THE .FLIGHT OF TIME, Faintly flow, thou falling river, Like a dream that dies away ; Down to ocean gliding ever, Keep thy calm unruffled way : Time with such a silent motion, Floats along on wings of;air, To eternity's dark ocean, 1 Burying all its treasures there. Roses bloom, and then they wither; Cheeks are bright, then fade and die Shapes of light are wafted hither — Then, like visions, hurry by : Quick as clouds at evening driven O’er the many-color'd west, Tears are bearing us to Heaven, Home of happiness and rest. '[From the Chicago Times, June 16. j SPEECH OF JUDGE DOUGLASS. The distinguished speaker commenced by. s.tating the reasons that induced him to forego his determination of not addressing his constituents during the recess of Con gress, and said that a request coming from such a distinguished source, he did not think he had a right to .decline, especially as he always, recognized the right of the people, at any time to call upon their pub lic servants for their opinions upon any of the great political questions upon which they had to. pass in judgment. His views were always freely given and as fear lessly acted upon, and were to be taken for just what they were worth and no more. Upon the Kansas question he had little to say. His opinions on that question were well known, and he had nothing to add, except that subsequent experience and re • flection had confirmed him in the correct ness of the judgment he had so. often advanced in the Senate and before the people. He spoke of the fairness and justice of the law, giving the people an opportunity of expressing their honest convictions on . the subject of slavery in a constitutional manner, by means of a constitutional con vention soon to meet, to decide that and all other important matters, connected with the future of the new State of Kansas. The people of that beautiful Territory would soon speak. We would soon have, he had no doubt, a free and quiet expres sion, of opinion, by meanj of the elective franchise, from that silent, but most cer tain wsopnn of a free people—the ballot box. Should the enemies or i 1... „.j. „c settling the much vexed question of slavety in that territory, blindly and obstinately refuse to exercise the rights assured them by the laws of Congress, upon their heads, and theirs alone, will rest the responsibil- ity. For his part, he was satisfied the ■ Democratic party in Congress had done their duty, and he was equally well satis- ; fied that the Democratic party in the Ter ritory of Kansas would do theirs itr a man ner gratifying to the heart of every friend of the Constitution and the Union. He next alluded to the decision of the Supreme' Court in the Dred Scott case. He said before the opinion of the Court was regularly and legally promulgated, upon the mere newspaper report, that such decision had been made, a fierce onslaught ,' had bedn made, not only upon that hon- ■ i t ored tribunal collectively, but the personal and private characters of the judges were bitterly and malignantly assailed and villi- 1 fied. Even the venerable and noble Chief j Justice, who for forty years had governed the country and the bench in his capacity as'law-giver, [this is an obvious error in the report,] even he, with the snows of eighty .winters upon his venerable head, and the experience of nearly a century of 1 l wisdom and learning; he, than whom a; purer patriot, an abler jurist, or better cit izen, does not and never has lived, this; man bo high and pure in his great office, 1 was selected by these malicious archers; who defy all law, for their most envenomed; 1 shafts and their most wicked and malig-1 nant enmity. After passing a high and beautiful eulogium upon the other judges and*descanting upon the terrible results ■?-' that must certainly ensue, should the trea y.i-j. sonable counsels of the 1 leaders of the Re publican party be followed, he asked, ;\K:; “ What is there to justify such a course ?” We are vauntingly told in all the Rejpib i liean papers that a free are to riso v ' in the majesty of their strength and resist .; at all hazards the application of the decis ion in this case as a rule of law in this ; ’ country. He adhered to the doctrine that ■ this government is a government of laws, ' and every free and patriotic citizen is -/ bound to uphold the supremacy of the laws t at all hazards and against all opposition, eome from v/hat quarter it may. In such a contest, political parties must divide be- J tween the friends of the Constitution and the laws and the enemies of the law.