Execution of Colonel Hayne.

victims during the war of the American
Revolution, was Colonel Isaac Hayne, of
South Carolina j a man, who by his amia
bility of character ami high sentiments of
honor and uprightness, had secured the
good will aud ail'cction of all who knew
him. He had a wife and mx small chil
dren, the oldot a boy 13 years of ago.
Ilia wife, to whom he was tenderly at

hastened not improbably by tho inconve
nicuce and sufferings incident to a state of
war, in which the whole family largely

a short timo was executed on the gallows
under circumstances calculated to excite
tho deepest commiseration, A great num

interceded for his life. Tho ladies of
Charleston signed a petition in his behalf;
his motherless children were presented ou
their bended knees as humble suitors for
their beloved father; but all in vain. Du

eldest sou was permitted to stay with him

Tho Horrors of Civil War.
Thoso who aro investing in 'epaulettes '
and swords, and for the sport they expect
from a civil war, or aro sparine no pains
or effort in getting one up, will find,should
their unholy efforts be crowned with sue
cess, that civil war abounds more in hor
-r. ? . ..... . n l
rors than in past timcs,and that blood and
misery rather than plcasuro and profit arc
its horrible fruits. Let them pause and
calmly reflect upon the miseries in which ,
they are endeavoring to plunge themselves
and tho thirty-one millions of their country 1
men men, women and children. Did
they ever read the histories of civil wars '
and note their horrors I Let them tako
for instance the French Rovlution and
ponder its results before they follow in its
wake. The following extract will give

"As a warning to tho Amcricau people
at this timo, they should read tho history
of tho French Revolution, and contem
plate its horriblo results. Tho extent to
which blood was shed during its contin
uance will hardly be credited by the pre
sent age, but it is correctly stated that the
number of victims reached ono million
twenty two thousand, three hundred and
fifty-one. Of this number eighteen thou-

reveal a growth of population in our Wcs-

In ten years six States to wit, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and
Wisconsin have increased from loss than
four millions to nearly eight. They have,
besides this, peopled Minnesota, an entirely
now State, and thrown a few hundred
thousand people into the Piko's Peak

this will livo to see Chicago the most

For eight millions of working people aro
a mighty fact. Much has been said aud
written about tho delinquency of the West
in tho matter of debts. No doubt Wis

way of btay-laws aud repudiated mort

by-and-by, to clear their record of certain

The Charm of Life. There nro a
thousand things in this world to afflict and
sadden but oh 1 how many that are beau-
tiful and good. Tho world teems with
beauty with objects that gladden tho
eye and warm the heart. We might be
happy if wo would. Thcro are ills that
we cannot escape the approach of dis
caso and death, of misfortunes, the sun
... i . i .1
dering of the early tics, and the canker-
worm of grief but tho vast majority of
cv'h? that beset us might bo avoided. The
course of intemperance, interwoven as it
with all tho ligaments of society, is one
which never strikes but to destroy. There
is not one bright page upon the record of
its progress nothing to shield it from the
heartiest execration of the human race,
It ought not to exist it must not. Do
"y wiiu .in mis let wars come loan
end, aud let friendship, charity, love,
purity aud kindness mark the intercourse
between man and man. We are too sel
fish, as if the world was made for us alone.
How much happier would we be, were we
to labor more earnestly to promote each
other's good. God has blessed us with a
home that is not dark. There is sunshine
everywhere in tho sky, upon tho earth
there would be in most heart3 if we were
to look around us. The storm dies away,
and a bright, sun shines out. Summer
drops her tinted curtains upon the cartb,
which is very beautiful, when autumn
breathes her changing breath upon it.
God reigns in heaven. Murmur not at a
b-'ing so good, aud wo can livo happier
than wo do.
Sknator Benjamin's Farewell to
tiie Constitutional jien of the Norm
Senator Benjamin concluded his elo
quent farewell to tho Senate on Monday
last, in the following language, addressed
to the patriotic men of the North who
have stood by the Constitution and main
tain tho rights of all the States :
"But to you, noblo and goaerous friends,
who, born beneath other skies, possess
hearts that beat in sympathy with ours ;
to you who, solicited and assailed by mo
tives the most powerful that could appeal
to selfish natures, have nobly spurned
them all ; to you who iu our behalf have
bared your breasts to the fierce beatings
of the storm, and made willing sacrifice of
life's most glittering prizes iu your devo
tion to constitutional liberty; to you who
have made our cause your cause, and from
many of whom I feel that I now part for
cvcr what shall I can 1 say! Naught, I
know and feel, is needed for myself. But
this I will say for the ptoplo iu whose
name I speak to-day. Whether prosper
ous or adverse fortunes await you, one
priceless treasuro is yours, tho assurance
that an entire people honor your names,
and hold them in grateful and affectionate
Luueuiiiu return man vour uuscmsu uc-w

