THE SYNAGOGUE OF SH ILLOHN.
(Some of our discontented folk, who must be
"on 'he move," tnay learn a lesson from the sage
swallow who was "tired oftravel" and would "stay
in London."]
Lo, on the roofs the swallows congregate,
What time the raindrops of October patter,
And each one talks about his future fate ;
And bless my soul, bow merrily they chatter !
"I'm off to Memphis," are the words of one,
"A nest by azure Nile was the suggestion
Of r*e old lyrical Anacrcon,
Ere earth was plagued with an Egyptian
question."
"Well, I'm for Athens," quoth another bird ;
Extremely pleasant is the Greek metropolis,
Dear Procne's wailings long ago it heard ;
And I've a cosy nest in the Acropolis."
"I'm for Stamboul," thus twittered Number
Three;
"I like the Turks, who desperately tore an
Enormous slice from Europe. Then, you see,
I'm rather heterodox, and Kive the Koran."
Another said, "Afar in Eastern land
Tartars would snatch oil England's gold tiara ;
I mean to tiy straight off to Samnrcand,
And watch the Russian armies through
Bokhara."
"Away ! away ! and at your swiftest pace !
Coino back, and tell what's done and who is
undone,"
So spake the sagost of the swallow raco;
"I'm tired of travel, and shall stay in London."
[From the Philadelphia Inquirer.]
14 IN IIAI'OQ I - lEE AS.
Kisliaooquillas! beautiful word,
Soft as the river it christens,
That drops from the mountain down like a bird,
In trills ot natural melody heard,
Saying to any who listens
Under the hemlocks, over the willows—
"Kishacoquillas !"
Ouce, when a boy, I strayed from thy rills,
Far in the green Alleghauies,
Adown through tho cleft of the wild grey hills,
To the golden valley of brooks and mills.
Where the strong Juniata's refrain is
Waiting to bear thee away on his billows—
"Kishacoquillas!"
Shrill the bald eag'e screamed to tear
Thy silvery trout he had taken ;
Tho eyes of the red fox winked from his lair ;
Deep in thy sands were the tracks of the bear :
By tho stag's tall antlers shaken,
The boughs of the beeches murmured to thrill us;
"Kishacoquillas !'■
Down the long aisle of ash and oak
Shyly the deer were grazing ;
Cherrily echoed the lumbermen's stroke ;
Bluely arose their camp-fire smoke ;
Dreamy by distance the sons they were raising;
Thou with thy life in thy name seemed to thrill us ;
"Kishacoquillas !"
Called the young quail from the mossy brake ;
The woodcock whirring a soaring;
Rang his alarm the rattlesnake ;
The cataract climbed the beard of the lake;
The old red mill slept a snoring;
Bending the cattle drank uniler the willows,
"Kishacoquillas
Sweeter thy water than sugar that drips
In tho cup ot thy maples wounded !
Sweet as kisses on maiden lips
Thy name, that is music to him who sips
Each time that it* prattle is sounded,
Liquid and loving, like thee to thrill us,
"Kishacoquillas!"
GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND.
A SEA SICK TRAGEDIAN.
Sea sickness is a sad leveler, to which
the strongest minds succumb, leaving
nothing but the desire to touch terra
lirma again. An eminent artist, who
has recently made a most successful
tour in California, returned East by
steamer. Scarcely had the ship got
out of sight of land before the Thespian
was laid by the heels with mat da mer.
In the depths of his despair he called
for the Captain, and when that worthy
arrived, the tragedian gazed at him for
a few moments and then asked ;
"Ar-r-e—you the Captain ?"
"I have that honor," said the son of
Neptune.
"Ver-r-y well—sir. I want you to
run this blasted ship ashore. I'll pay
for her, hull, engines and cargo."
The Captain smiled and told his un
happy passenger it was impossible.
"Ver-r-y well, sir-r-r. Tie her to a
rock, then, and stop this blasted rol
ling."
Being assured that this was also im
possible, the wretched actor retired to
his stateroom, and lying there in mor
tal agony, cursed the sea and all that
appertained to it with oaths both loud
and deep.
Now, it so happened that the Rev.
Mr. Chadband, wlia had collected a
large amount of money in California,
to purchase fine tooth combs and tracts
for the Digger Indians, was on his way
East to invest his funds, and occupied
the stateroom next to the actor's. Hor
rified at the roars of the sick lion, he
walked into his stateroom just as he let
off'another volley of anathemas, which
extorted a deep groan from Chadband
"Halloo," said the player, "are you
sick ?"
