Good morning, Mr. President: a pardon I would ask: Just to this paper sign your name, a very easy task: s Then give mc sir, your good right hand, and we will brothers be; For I'm from Miasissippi State, and you're from Tennessee. We of the Southern chivalry have made eouie lit tle stir, . Theugk hardly worth the mentioning; a trifling matter, sir. We thought it wu our privilege and duty to secede, And lot the Country go to wreck, —a little thing indeed.' I'm of a noble family, who fought and struggled hard, And fur the good Confederate cause, were hacked and maimed and scarred, —• Myself and father, brother, nephews, sons: and wife Was always armed with pocket pistol, dirk, and bowie knife. Onoe in a while, I left the ranks to visit Ander sonville To aid mv fellow soldiers there their prisoners to kill: ' , My eyes ! how 'twould have made you laugh if yon could just have seen How gaunt and famishing they looked, bow squal id, sunk, and lean. Sometimes I'd give one here a kick, another thore a blow, And knock another on the head, to help along, you know, Then serve their rations, —not enough to feed a hungry cat. And very poor and hard beside:—oh well! but what of that ? 'Tis true our noble Southern soil is sown as thick as seas With graves of Northern soldiers, look whichever way you please: But what if wc hate taken off about a million lives? There's uiauy and many a good-for-nothing Yan kee still survives. I will not venture to affirm that I exactly hired Young Atzerodt to murder you, I only just desired That he might "tab you to the heart; but uow, good sir, you sec, To pardon this were surely Christiah magnanimity! There is a pardon-broker here, who said that he would come For a five hundred dollar bill, or some such little sum; But that i could not well afford, so thought I'd come myself: i'erhap* would answer just as well, and I should save the pelf. We Southerners have memories, we do not quite forget: We're very loyal now, out still, there's good stuff in us yet; So sign this paper now, and I shall be all right to go With other friends again to plot my country's overthrow. Com* hurry up, good President: for I must hurry down To seize the niggers by the throat, or brand them on the cruwu: 'Tis said they are about to rise, and that is just the cause Why we shall need some stringent, sound, pro hibitory laws. They're wanting very much, at, home, a powerful man like mc To shew the blacks the happiness and bliss of be ing free; My business is so urgent, sir, I wish you would make haste And get that pardon ready now, I have no time to waste. [The President siyns the paper and yircs it to him Oh! thank you, thank you, President, my excel lent good brother, I think that in these small affairs we understand each other: Yon are to us rebellious ones an ardent friend and firm, And you shall be our candidate, to serve another term. [Exit Southerner.) ®wl §tms. THE New York Herald, speaking of the war which is about to burst forth in Europe remarks that "from the headquarters—Paris —Napoleon will direct the movements of the arms of Italv, Prussia and France, as Grant directed his corps under Sherman, Thomas and Sheridan." The Herald adds: That Napoleon will do all that Grant has done is not to be anticipated. We doubt whether Napoleon has the military genius of Gen. Grant. The world does not produce two such generals at the same time. Neither are there in Europe such soldiers as those who fought in the American armies: turned rivers from their courses; invented means to overcome every obstacle of art or nature; built roads through swamps and morasses which no living being seemed able to pene trate: stormed mountain fastnesses that ap peared more impregnable than Gibraltar; won victories above the clouds; swept like a sword of fire across the continent, carried the bright flag of their country into the very recesses of the rebellion. THF. Fortress Monroe correspondent of the Boston Traveller says the representations sent forth as to the feeble health of Jeff. Davis are part of a plot to secure his release. The writer says: Mr. Davis' health is by no means of that precarious or dubious cast, as to cause any serious apprehension of his failure or decay, beyond what is common to humanity in any latitude, or in any place, and was as much the subject of comment years before his capture as since. He has all the exercise he desired—or the Surgeon of the Post advised for him. His food has been of as good quality and variety as any officers at the Post, aud so make it all that it was desired, the Surgeon of the Post has for some time, been allowed, in addition to soldier's fare, eighteen dollars per month ex tra, to furnish Mr. Davis from his own table such delicacies as he may icquire. SHOULD the President's plan of reconstruc tion succeed,and southern ex-rebels and nor thern Copperhead- get into power, the Na tional Securities would be worth next to nothintr. The Government, controlled by those disloyal parties, would repudiate the debt, or at all events insist that the Re.bcl or 'Confederate debt 'must be paid likewise. In either event 7-30's would hardly com mand 2 per cent, premium as tliey now do. Let our 'Democratic fellow citizens who hold these Securities consider the ulti mate results that would follow Copperhead and liebel rule and vote accordingly.