The Little Girl'■ Good Morning.
BT MART IEIIIO
0 0h! I am so happy!" the little girl said,
As she spans like a lark from the low trundle bed,
"'Tie morning, bright morning! Good morning,
Ma
Oh give me one kiss for good morning mamma
Only just look at my pretty tanary,
Chirping his sweet "good morning to Mary !"
The sunshine is peeping right straight into my
eyes—
Good morning to you Mr. Sun, for you rite
Early to wake op my birdie and me,
And make ua u happy as happy can be."
"ilgappy you may be, my dear little girl,"
And the mother stroked softly a clustering curl
-" Happy as happy can be—but think of the One
Who wakened, this morning, both you and
the sun."
The 'hide nne tumid her bright eyes with a nod,
"Mamma, may I my goad morning to God."
"Yee, little darling one, surely you may—
Kneel, u you kneel every morning to pray."
Mary knelt solemnly down, with her eyes
Looking up earnestly into the skies,
And two little hands that were folded together
Softly she laid on the lap of her mother
"Good morning, dear Father in Heaven," she aid,
"I thank thee fur watching my snug little hed,
For taking good care of me all the dark night,
And waking me up with the beautiful light,
Oh, keep me from naughtineu all the long day,
Blest Jeaua, who taught little children to pray !"
An angel looked down in the sonshink and smiled;
Hut she maw not the angel—that beautiful child.
TAR STOLEN KISS.
My dear Fred, did you ever steal a. kiss
from a beautiful girl, in some unguarded
moment, when she was totally unconscious
of the close proximity' of your lips to her
own, until the treasure was pilfered and
past redemption ?
If so, then listen to me, and I will give
you an account of a bit of fun in that line
when I was at the mature age of 14. At
the district school where I attended, there
was a little blonde classmate of mine whose
roguish eye and dimpled cheek played the
mischief with my studies.
Every day, after school was dismissed, I
gallanted Kate 13— to her home; and
when there was snow on the ground I al
ways insisted on her taking a seat on my
clod, while I, proud of my loud of thousand dollars." This the merchant

And pow 'Kate would run blushing into
the [School room, and I would propose some
play to turn the conversation.
The intimacy between us grew stronger
.day by day, until I used to call at her
.house for nothing else but to hear her
awact laugh and talk, until it was time for
we to leave.
.Oltio fine summer evening, I thought I
would walk up to Kate's and tied out
what she thought of a small ring I had sent
to her the deg before by an urchin that 1
had hired, as I had not the courage to give
it to her myself.. As I neared the house,
I saw Kate reclining ou a small lounge that
had been removed from the sitting room
into the open verandah. Her father was
readings paper and smoking a large pipe
with his feet placed on an old chest that
stood in the corner of the kitchen, and her
mother sitting in the rocking chair, with
her 'knitting work in her hand, while, to
complete the group, a monstrous mastiff
dog lit , under the table, asleep. I crept
softly up to the lounge without being dis
covered. She was gazing through the lot

I pressed nearer to her and stood near e

but my courage failed me, and I should have
given it up u a bad job, if the little witch

bright moonlight an exquisite little hand,

"Why, what iu the world made you
scream so Kate ?" said her father.
Poor Kate blushed to the tip of her
fingers, and said nothing, but wi l e im
ploring glance at me.
"What was it, Jack? he inquired.
"Why, the truth is, Mr. B—, When
I came to the verandah, I saw Kate on the
lounge looking so bewitching, that T could
not help taking a kiss, and as I took it
without her leave, it startled her some
what."
Squire B— roared with laughter,
while Mrs. B— looked at Kate with such
a comical expression, that she slipped out
of doors to hide her confusion.
I went out a moment after, and found
her in a little arbor in the rear of the house.
"Dear Kate," said I, "forgive me, and
I will give you back the kiss I stole."
She looked at me a moment, and then
turned her head away ; but she did not
struggle violently when I repaid her the
kiss 1 had stolen under the verandah. I
have kissed beautiful girls since, but never
found the zest of that stolen kiss. Ah,

