0 day at a mess when ths decanter hm*
•e formed sundry strange aid novel pe rant hi
itions on the faille, Captain ti., a brave and at
•om .lished officer, and a great wag, remarks
o tiie doctor whoiiad been very severe in hi

“D r . M., are you acquainted with Captaii

f* - nothing in parflcul tr,’’ returned Captain S.
have just received a letter from hi , and I';
> ager you a dozen bottles of old port tha
ou can’t guess in six guesses how he spell

‘‘Done,’’ said the r octor, 4, i’s a wager.”
‘■Well, commence guessing,”said Capt. S.
“K, a, double i.” “No.’’ K, a, t, e.” “No
tr} - it again.’’ “C‘a, double t, e.” “No; you’ve
nissed it again.” “Well, then,’* returned ti t
Joctor. “C, a. double t.” “No, that’s not ti t
vay ; try again—it’s your last time.”
“K, a. g, h, t.” “No, that’s nut the way ;
you’ve lost the wage!.”
“Well,” said the Doctor, with much petu
lence of manner “how does he spell it?’’
“Why, he spells it c, a, t,’’ replied S with
the utmost gravity, amid the roars of the
mess.
Almost choking with rage, the doctor sprang
to his feet, exclaiming—“ Captain 8., I am
too old a man to bo trifled wjth in this
manner.’’
Cost of Preaching.—Home people talk a great
deal about ministers, and the cost of keeping
them ; paying their house rent, table expenses,
and other items of salary. Did such persons
ever think that it costs thirty-five millions of
dollars to pay the sala lies of American lawyers;
that twelve millions of dollars are paid out an
nually to keep our criminals, and millions to
keep the dogs in the midst of us alive ; while
only six millions of dollars are spent annually
to sustain six thousand ministers in the United
States ? These are facts, and statistics will
show them to be facts. No one thing exerts
such a mighty influence in keeping this mighty
reputdic from falling to pieces, ns the Bible and
its ministers.— Westemn Christian Advocate.
Unsuccessful men. —l confess tiiat increasing
years bring with them an increasing respect for
men who do not succeed in life, as those words
are commonly used. Heaven has been said to
be a place for those who have not succeeded on
earth ; and it is surely true that celestial graces
do not best thrive and bloom in the hot blazo of
wordly prosperity. 11l success sometimes ari
ses from a superabundance of qualities in them
solves good—from a conscience too sensitive,
a face too fastidious, a self forgetfulness too
romantic, a modesty too retiring. I will not go
so far as to say, with a living poet, that “the
world knows not its greatest men,’’ but there

Presented with a Baby. —A Cincinnati paper
says:
On Saturday last, while the train of .cars was
at Cleveland depot heading for Columbus, a
lady bearing an infant in her arms,-(apparently
five or six weeks old) entered one of the passen
ger cars, and going to a young lady of some
1G nr 18 years, very politely inquired if she
would do her the favor to hold her babe until
she could step out and see to the disposal of her
baggage. The young lady generously com
plied, and received the infant in her aims. Tiie
mother left the ca-s, and lias not been seen or
hea'd of since. The poong lady also fell heir
to the carpet sack which had been placed under
her charge by the inhuman mother; in which
which was found a note containing a request
that the child should he treated with kindness,
in which case it might become a distinguished
man. Several offers to take the child were
made to ihe young Lady, hut she refused to give
it to any hut its lawful and natural mother. She
preferred keeping it herself, influenced, perhaps
by a desire to have a child ol her own, whether
she ever had a husband or not.

His observations, even upon topics which one
would suppose possessed but little interest for

when speaking on the subject with an English
man he shows some diffidence in pronouncing
an opinion, and generally throws his remarks
into an interrogatory form. Regarding her
foreign relations, he, as might he expected,
speaks with more boldness, and expresses his

