He was a great stickler for party principles, inso much that he was sometimes induced by party zeal to violate his moral duties. On one occasion in particular, when a very important election was taking place, upon the results of which, per haps, the Very existence of his party de pended, he was 144) carried away by his party feelings, as to deposit. thirteen r4e.v for one individual at the same time in the ballot box, in defiance of-the law which provides tluit no man, to which ever party he may happen to belong, or however worthy may be his favorite candidate, shall deposits more than une ballot for any one individual for any one office SAMSON'S Wattie Martyn was unfortunately de- ! tected in this equivocal act—aiill al though no legal action was had in rela tion to the subject, yet there were those in the town in which he resided, who were unwilling to admit the excess of ; party zeal was a sufficient apology for hip dereliction of moral duty—and the I simple act of depositing thirteen votes for one candidate, at one time an the ballot box, although palliated and- ex cused by some of his warm political i I friends, was severely censured by others. This occurrence furnished a subject of conversation among the worthy citizens of the town for several weeks—at the end of which time it gradually died away, but was not forgetter. Poor Mr. Martyn was doomed to hear the words thirteen rotes occaeionally repeated by his political foes in •the most indignant mlinner--evidently with the design of disturbing the equanimity of his feelings. In this they. succeeded but too well words, so harmless in themselves, or when applied to others, if addressed to Mr. Martyn, or even lamed in his hearing, seemed to pewee the power of a magic cabala, so wonderful, and so instantaneouawas the effect which they produced on the appearance and con duct of that gentleman. The moment thirteen votes reached his ear, his features were clouded with a frown of indigna tion—his eyes were lighted up with a most unholy fire—his hands involuntari ly grasped the nearest weapon'of offence within his reach, and his voice, natural ly clear and sonorous, was changed into deep and nnearthly mutterings, resemb ling the sound of distant thunder, or the rumblings of the pent up volcano. In deed the effect produced on Sir Piercie Shafton, by the sight of the bodkin, as related in the Monastery of Sir Walter Scott, was not more sadden and terrible than the effect produced on Wattie Martin, by repeating the words " thir teen votes." His weakness on this, point was proverbial, and a wicked youth of the' village, now a very worthy and respecieble legal practitioner in the city orßoston, once made Martyn's infirmi ty the means of playing off a mischiev ous and cruel praetiod joke, to the great amusement of the bystanders. . Mr. Smith, the young gentleman to whom we allude, being one day at the village tavern, entered into csmversation withagenteellookingstranger,while the landlady was preparing some refresh ment, with which to refresh the ex hausted frame and spirits of her guest. The oonversation turned on the difficul ty of pronouncing some of the names of places of Indian origin, which are so of ten met with in the New England States. In the midst of the colloquy, Mr. Smith saw his political opponent, Wattie Martyn, ooming down the road. He was certain that. Wattie would pop into the tavern, and in the spur of the moment, laid his plans accordingly'. ‘, What you say, sir," said Mr. Smith, " respecting those jaw -breaking names, is perfectly correct—l agree with you entirely, and am much gratified to.make the acquaintance of a gentleman of so A DEMOCRATIC AND FAMILY JOURNAL. The Vision of Isaiah. A TRUE STORY. I= GETTYSBURG, PENN'A.: MONDAY, JUNE 1, 1857. much testa. Bat t my dear sir, there are familiar English words, which, al though they may not be very difficult to pronounce, are exeeedingly difficult to repeat. For Instaisee it is almost impossible for any one not familiar with the practice, to pronounce the words thirteen rotes, thirteen rotes, thirteen votes, for any length of time, without making the most ludicrous mistakes." "Thirteen votes! thirteen rotes! thir• teen votes!" repeated the stranger. "1 donot see any difficulty in that. I could ge on repeating the words thirteen votes ! thirteen vote.; ! thirteen