JFDGE NOT.
Judge not: the working of his brain
And of his heart thou can<t not see
What looks to thy dim eyes a stain,
In God'- pure lotht may onlv be
A -tar. brought from some well-won field.
Where tbou wouldst only faint and yield.
The look, the air, that fret; thy sight,
May by a token, that below
The -mil has closed in deadly fight
With some infernal fiery foe,
Who-e slance would scorch the smiling grace,
And rast the shuddering on thy face.
The fall tbou da rest to despise—
May be the slackened angel's hand
Has suffered if. that be may rise
And take a firmer, surer, stand;
Or. trusting le— to earthly things.
May henceforth learn to use tiis wings.
And nidge none lost, lint wait and see
With hopeful pitv, not disdain,
The depth of the abyss may he
The measure oi the heights of pain.
And love and glory that may raise
This soul to God in after days!

Infamy of knou-Noihiugism!
£7* We have ever looked upon Know-Nothingism
a? not only a gross violation of our glorious Consliru
tion, but also embracing doctrines at variance with
every principle of dreary and mora/iTi), and the pro
testing Christian or even niorali-t who could join
such a disgraceful and wirLrd organziaf u>n uiu.-t have
a conscience seared as with a hot iron. In the first
place itenjoins upon men to become LIARS—if evi
dence is wanted to prove tins broad assertion, we
have it fully portrayed in the following article from
the Lancaster (Pa.) Whig —a paper that opposed
Know Nothing!tm from the time it drew its first
pe.-Dleiitial breath upou this happy land of freedom :
From the Lancaster Examiner, Whig.
lloit Secrcl KSt<sitoa*y.
The secret history of the late campaign is be
ing gradually unfolded. The developments
are of the same character this year as the last,
and as they will continue to be, so long as false-
I. -ud and treachery are made the cornerstones
oi a pulitical organization.
At a great k- n. meeting in New York, last
week, the u'ell-kuowu Lewis C. Levin, of
Philadelphia, made a speech, in the course of
which he threw some light on the late cam
paign in Pennsylvania. He said :
Again : our candidate for Canal Commission
er was taken up, (Mr. Martin,) and within nine
davs of the election the j>oiitical tricksters j
withdrew him. A few irresponsible individu
als met at Harrisburg, without any authority ;
from anv source, expressed or implied, and sub- j
stituted Air. Thomas Nicholson. The parties j
making this change professed to represent the
American, the republican, and the outside whig
parties. The effect of this was to convulse the
entire State.—The base and unprincipled pur
pose stood revealed. The object was to claim j
the triumph, whiqh was anticipated, as a repuh- j
iican triumph. But even that plot (ailed. A 1
iii-'itigtiished gentleman from the interior ot
the State, who has held a high post, and who is,
I trust, destined to hold a still higher ene, de- |
termined if possible to save the party from
the meshes of the conspirators, and on theeven
ing of the 4th of October addressed a letter to
-Mr. Nicholson, in which he asked—First : Are
you a member of the American party? Second
ly, Do you recognize the principles olthat par- j
ty as primary and paramount ? Thiidly, Are j
you opposed to the introduction of every "ism"
into the American organization, which might j
place you. as its standard bearer, in a doubtful
position' On the morning of the sth, (four!
cays only before the election.) the following!
telegraphic despatch was received by the gen
tleman refered to:—
HAREISBERO, Oct. 5, 1855.
SIR—I have replied to all your interrogate)- '
ne> in the affirmative. I have sent you a mes
sage to that effect, directed to the Washington
House. THOS. NICHOLSON.
I his response, and this only, gave Mr. Nich
olson his twenty-five thousand votes in the city
"1 Philadelphia.
It will be observed from the above that Nich
olson answered all the interrogatories in the
"jfirmntite —thereby implying that he was a
p'tre know nothing. On the other hand we are
•nlormed by a distinguished citizen of this coun
ty. that be (our informant) inquired of Mr.
Nicholson, shortly after his selection, ox ins
HONOR AS A GEXTI.EMAN, whether he (Nicholson)
was or was not a member of the order of k.
