MY NATIVE STATE Pennsylvania! native State, The bond of Union once so great, Could I thy - happy days recall, A sacrifice for thee I'd fall. Could Xectsoil.'s voice, not Hate's vile march, Replace thee in the Federal Arch, Columbia's eons would sing thy praise ' Throughout the land all future days. Would but thy Statesmen as of old Work for the right, instead of gold, A Union stronger might be formed, Not battles fought and cities stormed; Not sister States their brothers' blond Pour through the vales in crimsdn flood ; Not hilt tops shining with their bones, Not wild winds laden with their groans. Oh! noble State, great land of Penn,' Send forth thy wise and righteous men To plead the rights our fathers won, Led on by Wayne and Washington. If now did live those Patriot Sires, Who kindled bright, heroic fires On old Paoli's blood-stained field, The olive branch would be their shield Could those whe fell at Brandywine, For sacred freedom long since thine, Could they arise from 'neath the sod, For Peace would be their prayers to God Oh! native Keystone State, let not Thy sacred trust be long forgot; Lot not thy name with despots stand, Bat be a blessing to thy land. Raise high the banner of sweet Peace, Bid hostile war and havoc cease; Then may kind God in mercy save Thy children from a sinful grave. But Reason will resume her sway, And brighter is the coming day ; Brave WOODWARD soon thy helm will hold With LowurE, pure as sterling gold. For The Intenigeneer GETTYSBURG I stood upon the battle-field In silence and alone; Our men lay wrapped in quiet sleep— Their bloody work was done. The day bad seen a deadly fight, A viet'ry bravely won,— And now the moon looked calmly down, Calm flowed the brooklet on. Fair flowers had decked the plain at morn, Gaily the biids had sung— At noun o'er all ran streams of gore, The fairest flowers among. Above, around, hung palls of smoke, Loud, loud, the cannon's roar— ) And many a noble heart then throbbed, Now throbs on earth no more. At noon the dreadful din of war" Re-echoed o'er the plain, And hill and mountain heard with awe The moaning of the slain. But now the gentle evening dews Fell o'er the placid dead— Ab, me! how many bitter tears Wills,on for them be shed. Above, the pale moon floated on Through an unclouded sky, And the cold stars, with trembling light, Looked on no from on high. Below, in quiet, dreamless rest, Where late they fighting stood, Lay friend and foe in death's embrace, Red with each other's blood. And yet for them I could not weep, • No sorrow filled my breast; I knew th - eir toils and cares were o'er— At last they were at rest. Bat, ah ! how my heart bled for those Who, left on earth alone, Will strive 'mid blinding tears to say, God's holy will bo done !" To-night, methought, some loving heart In earnest prayer has kneeled, For one, who, now a clay-oold corse, Lies on the bloody field. Perchance, e'en now, Hope's visions fair May bless her in her sleep— Dream while thou cans't ! Another morn —May waken thee to weep! 'Twill matter not to her that Fame May speak him true and brave; Or that unfading laurels bloom Above her soldier's grave. This cannot give her comfort now, Nor ease her bosom's pain, Nor to her fond and loving heart Give him, the loved, again! 'PROPHETIC WARNING! Speech of Stephen. A. Douglas, Delivered in the U. S. Senate on the 2 5 th day of March, 1861. The following extract is from the last speech Mr. DOUGLAS ever made in the Sen ate of the United States, and the closing official act of his life. Thus far, his pro phetic warnings have proved true. Read and ponder them, fellow-citizens : We are told that the President is going to enforce the laws in the seceded States. How 1 By calling out the militia and using the army and navy. Those terms are used as freely and flippantly as if we were a military government where martial law was the only rule of action, and the will of the monarch was the only law on the subject. Sir, the President cannot use the army or navy for any purpose not authorized by law. What is that ? If there be an in surrection in any State against the laws and authorities thereof, the President can use the military to put it down, only when called upon by the State Legislature, if it be in session, or if it cannot be convened, by the Governor. He cannot interfere except when requested. If, on the con trary, the insurrection be against the laws of the United States, instead of a State, the President can use the military as a posse comitatus in aid of the Marshal in such cases as are so extreme that judicial ktnthority and powers of the Marshal can not put down the obstruction. The military cannot be used in any case whatever, ex cept in aid of civil process to assist the Marshal to execute the writ.. I shall not quote the law on the subject, but if the gentlemen will refer to the acts of 1795 and 1803, they will find - that by the act of 1795 the militia only could be called out to aid in the enforcement of the laws when resisted to such an extent that the Marshal oould not overcome the obstruction. By the act of 1803, the President is author ized to use the army and navy to aid in enforcing the laws