Old Nick walked into Alfo ‘ ,l room
And stood close at his thet.

As other beasts oft do.
And cried aloud. - Awake aid Abe

Then Nhe rose aid* &ern his 1At, 2 ,;
Bet what seems strange to toll,
From sulpher or Born something else,
There came a noisome smell.
Then Nick took Abe on his back,
And Won* he swore,
He never cat roil down below
Se had a man betbre.
When to the river Styx they came,
Old ('hams with his heat
Reftmed to take old Abe o'er,
Or change a greenback note.
Old Charon said, "My charge is small,
One penny in Irani east',

Nor no such worthless trash.
'Remember, Abe. you don't on rue

And as yen have no eopperhewl,
I'll row you o'er on trust.
"Although so had a man before
Neer o'er this river went—
A glorious Yankee President,
And cannot raise a cent."
Then Nick and Abe get in the boat
And Chinon rowed them o'er ;
Bight glad was he to land them both
Upon the nether shore.
Then Nick took Abe by the arm,
And said, "Come on with me,
My little imps will be rejoiced
do great a man to ace."
They entered now within a place
Of sulphur. fire and smoke,
Said Nick to Abe, ''Don't this remind
You of a little joke?
"This the tyrant's last abode,
When he from earth has past.
lie! ha! ha! ha! give us a joke,
Lot's have old Abe's last."
Poor Abs eenid not way a word,
He trembled so with fear.
But into a warm corner reeled,
And sank down on a chair.
"Come out of that!" old Nick cried out,
I keep that. seat Assured,
And that ermseltair is ready there
Awaiting Billy Seward
"And here is Ilurnee Greeley's next--
the next one is fur Chas.'.
But Forney and Ben Butler
Must have a hotter place.
"Halleek's seat is farther on,
With Pope's close by the fires;

"Here's Curtin's with a shoddy pad,

With Colonel Fish upon my fork
I'll have a general Fry.
"And as for Bmwnlew, that old knave,
He knows this place so well,
Therefore the foul-monthod Parson shall
Be scavenger of hell."
Again he tot poor Abe on,
Though bat a little spa c e,
Stop Ted by stn iron door and s.nid,

The Mysterious Prisoner.
S o me newspaper readers of tenacious
nienemy may, perhaps, still remember the
sensation produced two years ago b: the
statement that a mysterious prisoner had
been brought from the West to Washingtoa
by a pease of Stanton's Nullifiers. This
doomed victim (Jr they Amoriean Star Chatn.
her was decribel an haring come heavily
msnaeled, and his figure and face so cum
{dote!y mulled up that no human eye could
gain the least idea of his appearance. The
extraordinary precaution taken to keep up
the prisoner's incognito, and the 'erre Ivith
wills)) all access to him was guarded by Ba
ker's .letectives, raised public curiosity to
the highest pinisible pitch. But all attempts
to penetrate Cho mystery failed. The pa
pers 'kept the excitement up for a while by
muttering dark hints at, a repetition of the
story of the "Man in the Iron Mask," but
as startling events succeed each other so
rapidly in the stirring times we lire in, the
affair was gradually allowed to drop into
oblivion and be forgotten in some other nine
days wonder."
But "murder"—as the popular adage
rays—"will out," and though uur criminal
etatisticts show that this saying is by no
means recognized as true aiming the police
force. it has proved itself in this exception
al instance. It seems that thin. modern

he would rejoice with him. "I cannot con

"Sedi a bargain," said the Emperor,

that necessity has compelled him to pert

income of thirty-six thousand kobatut, thus

The Prince, ashamed, sought the owner of

friend presented himself, and by common
consent the queetion was referred to him.
It was a delicate matter. He thought of
Paris and the throe goddesse.. Glancing
from one to the other of the beautiful
white bands presented for his elimination,
he replied at last "I give it up, the gum
tion is too hard for me , but asl the poor,
and they will tell you the most beautiful
hand in the world is the hand that gives."

