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

"I havo gained throe hundred desirable

"That remains to bo provod," quoth

"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,

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.

tho following allusion to tho loto defeats
of tho "Dimmyoratio Party," whioh it
would bo woll to lay to heart :
"Thinns arc now just as bad as thoy
