CORN-FLOWERS. From dawt. till dusk, we followed up The reapers through the wheat; And tied the rustling corn that lay Like sunshine at our feet. Kate Ikughed with Willie all day long, And Kate sang merrily ; Ho said she sang like any bird And then she laughed to inc. For Kate he reaped the poppies red That nodded in the corn ; For me he broke a pale sweet rose, And pulled away the thorn. Ho said the flowers were like her check ; My heart was sore all day ; And when he held the rose to me, I turned my face away. The blue shade fell; and by the stile At dusk we sat to rest; Through tears, I watched the nugols'-wings That flickered in the West. They gossiped and I heard them say : "Oh, she is never seen When Kate is near! Sho's slight and pale. And Kate is like a Queen." And they went gaily by the field , And I, to hide my pain, Slipped by the dusky stile, And went home by the lane. I heard his step — I would not stay— And when he came so near 1 felt him breathe—l would not look, And dried a silly tear. Then bitterly ho spoke. He held The rose I would not wear : And said : "Give it Kate : she twined The poppies in her hair !" ••Oh hear me, now, below the moon That watches from above ! 1 jest with merry Kate," he said,' "But never ipcak of love." "And what is Kate between us two ? I love but you alone : Oh ! take the sigh, and take my heart : Since, lore, it is your own !" I took the rose. A little bird Sang out a song for me ; And broadly smiled the harvest moon, Our happy looks to see.

Correspondence of the London Times. PARIS, September 28. It is not a great many years ago since in terviews between the principal European potentates were very much in fashion and of frequent occurrence. At first they excited a stiong interest in the public mind. Peo ple could not imagine that great sovereigns met and conversed tete-a-tete without ex changing most important communications, forming vast plans, or entering into solemn engagements. An interview was no sooner over than the journals of Europe were full of wise conjectures, and even of positive as sertions, of what had passed there. After a time, when people saw that nothing came of meetings supposed to he pregnant with such great resolves, combinations and even ... the interests felt very much subsided, and the world ended by understanding that in these days of facile locomotion emperors, kings and queens might exchange visits or make appointments without affairs of State coming under discussion. There arc other interviews on record much more momentous in their consequences than of those amica ble encounters of crowned beads. The name of l'lolll biers will occur to everybody. If all were known, it would perhaps prove that tbe meeting of the French Emperor and Count Bismark at Biarritz also deserves a place upon the li.-t of important inter views. There are persons in Paris, and probablj a great many throughout France, who maintain and are convinced that Count Bismarck promised the Emperor an exten sion of frontier in the. dilution of the Rhine A LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUOATioa^nm^^uL as the price of his complete neutrality in the contemplated war, and of his not even form in? an army of observation in the direction of Germany. Such persons, of course, abuse Count Bismarck for having broken his word. His end once gained, they say. Austria once prostrate, and the military power of Prussia established as at least on a par with the first in Europe, he broke his pledge and would give nothing. "Take Belgium, if you please, annex the canton of Geneva, if you think proper, but of German land Dot a foot can bo yielded up." Count Bismarck has adopted the saying of Bica soli when he was taxed with the intention of ceding Sardinia or part of the Riviera to France; he sees a great deal of land to take, but not an acre' to give up. It is very doubtful, however, whether lie be not un justly accused when he is charged with hav ing broken his promise in the case above ci ted. _My belief is that the Emperor outwit ted himself rather than that he was outwit ted by Bismarck. The Prussian Minister wont 10 Biarritz most anxious to secure mat neutrality of France which should enable him to carry out his ambitious designs, and to make the war, for which he at last took a pretext since proved as unsubstantial and baseless as that advanced by the wolf for his attack upon the lamb. At that time the Emperor might almost have made his own terms, sure of their acceptance. Bismarck was pliant, conciliatory—in fact, suppliant. He actually bored ar.d persecuted the Em peror by his persistence, but he could not get his augu-t interlocutor to come to any sort of verbal agreement. No compact was made, I have good reason for thinking, and no equivalent for French neutrality