— 4. ' When that contest comes, he had faith toj j believe, that fully nind-tenths of the Amer ican people would be found rallying under , - our glorious banner of the stars, and bat ',; ■ tlipg for the same inestimable blessings ’ that our forefathers battled for—a Oonsti fution—a Country—and a Government of Laws. Beneath such a flag, with the Con stitution and the supremacy of the laws em blazoned on its glittering folds, - ' - “ Where breathes theifoe but falls before ua, With freedom’s soil beneath our feet, ’ .. And freedom’s banner "waving o’er U 3.” -•-If the Republican party desired to force Buch a contest upon us, in God’s name let it come! The Democratic'party, and the "honest and reflecting citizens of all parties, ■ wou ld rally to the rescue. S-■ i ! He reviewed the main points of the decision at length, and said there were • substantially but two propositions in the ■ decision. First, The Supreme Court of ■ . the UnitedcSlfttes.has decided that a negro cannot be a citizen of this Union ; and, Secondly, That the; Act of March, 1820, commonly called the Missouri Compromise, i ’ was unconstitutional, and therefore void, '•< oj before it wai?taken from the statute boots ’1 by the passage" of the Kansas Nebraska act; Hej as* the author of that act, and ° COTflcquaatlyJ’df themepeal of the Missouri iv l' ne > had left’the deeisionjof I 'the>question to .the people and the Judges “ of the Supreme Court. The decision jof S¥. 4 the people had been Iratified at the pfills in *■*' the triumphant election of Mr. Buohanan v • to;the Presidenoyiupon that very.issue, and "'T "i* '"'J that decision had been endorsed by the Supreme Court, the highest tribunal of the lair. So far as he was concerned, his sin extended as far as the repeal of an uncon stitutional restriction, and no farther, and in that repeal he had’ been most emphati cally sustained and endorsed by the peopjle and the Court But the Republican parjty say the decision is infamous and must not be obeyed. Here is treason most foul.-j What, he asked, is their object in making the negro a citizen ? To make him yoUr equal and mine. He was thankful the American people were not so lost to all feelings of patriotism and love of country aS to be prepared to resist the constitu tional authority of 'the country merely in order to secure negro equality. To do this, the laws of this, and the laws of every other State in the Union must be reversed. It would be, in fact, making Illinois, situ ated as she is, a negro colony, instead of a free State, inhabited by white men. You must strike the word “t Dhite" from the constitution of your State ; and what then I The negro becomes your equal—your equal in everything. Your equal at the polls, your equal at the public tables, your equal in the jury-box, your equal to become a candidate for the Legislature, Congress, the Governorship—his children will be tpe equal of yours in<eChe public schools. Nay, more, make him a citizen and give him the right to marry your daughter and pollute your blood. These things the Supreme Court by their decision 'have said cannot and must not be. Yet, the Republican party say that decision is infamous ! Thfir opposition to that just and upright decision is treasonable, infamous, and disgraceful to the age in which we lWe. . The speaker next adverted to the mean ing of the phrase in the Declaration of In dependence, that “all men were created free and equal,” about which “bleeding Kansas” shrieks so loud upon the stump. He proved conclusively, and to the satis faction of every person present, that thir teen slave-holding colonies, in throwing off the shackles of tyranny from Great Brit ain, meant by that declaration, that the colonists, up to that moment the subjects of a foreign power, were and of right to be free and equal; that British subjects, born or residing in Arneriea, were entitled to the same rights ahd privileges as though they had been born in Kngland. Had the slaveholding framers of that immortal in strument, and the equally immortal one that followed it, intended to include ne groes, they would have said so, aDd they would not in the Constitution have recog nized them only as servants and property. The Declaration of Independence was made by white men, the battles of the Revolu tion were fought by white men, and the Constitution was framed by white meni to govern a nation of white men. Had they intended to make the negro the equal! of iIU man. w/tnl/i frKojr nrth been compelled to abolish slavery in order to comply with the language of the Declara tion of Independence 1 Our fathers had seen the terrible effects of this system of equality in Spanish Amer ica, and wisely guarded against it. Hn that unhappy country, the Spaniard amal gamated with the negro—made him his equal—and look at the fearful consequen ces. It is one of the immutable laws of God, that where an inferior and a superior race mingle their blood, the descendants always sink to the lower, but never raise themselves to the superior race. The whole issue involved in the war now being waged against the decision of the Supreme Gourt, is in favor of negro equal ity on the one hand, and against it on the other. The friends of the Constitution and the supremacy of the laws sustain it, and every man who quarrels with it is an amal gamationist, practically, politically and domestically—negro equality being the very corner stone of abolitionism. After giving a full. explanation of the facts in the Dred Seott case, he came to the last topic upon which he was called