The subject of this sketch was born in
the city of Lancaster, Pa., in the year
1.817. He attended school for a short
time in his native town, but his advanta
ges in this respect were very small, Mr.
Forney being emphatically a • self-educa
ted man.
At :he age of 13 or 'l4 years he took a
pt,,iti,u in a store iu Laneasterovhere he
remained but a short time, until he en
tered the office of the Lancaster Journal
as a printer. This paper was then one
of the most influential Democratic jour.
uals in the State. Its editor and propri•
etor, Hugh Maxwell,Esq.,—now dead—
being an unusually able man. Mr. For
ney remained in the Jonrnal office until
he reached his 20th year, when in con
nection wi, h James n. Bryson, he pur

A ear or two afterwards be also
ease the Journal, and united the
two pal.ers under the name of the Intel
p'yencer and Journal. During his con
nection with it it became one of the very
best papers in the country, exercising a
powerful intlaence, not only in its own
town and county, but throughout the
entire State. He remained in Lancaster
absorbed in Ms editorial duties, until
184.4, when no was appilinted Deputy
Surveyor of the port of Philadelphia, by
President Polk, and removed to this city
to attend to the duties of his office. Soon
after his arrival, with that thirst for
t
1.011
journalism which seems ever to have dis
tiautishe3 him, he purchased a one-half
interest iu the old Pennsylvanian news
paper, then the prominent Democratic
organ iu Pennsylvania. This was in the
year 1845, awl he continued his connec
tion with that paper until 1553. He was
elected Clerk of the House of Represen
tatives in December, 1851, and removed
with his family to Washington. Mr. F.
held this important position during the
memorable struggle of 1855-56, for the

election of Speaker of the House, which
it will be recollected, culminated in the
choice of Mr. N. P, Banks for that posi
tion. During these exciting times Mr.
Forney was presiding officer of the House
and the admirable and satisfactory man
ner in which he performed his duties, is
proven by the resolution offered by Hon.
Joshua R GiddingA.tendering the thanks
of the Efouse to Mr. Forney, for the
ability with which he had presided over
the deliberations of the House, during
the contest for the election of Speaker.
This was passed without a single dissent
ing voice.
Subsequently he became one of the
editors O 1 the Washington Un ion, and he
remained in that position until James
Buchanan received the nomination fur
President from the Baltimore Democratic
C. , nvention, m 1856. 3lr. Forney was
then elected Chairman of the Democratic
State Cqntral Committee of Pennsylva-
uia, and threw himself into the campaign
with the utmost energy. There can be
no doubt, whatever, of the fact that J.
W. Forney elected James Buchanan,
President of the United States. He
gained this State for him by a vigcnous
prosecution of the campaign, and by a
must admirable management of an oppos•
lug faction The Keystone State gained
the others followed almost as a matter of
course. Immediately after the election
of Buch.inau. iu IS3G, the differences
between thew began' to be apparent, al
though they were on very friendly terms.
Mr.Forney was by no means an open and
declared enemy of Mr. Buchanan, for a
long time after his election to office.—
Indeed, when the first number of the
Press was issued, august Ist, 1857, it
openly and warmly advocated the Ad
ministration policy. It was not until the!
Kansas qu-stion arose that any serious
rupture took place between them. When

They Tell 31e lam Dying,
BY J. WILLIAM VAN . NASIBB
They tell me T. am
Fading day by day;
That health and hope aro passing
Passing from me away.
They tell me I must slumber
Within the silent tomb,
That soon above my head
The rose will proudly bloom
They tell me I am dying,
That my cheeks are very pale,
That my eyes are dull and lifeless,
And my frame begins to fan.
That soon I'll leave forever
This world of pain and care,
And wander in the land of bliss
Among the 13ov-ors rare.

pressed his views of the measure in his
usual forcible manner.
In December, 1858,he was again elect
ed Clerk of the House of Representatives
and while in Washington he started a
weekly paper,entitled the Sunday Morn
ing Chronicle, which was afterwards
turned into a daily paper.
Written for the Spy
In 1860 he was elected Clerk of the
Senate, an office which he still holds,—
Daring the itehellion he was a stern ad
vocate of the principles of the Union
party, and a warm supporter of Mr. Lin
coln's administration. Upon the death
of Lincoln li gave his cordial supportto
M..r. Johnson. This lie continued until,
upon the veto of the Freedman's Bureau.
Bill, it hecione apparent that the Presi
dent was deserting the principles and
the party to which he owed his election.
Since then Mr. Forney has been a bitter
l and uncompromising enemy of Mr.Johni
son.
Personally, Mr. Forney is a fine look
ing man, of the medium height, dark
brown hair, a piercing eye, and bold
features. He has a deep, full voice,tbat
commands the attention of his hearers.
Although not an impassioned orator, he
is calm, fluent,logical and very emphatic,
qualities which above all others are de
sirable for a political speaker.—!Naila.

A Party and Sham Wedding.
The Planter's Banner tells the follow-
LEI
In one of the upper counties of Missis
sippi, a rich old man was invited to v©
the young people a party and a supper,
ire said he would not do it till some of
them got married, and then. he . would
give them a good one. The young people
at once got up a mock marriage, but to
the rich neighbor in question, the catch
was not to be made known untill the
party was over. 7A genuine license was
obtained, and genuine magistrate em
ployed. The bride was first addressed,
and to the usual questions she answered
" yes." It was understood tliat the bride
groom was to be addressed first, and the
bride was to answer "no." But since the
mistake 'was made, ine — bildegrobni *as
too gallant to answer, supposing the
Iwh )1e to be a bit of fan. But when the
I fun was over it was discovered- that the
marriage was legal and genuine, and that
nothing but a divorce or death could sep
arate them. And the chagrin was great
on both sides, since the bride was en
gaged to another young man, and the
bridegroom engaged to another young
lady. The bridegroom said he would
drown himself before he would live with
his wife, and the wife said she would
take poison before she would live: with
her husband. At last accoun ts they were
in great trouble, the knot could not be
un-united, and the public and the rich
giver of suppers were merry at the ex
pense of the jokers.
Men and women make their own
I beauty or their own ugliness. Sir Ea
war,i Blower Lyttuo, speaks in one of his
novels of a man -who was uglier than he
i had any reason to be," and, if he]could
I but read it, every human being carries
his life in his face, and; is good looking
or the reverse as that life has been good
or evil. On our features the fine chisel
of thought and emotions is eternally at
work. Beauty is not the monopoly of
blooming young men and of white and
pink maids. There is a slow growing
beauty which only comes to perfection
i in old age. Grace belongs to no period
of life, and goodness improves the longer
it exists. I have seen sweeter smiles on
a lip of seventy than I ever saw on a lip
of seventeen. There is the beauty of
youth, and there is also the beauty of
holincss,a beauty much more seldom met
and more frequently found in the arm
chair by the fire, than in the balI•room
or the promenade.
Husband and wife who have fought
the world side by side; and who have
made common stock of joy and sorrow,
and aged together, and not unf i requently
found curiously alike in personal appear
ance and in pith of tone and voice—just
as the twin pebbles on the beach ex
posed to the same tidal influences, aro
each other's alter cgo. He has gained a
feminine something which brings his
manhood into full relief. She has gained
something which acts as a foil to her
womanhood. •