definitely stipulated. The Emperor listened, twirled his moustache, but was impenetrable and taciturn. Still, although he avoided com mitting himself, the impression upon his mind seems to have been that Count Bis marck was bound to certain concessions, in France, when the time came, acted in the way that Prussia desired. Bismarck, on the other hand, obtaining no pledge, held him self in no way bound by any offers he might have made. There was no bargain, in fact, th' Emperor hod never said l 'JJoue." And when the victory had been gained by Prus sia, and the claim for tithes was put in, it was rejected without breach of promise. It was sharp practice, if you please, on the part of Bismarck, but the Emperor ought better to have known with whom lie was dealing. But, as the Prussian Minister feels that his work is not yet done, knows that he has many enemies in Germany, and many difficulties still to surmount, and, final Iv, notwithstanding the needle gun, thinks it much more expedient to be on good than on bad terms with France, it is still thought by many here that he will make concessions of some kind. I am ineiedulous of their including a cession of German territory, even though it were hut the frontier of 1814. It would be too great a blow to his prestige as a conqueror, too unpopular a step in Prussia, and, indeed, throughout Germany. SIGNS OF CHARACTER. "Trifles make up the sum of hutnnn tilings," and it is surprisinf how readily an experienced eye can read character from the slighest and most insignificant data. Don't you believe it, reader? Just allow us to give you a few whi pew 011 the saoject—a peep, through our own special opera-glass, at the world around u-c When you meet a young man with plenty of bad cologne on his pocket-handkerchief, and a stale odor of cigar smoke in his hair, you may he sure that he was bold enough to contract a very bad habit, and not bold enough frankly to take the consequences of it. In cigar vs. cologne, the plaintiff has the best of it. When you see a woman with her shawl fastened all awry, and m -"'rd' fractures in her gloves, it is a pretty sure ir x that she reads novels and lies in bed late ola morning. If you happen to be wife-bunt ing, don't be mislead by her bright eyes and cherry cheeks. A trifl who cannot epcnvl time to keep herself looking noat, ought not to r,o iritti the care or shirt-buttons and cravat-ends, to say nothing of the hus band appended to these articles! When a gentleman hands tip your faro in the stage as politely as that of the gorge ously dressed neighbor, without reference to the fact that you wear calico and cotton gloves rest assured that be is lacking in no courtesies to his own wife at home. And if a lady—no. a woman —acceptshis politeness as a mere matter of course, with 110 "Thank you," nor acknowledging smile, then you may conclude that she has entered into soci ety on the bubbles of Petroleum —not on any merit- of her own. When a lady—no, once again—a female —goes to the grocery in a rustling silk dress, and does her morning shopping in diamond rings and a cashmere hawl, it is a sign of 1 one of two things: either she does not know any better, or she has no other place in which to display her finery. When the "nice young man," who is pay ing you particular attention, speaks shortly to his mother, or omits to pay his sisters the little attentions that come so gracefully from man to woman, it is apt to be a sign that his wife must put up with the same system of snubbing and neglect as soon as the first gloss of the wedding suit is gone. When a lady finds "Macaulay' B History" a dreadful bore, and "skips" the historical part of Scott's novels, it is not an unfair in ference that her brain is not very fully furn ished. When a gentleman cannot talk fluently ou the great subjects of ancient and modern in terest, but polkas "chaimingly," we may conclude that his brains —such as they arc have all settled down to his agile heels. Now we do not disapprove of dancing, yet we must confess to a preference for having the brains a little higher up. When a girl entertains you with spicy rid icule of her gentleman friends, "showing up" their various imperfections and weak nesses, take your hat twxl go. If you need an}* cbmfort, there will be sufficient in the fact that you will undoubtedly furnish your share of amusement to the next arrival! Put not your faith (speaking from a fem inine standpoint) in gentlemen that wear diamond scarf-pins and spend their leisure time 011 hotel steps, for it is mote than pro bable they belong to the extensive class of society for whom Satan is popularly suppos ed "to find some mischief still!' to keep their "idle hands" in occupation. Better lav ish your smiles on the sturdy young car penter in shirt-sleeves and overalls, who works by the day; it will be more profitable in the long run. When a woman finds Sunday "the longest day in the week," it is a sign that there was some woful deficiency in her early religious training. When a man speaks irreverently of sacred j things, let it suffice as a warning to trust him in no single matter. No matter how bril liant may be his talents, how fair his profes sions, there is a false ring to his metal. Don't trust him!