—Read ing Journal. ON an average three hundred persons die yearly in the City of New York from the di rect effeets of intemperance, which docs not include the homicides, the suicides, and the thousand and one other causes of death that indirectly arise from the liquor trade.

THE ROTHCHILDS.—A London letter says: The great money-lending houses, such as Rothschild and Baring, profit by the ruin of companies like Overend's. It is the im mense profits of those capitalists which have been made the excuse lor the establishment of the finance companies, and if all the lat ter are broken, the better for the Roth schilds and Barings. While manufacturers and farmers and tradesmen are paralyzed, the men whose dominion is supreme are men like those I have named, who own nei ther plantations, nor factories, nor farms, nor ships, nor merchandise, but who, in their dingy counting rooms, have a strong box full of short dated bills of exchange, whose names are familiar words in the transfer of fice, and who can deliver the proudest from ruin by a leaf from their check book. Okarv asi) tue Soldiers. —At the re cent Soldiers' Convention, held in Lancaster to elect delegates to Pittsburg, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That in the nomination by the Fuion party of Major General John W. Geary, for Governor of Pennsylvania, we see evinced the determination by a loyal peo ple to recognize the claims of those who nave brought the late terrible civil war to a suc cessful issue; and being one of us. and hav ing proved himself not only a brave and prudent officer and gallant soldier, but also in possession of those admirable qualities to be required in a ruler, and better still, fore most in the support of those principles for whieli we fought for four years, we pledge to him our hearty and enthusiastic support. THE ENGLISH MONEY PANIC. —The Bos ton Traveller says that letters received in that city from merchants in London and Liverpool, speak of the monetary panic ex perienced there week before last as one of the mestsevere for the momentevei remem bered. As to the future the writers are divided in opinion. Some are hopeful that government interference will put a stop to the troubles, while others state that a very heavy decline in commercial values will have to be submitted to, which will produce more failures. As Saturday, May 12th, the day of the sailing of the steamer, was but hal fa business /lay the full effects of the failure of Overend, GuerneyA Co. upon the communi ty could not be fully ascertained. General Railroad Law. The MeadviUe Republican gives our Legislature the following handsome notice, and incidentally pays its respects to the Pennsylvania Central lfailroad. It is now well understood, that this corporation has owned the Pennsylvania Legislature for a number of years past. It is supposed to be rather costly property, but on the whole the Company thinks it worth owning. It is worth a good deal to a Monopoly like the Pennsylvania Central to get all the Legisla tion which it wants, and prevent all which it don't want. llow long the people of Pennsylvania will stand this sort of thing remains to be seen. Austria Preparing (or IVar. NEW YORK May 25. —A Venice letter, dated on the 3d or May, states that Austria has been making extensive preparations for war. both with Italy and Prussia, since the inception of the German difficulty, and that she was, at the latest moment well prepared for a bloody defence of her oosition on the frontiers of both countries. The writer says that the Italians in and around Venice were not particularly excited. They looked for a sharp and decisive struggle, and, curiously enough, expected a re adjustment of the Austro-Italian question as a result. The Chicago Journal says: "We hear of some injury by recent frost 3in some parts of the West, but no very serious damage is reported. The season is discouragingly backward, and rain is much needed. The crop prospects,however, are generally good. The wheat business of the upper Mississip pi at this" time is enormous. The last year's crop is just being brought out of Minnesota being drawn out of first hands by the pres ent high prices, and the river affords an easy and cheap channel for its transportation