The cashier took his advice, abstracted that additional sum, and when the di took place, con. fessed his error, and told the directors that he would get some of his friends to make amends, provided they did not punish him. After some negotiation, he compromised with them for $100 000, and he retired from his situation with a fortune of $100,000. The cashier was consequent] ted, and he died, we believe, within the oabvent year. The directors never made their loss known, and the public were none the wiser. BLASPHEMY. A correspondent (says the New York Sunday Times) is justly indi ¢ at the vulgar and foolish custom, to use no more terms, of profane swearing. We heartily indorse all he says, and will add that we have repeatedly beeen astonished at the extent which even the smallest boys practice this outrageous habit. He pale ‘I waive the morality of the question entirely. I am sneered out of that point on all heads whenever I attempt to use it; therefore, I would use such argu- ments only as may fell. I think I may lay it down as a conceded fact, that of the many things that the fast men of this fast city are fast at, they are fastest at cursing. They beat creation at that. Jt is a humiliating boast. ‘Young Ameri- ca’ especially peices this vice. I cannot pass a block of a street where a few youths of fourteen to sixteen, or un- der cr over, 3-e congregated, that my ears are not insulted with the most profane oaths. I cannot enter a saloon to take a little refreshment on Sunday or a week day, but I am cursed out of it. I can’t stand cursing any how—it lifts the hat off my head. I think cursing is a white man’s vice. The ‘darkies’ are not expert at it, and I believe the Indians were mot much instructed in the accomplishment. Tf, after a quarter of an hour's conversa- tion with one of our fast young men, a list of the oaths he used were presented to him on a card, I doubt if he would ‘ vote for the whole ticket.’ “How is this vice to be eradicated ? It is quite plain preaching hasnot reached it. I believe ridicule the best weapon to use against it: but the task is difficult. It would not be easy, however, for one who abhors the vice to greet a devotee with such an expression as this: ‘Say, Bill, how is your d—d fine mother, or your G—d d—d sister, to-day?’ Now, the ‘d—n’ and ‘ G—d d—n’ are used by the cursing fraternity as expletives of ex- cellence—instance ; ‘That was G—d d—d good brandy, Bill; « These are d—d fine cigars, &c., &c. But these oaths are “small beer’ to some of the gentry. The changes are rung in every sentence, and in every form of imprecation, on the meck and lowly and suffering being who, although the noblest priest and the grand- est that ever moved in human form, was nailed and lacerated, and goaded to death by a blasphemous rabble on the Mount of Calvary, eighteen hundred and twenty-one years ago, for the faith that was in him, and whom, apart from every question of morality or religion, should be spoken of with respect by every true republican—by every man who believes in the progress of the human race, and rejoices in the march of human civiliza- tion. [do not hear men or boys swear- ing by their mothers, fathers, sisters, wives or sweethearts, or anything human they hold dear. . “Can you not, dear sir, do somethii in your editorial capacity to lend a hand ora pen to whip this loathesome vice out of the community? If you could en- list the aid of the ladies to use their sweet voices in the cause, they could, in their various relations, afford most valu- able aid. Would that the day might ar- rive when some foreigner, in his notes on America, might be enabled to say— But what most distinguishes this people is the purity of their conversation. Rich and poor, young and old, all alike exhibit the effects of a thorough education ; and although they are remarkable for great conversational powers, and 5 with honor, energy, and emphasis, using strong and highly imaginative figures of , speech, I never heard a blasphemous ex- pression throughout the length and breadth of that great land.’” Tue Mormons 1x Proussta.—A letter from Berlin of the 20th says: “At the commeneement ot the present year, the King ef Prussia procured, through his minister plenipotentiary at Washington, and through the Chevalier Bunsen, at that time minister at London, a complete collection of all the publications coneern- ing the Mormons in the United States and in England. The Mormons consid- ered this measure as likely to be favor- able to the propagation of their religion in Prussia; and, in consequence, determined on ‘sending a deputation to compliment his majesty. This deputa- tion arrived, a few days ago, by the rail- way from Stettin ; but no sooner had the persons composing it quitted the car- Tiages, than a detachment of soldiers who were waiting at the station, marched them off to the director of police. That functionary subjected them toa th- ened interrogatory ; after which, y received orders to leave Berlin in twen- ty-four hours, The next morning they left the capital.” —Continencal paper.