— Phmtolv<jtoil Joitnuil. BEDFORD. PH.. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 36, 1866. COUNT BISMARCK'S lI.LNESI. The London Telegraph Fays that the eon plaint from which Count Bismarck is sulfir ing assumes the form of a swelling in tie blood-vessels of the head. His physicians have prescribed absolute rest as affordirg the only chance of recovery. A correspone ent of the same journal thus describes the Count's appearance at the Berlin fete* : "On the extreme right; in tho white uni form of a major ol" the Landwshr cuirasi siers, a broad-shouldered, short necked mar sat mounted on a brown bay mare. Very still and silent the rider sits, waiting patient ly till the interview between the King and the civic worthies in concluded. The skin of the face is parchment colored, with dull leaden blood-snot eyes: tho veins about the forehead arc swollen; tne greatheavy helmet presses upon the wrinkled brows. The man looks as if he had risen from a sick bed which lie never ought to have left. That is Count Bismarck Schonhausc-n. prime Min ister <"if I'ruaaia. Yesterday he was said iu be well nigh dying; ucly rumors floated about the town; his doctors declared that rest, absolute rest, was the only remedy upon whieh they could base their hopes for his recovery, But to day it was important that the Premier should show himself. The iron will, which had never swerved before auy obstacle, was not to be daunted by phys ical pain, or to be swayed by medical re monstrances. And so, to the astonishment of all those who knew how critical his state of health had been but a few hours before, Count Bismarck put on his uniform and rode out to-d.ay to take his place in the roy al cortege. Even now the man who has made a united Germany a possibility, and has raised Prussia from the position of a second-rate power to the highest rank amongst continental empires, is but scantily honored in his own country ; and the cheers with which he was greeted were tame com pared with those which welcomed the Gen erals who had been the instruments of the work his brain had planned. But to those, I think, who looked at all beyond the excite ment of the day, the true hero of that bril liant gathering was neither king nor princes of the blood royal, Generals nor soldiers, but the sallow, livid-looking statesman, who was there in spite of racking pain and doc tors' advice and the commonest caution, iu order that his work might be completed to the end." The Poll Mall Gazette , of September 24, has the following : "Count Bismarck's ill ness is of a serious character. To-day (as we learn by a private telegram) he is better; but it need be doubted no longer that he is much shaken. The Count suffers from some disorder of the brain, we believe. He will soon take leave of absence for about ten weeks, but his present condition is such as to create doubts whether he will ever resume his official labors. Monsieur do Schleintz, who was Minister in 18G0, and M. de Sav igny, who is regarded at Berlin as a very rising man, are already spoken of as likely to succeed to the high office which Count Bismarck has so illustriously filled. M. de Savigny was Prussian Envoy to the Bund up to the outbreak of tho war. and took a considerable part in tho recent peace negoti ations." IIO\V OREGON TERRITORY WAS SVVEU TO THE UNITED STATES. We presume it is not generally known to our citizens on the Pacific coast, nor to many people in the Atlantic States, how near wo came to losing, through executive incompetence, our just title to the whole immense region lying west of the Rocky Mountains- Neither has due honor been accorded to the brave and patriotic man through whose herculean exertions this great loss and sacrifice was prevented The facts were briefly aud freshly brought out during the recent meeting at I'ittsfield of the "American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions," in the course of an elaborate paper, read by Mr. Treat, one of the secretaries of the board, on the "Inci dental Results of Missions." In the year 1830 the American board undertook to< ft.iljli-h a mission nmougtlre Indians beyond the llocKy uouutuino. Two mi -iouaries, Rev. Mr. Spalding and Dr. Whitman with their wives—the first white women who ever made that perilious jour ney—passed over the mountains with in credible toil, to reach Oregon, the field of their labor. After remaining there for a few years, Dr. Whitman began to under stand the object of the misrepresentations of the Hudson's Bay company, lie saw, contrary to the reiterated public statements of the company: 1. That the land was rich in minerals. 