Two brown heads with tossing curls, Bedlips shutting oyer pearls, Bare feet white and wet with dew, Two eyes black and two eves blue; Little boy and girl were they, Katie Lee and Willie Gray. They were standing where a brook, Bending like a shepherd's crook, Jlasheaits stiver; and thick ranks Of green willow fringed the banks; Half in thought and half in play, Katie Lee and Willie Gray. They had cheeks like cherries red; He was taller—'most a head; She, with arms like wreaths of snow, Swung a basket to and fro, As she loitered half in play, Chattering to Willie Gray. “Pretty Katie," Willie said— And there came a flash of red Through the brownness of his cheek— “ Boys are strong and girls are weak, And I'll carry, so I will, Katie’s basket up the hill.” Katie answered, with a laugh, “You shall oarry only half;" And then, tossing back her curls, “Boys are weak as well as girls." Bo you think that Katie guessed Half the wisdom she expressed ? Hen are only boys grown toll, Hearts don't change much, after all; And when, long years from that day. Katie Lee and Willie Gray Stood again beside the brook, Bending like a shepherd’s crook— Is it strange that Willie said, While again a dash of red Crosfaed the brownness of his cheek— “l am strong and you are weak; Life is but a slippery steep, Hung with shadows cold and deep: “Will you trust me, Katie dear ? Walk beside me without fear; May I carry, if I will, All your burdens up the hill?” And she answered with a laugh,, 1 “No, but you may carry half." Close beside the little brook, v Bending like a shepherd’s crook. Washing with its silver hands Late and early'at the sands, Is a cottage where, to-day, Katie lives with Willie Gray. In a porch she sits, and lo! Swings a basket to and fro,’ Vastly different from the one That she swung in years agone; This is long, and deep, and wide, And has —rockers at the side! AN EDITOR WANTED, BY J. PARISH STEELE. We have been without a paper In our town a year or more; Though we’ve had of printers plenty,. And of editors a score. J3ome of them were “jam up” fellows, Good at writing, good to plan; But they all, without exception, Failed in—pleasing every man ! For this mighty sin we “shipped" them ; Now, we’re sending forth a call For an editor to join us Who will write to please us all; Others need not ask for favor, For of such we’ve had our fill; We will heed no applications Save from those who fill the bill. Well I mind the first among ns—- He wsb by no means the worst— Bat we didn’t seem to like him, Simply ’oause—he was the first; For, yon know it is the custom, Jnst to saorifioe a few; So we placed our heels upon him, Ere we knew what he could do- Next there came a gifted fellow,. "With a prepossessing way, Who, but for a fatal blunder, Would have, doubtless, won the day Blank, a crafty village merchant, Bought a “puff” to gain a “lift,” ’Twas offensive—other merchants Sent the editor a-drift. Next we sent a learned committee To a man in Baltimore, Whom we knew to be a writer, Full of canning, full of lore : They solioited, he yielded, Game, delighted young and old; But he got in debt, and toddled, Leaving us “the bag to hold.” Then a host of others followed, Lived a while, and passed away; Leaving this, our thriving village, Minus of a press to-day ; Henoo, we send this little notice, Knowing that some fellow oan Make a fortune here among ua Just by—PLEASING EVERY MAN. SPEECH OF HON. WM. A. RICHARDSON, OF ILLIISrOIS, At the Democratic Mass Convention, held at Indianapolis, lnd., July 30, 1862. My Fellow-Citizens : It has been my pride and pleasure frequently to allude fco the greatness of our country, and the 'pros perity and happiness of our people. The sun of heaven never shone on a people bo prosperous and happy as we were two years ago. Our people, from three millions had increased to be thirty millions. From a little line of population along the Atlantic, we had grown and spread until our shores were washed by two oceans. We had stretched out our arms from the lakes of the North to the tiulf of Mexico. We embraoed every quality of soil and every kind of production. The sails of our com merce whitened every sea, and the happy American tar, standing upon the deck of his vessel, looked proudly up at the stars and stripes floating gloriously above him, and felt that in that flag he had safety and protection everywhere. Around every fire side were contentment, happiness and plenty. But what is the soene that meets our eyes at the present time ? From the plow and from the anvil—from physician's office and from the halls of justice —we are hurrying to arms. The Union has assumed theappearanoe of one vast military camp. The tax-gatherer, too, will soon be upon us, to wring from us our substance. There are.grave and' im portant questions for us to decide. How can we return to that happiness and pros perity which we once enjoyed ? I would answer, it can only be done by enforcing everywhere the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was. Whatever amount of power is neoessary, and in whatever form, to enforce that principle, ought to be and must