Assignee's Sale
Poet's C)c)rsalr..
Dip down upon the Northern shore,
0 sweet new year, delaying keg ;
Thou doest expectant nature wrong,
Delaying long ; delay no more.
What stays thee from the clouded noons,
Thy sweetness from its proper place?
Can trouble live with April days,
Or sadness in the summer nexus?
Bring orchis, bring the fox-glove spire,
The little speedwell's darling blue,
Deep tulips dashed with fiery dew,
Laburnums, dropping-wells of fire.
0, thou, sew year, delaying long,
Delayest thezorrollr in my blood,
That longs to berm a frozen bud,
And good a fresher throat with tong
Now fader the last long streak of snow ;
Now bargeous every maze of quick
About the flowering square, and thick
By ashen roots the violets blow.
Now rings the woodland loud and long,
The dim/ince takes a lovelier hue,
And drowned In yonder living blue
The lark becomes a sightleos song.
Now dance the lights on lawn and lea,
The flocks are whiter down the vale,
And milkier every milky mil
On winding stream or distant sea.
Where now the seamew pipes, or dives,
In yonder greening gleanf, and fly
The happy birds, that change their sky,
To build and brood, that live their lives.
From land to land ; and in my breast
Spring wakens too; and my segret
Becomes an April violet,
And buds and blossoms like the rest.
Miscellaneous_
Two Linda of Genuine Three Cent
Pieces.
It has been currently stated that bogus
three cent pieces are as plenty as genuine
ones. A Dighampton, New York, banker
addressed a letter to the Director of the Phila
delphia Mint on the subject and received the
following answer, which is of general in
interest:
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of the VA ult.. enclosing two three
cent pieces. which are both genuine, but of
different issues. When three cent coin wee
first issued it was required by, law to be Nit
750 Onusandthat fine. When the law was
changed, ()larch 2, 18504 and it was requir
ed to be struck in standard silver, the same
as the other silver coins, it became necessary
to distinguish the new issue, and for this
purpose a double line was engraved on the
die around the star on the obverse; and with
in the letter C. on the reverse, there was add
ed. above the numerals 111. a sprig of olives,
and beneath three arrows. Many persons,
in noticing the difference between the two
issues, suppose one or the other to be spuri
ous, which of course is a mistake. There are
counterfeit three cent pieces in circulation,
but they are thicker than the genuine.
An Editor in Heaven.
4 paper published in a neighboring State,
after basin, a long obitusu7 of s deceased
brother of the quill, thus, in glowing strains,
concludes :
"Ate we not glad also that such an editor
is in Heaven?"
" Then the cry of 'more copy,' shall never
again fall upon his distracted ears. Then he
shag never be abused any more by his
antagonists, with lies and‘traetions that
should shame a demon to promulgate. There
he shall be no more used as a ladder for the
aspiring to kick down as they reach the de•
sired height, and need him no more. There
be shell be able•to see the.immense masses of
mind he has moved, all unknowingly and un
known. performing as he has been his weary
pilgrimage on earth. There he will find all
articles credited, nor a clap of his thunder
stolen—and there shall be' no horrid typo
graphicz.l errors to set him in a fever. We
are glad the editor is in Heaven."
Trusting Innocence.
A backwoodsman who had never seen a
pair of sugar-tongs. being invited to a tea
party, requested a person who unhappily sat
near him to give some information respecting
its use. "Itis a very ingenious instrument,"
said the cruel wag, 6‘ which has been lately
invented fur the purpose of blowing the nose.
It is now in use in genteel society, and it is
expected that the disgusting custom of using
the fingers will be altogether abolished !"
The sugar dish was handed around ; the un
fortunate %lion" seised the tongs and the po
lite part of the assembly were scandalized at
the outre application of the instrument, and
the tremendous explosion which followed.
A Seaktible Revenge.—A "thrilling tragedy"
was enacted in Bangor, Me., the other night.
An honest Scotch shoethaker found his wife
and a perildiocut neighbor as they should not
be, and instead of killing them on the spot,
dragged them toe table and eompelled them
to sign a confession, with an agreement to
pay the expenses of procuring a divorce.
Sono Tisaber.—The Beading"Adlee states
that Mr. laixib Keret, residing two miles froze
that city, last week felled an :sit tree, which
furnished forty ribs for large canal boats; a
saw l♦g 27 feet long, and 5 feet 7 inches in