upon to speak, to wit : the affairs of Utah. The act of 1850, cjpating the llerritory of Utah, was passed on the supposition that the people then residing there were citizens of the United States, acknowledging., their allegiance and claiming the protection of the Government. Seven years’ experience has demonstrated a states of facts entirely, at variance with the supposition then en tertained. If the reports that reach us from that Territory are true, and he had,no doubt of them, one important fact stands prominent ly forth,and that is, that at least nine-tenths of Utahare aliens by birth, who have steadily refused to become naturalized or take the oath of allegiance. The newspapers are filled with accounts' of the fearful and terrible oaths to resist and subvert the Government of the United States, to which these wiyked and deluded people are com pelled to subscribe. It is also well known that the Mormon Governor has heen and now is engaged in farming alliances with hostile Indian tribes, engaging them to join in open warfare against 'the Governr ment of the United States, and to murder our citizens. Assuming that these repqrts are true,it proves that the Governor himself is an alien to the Government of the United States, and acting in open defiance to our laws. Under these circumstances the duty of: the Administration is clear, and he had the j most implicit confidence in Mr. Buchanan’s boldness, wisdom and firmness, and was satisfied he would move straight forward fearlessly in the path of duty. He was asked what his views of that duty were. Simply and in short, remove Brigban Young, and other officers of the Territory who sympathize with him in his treason, at once from office, and send able, bold, un flinching men to take their places. Send with them a strong and efficient body of troops, and able officers, who will be’ able to protect the civil officers and enforce the law. Let us have good men for Governor, Marshal, "District At torney and Judges, and then let us have a full and fair investigation into affairs there; let us know by reliable and impartial reports the actual state of things in that territory. Let us know who murdered Babbitt, who massacred Gunnison—who has beenjguilty of the murders, and arsons and robberies, and every species of crime that has dis graced that territory for years past. Let us have-these facts in official shape before the President and Congress ; and the country will soon learn that, in the perform ance of the high and solemn duty devolving upon the Executive and Congress, there will be no vacillating or hesitating policy. It will be as prompt a* the peal that follows the flash—as stern and unyielding as death. “THAT country is the most prosperous where labor commands the greatest reward.”. LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1857. Should such a state of things actually exist as we are led to infer from the reports, and such information comes in am official shape, the knife must be applied to this pestiferous, disgusting cancer which is gnawing into the very vitals of the body politic. It must be cut out by the roots and seared over by the red-hot iron of a stern and unflinching law. Should all efforts fail to bring them to a sense of their duty, there is but one remedy left. Repeal the organic law of the Ter ritory, on the ground that they are alien enemies and outlaws, unfit to be citizens of a Territory, much less ever to become citizens of one of the free and independent States of this glorious confederacy. To protect them farther in their treasonable, disgusting and bestial practices would be a disgrace to the country —a disgrace to humanity—a disgrace to civilization, and a disgrace to the spirit of the age. Blot it out as one of the organized Territories of the United States ;what then? It will be regulated by the law’ of 1790, which has exclusive and sole jurisdiction over all territory not incorporated under any organic or special law. By the provisions .of this law all crimes and misdemeanor committed on its soil can ..be tried before the legal authorities of any State or Territory to which the offender shall be first brought for trial, and punished. Under that law persons have been arrested in Kansas, Njebraka and other Territories prior to their, organization as Territories, and hanged for their crimes. The law of 1790 has sole and exclusive jurisdiction where no other law of a local character exists, and by re pealing the org&nic law of Utah you give to the General Government of the United States the whole and sole jurisdiction over the Territory. The Judge entered into a long and con vinciug argument, in which he demonstra ted that the line of policy he had marked out for Utah did not conflict in any par ticular with the principles of the Nebraska bill, but were in harmony with the Demo cratic platform in regard to the power of the Government over the organized Ter ritories of the United States. He said he would be found willing to meet this Utah question as boldly and to do his duty as fearlessly