Pious Impulses in a SquaU. By a squall in Delaware Bay last week, while sailing in a yatch, two young men were overtaken.? At Nazareth church, on Twelfth street, Philadelphia, at public worship they had occasionally been present. From the way things looked, the capsizing of their shallop was very nearly in evitabie. 11 Bill," said one to the other, u this is serious business ; can you pray ?" u No, I can't; I've heard Joe Quinn do it, and I've listened to Bill Po6t; but I can't do it myself." " Well, you can sing a hymn, can't you ? For God's sake do something." " No, I can't eing here. How can I sing when this boat at any moment may drown us both ?" " Well, we must do something religious. If yon can't sing, let's take up a collection." To this Bill consented.

A Mississippi Bivor Story. A c< uple of flat-boat men on the Mississippi river having made an extraordinarily good speculation concluded that while they were in New Orleans they would go for a real first class-hotel dinner at the St. Charles hotel.? Having eaten their meal, they called tor their bill. Tho waiter in attendance misunderstood them, and, supposing that they wanted the bill of fare, laid it before them, with the wine list upermost. "Whew, Bill 1" said Jerry, " here's a bill 1 Just look at it 1 Ilere, you add up one side and I'll add up the other, and we'll see what the old thing comes to." So Bill added up tho prices of the wines on one side of the list and Jerry added them up on the other, and they made the snm total $584. " Wh ew, Bill ! said Jerry, " that's pretty nigh all we've got! What aro we goin' to do about it?" " We can't pay that," said Bill, " it 'nd clean us right out. The waiter ain't here now, let's jump out o' the window and put?" " No, sir-ee," said Jerry, " Id never do such a mean thing as that. Let's pay the bill and then go down stairs and shoot the landlord." " Weix, Doctor," said a chap suffering with the Tooth-ache, " how much do yon ax for the job ?" Guy 1 but you do it quick, though 1" ' " My terms," replied the dentist, "are $1." " A $1 for half a minute's work 1 One dollar ?thunder! Why, a doctor down t'our place drewed a tooth for me, 2 years ago, and it took him 2 hours He dragged me all around the room, and lost his grip ? dozen times. I never seed such hard work?and he charged me only 25 cents. Better take you up, thongh, I reckon. Now, wade in." A little girl was standing at a depot to see her father and a gentleman triend on, when she observed to ber father, referring to bis friend, who was tall and lank, "If the cars run off the track, and any legs must be broken, I hope they'll be Mr. H?'s." 44 What's that for ?" said the startled II?. 44 Because," she added, artlessly, " Aunt May says you havo a pair of spare legs."

The Presidential Xleetion and its Probabilities. I No one can fail to be deeply concerned in the reenlt ot the present contest, on which depends the character of the Government, and theretore the welfare and liberties ot all the people for the next four years. There can, of conrse, be no certainty until the votes are counted and declared. As a matter of interest, I however, wo present the following estimate made by tho Cincinnati Eoaaminer : SURE FOB OREKLET. ) SURE FOR GRANT Alabama 10 I Iowa 11 Delaware 8 [ Kan Has 6 Florida 4 Maine S I Georgia. 11 Massachusetts .. .18 Kentucky 12 Michigan 11 New York S5 Mi.'eia<ippi 8 Maryland 8 South Carolina.. 7 Missouri........15 Vermont 6 Tennessee. 12 ?