that is readily appreciated as soon as it has to be moved by rail. THF. Fortress Monroe correspondent of the New York Ilerald, is very indignant because some officers have gane into the presence of Jeff Davis without removing their hats! The " honored political associations"(!) of Davis, the correspondent exclaims, should shield him from such insults! Why, if President Johnson's twlicy is successful, we suppose we shall all be expected to sing hosannahs to the great and good Davis, ana shout our admiration for his "honored po litical association." The inquiry may well be made, "whither are we tending?" Ld>n non Courier. THE President has signed the Post Office appropriation bill. It contains a clause which cuts off all Government advertising from Washington papers except the two having the largest circulation. He has also signea the bill to punish kidnapping by se vere penalties. Hon. Wm. H. Sewa rd delivered a care fully prepared political speech at Auburn, N. Y., on last Tu .sday evening. He main tained that the President and Congress dif fered only in non essentials, and that both had the same end in view—the peace and prosperity of the country. ADVERTISE. Goods are like girls, they must go when they are in fashion and good looking, or else a yoke of oxen would not draw them after ward. The man that advertises most, does the most business, because he does not make one stock last a lifetime. If you want to borrow money—if you want to lend money —if you want to rent a farm—if you have one to sell advertise. If your horse, cow, pig, eolt, sheep or oxen get astray, advertise them right off, and do not run a chanceof los ing them altogether, or having to pay as much as they are worth in charges for keep ing. If you are a shoemaker, a tailor, a blacksmith, or any kind of a mechanic, show people that you arc not ashamed of being a mechanic, by advertising. If you keep a hotel make it known When people see a man advertise they know he is a business man. The world is full of folks that want. —Some want to sell, some want to by, and the only way to meet these wants, and make money, is to advertise. Advertising is like money—if followed up. Merchants think nothing of paying forty dollars for one sign, with nothing but their names on it. Well, what do you thing of having a thousand signs a week in a news paper? In ityou show your whole establish ment to the city and county each week. — Ex. A YOUNG lady explaiuod to a printer the other day the d stinction between printing and publishing, and at the conclusion of her remarks byway of illustration, she said, "You may print, a kiss upon my cheek, but you must pot publish it' BEDFORD. Pa.. FRIDAY. JUNE 8. 1866. PISKTUMTFTO. "NIGGER EQUALITY," Senator Wilson thus elucidates the chief Copperhead bugaboo : "Our country," said that illustrious statesman, John Quincy Adams, "began its existence by the universal emancipation of man from the thraldom of man. Amid the darkling storms of revolution, America proclaimed as its living faith the sublime creed of human equality. From out the rolling clouds of battle, the new republic, as it took its place in the family of nations, proclaimed in the ear of all Humanity that the poor, the humble, the sons of toil, whose hands were hardened by honest labor, were tho equals, the peers, before the law of kings and princes and nobles. This dec laration of the rising Republic in the New World was an inspiration to th: champions of popular rights in the Old World, and a hope to the people in whose hearts still lin gered the dimly-remembered accents of lib erty. To men crushed in struggling for the rights of humanity, the proclamation of the self-evident truth that all men are created equal and have an inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, has been for two generations a living faith, that would illume their darkened pathway to liberty protected by law. Eighty-nine years after the proclamation ot the sublime creed of human equality, which has been an in spiration to humanity the wide world over our ears are pained and our souls made sick here in our own America with the brutal and vulgar outcry of "nigger equality." Here in Christian and Republican America, every effort of patriotism, liberty, justice and humanity, to lift the burdens imposed upon a poor race by centuries of Slavery— every effort to instruct the intelligent dark ened by years of oppression—is stigmatized by the brutal and vulgar deruagogueism of America as "Nigger Equality.'' "Nigger Equality!" Whenever I hear a man, born in this land, educated in these free schools, taught in these Christian churches, instruc ted in these varied industries, prate about "nigger equality," I accept it as a confes sion that he instinctively feels that the pc gro is his superior and