Uncle Sam's Farm
Of all the mighty nations
In the cast or in the west,
This glorious Yankee nation
Is the greatest and the best.
We have room for all creation,
And our banner is unfurled ;
Here's a general invitation
To the people of the world.
Then come along, come along, make no delay,
Come from every nation, come from ever' way,
Our land is broad enough, don't be alarmed,
For Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all
a farm.
St. Lawrence marks our Northern line, :
And fast her waters flow, 1
And the Rio Grande our Southern bound I
'Way down to Mexico.
From the great Atlantic Ocean,
Where the sun 'gins to go down,
Leap across the Uocky Mountains
Far away to Oregon.
Then come along, &c.
While the South shall raise the cotton,
And the West the corn and pork,
New England manufactories
Shall do the finer work ;
For the deep and flowing waterfalls
That course along our hills,
Are just the thing for washing sheep
And driving cotton Mills.
Then come along, &c.
Our fathers gave us liberty,
But little did they dream,
The grand results that pour along
This mighty age of steam ;
For our mountains, lakes and rivers
Are all a blaze of fire,
And we send our news by lightning,
On the telegraphic wire.
Then come along, &c.
Ycsl we're bound to beat tho nations,
For our motto's "Go ahead,"
And we'll tell the foreign paupers
That our people are well fed ;
For the nations must remember
That Uncle Sam is not a fool,
For the people do the voting,
And the children go to school.
Then come along, &c.
The Editor Absent.
Tho editor of the Elk County (Pa.,)
Advocate is now on a visit to Philadel
phia. During his absence the boys have
been editing the paper. The following is
a sample of their style:
"When our beloved 'cashier' went a

ey, you must collect that due on tbe pa
per as I have got only enough to take me
to Philadelphia and buy tbe city, if I like
it.' Well, we did collect what we could.
We have raised one quarter, twenty-five
cents, and two shillings, cash money, gold
and silver, in one several piece, and this
is all the money that wc have got, and
we don't know of another cent due this
establishment. We leave it to our read
ers to say how much this will do towards
ibuying the 'clothes and vituals,' for a
large family, and keeping 'body and soul
together,' of two hungry devils for nearly
wo weeks. We are, like all printers, ,
-used to hard fate, having ever since we
learned the trade been accustomed to
eat, work and go naked, but we can't

tbe following romantic story in all its de-
tails, though there is nothing very im -
probable in any part of them.
Sir George Tindal was a young baronet
of
good English family, who came to

! fond of tho young man, but had been ering that she had ono remarkable and
i greatly and perilously alienated by the ( somewhat eccentric taste; she was dis-
couduct and reverses of the latter. It .
was while meditating on this subject that
an idea struck the nearly ruined baronet.
"iIow successful," thought he, "my uncle
has been by his speculations in the funds !

ing twice about. I shall try, at least." j to her one da'.
Poor Sir George! Fie forgot that "It is a charming recreation," an
though some seas may be deep, there are jswered she, gayly; "and, besides, my
others which cannot be sounded at all : ' physicians have recommended to me to
that however deep one may be in the j
mire; there is a chance of getting deeper. '
He did venture his all in the stocks. He
was successful once, and even twice. Get
ting inspirited by his good fortune, he
thought he had but to venture further
and win more. Alas ! he was a novice,
merely in the hands of veteran gamblers.
Some of the very worst members of the
body who speculate in these matters, got
him into their hands, and knowing well
what his expectations were, and where
they lay, they led him on by a nibble or
two, until, by a series of ruses, considered
not infamous only on such a field of
transactions, thev at length got him
t placed under a load of debt which even
j all his uncle's means would with difficult'
j lighten. Holding him bound by signa
j turcs and bonds, they then waited coolly
j for his accession to his prospective inher
itance, knowing well that the same pros-
. pect would keep their victim also within 1
J reach of their grasp at any time.
j Sir George wandered about town for
j some months after these mishaps, like a
: man with a rope around his neck. Dur
, ing that time he had many reasonings
I with himself on an important point. This
j point affected his whole prospective for
tune. The young baronet was naturally
possessed of good sense; he was well ed
ucated, and it may be said that his heart
was good, and his intentions fair towards
all men, under ordinary circumstances;
but his course of life, and the associations
he had formed, had relaxed his moral
principles. This acquired defect came
now into play. The point which he can
vassed with himself was, whether or not,
after having most distinctly ascertained
that ho had been the dupe of his credi
tors, his engagements with them were
binding upon him. His good sense said
yes, for they had acted within the law;
bis sense of honor said the same, for they
had his bonds; "but then," said other in
ternal arguers, "they got these by base
means, and thev have not lost a shilling
by me. The article experience was what
my folly bought from them at the price
of a fair fortune, and with it came no