votes ! until. to-morrow morning !" "It is far more difficult, mydear sir, than you imagine," replied Mr. Smith in his blandest manner. "I am not much in the habit of betting, but for the curiosity of the thing, I am willing to bet you the price of a dinner for your self and horse, that you cannot repeat the words 'thirteen votes, thirteen votes, thirteen votes,' fifteen minutes, without making some egregious blun ders)." " Done," said the traveller—who re joiced at the idea of paying the land lord's charges so easily—" and I will begin at once." So saying, he took out his watch and noted the time—then planting himself firmly against the wall, with his face towards the door, he as sumed a look of great determination, as if he had undertaken an unpleasant job, but was resolved to go through with it at all hazards—and, commenced pro nouncing in a hind clear voice, with due emphasis and discretion, the cabalistic words, " thirteen votes I thirteen votes thirteen votes:" In the meantime. Mr. Marten, not dreaming of the insult that awaited him, bent his steps, as he was wont, towards the tavern., As ho reached the thres hold of the door, he heard the offensive words, "thirteen votes! thirteen votes ! thirteen votes!" pronounced—and with frame trembling with passion, mist with fury strongly imprinted on his rubicund visage, he abruptly entered the bar room, to confront the man who dared thus) triffe with his feelings, and attempt to overwhelm him with insult. His eye, beaming with wrath, MI upon the stranger, who regarded him withering glances with the most pro voking indifferenzel—and who paused not a moment in his recitation, but con tinued to repeat the maddening words, "thirteen vote's! thirteen votes : thir teen votes:" Thu indignant_ Martin next caught a eight of M. Smith, convulsed with laughter--" What, is the meaning of this, sir," said he in a voice of thunder. But the only reply be received watt from the mouth of the stranger, who, with the most irritating pertinacy, contin ued to bawl, even louder than before, " thirteen votes: thirteen votes thirteen votes :" Marlyn then advanced towards the stranger, his frame absolutely quivering with rage. 4 , Who are you, scoundrel ?" demanded he in the most imperious manner, “ands how dare you insult me in this way ?" The stranger thought the rage of Marten was eounterfeited, sad a rase of Smith's to wilt the wager; and the an swer to his question, shouted out in a still louder voice than before, was " thir teen votes ! thirteen votes ! thirteen votes !" "I will not put up with this insult," screamed Martyn, doubling up his list and putting himself in an attitude. "Thirteen votes I thirteen votes! thir teen votes !" vociferated the stranger at the top of his lungs. "If you repeat those words again I will knock you down, yon rascal, said the infuriated Martyn, with a howl of desperation. The stranger felt somewhat indignant at being addressed in this rude and un ceremonious manner, but be was de termined to win the wager, and raising his voice, buwled oat with the lungs of a mentor, "thirteen .votes: thirteen votes! thirteen votes !" " Take that for your insolence," shriek. ; ed Martyr*, ' the action to the word, awl giving htekless traveller a box on the ear which Laid him pros trate on the floor. But as the stranger fell, his yell of surprise, anger and agony, took the sound of •" thirteen votes t thirteen votes! thirteen votes l" Highly lexaeperated at what be con ceived to be a base and unfair contriv es/0e to cheat him opt of his wager, the stnisiger rose in high dadgeon, still ex claiming in a voice which a boatswain in a hurricane might have envied, "thirteen voteal thirteen votes! thir teen votes r! and fell pell meld upon poor Martyn, pounding him without mosey, and bellowing out. between every blow, " thirteen votes!" The traveller finally kicked Martyn out of the room, and as he closed the door upon the unlucky illegal voter, he looked; at his wateb--saw that the fif teen minutes had already expired—gave a loud and exulting shout of "thirteen Wm! TWATIEN verge! THIRTEEN VOTES !" which made the welkin. ring again --sank exhausted in a chair and claimed the wager. • lieriThen Fenelon was almoner to Louis XIY., his Majesty was astonish ed to find one Sunday instead of a nu merous ooup.egation only him and the priest.

