public yesterday, and much relieved the public mind.
/acquire expressed surprise at the economical ma
neenient of the Government finances. The va
limm suggestions made by the Secretary of the Trea-
Vay are indeed worthy of every consideration, and

Very lengthy one, and for this reason no mention is

INTENDED ASSASSINATION OF AN ENlPE
bm.—There is a story afloat that a plot has been
trmvered to nssassinate the Emperor Napoleon. It
said that he consequently never goes abroad un
kite la clad in "complete steel," which he wears
Igerhis ordinary garments. This, we are assured
advices from Parls,ds not the truth. The
4Tor wears umelleti and not iron under-clothes,
a 2 4l,is dress is patterned exactly after an elegant
n Melt Napoleon once saw upon the back of an
hierican gentleman who was attending one of the
Mperial levees. The salt referred to WAS made at
l-e Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Rockhill k WU
IA, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut street, above Sixth,

the way of elegance and comfort.
PONTOONS vs. PANTALOONS.—One of the
10-yoncocted military plans of the rebellion, by
HLIoh the tried and bravo army of General Burnside
1,,, t to hose marched to Fredericksburg, there cross
!the Rappahannock, and thence by forced marches
i 'l'Eed it.. toad capital while it was in a compara
incly defenceless condition, has been most shame-
Italy and humiliatingly frustrated by the non-arrival
Of )woons for the crossing of the Rappahannock. A
J=ill this must lie, but where it lies we do not yet
Loy ; but this it, do know, that If individuals con
thieted their business As the Government does, our
"menercial cities would be populated with bank
sad if the SA MO delay was exercised byta house

under the Continental, for example, in the delivery
Os pair of ponlaloona, 'when ordered, as there has
been in the delivery of pontoons, he would not now

Paid but rather "good-will and fixtures for sale,"

its present mode of doing business.

TO THE MEMORY OF A. JAY M
Our companionship is ended forever,
But true friendship can never forget,
And though death compels us to sever,
Fond memory Clings to thee yet ;
And recounts those days of our gladness,
When life was free from a care,
Ere our hearts had tasted of sadness
Or seen the world more false than fair.
Experience soon taught us the truth,
That life was no pathway of roses,
In the Bowers we cull in our youth,
Time the cruel thorn discloies.
Thy race is run with youthful speed,
And left me, lonely, on the track ;
Although for thee my heart must bleed,
I would not dare to wish thee back._
- -Sru,-rnttierwotftrriii for thee
A calm beyond the tooth,
Where earthly tempests cannot come
To cloud thy soul with gloom.
God grant thee rest, my cherished friend,
In realms of bliss to reign,
'Where happiness shall never cease,
But free from worldly stain.
Thy spirit may enjoy that:peace
Which here thou vast denied,
•Where slanders tongue (kith never cease
To crush ambition's pria.

la. A. CASE TO BE NOTICED.—SOME
years since, It young man, born in l'ennmylrai to
and a graduate of eine of our colleges, took up his abode
in the South, at first in Alabama and then 111 Georgia.
He became a Minister of the Gospel and a teacher of
youth.' He was industrious, prudent, and genial, and
commanded general Confidence her his integrity, Purity,
and religious consistency. Ilis labors were abundant.
and his influence extended. lie married an estimable
and intelligeot lady. He liCenntninted some property, a
garden, a dwelling, a library - , with other means of com
fortable subsistence. Fire sweet children blessed his
happy home. Tleim came the storm. While the difficul
ties wtih the Government were brewing - , true to the prin
ciples of his birth, training, and conscience, he was
openly and strongly a Union man. When secession
waS accomplished, he became prudently silent, but
steadfastly refused tb offer public prayer for the Con
federate President and Congress. This was his only
shadow of offence; but for this be was set upon in the
streets by n mob, stoned, kicked, dragged by the hair,
and. beaten. Bow ie knives and pistols were flourished
around hint and M. and it was even proposed to
hang him to a tree in the public Sono re before the mitt
house door. Some. of his parishioners interposed, and

The most remarkable chapters in the whole work, such
as that entitled "Cambronne ;" the most remarkable
book, the mod ticent and unsparing denunciation of the
Convent; the guest Peewit, such as Fautine's Cradle
Song and Jean Provaire's Rhymes; the grandest prose
