A CASI, FOR CONSIDERATION. - Hmn
A. Middleton, Esq., ot' South Carol
na. owned about sixty acres <>f land i
Newport, on Bellevue Avenue, ne;
the Oeean House,, extending East :
far as the land ol' Delaney Kan", Es<
Mr. Middleton was a s'^cessionist-a
original Calhoun secessionist*-an
when the rebellion broke out he e:
tered into it with his whole soul, tv,
of his sons entering the rebel ann.
As a precautionary measure toprav?i
its confiscation, he transferred his pr
perty in this city, valued at ne
$300,000, to another, and remain?
South during the wer, joining his in
tunes with those ot' thc rebellion. 1
lost heavily at the South; and sin
the c )llapse/)f the rebellion, has i
turned North, resumed possession
his property, and is now, we nnd<
* stand, making arrangements to ?I
pose ol' it. AVe are credibly inform
that Mr. Middleton is still a rebel
his views; 'he insists upon it that t
South is not conquered, and makes
his boast that they will have slave
back yet. It is one of the myst erl
of the late Avar that Mr. Middleton
property has escaped confiscath
Two or three years ago, when Senat

The f?Bowing q^pntly Cold passage 1
of personal histo^oxtraoted from thc
"Lives of the Lor/1 Chancellors of
England," has a moral adapted to
these times;
"The Lord Keeper, the Marquis of
"Winchester,"hoing in his 97th year,
and about to die. was asked 'Low lie
did bear np in these dangerous times,
wherein great alterations -were made,
both in Chorcfi and State?1 he return?
ed the noted answer-'By being rf
Willow and not an oak.' "
.This pithy ?answer contains much
worldly wisdom, and may bo turned to
advantage in these troublous? times.
Tho facile ul,'rim ss with which the
crafty, time-serving courtier changes
his opinions und principles to aoooui
! plish his selfish purposes, is greatly
repugnant to the mind impressed
with strong med cattiest convictions.
This is si leer profligacy, and is alto
.latherdifferent from that calm wisdom
whicli instruis us to avoid what wo
cannot encounter without injury, ami
I to sacrifice what we eau no longer rO
I tain without the loss of other interests
j of greater value. He who lias seen
great oaks," the, growth of centuries,
j snapped like twiggs and.swept away
before thc resistless tornado* while the
i delicate osier remained freyi, gwen
and uninjured, can appreciate tho
significance and aptness of tho ?dd
nobleman's figure.
t??As tho oak that nial ches its strength
; against the storm will inev itably fall,
iso the man who opposes his single
will, however strong ids single tr.ni
! rage, however daring/to the collect ive
[ force of a mighty multitude sweeping
on to its appointed destiny, will surely
be cruslred. But the oak cannot bend,
? the willow'cannot stiften i'?.? If. j\fem.
I endowed with varied-capabilities, can,
if ho will, accommodate himself to
the pressure of circumstances. Lu
this he may learn useful lessons, evou
from the inferior animals, who exor?
cise the instincts and powers with
winch nature hus endowed them.
Naturalists tell us of a fish which
eludes pnrsr.it by darkening the water
with a fluid which it goner, te ; and
ejects. Wc have all heard of that in?
offensive animal, the arm idilla, winch,
when attacked, rods itself into a ball,
thus presenting to its assailant a sur
*4'.t.-e of impenetrable armor. Every
child has ve.ul of the porcupine, which,
concealing its vulnerable parts, .hirts
its pointed quills against tho enemy.
( ?Ur own observation lias taught ns
that on the approach of storms many
beasts seek places of safocy, nu.1 timi
fowls retir ' to tlioir roosts. A univer?
sal instinct teaches these creatures to
shun dangers that they cannot resist,
i Man not only possesses im linet, but
: is gifted with reason- -and shall ho
act with less discretion than brutish
j beast--.? To adapt ourselves to sur
. rounding circumstances is not only a
mark of good* sense, but1 it is a high
j duty.
Tue varyingcircumstances in which
inen are placed ;;ve as tho varying
' countries through which the traveler
. liasses. He must c ?nform himself to
.these changing circumstances as the
traveler conforms his apparel and his
habits jfcid manners tc thc climate nd
to the cast-?ms of the various corthtnes
through which he liasses. We read
that in Greenland, one dav and one
; night make up the year, ea h being ot'
the duration of six months. It is also
saiil that- tiie inhabitants live chiefly
upon tho blubber of the whale, and
? upon lish oil. Now, tiie sojourner in
j Greenland would fare badly who
! should refuse to sleep in thc day time
i and to eat the blubber and drink the
oil when there was^ftolhiug else to ea!
und drink. In. Australia, culled by
Sidney Smith "that hind of kanga

