They had a time of it in the city, but for fear tliey would be dry before getting home, they procured a jug of whiskey, and after dark, of a dark nijrht, too, they embarked in their boat, expecting to raaoh home in the morning. They rowed away with •II the energy that three half tipsy fallows could muster, keeping up their spirits in the dark, by pouring the spirits down. At break of day they thought tliey must be near home, and seeing through the dim Crrev of thfc morning, a house oft the  side, Stone said : From the Rochester Daily Advertiser. The American Convention assembled at Philadelphia, it w ill have boon Seen. has g it into something like order, after euffering a deleeti.m which relieved it of much of the abolition element wiih which it wae so Jo.dk afflicted. The secession ol moat of the Northern States restored comparative quiet, and led to the nomination of a Presidential ticket, respectable as to the character of the nominees, and possessing the elements ol considerable strength.— The result, so lar as the nominee for the Presidency is concerned, has not surprised us at all, sinoo we hod no faith whatever in the assumed popularity ol George Law, In connection with the position he sought. Mr. FilluuDre in a known and tried man, aud pertain it is, that among the names Mentioned in connection with the Preai dential office, by the psrty whose nominee lie is, none would have combined more of the elemeijfs, of strength than his own. The ViOt'-Presijenlial nominee, Mujor D.inelson, ia a man ol fair talents, but has few claims to experience in statesmanship, still the party might have made wort* selection.

Tim New York Tribuuo publishes the following thrilling sketch: s 44 Can't Afford Books."—What ? Not able to buy books Tor yourself and children ! Vou are loo poor, you say ; provisions are so high, and books are a luxury 7 You smoke, rou chew tobacco, you indulge in an occasional glass; your wile wears a rich silk lOr her best dress; your daughter upends not a Mule on ribbon; and vet you say you can't afford to buy instructive books, which, if a just discrimination is to be made, are far less luxuiiou* than either of these. Cigars, silks and ribbons can be done without, and at no greater sscrilioe than that of a useless habit, or the denial ol some personal vanity ; but books are absolutely necessary to you, if you would keep pace wi'.b the increase ol knowledge, or cuhivate the higher parts ol nature, lor it is absolutely true ol every man, no matter what his original gifts, thai, it ha does not advance, h« recedes ; and that he will recede, if ho devote* his leisure to merely sensuous gratification, to the lusts of the eye or the flesh. No one can advance in intellectual or spiritual development, without cultivating those parts of Lis nature, and books are one of tar appointed means ibr litis. " A wealthy and intelligent man, who did not drink in society, nor habitually at home, had a room in bis mansion in which as otleu as three or lour timet a year, he would gorge himself with liquor. \VliCln lie found his cravjngs for rum coming on he would lock up in that room until iho ' acuta ' .was over. The appear mice of his room at the close ot one ol the.se sprees was disgustingly filthy.. A friend who knew his Imbila remonstrated with liirn, but was told that reform was impossible, so irresistible was his cravings for rum at Q-rtuin times. Ilia friend begged him to try. His two soil', fifteen ami seventeen years ot age, earnestly pressed ihe appeal. At last, the man consented to try, and drawing from liis pocket a key, saiJ to his oldest son ' Here is the key to the liquor closet: will you take it and promise on no condition, and tor no violence with which I may threaten you, to dive it up when I demand it ?' The boy, knowing bow furious his tailier Wna on iheae occasion*! declined the trust. The father then a*ked his younger son, a boy of uncommon nerve, the same ioos, and he promptly rC plied, '1 wi.J.' For a few weeks, things went on stnoolhiy, but one day, the fattier came home at an unu sua! hour. His manner betokened that his appetite was gnawing and craviug.— If) called his younger son, and demanded ibe key to the liquor-closei, but was r«- lused,- firmly. The refusal maddened him and seizing some weapon, he sprang at hi* aon. For a moment, he stood over him, with glaring eyes, and insane with rage, but the ycKing hero never quailed.— Fixing his firm, but fearful eye on his father, he said :—•'* Father, 1 promised that 1 would not. j(ive you that key, iuD matter what violence you might threaten, end now von may kill me, but I will never give "you that key !" Instantly the weapon dropped from the man's hand, and, as he himself expressed it, "the appetite for liquor seemed to abandon me before the noble firmness of my son." He was reclaimed and never fell. His cure was radical and thorough." SMffilir VillifiiiiB, Fashionable Barber and Hair 1 rcszer Ont Door Notfh of Bvl/er llovse, PITTBT'lN. PA.
