Declaration of Independence.
Tox...ir 4, 11.'7'70.
When, in the course of human events,
it becomes necessary fur ono peopk) to
di.l.solve the political hands which have
connected them with. another, and to
assume, among the powers of the earth,
the separate and equal stations to which
the laws of nature and of nature's God
entitle them, a decent respect to the
opinions of mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel
thehi to the separation.
We bold these truths to be selfevi
dent, that all men aro created equal ;
that they aro endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable rights; that
among these, aro life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. That, to secure
these rights, governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed ; that,
whenever any form of I , ,overnment be
comes destructive of these ends, it is
the right of the people to after or IA
abolish it, and to institute a new gov
ernment, laying its foundation on such
principles, and organizing its powers
in such form, an to them shall seem most
likely to effect their safely and happi
ness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate
that governments long established,
should not, be changed for light and
transient causes; and, accordingly, all
experience lath shown, that mankind
arc more disposed to suffer, while evils
are sufferable, than to right themselves
by abolishing the forms to which they
aro accustomed. But, when a long
train of abuses and usurpations, pursu
ing invariably the same object., evinces
a design to reduce them under absolute
despotism, it is their right, it is their
duty, to throw otr such government,
and to provide new guards for their fu
ture security. Such has been the pa
tient sufferance of these colonies, and
such is now the npeei.sity which con
strains thorn to alter their former sys
tems of government. Tho history of
the present king of Great Britain is
history of repeated injuries and usurpa
tions, all having, in direct object, the
establishment of an absolute tyranny
over these States. To 'prove this, lot,
face be submitted to a candid world :
He has refused his assent to laws the
most, wholesome and necessary'for the
public good.
Ho has forbidden his Governors to
pass laws of immediate and pressing im
portance, unless suspended in their
°potation till his assent ehould ho ob
tained ; sad, when so suspended, be has
utterly neglooted to attend to them.
He has refused totess other taws for

linquish the right of representation lu

Smoking a Canso of Insanity.
The terrible ravages which tobacco smoking
is making on the minds and bodies of the
young, seems to be attracting the attention
of medical men in various parts of the world.
In a pamphlet just issued by Dr. Seymour, of
Lindon, on private Lunatic Asylums, and the
cause of insanity of late years, tho Dr. de
nounces with emphasis as one of the prod's
cing causes, the practice of immoderate smok
ing, indulged in by boys awl young men of
the universities and "largo schools, now cal
led colleges."
The Doctor's remarks are as applicable to
the youths ., of this country as those ofEitircpa.
No elle eeeversant • with disease can doubt
that excessive smoking, especially in the cause
of young people, mast be highly injurious to
both mind and body. Its eifeo is to depress
Ile circulation—the heart becomes weak,
irregular in its action, and the pulse is rower
lylo be felt. Tito victim becomes irresolute
and nervous, hie appetite fails, and his mind
fills with imaginary evils. This may coatis.
ue for years, but at length the smoker dies oT
suddenly ; then examination has shown that
the muscular structure of the heart is imper
fect in its action ; the left side ki thin, and in
some MOS, in which sudden detail, has occur
red, thero bas been found little more than a
strip of muscular fibre left it °a that side.—
The question of restraining boys from smoking
is rather a difficult one to deal with, but the ,
grave interests at stake seen: to demand that!
some action should be taken in the premises.
Plant Them. j
The villages of New 'England are among, the ;
pleasantest in the world, and Lille chief f, ec re ';
of their charms is summed up in one word::
Trees. The people yrlin laid them out a cells
tury or two ago, had the good donee to plant
a few score of young trees about the green ‘,
along the streets, and envulup the place in
shade. The mectuest cottage is pleasant and
picturesque if it stands beneath a lino old •
tree. The poorest village is good to live in if
it nestles under giant trees. Plant trees.—
Plant them round the school hptise. l'hint
them round the church. Plant them on the
common. Plant them along the street. Make
all the villages and towns plea antwith trees.
Tomatoos
As the season is now npproaching when
the a delicious articles will make their ap
pearance in onr markets, we insert the follow
ing method of preparing, them for the table,
which we are assured by one alto has made
the experiment, is superior to anything yet
discovered for the preparation of this excel
lent vegetable
Take good ripe tomatoes, cut them in slices,
and sprinkle over them finely pulverized
white sugar, then add claret wino sufficient
to cover them. Tomatoes are sometimes pre
pared in this way with diluto4 Vinegar, but
claret wine imparts to them a richer and
more pleasant flavor, more nearly resembling
the strawberry than anything else.
Tomato Honey.
To each pound of tomatoes allow the grated
peel of one lemon, and six fresh peach loaves,
boil them slowly 'till they fall to pieces ; tboo
squoese them through a bag ; to each pint of
liquid allow a pound of sugar, and the juice
of one lemon : boil all together half an hour
until it becomes a thick jelly ; then put it in
to glasses, and lay double tissue paper over
the tops. This preps tion can scarcely be
distinguished from reoney.