in all cases where it was before lawful to use the militia. Hence the military power, no matter whether naval or regulars, volunteers or militia, can -be used only in aid of the civil au thorities. Now, sir, hOw are you going to'create a ease in one of those seceded States where the President was authorized to call out the military 3 You must procure a writ from the Judge, describing the crime ; you must place it in the hands of the Marshal, and must meet such obstructions as render it impossible for him to execute it ; . and . then, and not till then can you upon the military. Where , is your Indge in the seceded States Where is your A:UMW Yon have no civil authorities there, and the President in his inaugural tells you he does not intend to appoint any. He said he intended to use the power confided in him to hold and possess the forts and to collect the revenue, lint beyond-that he did not intend to go, You are told , therefore in the inaugural, that he is going to appoint no Judge, no Marshal, no civil officers in the seceded States that can execute the law, and hence we are told that he does not intend to use the army, the navy, or the militia, for any such purpose. It is your purpcse to rush this country blindly into war at ,o cost of $300,000,000 per annum ; to levy $200,000,000 direct taxes upon the people, and then call upon them to pay it because you have involved us in civil war 1 Sir, I expect to stand by my country under all circumstances, and hence I will save her, if I can, from being plunged into civil war of indefinite dura tion, that will require a quarter of a mil lion of men and exhorbitant taxation. levied on one-half the American people to subdue the other half. Remember this extraordinary amount of revenue ; these extraordinary numbers of men, are to be called in eighteen States to fight fifteen ; for it is useless to disguise the fact, that whenever you make the question one of peace or war the slaveholding States will be a unit, and will be fifteen against eigh teen. Are we prepared for civil war with all its horrors and calamities? I repeat that it is time that a line of policy is adopted and the country knew it. In my opinion, we must choose, and that promptly, between one of these three linos of policy : Ist. The restoration and preservation of the Union, by such, amendments to the Constitution as will insure domestic tran quility, eafety and equality of all the States, and thus restore peace, unity and fraternity to the whole country. Or, 2d. A peaceful dissolution of Union, by recognizing the independence of such States as refuse to remain in the Union without such constitutional amendments, and the establishment of a liberal system of commercial and social intercourse with them by treaties of commerce and amity. Or, 3d. War, with a view of subjuga-: tion and military occupation of those States which have seceded from the Union. I repeat, that in my opinion, you must adopt and pursue one of these lines of policy. The sooner you choose between them and proclaim your choice to the country, the better for you, the better for us, the better for every friend of liberty and constitutional government throughout the world. In my opinion, the first propo sition is the best, and the last the worst. I am in favor of such amendments to the Constitution as will take that question out of Congress and restore peace to the coun try. They may be done by non-interven tion—by popular sovereignty as it is called or by the Crittenden amendment, making an equitable partition of the territory be tween the two sections, with a self-exe cuting clause prohibiting it on one side and protecting it on the other. It may be done in various ways. I prefer such an amicable settlement to peaceful disunion ; and I prefer it a thous and times to civil war. if we can adopt such amendments as will be satisfactory to Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and other border States, the same plan of pacification which will satisfy them will create a Union party in the Cotton States which will soon embrace a ; large majority of the people in those States, and bring them back of their own free will and ac cord, and in so doing, thus restore, strengthen and perpetuate the glorious old Union forever. I repeat whatever guaran tees, will satisfy Maryland and the border States, (the States now in the Union,) will create a Union Party in the seceded States that will bring them back by the voluntary action of their own people. You can re store and preserve the Government in that way. You can do it in NO OTHER. WAR IS DISUNION ; WAR IS FINAL, ETERNAL SEPARATION. Hence, disguise it as you may, every Union man in America must advocate such amendments to the Constitution as will preserve peace and reatore the Union ; while every disunionist, whether openly or secretly plotting its destruction, is the advocate of peaceful seoession,or of WAR, as the surest means of rendering reunion and reconstruction IMPOSSIBLE. I have too much respect for his intellect to be lieve, for one moment, that there is a man for war who is not a disunionist, per se. Hence, I do not mean, if I can prevent it, that the enemies of