Serving a Subpaana. It is singular what shifts love will make to accomplish its objects. Both gates and bars are of little avail against Cupid's pick-lock contrivances---his cun ning will devise ways and means to open them all. A young gentleman had courted a fair damsel of this city and it was supposed that the two is time would "become one." Some little quarrel of a trivial nature, as lover's quarrels gener ally are, occurred. Neither would con fess the wrong to be on their side— presents and correspondence were mutu ally sent back and the match was bro ken off. The , young gentleman imme diately started off to New Orleans, to enter into commercial business, think ing that distance would lessen the at tachment he really felt for the young lad v. When a woman is injured, or' thinks she is injured, by the one she loves, she is more apt to than the male sex "to bite off her own nose," as the saying is, to inflict pain, and be revenged on the offending object. A gentleman thqt the young lady had once rejected re newed his proposals and was accepted within a week after her old lover had embarked for ,the South. Ou reaching New Orleans he found that distance, instead of weakening his attachment, only made the lady dearer, and he be came melancholy and low spirited. The first letter he received from New York from a friend of his, announced that his old flame was shortly to be married to another. His course was quickly taken—the next morning saw him on hoard a packet-ship bound for Gothain. The passage'unfortunately was long, and the Poor fellow chafed and fretted KO much that the par-sengers began to think him deranged or else a fugitive from justice. The instant the vessel touched the wharf he darted for the of. fie,: of his friend, the lawyer. it is to be supposed the latter was much sur prised to see his friend, imagining him? a couple thousand miles away. Af ter the usual salutations, ho exclaimed : "My dear fellow, you are in time to sec the wedding. Miss —, you? old sweetheart, is to be married this !horn ing at eleven o'clock. Tu tell you the truth, I don't believe there is much love about it, and the girl really thinks more of one hair of your head than the fortunate bridegroom's whole body." "Good 'leaven: Where is she tole inarrieil—in church?" " No, at her father's holies." "My clear yes, I will have it. Have you any case coming on in either of the courts at II o'clock ?" "Yes." "Then fill up a subpoena with the bridegroom's name. Don't stop.to ask any questions. It matters not Whether he knows anything about the , parties in the suit. by Heavens! Julia shall be mine" His friend saw the 'object at once, and promised to carry on the matter. The subpena was made out and placed in the hands of the clerk to serve on the I unsuspecting bridegroom the instant he' should leave his residence, and was dis patched in a cab to watch the house. About ten minutes before eleven, as the soon-to-be happy man was about enter ing. a coach before the door of his residence, he was served with a sub-' piens. "Can't help it," said the clerk, in re ply to his gesticulating about "not knowing the parties, going to be mar ried," " We Shan t reach the Hall before eleven—imprisonment for eon tempt," ice. The bridegroom, who was rather of a timid nature, finally consented, partic ularly as the clerk promised to send a friend of his who sat in the cab wrap ped up in a large cloak, explaining the reasons of his absence. The read er can imagine who this person was. Eleven o'clock came, but still no bridegroom. The guests were staring at each other—the priest began to grow impatient—and the bride that was to be, looked pale and agitated. when a carriage drove np and the bell rung,' " There he is! There• he is I" murmured many voices. A gentleman did enter, whose ap pearant*created almost as much aston ishment as that of Edgar Ravenswood in the Hall of Ashton Castle at the marriage of Lucy Ashton, in Scott's "Beige of Lammermoor." - The lady fainted; private explanations ensued between the parade awl the real lover, and the result was that, in ten minutes after, the two real lovers were joined in the sacred bonds of matrimony, mach to the satisfaction of all The bridegroom that-was-to-have been, afterwards made his appearance puffing and blowing, What he said and what he did, on beholding his rival, and beingmade acquainted with the condition of affairs, was really tragic comical. The story of the subpoena shortly af terwards leaked out, and has created so much amusement, that the poor Niel* declares he will sue the lawyer for ten thousand dollars damages in subpoena ing him as a witness in a case of which ho knew nothing, and by which he lost a wife. It will be a novel suit indeed, if he should do so.—New York Paper. A Just Sentence Prortouncrd.—The Louisville Democrat says: " When the Know Nothings seized with unholy hands upon the Washing ton monument, they proclaimed thus: 'The sum (1,000,000) must be raised by the councils of our order, or we must suffer indelible disgrace and become a by word.' Well, the sum is not raised, and the directors have scandal9asly abused their trust. Let this sentence pronounced in advance be executed." fessi tie Gersisestrea Tologrspli Tilling Coan. . Ma. Enrron :--Owing to the lateness of the season, the .eorn was put in the ground, in Eastern Pennsylvania, later than usual, and I presume farmers have made use of everything they could con veniently get to force the growth of it. Now, the best way of tilling, is the next thing; the old way of passing a two horse harrow over the top of it and tearing a large portion of it out, I think rather behind the times. I will admit that what remains after the harrow has passed over it, growithe better for be ing well scratched about the hills. But I think a better way is when the corn is fit to harrow, say three or four inches high, to use a three-cornered tooth har row for one horse, made with handles to steady it ; pass such a harrow each way clase to the hills, and with a careful hand it will he well harrowed. Next take the cultivator, the hoes of which should scour, as it will be much lighter for the horse to draw; pass this each way until the corn is large enough to take care of itself. I have abandoned the use of the plowin the cornfield, af ter the corn is up, entirely ; I can see no advantage in plowing corn. I would add that in my opinion, it is very bad policy to work eorn\ when the ground is wet ; it is seldom too dry; it is u rare thing to see corn tilled too much, but quite frequently it can be seen half till ed ; and then we hear complaints of crops.

