The compen sation of labor was never so unsettled as during the last four years. While wage* were advancing no laborer would bind him scll to work for a specific sum any consider able length of time, for he knew not how ‘•the prices” of consumable articles would rulp. Wages rolled up like the flow of the tide, and now that the war ia over and “the prices” declining, it naturally follows that the ebb of wages must begin. In this situation it is greatly to the interest of all working-- men to look at the subject intelligently and without that bias against capital which is so apt to cloud the understanding ol well-mean ing met}. _______________ The city debt of New York is over $30,- 000.000.

An Interesting Incident ok the War—A Lesson Taught. —Many instances have been given by travelers of the affection shown by the Arabian horses towards their masters ; and so much, also, has been written to prove their sagacity, as to make one believe, at times, lliat they must be endowed witii an instinct which approaches nearly, if not quite, to the reasoning faculty of a human being. Be this, however, as it may, we very much doubt if among the feats nurrated ot the the East any can be found that exceeds in affectionate devotion the follow ing incident, which was told us a few days since at Saratoga by tbe soldier to whom it occurred. Tbe narrator is a young Irishman, and like many others of bis nation, joined, shortly after his arrival in America,Sheridan's brigade. It was in one of those forced marches when they had driven back tbe enemy and had been in the saddle for several consecutive days and nights, that this trooper avail ed himself of a temporary halt to slip from his saddle and stretch himself upon tlie tprf, his horse, meanwhile, browsing in the im mediate vicinity. He had slept ior some lit tle time, when he was suddenly awakened by the frantic pawing of his'horse at his side. Fatigued by bis long ride, he did not rouse at once, but lay in that partially conscious state which so frequently attends great phy sical prostration. Soon, however, the faith ful animal perceiving that its efforts had fail ed to accomplish thcir.object, licked bis face, and placiug its mouth close to his ear uttered a loud snort. Now thoroughly awake, he sprang up, and as the horse turned tor him to mount lie saw for the first time that his comrades had all disappeared,, and limit I* enemy were coming down upon him at full gallop. Once mounted, the faithful beast bore him with the speed of the wind safely from the danger and soon placed him among his companions- “Thus,” he added with emotion, “the noble fellow saved me from captivity and perhaps from death,” Can there be found on record a more beau tiful example of affectionate devotion ou tbe part of a dumb brute to bis master Ilian this ? Undoubtedly similar examples have occurred during the recent wardwhich will forever lie buried in oblivion. Would that they might be brought to light, if their narration could in any degree mitigate the cruelty to which the,horse is constantly subjected, especially in our large cities where many of the drivers are more brulal than the beasts they have in Charge.—-V. Y. Kvenimj Post. Effect of Polygamy. —Mr. Bowles, of the Springfield Republican, who accompa nies Mr. Colfax in his Western trip, - writes from Utah tbe following account of tbe Mormon women : How do the Mormon women like and bear polygamy 't is. the question most people ask as 10 the institution. The universal leptimo ny of all but their husbands is that it is a grevions sorrow and burden ; only cheerful ly submilted to and embraced under a re ligious fanaticism and self-abnegation rare to behold and possible only to ivoinen. They are taught to believe, and many of them do believe that through aad by it they secure a higher and more glorious reward in the future world. “Lord Jesus has laid a heavy trial upon me,” said one poor, sweet, woman, “but 1 mean to bear it tor his sake, and tor tlie glory he will grant me in his kiugdom.” This is the common wail, the common solace. Such are the teachings of the church ; and I hayn no bqubt both husbands and wives aifke ofteii honestly " accept this view of the odious practice, and seek and submit to polygamy as really God’s holy service, calculated to make saints of them selves and all associated with them in tlie future world, Still a good deal of human nature is visible, both among the men in embracing polygamy and in their wives in submitting tp if.