be employed. A rebellion em bracing thousands of our former fellow pitizens now arrayed in arms against the government must be put down by force of arms. And at the same time that this is being done for the rebellion in the South, ! that class of our fellow-citizens in other, parts of the country who are seeking, by other means, than those cf cannon shot and. bayonets to destroy the government, must be driven out of place and power, and other men, who will acknowledge their ob ligations and perform their duty to the country, must.be put in their places. To accomplish that object depends upon yon and upon me, but more upon yon than S °t e ‘ - Yo £ have t 0 be B in 1116 work xmht here. If you have already begun this work, as I trust in God youha^ei : let ;a#s«.to ,• e^.r :jrj S i •^@s«!as®.-6S£J.fe«f^.. j »sfcsiasK < f ine urge yon, to keep Itupby every means in yonr the govern ment, the very existence of the country depends upon.it. I am aware, my fellow-citizens, that those persons who have deceived yon here tofore wtil.endeavor to do it again.. Thoy always promise what your interests seem to demand, but.their performance is very poor. Let us inquire a little into the past his tory of;these see. whether they deserve to be trusted for the future. You remember that a few.years ago we warned the people that the formation of seotibn'al parties was dangerous to the Union and the Constitution. You will recolleot that these men then sneeringly said to us that we were ‘Constitution and Union savers.’- They told you then that all Onr talk about dan ger to the Union and the Constitution was the merest braggadooia. They asserted that there was no danger of the South seceding—that you oonld not get them ont of the Union-their slaves would rise up and murder them. Well, we did not find that exaotly the case, did we ? These men cheated you then, didn’t they? Some of them cheated themselves ; others, and by far the largest portion of the party did not, although they cheated yon. Well, we passed along aa usual, and what turned up next ? When there began to be .sighs of trouble in the, /Southern country, we conservative men stepped for ward and said, ‘ Let us compromise.’ They replied, ‘No; we.will never compromise with rebels in arms!’ ;. They professed the profoundest contempt for the South—said our women should go down there and drive them all together into the Southern ocean —it was a mere breakfast spell.. Again they oheated you. Again they proved false prophets, and, like false prophets of old, they ought all to’be stoned to death. [Cheers .and laughter.] No ; they would not compromise.. They wanted a little blood-letting—it was absolutely neoessary for future peace. They. said it would not oome to much; these people down South would not fight at all. And when at length your President called for an army of seventy-five thousand men, you were told that they would make rapid work of the rebellion. It woulj be annihilated at a single blow. So said these men. Well, how does the matter stand now ? We have already mustered in six hundred and ninety-three thousand, and still there is room for more. [Laughter.] Ah, my friends, these men were never more mis taken in their lives than when they assumed to plaoe such a slight value upon the strength of the rebellion and the oourage of the people of the South. It is no par ticular credit to any Amerioan to say that he will fight; that is one quality that is common to the whole Amerioan race. They have always displayed that characteristic Wherever they have been. These men, therefore, when they told you that South ern people would not fight, either did not exaotly understand the subjeot, or they wilfully misled you. Well, what next? They oome now,rafter they have found out that the Southern soldiers will fight, they come to you again and ory: ‘We have been mistaken this time, but we have it now—just arm the negroes, aud the work will be finished in short order.’ Fellow-citizens, as often as I hear a man talk in that way, I oome to the conclusion that he wants to find some excuse for changing the issue so as to get someone else to do the fighting. He don’t want to volunteer. [Laughter.] No man of common intelligence oan be induoed to believe that the negro, naturally an inferior race, and debased by ignorance as he is, can ever compete with the white man upon the battle-field, any more than he can any where else. Set them against each other, three to one, and the white man will be all the time the viotor. In Mexioo, where our soldiers fought a .mixed raoe, they were victorious on every battle-field, although outnumbered in the ratio of five to one. Now, if the Afrioan is afraid of anything on this earth, it is gunpowder. In what estimation oan you hold that man who tells, you that the liberty, independence and constitutional government of the oountry depend upon a few miserable, ignorant, cowardly negroes. We have a population of twenty millions of white people, and immense wealth; properly directed, we are capable -of beat ing any army the world ever saw or ever will see, and he who has the effrontery to