the story of tho present shall be written,
when history shall have passed her stern
sentenco on tho erring men who have driv
en unoffending brcathrcn from tho shelter
ot their common home, your names win
derivo fresh lustre from tho contrast, and
when your children shall hear oft repeated
the familiar tale, it will bo with glowing
check and kindling eye. Their very
shouts will stand a tip too as their sires are
named, and tho will glow of their lineage
from men of spirits as generous, and in
patriotism as hipli nearieu, as evej illus
trated or adorned tho American Senate.

Elsewhere will bo found a record of tho
fact (hat a man was held for trial in tho
Recorder's Court, yesterday, for stealing
ft wash-tub. The facts of tho caso ob '
tained from a responsible authority aro
said to bo those : Tho man is a philosoph
er. Originally ho was a disciple of Epi
Curius, and boarded at one of our popular
hotels until he becamo troubled with tho
dyspepsia. This troublcsomo disorder
upset nil his epicurean philosophical
theories, and he at once gave up the use
of a large collection of quack medicines
and took to lager Seer and tho' vegetarian
theory, for the purposo of becoming a
stoic. He succeeded so well with this
theory that he speedily advocated tho
doctrine of Antithsencs, and denounced all
pleasures, anJ niiintaincd that abstinence
is the highest object of human exertion.
Having read of Diogenes and his tub, ho
was at once impressed with great admira
tion for the man, and it is supposed that
it was for tho purposo of practically il
lustrating his philosophical theory, in imi
tation of Diogenes, that he purloined the
wash-tub previously mentioned. As tho
Recorder belongs to a different school of
philosophers, he sent the unfortunate dis
ciple of Diogenes to jail.
A Highwayman Outwitted. 'Stand
and deliver,' were tho words addressed to
a tailor traveling on foot, by a highway
man vhose brace of pistols looked rather
dangercus than otherwise.
"I'll do that with pleasure," was tho
reply, at the same time handing oyer in
to the outstretched hand of the robber, a
purse apparently well filled, "but," con
tinued he, "suppose you do me a favor in
return. My friends would laugh at mo
were I to go homo and tell them I was
robbed with as much patience as a lamb,
s pose you fire your bull-dogs right
through the crown of my hat; it will
look something like a show of resistance."
His request was acceded to ; but hardly
had tho smoke from the discharge of tho
weapon passed away, when tho tailor
pulled out a rusty old horse pistol, and
in his turn politely requested the thunder
struck highwayman to shell out everything
of value, his pistol not omitted, about
him.

a line that has no end.'
'What is time!'
'A lino that has two ends a path which
begins in the cradle and ends in the grave.'
'What is God !'
'The necessary being, the sun of eterni
ty, the machinist of nature, tho eyo of
justice, the watchmaker of tho Universe,
the soul of the world.'
'Docs God reason?'
'Man reasons because ha doubts; ho
deliberates he decides God is omnis
cient; Ho never doubts Ho therefore
never reasons.'