2. That emigrants could cross the Rocky Mountains in wagons, a feat which they had constantly asserted to be impossible. 3. That the Hudson's Bay Company was planning to secure the sole occupancy of the whole of that country by obtaining a surren der of the American title into the hands of the British Government. Seeing these things, but not knowing bow very near the British scheme was te its ac complishment, Dr. Whitman resolved, at every hazard, to prevent its consummation. Ae undertook, in 1842, to make a journey on horseback to Washiugton, to lay the whole matter closely before our Government by personal representations. Being a man of great physical strength and an iron con stitution, he accomplished the long and perilous journey, and reached Washington in safety. The remainder of the story we will relate in the language of the Boston Congrcgationalist "Reaching Washing ton, he sought an interview with President Tyler, and Daniel Webster, then Secretary of State, and unfolded to thein distinctly what was going on. llcre he learned that a treaty was almost ready to be signed, in which all this Northwestern territory was to be given up to England, amj we were to have in compensation greater facilities in catching fish. Dr. Whitman labored to convince Mr. Webster that he was the vic tim of false representations with regard to the character of the regiou, and told him that he intended to return to Oregon with a train of emigrants. Mr. Webster, looking him full iu the eye asked him if he would pledge himself to conduct a train of emi grants there in wagons. He promised that he would. Then, said Mr. Webster, this treaty shall be suppressed. Dr. Whitman in coming on had fixed upon certain rallying points where emigrants might assemble to accompany hint on his return. He found nearly i,OUU ready for the journey. After long travel, they reaced Fort Hall, a British military station, and the commandant under took to frighten the emigrants by telling them that it was not possible to go through with wagons; but Dr. Whitman reassured them, and led them through to the Colum bia, and the days of the supremacy of the Hudson Bay Company over Oregon were numbered. Iteg'"A blue tulip, for which millions were offered during the tulipomania of a centu ry ago, has been produced by a French gar dener, and will be on exhib' f ion at the I'aris exposition. CLIMATIC CHANGES IN RUSSIA. All changes are sudden and complete in llussia. Summer goes in a day, and winter conies. One may cross a river in a boat at night, and walk back on the ice in the morn- , ing. Doors and windows stand wide open in summer for a breath of cool air, but in winter the cool air is barred out with double windows, triple doors and heated stoves. Ho in regard to clothing; thin linen summer habiliments are thrown aside in a day and the reign of furs begins. Wheels are upon all carriages of every sort one day; snow comes during the night, and the wheels all vanish; in'the morning nothing is seen but sledges. The transitions from class to class arc of the same character. One class is of gentlemen and barons; the next step is to monsliicks, peasant serf® who live on black bread and salt, seasoned with sour cabbage and garlic; and who are covered with a dirty sheepskin instead of being clothed in ermine, sables and fine linen. Cronstadt is reached from Petersburg by steamers, in one week; in the ~rV tho traveler rides over the same water wnh three horses Dciore nun. me people will leave a hot bath, and plunge into a hole made in the ice; they leave a room heated to seventy or eighty degrees, and follow a funeral for six miles, with no covering on their heads, in a frost twenty-five degrees below zero; they will fast seven weeks on cabbage and garlic, and then guzzle them selves in a few hours into the hospital, take cholera, and die. Diseases are generally swift and fatal—today well, to morrow dead. More than two-thirds of the cholera cases die. Women <ire interesting, plump and marriageable at fourteen; they are shriveled i at thirty. The Hulscmann Letter. It is still an open question whether Mr. Everett or Mr. Webster wrote the famous Ilulsemann letter which the latter, as Sec retary of State, sent to the Austrian Minis ter, and which for its hold defiance and con tempt of Austria, and pithy utterance, de lighted Americans and startled Europeans. Mr. Everett's friends insist, on his own authority, we suppose, that he prepared it for his friend; but Mr. Webster's admirers and confidants are even more sure it was his own. The style was not the or dinary. legitimate one of either ; but it was more that of Mr. Webster than of Mr. Everett. A correspondent of the National Intettigenccr, who has been roving about Mr. Webster's birth place and home at Franklin N. H., furnishes this particular evidence of Mr. Webster.