Ned Onnond was my school-fellow, an ugly dog, an ignorant dog, but a knowing dog; every possible caninization wn9 be stowed upon Ned, except that of being a "stupid hound !' lie was "up to snuff," but always at the bottom of his class. W wore dunces of neither Harrow. JJton, nor Westminister ; it was our fate to bo flog ged up the liill of learning along a less dis tinguished path. Our short-sighted par ents thought more of making Oreek vcr ces than Euglish connections ; aud, at fourteen wo quitted our hugo rod-brick house of correction at Ohiswiek, knowing nothing not oven a lord. UnJorttinatcly, i hud parents unvo aud nlivo to my deficiencies ; for having, in family cnuucil, votctl me a dunce of the first magnitude, they dispatched mo to lCdinburg for the completion of my educa tion, under the cross grained vigilance of an old uuelo occupying a Prol'essor'n choir who for four ensuing years crammed me with knowlodgo, and craminod wo with naught besido. My kinsmau spared ovcry thing but instruction ; and I accordingly grow up as uparo as he was sparing, till 1 starved into jockey-weight of flesh and Johnsonian londeroiity of learning. I quitted lidinburg ut two aud-twenty, us promising a young sprig of a pondaul as CTcr emanated from its humanities, Ned Ormond, meanwhile, who was au orphan, bullied Ins guardian into sending hi.n to Oainhridgo, Tho oxpenso of suoh a step was alarming, for hi Ibrtutu amounted only to six thousand pouudsj but Ned represented, aud with connuit sancc do citusc, that thoio was no getting ou lifo without a collego education.

"That remains to bo provod," quoth Russet. "1 wish you may livo to boo it," was the rejoinder of his hopeful ward; and it was shortly after this coloquy batwoen thorn that wo were launched into our several ca reers of life ; Ned becamo a man about town; I to be wanderer over tho wotld. Having taken my degree as U. A I was to commence my bcatilio careor as bear-leader to a young nobleman possess ing iuimcnso patronage in tho church. Appointed to preside over his lordship's traveling-morality, I was compelled to be if not a ficld-prcaehcr at loast a road proachcr, against tho temptations of tho world and the flesh; with a view of iuetal ling myself, thereafter, preacher to the poor of his lordship's parish, against the temptations of tho devil. Vu got on admiralty together. His noble practice throve under my ignoble preaching. Mv axioms seoniod iudoed to possess a sort of negative attraction ; for whatever tho pcdaaojmo interdicted tho pupil snatched to his bosom. Day after day was I insulted, quizzed, hoaxed, anil defied. There would havo been no living through it all, but for tho living which lay, like a land of Canaan beyond the wil- dornoss, at the ond of tho profpoet. 1 knew that sufferance was the badgo of all my tribe, anil submitted without any auu iblo murmur. Three lone years did I pipo to tho dan cing of my lordly boar; in Franco, Italy, Germany, Kussia. and Spain ; now frozen to death, now stewed alive, now diluted with soupemn'tgrcy now stuffod liko a lur kov with trulUes and mouls : tho Gorccst extremes of weather aud diet wcro inflicted without remorse upon the poor bear-load er of a tutor I At length, as tho poriod of my release was annroaehiii0:, and I felt that in requital for tho purgatory 1 had bor lie so paiioutly his lordship could do no loss than conduot mo into tho Paradiso of Granglcbo, my noble tormentor was knocked on the head by the moring tlar of Dronthim watchman ; when my applica tion for proforent to the distant comin Kuoecoding to tho earldom was au6W0icd l by a haughty hint that I otmht to have taken caro of my piqil; and that the family wished to hoar no further mention of my name. A dcopor humiliation soon fell on my professional career than oven that of a I toadying tutorship. One day having boon i'Uo t attend a meeting of the Ueographi- col Society, I wns pitched upon by a gal lant Captain Dareall, with whom 1 had made acquaintance at Malta, to accom pany him in an expedition of Aftioan dis covery. My meek, forbearing countennucc inspired him wiih intercut. Ho swore I was tho man for his nionoy ; promisnd I should shure his glory sharo his gains ; baptize tho whole kingdom of Dahomoy ; throw down the islands of half aoontincnt aud write aqurrtcr of his own quarto! Tho Captain was a bold man. Ho talked with plausibility 1 listened with enthusi asm. Having secured the necessary firmans, and a sneoifio nirainst tho placuo and tho cholrra, we embarked with a cargo of blue beads, tin tackp, caoulclioue-sheots, oil silk parasols, and a patent freezing appa ratuc; and, in tho course of thrco years from our landing, confronted stripes, im piisonnicnt, tho cheating of consuls, and b.irb.irity ofbovs, four fevers, two dysen teries, ono coin) ile ioli il, and a variety of cutaneous abominations too tedious to enumerate all tho plagues of Pharaoh, and, in short, a hundred morel Not, however, to talk too plaiulully on my ex cruciations, suffice it that in the sequel 1 returned solo survivor of tho expedition; having, as I havo since boon assured, oaton tho suigcon of tho party baked in a llot tentoten anthill, and leaving all that tho mtHketoos had lelt of tho gallant captain, inhumed in tho sands of Wallah-allah-assiboo, two thousand miles boyond Tim buctoo !

