the best of their kind.' 4 Have you anything more ." 4 Yes, I have a pack of hounds for hun ting the fox.' 4 And they cost a great deal too V 4 A v ery great deal. And I have birds for hawking.' 4 I see—birds for hunting birds. And those swell up the expenses, I dare say ?' 4 You may well say that, for they arc not common in this country. And then some times 1 go out with my gun, accom panied by a setter and retriever.' 'And are those expensive too?' 'Of course! After all it is not the ani mals of themselves that run away with the money, there must be men, you know, to lend and look alter them, houses to lodge them in—in short, the whole sporting establishment. 4 i see, 1 see—you have, houses, horses, hounds, setters, retrievers, hawks, men — and all for the capture of birds and foxes. What an enormous revenue they must cost you ! —Now what I want to know is this, what return do they pay ?—what does your sporting produce ?' * Why we kill a fox now and then— only they are getting \erv scarce here about—and we seldom bag less than til'tv brace of birds each season.* 'Hark!' said the lunatic, looking anx iously around him. 4 My friend,' he ad ded in an earnest whisper— 4 there is the gate behind you : lake mv advice, and be off out of this place, where you are safe. Don't let the doctor get his eyes on vou. He ducks us to some purpose ; but as sure as you are a living man, he will half drown you.' Washington in China. The notions of the Chinese witii regard to Ceography and History, have received some enlargement, it would seem, since their war with England, and the conse quent increase ol intercourse between them and foreigners. Formerly, the Celestial Empire figured on the Chinese maps as the main portion of the earth—other coun tries being represented as small islands, and stuck into corners, or crowded along the margin. A late work on Geography, however, 4 Ilis Excellency Su Kin, of Wutai, Shan si, the present Lieutenant Governor of Fuhkieu, gives a much more compre hensive view of the different quarters ol the world, and of the relative propor tions ot continents, islands, kingdoms and nations. The author, it appears, was greatly aided in his work, which is styled a I nivcrsal Geography, by the American missionary, at Amoy, Mr. Abeel. From an account in the New York Journal of Commerce, we learn that the several divi sions of the world are so described as to impress the mind previously uninformed with tolerable accurate views of their ex tent and importance. A general summary oi the history of each of its several coun tries, with an outline of their political in stitutions, is given ; their present condition and relative resources are pretty accurately estimated ; even their social institutions, manners and customs, have formed the subject of curious investigation to the au thor, and his account of them presents a ludicrous mixture of truth and error. The description of the l.'nited States is introduced by the author with a history of the settlement of the country, and the sub sequent revolutionary war of independence. The character of Washington commands his nnqualilied amiration, as the following conclusion of his introductory summary will show : 4 It is evident that Washington was a re markable man. In devising plans he was more decided than Chin Shin or Wu kwang; in winning a country he was braver than Tsau Tsau or Liu Pi. Wielding his four-footed falchion, he extended the frontiers thousands of miles, and then re fused to usurp the regal dignity, or trans mit it to his posterity, but first established rules for an elective administration. — Where in the world can be found such a public spirit! Truly, the sentiments of three dynasties have all at once unexpect edly appeared in our day ! in ruling tin; State, he promoted and fostered good cus toms, and did not depend 011 military mer it ; in this he differed from all other na tions. I have seen his portrait ; his por trait, his hair and form, are imposing in a remarkable degree. Alt ! who would not call him a hero '' If we in our ignorance cannot estimate the decision of Chin Sing or Wu Kwang. or appreciate the bravery of T-au Tsau or Liu Pi, it is nevertheless within our power to entertain a feeling of respect for this learned dignitary of China, who knows how to admire the character of Washington, and seeks to make it known to his countrymen. A singular people these Chinese! They have a great deal vet to learn m the world, and so no doubt we as a people have also. Free Trade in Clarion County. The Clarion county democrats cannot but be delighted with the way Free Trade, for which they voted so vociferiously and strong, is working among them— some of them will not fail to make by it. The last Clarion paper lias the Sheriff's adver tisement for sale at the Court house of that borough, on Monday, December, Ist, ol one Furnace, including a Grist and Saw Mill, Black smith's and Carpenter's shops, and ten dwelling houses with four tracts of farm land. One other Furnace with fif teen dwellings, shops, and stores, and five more tracts of farm land attached and un der improvement. One other Furnace with dwellings, Mills, shops, stores, Ac., with five tracts of farms of improved land. One other Furnace, Grist and Saw Mill, dwellings and out-houses, with three tracts of land" attached—being improved farms. One other Furnace, with usual necessary buildings—dwellings, shops, stores, Ac., with a tract of land. At same time and place, various other lands and town lots. They have however this one satisfaction, that the agony—if not ceasing, it is not in creasing much. They sold six - Furnaces last Court, and have only six to sell this Court. They will doubtless sell cheap, and that will be good lor somebody.