® authority of the document: "When Mr. Webster was making his annual visit here in 1851, after the Tetter had been communicated to the Austrian Minister in December, 1850, Worcester Weh-ter, a favorite cousin of the great state-man, and Judge Nesmith, made him a visit together, and while there, the letter becoming a subject of conversation, Wor cester W ebstcr, standing near the table in the east room, in the presence of Daniel Webster, who was sitting at the table, said to Judge Nesmith, This is the table upon which the Hulseman letter was written, and there ai the inkstand and the pen used in writing it.' Judge Nesuiith asked how long it to k to write it, and Worcester Web ster replied. About two hours. Mr. Web st; r walked the room and dictated it to a copyist, who took it down and it was revi sed and finished the next forenoon.' Wor cester Webster and his wife had been on a visit in the Eluis farm a few days previous Ito this ocemreneo. A short time after wards 1 was at the Elms farm with Judge Nesinith, when he stated to me, in the presence of Mr. Webster, the samf facts as to the Hulsemen letter, the table and pen, while we were in the ca-,1 room, which had been .-toted to him as above explained. Daniel Webster never had the reputation of appropriating- to hi own credit the work of otlrersj and rinse wh-. knew him best will, in the face of these thoroughly attested facts, be the last to believe that letter to have originated in any other mind than his own." What Kowopapcio du Oil Nothing. The following article should be read and pondered well by every man, who takes a newspaper without paying for it: My ob servation enables me to state as a fact, that publishers of newspapers are more poorly rewarded than any other class of men in the United State-- who invest an equal amount of labor capital and thought. They are expected to do more service for less pay, to stand more sponging and "dead heading," to puff and defend more people without fee or hope of reward, than any other class. They credit wider and longer: get oftener cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss, are oftener the victim of misplaced confidence than any other calling in the community. People pay a printer's hill with more reluc tance than any other. It goes harder with them to expend a dollar ou a valuable news paper than ten on a needless gewgaw ; yet everybody avails himself of the editor's pen and the printer's ink. How many professional and political rep utations and fortunes have been made and sustained by the friendly though unrequited pen of the editor ? How many embryo towns and cities have been brought into notice and puffed into prosperity by the press ? How many railroads, now in .suc cessful operation, would have foundered but for the "lever that moves the world?" In short, what branch of industry and activity has not been prompted, stimulated and de fended by the press ? And who has tendered it more than a mis erable pittance for its service ? The bazaars of fashion and the haunts t>f dissipation and appetite are thronged with an eager crowd, bearing gold in their palms, and the com modities there vended are sold at enormous profits, though intrinsically worthless, and paid for with more scrupulous punctuality ; while the counting room of the newspaper is the seat of Jewing, cheapening trade orders and pennies. It is made a point of honor to liquidate a grog bill, but not of dis honor to repudiate a printer's bill. read or sew with any light from the window or a lamp falling directly upon the eyes. Millions have lost their eyesight from non observance of this simple rule. It is founded on scientific principles which we will not take room to explain at length. The light direct upon the eyes con tracts their pupil so that not enough rays are admitted from the printed pages or fab rics sewed, to make them plain to the sight. Always sit so that the light from the win dow or lamp shall fall over your shoulder, usually over the left one, as it will not then be obstructed by the right hand in sewing. Another advantage, and a great one, is that when facing the light one naturally inclines forward to save the eves. This cramps the chest and lungs, and is injurious to the health, but with the light from the side, or over the shoulder, one inclines to sit in a much more upright and healthful position. Every one who follows this suggestion, will ; find it conduce to comfort, health, and good ' vision. TOLIHE 39; XO 47.