IT ♦LIIID TIMITSOIII
"METH DI MONTY, AND WILL PRIVAIL."
Biddy Xsloners Cat
Mathew Maloney, better known by the boys
of the mill as " Father Mat," on returning
from work one erasing, was met at the gate
by Biddy, his better half, in a high state et
excitement.
" kat," says she, " there's a strsop cat in
the enbin."
"Cast her oat thin, an' don't be botberin'
me about the baste."
" Fail, an' I've been sthrivin' to do that
same for thc matcher of ten minutes past, but
ebe's just beyant ruche, buhint the big
red chist In the Wear. Will yes be after
belpin' me to drive her oat, Mat?"
To be sure I will, bad luck to the eonaste
she has for me house; show her to me, Biddy,
till I tache her the rispiet that's due to a man
in his own house--to be takin' possession
wid
out as much as by your Iwo, the thafe o' the
world I"
Now Mat had a special antipathy for eats,
and neverlet pass an opportunity to kill one.
This he resolved to do in the present ease, and
instantly formed a plan for the purpose.—
Perceiving but one mode of egress for the
animal, he says to Biddyi
" Have yes ivir a male bag in the house,
me darlint ?"
" Diril a wan is there, Mat. Yes tok it to
mill wid yes to bring home chips wid, tbis
mornin'."
"Fail, an' I did, and there it MIK thin.
Well, hare yes nothiag at all hi house
that will tie up like a bag, Biddy ?"
"Troth, an' I have, Mat, there's me Sun
day petticoat—ye can dhraw the strings close
at the top, an' sure it will de betther nor let
tin' the cat be /krill' yes."
" Biddy darlint, yes a jewel to be thinkin'
of that same; be either bringin' it to me."
Biddy brought the garment, and when the
strings were drawn close it made a very good
substitute for a meal bag, and Mat declared
it was "illegent."
So holding it close against the edger of the
chest, he took a look• behind and saw a pair
of bright eyes glaring at him.
" An' is it there ye art., ye divil f Be oat
of that DO bad luck to all your kin, je
thavin' vagabone ye. Beef. an' ye won't•
lave me house at all thin volir Feeble azin7---

Dash went the water, and out jumped the
cat into Mat's trap.
" Arrah, be the howly poker, I have im in,
Biddy," says Mat, drawing close the folds of
the garment ; "now bad:oess to yes, ye thafe,
its nine lives ye have, is it? Be afther axin'

lives ye hue won't save ye now, any way.—
Biddy, seise honk of the poker, an' whip ,'U
shoulder the haythen yell bate the daylights

Mat threw the bundle over his shoulder,
and told Biddy to play " St. Patrick's day in
the morning" on it. Biddy struck about
three notes of that popular liish air, and au+
denly stopped exclaiming:
" What spills su guars. Mat f It's takiW'
me brith away wid the power in it. Och,

" Bate the said hatheo,•thia ; Yet Hir

take me out of this."
Mat drew her out of doors, and then broke
for the pump like a quarter horse, closely
followed by Biddy.
"Shure, that little rillain bates the divil
intirely ; he's ruined me house, an' kilt Bid
dy, an' put me out o' oonsate wid meself for
a month to come. Och, the desairin' yap,
bone, bad luck to him," and Mat plunged
his head into the horsertrough up to his
shoulders.
"Get ont o' that, Mat, I'm nearly blind,"
and Biddy went under the water. "Gob, the
tu urtburi n' baste ," says Biddy, sputtering the
water out of her mouth, "me beat petticoat

Mat and Biddy went cautiously back to the
cabin, from which the offensive quadruped
had taken his departure. Thitip were turn
ed out of doors, Biddy's petticoat buried. the
bed, which fortunately escaped, moved to a
near neighbor's, the stove zubved outride, and
for a week they kept house out of doors, by
which time, by dint of hard scrubbing, wash
ing, and airing, the house was readerid ones
more habitable, but neither Mat nor Biddy
has %rgotten the "strange cat."

