Merrill on Monday pardoned Mrs. Catharine Macardle, the old lady who has been in the State Penitentiary for four yearn. This old women, full of maternal devotion, heroically sacrificed herself to save her son from the gallows. The son had killed his father, and the mother, to avert the doom from her offspring, claimed and confessed that it was . she who had committed the mur der, and on her own confession - was con demned to be hung. Governor Stone com muted her sentence to imprisonment for life. The poor woman after one or two attempts to commit suicide in the Jackson county Jail, was - finally sent to the Penitentiary, and in the gloomy clasp of that prison she has been for tour years, waiuf — q — ari - d - praying for deat.. When we visited the Penitentiary last fall she was shrivelled in body and nearly so in mind. For four years she had received no word from her friends-65 years old, with her right arm palsied and helpless, abandon= ed by all of her blood, a victim to heroic motherly devotion, and with the light of earth, and seemingly that of Heaven, shut from her, she was truly as sad an object as ever trod the wine press of woe. Many per sons have interested themselves in her behalf; and at last through the kindness and consid erativeness of our noble Governor, the dis graceful chains are stricken from her limbs and she is once more free out not.happy. A TERRIFYING SURMISE.—Nothing but the truth of God's word can give comfort and true peace, either living or•dying. While living, if. men nut are resting on the word, they oan at least have no rest in denying it. The very fear lest the Bible be true is e nough to mar all enjoyment. A celebrated iufidfl said one day to a friend of his who had imbibed the same principles : 'There is one thing that mars all 'the plea. sures of my life' 'lndeed) replied his. friend• 'What is that ?' 'I am afraid the Bible is true I If I could know certainly that death is an eternal sleep I should be happy) my joy would be com plete 1 But here is the thorn that stings me. This is the sword that pierces my soul. If the Bible is true, I am lost forever. ' At no moment of difficulty does is husband, knowing his own utter helplessness, draw so closely to his wife's side for'com Fort and as sistance, as when he wants a button-sewed on his shirt collar. Whenever the soul is in grief, it is taking root, and when it stailso it is taking wings. - • *c Tiacloroari cleat .lPapr&ll3r , I\rovv.sirsittoems. A LEGEND OF 17713,, Night had set in deep, and in a small log cabin situated a few miles from Trenton, N. sat five men, four of whom were 'seated at an old oaken table in the , centre of the room engaged itlayirig cards, while they frequeCtly moistened their- throats with late draughts from an earthen jug that stood on the table. They were heavily bearded coarse - -locking men ; and, from their dress, which some what resembled the British uniform, they were evidently Tories. The other was a stout-built young man, clad in the Continen tal uniform. He tat in one corner of the room with his face buried in his bands. '.l±Tom;_saitkone of the Toriert,-risitig—fre - ri the table and seating himself near the young prisoner, for such he evidently was, 'Tom, you and I were school-boys together, and I like you yet. Now why can't you give. up your wild notions and join us ? You arty , ttr-prisonerrand-if-we-shall-lriti you over to headquarters to morrow, while if you join us your fortune is made, For - with— your bravery and talents you will soon dirt- , tinguish yourself in the royal army, and af• ter this rebellion is crushed out, your course would be rewarded by a knighthood and pro motion in the army. Now there are two al ternatives— which do you choose.' 'Neither,' said the poling man, raising his head and looking tho Tory steadily in the eye. am now, as you say, your prisoner, but when the clock strikes twelve I shall leave you—l shall disappear in a cloud of fire and smoke, and neither you not your comrades, not even myself, can - prevent it.— You may watch me as closely as you please, tie me hand and foot if you will, but a high. er poWer than yours or mine has ordained that I shall leave you at that time. 'Poor fellow, his mind wanders,' said the Tory; 'he'll talk differently in 'the morning' And he returned to his seat at the table, leaving the-youth with his head again rest ing in his hands. When the cloak struck eleven, the young prisoner drew a pipe and some tobacco from his pocket, and asked the Tory if he had any objection to his smoking. 'None in the least,' he said, adding, with a laugh, 'that is if you'll promise not to disappear in a cloud of tobacco smoke.' The young man made no reply, but imme diately filled and lighted his pipe, having done which, he arose and commenced pacing the floor. He _took_ half-a-dozen turns up and down each side of the room, approaching nearer the table each time, when, having ex hausted his pipe, he returned to his seat and refilled it. He continued to smoke until the clock struck twelve, when he arose from hie seat, and slowly knocking the ashes out of his pipe, said— 'There, boys, it's twelve o'clock, and I must leave . you ; good-by I' Immediately all around the room streaks e ran hissing and squirming; the cabin was filled with densh sulphurous smoke, while was heard a clap of thunder. The Tories sat in their chairs paralyzed with fright. The smoke soon cleared away, but the pris oner was nowhere to be seen. The table was overturned, the window was smashed to pieces, and one chair was lying on the ground outside of the building. The Tory leader, after recovering from his stupor, gave one glance around the room and sprang out of the window, followed by his comraes. They ran through the forest at the top of their speed in the direction of the British encampment, leaving their muskets and other arms to the mercy of the flames, which had began to devour the, cabin. The next day, two young men dressed in the Continental uniform were seen standing near the ruins of the old cabin. One was of the night previous. 