To plunge away beyond the light : We felt we should be pitied. Bv.t on wo went and thoughts of ill Flew off while we were flyin', And each one from a car-edge cried Behold all this is mine ! Not only pleasure did we hope To find for us in store, We-sought as well a higher path. To get a little lore. We found a pencil vaii*—l state What no one will deny—for Although there was no lack of slate, 'Twas not a place to sigh for. The star lamps gleamed before our eyes— What constellation finer — Though borne by many a bearish chap Who was no worse a miner? And so we studied o'er the mine While bright ideas budded, And when we turned away we knew The mine was much ore-studded. And when we saw daylight again Delight did us unfold Although we found each one had got A very little coaled. For we were glad that no mishap To sorrow had been doornin' us, And that no wayward mass of coal Had sealed our fate by toombin' us. A TRAVELLER'S EXPERIENCE OF WOMAN. I have observed, among all nations, that the women ornament themselves more than the men; that wherever found they are the same kind, civil, obliging, humane, tender be ings; that they are ever inclined to he gay and cheerful, timorous and modest. They do not hesitate, like men, to perform a hospitable action; not haughty, nor arrogant, nor supercilious, hut full of courtesy, fond of society; industrious, economical, ingeni ous; more liable iu gciiC ral to err than man, but in general also more virtuous, and per forming more good actions than he. I never addressed myself in the language of decency and friendship to a woman, whether civilized or savage, without receving a de cent and friendly answer. With a man it has been otherwise. In wandering over the barren plains of inhospitable Denmark, through honest Sweden, frozen Lapland, rude and churlish Finland, unprincipled Russia, and the wide-spread regions of the wandering Tartar, if hungry, dry, cold, wet or sick, woman has ever been friendly to me and uniformly so; and to add to this virtue, so worthy of the appellation of benevolence, these actions have been performed in so free and so kind a manner, that, if I was dry, I drank the sweetest draught, and if hungry ate the coarsests morsel with a double relish, Women's Rights The Marina (Fla.) Courier , in comment ing upon the inherent rights of women, says: "Men and oaks were made to be twined, and women and ivy were made to twine ibout them. Though an equality were to be established between calico and cassimere to-morrow, it would not be a week before all the officers would be men, and all the sol diers women. Females are perfectly wrong to go olicaU pi milled tlie Bleu gu rum. Oct firo to a steamboat and not a yard of dimi ty will budge till cassimere sets the exam ple. So long as the men cling to the vesael, the women will cling to the men. But if the men plunge overboard, chemisettes plunge too. As we said before, reformers may prate as they will about equal rights, but they can't alter the regulations of God. It is as impossible for women to cut them selves loose from men as it is for steel dust to free itself from its attachment to the mag net." An exchange remarks on the above : "So far as our observation extends it leads us to believe, on the contrary, that the cassimere generally follows the calico; and as the Courier expresesit the sterner sex has little to brag of. "We make a vow to break her chain, And keep it—till we meet again. The Virtues of Borax. The excellent washerwomen of Holland and Belgium, who "get up their linen so beautifully white, use refined borax as a washing powder, instead of soda, in the proportion of cne large handful of powder to about ten gallons ofboiling water. They save in soap nearly one half. All the large washing establishments adopt the same mode. For laces, cambric and &c., an ex tra quantity of powder is used , for crino lines, required to be made, a strong solution is necessary. Borax being a neutral salt, does not in the slightest degree injure the texture the of the linen, its effects is to soften the hardest water, and therefore it should be kept on every toilet table. To the taste it is rather sweet; it is used for clean ing the hair ; it is an excellent dentrifrioe, and in hot countiies it is used, in combina tion with tartaric and bicarbonate of soda, as a cooling beverage. Good tea cannot be made with hard water. All water may be made soft by adding a teaspoonful of borax powder to an ordinary sized kettle of water, in which it should boil. The saving in the quantity of tea used will be at least one- A GREAT PHILOSOPHER says in one of his letters: "I have told yon of the Spaniard who always put on his spectacles when he was about to eat cherries, that they might look the bigger and moro tempting. In like manner T make the most of my enjoyments; and though I do not cast my cares away, I pack them in as little compass as I can, and carry them as conveniently as I can for my self, and never let them annoy others." "WHAT can a man do?" asked a green ,un, when the Sheriff was seen coming up to him with a writ in his hand. "Apply the remedy," said another gruffly. "Apply the remedy! what remedy?" "Heeling remedy, you silly goose—run like a quartern horse!" t@rA Printer's con: Why is a man char ged with a crime like type?