Tlie Indian Heaven and fell
deceased Indian !nu, according to
them, a long journey to take inwatd the west,
Clutil he comes to a deep rusiiiitg river, which
separates him from the happy hunting
grounds. Tho two shores of this river aro
connected by a long pine trunk, stripped of
hark and poli,dietl, which must be used as a
bridge. The good man passes with a srm
and secure ctep across this slippery bridge,
reaches the happy hunting grounds, and en
ters on the posscision of eternal youth and
strength. His sky is always clear, a owl
breeze is perpetually blowing_ for him, and
he ranee his time in sailing, hunting, danc
ing, and boundless felicity. The had man,
when he Mops upon the bridge, sees the two
overhanging shores totter, he attempts to es
eine, and fhlls into the abyss below, where
the water is rushing with the sound of thun
der over rocks; where the sir is poitoned, by
the exhaLitions from dead fish and other ani
mal bodies, and the water whirling round and
round, brings him always back to the same
point; where all the trees are withered ;
whore it swarms with lizards, snakes and
toads ; here the dead are hungry and bare
nothing to eat ; where the living lead' a did
eased life and cannot die. The shores are
covered with thousands of those unhappy be
ings, who climb np o get a glance into the
happy hunting grounds, which they •can
never enter.
Standing by his Pilends.
Ia the flush times of Vicksburg, when the
phrase "hard cases" meant something more
than it does now, Harvey Jenkins was admit
ted one of the hardest. By some strange ac
cident Harvey found himself at church one
evening. The sermon being over. the preach.
cr requested all who were friendly to religion
to rise and hold up their right hands. The
whole audience apparently .were on their
feet. After they were seated again the wiuia•
ter continued :
"Now it there is a single one hero who
desires to see Satan and his kingdomprosper,
he will rise,and bold ap his band."
Harvey, with some diteulty got to an erect
position, and said :
" 'lad the vote been lea unanimous, I
should hare retained my ma; Lut I make it
a poita of honor never to abandon a friend
under adverse circumstances."

A " flruliar I'laror."—A good story is
told concerning a ke,..; which bad lain so long
in the railroad station house at Indianapolis,
that the oldest inhabitant knew not its his
tory. A hole was bored in tlio vessel, and
the contents pronounced old Fronch brandy,
with a rich and peculiar flavor. After all the
judges of good• liquor in the neighborhood,
including the editors, had tried samples, un
til the old keg fairly caved in, it was found to
contain two deformed babies, united like the
Siamese twins.