Cure for Bots in Bore,eB.—Drew's Rural Intelligencer says, an intelligent gentlemen of our acquaintance ; who has fo/ years been largely concerned in the management of horses, called at the Rural Ufflee a few weeks ago, to say that he knew, by experience, of a rem edy for huts in horses, which is sure to expel them from any one of the' race afilieted with those dangerous insects. The medicine is nothing more or less than common fish pickle,—that from 'mackerel is perhaps best;—one com mon junk bottla f full will generally dis lodge the "varmints,"---sometimes a second one may be necessary. To use his own words, "this is a perfect cure —no mistake." Some persons mistake the bellyache for buts. The latter may be ktelown by the horse drawing down his tail, and giving it a peculiar motion.. There is no such appearance in cases of mere bellyache. Theory qf hoof-Ail and Hollow Horn. —Mr: M. J. Johnson, in a late number of the Ohio Cultiratar, gives the follow ing as his views upon these two diseas es to which cattle are frequently sub jected :—This hoof-ail is caused by cold weather. Chickens' are subject to the same disorder in very cold weather, es pecially if they have not been well fed, and are not in . good roasting order. Hollow-horn proceeds from the same cause. If cattle are not fed on nourish ing diet, and provided with a warm bed in very cold weather, hoof-ail or hollow-horn is very apt to overtake them.—Sometitnes the freezing in the feet or horns is so slight that it is not dismverable fur some weeks or even months. The cause and preventive is as much as I can give. Ticis Heifer Calves sot Barren.—The impression is very common, sa The Hone lead, that twin heifers are barren, and many of them are, as calves, con signed to the butcher in consequence. That this impression is quite unfounded is known to many, A subscriber in Westfield, Mr. Alvan Fowler, communi cates the fact that he has a pair of twin cows, twelve years old, very fine ani mals, worth at least $75 apiece ; each of them has had eight calves. Ho has seen a statement in the Massachusetts Plogyhnurn, confirming the false idea that people should never-raise twin heifer calves, and otTers this fact now to controvert it. oft., l l.lecent experiments prove that a frequent muse of one: in wheat is the heating of the meet? is the mow. One who has tried, recommends to let wheat for seeditand until. quite ripe before cutting, Oea then pot it on s scaffold until fully cured. The wheat raised from seed thus treated, was not injured by smut. sir The little I have seen of the world and known of the hiiitory of mankind teaches me to look upon the errors of others in sorrow, not anger. When I take the history of the poor heart that has sinned and suffered, and repre sent to myself the straggiesand tempts"- tioas it has passed thirough ; the bngh pulsation of joy ; ..thaleveriah inqui , ,, tude of hope and fear; the pressu . of want; the desertion of' friends; the scorn of the world that has little chari ty; the desolation of the soul's sanctua ry and threatening vices within ; health gone—l would fain have the erring soul of my fellow man with him from whose hands it came. !Alen.AtiAg.—The census of the United States shows that we have two millions and a half of &raters, one hundred thousand merchants, sixty-four thous and masons, and nearly two hundred thousand carpenters, - We have four teen thousand bakers to bake our broad; twenty-four thousand lawyers to seLus by the ear; forty thousand doctors to kill or cure, and fifteen hundred editors to keep this motley mass in order by the potent power of public opinion con trolled and manufactured through the press. ge 6 .There is a colored man, of the name of Williams, at present performing in Toronto, who plays on eight instruments at once, and is thus a band of music in himself. Chi. Good Turn Deserves Another. A tinker was travelling in a country town, and, having traversed many wea ry miles without finding anything to do he stopped, weary and hungry, at a tav ern. Here he got in conversation with a glazier to whom he related his trou bles. The latter sympathized with him deeply, and telling him he should have a job before long. advised him to go into his dinner, and eat heartily.—The tink er took his advice, ate his fill, and when he returned to the bar he was overjoyed to hear that the• landlord required his services, to mend a lot of pane and kettles which had suddenly sprung a leak. The tinker at once fell to work, ac complished the task, was liberally re warded, and started on his way rejoic ing. Upon reaching the outside of tire haw, he found the glazier, who said— "Well, you see, I told you tho truth, I procured you the job of work, and how do you think I accomplished it?" "I am sure 'cannot tell," replied the tinker. "I will tell ,you," rejoined the gla zier; "you told me you were weary, hungry and penniless. I knew the landlord was well off and doing a good business, so Lwatc•hcd the opportunity, and started a leak in every tin utensil I could get hold of." The tinker, with many thanks and a heart fall (if gratitude, resumed his journey, but ho had not proceeded ma ny yards before he reached the village church, when a brilliant idea struck him. The-glazier had befriended him —he would befriend the glazier. The church, he thought, could afford to bear a slight loss in- a good cause, so taking a position where he could not be seen, he riddled every window in the edifice with stones, and then, highly elated with his exploit, he retraced his steps to notify the glazier he would speedily have a very important job.