Value of a Wife In the Colonial
Regions.
Nothing astonishes the Chinamen who
visit the English merchants at I long-Kong
so much as the deference paid to ladies,
and the position the latter are permitted to
bold in society. The very servants ex
press their disgust at seeing the ladies per
mitted to sit at the table with their lords,
and wonder how men can so far forget their
dignity. A young English merchant re
cently took his youthful wife with him to
!long-Kong, where the couple were visited
by a wealthy Mandarin. The latter regard
ed the lady attentively, and seined to dwell
with delight on her movements. When
she at length left the apartment, he
said to the husband, in his imperfect
English :

the singular error of the visitor, "Two

Englishmen never sold their wives after

hearty laugh with his young wife, when ho
told her he had just discovered her value.
A Camel Market.
The Blue Town is especially noted for
its great trade in camels. The camel mar
ket is a large square in the centre of the ,
town. The animals ate ranged here in
long rows, their front feet raised upon u
mud elevation constructed for that. per-'
pose, the object being to show off the size
and height of the creatures. It is impos-
Bible to describe the uproar and confusion
of this market, with the incessant bawling
of the buyers and sellers as they dispute, ,
their noisy chattering after they have a
greed, and the horrible shrieking of the 1
camels at having their noses pulled, for the
purpose of making them show their agility
in kneeling and rising. lu order to test
the strength of the cuniel, and the burden
it. is capable of bearing, they make it kneel, I
then pile one thing after another upon its!
back, causing it to rise under each addition,
until it can rise no longer. They some
times use the following expedient : While'
the camel is kneeling, a man gets upon 1
his hind heels, and holds on by the lung
hair of its hump; if the camel can
rise then; it is considered an animal of su
perior power. The trade in camels is en- 1 ,

TILE DOO WITII A BROKEN LEO.—Some
thirty years ago, (perhaps 1820,) Dr. Taft,
a silkful surgeon, resided in Windsor, Vt.
A man in that place owned a large an
valuable mastiff dog, who had the misfor
tune to break his leg. The owner, after
ineffeetual attempts to set the bone, sent
for Dr. Taft, who speedily put the bone in
its place, and splintered up the leg. For
'several days the ddetor visited the dog and
dressed the wound, and then told the own
er ho should come no more, but if anything
seemed to be wanting, to bring the dog to
his office. He did so twice or three times,
and when he ceased going;the dog would
go alone to the doetor's office every morn ,
lug, and lie down at the door until the
doctor looked at his leg, and then he would
return, continuing thus practice . until ho
was fully cured. Some tune after this, the
greatdog found in tho street a little dog
with a broken leg, and after smelling
'around him for some time, he got him
up upon three logs, and managed to get
him from street to street to Dr Taft's Office,
where Ite waited with the little dog until