say that we. o'annot maintain our govern ment without the help of negroes utters a libel upon the American nation. It is false that slavery is the cause of the present unfortunate condition of things. The cause does not lie there ; it lies in another plaoe. The mischievous legisla tion of these Abolitionists 'in Congress is the cause and the only., cause. I speak plainly, but 1 speak precisely what I think. Now, one thing: When we met one year ago in Congress, both branches pledged themselves that the war should be proseouted for the pres ervation of the Union and the Constitu tion, and for that alone. All of these Abolitionists either voted for the resolution which was adopted embodying that senti ment, or ran out of the House to avoid voting at all. Well, the resolution was adopted. The President issued his call for volunteers and six hundred and ninety three thousand rushed to arms, upon the faith of the solemn pledge whioh Congress had given to the people. Time rolled on, and sucoess seemed to smile upon our efforts. Our Western armies had won great and glorious victories. The South ern people were still divided. Just at this juncture Congress meets. The dominant party goes immediately to work to undo all the wise legislation of the called ses sion. Every proposition that is brought forward is for the negro. It soon became, apparent that the majority in Congress was no longer bound by the Constitution. In stead of ooming forward with measures of peaoe and conciliation, they come with confiscation, fire and sword, and by these measures they at once fired and united the hearts of the Southern people. Thus far we conservative men had gone ba.nd in hand with these hypocrites, in good faith; but here we left them. . We parted from them with great sorrow and pain.—' Then it was that I became satisfied that the majority controlling Congress medita ted the destrno.tion.of the government— that they preferred a divided government, with ohanoes of power and plunder. History is full of examples that go to show that governments are never destroy ed by means of'eitheruebeliion or foreign : foes without some fault on the part of their : .own rulers. : You may turn to Scripture and you will ; find , numerous instances in * fm.rnvm&gm-imQX « TBAX ootnrasr IB rai poof FBOSPEtOUSWHIULABOS OOUAHSS THI aiwi»T> ». .wimitwi«. ■ T.ANCASTER OfTY. PA.. TtfESTUY MORNING. ATHHIST 26.1862. point. The. children of Isr&el were not, nor could they have been, divided', by the wickedness of Jeroboam,-the eon of Nebat, who rebelled against.the government; but it required the' mad folly of Behoboam, their rightful sovereign, to divide them. When the wise men who had been for many years the faithful advisers of : his. father came to Behoboam, and-endeavored to persuade.him to respect the rights of ; all his subjeets and administer the govern ment without ‘partiality to any, his answer was : ‘My father lashed you with whips, but I will lash you with soorpions, and my ’little finger shall be thicker than my fath er’s-thigh.’ From that day forward Israel was a divided kingdom, shorn of its glory and of its power. This last Congress has done for. ns, ais. far as was in their power, the very samfc’ ; thing that Behoboam did for the kingdom of Israel. As I have said before, one year ago there was a large Union sentiment in the- South. In view of this faot, what should have been our policy ? Should we not have endeavored to convince these people that beneath the flag of their oountry all their rights of property wereseoure? I. do not know how you are going'to recon struct this Union without some basis to plaoe it upon. Such basis we might have had in this strong Union element at the South. Who does not know that two thirds of thet’seoeded States were carried into the wiokedness of secession absolute ly without the consent of the people and against tHeir will ? The hearts of these people were for the old government, in whioh they had always trusted, and the old constitution whioh they had always revered. Suppose our policy had been to foster and enoourage, instead of driving off that 'Union senti ment. There would have been no army in the field to-day. But, in lieu of that policy of conciliation which would have been our salvation, we adopted the polioy of meeting all with fire ahd sword, and the fatal oonsequenoes are not yet all told. Now, I agree that it is right and proper in every government that, where you put down rebellion like this, you should pun ish the leaders, but no government ever adopted the polioy in relation to the peo ple themselves that ours has. A few years ago the Hungarians rebelled against Aus tria. That is one of the most despotic governments on the faoe of the globe.— The government succeeded in overthrow ing the rebellion—how ? They exeouted a few leaders, sent the remainder into exile, and passed amnesty to the residue who wear not leaders in the rebellion.