demands legislation to make him his inferior. "Nigger equali ty!" It is the language of brutality and vulgarity. No gentleman in America prates about "nigger equality.'' The creature so base as to do so must be, and is, a vulgar fellow. He may live in a fine house ; ne may dress in the garb of a gentleman ; but a noble or manly sentiment never dwelt in his bosom. I remember on one occasion when a Senator was addressing the Senate and indulging in calling a negro a nigger, that Mr. Seward turned to me and said, "that man will never be President; the Kople always mean to elect a gentleman for esident; and the man who spells negro with two g's can never be President," He is a vulgar fellow who raises an outcry about "nigger equality," and he is a poor, pitiable creature who fears it. Under just, humane and equal laws, no man ahould look up to any one as his superior, and down to any one as his inferior. The poorest mau in the land is entitled to equality before the law with the wealthiest citizen of his country. His cabin may be humble; but it is as sa cred as the palace of the rich man. His wife may be clothed in rags; but she is shielded bv the same equal law that protects the jeweled bride of the richest man in all the land. His child may be a little barefoot boy, hut he is the peer of the son of wealth and pride. Away with the brutal, vulgar, wicked outcry about "nigger equality." It was born of the pit. Send it back to its native depths. Remember those other words that come to us from the heavens : "Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these, ye did it unto me.,' Walk the earth with your forehead to the skies in the con scious dignity of the equality of humanity —that you are men whom God made and for whom Christ died—and that it degrades not, but ennobles him who lifts up the sons and danghteis of toil misfortune and sorrow, of all the races and kindred of men. THE DOMESTIC WOOL TRADE* The development of the domestic wool interests during the civil war has to no in considerable degree compensated for the losses on the cotton crops. The wool trade has rapidly grown into importance, and has now become one ofthe great interests of the country. The statistice of the last five years attest its growing value as a branch of na tional iudustry. In 1860 we imported 33,- <>oo,ooo lbs., and produced 60,000,000 lbs., making making a total of 93,000,000 lbs. In 1864 our imports amounted to 75,000,000 lbs., and our product to 90,000,000 lbs., making a total of 165,070,000 lbs., being an increase of 72,000,000 lbs., or 77 per cent, in four years. The statistics of the wool crop of the year 1865, are necessarily too incomplete to admit of any thing beyond an approximate estimate. Rut the indications are, that it will amount to not less than 115,000,000 lbs. The bulk of the clip in some sections is still in the farmers' hands and the finer grades are held back for higher prices. The mar ket however is extremely active, and the crop is coming forward with a rapidity that compares most favorably with the currents of trade a few years ago. The New York sales last week amounted to not less than 750,000 lbs. in fleece ranging from sixty to eighty cents per. pound. The sales in Boston last week reached a total of 50.000 lbs. New York City is the great receiving and distributing depot for the increasing wool trade of the West. As an example of the heavy business done, it may be stated that a house in Barclay street, has now in one lot a pile of 175,000 lbs. of Michigan fine white wool. This house is probably the largest in the trade. It has now a stock of not less then 1,000,000 lbs. of foreign and native wool on haad. Other firms experi ence a corresponding activity, and it may be fairly affirmed that the trade was never so active as at the present season. It remains to he seen whether the retnai k able development of the home supply of wool will continue increasing in the ratio of the last five years. In order to determine this question, we must take into considera tion the high price and scarcity of cotton, which compelled a consumption of woolen goods and stipulated the production ly the sudden demand, which sent up rates to a high figure. It is evident, however, that while prices may and undoubtedly will rule lower, that the market will not be seriously affected by the supply of cotton for several years to come. The cotton now coming to market is the product of former crops, and will be quickly absorbed. The growing cotton crop of 1865-66 will barely yield suffi cient for home consumption. For this sup ply we may expect an active foreign compe tition, that will prevent any marked or im mediate ieduction that cn effect the pro duction of wool. In the mean time the trade will continue to obey the impulse that it has