GETTYSBURG, PA, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 30, 1851,
Impatience of Young Life.
We contemplate with much amusement
the number of worthy, middle-aged
indi
viduals, cheerful, respectable authors, or
hard working men of business—merry old
bachelors or happy fathers of families—
, all of whom were in their youth the most
wretched of mortals, talking perpetually
of "misery," and "self-destruction." It
seems ridiculous now, but it was awfully
real at the time. It is no more than
a phase of mind which almost every one
goes through (except those worthies un
troubled with any brains at all, who gen
erally pass through life quite comfortably,
and are the most "jolly" people imagina
ble.) But for those others, whose spirits
must meet and endure this bitter ordeal,
they should be dealt with tenderly and
borne with patiently until the trouble ends.
It is the finer portion of all finer natures ;
the restless want, the vague aspiring, the
perpetually striving for perfection in po
etic dreamings ; in idle love fanciei, incon
stant as air, each seeking after something
diviner or more beautiful, which is never
found ; in knowledge, or in the phrensied
dissipation of pleasure, all alike ending in
nothing, until the only truth of life seems
to be that bitterest one of Solomon, the
Preacher, "Vanity of vanities, all is vani
ty." This is, perhaps, the story of every
humin mind in which shines one spark of
the fire of genius ; the story's beginning,
but, thank God ! notrpeessarify its end.—
Many a great 'trout spirit has'passed— l
and all can pass—out of the cloudy void
into a clear day. Shakspeare, who must
once have felt, or he could not have paint
ed young Hamlet, reached at last the di-
vine height where, in the universal poet,
we lose all traces of the individual man
and he who once wrote "The Sorrows of j
Merger" lived to be that great Goethe who, j
from his lofty calm of eighty-two years,
could look bark on what was, as near no
any human life could he, a perfect and
fulfilled existence.-7 he Head ot the Fain.
The Battle or the Bees.
Galignani's Messenger, published in
Paris, says a curious circumstance oc
curred recently at Guilleville, in France.
! A small farmer had in a field about two
Ihundred bee-hives, containing a vast num
.; her of bees. lie sent a man With a cart,
!drawn by five horses, to remove some
learth (ruin the wall near which the hives
were placed. 'Fite carter having occasion
to go to the larm house, tied the horses to
a tree. Almost immediately after, a !nut
titude of bees, either irritated at the sha
t king of their hives by the removal of the
earth from the wall, or excited by the e
lectrieity with which the atmosphere hap
. tined to be charged, issued from their
eves, as if in obedience to a given signal,
and With great fury attacked the horses.—
; In an instant the poor animals were PH-
I tirely covered with bees from head to foot;
even their nostrils were filled with them.
When the carter returned he found one of
; his horses lying deal on the ground and
I the othas rolling about furiously. His
cries attracted several persons; one of
i them attempted to drive away the bees,
but they attacked him, and he had to
plunge into a pond, and even to place his
head ' under water for a few seconds in
order to escape from them. The cure of
Guilleville also attempted.,to approach the
horses, but he too was put to flight by the
enraged insects. At length two fire en
gines were Sethi for, and by pumping on
the bees a great number were killed on
the horses or put to (light. The horses,
however, were so much injured that they
died in an hour. The value of the bees
destroyed was 1,500 ,franes, and of the
horses 2,500 francs. A few days before
bees from the same hives killed seventeen
goslings.
EMBALMINO.—Toe Now York Courier
and Enquirer says a process was discov
ered some few years since by Dr. Sucquel,
' of Paris, ky which bodies can be embalm
! ed in one hour, so as to preserve them.
with the appearance of being asleep, with
'.out any cutting or mutilating, except a
Ismail incision which is made for the pur
-1 pose of injecting a chemical fluid. A
body prepared in this way preserves a
healthy hue, and even the marks that die
ease and death naturally leave will pass
away. The editor of the same paper re
marks that he saw a few days ago, at the
hospital, the body of a man who was kill
ed four days previous by falling from a
window ; after it had been taken to the
hospital it was embalmed according to Dr.
Suequet's process, and, though the weath
er has been so extremely hot, there was
not the slightest discoloration. The sub
ject 'Was not the best fur demonstrating the
process, as it has sustained some severe
bruises about the lace. Dr. E. Pilate, of
New York, has purchased the right for
embalming in this country. He refers to
I)rs. Mutt a mid Berger, and other scientific
men.
Coroline is the feminine of Charles, or
rather of its Latin equivalent, Carolus.—
lt comes from the German, and has the
signification of brave fouled, or courage
ously patient. The name has been borne
by women who have proved themselves
worthy of the name. It is not in the
Wanly breast alone that valor is found, or
needed. There are those who, having

Selling Chickens to the Legit-
tat ure.
While the Legislature of : Miesouri was
in session, a few days ago, a green fellow
from the country came to Jefferson to sell
some chickens. He had about two dozen,
all of which lie had tied by the legs to a
string, and this, being divided equally,
and thrown across his horse or his shoul
der, formed his mode of conveyance, leav
ing the fowls with their heads hanging
down, with little else of them visible ex
cept their naked legs, and a promiscuous
pile of out.etretched wings and ruffled feath
ers. After several ineffectual efforts to
dispose of his load, a wag. to whom he
had made an offer of sale, told him that he
did not want chickens hiniself, but that
perhaps he could sell them at that large
stone house over there, (the capitol,) that
there was a man over there buying on
speculation for the St. Louis", market, and,
do doubt, lie could fin 4 a ready sale.
The delighted countryman started, when
his informer stopped him.
Look here," says he,."when you get
over there, go up staira t and then turn to