— There never was a government that has not uniformly let the burden fall upon the leaders, while the great mass of the people were permitted to return and resume their allegiance to the government. And I will venture to assert that if, after the battle of Fort Donelson, the government had adopted this polioy of conciliation, there would have been no rebel army in the field to-day. But, instead of that being the case, they are at this moment confronting us with an army more numer ous and superior to our own, and we are compelled to oall for more volunteers.— Now, the volunteering now going on, in view of the doubt already oast upon the subject, stands fair; but it is not evident that our people are rushing to arms with the spirit and in such numbers as they did when the former oall was made, when there was a hope that the war was to be oonduot ed upon more humane and conservative principles. In this State and in Illinois we shall probably succeed after a while in raising our quota of volunteers, but in many of the States they will be forced to draft. The Congressional legislation of late has been fatal to us in every way. I hear a good deal said now and then about the ‘statesmen’ of this Kepublican party, but I have never been able to put my finger upon any of their statesmanship. 1 have served along with them in Con gress, and I have found it. invariably the oase that, whenever any man called by their name begins to rise to the position of a true statesman, they orowd him out of the ranks. Take Mr. Cowan, of Penn sylvania, as an example. They hate that man worse and denounoe him more bitterly even than they do me ; for they say Bioh ardson is an old sinner anyhow, and they do not expect muoh of him. I am afraid that when the future histo rian oomes to write of our times, as he will do, he will group these men, with respect to statesmanship, and will say, ‘ Here is a set of one idea fools, who permitted the government handed down to them by their forefathers to fall to the ground, rather than give up an absurd notion whioh could never be carried out.’ You oannot administer government suc cessfully with one idea, and let me tell you that these men, when, in the pursuit of their one idea, they oome to make the negro do everything and have everything, dwindle down, down, down, until thoy be oome inoapable of anything like true statesmanship. Last winter when I saw my venerable friend here from Kentucky, together with Mr. Crittenden—men who had associated in days gone by with Clay and Webster and Benton—-occupying seats upon the floor of Congress amongst these intellectual pigmies and one-idea men, the poetry of Moore suggested itself very for cibly to my mind as peculiarly applicable to their situation: “ I feel like one who treads alone, Some banquet flail deserted, Whose lights are gone, whose guests are fled, And all but he departed.” When we pass into the pages of history, as we soon shall, I fear that not one of all the representatives of the republican party nowin Congress will ever have been found to have produced a paper—to have been guilty of a thought—that is worthy of the great cause and great interest's that are committed to their charge. Now, if you send these men baok to Congress, the history of the Republic is written. Our. days are numbered, and we are numbered with the past. Infamously, ingloriously, without a straggle, we passed away, and became ‘a school’s boy’s tale— the wonder of an hour.’ I have heard a good deal said about the * conservatives Republicans in Congress.’ These so called conservatives are excellent men, judging ■ them by what theysay ; indeed, they, folk the best to vote so badly of any set of men I ever. saw. Wo did think at .first that your-Representative from this Congressional district would vote with us all the time, but we were sadly disap pointed when the time for talking passed by and he was called upon to vote.; That is the way with all these men. For a time {hey would make good Union speeches, •~«*y*sistes.av- ifws talking-tolermbly conservative all the time, and voting just exaotlylike Lovejoy.and his friends. : . . T . V 1 oame to the same conclusion about these ‘ conservative ’ Bepublioans ‘ that a Yankee once came to. in regard to the Siamese .twins.,, The had come to Boston, and the old Yankee .had paid his money and-went into-the show. 130 examined-the ligament that bound the young, men together, and,-as soon as he had satisfied himself that it was a real thing, and no humbug, he said, ‘ Well I rather guess them fellows are brothers.’ Just so, my fellow citizens, I have been compelled to oonolude.that these ‘ conser vative’ Bepublioans and Abolitionists are brothers; - [Cheers and laughter.] One is about as bad as the other, or, if there is any difference, it is in favor of the Aboli tionists. Lovejoy. i avowed his policy. I like a bold man. If he is wrong in prin ciple, I can at least admire the : oourage which enables him to avow himself. I always could understand Lovejoy, but I never could understand your Representa tive from this Congressional distriet.