Mr. r Barkley look things philosoyhically; he smiled and remarked that all these things happen in a lifetime. Not in everybody’s lifetime, Mr. Hartley; now and then there may he found on God’s footstool a man honest enough to hold elHce for a year or two with out bankrupting his state, wringing reproach upon his party and victim izing his friends. We sincerely trust that when Hartley serves out his sentence he will he u weak aud palsied man, too old to enjoy the money stolen in former years. It is possible to have sympathy for the criminal driven to crime by want; but the rascal in a boil'd shirt aud fine linen deserves none.—Welt Mason, iu Hcatrice Kxpresa.