Arkansas. 6 California A Connecticut A Illinois 21 Indiana 15 Louisiana 8 Nevada 3 Oregon. ....... 3 New Hampshire. 5 Rhode Island.... 4 New Jersey 9 ? ? 42 44 The following may be considered too donbtful for classification under either of the above bead-* ings: VERY UNCERTAIN. Minnesota. 6 | Ohio 32 Nebraska 8 Pennsylvania... .29 North Carol'.oa. .10 I Wisoonsio 10 19 RECAPITULATION. Greeley. Grant Sure 134 68 Probable 44 42 178 110 Very uncertain 79; neceiiary to a choice 184It will be seen that with the "sure" and "probable," Greeley would lack six votes of being elected, while Grant would lack seventy-tour, which would require nearly all the "very uncertain" to elect him. It is possible that some of the States which are put down as more likely to go for Greeley than Grant, may go for the latter, as it is also possible that some of the States which are pnt down as more likely to go tor Grant than Greeley, may go for the Liberal candidate. But whoever weioha clctol? - r>-? .MVP probabilities, moat become satisfied that whatever changes may be likely to occur under that classification, the footings of the two columns will not be materially changed, though the chances certainly favor Mr. Greeley. In other words, whatever chances may occur under the second classification, they are more like to swell the vote for Greeley than that of Grant. Finally, look at the list classed "Very Uncertain," and it must be acknowledged that it is very difficult to determine, at this time, how tbey will go. The chancos for carrying every one of them is just as good for Greeley as for Grant, and probabilities that Greeley may secure enough of them to elect him are far stronger than they are that Grant wiU secure enough of them to elect him, as Grant would require nearly all to do him any good, while Greeley would need but very few. A review of the whole situation impresses the conviction that Mr. Greeley will be the next President.

I Wilmington Journal. GkanV Organ on the Loutbvillk Failure.?The New York Times, of Thursday, says : u Mr. O'Connor's positive re fusal to be the candidate of the Louisville Convention has seriously modified the probable active influence of the movement on the Presidental canvass. Had he accepted, and, with Mr. Adams, been represented in each State by an electoral ticket, he might have drawn a considerable 4 straightout ticket' vote. Bnt it is not likely that any one el6e who can be selected will do so. It is very difficult to organize a minority, every member of which knows the minority is a hopeless one for a national contest. To this task, rvru.,??.. I 1?* ?? xu.i v wuiiui ?uuiu unvc iciiv vuo assistance of a national reputa tion, and, had he taken an active part in the canvass, of brilliant | and original abilities. These are j not likely to be regarded as having come to an end." Mr. Tomlinson's Character.? The Nation, a paper of the highest character, thus speaks of Mr. Toml neon. The opinion of the editor is based upon a long personal acquaintance : There is, indeed, no State in which Mr. Tomlinsou would not be a useful citizen, so far as integrity, ability and honesty go to make a citizen useful, and in him, could he be elected, South Carolina would have, flsr the first time since the war, a creditable Governor, sagacious and honorable. We do not know that he has any chance of election. But it is certain that he ought to get the vote of all South Carolinians who have spoken a word of detestation against the true carpet-bagger, while at the same time expressing a willingness to welcome houest'Northerners into the State." Ciias. O'Connob, in a long letter to the Straight-out Democratic Convention, which met in Louisville last Tuesday, says : " Love of that absolute inde pendence which can hardly be maintained in public office; a desire fo promote your success instead ot impeding it, and a belief that I can thus best perform the individual citizen's quota of pub lie service, have created in my mind an unalterable resolve to re main in private station." Judge Forsyth, implicated in the fraudulent issue of bonds in Cass Connty, Mo., some months | ago, and since arrested in Kansas Uity, was lately taken in irons to Harrisonvillo, in that State.