Ooe of the most eloquent efforts we have
read for a bog while, is the opening speech
for the defence, in the Sickles trial, at Wash
ington, made by Mr. Graham, on Sathrday
week. The following extract is truly touch
ing : •
This is to me the time for solemn though
and I rise to address you, laboring from a se
vere struggling feeling. It is a beautiful
sentiment, better expressed in the Latin than
in the translation, ".Amieoe res °plaice pari
tint, adverse probe:at" prosperity is the per
rent of friends, but misfortune is the fire in
which they are tried. Friendship is the
most sacred of all artificial, as distinguished
from our natural attachments ; it stands next
to those which by the hand of nature have
been interwoven with the objects which she
herself creates. Uponsehe altar of this — relae*
tion, I cast my present offering. It ,
with it theiinction of warm heart - -may it
to be an efficacious tribute in favor of
my client. I have been the companion of his
sunshine; I am now called here to participate
in the gloom of his present afiliction. Trouble
is a mysterious visitor ; it seems to be the un
shunable doom of man. It has been well
said that although " affliction cometh net
forth from the dust, neither doth trouble
spring out of the ground "—that " man is
born unto trouble as the sparks fly upward"
—that same great influence which has im
pressed laws upon all the departments of
creation—which has studded the heavens
' with their fires, and ordained the boundary
line between the day and the night—that
same great influence which stretches ever
the hies of nature verdure's green mantle,
and again supplants it with the less pleasing
dress of winter—that same great influence
which hal designated the time for the drop.
pingefthe leaves and the falling of the spar
rows, is the will which guides the hand that
holds the rod with which. in this life, we are
punished: As we pass through the proceed
ings in which we are here engaged-, may we
be permitted to reach the result which I oon
fidently anticipate, the congratulation of this
defendant for the severe ordeal through
which he has passed. " Behold, happy is
the man whom God oorrecteth ; therefore de
spise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
He maketh sore and he bindeth up ; he
woundeth and hie hands make whole. He
shall deliver thee in six troubles; yea, in
seven there shall no evil touch thee."
A few weeks since the bady of a human be
ing was found in the threes df death, in one
of the streets of your city. It proved to be
the body of a confirmed and haoitnal adulter
er. On allay too sacred to be profaned by
worldly toil—on a day when he was forbid
den to moisten his brow with the stain of
honest labor—on a day when he should have
risen shave the grossness of his nature—and
though on no other days he had sent his as
pirations heavenwards, be should have al
lowed them then to pass in that direction--
we find him besieging with the most evil in-
Willett@ that castle where, for their security
and repose, the law had placed the wife and
child of his neighbor. Had he observed the
velem* precept, " Remember the Sabbath day
to keep it holy," he might at this moment
have formed one of the living. The injured
father and husband rushed upon him in the
moment of bin guilt, and, under the infirm/me
of a frenzy, executed upon him a judgment
which was as just as it was summary. The
issue whichyou are to decide here is whether
this ant renders its author amenable to the
laws of the land. In the decision of this is
ms*. gentlemen of the jury, you bare a deep
and solemn interest. You are here to fix the
price of the marriage bed ; you us here to
say in what estimation that, sacred couch is
held by an honest and intelligent American
jury. You are favored citizens. You live in
thi e leZ which constitute* the seat of oar
seent—a city consumed to
liberty aCZ T : i II others ; but not to the liber
ty of the libertine—a city bearing the name
of the illustrious Washington," the father of
his country," of whom it has been emphati
cally and truly said. that he was " first in
war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of
his countrymen." You may feel a pity in
reviewing the occurrence, fur the life which
has been taken ; you may regret the necessi
ty which constrained that event. But while
you pity the deed, remember also, that 'you
should extend commiseration to the living.--
You know not how soon the wife or daugh
ter of some of you might be—in fact. you
know not but what they had already been—
marked by the same eyes which destroyed
the marriage relations of this defendant.--
You know not how soon the gardens of love
lines, over which you now preside, bad that
life been spared, would have been called upon
to yield their flowers to satisfy the insatiable
appetite of the deceased. • To interfere with
the marriage relation, must strike every re
flecting mind as the greatest wrong that can
be committed upon a human being. It baa
been well said that affliction, shame. poverty,
captivity, are preferable,—and I do not know
that I can express the sentiment more hap
pily than in reciting the lines which the
greatest dramatist has placed in the mouth of
the Moor, over the supposed discovery of the
inconstancy of Desdemona:
"Had it pleased Heaven
To try me with affliction; had he raised
Alf kinds of sores and shames on my bare head;
Steep'd me in poverty to the very lips;
Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes ;
I should have found in some part ofmy soul
A drop of patience ; but (alas,) to make me
A fixed figure for the hand (Acorn
To point his slow, unerring finger at;
0! 0!
Yet I could bear that too; well, very well
But there where I have garnered up my heart,
Where either I must lice or bear no life;
The fountain from the which my current runs
Or else dries up ; to be discarded thence,
Or keep it its a cistern for foal toads [there,
To knot sod gender in! Turn thy complexion
Patience! thou young and rose lipp'd cherablum,
Ay, there, look grins as hell."