Hs:—and that Mr. Nicholson replied, "ox ms
HONOR AS A GENTLEMAN," that "he was not,
anc never had been, a member of that order."
How lar Mr. Nicholson was worthy of Whig
support or of the Whig nomination, each reader
the above facts can judge for himself. We
<Te content with the reflection that this paper
was not among his supporters.
In this connection, as additional evidence to
main point under consideration, we copy
die following article from the Lehiirh Valley
ones —edited by E. H. Rauch. As the testi
mony is f rom Olie w j l(J | )as jjeen j ns id^ t jt i s
Worthy of attention.
POLITICAL THOUGHTS. —The defeat of the
cow Nothings at the last election, some pre
diet win terminate the existence of the Ameri
can party. It those who make this prediction
mean that the secret Councils of Know Noth
ings are scattered to the four winds of Heaven,
then we fully agree with them. To suppose
for a moment that a s-cret political nominating
party can exist and triumph in this land of civ
il and religious libeitv, where everv citizen is
a free and independent sovereign—where eve
ry man can speak his mind, and worship his
God according to th- dictates of conscience,
would he to suppose that Americans are "cow
ards and the sons of cowards."
The best and purest secret party organization,
we contend, cannot long exist in our country,
simply because the principle is wrong and anti-
Repuhlican, In countries ruled by tyrants,
where Gospel truth and the rights of man dare
not be proclaimed, secret sworn associations, if
necessary to secure the people's rights, are pro
bably nearer right than wrong. But here all
men enjoy civil liberty to the fullest extent,
consequently, secret associations as p ditical par
ties should not be countenanced, for their ten
dency is evil. But when a secret political or
der is in evil hands, and controled by unprinci
pled, selfish and corrupt men, then such order
becomes so detestable that no good citizen can
conscientiously give it aid and comfort.
The Know-Nothing order although its pro fes
sions of principles are good, was managed in
Pennsylvania by as corrupt a set of men as
ever blackened political history , and under such
leaders, a triumph would be even more surpri
sing than the repent defeat. The very first act
ot importance after the Know-Nothing State
Organization was effected last year, was the dis
graceful .Matt fraud upon the honest and un
suspecting voters of the order. The leaders,
we mean the State Council Wire-workers,
through the most worthy Grand High Falsifier
of the Records, (A MINISTER) lately certi
fied that Henry S. Mott was a member of the
order in good standing, and at the same time
knowing that it was a deliberate lie and an in
famous fraud! Still, the fraud answered the
purpose of these fellows, which was to put one
Democrat on the Know-Nothing ticket with
which to catch Democratic votes enough to
elect James Pollock Governor. Such an infa
mous act as this, by the leaders, was enough to
disgust every right minded man, and the great
est surprise is that every K. N. who has a spark
of self-iespect, did not instantly repudiate these
leaders. The Sta'.e Council of Delegates did
not even make any fuss about, but hushed up
the trick as well as they could. It was an aw
ful dose for many good men, who from pure
motives, joined the Know-.Nothings to swallow,
but every prominent leader in the order, it ap
pears. felt disposed to consider the matter as of
no great consequence, and the few who open
ly denounced the fraud , were promptly cried
down as disorganizes or traitors.