the Union—:-men plotting to destroy it, shall drag this coun try into war under the PRETEXT of pro tecting the public property, and enforcing the laws and collecting revenue, when their object is disunion and WAR. THE MEANS OF ACCOMPLISHING A CHERISH- ED PURPOSE The disunionists, therefore, are divided into two classes—the one open, the other secret secessionists. The one is in favor of peaceful secession and recogniticn of independence ; the other is in favor of war as the surest means of accomplishing the object, and making the separation final and eternal. I am a UNION MAN, and hence AGAINST WAR ; but if the Union must be temporarily broken by a revolution, and the establishment of a de facto gov ernment by some of the States, let no act be done that will pre vent restoration and ,preservation. Peace is the only policy that can lead to that result. • But we are fold, and we hear it repeated everywhere, that we must find out whether we have a government. Have we a gov ernment ?' is the question, and we are told that wo must test that question by using the military power to put down all discon tented spirits. Sir, this question, ' have we a government ?' has been propounded by every tyrant who has tried to keep his feet on the necks of the people since the world began. When the Barons demanded Magna Chart a from King John at Runnymede, he exclaimed, have we a government ?' and called for his army to put down the discontented Barons. When Charles the 1. attempted to collect the ships' money in violation of the Constitution of England, and in disregard of the rights of the peo ple, and was resisted, he exclaimed, have we a government !' We cannot treat with rebels, but put down the traitors ; we must show that we have a government.' When James 1. was driven from the throne of England for trampling on the liberties of the people, he called for his army and ex claimed, let us show that we have a gov ernment !' When George 111. ealled on his army to put down rebellion in America, "THAT CIOUNTICY I 8 THI HOST PROBTXMOIII3 WHXBA LABOR 00XIKARDEI TEI GMAT= AIWARD."--BITOHANAN. LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUP.ISDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1863. Lord North cried lustily,' no compromise with traitors ; let us demonstrate that we have a government' When, in 1848, the people rose up against their tyrants all over Europe, and demanded guarantees for their rights, every crowned head ex claimed, have we a government and ap pealed to the army to vindicate their au thority and enforce the law. Sir, the-history of the world does not fail to condemn the folly, weakness and wickedness of the government which drew its sword upon its own people, when they demanded guarantees for their rights.— This cry that we must have a government, is merely following the example of the be sotted Bourbons who never learned any thing by misfortune, never forgave an in jury, never forgot an affront. Must we demonstrate that we have a government, and force obedience without reference to the justice or injustice of the complaints Sir, whenever ten millions of people pro claim to you, with one unanimous voice, that they apprehend their firesides and family altars are in danger, it becomes a wise government to listen to their appeal, and remove the apprehension. History does not record an example where any hu man government has been strong enough to crush ten millions of people into sub jugation when they believed their rights and liberties were imperiled, without first converting the government itself into a despotism and destroying the last vestige of freedom. Let us take warning from the examples of the past. Whenever a government has refused to listen to the complaints of her people, and attempted to pnt down their murmurs by the BAYONET, they have paid the penalty. Of all those who listened to the people in '4B, and granted charters of liberty, mid took an oath to support them, only one has been faithful and he has been rewarded for his fidelity. The King of Sardinia granted a Constitution, and took an oath to support it, and to-day he is King of Italy. If George the 111 had lis tened to the murmurs of our fathers, and granted their just demands, the war of the revolution would have been averted, and the blood that was spilled would have been saved. If we consider the question calmly, and make such amendnients as will convince the people of the Southern States that they are secure in their persons, in their proper ty, and in their family relations, within the Union, we can restore and preserve it. If we cannot satisfy the people of the border States that they may remain in the Union with safety—dissolution is inevitable. Then the simple question comes back, what shall be the policy of the Union men of this country ? What man in all Ameri ca, with a heart in his bosom, who knows the fact connected with Fort Sumter, can hesitate in saying that duty, honor, patri otism, humanity, requires that. Anderson and his gallant band should be instantly withdrawn ? Sir, 1 am not afraid to say so. I would scorn to take party advantage or manufacture partizan capital out of an act of patriotism. PEACE