LOVE ON TIIE BRAIN-
x.-.
This World's a very funny world
And everybody tries
To ride some hobby, if they can.
Regardless of its sixe;
So some arc in for politics,
For fashion or for gain ;
But one and all have had some time
Love tu the brain.
No wonder that he grumbles now,
That bachelor forloru.
He's thinking of an early vow
Made one bright summer morn;
And how she cut his feelings up,
And sold his love for gain.
And left the fellow pining with
Love on the hruiti.
Each haughty monarch on his throne,
Has foil love's mighty power.
And many a titled lord fjr lovo
Has forfeited his dower;
Our soldiers on tile battle-field,
Aud tailors on the main.
May bravely tight, but yield their arms
To bjve ou the brain.
Our modern days bring out guy belles,
Aud often Volins: A iurio
Would wed, but wnnts the means ;
An 1 while our Koo.eo despair,
Our Julie! would fain
Hope, sing and roh, laL'gh and cry,
Love ou the brain.
Now, when you see a maiden glance
Quite H!ixuiuly around,
Tteu blush and cast her rye-lids down.
As if to scan the ground ;
Or when a youtg man takes to rhyme,
'1 o ease his heart in vain,
Y'ou may be suie they both have got
Love ou the brain.
And now I have a word to say
To friends and parent", loo ;
Don't grumble if the boys and girls
Should follow after you ;
For well ynu know, fjr now you're old,
S ou really cau l complain.
For you have had or should have had,
Love ou the brain.

- A CAPITAL HIT.
In a late number of the Norristcwn
IiiJfjtrmhut is the following capital Inf.
jThe allusion to the Battle of 51ount-Gom-:ery
i? to the late local spriuo; election, in
j which the Union men of iMonteuiery j
I county had the advantage : !
1. or, in the land which w beyond i .ive francuke orj account of color, wxs re
the Hudson, the people had heard of the ! :cctej. The only Republicans who voted ;
batt'e on 5Iount Gomtry.
2. And they went forth to meet tbe
energies after the manner of their fore
fathers. o. And there was a tribe called Kop
perhides, and they sought 5Ioses for their
leader.
4. Xow this man's name was Andrew
the President, but he was called 5Io3es
according lo the custom.
5. For in old times the rod of 5Ioses
the first turned iuto a serpent, which in
the land of wooden nutmegs is culled a
Ivopptrliide.
G. And as Andrew's rod was sought to
pTJWiiiasie:s trmr-rvp-pcr hides, there
fore was Andrew the Chief Ruler of the
people called 5Iose3.
7. Rut of all this knew Andrew noth
ing after a few days.
8. The hosts of Hawley and the armies
of Riirusidc bearing of the success of
their friends on 5Iount-G "tilery were cota
f ot ted, and the tribes of their enemies
were easily overcome.
9. Then there went up a shout of
triumph from all the land.
10. And the wise men of tbe East
wtte assembled at Washington, aud the
souuds of rejoicing filled their souls with
fire ; and they rebuked nioses, saying :
Inasmuch as ye dj it not unto these the
least of my children ye do it not unto me.
11. Aud he answered, and said, what
rue-meet thou 1 Theu Lyman the Trum
bull, arose and said : We have passed a
law to protect the frcedmeu aud the poor,
aud thuu hast said nay, wherefore I say
unto thee, this law will ihe people have to
protect the dowu-trodden aad poor frox
hard-hearted and cruel tyrants notwith
standing thou art President and art called
iljses.
12. Then the names of th's wise man
were called, and large numbers voted yea.
and a few voted nay, and Benjamin the
law maker for 5Iount (Joinery also voted
nay ; but the law was passed, aud loud
wore the shouts of joy there-it.
13. And whon Heester the Climber
heard the uevs from the land of woodei:
nutmeg?, which is beyond the Hudson,
and what had been done by the wise men
of the Hast at Washington, he threw up
his hands and exclaimed : ''James ! James !
what shall I do to be saved ?"
14. Then James, sur named old Ruck,
couYe-ied his friends at the Porters, and
advised them, and spake, saying : Geary
has uo right to be elected according to
the Constitution, but there is no pwer in
the laws to prevent it. Our uavy is scat
tered, our army is small, and our cause is
weak, therefore we are overcome already.
15. And he arose and sprinkled his.
head with ashes, and fell down and trept.
10. Whereupon Heester the Climber,
dejarted to his Barrax with a heavy
heart.