A GOOD RICASOX FOR RICH DIATIXC THE SE
CRET ORDER. —We call the attention of our rea
ders to the following extract from the Hunts
ville (Ala.) Advocate, a staunch whig paper,
v* hose editor has been induced to abjure kriow
nothingism. The reasons lie assigns will be
appreciated by every intelligent voter who has
watched the prog-ess of the order, and famil
iarized himself with its results:
"When imow-uothingism first manifested it
self it came wooing the South with the sooth
ing, sweet, and affectionate voice of Jacob ; we
lent a willing ear to it, hoping that it would he
a power in the North to master and swallow
up abolitionism. But its hands have been the
hands of Esau strong, rugged, aggressive, war
like, striking-down the rights, outraging the
feeling, and prostrating the interests of the
South : tendering nothing in exchange but a
mess of pottage seeking to bribe the sons of the
South with hopes of the inheritance, while it
robbed t hem of aif. As soon as the mask was
thrown off, and know-nothingism at (he North
and abolitionism became 'one and indivisible,'
we washed our hands of it. It was not the
'feast to which we were invited.",
A Swiss lloniatire-
In the thirteenth century, Bourcard had an
only daughter of surpassing beauty* who appears
to have captivated the heart of Rudolphe de Wa
diswyl, the youngest, the bravest, and most
amiable of the Dukes of Zahriftger, at some
tournament. Despairing of overcoming the iia
tred of the Daron to his iace, and of obtaining
the hand of Ida in a peaceable way, he formed
the design of carrying her off by force. Soon
after, in consequence of the absence of her fa
ther, a favorable opportunity offered itself, and
he eloped with the lair Ida, who, it appears
was not unwilling to accompany him to his
quarters at Berne. This piece of violence only
served to increase the Baron's rage, and be
came the occasion of sanguinary wars which
devastated (he country between Berne and Iri
terlaken. Rudolphe, generous as he was brave,
1 at lenglh effected by stratagem what he could
not accomplish by force of arms. Fatigued
with glory, and tired of battle-field, he sought
; a:i interview u ith his enemy. He presented
himself, unarmed, at the castle, accompanied
only by a page, and by bribes obtained an en
trance. He bore in his arms the little boy
which tiis Ida had lately given birth <o 4 and
addressed Bourcard—now grown sad arid gray
| from the loss of his beloved daughter—in the
most respectful and submissive terms. The old
man, who recognized at a glance the features
of his long-estranged child in the object now be
i fore him, burst into tears, grasped the helpless
babe in his trembling arms, and freely forgave
the past yea, more :he bequeathed, bv will
and deed, to the boy, Waller Rudolphe named
henceforth Bourcard, the whole of his large
possessions and domains. It was this Walter
who at his death left his heritage and lands to
the convent of Interlaken.
A WONDERFUL BLIND MAN. —The Journal de
i Chartres gives an account of a water-mill, in
the hamlet of Oisiem, near Chartres, built en
tirely by a blind man, without assistance or ad-
vice from any one. The masonry, carpenter's
work, roofing, staiis, paddle wheel, cogs, in a
word, all the machinery pertaining to the mill,
has been made, put up, and set in motion by
him alone. He has also, the above journal as
serts, made his own furniture. When the wa
ter is low and the mill does not work, our blind
miller becomes a joiner, and also a turner, on a
lathe of his own invention, and so he makes all
manner of utensils, and pretty toy wind-mills
for the juveniles. He lives quite alone, sweeps
his n-.vn room, and cooks his own dinner : his
mother, who has fifteen children to care for,
lives a mile off, arid does not trouble her head
about 'her blind boy,' f>r 'he earns his brad
now,' she says, 'and does not want her.' In
18:>2 this blind miller war rewarded with a
medal bv the agricultural society of the arrcu
disseinent for a machine serving the double pur
pose fo winnowing corn and separating the best
grains from the common.
from the Ricbmoixt Dispatch,
furious Facts Connected with the Nor
folk Pestilence.
There are some curious facts connected with
the progress ot the fate terrible visitation at
Norfolk and Portsmouth, which seem to confirm
the theory of Dr. N'ott that tfiis fever is of a
travelling character and moves from South to
North. It commenced in Rio Janeiro; reached
New Orleans in 1853, where its ravages were
terrible ; in 1854 it scourged Savannah: it
reached Portsmouth in 1855. In all previous
visitations of yellow fever, Norfolk was first at
tacked, and from thence the disease was trans
mitted to Portsmouth, which lies south of Nor
folk, and its whole march from the beginning
uas northward. Its progress through the whole
period was always greater in a nortli and north
easterly direction, than west and north-west.
I bus it crossed the water to Norfolk, a mile
distant from Portsmouth, whilst it did not reach
the U. S. Naval Hospital, which lies nearly
west of Norfolk and north-west of Portsmouth,
for two months. When it did appear there,
there were very few cases, and those generally
manageable. Old Point is in the due north line
of its track, and it will be remembered that a
late period of the season there were one or two
cases there. It is some consolation to know, if
this theory be true, that Richmond lies nearly
due west from Norfolk, and that we are conse
quently not in the track of the pestilence.