is the only policy that can save the country. Let peace be proclaimed as the policy, and you will find that a thrill of joy will animate the heart of every pa triot in the land; confidence will be re stored ; business be revived ; joy will glad den every heart; bonfires will blaze on every hilltop, and in the valleys ; and the church bells will proclaim the glad tidings in every city, town and village in Ameri ca, and the applause of a grateful people will greet you everywhere. Proclaim the policy of war, and there will be gloom and sadness and despair pictured upon the face of every patriot in the land. A war of kindred, family and friends, of father against son, mother against daughter, bro ther against brother, to subjugate one-half of this country into obedience to the other. if you do mean peace, let this be adopted, and give the President an opportunity through the Secretary of War, to speak the word peace, and thirty millions of people will bless him with their prayers, and honor him with their shouts of joy. DAMASCUS.—Damascus is the oldest city in the world ; Tyre and Sidon have crumbled on the shore ; Baalbec is a ruin ; Palmyra is buried in the sands of the des ert ; Nineveh and Babylon have disappear ed from the Tigris and Euphrates ; Damas cus remains what it was before the days of Abraham—a centre of trade and travel— an island of verdure in a desert— , a pre destinal capital,' with martial and saored associations extending through more than thirty centuries. It was near Damascus' that Saul of Tarsus saw • the light from heaven above the brightness of the sun ;' the 'street which is called Strait,' in which it was said 'he prayeth,' still runs through the city. The caravan comes and goes as it did a thousand years ago; there are still the sheik, the ass, and the water wheel ; the merchants of the Euphrates and of the Mediterranean still ocupy these with the multitude of their wares.' The city which Mohamet surveyed from a neighboring height, and was afraid to enter, becauqe it is•given to man to have but one Paradise, and, for his part, he was resolved not to have his in this world,' is, to this day, what Julian called it,' the eye of the East,' as it was in the time of Isaiah, the head of Syria.' From Damascus came the damson, our blue plumb, and the delicious apricot of Portugal, called Damasoo ; daamsk, our beautiful fabric of cotton and silk, with vines and flowers raised upon a smooth bright ground ; the Damask rose, introdu ced into England at the time of Henry VIII. ; the Damascus blade, so famous the world over for its keen edge and wonderful elasticity, the secret of whose manufacture was lost when Tamerlane carried off the artists into Persia ; and that beautiful art of inlaying wood and steel with silver and gold, a kind of mosaic, engraving and sculpture united, called Damaskeening— with which boxes, and bureaus,and swords, are ornamented. It is still a city of flowers and bright waters : the rivers of Damascus,' the rivers of gold, still murmur and sparkle in a wilderness of 'Syrian gardens.' lig — God has made the whole earth vo cal with sweet sounds. The untraveled forest echoes the notes of the wild bird, and the inhabitants of men are made glad by the song of the feathered minstrel.— But, above all, the human voice, that com bines the highest charms of sweet sounds with the inspiration of thought, is given for no ordinary purpose of earthly pleasure. In its whisper of affection, how grateful ! For its' participation in joy, how unspeak able ! . Woolly-Headed Chronicles. THE REIGN OF ABRAHAM THE FIRST AND THE OPENING OF THE WOOLLY-HEADED nulLEmum 1. It came to pass in the eighty and fourth year of the Republic, that James the Just, having ruled with equity all the days of his appointed time, retired to the shades of Wheatland, and Abraham reigned in his stead. L. Now Abraham was a child of promise and a man after the Woolly-headed Dra gon's own heart, beautiful both in form and features, dignified and lofty in thought and intellect, and pure in heart, inasmuch as he received from his worshippers the pet name of ,4 Honest Old Abe." 3: Moreover, he was. - - a statesman of great sagacity and rare ability, having had much experience in the matter of state, in the capacity of rail-splitter, flat-boatman, and retailer of spirits. Yea, he also had the gifts of courage, military strategy and invisibility largely developed. 4. And behold it oame to pass that on his journey from the far West to the seat of Empire, even to the city of Washington, he did make divers and sundry' speeches of great power; and the hills trembled at the sound of his voice along the whole Northern circle of his path; but it came to pass that as the warm sun shone upon his head that his valor suddenly disap peared, and for the benefit of his health he felt constrained to make a night pas sage from the city called Harrisburg. 5. For Abraham was severely frighten ed lest the people should lay violent hands upon his person, and did tremble like an aspen leaf. 6. But behold, 0 ye inhabitants of the continents, ye dwellers upon the islands that dot the waters of the great deep, and 4 6 the rest of mankind," Abraham escaped the great peril which the imagination of his followers raised up, and entered the palace of the Rulers, in all the dignity of his elegant proportions—and clothed in the ample folds of a Scotch plaid. 