The Compensation to Postmasters.
The Minins Register has an abfo and interesting arti
cle on the subject indicated by th- caution of this article.
It is a subject in which every class of citizens is directly
and vitally interested. The Postmasters come mare di
rectly in contact with the people than any class of Gov
ernment appointees, and the importance of having faith
ful and competent incn to fiil ths-e offices, is felt and ac
knowledged by all. That the present rate of compensa
t on is inadequate remuneration tor tiie labor and respon
sibility involved, must be apparent to even the least ob
servant.
The act of IS 45 made important changes in the post
age and mail service of the country. One of those chan
ges was a reduction of postage, which increased very
considerably tiie amount ol busim ss ; another eons sted
in directing all mail service to be let to the lowest bidder
irrespective of the mode of Conveyance. This single
regulation, we are told, reduced the contracts of 18-15 in
New Kngland and New York, the first section let under
that law, more than $'250,000. Another provision oi
the same year, was that requiring a clarification of tiie
service, and fixing the maximum prite of those class* s.
The effect of these laws wag, aside from greatly dim i
- the price of mail transportations to aid in bring ng
speedily the expenses ot the service with n the iueein ■
derived from the reduced postage. Hence we find the
gross revenue for the year ending June 30. ]B-I'J,
amounted to $-4.005.176, while the expenditures fertile
same lime wu-e #4,470,040 leaving an excess of $126,-
127,
Hut the obnoxious portion of the present law, against
the oppressive f gture of which over twenty thousand
inteli gent American Fostmostmasters protest* is found
in the fact, tlint while it reduced the rates of postage,
the labors of nil the offices have been vastly increased,
whi h their pay has been greatly dimiifsbed. This is a
gloss wrong, the perpetrati nos which mav have esca
ped tlieobs. rvation of the members of C< iff-iess, in ’.lie
passage of the bill ; and jus iee to the Postmaster*, at and
a proper regard ‘fir the dignity and demands oi labor,
r* quire prompt mod fixation.
‘lhe rat*s of commissions allowed to Postmasters on
receipts are :
50 per cent on the first SIOO
40 “ “ next 300
35 “ “ “ 2,000
15 “ “ all over 2,4^0
Under these rates, we are told in the able and elabo
rate report of Postmaster General Campbell there were
on llie first of December last, 22.68S Postmasters em
ployed ; and what, dear reader, do you think was paid to
this little army ol public slaves, during the ye;tr, to de .
fray the expense of living office rent and clerk hire ?
The report tells us the compensation to Postmasters was
$1,821,000 ; averaging but a fraction of SSO to each p> r
annum ! Why the bone gatherers in ihe streets o New
York realize more than this 1 Even the common so'dier
in these “piping limes’’ of peace, with nothing to do but
eat the pork and beans furnished him by government* 1 ,
gets at least his $96 in hard cash annually.
The amount of service performed for which there is
no compensation, is very considerable. From a report
of the Washington City Post office for the year ending
June 30 1849, the number of free w ritten mail mal to
sent and received through the office was 1.303 503 ;
and the number of speeches and documents, 4,016,595.
The ptw'age to which that matter would have been sub
ject, it not franked, ia computed hy that report at $792,-
706. During the same year there were 2,1000,00 let
ters returned to the dead leiter office, involving a heavy
and unproductive expend turc.
The present is a period noted for remnrable high prices
of living; scarcely exceeded by the fn< qiarable times if
1816’and 1836; labor, rents, and all kinds of produce
have advanced very steadilv and materially in price.—
CongrtsuTV n complain at $8 per day ; the clerks In the
department at Washington can scarcely subsist at from
$1,500 to $2,000 per year ; and the mechanic struggles
hard to make “both ends meet” at $1 50 to $2 per day.
What think honorable members of Congress is the eon
dition of 22,688 Post Masters of the country, whose ag
gregate compensation is but $ 1,821.002, or about an aver
age of eighty dollars each per year 7 ILopv are they to
support themselves and faniil ee, and to pay their office
rent and clerk li re ? llow long can an honest and com
petent “usiness men consent to be under ihe rmploy of a
government that rewards their services so poorly.
Money Crisis in Charleston. — The Charleston Stan
dard of Saturday says ;
Charleston is experiencing at present the pressure of
a severe pecuniary crisis. The Kinks complain that
they are forced to a couse of exceeding stringency, and
individual enterprise is much affected. The Banks are
generally blamed. It is thought that they have sent
too much of their capital to distant sections, to meet the
want* of the home community ; and it is cliarged that
they are pursuing a career of selfish speculation, with
no regard to the obligations implied in their “charters
from the legislature of thi* Suite. Thia may be true ;
but we doubt, however, whether, in the nature of things,
this very pressure was not inevitable. That the com
munity has been much extended for some time past,
and that this extension would lead to a crisis in ihe
end, has been known to all. A d*f.c*ney in tie
amount of money, to have been expect* and from the cot
ton crop, has brought the crisis n**w which was surely
coming, and wed'*ubt whtther it would have been pru
-4* nt in the Banka to bate mr.de the sacrifice* necessa
ry to avert it.

’ ‘lowing pithy article on tire same subject. It ia from the

In advancing as a pretext for intervention in the affairs
if lut key, ti e vis.onary political nee<saitv termed tiie
“nalance ol power,” the European goveinineiiis only
seek to eloak their real objeets. There is no such thing
is the *‘b .lance of |>oWer it is a nonentity, a snail- and
. deiusiou —in convertible term lor the “monopoly
of power.” It is, in o her words, nurely an att> nipt to
impart the coloring ol international law and moral light
ol an effort to r, press the s rugghs of a great original
principle, u h ell is min rent in the nature of man, and
which is ever bearing him forward iu the march of im

governineiiis of Eug'and mid Fiance ;b a jus

Ile.-p4.t sm of Ppain, iu d.tiance ot the policy and interests
of tins country, is of a precisely similar character to the
attempt to prevent the rt flow of Greek Christianity into
tlte old seals of civilization. If the government at Wash

iu this Cuban question, and take their stand upon
hi*h and national principles, we shall have noth

mouths lead to popular explosions in both these countrns
and scatter to the winds the political schemes by which
they hope to give duration to their alliance. ‘ Where
would then be ihe balance of power, or even the power
to balance t NO4 the true policy of the E iropeun govei 11-
