That "times are hard" I must confess, And mine's a woeful tale, I fool completely corner'd now, And cortainly must fail. I'm down on all the merchants' books, They're down on tue with duns, I could, indeed pay all my debts Provided I'm in funds. Just now I have no cash on hand; But pocket room "to lot." My credits' gone, and just because I'ni never out of debt. I did have cotton once to sell, But if I'm not mistaken, llad every bale already pledged To pay for corn and Bacon . But when I found the price was low, And "both ends could not moot," I got a friend to sell a load To carry out the cheat. 'Twas thus f got beyond the roach Of law or liens tried, And saved "a dine for a rainy day," And then felt sutistiod. The merchant does complain 'tis true, But 'tis no use to cry, t~ They could not get a dime from me, However hard they-try. I gave my note and promised too, "Hureas I live," I'll pay; The promiso 'one, the not. on hand, "He must be dead," they say. As "times are hard" I'll liquidate, Tho thing can't be denied Bankruptcy one alternative, The other-suicide. If creditors are not convinced, And that too very soon, I'll give my homestead to my wife, And settle in the moon, Then when I get beyond your reach Mothinks I'll hear you sigh, "I've lost any Li-n on his crop," Now, "hoto is that for high !" Don't send the sheriff after me, But let him stay in town, If cotton goes to twenty cents, Perhaps I may come down. MOiAL. The true purport of all these lines, Poor human nature shows; How many men, now live to cheat The merchants of his dues. Tho' "times are hard" or getting worse, Take my advice young man, Don't base a contract on a lie, Be honest if you can. All through your life let candor shine, Engraven on your mind, In ov ry act avoid deceit, And friends you'll always find. And should you live your three score years (Your wordly sins forgiven) You'll die beloved by every man, And rest in hope of Heaven. SuonT STAPLE. th1e Seller sold A neat game is now played upon passengers on the Illinois Contral Railroad. The candy man goes around, and, having selected a vic tim, he proposes to Boll him a box of figs. If ho does not wish to par' chase, the candy man gets a conni dential, places ten dollars in a fig box, and picking up two other boxes, inquires how much lie will give for his choice out of the throc boxes. About this time the victim sees the corner of a five dollar bill protruding from one of the boxes, whuich the candy man hias, of course, over looked. A bargain is soon struck for two, three or five dollars, arnd the! victim finds nothing in the box except the nigs and the corner of the bill. This game was tried Inst Tuesday morning on Conductor Locke's train, upon a newspaper re porter, who p~ermitted himself to lbe takin in in order to teach the peanut vendor a lesson in sharp practice. After he had been relieved of his .money, he secured the sharper's name, and upon his returning to the car, the repo'rter called him over complimented him for his sagacity and assured him that his name should be duly chronicled in the p)apers. lie therenpon returned the money with groat alacrity and pro posed to add $10 smore in order to be screened from exposu-e. Tfhis complimentary benefit was respect fully declined for the public good, and the facts are now made known for the traveler's protection. MAN's INIHUMANITrY TO OHILRF.N.

COULDN'T PLAY IT.-A colored man named Nelson is owing a butcher on B3eaubien street five or six dollars, and after trying in vain to collect the money the butcher and a friend put their heads together the other night and laid a plan. About mid night they called at Nelson's house, and he was awakened by a rap on the window. "Who's dar ?" he called out. "The devil !" solemnly replied the butcher. "You is, hey ?" "Yes. I want you !". "Wlat fur ?" "You refuse to pay your butcher, Fund I am sent to take you to tie bottomless pit !" "You is ?" "I am !

The solicitor jmnpod up and asked the protection of the Court. Judge lloed stated that lie con sidered that Col. Mackey had said enough, and requosted him to push the Inatter no further.