7. Rejoice and be exceeding glad, 0 ye followers of the Dragon, for Abraham liveth and dwelleth in the White House ; yea, he reigneth on the left bank of the Potomac. Let the'floods clap their hands, and let the Bullheads and Suckers be joy ful together, for wisdom hTeldeth 'court in the Capitol ; she looketh upon the waters with a benign countenance, and provided for the wants of the Tadpoles. 8. Now when Abraham ascended the throne, on the fourth day of the third month, he summoned together all the dif ferent shreds of genius, virtue, strategy and patriotism in the land, combined them in a single skein, and kept it in use in the White House to repair his breaches. 9. And it came to pass that a part of the people whom Abraham the First had been called to govern regarded him not with pleasure, and demanded of him that he should make known to them and to all the land whether they were to be treated as equals in the family of States, or whether the doctrines of the Woolly headed Dragon were to be the law of the Nation. 10. And the noise and confusion was great; and the chief minister of the King spoke to the people and bade them be quiet for two years, and then the King might perhaps call a Convention in which their grievances might be heard ; but the peo ple of the South refused to be comforted. 11. Then a powerful east wind came up in the land, which brought to the Capital from the plains, valleys and mountain fastnesses, a great cloud of locusts, or green insects with carpet bags, until all the streets, avenues and houses were full of them, and they swarmed in the sur rounding country for the space of a league. 12. And they came and told Abraham what was in the wind, and showed him a specimen, which when he had seen,, the thing troubled him greatly. 13. His countenance changed, and his look and manner became like unto that of a sick buzzard. His drink ceased to nour ish him, and his jokes were dry and husky. 14. When eventide had come " the Government" slept, land as he slumbered the green insects came up before him, and he was seized with a horrid nightmare. 15. His whole frame was convulsed as with a pocket earthquake, his teeth chat tered like a displeased snapping turtle's, -his corporeal system was cold, and the hair of his flesh stood on end. 16. Then he dreamed that " the Consti tution was not equal to the exigencies of the case," that the dogmas of the quiet past were not sufficient for the stormy present, " that the situation was piled high with difficulties, and that, therefore, the government must rise with the occa sion." 17. Which being interpreted into com mon sense meaneth, that where there are more who wish co plunder the people and eat out their substance, than can be legal ized by the ancient landmarks, the land marks must be obliterated, that thieves may riot. 18. Wherefore, conscience being an in ward monitor, and a 'Monitor' being iron clad, and intended to be impenetrable, so 'Honest Old Abe,' alias the Government, is justified in taking an oath to 4 4 NOserve, protect and defend the Oonstithtion," while he tramples it beneath hii feet. 19. So when he awoke in the morning, and had washed himself and imbibed, he felt better, and going forth into the high ways, and among the hedges, he made a " Loyal League " with the green insects, and scattered them throughout the whole land. 20. Bat the noise of the people at the South grew louder while Abraham was re warding the green insects ; yea, it over spread the whole land. 21. The tramp of armed men was heard on every side ; the men of the South re belled--from the Government of Abraham and is insects, and their cannon did com pel the po'ssession of certain of the for tresses of the nation. 22. And Abraham called upon the peo ple to"" restore the supremacy of the law," and they did rally under that as surance, and no man knew the end ; but it subsequently appeared that this was the inauguration of the Abolition Millenium that Abraham had promised unto Phillips, and Beecher, and Greeley, the high priests of the Woolly-headed - Dragon.: lat may be christian-like for preachers and leading church memberslo i3all their neighbors " copperheads," " traitors," "but ternuts," " secesh," and to wish they were bung, banished, or otherwise punished; but if so, we confess to baying been seriously mistaken in our views of what constituted real Christian. A Ruisian Funeral. The burial of the dead is a picturesque and interesting ceremony in Moscow. A body of priests, dressed in black robes and wearing long beards, take the lead in the funeral cortege, bearing in their hands shrines and burning tapers. The hearse follows, drawn by four horses. Black plumes wave from the heads of the horses, and flowing black drapery covers their bodies and legs. Even their heads are draped in black, nothing being perceptible but their eyes. The coffin lies exposed on the top of the hearse, and is also similarly draped. The combination of