— [Laughter.] If, during the last Presiden tal eleotion, these ‘ conservative ’ Bepub lioans had avowed the sentiments they ex pressed by their votes, the country would not have been in the condition it is at present. Now, let me urge you, if you are going to send Bepublioans to Congress at all, let us have full-blooded fellows, and none of these men who talk one way and vote another. I know Lovejoy will not cheat me. I hate to be oheated, so I would rather have the full-blooded Aboli tionists to deal with. I understand their position. The danger of the oountry arises not from these men, beoause you oan strip them; but arises from these ‘conservatives,’ falsely so oalled.' There is a olass of men who are always very busy—who go about the oountry de nouncing every man who does not agree with them as a traitor to the oountry. You talk to one of these men, and what he is for, and he will toll you, if he tells the truth', that he is for diverting this war from its legitimate objeot, so as to make it a war of emancipation. Ask him then— ‘ Are you for the Constitution ? He will answer, ‘Ob, no ; the Constitution is played out; the South has overthrown the Con stitution.’ Sir, that man is no more nor less than a traitor, and whenever it be comes his interest, no matter where he may be, North or South, East or West, he will betray the country. Such men occupy a double relation. Tn the first plaoo they are cowards, for they will not enlist in defense of their principles ; and secondly, they are traitors to the Constitution of their country, for they deolare it no longer binding upon them. Now, it’s plain that if we wait for Buoh fellows as these and for the negroes to pnt down the rebellion, we will all die before it is done. When this rebellion is put down, it will' be put down by men who are devoted to the Constitution and Union. One thing is oertain—if these Bepubli cans maintain the power in Congress, our government, with constitutional liberty, is gone forever. If you return to the next Congress conservative men, who are anxious only to preserve the Constitution, we are safe, and the old ship of state will land in a safe harbor, where we oan find protection. The stake we are playing for now is infinitely greater than ever played for before. If the Bepnblioan party is retained in power in Congress, we are gone. If we send a different class of men, they oan bat lose all, and they may save all. This muoh I will say for Illinois—we intend to maintain our ground in that State. We shall advance our line some what ; and I think that when we shall come to present'these great issues to our people, duty to the dead, duty to ourselves, and duty to those who are to oome after ns, will rally aronnd ns men enough to drive most of these men from Congress in the State of Illinois. One thing I know will be done— this issue will be presented. It will be pre sented in no cowardly, truokling spirit,— It will be presented by men who are not afraid to speak their trne sentiments, with the panoply of Amerioan citizens around them. My fellow-oitizens, I oan hardly express to you my feelings when I have seen these terrible disasters ooming upon my country, and when ! reflect that her free institutions are all the heritage I have to bestow upon my children. I have seen more of the good results that have flowed from our in stitutions—more of prosperity and happi ness among my fellow-citizens—that many men of my day. And now, in the decline of life, with a sun tending towards the twilight, no longer with a vigorous arm to defend or assail, I. shall endeavor cheer fully to accept Whatever the Almighty may place upon me. But, if it is the pro videnoe of God that he is to punish - ua With afflic tions, to destroy our government, then I oare not how soon the summons may come to go henoe. I would not desire to live longer. Henoe it, is that 1 say that in the discharge of my duty before the people, there is no power on earth that shall pre vent me from telling plainly and candidly What I think ought to be done for the welfare of our beloved country. But not only does-every consideration of patriotism urge us to the vigorous pro secution of this war, if restricted to its legitimate objeots, but every consideration of interest also. As for me, 1 feel that all that I hold dear is at stake—all is in the safety of my country, and I would be willing even now to. close my eyes forever if I! knew that I was bequeathing to my children, unim paired, the oiv3 liberties whioh I have enjoyed under the Constitution. I desire to live long enough to see peaoe restored all over the land; from the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. I desire to see all my countrymen worshipping once more at the same altar,, and all united in an effort to transmit to posterity unimpaired the glorious privileges won for. us by the blood of our patriotic ancestors. [Loud cheers.] • As two gentlemen were discussing the. merits of a popular preacher, one of them remarked, ‘He always prays for the widows and .orphans, but never says any thing about widowers.’ The other, an inveterate old baohelor, replied, ‘ Perhaps it would be more appropriate to return thanks for them.’ Juvenile thieves need no. school educa tion 5 they want- no Aom-book to. teaoh them to nook. , i j m,* «?t& ; ,; T The‘RefuJe^Tailor.