Every man of any intelligence must bo
aware of the fact, that the world is made
either better or worse by his living.
Take the world as a whole, or if you
please, take each individual government as
a whole, coneisting of persona with different
tempermenta, aspirations and views ; and
wa will have a curious compound in
which all its members are working directly
or indirectly for our interest. Thin this to
some may seem a very strong insertion at
first thought, hot we thick by giving it a
second thought, on one will hesitate to ac
cept' it as truth. Our aim in life is to make
ourselves happy, cud all we do, is or ought
to be intended to conduce to this grand
end. Whatsoever Fat i,ftett a man't ambition,
crownn his wishes, mid makes hire happy
The height of Napoleon's ambitiou was
mintiest, but it seemed wise and good that
his ambition could not be satisfied ; hence
he was made inisertible by being conquered,
and thereby fidling subject to the %Web to
suffer as a subdued foe, which was in this
ease banishment for life on a desolate
what gave him the greatest amount of hap
piness, caused the people the mod misery.
Look, at the misery, starring and pain,
the burning of the City of Mutteow caused.
Families turned out of heraaes and homey,
just entering a winter that would pierce the
unprotected to the heart, and wrest froni
them their lives, and leave them stiff and
cold to be buried on the snow. But wo
reed net go to the Russians to hear of suf
fering, because we need only to turn our at
tention to the history of Napoleon's army
and we will read of' starvation staring the
~trong, sturdy, and robust, soldier in the
fines ; until his frame begins to grow weak
end feeble, his eye dim and languid, and his
stop slow and faltering. and one after anoth
er lays themselves down to die because they
could not obtain the nourishment necessary
to sustain life.
We might notiee on Alexander. a Ces.ar
and other , hoe ambition Ml 3 crowned
with better mimeos, hat not :atillied became
it was more than a coigne:4 of all the world
could ratisfy. And others_whose, , chier en
joyment wea tyranny, not mremingly aware,
that their happiness depended on making
their subjects more happy. For instance ,
tnlie King John of England, who newt-did
but one good thing iu his life, which with
signing the 31gri Charter giving his will
.iectb :owe liberties of which Feretolbre they
haul bocce and lie only done that
b' cause the poople compelled him ; ated
history tells us he ros the most miserable
human being upon the earth.
But on the other hand we read of carers '
whose chief enjoyment was to make their
government better, and alleviate the suit
timings of their fellow men. King Alfred of
England was a striking example of this,
true, he was engaged in n very trying eon-
test with the Danes, but they were the in• .
vaders, and his object was not conquer t. but
to expel the invaders and maintain fur
himself and his people his as well as their . 1
rights, and to dl this; ern read of bin sub
jecting himself nranial resources that br
may save his country. Thp Daneisubdued,
and driven nut, and the Kingdom nnoc
more restored to peace ; the King sets 4111.1'
self at work repairing the damages of the I
war, improving his country, and making
better Laws fur his subjects, instead of coin-'
polling them to submit to tyranny, oruelti,
or bloodshed.
We might also name a Washington an , l a
Victoria the present Queen of England,
whose chief object was end is to promote
their countries best interstate ; and to en
courage all kinds of manual labor and aden
tilie persuits, that the people may obtain all
the cowforts of life, and enjoy all the bless
ings that civilisation brings to a country.
Again we might name Kiag Henry VIII.
and Queen Mary both of England, whose
selfkhness and cruelty caused many good
and great man to bow to their iron eeptre,
and yield up the life that was so valuable to
their emintry and in many eves (Mary) the
cause of Christ. True Henry was not a
perneeuter of the Christians, but was even
inparnmental in forwarding the work of the
Great Reformation; hut in history we read
that his motives for taking ides with the
Reformers were only aelfieh, as by these
means he could boat gain his evil designs.
History says nothing of Mary but cruelty to
her people and opposition to and bloodshed
in the Reformation by causing many s pious
reformer to be drsged to the block or stake,
and conitaanding that their head should
severe from their body, or that they should
be burned.
We have called your attention to the dif
ferent loaders bemuse their fshantoters are
well known, and as the pen* over whom
they rule are either tor or against them, it
is easily shown that all mast exert a greater
or less infuenoe , and if their influence is
given to a good cam the world !meld be
better for their living, bat if a bad one,
their lives will be spent in sowist emod, the
fruit of whieb will be, misery wretchedness,
sad vice ; All of which goes to show that
the world is good or bad jut' as the people
choose to make it.