Jefferson City, Mo.
The Irishman and the Deacon.
A few months ago, as Deacon Ingalls,
of Swampscot, was travelling through
the western part of the State of New York,
he fell in with an Irishman who hatkistely
arrived in this country, and who was in
quest of a brother that came on before hint
and settled iu some of the diggings in that
vicinity.
Pat was a strong athletic man ; a true
Catholic, and had never seen the interior
of a Protestant church. It was a pleasant
Sabbath morning that brother Ingtills met
Pat, who inquired for the nearest road to
the church.
Ingalls was a good pious man. Ho
told Pat he was going to church himself,
and invited his new made aconaintaince to
accompany him thither, his place of desti
nation being a small Methodist meeting
house near by. There was a great revi
val there at the time, and one s:if the des.
cone (who by the way, was very small in
stature,) invited brother .1. to take a seat
in his pew. He accepted the invitation
and walked in, followed by Pat, who look
ed in vain to find the altar, &c. After
he was seated he turned to brother I, and
in a whisper which could be heard all
around, 4nquirsti—
"Sure, and isn't this a heretic church r
"Hush I" said Ingalls,. , .if you speak
a loud word They willput you Cut." '
i"Divil a wordlw ill I speak atall atall,'
replied Pat.
The meeting was opened with a prayer
by the poster. Pat was eyeing him very
closely, when soddenly an old gentleman
who wee standing in the pew directly in
'hat of Pat. shouted ilory."
)fer eloar I." rejoined Pas, with his
WW whisper, which was beard by Abe
minister, "be dacent, and don't make a
blackguard of yourself."
The parson grew more and more fer
vent in the devotions. Presently the
deacon uttered an audible groan. "Eliti
st, ye blackguard, have ye no decency at all
at all ?" said Pat, at the same moment
giving the deacon a punch in the ribs,
which caused him to lose his equilibrium.
The minister stopped, and extending his
hand in a supplicating manner, said,
"Brethren, we cannot be disturbed in this
way, will some one be kind enough to put
that man nut?"
"Yes, your riverence," shouted Pat, "I
will."
And suiting the action to the word, he
collared the deacon, and to the utter horror
and astonishment of the pastor, brother
Ingalls, and the whole congregation, he
dragged him through the isle, and with a
tremendous kick a posteriori, as the logi.
ciane say, he landed him in the vestibule
of the church.
PAT AT THE PORT Orrick.—A dandy
fied looking chap, who was waiting Jur
the mail to arrive at die post-nflice, took
his seat on a chair and stuck his feet on
the window sill. Presently Patrick came
for Squire Lewis' letters. Pat chewed
tobacco; and as he too had to wait, he be
gan spitting his inice round the floor.
"I say, you fellow," said the dandy,
..ali—ah—what the tl-1 makes you
spit so, eh ?"
..Tobacey, yer honor!" said Pat. with
a merry twinkle in the corner of Ilia eye.
"Ali, possibly," said the dandy, in a
rather drawling manner, "but don't you
see you hare made the place into a regu
lar hog-pen!"
Paddy turned round, and looking the
dandy directly iu the face, replied :
"Be my sow!, yer honor. if it is a hog
pen ver making yerselt at home, any way."
The effect was startling upon the dan
dy. He Moulded from his chair, and
throwing a ferocious look at the grinning
Hibernian, he strode out of the room, mut
teriug as he went out, that "the vultowity
of these deco laweiguers was quite preps
terous."—Carpet hug.