His graceful and beautiful daughter was at boarding-sohopl at the time her father purohased the farm. She had a'lover, and promised to marry him, providing he could obtain the consent of her parent. The youngman traveled’West as fast as >ho railway would take him in that direc tion. - On the morning’after his arrival he was strolling along the banks of the oreek that sweeps through the villager of Tona wanda, when hornet a plain old gentleman, dressed in homespun, aud inqired of him ‘if the railway carriages had oommenoed running to the Falls yet ?’ ‘ Principally, pike and mallet,’ said he. ‘ You misunderstood me,’ continued the young man. ‘ I merely wish to know if the trains have commenced their trips to the Falls of Niagara, and what the fare is?’ ‘ From three to four oents a pound.’ ‘ Do you intend to insult me ?’ ‘ I will let you have a large quantity for two oents.’ ‘ 1 have a good mind to give yon a oan ing for your impertinence.’ ‘ Well, if you do not ohoose to give it, I know who will.’ ‘ I shonld like to know if there are any more suoh fools as yon are in the town of Tonawanda.’ ‘We shall make another haul in the morning before daylight.’ At this instant another gentleman made his appearance, and the stranger stated his grievanoe to him. He said : ‘ I have been asking this old man a few oivil questions, and he has given me the most impertinent answers.’ ‘ Oh, he is deaf!’ exclaimed the third party. ‘He is deaf as a post; but he is a very fine old gentleman—one of the most influential and respeotable men in the county, indeed. He is not impertinent. He deals in fish somewhat, and so do I. It is possible he may think that I am en deavoring to undersell him; will yon, therefore, do me the favor to write down your question on a scrap of paper, and save me from suspioion, and satisfy your self in regard to the old gentleman’s politeness ?’ The young man oommenoed writing, when the old farmer-fisherman interrupted him with the remark : ‘ I will not take a note of hand ; oash on the nail, or no trade.’ ‘He is preparing a note,’ said the last comer. ‘ Call me a brute, do you ?’ exclaimed Mr. Chester then, take that!’ and, suit ing the action to the word, he dealt him a blow straight from the shoulder, whioh prostrated him ‘ flat as a flounder.’ By this time the note was finished, and the old gentleman discovered his mistake —and about this time the young stranger made the disoovery that he had been pick ing a quarrel with his prospective father in-law. Mr. Chester made an apology, and in vited both parties to go over to his house to dine. The’ front door commanded a view of a meadow in whioh a oow was feeding, and while Mr. Chester was look ing in that direction, the youthful lover, whose heart was overflowing with emotion, oommenoed the task he oame snoh a long distanoe to perform. ‘ I am acquainted with yonr daughter,’ said he, in a loud tone. 1 She is a fine beast,’ remarked the old gentleman, looking at the eow. ‘ Your daughter ?’ screamed the yonng man. ‘ I have the honor to be well ac quainted with her.’ ‘She is a noble animal,’ was the re sponse. ‘ Confound the old oow!’ said the young man, in a whisper. ‘ I wish Bhe was out of sight. ■ I was speaking about your ami able and accomplished daughter!’ ‘ She is very kind—indeed, never breaks down fences—never kicks over the pail— never strays away like other brutes I have.’ ‘ You don’t understand me, sir! I was speaking of your daughter at boarding school !’ ‘ No, I never put a board on her faoe ; she never does any mischief at all. 1 ‘Your daughter!’ shouted the young man, frantio with excitement. ‘ Did you say I ought to V ‘ No, sir! I was speaking of your daugh ter—the young lady away from home !’ ‘ Oh, yes—l have plenty of room ; but I think she is too old to keep muoh long er. To tell you the truth, I have made up my mind to shut her up in the stable, and feed her on ohop stuff a few weeks.’ ‘ Great heavens!’ remarked the young man, to himself. ‘ What shall Ido ? This deafhess will be the death of me! I will try once and if this effort fails, I will resort to pencil and paper again. I should like to say a word to you respecting your daughter!’ ‘ I shall let the butoher have her by and-by—if he will give me my prioe,’ said the old man, with emphasis. As a last resort the young man Used his pencil and his letters of introduction, which wera from mbn whose opinion was good authority on the delioate question on the tapis.

