If you purchase of your merchant, and do not find the article as represented, you have your redraw. But with peddlers this is not so; besides, they are , not ^infrequently robbers in disguise. It is far better to have no dealings with them. Their wares and goods, though seemingly cheap, are not what they are represented to be, and they arc tho dearest you can buy. It Is best to Idt thera go tfteir way. Besides, thoae who dwell in your midst and share with you the burdens of your city or town should receive your patronage. » s > There are some peculiarities connected with the discipline of erring clergymen that the ordinary "lay" mind is occasionally puzzled over. For instance, here is Rev. Shepherd Cowley, oonvicted of starving children, and serving out therefor a twelve months' Sentence in the penitentiary. And yetecclesisstical proceedings cannot, In the opinion of Rev. Morgan Dix, be commenced against him while be is confined, us lie is unable to respond to s summons to appear. He therefore remains, ecclesiastically, a clergyman in good standing, though he wears the stripes of s eodviot, and Is almost universally believed to bo justly condemned.

We know a little boy, In another state, by the name of Charlie, and die is happy. The first thing in the morning he crosses the street to the jeweler's, borrows his dog Jip,and comes leading him triumphantly, over home by a string tied about his neck. Then the menagerie commences, and as they go upon the principle that "a turn about is fair play," sometimes Oharlie is the hero and sometimes Jip. The performance continues till late bed time, the arena being bounded by the four walls and ceiling of the sitting-room. The programme is occasionally varied by the contact of Tabby and Jip in close contest for the possession of the premise*, in which J ' ISIHU1 IB gl'lll'l ail V f iuiw U.^ .u...

PENSIONS. The recommendation of Commissioner of Pension* Bentley that Congress shall pas* a bill to restrain pensioners from recklessly squandering the money which the)' receive from the Government,!* An I excellent one, and it merits the favorable fc i*««..x . . »%. —*« iu . first glance that this is a subject with which Congress has nothing w\ itever to do, and that it has no more busi..jss to soy how or in what manner, the pensioners shall spend their money than it has to say as much with regard to the various salnried employes of the Government. It must be born in niind, however, that the pensioners are not employes, And that they do not come anywhere near standing in tho same relation* with the Government that its employes do. A pension, to put the thing in plain language, is nothing more or less than a charity, and the Government has a distinct right, in law and morals, to se-„ that its charitable dispensations shall not be recklessly wasted by those who wo in receipt .of Ahem. A pension is granted usually on account of wound* and disabilities received in the military or naval sendee. It is an assistance to u man who haii been deprived of his frill opportunities for making a comfortable living, or to the family of such a inau, and the ]>en*ioner who celebrates J he receipt of his allowance from the pension fund by going off on a big drunk thereby demonstrates, as plain as can be, either that he is not a proper subject for the Oovernmont to dispense its bounty upon, or that he is so incapable of taking proper care of himself that some restraints ought to be thrown around him. — tcv.roraptv. INTERNATIONAL STUDY. — wOnnof the grandest peq|eot* of modern times is the system for the simultaneous study of definite portions of the Holy Scriptures, which has come into practice within a few years past. By means of it, milliona of people* young and old, in various countries of the world, are brought into a common line of thotifht and feeling every 8undsy, and to some extent during other days of tho week. It Is alwsy* interesting to know just

Ho 4pm phasing is It tor the boys sad girl* of Eugland, Scotland and Ireland to reflect that their English-speaking cousins in Australia, India and South Africa are each first day of the week occupied with the lessons and good thoughts that Sunday brings to them. It ha* sometime* been boasted that the Bun never goes down on the drumbeat of British soldiers. Under the same figure it may be more truly said that the Sabbath sun is always rising upon the study of the international lessona, for not only do English and American youth give attention to them, but also, though in smaller proportions, those of many other countries in Europe, Asia and the the islands of the oceeu. But the pleasure derivable from these thoughts "is ef lea* value than the premise of mental and moral good to those embraced in this vast circle of through them.— goldbk Day*. A THOUGHTLESS BOY PUNISHED. 8. B. Prll. "I shall never forget, M remarked a friend of ours once, "an incident of my childhood, by which 1 was taught to b «• careful not to wound the feelings of th« unfortunate. A number of i u school children were playing by the roadside, on© Saturday afternoon, when the stagecoach drove up to a neighboring tavern, and tb© passengers alighted. As usual, we gathered around to observe them. Among the number was an elderly man, with a cane, who got out with much difficulty, and, when on the ground, he walked with the most curious contortion*. Hi* feet turned one way, hi* knees another, and his whole body looked as though the different members were independent of each other, and every one was making motion* to suit itself. "I unthinkingly shouted, 'Look at old Rattlebones 1' while the poor man turned his head, with on expression of pain which I can never forget. Just then, to my surprise and extreme horror, my father came around the corner, and, immediately stepping up to the stranger, jiliQok^Ju* hand.

THOUGHTLESSNESS. In general, I have no patience with people who talk about the "thoughtlessness of youth," indulgently. I had itiflwiiot*TFT ■Villi ' W hen a man ha* done his work and nothing can in any way bo materially altered in his fate, let him forget his toil and jest with his fate, if he will, but what excuse can you find for willfulness of thought, at the very time when every crisis of future fortune hangs on your decisions? A youth thoughtles* 1 when the career of all his days de]»end8 on the ' opportunity of a moment ! A youth thoughtless ! when all the happiness of hi* home forever depends on the chance*, or the passion* of an hour !

PHILADELPHIA LETTER. i ■ ■ Mr. Editor : — The happy coincidence of pleasant spring iveether and EasUrj Week i* a fact worthy of the thankfrd heart which follows— or should follow —all rare endowments of Providence — for surely ft is an unusually good fortune which the Indies- now ety'oy, in being permitted, at this early season, to air their new indors of appropriate warmth, symbolical of the flowers which array themselves in purple and white through the meadows. And the throng of pedestrians, among whom many unfamiliar (sees are visible, testifies to the full appreciation of the opportunity thus afforded them. The place* of amusement, too, come in for a share of the holiday perquisites, and the "Pirates of Penzance" the English Opera Company, j and the exquisite instrumental per- | formanoe* on Thursday afternoon* at t the Academy of Fine Arte, have re- ! oeived during the lost week a very large attendance. On Saturday afternoon the Emma Abbott Opera Company rendered, xo n par* pci nottse, anse'fl ciiartn ia»g opara of "Paul and Virginia," and if, in the construction of the orchestral harmony of the composition there are very marked defcienctes, the opportunities afforded, and so well improved by the prima donna, for parsionat* i dramatic music, amply compensate for j the shortcomings of the composer and, i in spite of all bias, win the admiration of the audience at onoe. The old familiar French story is some- * ' ' hunged, for the soke of dramatic affect, but tlie pure and happy, while yet undiscovered, affection of the two gifted you tig people, who, reared under the benign infiuenoes of a peaceful tropical island, remain— even to maturity — t-% 5 — - » - a VI! - -• a* - r •» - •* ^ Mi* i j*— Of ~ | at ion upon mind and nbdy, the power ; of the imagination to annihilate sjmce •nd call up entrancing visions of the absent one, and the final reunion when alas ! too late, one lies in the anus of ! the other, but a corpee cast up by tlie carnal waves : — all these strong life pictures are impersonated in the opera with charming effect.