Previous to u4 during the assembling of 1 the delegate#, the Second Regiment National Bead of Philadelphia played various airs.. Abont 1 o'clock, Col. Blaaton Dnncaa celled . the Coaventloa to order. Rev. Dr. Plait ad1 dressed the Throne of Qreoa la a prayer for l concord end peace, and freedom from eeotion> el jealousies throughout the land. Ool. Duncan then spake as Ibllows t I OtMitmm tf tkt CumtMiom t It is my duty . to call this assemblage to order. Its objeets are well known and require no explanations. We have been derisive!/ characterised as bolters, mercenaries, etc., bj editors and polltl* elans wbo have sought an alliance with a faction of the Radical part/, and wbo have abandoned all prinoiplea which have hitherto characterised our organisation. It is not my pro* vinoe to oast redaction upon the motives of those leaders, in wboee wisdom and judgment the part/ unfortunately confided. Their notion is invalid and void. It has no binding eficot upon other individual members of the party, and it bas already been repudiated by hundreds of thousands. No spirit of presumption or forwardness induoed the gentle men who noted with me'to appeal to American Democrat* against the flagrant violation of party faith and utter negation ot principles involved in the nomination of Mr. Qreeley.? We did it with a higher and nobler motive^? we did it to vindicate truth and to protest against the offered reward for political treason to one who had oecupied a life-time in the bit* terest animadversion upon those whose support he now has sought. If our call had been a failure, our duty would have been none the less performed, but there |was a sympathetic obord in the American heart, whioh responded in enthusiastic tones to the musician's touch. There is a love for honesty, a veneration for principle, a deep rooted desire for reform in the hearts of the American people, and the assemblage that I see before me to-day evinoes an earnest intention to uphold that banner whioh has fallen from nerveless and incompe* tent hands, and to prove that the old organic ation ia not dead, but only sleeping. (Applause.) It has not died of its corruption, as the latter day saints pr<>claim, who are so eager for its destruction. It will not hold out hopes Of reward for Bart* traunn. nm lirih" to secure generals from the enemy's camp.? (Applause.) The eyes of the whole commuinity are directed to this Convention, and many anxious hopes are to he verified or blasted, according as wisdom or its negation shall be the controlling spirit of our deliberations. We can make this body a famous one in history > as the souroe from which the future policy and destiny of the country is to be shaped.? We can make it equally insignificant aud destitute of influence. Wo want no bydra-hcaded platform, which oan be construed accord ing to th? wishes of the reader, for we hare clear and undoubted theories, whieh have bat one interpretation, whether expounded in the North or in the South. We can bare no in* tent to re*open the questions of the past, which the sword has so bloodily decided.? (Great applause.) We will give no encour* agement to aught that looks towards revolu* Hon, nor can we, whilst submitting to the in* evitable, and powerless to rererse what has been accomplished, satisfy ourselves by the commendation of acta performed in riolation of the Constitution. (Great applause.) We must seek our alliance upon princ pie. We must, if we can, impress upon the minds of the laboring classes, who constitute the vast majority of our population, the fall convic* lion of our honesty and our sincerity in be half of measures tending to benefit them. We should prove oar friendship by actions whi-g may appease confliots between capital and la* bor, through wise compromises, acceptable to both ; and whilst capital has rights which we should seek not to infringe, labor is entitled to earnest consideration, for it is the parent of wealth. It is the bone and sinew of the land. (Great applause.) It is laborious work to at* tempt the reorganisation of a party and to create its necessary machinery. For two I months every thought of my brain has been monopolised, every energy of my mind and body directed to the accomplishment of that object. The sincerity of my motive should avert critioism, and if there have been errors of omission or oommission, they should be OTerlnAlfAtl. frv* ? 1 r .? %mv v? uaJ HUllUQ QBI been the intent to do right, nod aid in the preservation of the partj and the perpetuation of iu principles, as the sole hope for the future of oar ooantrjr. (Groat applause.)? And now, gentlemen, weary as I am in pind and body, there is en absolute sensation of relief that I ean terminate my self-imposed duties and abdicate my functiens. (Great ap* plause.) At the close of bis speech, Col. Duncan nominated Levi S. Chatfiold, of New York, as temporary chairman. Cheers followed. Three j cheers were also given for Danoao. Cbatfield was unanimously chosen. Bpaulding, of New York, Lyons, ol Virgin* la, aod Wheatco, of Michigan, were appoint' ed a committee to conduct Cbatfield to the chair.

Mr. Lyons, of Virginia, when conducted to the chair, ridiculed the Greeley party as a Dolly Varden party. A committee on resolutions was ap? pointed.