When our railroad friend oame away, he was intrusted with a' bottle of this eider, to be delivered to another rail road man -in Boston. The bottle, was not very bulky; our friend had capacious pookets in his coat, and so he slipped the ‘ original. paokage’ into oneof them. On arriving at the town of the doubtful name, but which positively does begin with either S or X, he saw the door of the snug little church wide open; and being a regular church goer, he went in. He had a seat in a prominent pew, with three young ladies in front, a deaoon near by, and the elite of the congregation near him. The services were commenced, and our friend was soon under that influence whioli is always produoed by the inspiring musio, the solmn invocation, and the sympathetic devoutness of an orthodox congregation in aoountry village. The pastor had oommenaed his sermon, the audienoe was unusually still and atten tive, and our friend was just wondering what illustration the pastor would use for a knotty theologioal point relating to the punishment of sinners whioh he was jnst developing, when. ‘ Whaok ! Pop ! Spud ! Whisht ! Fizz-z-z-z!’ out came the cork from the bottled cider, which our friedd had forgotten all about, just grazing a lady’s fall-crowned bonnet, going .half way up to the oeiling, and coming down with another pop into the aisle. Forth from the mouth of the bottle issued a yellowish-white stream like that from an inch nozzle at a> fire-engine trial, only boiling, foaming, seething and spluttering in an incomparable manner. Our friend’s clothes were saturated, and the apparel of the young, ladies in front and of various members of the elite all around did not escape. Our readers can judge of the sensation produoed in the church. oArtemus Ward being at a celebra tion and exhibition was called upon for a speeoh, when he replied in ‘ a toast to the phair sex Ladies, ses I, turnin to the beautiful femails whoso presents was porphumin in the fare grown, I hope you’re enjoyin yourselves on this oooashun, and that leminaid and ise wotter ov which you air drinkin may not go agin you.

Ture Ist mnrther was a lady and all her dawteers is ditto, and non but a lefin kuss will say a word agin yu. Hopin that no waive of trubble may ever akross youre peaoeful brests, 1 konklude these remarks with the following sentyment: Woman. —She is a good egg. Sunshiny Hearts and Paces.— Every thing, animate and inanimate, turns to the sunbeams. We instinotivly avoid oloudy days and oloudy faces. We give a warmer welcome, at our fireside and our table, to the undisputatious, than to the man who is eternally dissecting the skele tons of things, till his ohamel house con versation throws a chill on every warm and healthful feeling. We give the preference to the man who greets the rising sun with emotions of pleasure, and not simply as an astronomical phenomenon, and whose eye, as it watches its setting, ‘ has no specula tion in it.’ In fact we prefer a jolly, healthy human being. The disappointing chances of life have not left so many of them that one can afford to let them pass without a warm heart-grip, and (if occa sions favor) the interchange of suoh ohanoe words as kindred souls travelling to the same eternal home, may sometimes oheer fully exohange by the way. About the Knees. —One of our dry goods firms recently prooured the services of a clerk who was a green hand at the business. A young lady entered the store one day, lately, to make some purchases, and the other olerks being engaged with customers, the ‘ young ’un’ proceeded to wait on the young lady. Among other things, she inquired for ladies’ hose. The boy found the desired artioles, and pre sented them for the lady’s inspection. ‘ How high do they come ? she inquired, after a short examination. The boy looked somewhat confused, hesitated, but at length stammered out: ‘Well, I don’t know, but I suppose they will oome about to the knees.’ The young lady did not trade with that olerk any more. Annie,’ asked an ardent swain of a pretty girl, ‘ do you love your mother V ‘O, indeed, Ido 1’ was the reply. ‘ Well, then, will you give me a kiss for her sake V ‘ No, John, I can’t do that; but you may give me a kiss for your mother’s sake !’ John did it, the rogue! rpHE LANCASTER DrTELLIOBIOEB X JOB PRINTING ESTABLISHMENT, NO.BNORIH, DUKE STREET, LANCASTER, FA Tho Jobbing Department is thoroughly fdmlibed with new and elegant typo of every deacription, and is under the charge of a practical and experienced Job Printer.-" The Proprietors are prepared to PRINT CHECKS, NOTES, LEOAL BLANKS, CARDS AND .CIRCULARS, BILL HEADS AND HANDBILLS, ‘PROGRAMMES AND POSTERS, PAPER BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS, . ...