1. And in process of time the men re•
turned, and eat again in council, even in
the great Sanhedrim in Ilaltimore.
2. And their eyes were red, but not
with weeping; and they were filled, knit
not with the spirit of wisdom.
8. And the contention waxed great a-
mongst them, and they strove together
many days.
4. Then there arose certain men of
Virginia, who said, let us gather ourselves
unto Buchanan, the Taritfue, for he,is a
Hunker indeed, in whom there i 4 great
guile '

5. His name is published in many lands,
and the sound thereof bath reached our
ears, and none can say that we are setters
forth of strange men..
6. But others cried, Nay, for he was
raised in the tents of wickedness, and
bath 'blasphemed against us in the lan.
gunge of Ashdod, saying, that he would
let out the blood of Democracy, oven with
a lancet. •
7. But the men of Virginia chive unto
him, and a certain wise man among them
said : Why do ye murmur t And where.
fore make ye• known our reproach unto
our adversaries.?
8. As for that saying, let the mentor)
thereof rot, and let the blackness of dark
ness cover it forever !
0. Wot ye not, that as the strong man
even Samson, found honey, yea, the pre
dons honeycomb, in the body of the dead
lion, so, also, my soul smelleth the savor
of sweet doctrine, yea, snuffeth the odor
of pure Democracy, in the carcass of de-
funct Federalism ?
10. But the others said :" These men be
drunken with new wine; let us rather
cleave unto Marcy, who dispensetli spoils
and giveth much raiinent . unto those that
follow after him.
I I. Then replied unto them the men of
Virginia. As fur this Marcy, we have no
inheritance in him ; let him remain, like
Asher, by the sea-shore, and dwell in his
breeches:
12. But we will gather ourselves -unto
a great man, and wise, even Dickinson,
and him only will we follow ;
13. For he bath trod in high places,
and - heen seen afar oil of all men ; for his
goings forth have licerstately AS the step
pings of the he-goat of Syria, that brouseth
upon Mount Gideon.
14. Then Dickinson bowed himselfun
to the ground, and cried unto them, say
ing, Oh, sirs, live 'forever!—howbeit for
this time, - 1 pray you, have me incased,
since I serve Louis of Michigan, and him
only,do l serve.
15. And again spake unto them the men
of Virginia, saying, Lo these many (lays
have we striven together with vain con
tention. There be giants in the land but
we will none of them.
16. Let us therefore search out some
small tnan. whose ways aro unknown, so
that the mouths or gainsayers may be
stopped. •
17. Let us, therefore, assemble our
selves unto Pierce, for he is the smallest
among ten thousand and altogether puny.
-18. For there is a path which the eagle
knoweth not and the wild goat bath rot
found, and therein limit Pierce, the son of
New Hampshire, walked ; for he is a meek
man and refoseth to sit upon a horse.
19. And it shall come to pass that as
Zoar was saved from the ruin of Sodom
because it was the least of the cities of the
plain, so shall it happen that when the
wrath of the peopto shall rain down tem
pest upon the great ones of our party, and
the lightning shall run along the ground,
it shall spare even Pierce, because he is a
little one.
20. Then Flood up before them Ryn
dere the Hittite, who was captain among
certain men of Renal, and said, Lewis I
know, and Douglass I know, lut who is
he
21. Then answered unto him a man of
New Hampshire, saying. he is like Eph
rain4 ideasant child, fur he speaketh but
low Avords, and wtheth no lettere, but he
spelleth wonderfully.
22. In his right hand he holdeth the
loaves, and with his left ho dispensed; the
fishes, even places, and ho is cunning to
catch gudgeons.
23. Moreover, brethren, he hath been
known to give alms, even ono cent, money
current with the merchant, unto a boy
that was a stranger unto him.
24. Then exclaimed Ryndera the Hit
tite, the like thereof never was heard of
in Israel ; and as my soul liveth, unless I
see with my own eyes, and feel with these
fingers, that cent, even that red cent, I will
not believe, though one arose from the
dead.
25. But the other* were a-weary, and
hungered for the loaves and fishes; so
they hearkened to the men of Virginia. and
gathered themselves unto Pierce of New
Hampshire.
28. And as for the rest of the doings
and professions of the Locos in Baltimore;
are they not written in the books ,of the
apowaphy? •
27. And it came to pass when Cass
and' Douglass heard that Pierce had been
chosen captain of the host, that they lifted
up their voices and wept,. and the Whigs