'Let us -hear all a bout it, Tom,' said the other. ‘Well,' said he, 'last evening, as I was passing this place, two Tories ran out of the cabin and took possession of me. Before I could wake any resistance, they took me in, and who do you suppose I saw as the leader of their party, but John Barton, our old schooltnate,----He-talked-with-me ; -and—trier to induce me to join them ; but I told them I couldn't do it—that at twelve ,o'clock was going to escape, disappear in a cloud of fire and smoke ; but he -laughed at me, and said I was out of my head. About eleven o'clock I asked him if I might smoke. He said he had no objection ; so I filled my pipe and lighted it, and com menced walking the floor. 1 had about a pound of gunpowder in my pocket, and as I walked I strewed it all over the fluor. When the clock struck twelve, I bade them good by, and told them I had to go; and then knocking the ashes out of my pipe, the pow der ignited, and a dazzling flame of fire shot across, around and all over the room, filling it with suffocating smoke. Before it cleared away, I hurled a chair through the window sprang out and departed, leaving them to their own reflections. You know the rest.' In a school district in the far West they had a gentleman teacher who thought it ad. visable to give his scholars some lessons in politeness. Among other things ho told the boys in addressing a gentleman they should always say 'Sir,' and gave them examples, and made quite a lesson of it. Ooe boy was particularly delighted, and took occasion to speak to his teacher often, to be profited by his teachings. When he went home to din-- ner, his father said: 'Tom, want soma meat?' •Yes, sir, I thank you.' The next thing the boy knew, his father's band came whack on his ear, and his father's voice thundered out: I'll teach you to sass, your dad I.' Torn gave ,up being polite. Au incautious individual at Terre Haute, the other day, after smoking, put his pipe into his pocket with a package of powder.— Ho was seen shortly after, looking a good deal surprised, and inquiring for. his coat. tail awl a large piece of his pautaloms. Honesty - the — ll - et* Polio, A SHORT STORY OF A OLEHR. A young man by the name of Ames, a ' clerk for a merchant in New York, was en trusted With large amount-to" - collect, - which he performed honestly, so well as his em• ' ployer could discover; but Smith, that was the merchant's name , —was a very cautious Man, and Often laid 'traps' to catch his clerks in defrauding him; if any of them were not proof against dishonesty. In this way he ascertained which of them vould be trusted, and when he•found one of them dish On e -st he would discbarge.him. Mr. Smith kept a wholesale - and retail -s-rigiadir 'Store, doing an immense business and after he had accomplished a fortune, and he had begun to think of retiring from business, he said : 'Now I am going to give up my business. to sueh of my clerks - as - I know to be h - onest - I - shall test them one what Ames is—au honest rascal.' The next morning be called upon a friend, whose son was intimate with young Ames, and arranged a 'trap' to test his honesty.— He bad a large number. of accounts to col lect that day, and Robert L—(his friend's son) was to meet him as if hry accident. Robert managed to meet Ames just as he had completed his colleotion,-and-had a large roll of bills and 'lots' of currency, when the following conversation ensued; 'Good morning Ames—been out collect ing ? Got lots of money, I suppose r_ 'Yes I've over a thousand dollars and I must hurry back to the store, as I'm afraid I may get robbed. One don't know who may- be dogging his steps in such a city as New York.' 'Don't be in a burry. Let'e go into Tay lor's.and get some ice cream, &c. foot the bill. • And so into Taylor's they went and sat down to a beautiful marble table. 'Now, Ames,' said Robert, 'you have a pocket full of money and I am rather short, just take a dollar out of the roll of green backs and pay the bill. .Nobody need know about it. You can turn over the money to the-cashier, andif=he—discovers—it short-one dollar, you may say you can t account for it, some mistake somewhere. Such errors oe• cur often, you know, and nobody thinks one dishonesell yon, Ames, such chaps as you don't get more than half paid for their services, and it would not be wrong occasion ally to take a few shillings when it can , be done without detection. I, know a young fellow who pays all his small bills, such as for jtecps, cigars, and g oing out to the the atres, in that way, and has done so for years, and his employer never suspected him of dishonesty.' 'No sir,' replied Ames, cannot comply with your s request. A dollar short in my cashuaighele considered an err6PUnd over looked; but there would come a settlement with conscience, which could not be got over very easily. Ny father used to say to me 'Jqhnny, when-you grow to be a man re• member that honesty is the best policy:— He's dead and gorse now, but these words will never be forgotten. I know I'm work ing for low wages, but I agreed•to work for what I receive, and I have no right to use my employer's money on that account. No. Robert, 1 refuse your request with scorn and indignation. I am poor, but thank God, I have never yet taken money that did not be. long to me, and I trust I never shall; and if this is the way you seek to turn young men from the path of rectitude, I desire never to meet you again." Ames then arose and left Robert seated ; and returned to the store. Tho'next day Dlr. Smith called his,elorka into his private offtee and told them all to be coated, 'Boys,' said be, am, going to retire from busincs. I have made my fortune here, and now I propose to loan my entire stock and trade—some $250,000 and the good will of my customers- to such of you as I feel I -can-trust.—Ames,—Stanton--and—Llaufor handing a document to Ames—'here is the bill of sale. You will, if agreeable, take im. mediate possession, and the payments may be made at your convenience. I have tested your honor, each of you, no matter how, and I have no doubt that you believe honesty is the best policy. Good morning, gentlemen' —taking up his bat. 'I wish you prosperity in trade.' The firm of 'Ames, Stanton & Danford' is now one of the wealthiest in New York.— Ames is married—lives on Fifth Avenue, is worth half a million, and all the result of the refusal to embezzle a dollar of his employer's money.