— Pittsburgh American. A year of pleasure passes like a floating breeze—but a moment of misfortune seems an age of pain. i\cw Tories—Vol. 6-i\o. O. \ot Boru to be Browned. The following touching incident is re lated in a private letter from Yarmouth, Kngland, dated inst., written by a lady, and giving an account of the disas trous results of the late shiprecks upon the east coast : Last Friday, a dear little babe, supposed to he about four months old, was picked up in the roads oil Yar mouth. Its long clothes prevented it from sinking : it was fast asleep, and almost be numbed with cold. There was no trace ot any ship in sight or of any boat for miles around, and it was supposed that the vessel from which it had been thrown had sunk, and that all hands perished. The captain who picked it up lives at Yarmouth, and intends to rear it as his own. lie allows the people who come in crowds, to see it, and I have seen it, among the rest. It is a sweet babe.' COI RAUE. —Have the courage to tell a man why you will not lend him your money ; he will respect you more than if you tell him you can't. Have the cour age to wear your old garments till you can pay for new ones. Have the courage to make a will, and, what is more, to make a just one. Have the courage to pass the bottle without filling your glass, and to laugh at those who urge vou to do the contrary. Have the courage to discharge a debt when you have the money in your pocket. Have the courage to speak your mind when it is necessary that you should do so, and to hold your tongue when it is better that you should be silent. Young men arc, in general, but little aware how much their reputation is affect ed in the public view by the company they keep. The character of their asso ciates is soon regarded as their own. If they seek the society of the worthy, it el evates them in the public estimation, as it is an evidence they respect others. On the contrary, intimacy with persons of a bad character always sinks a young man in the eye of the public. Major Jack Downing. This agreeable and facetious gentleman has again made his appearance in the col umns of the National Intelligencer. It appears that he has been on a visit to Cal ifornia ; and the first thing on his return is, to inquire about old friends and the next Presidency. As to the prospects of the Presidency, and the present condition of parlies, his Uncle Joshua makes the fol lowing disclosures : Says I, 4 Uncle Joshua, what's the pros pect about the Presidency V 4 \V ell," says he, ' Major,'—he always calls me Major—says he, ' Major, there ain't no prospect at all.' • How so," says I ; 4 how can you make that out V 4 Well,' says he, 4 there's so many par ties now, and they are all so mixed up, higgledy-piggledy, that you can't see through 'em with the longest spy-glass that ever was made. Thai's whv there ain't no prospect at all.' 4 Well, now, Uncle Joshua,' says I, 4 jest name over all ihese parties, so I can begin to have some idea of them.' 4 Well,' says he, 4 we'll begin first south side of Mason and Dixon's hue. There's the old Whig party, and the old Democratic party, and the party of Union Whigs, and the party of Secession Whigs, and the party of 1 nion Democrats, and the party of Secession Democrats, and the party of absolute, unqualified Secessionists; and i lie party ol Co-operation Secessionists. And then if we come to the north side of Mason and Dixon's line, we find the regu lar whig party, and the regular Democratic party, and the Union Whigs, and the Abo lition Whigs, and the Union Democrats, and the Abolition Democrats, and the Sil ver-gray Whigs, and the Woolly-head Whigs, and the Ilunker Democrats, and the Barn-burner Democrats, and the Sew ard party, and the Union Safety Commit tee party, and the regular Free Soil party, and the regular \ ote-yourself-a-Farm par ty.' Uncle Joshua has given Jack a faithful enumeration of the various parlies which exist, except that lie might have added to the list the Manifest Destiny Party, which grasps at the possession of the whole American continent, and the adjacent isl ands. Hut both the Major and Uncle Josh need give themselves no further trouble on the subject, lor the people have determined to place General Scott in the White House on the 4th ot March, 1853, and they will do it!