scaitered ashes on their !wads, and went

MY tits* OLD Faismos:---llife've
made out
,to ratify at last, but it was abotit
as hard a job . as it was for the Badmen,
Cohvention to nominate. And I'm afraid
the worst on% ain't over yet : for Un.
ole Joshua shakes his head and says to me,
in a low tone, so the rest shan't hear, be
tween you and me, Major, tho lection will
bm a harder job still." I put great faith in
Uncle Joshuies feeling. s a regular
political weather glass, and can always ,
tell whether we are going to have it fairor
foul, a goodways ahead. So when he a
shakes his head I miter:illy looks'out for a ,
tuff spell of 'weather. When I got home
from Baltimore, says I. “Well, Uncle a,
lasting, you goi my !nor In the intern•

bout it."
, Why don't you think," 'say . 1, "dm

Dentoeratic party on Its legs again, and
give it a fine startl"
Uncle Joshua looked up to me kind "or
quizzical. and soya he, "It has en the
party a pretty considerable ori start al—
ready, it_come so unekpeoted." And then
lie lot as muck as twu minutes aiiimadog
hie finger on the table. anti didn't say
nothin. •
And then he !Inked upttigain and says
he. "Major who is General _Pierettl'___L,.

"Why, Uncle Joshes," says I, "how
you talk ! It is General Franklin Piirces
of New Hampshire."
"Gineral Franklin Pierce, of New
ilmnpshire, is it f" says he; trweil tiww,_
Major, are you sure there is such person..
or did somebody play a host on, the Haiti

,
'Yea,' says I, "Uncle, l'rd is elite Orli as .
I am that there is such a person ail/bele
Joshua Downing. To 'Mike all sure of it.
and no mistake, I come through New
Hampshire, and went to Concord, where
hey say he lived, and asked all Abotkt bhp.
The neighbors there all knew him very
well, and showed me the house he lived in.
He wasn't at home, or I shoild a seen hint
myself, and should got his promise to
keep the Downingville post office for 'you.
But you needn't be afraid but what you'll
have it, for I sent a telegraph to hint from
Baltimore, as soon as he was nominated s
to keep it for you."
Here I see by the looks of Uncle Josh:
ua's eyes that he began to get,hold, officiate
new idea
Bays he, “Well, Major,.4tril
a feet, t .is it, that 'he 'Was notainated

"Upon my word and liontor,", says I,
there isn't a particle of joke about it; it
was all done in good earnest." „, '
"Well, then. if you've really got , h 'can

"and he'll be all the stronger' for that.* ,

"After all," save he, "I'M afield

Buchanan, and Governor Marcy, and Gisi

stilted and mortified at being pushed aside

"Don't you never fear that„Unele'.icialt.

"There's where you are mistaken again.
Uncle Joshua," lays I, "on the ccmtntry,
he goes for it better than any of 'cm; and
he telegraphed badk to Baltimore as wink
as lightning could carry it, that the nomi
nation was jest the thing, and couldn't be
no better. Ye see, he looks upon it in
the light that it chokes off all the Old fn- •
gies and leaves the field , clear for him next
time. He thinks so highly of ' the nomi
nation, and feels so patriotic about it, they
say he is going to stump it through ali the
Slates, and make speeches in favor of'
Gineral Pierce's election. You May de

very strong nomination. onellitit'll carry
all afore It; everybody is delighted' with
it, and everybody's going to go for it. I
didn't expect you to hold back a moment.
I thought you would have all things tut
and dried for a rousin ratification meeting
by the time I got home." -
"Well, you know, Major," ask/ Uncle
Joshua, "I always follow Col. Crockett's
rule, and never go ahead till I know l'in
right. How foolish we should look us
call a ratification meeting here in Dawn
ingville, and be voted right plump down.
You know the Free-Boilers are very strong
among us ; they are very strong in all the
Northern. States. And you know the Bal r
timore Convention fixed up a platform to
stand on that's all in favor of the compro•
wise and the fugitive slave law, and is
dead•set agin the Freeaoilers. Now, Me.
jor, you must have more understanding
than to think the Freesoilers Will Vet
swallow that platform, and if they does
we are dished. "
