Jesting Upon Scriptures. —-The evils that arise from this practice are much greater than first would appear. It leads in gen eral to irreverence for the Scripture. No man would jest with the dying words of his father or mother, yet the words of God are quite as solemn. \\ hen we have heard a comic or vulgar jest connected with a text .of scripture, such is the power of as sociation, that we never hear the text after .yrard without thinking of the jest. The effect of this is obvious. He who is much engaged in this kind of false wit, will come at length to have a large portion of lloly Scripture spotted over by this unholy fan cy. Cheerfulness and Good Ilumor. —lt is a wonderful thing that so many persons, put j ting ip claims to good breeding, should thipk pf parrying their spleen into company, and entertaining those with whom they converse with a history of their pains, anil headaches and ill-treatment. This is, of all others, the meanest help to social hap piness ; and a man must have a very mean j opinion of himself, who, on having "detail ed his grievances, is accosted by asking the news. Mutual good humor is a dress in which we ought to appear, whenever we j meet; and we ought to make no mention of ourselves, unless it be in matters where in our friends ought to rejoice. There is no real life but cheerful life; therefore val etudinarians should be sworn before they enter into company not to say a word of themselves until the meeting breaks up. The poor and needy ought never to be forgotten. Ouly those who have felt the pang ; can know the tpisery of a desolate heart. HBGEkUSEOUI The Columbus Orange Girl—Another Real Romance. The citizens of Columbus, and visitors at the Capitol, will recollect a beautiful young girl, apparently 4 sweet sixteen,' who daily earned about the legislative halls and btate offices, a handsomely wrought basket containing the plumpest and sweetest oran ges. O, yes I everybody remembers Ettie, the beautiful orange girl, and have won dered in what nook she has hidden for the past two months; for no more her sweet face and girlish form is seen in the Capi tol, and interesting elerks with a great ad miration for the rotunda are obliged to forego glimpses of the neatest gaitered foot | tripping up the marble stairs. Everybody about the State Hon.se admi red Ettie, but it was with a respectful ad- 1 miration, and if a grufl legislator was i tempted to jest with the girl, or make light remarks, he was restrained by the modest demeanor and pure soul-look ap- ! pealing from her heaven blue eyes. Ettie always brought a full basket and ; went tripping home with an empty one, and her scarlet silk purse filled with silver coin. She was the sole dependence of a ! widowed, palsied mother, and her noble ef- ! forts to keep away want were known, and I made the fruit from her basket ten times I sweeter. When the great Union meeting of the Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio Legisla tors was held in Ohio's eapitol, the beauti ful orange gill was tripping about, dispo sing of her fruit to the ; sons of the South,' and receiving the homage of admiring glances from all. At the end of one of the halls, viewing the noble row of princely dwellings on Third street, stood alone, a youthful mem her of the Tennessee Legislature, when he was startled by hearing a silvery voice asking: 4 Ruy an orange, sir?' 4 How do you sell them ?' said the stran ger looking into her eyes. 4 Five cents each,' said the maiden hold ing a large one towards him. 4 Cheap.'

Cincinnati Gazette. Capture of a Ghost. A veritably ghost was captured in Brook b'll o p . Saturday evening; a real thing of *lesh, blood and" moustache, and not one of those shadowy phantoms whose exis tence is purely imaginative. In this age the presence of ghosts is scouted, but there are timid people among us who would faint with fright at the sight of anything that, to their imagination, could be construed to resemble a spirit. Therefore the people of Brooklyn, especially those whom busi ness or pleasure lead in the vicinity of the old cemetery belonging to St. Ann's Episco pal church on Fulton street, may really be said to be unbelievers in the presence of any but living ghosts. Still they are mor tal, and given to the gratification of their curiosity. On Thursday night some one, on pass- 1 ing this graveyard, fancied he saw ' some- ! thing white moving about among the tomb- j stones.' He called the attention of others, i and they too saw the object. It requires j only a short time to attract a throng in any i thoroughfare, hence, in a very few minutes there had gathered many hundred people ; anxiously watching for the spectre. The ) performance was over for the night, how- j ever, and the crowd gradually dispersed, j Friday evening the spectre again appeared to a few persons, and then quietly and si lently vanished. On Saturday night his ghostship chose an early hour for his ram ble, and about nine o'clock again made his appearance, enveloped in a white sheet, stalking solemnly among the emblems of mortality. In a very few moments nearly a thousand persons had assembled in front of the grave yard, blocking up the side walk and obstructing the passage of the cars in the street. The police were called upon to disperse the crowd. Sergeant- James Brown, of the first precinct, soon ! arrived at the scene, and prudently consid- , eriug that the crowd would soon disperse if the cause were removed, he secured a poa ition where ready access could be had to the cemetery, and waited for the appearance of the spectre.

THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1860. Old Keasel's Epitaph. Many years ago, there lived an old Indi an who became quite celebrated as a poet, having written many little pieces that at tracted some attention. He had been ed ucated in one of the New England col leges, hut subsequently partially 1 elapsed into his former barbarous vices. In latter life, he traveled through the country, pay ing for his provision and whiskey by the exercise of his poeiieal talents. During one year of his tour, lie put up with a man by the name of Keasel, who had long wished for an opportunity to get the old fellow to write his epitaph. Accordingly a bargaiu was struck. The Indian, with all the wariness of his tribe stipulating that after he got his supper he should give one half of the epitaph, and the rest after he got his breakfast in the morning. Accordingly, after supper, he repeated | the first instalment, which reads thus: ' There was a man who died of late. For whom angels did impatient wait. \V itD outstretched arms and wimrs of love I o waft him to the realms above." Old I\easel was in ecstasies. lie could think of nothing but his epitaph. lie was almost wiliing to die, for the sake of hav ing sucli beautiful verses inscribed on his tomb. All night his visions were of the angelic being who was to carry him to the regions of eternal felicity. In the morn ing, he called in his neighbors to hear his beautiful epitaph, but the pcet proceeded to get ready for starting, apparently hav ing forgotten all about his promise. He was about mounting his pony, when re minded of it. After a little reflection, he signified his ability to finish his task; but as the friends of his host had not heard the first part, he said he would repeat it as a preliminary to the last; '•There was a man v. ho flied of la to. l or whom angels ■ a remedy for Dyspeps.-, n e bilitv 4e 4c Oohc, Languor, Low Spirits, General >d'and who ° have used il in their practi*. - . ; t m P raoti cib" twenty-six years speak ® the most H"; nng w ' rmß , he seen .amorous letters and cerMfica-tes.

He, however, soon reached the figure, and stripping from it the disguise, there stood before him a well known attache of the office of the collector of taxes who had, for the purpose of amusing himself, ami a few wags in the vicinity, donned the ghostly habiliments, and played the tombstones. The gentleman was com veyed to the station house of the first pre cienct, followed by hundreds of boys, and after receiving a caution from the inspec tor of police, was permitted to go home. This will probably end the ghostly prom enades in that vicinity for the future.—X. Y. Commercial Advertiser. i mineis, THE CHICAGO CONVENTION". FIRST DAY'S PROCEEDINGS, j CHICAGO, May IG. j Soon after twelve o'clock the Convention j was called to order by Gov. Morgan, of ! New York, amidst the most profound si lence of the vast multitude. Mr. Morgan nominated Hon David Wil mot, of Pennsylvania, for temporary Chair man, which was approved by enthusiastic 1 acclamation. Mr. Wilwot 011 taking the ! chair spoke at length. He alluded in 1 strong terms to the sectional strife at pres ent agitating the nation. Ife said that sla very was sectional, and that freedom is na tional. Men have more freedom to utter their opinions in the despotisms of Austria and Russia, than they have in the slave I States of Republican America. He con- j tinned at some length, strongly denouncing j the institution of slavery. All the free States, and Virginia, Texas, I Delaware, Maryland, Missouri, Kentucky, ! Nebraska, District of Columbia, and Kan- ! sas are represented. '1 he Committee on Permanent Officers I and Credentials were appointed. Messrs. ! T. J. Coffey and Hon. Samuel Purviance, j of Pennsylvania, are on this Committee. j After some unimportant preliminaries, ' including the appointment of a committee ! to select permanent officers, the convention : took a recess till five o'clock. The letter of Col. Fremont to Judge Sta- j pics, of California, positively declining to j have his name presented to the convention, j is published here to day. AFTERNOON SESSION —PERMANENT OR OANIZATION. CHICAGO, May 16.—The convention re assembled at five o'clock, when the com mittee on permanent organization reported for President the name of George Ashinun, of Massachusetts, who took the chair amid immense applause. Tn his address he said: 'Wc have come here at the call of the country fur the purpose of preparing for the most solemn duty that freedom can perform. \\ e have come here in ordinary capacity as delegates of the people, to pre pare for the formation and carrying out of a new administration, and, by the help of God, we will doit. [Loud applause.J No mere controversy about miserable abstrac tions brought us here to day. We do not couie here on any idle question. I think we have a right to day, in the name of the American people, to impeach the adminis tration of our General Government of the highest crimes that can be committed against a constitutional government, against a free people and against humanity. [Prolonged cheers.] The catalogue of crimes is not for me to recite. It is written on every page of the history of the preseut Admin istration of the Government, and 1 care not how many paper protests the President may send into the House of Representa tives. ' A committee on resolutions were appoin ted, to whom the Illinois resolutions were referred- A resolution was adopted that each del egation report the name of one person as a member of the national committee for the ensuing four years. The convention then adjourned to 10 o'clock Thursday morning, SECOND DAY. CHICAGO, one o'clock P. M. The Wigwam was completely packed when the hour of noon arrived, and as each delegation entered there was great enthus iasm among the multitude. As Messrs. Giddings, Win. 1). Kelly, Geo. Coffey and others appeared upon