received. Accounts from the West and from New England concur in represent ing the farmers as devoting increased atten tion to the growth of sheep. In New England especially it is considered that the clip will more than cover the cost of keep ing the animals, besides the profit that may be realized from their sales to butchers from their natural increase. At present our imports are chiefly of the coarses grades that cannot be supplied at home. From these considerations it will appear that the trade Is iestiued to main tain its importance. In woolen manufac tures we are making prodigious strides ; the products amounting, last year, to $121,000,- 000. with eyery indication of a large per centage of increase for the current year. COLORS AS APPLIED TO DRESS Few people give themselves the trouble to understand the rules of color. They con sider them as belonging to an abstruse sci ence. The principles, which are supposed to be too much wrapped in mystery to be worth the trouble of acquiring by any but professional persons, are those comprehen ded in the laws of contrast of color and contrast of tone. First, as regards contrast of color. There are three primary colors —red blue and yel low. From these every other color is form ed. and each has its perfect harmony in its complementary color. The complementary of each simple color is formed by the union of the other two (and is therefore called the secondary), that is. green being the mixt ure of blue and yellow is complementary to red : violet being formed of red and blue, is complementary to yellew; and orange, a compound of red and yellow, to blue. Each of these colors, when placed near its complementary, intensifies its effect Green causes red to appear redder, blue adds a brighter tint to orange, and yellow enhances the color of violet. In other words, every color looks its purest and best when i( is beside its complementary. By means of this simple law of contrast, therefore, we have the power of imparting any tint that we choose to the complexion, and of rendering our costume agreeable to the eye by the harmony produced by prop erly contrasted colors ; and wc may learn to avoid increasing the undesirable tints of a sallow complexion by the juxtaposition of blue or violet, or rendering a florid complex ion still more high-colored by contrasting it with green. On the other hand, ladies with golden hair and clear complexions will see that they should wear blue in preference to any other color, harmonizing agreeablv, as it does, with the former, without exercising any ill effect on the latter ; while those up on whom nature has bestowed dark hair and a rosy complexion should consider green as their especial color. Very dark people may wear extremely light brown, gray or slate color with im punity. but those who have light complex ions and light brown hair should only ven ture upon pure white and the light tones of the three primaries, bearing in mind that, wherever there is agreeable contrast there is agreeable harmony.— The Boudoir. A RESTLESS SEA. The sea is not only the emblem of change it is itself the cause, directly or indirectly of nearly all the physical changes that tak, place in the world. Ascend the mountaie summit, and there, amid the crags where the eagle builds her eyrie, and the heather grows in the blue immeasurable silence in Heaven, you tread the shores of a former sea, whose shells and corals embedded in the rocks are still as perfect and beautiful as when the last retiring wave rippled over them. Descend into the stony chambers of the earth, and there in the darkness of the quarry you will see the petrified skeletons of fish that once swam in the waters, and the sands that formed the shores of unknown seas, and the undulating ripple marks left behind by the ebb and flow of long forgot ten tides. We cannot name a single spot where the sea has not some time or other been. Every rock that now constitutes the firm foundation of the earth was once dissolved in its waters, lay as mud at its bottom, or as sand and gravel along its shore. The materials of our house were once deposited in its depths, and are built upon the floor of an ancient ocean. What are now dry continents were once ocean beds ■ and what are now sea beds will be future continents. Every where the sea is still at work—en croaching upon the shore—undermining the boldest cliffs on the coasts by its own airect agency. And where it cannot reach itself, it sends its emissaries to the very heart of deserts, and the very summits of mountaiu ranges, and the very innermost recesses of continents —there to produce constant dilap idation and change. Its own waters are con fiued by the shore line; but no voice has ev er said to its fleet footed winds" and its view less vapors, "Hitherto shall ye come and no further. They rise from their ocean bed, these messengers of the sea, and pursue their flight along the sky until some lofty peak far in the interior arrests them; and they discharge their watery burden into its bosom, forming the sources of streams, and rivers, and glaciers, that carry on the work of change where the roar of the sea itself is uever heard.