"Sick at heart, brother," was the re
sponse, "to hear you use such bad lan
guage."
"It is a bad habit," said the wretched
artist, "but hang it, sir, here I've been
turned insideout for three daysthrowing
up everything possible, and if I'm sick
any longer, curse me if I dou't think I
shall throw up my engagement in New
York. Blast the sea !"
"Don't, my dear sir, don't curse so.
Remember One who was patient under
much greater suffering than yours."
The tragedian rose to his full height,
and, running his fingers through his
hair, as he chewed his voice for a mo
ment, replied :
"1 do remember Ilim, sir-r-r, and I
remember that when lie wascaughtat
sea, lie got out and walked , and I wish
I could follow His example in that re
spect, at least."
Mr. Chadband concluded that any
: more missionary effort in that direction
I would not be very profitable.
THE (-O.MIXG FONGRF.RS AND THE
PRESIDENT.
The Pant anil the Present.
Theadjourned meeting of the first ses
sion of the Fortieth Congress will com
mence on Thursday next, the 21st in
stant, and end on Saturday, the 30th
November. On Monday, the 2d day
of December the regular session will
commence, when, it is understood, the
President's message will he sent in, that
being the commencement of the regu
lar session. No message was sent in at
the special July session which was not
held under any law or usage, nor is any
necessary to inaugurate the prolonga
tion of the same session. The .1 uly ses
sion was held for the purpose of im
peaching the President, but it having
been deemed advisable to postpone the
project, the two houses agreed to ad
journ till the 21st of November, when
the report of the committee on the ju
dicary upon the impeachment subject
will be received, and will probably oc
cupy the exclusive consideration ofCon
gress during tlie adjourned session.—
The chairman of the judiciary commit
tee is Mr. Wilson, of lowa, and is un
derstood to be opposed to presenting
articles of impeachment, as are also
two other members of the committe of
five, making, therefore a majority of
the committee against that extreme
measure. In the event of their refusal
to present articles of impeachment, it
is believed that other members of the
House will attempt to do it indepen
dently of the committee; a good deal
of excited debate, ho** ver, may be
anticipated, ending in no decisive ac
tion. If the House was not prepared
for impeachment in July, but thought
it best to wait for the results of the fall
elections before coming to a final con
clusion, it may be safely predicted that,
after the emphatic condemnation
which the people, including men of the
republican as well as other parties,
have uttered against the excesses of rad
icalism, it will not be deemed in the in
terest of the party to press impeach
ment now, though, in its stead, a reso
lution of censure upon the President
may be passed and go upon record.—
Theeffectof such proceedingsislikely to
prove even more impotent for harm,
except to the actors in it, than the fa
mous resolution of censure passed upon
General Jackson for the removal of the
deposits from the United States Bank
by the Senate of the United States, at a
time when the Senate was composed
of the most illustrious men of the na
tion.
The resolution charged a high crime
upon the President in violating the
laws and constitution to obtain power
over the public treasure, to the dan
ger of the liberties of the people, and a
misdemeanor in dismissing the late
Secretary of the Treasury from office.
It was thought by the Senate that the
passageof the censure resolution would
demolish General Jackson, but it had
exactly the opposite effect, and not
withstanding the unprecedented finan
cial distress which then prevailed
throughout the country, and the adroit
use which was made of it to stir up
popular indignation against General
Jackson, the instinctive sagacity of
the people saw that the senatorial cen
sure was prompted by private griefs of
General Jackson's political rivals, and
their innate sense of justice and charac
teristic love of fair play revolted at the
trial and condemnation o! a man by
his avowed enemies. Andrew Jackson
stood then, as Andrew docs
now, the sole obstacle to the powerful
combination which was arrayed against
him ; but his firmness was equal to the
emergency, and he never lost faith in
the people, being in the habit of declar
ing, "The people will take it up after
awhile." The people did take it up,
and the resolution of censure made him
more popular than ever, whilst those
who had passed it were politically crip
pled, and lived to see the day when it
was formally expunged from the re
cords of the Senate.