The Delaware Division Fraud.
Commie. Juzd r Coesdemexed oat ef kis owe
Jfinefk.—No single event had a stronger influ
ence in inducing the State Convention to re
pudiate Governor Packer, than his suspicious
eionneetion with the Sunbury, and Erie sub
sale. The fact that be bad, as a liandidate,-.
denounced the mile of the main line, and that,
as governor, he sided and abetted transactions
compared with which that operation was pure,
has never been satifactorily explained.—
When a public man of ability deliberately en
gages in the perpetration of a fraud, he gen
erally has the art to cover up his tracks, but
a men wbo is week in proportion to his ven
ality. often proves his own accuser. Gover
nor Packer has oaposed himself upon the
face of the mama, as we will premed to show
to the honest eitirAms of this plundered Com
monwealth.
The third motion of the sot for the sale of
the Stabs Canals, empowers the Sunbury and
Eris Railroad Company to re-sell said canals.
and the int proviso to the section declares—
" That no such sale or transfer shall be
made lkT the Banbury and Erie Railroad Com
pany without the yttrium consent end approv
al of the Governor, to be filed in the office of
the Secretary of the Commonwealth, being
ref bad and obtained."
The object of this proviso was to protect
the iliterest of the State; she being by the
terms of the sot, entitled to seventy-five per
cent. elite excess obtained upon re-sale over
the price paid by the company. The appro
val of the Governor was a condition prece
dent to the sale or transfer of the canals to
third parties. No such sale or transfer could
be legally consummated without the Gover
nor filed his written assent in the office of the
Secretary of the Commonwealth. This pee
caution was adopted to prevent the Company's
selling the canals for an inadequate price, and
thus defrauding the State out of the seventy.-
five per cent. which she had reserved upon
the advance obtained by the Conpany. !sow
what was the duty of the Governor? What
would an Executive solicitous fur the welfare
of the State. have done under such circum
stances? There is but one soberer. lie
would have pursued the terms of the act
strictly, have required the Company to obtain
the largest price for the canals, and only giv
en his official sanction to sell and transfer to
parties offering the highest and best price.—
This way his duty, his plain, his only duty.
But what did be ao? Out of his own mouth
to the Legislature he saes:—
" After the ecustract for the sale of the Dela
ware Division had been entered into, and my
consent had been verbally given, and $75,000
of the purchase money bad been actually paid
by the purchasers, upon the faith of the con
tract, drafty assent thereto, (his verbalissent
reatesnlw_l} I was informed that a higher
price bad been offered by responsible persons,
for the canal. Bat under the cirenetArtanees,
my opinion was that the offer came too late;
and as the Railroad Company considered it.
self bound to consummate the agreement, by
a delivery of the deed and possession of the
property to the first purchasers, I could not
in reed faith, withhold my assent.",
We search the sat of Assembly in vaip for
the passage wherein the Governor deuced
the power to bind the State by a verbal as
sent. Re was peremptorily commanded not
to allow the sole or transfer to be mode with
out his widen assent. What right had he to
depart.frota the letter of the law t He says
expresaly, that the company purchasing paid
$75,000 upon the faith of the oontrset to
which his verbal assent had been given.--