— McMillan in Family Treasu ry- EXERCISE AND BEAUTY. The exercise of the mind gives to its owner blessings he otherwise would not enjoy The evils of the mind, like diseases of the body, may be cured by its exercise. Let the man who is melancholy naturally, or through physical imperfection, apply him self to the contemplation of some of the numerous subjects jn nature or art, and he will find probabiy little time for thoughts of a distressing character. Like the body, the mind will expand, become healthier, more elastic, agile, stronger and buoyant by exer cise. Let us now go from mind to matter, and we what exercise does for that. How many a carefully bred lady has envied the apjiearanec of one of her own sex laboring in the fields, or attending to the duties found in the poor man's home. The well develop ed bust, the firm tread, the bright eye, the ruddy cheek and the happy smile, have all been obtained by exercise. While the fine lady has been reclining upon her couch, enervating her liody, the less luxurious wo man. from circumstances, has been compell ed to he up and stirring. She has breasted the morning breeze, and used every muscle in the duties she has been performing, be fore the other commenced her day of trifling Without exercise the bodily powers decay; with it, this is not only prevented, but the powers are great!,- increased. Let, then, the lady who values her health and her beauty labor hard for them. Let her bear in remembrance that to be beautiful she must be healthy, and to be healthy she must exercise both mind an J body. A proper amount of exertion will bring the bloom upon the cheek. To the skin, that was dry and shriveled, it will give softness and rich ness; the eye that was lustreless will be brightened, and lips that were parched and i cracked will be ruby like by its influence. VOLUME 39; NO 23. TAKE IT EASY. A few days since, Constable Judd was called upon to fulfill a writ of ejectment issued by a son of the Emerald Isle, against a fellow countryman. Dan, who never waits for persuasion to do his duty, instant ly called on Pat, and found bim seated in the house named in the writ, enjoying a "dudeen." "Good morning, Pat," says Dan. pulling out his writ. "The top 'o the morning to yourself," re plied Pat, undisturbed. "Patrick. I have business with you," continued the constable. "Bedad, and shure ye have ; an' why would ye be aftlier calling on me sir ?'' "I have a writ here commanding me to eject you and your goods from this house. It's rather an unpleasant duty, but—" "Ah '. is it Michael O'Cnlligan that or dered ye shure ?" "Yes sir ; Michael is the man." "An' did he pay the costs, Misther Con stable ? ' "Certainly—we always demand advanced costs in these cases.'' "Thin ye've been paid for ye're work shure ?" "Certainly." "Thin ye can do ; divil a bit will Pat rick O'brien stan' in the way of a man's working for his pay." This rather astonished Pan, who expect ed, a3 usual in such cases, to meet with se rious resistance. He doffed his coat, and after an hour's hard labor succeeded in re moving the Irishman's household goods into the steet. After securing the house from improper intrusion, Dan, fatigued with the labors he had performed, started away. In bidding him good bye, Pat, who was seated on a part of his goods, with the "du deen" still in his mouth remarked, "An I am much obliged to ye, sir, for sa ving me all the trouble." "How ?" "Faith, an' wasn't I going to move ? an' wasn't I jist takin off me coat to lug out the duds, sir, when you came an' carried 'em all down for me, without chargin' me a Hint, at all? I'm nyjch obliged to ye. sir, an' hope ye'll call agin when Patrick O'Brien wants his goods carried down stairs, sir." Dan suddenly had business in another place, though the joke was so good he could not help telling it afterwards. CHARACTER. Character is the main thing, and to be the best man is better than to have the name of it. There are many manufactured reputa tions. We cannot doubt that, when we ex amine the list of famous men. We wonder what has made them famous, when we re flect how weak and poor their manhood is. How many we find who seem to be constant ly itching for notoriety, who seem to think that the world will forget them, unless they make themselves prominent upon every op- Sortunity, and are constantly on the alert to nd a place in which they can introduce their flux of words that attention may be drawn