as he had done on the Kansas Nebraska bill; and should the Pres ident, when he submits his views on this ■ question at the next session 6f Congress, have no more efficient plan of disposing of . the Utah difficulty, he pledged himself to bring in a'bill embodying substantially the ■; course of policy he had thus briefly alluded to. After thanking the audience for their attention he left the stand amid the most tumultous cheering and the crowd disper sed, greatly delighted-, with three times three for Douglas and the Democratic Darty. Ax Old Line Whig. —The Hon. nemj Hilliard, late a Whig member of Congress from Alabama, asks, in a recent letter, pub lished in the National Intelligencer: What haveave to gain by opposing Mr. Bu chanan’s administration, or by weakening the Democratic party ? Old issues are dead and gone ; the living questions are before us. ami in regard to these I am at a loss to 6ee how the conservative men if any part of the country Can make.war upon the administration. Never was Mr. Webster nobler, never greater, never grander in sentiment or position, than when standing in Boston, surrounded by thousands, who opposed with fierce hatred his wise and patriotic counsels, he exclaimed “ Massachusettsmustlearn toconquernerself.” If he were living today he would, I do not doubt, make a similar appeal to the old Whigs. We must learn to conquer our prejudices ;we must yield our support to just measures, | wherever we find them; and we must give our confidence to men who stood with us in the late struggle against the formidable . hosts which disputed the field so fiercely, as the great stateman to whom I have just referred declared, after the successful passage of the compromise measures oflBsothrough Congress he should ever after regard Cass and Dick inson and Rusk as political friends. * The brilliant victory achieved by the Dem ocratic party, with the co operation of the conservative men of other parties, has brought us into relations with each other which leaves no room for former jealousies and ancient prejudices. The era of good feeling has, I trust, really come, and henceforth we should support an administration borne into power by the late triumph of the friends of the Con ' stitution —appealing, as it does so nobly, to the confidence of the country by the wisdom rtf its projected measures, whether we consider their domestic fir foreign bearing, and by the elevation of its aims—until we find some real cause of difference. Left Them. —Mr. A. J. Greer, who has for some tune been editing a Black Republican paper in Juniata county, abandoned the paper and the party a few weeks ago, leaving be hind him a valedictory from which we make the following extract, for the benefit of whom it may concern : i “ Tired of begging a living, and with a su- ( preme contempt for ultra Black Republican- 1 imo and Black Republican devils, with this j number we close our connection with this , paper. They weep, they groan over the wrongs heaped upon the unfortunate people of Kan sas. in the' loss of free suffrage, free thought and a free press, through the instrumentality of Border Ruffianism, and yet when the truth of their own iniquities is brought home to their door, they become as ruffianly and oppressive as their prototypes from the border counties of Missouri. We need not go to Kausas for ruffianism, we can find it even in little Juniata. “ The Republican party under its present constituted leaders, is the meanest party with which we have ever had anything to 'do. Without prudence or discretion it rushes madly into extremes, and renders itself so obnoxious to all liberal minded people, that a union of the opposition elemen’s becomes an utter impossibility. It will not waive a single point of its radicalism for the sake of the union with men who are as hostile to the extension of slavery as there is any necessity for. Its whole history proves this, ayid it only uses the American party as a tool to enable ultra Republicanism to gain place and power, that, at length, it may stab the principles of Americanism in the high places ofthe country. This it has already done, and we have no guarantee that any better fate can be expected from it in the future. Then why should Americans lend themselves to the schemes and designs of a party, possessed of so much bitterness, antagonism, and mock sin cerity? Others may do as they please, but we. cannot remain silent and permit ourselves to be transferrrd, by mere platforms and ipse dixits, to enemies without a voice in the matter. There never can be but two great and successful parties in this country, one. of which, must of necessity, be the Democratic party, on aocount of its radical tendencies.