Bloomsburg, Pcnn'a. SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 3, 18C3, The Riso in Prices. Tho effects of the greenbaok legal ten dor upon priocs aro now boginning to forco thcuieclvos upon tho people. This currcuoy has not yet been in circulation two years, but it has croatod a comploto revolution in tho pricos of nearly all ar ticles of domestio consumption. Every necessary of lifo has within that period al most doublod, and in boiuo instaucos has trebled in prico, and upon tlioso who nro dependant upon fixed wages for a liveli hood, tho iucrcasod prices havo fallon quito hoavy. Tharo is no possibility, as far aa human foresight can go, of there being any chango for tho better. So long as tho Government keep thoir printing presses printing greenbacks representing almost labulous amounts, just so long will there bo a strong upward tondouoy of everything that can bo bought and sold. A greenbaok representing one dollar is now not worih much moro than half that nuiount, aud, howevor, much il may be claimed by boiuo that tho country is financially in a pro3 nerous condition, any one who thinks for a moment cannot fail to sco tho fallacy of such an assertion. With nearly a mil lion of men drawn away from their accus tomed habits of orcating capital, wo have that numbor engaged in destroying it This fact alono without taking in consid eration tho withdrawal of all coin repre senting an amount ot labor actually ex pondod upon it in mining, coining, &o. would account for K heavy incroaso in vol uo of every article which these mon could bo employed in manufacturing. The greenbacks aro bcint; issuod to in flato the cost of living, increase taxos,kccp the poor man in perpetual want and insure his ohildreu a pauper's inheritance Tru ly, our condition is blessed. The heart less wretches at Washington ehould bo made to realize the struggles of the men of limited incomes. The one contended la boring man, who, thongh poor, could pur chase with the rewards, of his toil all tho comforts of life for his faraily. Dut what a picture of wrotchedncBH does lio prcsont to-day, endeavoring to olotho, feed and cduoato his hltlo onos, with his balurday night's pay in greenbacks, at CO cents on tho dollar. To bo sure, work ia plenty, ho is over busy, ho hopes ho is soon to bo ablo to get out of his present financial perplexi ties ; to be sure, ho is earning more than ho ovor did before, but somehow ho is got ting deeper and dcopor into debt. Ho hardly understands it. Work is plenty, wages good, but shoes aro very dear, clothing novrr so high, flour, potatoes, meat, coal, terribly up. There is no little store laid tip now as thoro onoo was when wages wrro low. lio can t ex- ' actly see it, but ho is vory hard up all tho ' time, with money plenty and pay good. , Ah ! my poor laboring brothori, wo aro grossly, willfully, wickedly decoivod by j the miserable, lying journals. Tho black hoartcd proacliers and orators also tell us 1 that wo aro prospering during this horrid war. They aro holding a hollish oarnival all over the North. Kiot and revelry, i robbery and murder, every critno whioh tho lust of man oan ooncoive, it being on acted by tho prospering portion of tho people. As bloody war mado what they call this prosperity, tho cry is "kcop up this bloody war, for 'peaoo' is adverhity." Neither havo wo icen (ho wont. Prices must continue to adyanco in tho ratio of tho expansion of tho currency and tho de population of tho country by war. If (his Abolition Administration is suffered to go on in its extravagant, dcrtructivo career, tho North must in time roach the condition of tho people of tho Jjouth in rcspcot to pricos and currency. And wo shall foci it still moro grievously than ihey, aa wo arc vastly moro depondent on commercial, manufacturing and mochauical business, which is affected to a greater oxtetit than agriculture by a financial crisis. All fixed incomes, investments, salarios, ko., will feel tho prcsbure,and this, with increased taxation and hoavy tariffs, will impose al most crushing weight upon tho people. In the South tho war is tho prinoipal business of all classes, aud our Administration seems determined to crush cvorylhing olso and force all our groat industrial interests to succumb to tho war policy. What can tho pooplo do to chango this current of affairs i Not much, perhaps, at present; hut the tituo will booh arrivo when their voico may bo potent and influ cnti d in favor of a different policy. There is nothing to hopo for tho Union, for llio great pecuniary and social intorcsts of tho countrj, or for liboity, in tho war policy. Tho longer the war is continued the mora deplorable must bo tho stato of affairs, Our greatest military success cannot re store tho blessings of a fraternal Union, and cau only, atthobeit,euforeonn armed despotism ovt tho South, destroy their great indu'iral system, and paupcriso millions of u eful laborers. The question of Govcrnit. .ut, which wo havo bcon told this war is to scttlo forcvor, will still re main open lor tho decision of future con- j orations, and our childrou will gain only , tho legacy of a hugo national dobt as tho result ot our uitcruocino comoBt.

Ono winter it had awful cold woathor, and Kiah had had wonderful bad luck, and towards spring it sceuicd to get worse liistoatl ol bettor.