A very intelligent gentleman, who adopts the
idea that the plague is caused by animatcuhe,
mentions a statement which be has heard,, that
soon alter the interment of a corpse in a vault
adjoining a church, in England, the communion
was administered in the church, and nearly all
who partook of the elements were taken sick,
and some died. The wine merchant from
whom the wine had been procured was arrested
on a charge of poisoning. While the subject
was in agitation, some persons, on entering the
church, saw by the rays of the sun, streaming
through a partly opened window shutter, mill
ions ot animalcule floating about in the light.
These animalcule seemed to have an affinity for
fluids, especially tor wine, some of which was
placed in the church, and it was soon filled with
animalcul®, and upon a test being applied, the
wine was lound to he poisoned. The atumal
cula? were afterwards proved to have emanated
from the above ground vauit where the dead
body had recently been buried.
Our informant also refers to the curious ap
pearance of the plague fly. Jt is a tact, estab
lished beyond contradicting, that alter the
plague had culminated at Portsmouth, the cu
rious fly appeared. Jt was between the size of
a inousqueto and ordinary fly, and changed its
color from red to yellow. Where did the
plague-flies come from ? They seem to have
escaped the observation of natural historians.—
Our friend suggests they may be the animalculse,
generated by the dead bodies, in a Certain stage
of their being.
In this connection, a singular fact is stated
by an eminent Judge of this State, v\ ho seems
to sustain the theory of Dr, Nott and of our
Portsmouth friend. Jt is that the great pest to
the agriculturist, the Joint Worm, travels from
south to north, always in a certain line, and
never exceeding a certain breadth. So umlorin
are its movements that if he only knows when
it has reached the North Carolina line, or any
given point whatever, south ot his residence, lie
can estimate with considerable exactness the
time when it shall reach his own plantation.
We are not prepared to advocate any partic
ular theory on the subject, but the facts stated
' seem to us worthy of the consideration of men
of science.
Ax UNFORTUNATE HABIT. —Some persons
are in the habit of dwelling upon and greatly
magnifying every little injur}' they receive at
the hands of others. They thus render them
selves very disagieeable to those into whose
ears they are continually pouring their com
plaints: and at the same time greatly injure
themselves in the estimation of such, whilst
they are contributing very much to their own
personal misery. How much better would it be
were such persons to bury their little troubles,
or at least to keep them entirely out of sight !
It is to be presumed that they do not sufficiently
reflect upon the true nature of their conduct,
else they would certainly be more careful to
( avoid it than they are. Jamieson forcibly ex
j poses the great folly of such conduct by the
. following illustration.
"A man strikes me with a sword and inflicts
, a wound. Suppose, instead of binding lip the
a wound, I am showing it to everybody, and
I alter it bag been bound up I am taking off the
j bandage continually and examining the depth
? of the wound, and make it fester till my lime
becomes greatly inflamed and my general health
j is materially aflected ; is there a person in the
world who would not call me a fool ? Now
such a fool is he who, by dwelling upon lit
e tie injuries, or insults, or provocations, cause!
a them to agitate or inflame his mind. How
- much better were it to put a bandage over tht
- wound and never look at it again.— G. R. .Mess

It was gathered from the reports of the re
-3 spective committees, that the labors of this soci
a ety tiave riot been in vain : a spirit of improve
-3 ment is abroad in the county. A marked im
a provement was noticed in Jhe horses exhibited;
3 the display of cattle was not large, but of good
3 quality. Hogs, sheep and poultry hard to beat,
3 whilst the display of grain, fruit and vegetables
0 was exceedingly creditable, and better, rarely
a to be met with. Maj. Washabaugh's mammi th
0 tender-fleshed squash of 182 pounds weight, at
\ traded great attention ; also all the other vege
tables. L'pon the whole, the exhibition mani
fested thp interest felt bv the friends of the so
?. i ciety, in the good old cause of agriculture.