— The other must be composed of the conserva tive elements outside of that party. The old Whig party was the best check that Democ racy has ever had or ever will have for some time to come, and in the present condition of things #e look-for a succession of Democratic victories in Pennsylvania, until contending factions learn wisdom.” WHAT I ASK NOT FOR. j I ask not for beauty—’tis a gleam That tints the morning sky ; I ask not for learning—’tis a stream That glides unheeded by ; J ask not for wit—it is a flash That oft blinds reason’s eye; I ask not for gold—’tis glittering trash That causes many a sigh. ? I ask good flense, a taste refined, Candor with prudence blended, A Reeling heart, a virtuous mind, With charity attended. Speech of William A. Stokes, Esq.< BEFORE THE CODNTT CONVENTION AT Greensburg, June I'Ath, 1857. William A. Stokes, being called upon, addressed the meeting as follows : Gentlemen of the Convention : —I un derstand the meaning of this hearty and prolonged salutation, and I thank you for it. lam proud to express my gratitude to the Democrats of Westmoreland. Our great and glorious county is, dearer to me now than ever. Providence has blessed us with the richest gifts, fertile soil, healthy climate, beautiful scenery, exhaustless mineral treasures —3 people brave, hardy, industrious and honest. That only which is within our we desire ? command—the reassertion of our ancient political faith by our ancient and magnifi cent majority. If any of you think we are not well treated—that, to be a West morelander, is to be a victim to falsehood and faction, here is our remedy—give two or three thousand Democratic majority, and we shall again hold our just place in the Councils of the parly, as proud as the proudest, and as certain as the most secure. Let us have our redress by beating the common enemy—never by harboring a harsh thought of our political brethren. — All true Democrats are bound together by the sacred ties of political affection. Our ends and interests are identical. Our action must be harmonious. . All enjoy alike the glory of our great victories-&the triumphs of truth, of justice and of order ; ;he assurance of security, of prosperity, and of the perpetuity of our free institu tions—the sacred legacy of our ancestors, which we are bound, by the most solemn obligations of duty, to transmit, unim paired, to our posterity. Before these truths; —and they are the breath of political life—how small are all personal considerations —how unimportant is any man. What matters it who is con sidered the most worthy of the constitu tional trusts, when their effective vindica tion is 10 be found only in the continuous ascendency of that Democratic spirit which rightly interprets and boldly applies the eternal principles of human right in organ- ized government. The Harrisburg Convention has present ed to the people candidates every way worthy of support. I speak from personal knowledge, when I say that Greneral Packer is a moo, _£*, :. ..3 j*. oreet statesman. It is safe to say that his administration will be pure, his policy sound ; that, supported by a legislative majority of radical Democrats, corruption will be driven from the Capitol, and the wages of iniquity will cease to be paid by public plunder. Mr. Strickland was appointed an Asso ciate Judge by (Governor Sbunk, ,ono of the purest patriots that Pennsylvania ever produced. I was present when this ap pointment was discussed and determined, and well recollect that fearless integrity was the element of all others in his excel lent character which decided the case. Mr. Strong is from Berks—glory enough for any man. I knew him nearly twenty years ago. A lawyer equal to any antago nist and any cause—calm, clear and sound. He wisely pursued his profession with un divided devotion, until his industry made him independent of Courts and clients.— He then went to" Congress, and sustained there the high reputation he had acquired at the bar. With Judge Thompson, it is my misfor tune to have but slight acquaintance ; but every one knows his high reputation for talent, learning and industry. He has been a successful actor on no small theatre, and is eminent both professionally and politically. J'- ; All these gentlemen are of spotless character, enlarged experience and decided ability —fit for and worthy the positions for which they are candidates. They are the legitimate choice of the party—and thus they are your choice and mine—mine in a special manner, because I was a candidate before the Convention, and am therefore bound, by the highest considerations of personal honor and political fidelity, to exert myself to the utmost to increase the splendor of our certain victory. There is no sacrifice or merit in this, for 1 became a candidate, as many of you know, against my own views and wishes ; and 1 am quite content to remain where the judgment of the party has' left me—a private in the ranks of our republican army, ready here after, as heretofore, to give battle to the hostile fragments of discordant parties which seek- to mar our peace. Free from the cares of offioial responsibility, I can enjoy the sweets of home, the innocent pleasures of rural life, the society of my neighbors, and absolute personal indepen dence. No, gentlemen, my only regret is for your disappointment, and fur my inabil ity rightly to evince my gratitude to the