A SOLDIER'S ANSWER.
"Even it I were not earnestly for
Geary for Governor," said a brave sol
aier, a few days ago, to a Copperhead,
"I would not be cjuite tuch sn ass as to
vote for Clymer, who worked to deprive
me of my vote w hile I was fighting for
my coutitiy. That would be a new sort
of generosity."
The recoid is the proof thus :
Ou the 23d of August. 1804. a bill
was before t!;e Pennsylvania Lcgisluture,
on its fiual passage, giving the soldier in
actual service, absent from the Slate, tbe
ri'ht to vole. The following is the offi
cial result as recorded on page 1288 of
the Legislative llccord.
The yeas and nays were required by
.Messrs. Clymer and Wallace and were as
fellows, viz:

Ir..,!,- . n -nv friends as he had offices to
bestow. The V.'higs ejected were ever
after bitter and active enemies, and fought
him to death. "Look up there at tlioso
pigeoi boles," said Johnson. "They
are filled with 'papcra' of odea seekers.
For Eome of the vacant places, there are
a score or more of competitors ; for hun
dreds of offices not vacant there are lots
of applicant?, who pledge themsc!vo3 to
sustniu 'my policy,' and swear they aro
'Johnson men' up to the haudle. So, my
friends, you readily perceive t!i::t tha
course I au pursuing secures me as many
friends' as there are applicants for office.
Aud this policy works admirably iu au
othtr respect. It shuts the mou hs of all
the Republicans holding office, as they
are afraid to open their heads in oppo
hitinn to me least their heads may roll in
the basket. Now, if I should tura thesis
' men out they would all fight me like ti-
gcrs, and these warm aud enthusiastic
hojts of 'f.-knds,' now begging for
ctumbs of pa'ronaga would cool down to
zoto the moment I should dispose of ihe
offices. Hence, you see, geutlettieu lb.it
I am cot following ia the footstcp3 of
John Tyler, so far as the dispensing pow

did not utniiTstanu human cat'tre and

politician who have studied the nature of
oEee seekers to omejurpose,"
THE QUESTION OF TIIE DAY-
The actual ri'iestion now before Con
gress and the country is, whetber the gov-
j the nation, whose Lands are J'tst unclulcu-
ed from her throat, or to her friend?. If
the people think that rebels, who do not
pretend to le penitent even if they con
fess themselves conquered, should be in
vested with absolute power over all the
inhabitant? of their States or sojourners
within them, including the negrr.es whom
the people themselves have just set f ee,
and 'hat, besides this, they should be al
lowed their full weight in the govern
ment of the nation which, a Utile year
ago, they were doinj their utmost to de
stroy, the people can so decide, and from
their decision there is no appeal, except
ing to themselves in a soberer hour. Rut
h.t them have this issue always kept un-nii.-t
ikably befoie them. Let them not
think that ihey are deciding against Ex
ecutive usurpation, or against taxation
without representation. or ag;iiust Federal
interference with the reserved rights ot
the States, or in favor of the efTectud
restoration of all the States to the Union.
The fjnestiou is, shall one half the counrry
be absolutely governed, and the whole tJ
in danger of being controlled by its ene
mies rather than its friends? If thij
! Point can be kept clearly befjre the public
mind. scDarate from all entan"lin alhan-
ces, we have no fear as to the result.
And it is important tint this should bo
done quite as much for the interest of the
rebel as of the loyal States. There can
be no substantial peace until this question
is put at rest, and peace is more essential
to them than to us.
8yA most extraordinary occurrence
took place along the line of the Xashville
and Decatur railroad, between Columbia
and Pulaski, during a thunder storm last
Fii lay night. A half mile of the tele
graph wires were melted and divided over
that whole distance into small fragments,
irregular in shape aud many of them no
longer than a buck shot or small rifle ball.
The fragmeuts found along the whole dis
tance would not, if put together cousecu-
tively, make more than thirty leet ia
length. The glass insulators were burst
and the poles shivered iato fragments,