The "protest" that General Jackson
addressed to the Senate after its resolu
tion had passed contains many views
and arguments not inapplicable to the
similar proceeding which is said to be
contemplated against President John
son. lie contended that the resolution
was essentially judicial, and that
though the Senateposesses a high ju
dicial power, it <an only be exercised in
the eases and under the forms prescri
bed by the constitution, which is by
impeachment; so that to pass a resolu
tion which was in substancean impeach
ment was to deprive the President of
the safeguards and formalities which
the constitution has connected with
that power, and which the trainers of
that instrument supposed to be essen
tial to the protection of the public ser
vant, the attainment of justice, and the
dignity and impartiality of the proce
dure. Seven years afterwards an ex
punging resolution, which had been
originally moved by Thomas H. Ben
ton, who "solitary and alone, set the
ball in motion," passed the Senate,
which ordered the obnoxious sentence
of censure to be enclosed in an oblong
square of black lines, aiul across the
face the e words written, in strong let
tors, "Expunged by order of theSerate,
this 15th day of March, 1837." Jt is
within the bounds of probability that,
seven years hence, there will be so com
plete a revolution of public sentiment
in this country, and such a sweeping
transfer of political power to other
hands that any resolution which Con
gress may now euter upon its records

We suppose very little hope is en

by this scheme, to counterbalance the
losses which they may suffer in the
North, and to prolong their political
ascendency in the legislation of the
country, even though tiiey should fail
in the election of the next President.

A WOM AX 51.uu:u:s A WO MAX.
A person was brought before the
police court at Syracuse the other day
on a charge of wearing male apparel,
while being with a female, of making
love to the Syracuse belles "on false
pretences," and marrying a woman,
Ac. There is no doubt of her feminini
ty, though her counterfeit of a man is
said to be perfect. She is English, is
supposed to be forty years of aire, went
by the name of A. Clark, and received
remittances from England, part of
which goes to the support of a sister in
Syracuse. Jn reply to the question,
"Are you a male or female? ' she
answered : Your officers can tell you,"
or "have told you." She refused to
give any more direct answer to the
inquiry in relation to her sex, and
was com ni i tted for furt her examinat ion.
A few weeks since she assumed the
garb of a man, and made the acquaint
ance of a young lady named Miss Lewis.
After a brief courtship they were mar
ried, and the parties have since
resided together as husband and wife.
The marriage ceremony was preformed,
about three weeks since, and thebride's
father suspecting something wrong
about his new son-in law, obtained a
private interview, and informed her of
his suspicion that she was not what
she pretended to be. At first she claim
ed that she was a man, but on closer
questioning admitted that she was a
female. She has marked features,
prominent nose, high cheek bones,
black hair, worn long (for a man,)
and curling at the end, and apparently
brushed and oiled with care. She
wears a glazed cap, blue coat, blue shirt,
dark vest, snufi'-colored pants, gaiter
boots, and a shawl over her shoulders;
speaks with considerable confidence,
and is not very communicative. It
is understood that when this eccentric
woman first came to the house of the
bride's father, she was dressed in fe
male apparel, and her clothing was
changed to man's attire with the
knowledge of the family. The proba
bility is that the family supposed that
she was assuming the proper habiii
ments of her sex and her waman's dress
was a disguise. The lady's father was
averse to the match, but the bride still
clings to her woman husband, and
claims that the arrest is a conspiracy
against them. They were allowed to
meet in the anterooms of the police
office, and embraced each other with
the greatest marks of affection.
THE DEVIL IN* IIIS BREECHES.—
Daniel Webster had an anecdote of old
Father Searl, the minister of his boy
hood, which is too good to be lost. It
was customary then to wear buckskin
breeches in cool weather. One Sunday
morning in the autumn, Father Searl
brought his breeches down from the
garret, but the wasps had taken posses
sion during thesummer, and were hav
ing a nice time of it in them. By dint
of effort he got out the intruders and
dressed for meeting. But while read
ing the scriptures to the congregation
he felt a dagger from one of the enraged
small waisted fellows, and jumped
around the pulpit slapping his thigh.
But the more he jumped the more they
stung. The people thought him crazy,
but be explained the matter by saying:
"Brethren, don't be alarmed; the
word of the Lord is in my mouth, but
the devil is in my breeches!" Webster
always told it with great glee to the
ministers.
THE WKONG TICKET COULDN'T GO
IN.—A freedman, on returning home
from the election last week, was asked
what he did. lie replied he did not
know any more than a child.
"Well," inquired his interrogator,
"how do you know whether you voted
right or wrong?"
"Oh, I knows I voted right, 'cause 1
had the right ticket, as no other could
be put in—for I seed it tried. The
wrong ticket couldn't go in!"— La
Grange (Ga.) Reporter.
CONCERNING THE SOUL.—A preach
er once endevored to teach somechi'd-
I ren that their souls would live a >r
| taey were dead. They heard his
words, but did not understand them.
He was too abstract; ho shot over their
heads.
Snatching his watch from his pocket,
he said, "James, what is this I hold in
my hand ?"