devoted friends who gave us their generous support. lam sure you will allow me to say that Westmoreland will remember their kindness to one of her citizens, and will repay them if it is ever in her power. It is at least in our .power to prove, by unwavering devotion to t]ie party, that we merit the confidence of our friends. And how proud is the position of that party ! What is it but the embodied patriotism which has guided, the destinies of the Re public from feeble infancy to the maturity of National manhood —which has made our homes happy, our rights secure, our arms triumphant—which has insured domestic tranquility, and protected us from foreign violence—which has carried us in safety to the highest point of earthly prosperity, which has demonstrated the capacity of man for self-government —which has taught tyrants to tremble, and warmed with hope the hearts of the oppressed throughout the world. We know no new political faith. We stand where stood the founders of our freedom—on those principles which have united the wise and good from the begin ning until now, and which will remain the shield of the nation until the salt of De mocracy shall haye lost its savor,, and the days of the Republic are numbered. Since the shges, of the Revolution pro- .1 V- t *~ claimed the immortal maxims, which are our true bond of concord, factions without number have sprung np, withered and died. Every crude political notion, every sec tional interest, has had its supporters; at one time religions faith has been reviled, at another the accideht of birth has been deemed a crime, now exaltation of the negro is the temporary test, the Constitu tion is the very name of Re publican is degraded. Amidst all these ever shifting phases of folly, we remain on the firm platform erected by our fathers. The Democratic creed—unaffected by lo cality, unchanged !by time—is the same yesterday, to-day and forever. Heaven’s holy truth for man’s social happiness, it is lifted up far above the passion and preju dice by which reason is blinded and error strengthened. It holds out no bribes to particular interests, no favors to any ex clusive class. It proclaims, in the lan guage of one of iv heroic champions, that “the blessings of i government, like the dews of heaven, 1 should be dispensed to all men—alike to the high and the low, the rich and the poor.” 1 It breaks down the barriers raised by tyranny, and fraternizes citizens so that they become one great national family, full of love and hope. ; In doing this, it commands us to sacri fice our personal preferences, to lay all minor differences oti the altar of our coun try’s greatness, to say “ everything for the party—nothing fori men” No man is a true' Democrat who Will op pose- the party. ;He who fails to give hearty support to i the candidates when once nominated, wages intestine war, and is a traitor more dangerous than an avowed enemy. It is by 1 absolute and effeotive union on the party candidates, that Penn sylvania has so often shone conspicuous in the constellation ofl Republican Sovereign ties. This was the means by which she made Jefferson President and discarded British influence, by which she made JAck- SON President and purged the country of usurpers, by which she made Buchanan President and saved the Constitution. What more can Be it ours, my; fellow citizens, by our labors in the contest, to preserve the pu rity of our principles, to rescue our State from bondage, to defend our free Constitu tion, to elevate still higher the Democratic faith, which is the glory of this country and the hope of humanity throughout the world. God to our keeping has committed the sacred flame of liberty. Let us be true to our trust that our path through life may be illuminated by its rays, that our chil dren may possess the heritage of freedom, that the Nations may rejoice in the light and life of Democratic truth. Impressed with these solemn considera tions, before which all present personalities sink into insignificance, let us go to our respective homes, and endeavor to diffuse, in all parts of our county, the high polit ical morality of a party, pure in its origin, action, sentiments; and tendencies. Lot U 3 DUntTavu vLw among ourselves, and' of charity towards our oppo nents. Let reason reign, and truth will be invincible. i Charley’s Misfortunes; Or, how his Hat Troubled! him—A Tale of the West. BY HASEL GREEN. “When I was a’young lad, just begin ning to think about the girls,” said Charley, “ 1 was monstrous pious, and went to meet ing every Sunday ; but I have since come to the conclusion, that it was not as much for the concern I felt for the “good of tho soul,” as it was for the sake of gazing about the room, and thinking to myself which girl was the prettiest, and which one I would rather marry. Well, one day psingled out a girl who I thought eclipsed: all creation for beauty in fact, I was soon head-over-heels in love with her. But a few minutes sufficed for me to form a resolution to see her home, to pop the question, and, if possible, to strike a bargain immediately. 