to them. It is not well for any young man to look out upon life as only the stage on which he is to play his part, and catch the applause of his fellows. It is his duty to be true and manly wherever he may be, let applause come or not, as it will. The world is not so near-sighted or forgetful as it seems. It has a keen eye and a tenacious memory for every thing that is spoken, and it will never let die what is worthy to live. It may do unjustly at first, but it does not neglect to have justice done at the last. Let no one think that his life is unappreciated, or com- Elain that he is neglected. No man will ever e neglected who gives his fellow-men any thing worth taking care of, and the very humblest virtue will be preserved as a bless ing. It is well sometimes, that the world may seem to forget, and it may be that a man is so just and true as to be above the world's commendation. When Cato the censor, lived, many ignoble men had statues erected to their memory. To those who expressed their wonder to the virtuous old Roman that he had none, he said, "He would much rather that it should be asked why he had not a statue than why he had one." Yet it must be remembered that a man must be a Cato to say that with becom ing truthfulness 1 A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT. —Shortly be fore the departure of the lamented Heber for India, he preached a sermon which con tained this beautiful sentiment: "Life bears us on like the stream of a mighty river. Our boat first glides down the narrow channel—through the playful murmurings of the little brook and the wind ings of its grassy borders. The trees shed their blossoms over our young heads; the flowers seem to offer themselves to the young hands we are happy in hope, and grasp eagerly at the beauty around us —but the stream hurries on, and still our hands are empty. Our course in youth, and manhood is along a wilder and deeper flood, amid ob jects iwore striking and magnificent. We are animated at the moving pictures and en joyments and industry around us; we are excited at some short lived disappointment. The streams bear us on, and our joys and griefs are alike left behind us. We may be shipwrecked, but we cannot be delayed; whether rough or smooth, the river hastens to its home, till the roar of the ocean is in our ears, and the tossing of the waves be neath our feet, and the floods are lifted up around us, and we take our leave of earth and its inhabitants, until of our future voy age there is no witness save the Infinite and Eternal." WHAT WHISKEY DOES.—It meets many a luckless traveler on the great turnpike of life, and robs him of character and friends. It intrudes into happy families, saps the foundation of their peace, and drives them homeless, wretched and forlorn, to subsist on the cold charity of an unfeeling world. It meets a mechanic and causes him to neg lect his business drives away his customers, and reduces him to a state of wretchedness and misery. It meets a farmer, and soon briars cover the face of his farm, his fences are broken down, his habitation becomes leaky, and the windows stuffed with rags. Finally it sells his farms, and whiskey sell ers pocket the money, while the heart bro ken and sickly wife, with her little children around her crying for bread is turned out of doors. But where is that once thrifty far mer, kind and affectionate father ? \ onder in the street a miserable wretch, wandering from grocery r,o grocery pawning his coat for whiskey. And the vampires who hide themselves behind screens and blinds, are willing to take the last cent and then kick their miserable victim into the street be cause he ha s no more money. ROOM FOR ALL. —Though the world is wide enough for every one to take a little, and there appears no reason why we should jostle and make one another unhappy as we pass along, vetao it is; we are continually thwarting and crossing each other at right angles ; and some lose all memory of tho temper that goverged at first setting ont.

A short distance from the city of Mont gomery, in the State of Alabama; on one of the s f age roads running from that city, lived a jolly landlord by the name of Ford. It was a bitter, stormy night, or rather morning about two hours before daylight, that he was aroused from his slumbers by loud shouting and knocks at his door.