—He met the glazier at the door of the tavern. "Sir," said he, "I am happy to in form you that fortune has enabled me to return the kindness I received from you an hour since." "How so r" asked the glazier, pima antiv. "I have broken every pane of glass in the church," answered the tinker, "and you will, of course, be employed to put them in again." The glazier's jaw fell, and his face as sumed a blanleexpression, us he said in a tremulous tope— "You don't mean that, do you!" "Certainly," returned the tinker; "there isn't a whole pane of glass in the building. One good turn deserves *moth er, you know." "Yes," answered the glazier, in a tone of utter despair, "but, you scoun drel, you have twined me, for I keep the church windows in repair by the year !" *Es_ The Chicago papers expose a heartless piece of extortion, practiced by a man named Moore, landlord of the Merchants' Hotel, Chicago, upon a poor and friendless woman, who was on her way, with three little children, from Hudson, N. Y., to Fond du Lac, Wis consin. For the privilege of sitting in , the public room of his house, without fire o refreshment, a few hours, while wait . g for the .Milwaukie train to start, this Shylock charged and extorted four dollato—all she had le ft . Complaint, howiter, was made to the Police, and the landlord reluctantly restored the money. It is safe *to avoid a house kept by such an unconscionable landlord.

TWO DOIILARS A-TEA4:- 'knows .Ascension.—Lwdkrotas 'Term"- nation..-For Moue weeks, says the -411 ' Montgomery Watchman, it has been an nounced that one Professor &slung.% would make a Balloon Ascension for • the edification and amusement of tho good people of Pottstown. The affair was announced on the bills to take place on Saturday last. According to appointment, the Professor was oh' hand with his balloon, but it aptmars • the Gas Company were unable to ftir nish him with a sufficient quantity or gas to inflate the Balloon. After an an- noying delay, he succeeded in getting it' something more than one-third full 'of gas, and, after divesting himself of all i the extra weight he possibly could, 'he - sprang aboard, cut the cords, and . nwnY l he went'! But, lo: upon 'reaching' a, height of about 50 feet, "der mersheeao" was suddenly seized with a backWyd' motion, and came down "kersouttel u , into the bosom of the venerable "Mara tawny." After considerable flounder-' ing, kicking, hallooing and shouting, the half-drowned Professor and Ida "mersheene" Were safely landed on terra' o f t firma. Whether or not the 44 difekiii " 1 the Professor received, cooled his a or' for an serial flight from that local y, w.! have not been informed. - , A Dear Shot.—Daring the last win.: ter a farmer in the upper part of the county was solely annoyed by the 111=', cursions of a neighbor's' cattle on shocks of fodder. Forbearing fltm ' time to time, he was at length thorough - 1 , ly groused one of those bleak, snowy days, with the announcement that hid fallen dolefully on his ears half* dozen, times before—that Mr. —'s cattle' were eating up all his fodder. Without' taking any thought, oar incensed far mer seized his "rifle, powder and shot," and made forthwith for his stacks of fodder. Loading as he went, lie felt in his pocket for wadding, and without looking at tlit paper, down he rammed it. Raving reached the spot he fired away, when all at once he felt soma misgivings as to the character of the wadding used. Subsequent examiah; timi proved that he had used a small roll of bank notes in his vest pocket of the value of 8150. Rather a dear shot:: —li-clericksburg Herald. Another Clerical Delinquent—The% ton Bee states that a committee appoint; ed by the New England Conference of' the Methodist Episcopal Church report,. that the Rev. D. L. Gear, of Lynn, has, in their opinion, been proved guilty o f lying, fornication, and finery. This : is a deplorable state of things, most every day brings to usinteffligerion, that this or that member of the Clerical' profession in New England has forgot ten his duty to himself, his people, and: his Maker, and has been tread'in'g the dark path of infamy and shame. Di it not time that those of our clergy are jealous of the fair fame and ejllci a.; tv of the Gospel ministry should exiit themselves to purge from their ran if; those lecherous wolves in sheep's cloth'', ing, who are doing such fricaletilable ah jury to the cause of religion? In th4tie zeal to point out the follies and sins in the world around them, is it not proba ble that they may have overlooked the , •indiseretions" of their own class! We suggest that in future it would be in good taste for them to rebuke the 'rut = dividual sins" of clerical delinquents, a - well as to preach against every other' form of vice.—Springfield Argus.