The inhabitants of the place were exasperated against her. Some witnesses deposed that they had seen her walk in air, and with her feet upwards and her head downward. Lord Mansfield heard the evidence with great tranquility, and perceiving the temper of the people, whom it would not have been prudent to ir ritate, he thus addressed them; —"I do not doubt that this woman has walked in the air with her feet upwards, since you have all seen it; but she has the honor to be born in England as well as you and I, and conse- Siently cannot be judged but by the laws of e country, nor punished but in proportion as she hasviolatad them. Now Iknow not one law that forbids walking in the air with the feet upward. We have all a right to do it with impunity; I see no reason, there fore, for this prosecution, and this poor woman may return home when she pleases." Her life was saved. A STREAK AHEAD OF NOAH. —A dis pute once arose between two Scotchmen, named Campbell and McLean, upon the an tiquity of their frmilies. The latter would not allow that the Campbells had any right to rank with the McLean's in antiquity, who he insisted, were in existence as a clan since the beginning of the world. Campell had a little more biblical knowledge than his an tagonist and asked him if the clan of the Mcleans was before the flood. "Flood! what flood?" asked McLean. "The flood, you know, that drowned all the world but Noah and his family, and his flock," said Campbell. "Pooh! you and your flood, " said Mc- Lean, "my clan was afore the flood." "I have not read in my Lible," said Camp bell, "of the name of McLean going into Noah's ark." "Noah's ark !" retorted 3lcLcan, in con tempt "who ever heard of a McLean that hadn't a boat of his ain ?'' IMPATIENT HF.AREHS. —One Sabbath morning the Kev. Richard Watson, when engaged in Preaching, had not proceeded far in his discourse when be observed an individual in a pew just before him rise from his seat, and turn round to look at the clock in front of the gallery as if the service were a weariness to him. The unseemly act cal led forth the following rebuke: ' A remark able change,'' said the speaker, "has taken place among the people of this country in regard to the public service of religion. Our forefathers put their clocks on tne outside of their places of worship, that they might not be too late in their attendance. 3\ e have transferred them to the inside of the house of God, lest we should stay too long in the service. A sad. and ominous change." IT is uo secret that the marriage of Sena tor Sumner is strongly opposed by the lady's i friends, whose aristocratic prejudices will not be satisfied even with a senator and states man of power and fame, if his fortune be only moderate aud his descent not from the New England Brahmins; and the fact that the bride relinquishes the interest on a for tune by giving away her hand adds the spice of heroism to the event. By the way, apro pos of Mr Sumner, an old story is told of his father, who was a county sheriff, and as suave and polite as his son is brusque and arrogant. Sheriff Sumner once had to offi ciate at an execution. When the prayers were said and the noose fixed, he bowed very low to the condemned, aud urbanely said, " Good morning, sir," before he pres sed his foot upon the spriDg which launched the man into eternity. THE WOMEN OF THE SOI Tll.— The Nor folk (Va.) Old Dominion has the following: Southern ladies do not talk to anything like the sane extent as in former years. What does it mean?

Levity is not as wide spread. Men and women look more in earnest, and work harder, do more carrying out the end of their being. We may be wrong, but such are our convictions, in spite of the wickedness abroad in the land. GENERAL MANTEUFFEL. had not the grat ification of playing the brag over every one at Frankfort. lie wishes to impose upon the American Ambassador in that city, and make him permit Prussian soldiers being billeted upon him. Manteuffel said he could not help it. ."Very well," replied Mr. Murphy, putting on his hat, "I have only to reply that the American fleet is in the Bal tic." The haughty Manteuffel forgot his inability at once, and no American had any Prussians quartered upon him afterward. A REMINDER OF SHERMAN'S RAID. —The Richmond (Virginia) Dispatch says that on Thursday last eight hundred tons of rails from the Charlotte and South Carolina Rail road were received at the Richmond and Danville Railroad depot, to be sent to the Tredegar Iron Works. The rails were some of those destroyed by Sherman s raid, and some of them were tied in a bow-knot, and in the center of one coil of iron bar was the trunk of a tree, around which it had been wrapped. The iron will be worked up again into rails. Humors ol the Canvass. The Butternut crop in this part of the State is prodigious. An old Copperhead elimed a tree recently, and was thus interro gated by a Blacksnake : "Copperhead, Copperhead, what do you fee?" To which the old "Cop" answered : "Butternuts, Butternuts as thick as can bo." Not very good poetry, but sound truth. —lndiana Journal.