"Carrying out the
y Principles of our
Part."
The Detroit Free Press tells the fallowing
of the present Governor of Michigan, sad
Judson, whose daughter ran off with a lame
negro. She was simply carrying out the
rinciples of the Republichn party, as sae
learned them in the house of her father: The
negro must have felt "perfectly at boas."
there, where he could at the table, sop bjs
bread in the meat platter, and elsewhere take
his dessert from the lips of the daughter
"It Is not our intention to write thirbi--
ography of the amiable Judson, whose daugh
ter ran away with the lame nigger, but some
of the numerous little incidents that come to
our knodhxige are too good to keep, and we
could not refrain from telling them, even if
their peculiar zest were not materially fa
creased the connection above referred to.
One of the best of these, illustrating the un
adulterated penchant for Ethiopians, is the
following: When Governor Wane:. was In
the midst of the campaign which resulted in
his election two months since, he bad occa
sion to visit the premises of the amiable Jud-•
son. Dinner hoar arrived previous to his
departure, and he was invited by the host to
stay and take pot luck' with them, which,
after the manner of politicians, be blandly
consented to do.
"He was slightly taken aback when, upon
preparing to perform hie customaryeblutio j os
be was shown a dish fur that purpose whic h
he had just seen a big darkey use, bat being
a candidate he swallowed his repugnance,
and soaped and scrubbed away manfully un
til he was satisfied, when he walked in to din
ner. Beefing himself, he was accosted by his
host with, 'Don't know as you're used to this
kind of thing, but I make it a rule to cam'
out the principles of the party, and let 'em
feel perfectly at home.' The Governor eased
a little at this, and looked for the solution;
which was made manifest presently in the
person of two big niggers, who sat beside
him, pegging into fet pork and boiled pats
toes in a perfectly independent, and free-and. :
easy manner. ' Yes, muss,' said one of them
as he reached o',er and sopped a piece of
bread in the meat platter, rolling up the
whites of his eyes at the Hon. Moses, ' we's
good as white folks here. Heap site' better'n
line' in town and stealin' chickens. rse den,
doing dat, sure.' The first movement of the ,
distinguished nominee of the Black Republi
can party was to bolt for the back yard and
relieve his stomach ; the next to faint; and
the last, like a sensible politician, to grin
and bear it. He is said to have declined'
electioneering among any more Simon pare
Abolitionists.'
The Rochester Democrat tells the following
story about the singular conduct of an old
hen :—We hear of a most singular freak on
the part of a hen belonging to a farmer in
the town of Victor, Ontario county, which
may interest the curious. Some time Aloe
the hen attempted to set, but her nest was
broken up constantly, and she had a great
deal of trouble. She finally turned her at
tention to a shed, in which a lot ofstraw *u
lying, and in this straw she made a Anal and
desperate effort to establish a nest. It ea
happened that the same pile of straw had al- .
so found favor in the eight of a sow, which
was about to have pigs, and she being the
strongest crowded Biddy out. The ban still
continued to hang about the shed, and_no
sooner were the pip born than she adapted
them, brooding them as well as she was able,
calling to them when food was thrown to her,
and doing in all things as she might be affec
ted to do, were they veritable chickens. She
follows her adopted charge about, clucking to
them, scratching for them and trying to get
them to pick up particles of food, the mamas ,
tlagugh she really believed them to be the
product of three week's setting. On thepart •
of the porkers, a divided feeling seems to •
exist; they adhere to their natural mother,
u other pigs do, and yet appear to hams,
sort of regard for their feathered friend, al
lowing her to -spread herself in the vain at,
tempt to brood them r and yielding to het so-,
licitations to partake of food thrown to loge..