A fine of from $5OO to $5,000, and imprisonment, from six months to two years is prescribed for the violation of any of these provisions. All distilling apparatus must be register. ed with the Assistant Assessor, and all per sons going into the distillery business must register in the same manner under penalty of fine and imprisonment. The registry must include a detailed statement of the capacity, &e., of the establishment. The distiller must give bonds with two sureties for double the amount of the tax on the full capacity of the distillery during a period of fifteen days, but io no case less than $5,000; conditioned that the principal shall comply with all the provisions of the law, as well as pay all fines imposed for its violation. Forfeiture of the establishment, as_welt.as fine and imprisonment, is the pen alty for violation of this provision. Distilleries and rectifying establishments are not permitted within six hundred feet of each other, whether belonging to the same or different persons. The use of any still is forbidden in any dwelling or enclosure ,connected therewith where sugar or syrup is made or liquor retailed. In addition to the tax per gallon, every dis tillery with a capacity of twenty bushels of grain per day or less, shall pay a tax of two dollars per day, Sundays excepted ; and au additional tal''of two dollars fur each addition al capacity of_twenty-bushels. But any die tiller who shall suspend work shall be re quired to pay only two dollars per day &w -° ino' the suspension. Still makers are required under penalty of $5OO and forfeiture of apparatus to notify the assessor of the manufacture of any still. Distillers must provide a room at their own expense for a_banded warehouse, to be un der control of the collector of the district. man or a Other sections provide for the general management of distilleries, the relative du ties of assessors and distillers, for cheeks a gainst fraud, for drawbacks, means of- ob• taining purity, and affil penalties for all vi olations of the law. A special tax of $4OO is imposed upon ev ery hundred barrels of spirits manufactured, and there is also imposed licenses of $lOO for every $25,000 worth sold, and $lO in crease for every $l,OOO increase of sales. Manufactures of cigars must pay a tax of $5 on every thousand made, without regard to quality, and ou all cigarettes, if they weigh loss than three pounds to the thousand, $l,. 50., if over that weight, $5. Dealers in tobacco, selling not exceeding $lO,OOO worth annually, pay a tax of $25, and $2 extra for every $l,OOO worth sold. Raisers are not taxed for sales of their own production. Dealers selling between $lOO and $l,OOO worth are taxed $5; those above $l,OOO, $2 extra for every additional $l,OOO solci. Manufactures of tobacco pay $lO, and $2 additional for every $l,OOO their bond is in excess of $5,000. Manufactures of cigars pay $lO where there sales do not exceed 8.6-,000-annually r and s2.additional_for_every $l,OOO in excess of that amount. All snuff and chewing tobaoooo is taxed 32 cents per bound; smoking tobacco, 16 cents per pound. Does it Pay to Smoke. Pecuniarily considered, of course it does not pay to smoke. It costa the world an nually five hundred million dollars for tobac co. And this connects the use of the weed with higher considerations, for this comes out of the world's surplus fund, out of which comes the means of extending civilization.— In the'United States, moreover, four hun dred thousand acres of land are exhausted by tobacco, which should be devoted to grain for the thousands who have needed it the past winter. One strong point made by Mr Parton is that tobacco is the enemy of women. Not only because its filthiness keeps men away from the sex and makes them seek the com pany of each other to indulge the habit, but because it destroys manhood. The point is simply this : Tobacco, by disturbing and impairing vitality, tends to vitiate the relit thins between the sexes, tends to lessen man's interest in woman and his enjoyment of her society and enables him to endure and be contented with, and finally even to prefer the companionship bf men. Put that thought into your pipe and smoke it. Ahiong the great Men of our country who did not'smoke, were Washington,. Franklin and Jefferson. Washington Irving was not a smoker, though nobody ever drew such de lightful pictures of lusty Von Twillers en veloped in clouds of tobacco smoke. Gce;he never smoked, nor could he have smoked and remained Gcotho.- The man so perfect in body, so. lofty and splendid in intellect, and so grand io character, could not have been a smoker.