A Tetter dated at Jaffa (Palestine, j Jijpe 30, describes a visitation of locusts as follow J: “In thkhnoatii of April lust we observed twice large dark clouds, tesembliug smoke, moving to and fro as if swayed by me wind. One morning these clouds came down and proved to be locusts, s<vgreat in number that the whole laud was covered with them. The grain at that time was full in ear and nearly ripe, but the locusts did not touch it or nnv other vegetation. Soon after, however, it was observed that they buiied themselves in tbe soil, and there deposited their innumera ble eggs. The Arabs and peasants saw the approaching mischief, and went through the laud in thousands digging for Uiese eggs; they succeeded to a cert (Tin degree, and dcstroed inerediltle numbers with water and lire, but all their efforts had very Bute effect. “About tbe middle of May small black creatures, at a distance resembling large ants, were observed accumulating in large heaps throughout the country, and a few days alter they had been thus seen they began to leap, and manifested the coming calamity and in vasion ot tlie fearful army, as described so emphatically ia Joel ii. The people now began to sweep them together and bury or bum them in ditches dug for the purpose. But all to little or no effect, and as they grew a little larger the extent of their multitude began to be seen, and the coming catastrophe could not be mistaken. The roads were covered with them, all marching in regular lines, like aruiies'of soldiers, with their lead ers in front, and all the opposition of man to arrest their progress was in vain. “This first consumed the plantations around Ramlcli, Lydda and all the smaller villages near them, and then entering the towns and villages consumed the victuals, &c., in the market and streets, by degrees forcing themselves into the houses and covering the walls outside as well as inside, lt seems that everything which is moistened by their saliva is poisoned, for the cattle that feed on the remnants which are left all die. I myself saw fifty oxen dead in the villages of Delta, Daggon and Zaffarish that had fed on the remnant of durrah (Indian corn) left by the locusts, and the night before last twenty more died from the same cause. ' “About two weeks ago they were seen to a fearful extent all round Jaffa, but still with out wings. The town for several days ap peared forsaken—all shops were shut, ail business suspended. Almost ail the inhabit ants had gone out to destroy and drive away the invading army; they made tremendous ditches, and buried and burned countless myriads, but, as before, all iu vain, for tbe more they destroyed, the more seeffied to arise from hiding-places, and as they grew iu size so they seemed to grow in multitude, and towards the east from here they covered the ground for miles and miles to a height of several inches. As their wings are still too small to enable them to fly and to visit the several hundred gardens within the cultivated part ol the district q 1 Jaffa, they have hi therto confiued their destructions to the outer gardens, ol which about fifty have been completely laid waste, every green leaf, vegetable, tree, and even the bark of young trees, devoured, and these beautiful gardens look like a birch tree forest in winter. , “Our garden Was one of the first attacked. For several days we saw the destructive hoßt advancing ; all our farm servants, as well as hired laliotcrs, were employed*to keep them off, to drive them away, or burry them, but we found them as Joel describes them, chap, ii., ver. 7, ‘They shall not break their ranks.’ Who can doubt the Word of God when we have these evidences before onr eyes? True, our men broke their ranks for a moment; but no sooner had they passed the men than they closed again, iiut.l inarched forward tu rough hedges and ditches, as if united by some mysterious power, causiug them to open belore man and so close again as soon as they had passed him. On the 14th in stant they forced ..their way into the garden, defying all human efforts to prevent them, and in less than a day the whole garden to the exteut of eight acres was covered with them, and the trees, to the number ot three thousand, as well as every other green Ileal, with the exception of the palm trees and the prickly pear hedges, were stripped. “ Whether eating or drinking, reading or writing, or lying awake iu bed, (for it is im possible to sleep,; one hears their noise from without, like the noise of armed hosts or of the running of many waters, and within they keep dropping on or about you. At meals I am kept busy driving them away; while I drive half a dozen away from tue bread, as many 4 will jump into the sugar-basin, or even into my cup of tea, etc., and when undress ing they leap out of our very clothes with out our having known that they were there. “ News has just reached us from Nablous; the olive trees iu those mountains have all been stripped; and near the liver Oudge the soil is so thickly cpvered with these creatures that many of the animals led there to drink refuse to pass on.” # Another letter of a later date says that “They are In nowise decreasing, rallier the opposite. Every native inhabitant lias been ordered by government to bring fifteen pound weight Os locusts daily, and those who do not are fined A1 sterling eack lime.” Beactifui. Sentiment.— The beautiful ex tract below is from the pen of Hon. Geo. 8. Hillard: I confess that increasing years bring with them an increasing respect for men who do uot succeed in life, as those words are com monly used, Ileayen is said to be a place for those wiio have uot succeeded upon earth ( and it is surely true celestial graces do not best thrive and bloom in tlie hot blaze of worldly prosperity. 11l success sometimes arises from a superabundance of (qualities in themselves good—from a conscience t</o sensitive, ft taste tog fastidious, a self-for getfulness too romautic, a modesty too re tiring. I will not go so far as to say, with a living poet, that “the world knows nothing of its greatest men," but there are forms of irreatness, or at least excellence, whioli “die aud make no sign there are martyrs that miss the palm but not the stake ; heroes witbeut the laurel, and conquerors without the triumph. Sensation liEPOim it.ij.m the South.— A letter written by a close observer ftom Nash ville •• A great deal of the exciting news transmitted over the country about the vio lent and factious opposition to the State Go vernment, is purely sensational. A portion of these Reports gre np doubt got off' by disappointed office seekers and baffled cotton speculators. The contradictory re ports of loyalty and disloyalty, trouble and quietness which come to us from North Caro lina, arc accounted fpr by the fact that there are two loyal rafiical- papers at Italeigh, pae conducted' by the ins and the other by the outs. ■ Browni.ow's Knoxville Whig contains the address of Hon. J 1 (trace Afaypavd, the Union Kepublieau candidate in that Congressional Disti ict of East Tennessee, who has been elected by an overwhelming majority. The concluding sentences of the address are as follows: “It is supposed by some that I am in fa vor ot negro suffrage. This is not true. At the Nashyillc Convention of January last the subject was brought up. 1 have not since changed my views. 1 was opposed to ji then--I am opposed to it iidw.” ’ ' George N.