—He turned out but sorely against bis will, and demanded what was the matter. —It was dark as tar, and seeing no one he cried out ' Who are you there?" "Burder, and Yancey, and Elmore from Montgomery," was the answer, "on our way to attend court. We are benighted, and want to stay all night." "Very sorry I can't accommodate you so far; do anything to oblige you; but that's impossible." The lawyers, for they were three of the smartest iu the State, and all ready to drop down with fatigue, held a brief consultation and then as they could do no better, and were too tired to go another step, they as ked: "Well, can't you stable our horses and give us chairs and a good fire until morn ing?" "Oh, yes, gentleman, can do that." Our learned and legal friends were soon drying their wet clothes by a bright lire as they composed themselves the few remain ing hours in their chairs dozing and nodding and now and then swearing a word or two of impatience, as t hey waited till daylight did appear. The longest night has a morn ing, and at last the sun came along, and then in due time a good breakfast made its appearanee; and to the surprise of the law yers, who thought the house was crowded with guests, none but themselves sat down to partake: "Why, Ford. I thought your house was so full you couldn't give us a bed last night? said Burder. "I didn't say so," replied Ford. "You didn't? What in the name of thunder did you say?" "You asked me to let you stay hevc all night and I said it would be impossible, for the night was nigh unto two thirds gonewhetiyou came. If you only wsnted beds, why on earth didn't you say so?" The lawyers had to give it up. Three of them on one side, and the landlord alone had beat them all. A MOTHER who was in the habit of asking her children before they retired at night, what they had done to make others happy, found her two twin daughters silent. Ihe question was repeated. "I can remember nothing good all this day, dear mother; on ly one of my school-mates was happy be cause she had gained the head of the class, and I smiled on her and ran to kiss her ; so she said I was good. That is all, dear mother." The other spoke still more tim idly. "A little girl, who sat with me on the bench at school, has lost a little brother. I saw that while she studied her lesson, she hid her face in her book and wept. I felt . sorry, and laid my face on the same book and j wept with her. Then she looked up and | was comforted, and put her arms around my ' neck ; but I do not know why she said I had done her good." "Clome to my arms, my darlings, " said the mother; "to rejoice with those that rejoice, and ween with those that weep, is to obey our blessea Redeemer." IN LOVE. —An editor out West has fallen in love —just hear what he says: "We love to see the blooming rose, in all it 3 beauty dressed: we love to hear our friends disclose the emotions of the breast. We love to see the cars arrive, well laden, at our door; wc love to aee our neighbors thrive, and love to bless the poor. We love to see domestic life with uninterrupted joys; we love to see. a happy wife with lots of girls and boys. We love all these —yet far above all that we ever said, we love what every printer loves, to have subscription. paid .' The words in italic® we love too.'' W£A certain minister lately paid a visit to a lady of his acquaintance, who was new ly married, and who was attired in the mod ern indecent fashion. After the usual com pliments he familiarly said : "I hope you have got a good husband madam ?" "Yes sir," replied she, and a good man too.' 1 "I don't know what to say about his !;oodness," added the minister, rather blunt y, "for my bible teaches me that a good man should clothe his wife, but he lets you go half-naked!" A CLERK in a New York mercantile es tablishment relates a colloquy from which a sprightly youth in the same store came out second best. A poor boy came aiong with his machine, inquiring: "Any knives or scissors to grind?'' "Don'tthink we have," replied theyonng gentleman, facetiously; "but can't you shar pen wits?'' "Yes, if you've got any," was the prompt response, leaving the interrogator rather at a loss to produee the article. A BEAUTIFUL IDEA. —That was a beauti ful idea in the mind of a little girl, who, on beholding a rosebush, where, on tho top most stem, the oldest rose was fading, whilst below and around it three beautiful crimson buds were iust unfolding their charms, at once artlessly expressed toher brother, "See, Willie, these little buds have just awakened in timo to kiss their mother before she dies!" KNOWLEDGE of the world is regarded as a useful if not an elegant accomplishment; but this advantage, like every other good, is mixed with some alloy ; the acute obser ver of men and manners cannot but be dis gusted with the scenes that take place around him, and his knowledge may at last have the effect of souring his own disposi tion. VefA young lady rebuked by her mother for kissing her lover, justified the act by quoting the pasvsagc—"Whatever ye would that men should ao unto you do ye even so to them." the collection apparatus resembled a box, on its being handed to him, whispered in the carrier's ear that he was not naturalized and and could not vote.