I winter apparel for tho unsatisfactory
Reason thajfhc has been accustomed in
'his country to wear it in December,
: January and Fehrnary, would be prct
j ty certain to contract a pleurisy.
I * The moral of these simple illustra?
tions is obviou and the application
I easy. lu the providence of God, tiie
condition, circumstances and rel .lions
of tho-Sinthern people have been en?
tirely changed. The situai iou in
which they are now placed is novel
and full of difficulties. By an unrea?
soning obstinacy they may make that
situation too grievous to be horne.
On the other hamley patience, tract?
ability and compMRnee, they may
lighten their present burdens and ul?
timately procure a release from the

Sortie time in the beginning of this
m?nti? the Chief of Police received a
letter from a mun named Geherett,
residing in ITtmtingtp'n County, Penn?
sylvania, enclosing printed circulars
in relation to ^terrill's Washing Com
pound. Geherett stated that he had ?
been in the. anny ?br thc last four
years, and that he vas so reduced in
health he was unable to make his
living, except by ligli^ work. He then
went on to stale that the circular.was
sent io him enclosed in a letter, pur?
porting to be written in this city, and
s gned R. O'Neill, whose address was
"Box 142, Brooklyn, New York."
O'Neill stated himself tobe the agent
of the Merrill Company, and that he
was authorized to sell to al] persons
who'were disposed ti buy family *or
county rights in the washing powders*
of the county. The letter then stated
tluwpi'ices of the family and county
rignts, and those who purchased coun?
ty rights could sell the powders in the
county hut not oat of it, and that
four dollars was the price ol' t he corni?
ly right. Geherett "thinking it would
he a light and profitable business, sert
lille :'<>ur dollar1-, with, dic?etiims to
send him a list of the clements used in
making np thc washing powders, that
he might commence operations at once,
lint that was the las! he heard of Mr.
O'Neill or the washing powders. Lie
there Torc cam ? to lac conclusa n, and
rightly too, that he was sold, and sent
to the Chief tho iett." s and circulars,
as before stated, advising him to keep
a lookout at the lirooklyn postoflice
and try to detect thc swindler. Up? n
reailieg ( ? eh ere lt's comm un ic; dh in and
the circular, tie-Chief recollected see?
ing au advei tisement signed "lt.

ladies an I gentlemen, lo any part of
the United Sliii.es, thc pilot? graphs ?d'
their future husband.1; or wives, by
enclosing the advert!cr twenty-five
?.ents and a postaere stamp. The Chief
rightly judged thal Mr. O'Neill was
the person playing a bohigame, acting
as agent for Merrill & Co., and pro?
curing husbands und wives for Ameri?
can youngsters. So he detai'ed oil! -cr
Frost, of the lirooklyn detective
force, to watch the postoflice. This
morning the officer caught O'Neill in
the act of reoiviug -his letters, brought
him inti* the Chief's ellice, ard upon
being searched, three letters reoeived
from three femal's with thc necessary
remittance w< re found upon 1 im; one
was from Miss 13 . of liloomiugton.

in Koeiiestor, and ;he third from a
young Miss M-. some part of Penn

writer's h..ir. end describing her

about sixteen or seventeen years of
age, exceedingly intelligent sind weil

Ci li?'f's ol lice that the idea was first
suggested to him by reading similar

thai he had as good a right to turn au

The radicals are hard folks to please.
Iveeently a son of George P. Prentice,
who had ser ved iu the r. bel army, to? <k
the oath of allegiance and was installed
as local editor ol' the Louisville Jnur
:<??'. whereupon the radicals waxed
indignant at v.hat they' termed his
effrontery. Subs 'queully young Pren?
tice proposed to Governor Bramlotto
to lead 100 rep 'utant rebels like him?
self, and dear Kentucky of guerillas,
and the radicals ?orthwith .him
of insincerity, on the gr.mud tlnft, if
he truly believed the cause of th?>
Lite Cain fed? 'racy to be right, he would
not engage in tho business of hunting
guerillas1. Under ordinary circum?
stances, there might be something
amusing in this obstinacy, but at the
prevent timi: it is simply disgraceful,
it is all right enough to ask Southern
men to discard their fei lings of animo?
sity toward, tiie Union, but when they
not only do this, but-offer to prove by
deeds th?1 sincerity of their conversion,
it is ail wrong to carp them.