sombre plu mage and drapery has a singularly mourn ful appearance. Priests stand on steps attached to the hearse, holding images of the Saviour over the coffin ; others follow in the rear, com forting the friends and relatives of the de ceased. A wild, monotonous chant is sung from time to time by the chief mourners, as the procession moves toward the burial ground. The people cease their occupations in the streets through which the funeral passes, uncovering their heads and bowing down before, the images borne by the priests, utter prayers for the repose of the dead. The rich and poor of both sexes stand upon the sidewalk and offer up their humble petitions. The deep-tongued bells of the Kremlin ring out their solemn peals, and the wild and mournful chant of the priest mingles with the grand knell of death that sweeps through the air. All is profoundly impressive. The pro cession of priests with their burning ta pers ; the drapery of black on the horses; the coffin with its dead ; the weeping mourners; the sepulchral chant; the sud den cessation of all the business of life, and rapt attention of the multitude; the deep, grand death-knell of the bells ; the glitter of domes and cupolas on every side ; the green-roofed sea of houses ; the wind ing streets, and the costumes of the peo ple—form a spectacle wonderfully wild, strange and mournful. In everything that comes within the sweep of the eye, there is a mixed aspect of Tartaric barbarism and European civilization. Yet even the stranger from a far-distant clime, speaking another language, accustomed to other forms, must feel, in gazing upon such a scene, that death levels all distinctions of race—that our common mortality brings us nearer together. AN ANXIOUS INQUIRER.—Some two miles up the river from St. Johnsbury, Vt. in 14 primitive sort of a village called The Centre,' here, not long since, the rustic youth of the vicinity congregated for a dance;' and dance they did,' said our in formant, 'with an unction unknoivn to your city belles and beaux.' One interesting young man having imbibed rather too freely, became fatigued in the course of the evening, and wisely concluded to retire for a short rest. A door ajsr near the dancing hall revealed, invitingly, a glimpse of a comfortable bed, of which he took po session with the prospect of an undisturb ed snooze.' It so happened, howbeit, that this was the ladies' withdrawing room. No sooner had he closed his eyes, than a pair of blooming damsels came in from the hall and began adjusting their disordered ringlets, the dim light of the tallow candle not disclosing the tenant of the bed. The girls' tongues, like most of their sack,' ran on in this wise;—' What a nice dance we are having ! Have you heard anybody say anything about me, Jane V La, yes, Sally ! Jim Brown says he never saw you lark so handsome as, you do to-night. Have you heard anybody say anything about me V About you, why, sartin. I heard Joe Flint telt Sam Jones that you was the prettiest dressed girl in the room.' Where upon the dear things chuckled, fixed ' a little more, and made off towards the ball room. They had hardly reached the door, when our half conscious friend raised him self upon his elbow, and quite though slowly, inquired, Ha' you heard ary bory say anything about me, girls?' They fled with an explosive soreatn. WORRYING AND LAUGHING.-A cleri cal friend, at a celebrated watering place, met a lady who seemed to be hovering on the brink of the grave. Her cheeks were hollow and wan, her manner listless, her step languid, and her brow wore the se vere contraction indicative both of mental and physical suffering, so that she was to all observers an object of sincerest pity. Some years after he encountered this same lady, but so bright, and fresh, and and youthful, so full of healthful buoyancy, and so joyous in expression, that he ques tioned himself if he had not deceived him self in regard to her identity. Is it possible,' said he, that I see be fore me Mrs. 8., wbo presented such a doleful appearinee at the Springs several years ago ?' The very same.' And pray 'tell me madame, the secret of your cure. What means did you use to attain such vigor of mind and body, to cheerfulness and rejuvenation ? A very simple remedy,' returned she, with a beaming face. I stopped worry ing and began to laugh—that's all.' CONVINCING PROOF.—Joe Rowe, who is an incredulous dog was listening to a won derful story told by old Brown: in which his daughter Mary bore a conspicuous part. Joe looked wise and doubtful. If yon don't believe it, you may go to the house and ask Mary, and take it from her own lips.' Joe took him at his word ; the old man followed on to see the result, and found Joe kissing Mary very bad. • g What on earth are you about 3' ' Oh, taking that awful tough story from her own lips—but I am satisfied now.' And so was Mary. PC?" Gough, the temperance lecturer, once in a while tells a good joke at his own expense, and the following is not the worst. While touring through England, he was introduced to a village audience thus :-6 Ladies and gentlemen, I 'ave the 'onor to introduce to you the distinguished lecturer, Mr. John B.