j brought round an eclaircisscmcnt. By a
peculiar piece of awkwardness, as it seem-
ed. on the nart of her servant, tho catcchc
0f the baroness was nearly overturned
i near Sir Georges door. The young bar
onet sprung out; and the lady appearing
. faint and terrified, he entreated her to a-
light for a few moments. She complied.
' It was the hour of lunch and they lunched
together, bir George begged her to view
tractcdly loud of angling a Derfect fe-
male alt&o. bhe had hired lor the
season a large yawl, something between
a fishing-boat and a yacht, and every
morning, when the weather was good, she
take as much air and exercise at sea as
possible. I acquired the taste through
this cause. It is sometimes dull, to be
sure, for the sailors and my servants are
no company. But I have been pressed
by a certain gallant Major, and a certain
warlike Colonel, to permit them to bear
me company, and I think I must really 1
consent some day." How could a lover 1
forbear to entreat permission to occupy
the place of these rival suitors? Sir '
George could not. He begged and sued,
and the fair lady gave her consent that
he should accompany her next morning
on one of her odd excursions to sea.
The day proved beautiful, and the pair
went aboard at sunrise. They sailed,
however, far out to sea, and along the
coast, ere any desire for fishing was shown '
by the lady. The water was not favor
able,she said, at one place and then she
declared that she had no fancy this morn
ing for the exercises. Sir George was
rather pleased with thi3 disinclination,
which was owing, he flattered himself, to
her being absorbed by his own conversa
tion; and she, on her part, seemed only j
to think of charming him by sweet dis- j
courses. At length a slight shower fell, '
and the baroness asked her lover to en- 1
ter a small rude cabin, where a glass of :
wine and cakes were offered to him. !
Here the pair sat hour after hour, tbe '
lady enchanting her lover with talk that ,
caused him to forget all but her present
self. At length he pulled out his watch
and started up. "What!" cried he, "the
day is far advanced, and I don t think
they have ever put about!" The wind,
too, was blowing nearly direct from the 1
coast. "Come, madam; if you fish at all ;
to-day, it is surely time to begin."
The answer startled the poor baronet.
"I have angled," said she, quietly; "and,
what is more. I have caught my fish."
"What do you mean ?" cried Sir
George. "What fish have you caught ?"
"Twenty thousaud pounds !" answered
the lady, with coolness. Sir George
grew pale, and stepped hurriedly on deck.
"Distraction!" cried he, as soon as he
had looked round. "Put about instant-

have acted towards her in a frank and
; friendly spirit. I felt it my duty to call
attention to future dangers, which I
j considered as likely, sooner or later to
arise in the East, in consequence ot tho
existing state of things. What on my
part was prudent foresight, has been uu-
fairly construed in your country into a
designing policy, and an ambitious de.
sire of conquest. This has deeply wound-
cd my frelings and afflicted my heart.
Personal insults and invectives I regard
with indifference. Audi am ready to
forgive all that is personal to me, and to
hold out my hand to my enemies in tho
true Christain spirit. I oannoi under-
stand what cause of complaint your na-
fence; but f cannot be indifferent to what
concerns the honor of my country. V

Tire Deputation then remarked, that as
their mission was not of a political char
acter, but intended simply to convey to
the Emneror the sentiments of their own

The Emperor, before quitting the a

the Empress was desirous of seeing them.
They were, according!-, at once introdu

ine deputation were subsequently in
formed through Baron Nicola, that the
Emperor desired to transmit to the Soci

to them previous to their departure
from Petersburg!!. A copy of this docu

His Majesty, the Emperor, has receiv
ed, with lively satisfaction, the address
presented by the deputation from the So
ciety of Friends, as the expression of sen
timents entirely consonant with those by
which he is himself animated. His Maj-

nothing more. He asks nothing from the

does hot believe that he has ever given
her the least cause of complaint; and he
appeals to the testimony of all English