"A watch, sir."
"A little clock." said another.
"Do you see it ?"
"Yes, sir."
"How do you know it is a watch ?"
"It ticks, sir."
"Very well; can any of you hear it
tick ?"'
All listen. After a little pause:
"Yes, sir we hear it."
Then he took off the case, and hold
that in one hand and the watch in the
other.
'Now, children, which isthe watch?'
"The little one in your hand, sir."
"Very wel', again. Now, I will put
the case aside—put it way down there,
in my hat. Now, let us see if you ean
hear the ticking?"
"Yes, sir, we hear it," cried several
voices.
"Well, the watch can tick, and go
and keep time, you can see, when the
case is off, and put in my hat. 80 it
is with you, children. Your body is
nothing but the ante. The soul is in
side. The ca. e may be taken off, and
buried in the ground; may be cast in
to the fire, or thrown into the sea, but
the soul will live on just as well with
out the Oody, as this watch will keep
on ticking when'the case is laid aside."
Now that illustration and that
thought will live in the minds of those
children who heard it forever.
PLUM P WOM EX.— The New York Ga
zeite concludes a plea for 'plump wo
men' as follows: But whatever educa
tion our girls have, let us have less of
it. American girls are notorious for
their pallor and frailty and tendency
to wither and lose their charms at an
early age. This country has no great
er want at the present time than of
plump girls and plump women. Let
us have them plumpand healthy,wheth
er they know anything or not. We
can teach their children what they do
not know, if neccessary: by all means
let us have rosy blossoming, solid wo
men. The Pacific railroad is not half
so important to the prosperity of this
country as the aggregate avoirdupois of
its women. The female sex of Ameri
ca ought to weigh at least half as much
again as it does.
To KEEP POTATOES FROM HOTTING.
—The Germantown Telegraph is au
thority for the following which may
be worth something to farmers whose
potatoes already show signs of rotting
badly. Thesurest protection against the
rotting of potatoes, after being har
vested, there is no question, we think, is
air slacked lime. Let the lime be
sprinkled over the bottom of the bin
before filling, and repeat the applica
tion at each foot of potatoes until the
bin is filled up. The quantity is what
a farmer would call a good sprinkling.
Potatoes should be excluded from the
light, and where convenient, covered
with old carpet. When buried out of
doors, a light dry spot should be select
ed, which can be thoroughly drained,
and then pursue the same with the
lime as before. A vent must of course
be left as in the top for the escape of
the confined air.
GOOD HAMS. —After hams have been
smoked, take them down, thoroughly
rub the flesh part with molasses, then
immediately apply ground or powder
ed pepper, by sprinkling on as much as
will stick to the molasses, when they
must be hung up again to dry. Hams
treated in this manner will keep per
fectly sweet tor two or three years.
This must be done before the fly depos
its its eggs, for after that is done, noth
ing will slop their ravages. The above
has been practiced in our section for
more than twenty years. No soaking
is necessary. One pint of molasses and
one and a half or two pounds of black
pepper are sufficient for any ordina y
family. Try this plan, if you want
good sweet hams.— Cor. Rural Ameri
can.
SALT AND ASHES FOR HORSES. —
Those keeping horses, should, twice a
week, throw in a handful to each of
salt and ashes. Mix them by putting
in three parts of salt to one of ashes.
Horses relish this, and it will keep
their hair soft and tine. It will pre
vent bois, colic, &c. A' little ground
sulphur mixed with salt and ashes,
and given once in two or three weeks,
is also beneficial. All domestic ani
mals will be thus benefited. — American
Farmer.
HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPEKS.—The fol
lowing are a Jew valuable household
hints, which are worth preserving:
Save your suds for garden plants, or
for gaiden yards, when sandy.
Wash your tea-trays with cold suds,
polish with a little Hour and rub with
a dry cloth.
Frozen potatoes make more starch
than fresh ones; they also make nice
cakes.
A hot shovel held over varnished
furniture will take out the white spots.
A bit of glue dissolved in skimmed
milk and water will restore old crape.
A1 ways mend the clothes before wash
ing them.
AT a Sabbath school, not many miles
distant, only a few weeks ago, a rever
end gentleman, after exhorting the
school most piously and affectionately
for a half hour, byway of giving the
pupils a chance to contribute llieir mite
to the general glory of the occasion,
requested them to sing Jordan for him,
expecting, of course, to hear, On Jor
dan''s stormy banks I stand, Ac. when,
to his surprise, the scholars, with one
accord, si ruck up, Jordan am a hard
road to travel , Ac.