Remarkable Race by Railroad—Sta.kca
8175,000.
Ono day last week, as the eastward bound
express train reached Laporte, Ind., a passen
ger stepped off while the engine was being
replenished with wood and water, and walked
back and forth on the platform, and contin
ued to walk until the whistle sounded. The
other passengers got on board and the train
passed off, but the gentlemen still walked on.
A few minutes after the train had gone, a
station man saw the pedestrian, and, going
up to him, asked in a surprised tone—
"What the—are you doing here?"
The man started, opened his eyes, and look
ed around bewildered. Tho fact was, ho had
been fatigued. and dropped asleep while
.walking. Rousing himself, he asked:
" Why! where am 1 ?"
" Where are you? At Laporte."
" Where's the train I came in?
" That loft ten minutes ago."
"Ten minutes ago and loft alio ! I moat
go on that train. It is a quevtiois of life and
death to me. Can you get mo to it? Ilave
you got an engine hero ? Where is the Su
perintendent?"
The section master had an affiee near by,
and the two wont to find that official and
procure an engine. The traveler elided his
case—he must go en—could not delay—and
offered the offieer $250 if he would put him on
board the train. This strange demand and
strange offer caused the station master to has
ten and do whatle could. The fire was not
out of the engine that bad drawn the train to
that point—the bargain was settled—a draft
given on New York for $250, and in ten min
utes the traveler started with an engine to
overtake the flying express.
After rushing on fur thirty or forty miles,
some connection gave way about the enminc.
The engine was stopped—the engineer found
the difficulty, and in a few minutes had a
wooden pin whitled oat and fitted to supply
the deficiency. IVith this on they flew. The
train had. of course, many miles the start
of them and despite the wooden pin, the en
gineer crowded on steam, and tore thro' the
country at a fearful rate. Thirty miles of
the distance passed was run in twenty-seven
minutes, but the engagement was that they
should overtake the train, and overtake it
they did. but not until more than one hundred
miles had been run, and they were approach
ing Toledo.
Having at length overtaken and stopped
the train avid hernial ton board; the traveler
went eagerly to a berth in the sleeping ear,
and took therefrom a carpet bag containing
$175,000. His treasnre was spIC non o had
molested it, and dismissing his faithful cou
rier, ho went on his way rejoicing at the sue•
coos of kis perilous and exciting adventure.—

Greeley on a Railroad.
Tim Buffalo Courier, in an article alluding
to Greeley on a Rail, requests its tenders to
imagine the plillosopVer in a night car, oc
cupying a section in company with a nervous
invalid—timid old gentleman who dreads the
wind of heaven as much as a sensitive plant.
The "night is chill and damp," for the rain k
pouring. "Conductor," exclaims Mr. Crec.

The conductor promptly obeys. The current
of water-laden air rushes in, penetrating to
the very marrow of the sick man. Ile hears

The Reading Gazelle says that some
time ago ono of its subscribers discontinudd
beeauso he was taking too many papers. Ito
said ho took two from Philadelphia, and 014)
from New York, besides the New Yurk Ledger,
which made four, and that was too mally fOr
a poor man. Be thought ho would try to do,
without the Gazette, as it was publisheilizt
home, and he didn't need it as much as those
that conts.:ned the news from abroad. The
Editor said nothing, but when his time e
pireil, stopped the paper as directed. Laid
week, however, the "discontinues;" sub
scriber came and ordered the paper again,—
Ho did nut know before, ho said, how inter
eating - the local news was. Since ho htid
supped it, he WWI entirely ignorant of all that
was going on in the city and county, and he
missed it more than he would hate missed alt
his other papers put together. Ile was piths

This was a very sensible conclusion, , IThe
home news that the county papers eolleeLS
and publish, is of far more interest and ha
portanee to the citizens of the county, than
all the contente of the New York or Phila•
delpflia papers; and ;t is a queer illustratiovi
of the pr, , pen , ity people have of under-v:o44e .

papers ULlblillied in their own inneedinta
eighborhood, while they will take three or
four from the di.. tint cities. If theferadi r t
may be prevailed upon atike a county pa
per for a year or two, they would, like the
subscriber whose case we have mentioned,
discover that they couldn't do without it. -