1 was all in a tremble. The sepmon seemed to be a week long, and very uninteresting. Many, no doubt, were praying for their “ neigh bors and their neighbors’ children,” but with me it was ■ quite different—l was praying for the meeting to break up. At length the meeting did break, and I broke with it—for my hat; but to my sur- prise and mortification, I could .not find it until the object of my affection had gotten so far the start of me, that it would have required quite ameffort to have overtaken her. Besides there was another consider- ation —my hat had been underfoot, and was so badly spiled, that I was rather ashamed to be seen with it on. Taking all things into consideration, I resolved to wait for the next 'opportunity. * From that time I was a changed chap. I pould think of nothing but the girl I had seen at meeting, except it was that of per suading the “ governor” to buy me a new suit of clothes. The old lady sided with me in this last particular, and between ns both, we succeeded in carrying our point. I was rigged out in style—cloth coat, satin vest, eassimere pants, and, to crown all, a beaver that cost: five dollars. “ This will fix things,” thought I; “could I but see her now, I might set her down as mine.” i In a few evenings, there was a prayer meeting at “ Union Meeting House,” and I, with my new fixings, wended my way thither; not, however, until my mother had given me much good advice concerning the management of my new rigging—more par ticularly the hat, as I bad, but a short time before, got my old one crushed up atmeet ing. I had not been in the meeting-house long, before she whom I most anxiously expected came in ; and from thence until the services were concluded, I was in a sea of trouble, lest some fellow should out me out, or something of the kind. • As soon as the congregation wks dis missed, I “ yoked her,” and off we started. When we reached her home the sun was just setting, and so to be mannerly, her i old dad asked me to “ stay all night.” I ] had no objections, and after supper was ' over, I told Betty (for that was the girl’s : name,) that I’d like to chat with her a lit tle more. She had no objection, but said we must go to the kitchen, as the old folks didn’t like to be disturbed by a light in the “ tig room,” when they were in bed. To all this I consented, of course, and so we were soon on the very best of terms.— I should have been extremely happy, but for one cause" —the stamp of plenty, in the form of grease, was abundantly impressed upon everything about the room, excepting the chairs upon -which we" sat, and conse quently I was much troubled about my r 'f~-~ s-S' " r As ’—BUCHANAN, Prom Porter’s’Spirit of the Times. s%;o - * • * new hat. What should I-do with it? .1 did not want to have grease upon it—no, that would not do! Finally, I resolved to keep it on my head, judging that to he the safest plaee. Being thus relieved of my greatest embarrassment, I went 'about the work of courting in real earnest. After many fine things had been said, and a marriage contract partially entered into, I proposed a kiss. You may be sure she refused, but I insisted- —a scuffle en sued, which lasted until she was completely exhausted. Being unable to hold out any longer, she turned up her pretty lips, and said : “If you must kiss me—here, hut don’t you ever undertake such a thing again—you brute.” I stooped ever to perform the operation, when, all of a sudden, I felt an unusual lightness about my head. Before I had time to think whether I was going to faint or not, I heard a kind of splashing about my feet, and casting my eyes downward, I saw —my stars what did I see ? There lay my five dollar beaver, completely immersed in a filthy compound of dish water, cucumber peals, “tater” skins, and the dear knows what besides, that had been accumulated in a tub under the fascinating cognomen of “swill.” ; This was a predicament for you —what should Ido ? If ‘Betty had observed it, the matter would not have been so bad ; but she had not—could I tell her ? No, Heaven forbid ! At first I thought of lift ing it out, but imagining the spectacle it would present, my courage failed me. — “ But then,” reasoned I, “ she will be sure to see it ere long,, and then how she will blush. Already she is looking at me, as ' if she is wondering why I don’t kiss her— perhaps I'had better not stay any longer;” ahd, suiting the action to the word, I made a leap for the door, and was off like a com et. From thence all was darkness, all was confusion, until I found myself at'home — bare-headed—receiving a raking fire from the old man and the old woman at the same time. This is bad enough to think of, but it is not the worst. There is one thing that now rings in my ears, and will continue to do so as long as I live—it is the last words of Betty. Poor thing, sup posing that I had taken offence at her resis tance, she called after me as I shot out of the door : “ Oh, Charley ! come hack, I was only in fun—come back, do ! Oh, Charley !” CARDS.