the platform appro priated to the delegates, there was cheer ing from the crowd. Considerable confus ion was created by efforts of outsiders to occupy seats appropriated to the delegates. The President requested each delegation to turn out the outsiders that occupied their respective places. On this there were cries of ' put them out,' mingled with cheers. When order was restored, Rev. Mr. Pat ton, of Chicago, delivered an impressive prayer. The President then read a communica tion from the people outside requesting that some good speakers be sent out to en tertain the 25000 Republicans and their wives who were in the straet unable to get iuto the Wigwam. At this there was great applause. Rules for the government of the Con vention were then reported by the business committee. The fourth rule provides that each Congressional district shall have two votes, and from each State the delegates at large shall poll four votes. Ry this rule 304 votes shall be a majority in balloting for President and "V ice President. 1 his fourth rule was opposed by the Seward men. The minority of the Committee reported a substitute, providing that a majority o the votes from such States as are repre&en . ted in the Convention shall be su cieu o nominate. ["Cheers.] , The i wo reports were then postponed so as to Ukeup the report from the Commit, tee on Credentials. That Committee re- I ported that from the States of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and lowa, an extra number of delegates had appeared. Each of these New Series—Vol. XIV, No. 29. ; States will poll twice as many votes as it ' has Presidential electors. Twenty-six States and the Histrict of Columbia are I represented in the Convention, j finite a warm debate arose as to the ad- J mission of delegates from Maryland, Yir ! ginia, and a number of other Southern States, which was finally settled in their favor. THIRTY DAV. j After some preliminary proceedings, the convention nominated candidates and pro j ceeded to ballot. The first ballot stood— j Whole number of votes 465 | Necessary to a choice 003 | For Win. il Seward, of New York 1734 Abram Lincoln, of Illinois 102 Simon Cameron, of Penna. 50$ Edward Bates, of Missouri 48 Salmon P.

Reed, of Pennsylvania 1 Jacob Collamer, of Vermont 10 The second ballot was then taken. Mr. Cameron's name was withdrawn. The ballot stood as follows : For Abram Lincoln 181 m. 11. Seward 184$. Edward Bates 35 Judge McLean 8 Salmon P. Chase 424 Simon Cameron 2* Wni. Dayton 10 C. M. day 2 TIIK THIRD BALLOT was then taken amidst wild excitement, and cries for the ballot. The most intense feel ing existed during the ballot, each vote being awaited in breathless silence and ex pectancy : M assachusetts gave Lincoln 8 votes Rhode Island " 5 " New Jersey " 8 " Pennsylvania 44 52 " Maryland " 9 " Kentucky " 13 '• Ohio 44 29 " Oregon " 4 " As each State voted the applause was overpowering. The vote of Oregon gave Lincoln 2'loi votes, or within 11 of a nom ination. Mr. Andrews of Massachusetts, then rose and corrected the vote of Massachu setts, by changing foui votes, and giving them to Lincoln, thus nominating him by 21 majority. The Convention immediately became k scene of wild excitement. A large por tion of the delegates who had kept the tal ly, at once said the struggle was decided, and half the Convention rose cheering, shouting, and waving their hats. The au diance took up the cheers, and the confus ion became deafening. State after State rose, striving to change their votes to the winning candidate, but the noise and enthusiasm rendered it im possible for the delegates to make themselves heard. Maine cast her 10 votes for Lincoln. Massachusetts changed, giving 18 votes to Lincoln and 8 to Seward. The intelligence of the nomination when i conveyed to the people outside, caused a scene beggaring description. Cheer upon cheer rent the air, while the cannon sent forth roar after roar of sa lutes. At least 30,000 people participated in the excitement. Missouri changed her 18 votes to Lin coln. lowa, Connecticut, and Minnesota also changed their votes. The result of the third ballot was then announced : Whole number of votes 406 Necessary to a choice 234 Abram Lincoln received 350 , and was declared duly nominated. The States that still voted for Seward were — New York 70 New Jersey 5 Massachusetts 8 Pennsylvania H Maryland 2 Michigan 12 Wisconsin 10 California 3 Total lllj The announcement of the result was re ceived with renewed applause. THE NOMINATION MADE UNANIMOUS. When silence was restored, Mr. Wra. M. Evarts, of New York, spoke as follows: ". Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the Na tional Convention: The State of New York by a full delegation, and with complete unan imity of the purpose at home, came to this Convention and presented as its choice one of its citizens, who had served the State from boyhood up, had labored for it and loved it. We came here a great State, with, us we thought, a great statesman and our love of a great Republic, from which we are all dele crates —the great Republic of the American Union. Our love of the great Republican party of the Union, and our love for our statesman and candidate, made us think that ! we did our duty to the country, and the whole 1 country, in expressing our preference and ! love for him. _ Gentlemen, it was from Governor Seward, that most of us learned to love Republican, principles and the Republican party. Ilia fidelitv to the country, the Constitution, 1 tb* laws; his fidelity to the party and the \ principle that majorities govern ; his interest i in the advancement of our party to its victor, ' that our country may rise to its true glory, 1 induce mc to declare that I speak his senti ' ments, as I do the united opinion of our del egation, when I move you, sir, as I now that the nomination of Abram Lmoo 0 f Illinois, the Republican candidal p or A
