Wouldn't Get Mad.
Old Harry Brewer, or " Hot Coin Harry,"
MA he was More familiarly known about the
east side of town. was for many years a shin
ing light in one of our African churches ; and
was, by long odds. the most powerful exhort
er of the congregation. Old Harry was, most
undoubtedly, a good christian ; and proved it
by living up to the precepts he taught,. His
extreme good nature was proverbial, and
many a bet was lost and won by the young
men of Grand street and the Bowery, in vain
attempts to make Harry lose his temper. "Go
way, boys, go way!" was his answer, when
they played their wild pranks upon him. "De
good Book says: When any smiles on de one
cheek, you must turn him de oder."
The nearest approach that Harry was ever
known to make towards losing his temper,
WAS about ten years ago. He had a plan
whereby he preserved his corn perfectly fresh
and green till December or January ; and at
that season of the year, he would go out and
make the streets resound with his cry of 'Hot
Corn ! hot corn! pipin—just come out de bil
its' potl" and he realised a handsome profit
from its sale.
During theyear In question, ITirry was un
fortunate, and his corn decayed ; and out of a
large quantity he had put away, he only
saved enough to go out with one or two nights.
In the early part of Deceniber, Harry's
voice' was heard in the Bowery singing his
well known song; and in ono of the bar
rooms a bet was made that Harry could be
throwit off his guard. In a few moments.
Harry entered the bar-room, and set - his
bucket on the floor ; but before he could get
ready for business, ho 11111 s pulled around in
all sorts of ways. One pulled him by the
whiskers, another by the coat tail ; and al
together he was being made anything but
comfortable. Bat all that could be got from
Harry was :
" Go ways, boys, go way!"
All attempts to provoke him farther, fail
ed ; and, as a last resort, one of the young
men took up his pail of corn and said:
" Harry, I've a good notion to throw all
your corn out into the Street !"
'• Hush ! hush !" said Harry, " don't talk
dat Ivey, for you make rue feel bad ! fur if
you fruw my corn in de street now, you must
ruin de old darkev. Ain't bad no wood to
saw hardly this fall. and no white-washing.
My wife been sick dis two months, and my
corn's all rotted ; and I ain't got nuffat' to
'pond on, but de Lord!"
"Well, Harry!" said he who held the
bucket, "you have got a good backer, so hero
goes the corn !" and suiting the action to the
word, he threw the corn into the street.
Harry looked very sadly after his proper
ty ; and, as he picked up his empty bucket,
he said
" De Lord's will be done ?" and then start
ed on a brisk trot from the scene of his temp
tation, as he resolved not to give way to the
wrath he felt rising within him. In Eliza
beth street, a new building was in the course
of erection, and into the cellar of this build
ing Harry descended, while the young men
who had followed him, crept stealthily after,
to see what he would do.
Away back in a far corner Harry went,
out of hearing from the street, and there, Up
on his knees, he gave vent to his feelings in
this wise:
‘e Oh, Lord! I'se most tempted to git mad,
but I won't do it for 4 the sake of a pail oh
corn. Dew was de wickedest boys that I
eber got amongst; but you made 'em, and I
won't oomplain. It's a hard case, and You
know I ain't hab no work moat dis fall, and
Ilannah's sick ; and I only hab a little corn,
and dem wicked boys trirowed it most all
away. But I won't git mad at 'eni ; for you
hab said ',hat justice= yonrn. But give 'ow
justice, and make 'em repent of dere evil
ways. Take 'eta, oh, Lord! and hold 'era
Ober the bottomless pit, and shake 'em ! and
if your a mind to, singe 'ern a were little;
but, oh l good Lord, be very careful, and
don't let 'ens fall in ; and when feels au
hot dey 'gin to repent, dem let 'eni go agin,
and dey'll be betUr men l"
His prayer ended, Harry came forth, look
ing as good natured as ever; and the young
men, who were in waiting for him, took
him, back into the bar-room, and the pro.
coeds of the bet, Ave dollars, was handed
o'er to him, which amply remunerated him
for the loss of his stock in trade.--.N. I.

GETTYSBURG, PA.: MONDAY, JULY 18, 1859.
Sailing in tho Air.
Mr. ITyde, the reporter of the St. Louis
Republican, who was one of the voyagers in
the balloon Atlantio, has written for that
journal a narrative of the voyage. Wo clip
therefrom the following extract:
Every vestige of St. Louis had now vanish
ed from our sight, and we were drifting at a
wonderful rate of spool towards our far-off
destination. Ido not think I ever before ex
perienced such exhilemtion of spirit—such
real joy. Our motion was perfectly steady.
There was no rocking of the boat or car, no
rustling of the silk—nothing, indeed, but the
receding forests and fields beneath, to tell as
we were not poised between earth end sky in
a dead calm. To have been apprehensive of
danger would have been next to impossible
—to have felt tear would have been, not cow
ardice, but pusillanimity. My feeling was
that ballooning, besides being the most pleas
ant and swift, was the safest mode of travel
knnwn.
Steaming down a rapid current in a boat
on a lovely evening. with sublime bluffs, ro
mantic caverns and green foliage on either
side, glistening waves below and a mild sky
above, is grand and delightful: Sailing on
an unruffled lake, parting the placid waters,
and skimming like a gull with gentle fleet
ness, is ineffably glorioos. But these enjoy
abbe methods of travel. 1 felt, yielded in pcint
of dainty plesenreableness to the bird-like
grace and mint-ea/Pre surroundings of aerial
navigation. With ns no breath of breeze
was stirring. Tlfe buovant down of a this
tle. released from the willow car, would have
fallen to the boat by its own specific gravity.
In all this calmness our monster bubble float
ed through the clouds. Twilight was on the
earth, and gave to the color of the soil the ap
pearance of 'frozen lakes. By this time the
sun had set to the inhabitants of the earth,
though to us it was four or five degrees above
the horizon.
A Touching Incident.
Many of our readers have heard Gksian E.
Dodge, of 110.1 tan, sing the historic song—
" Snow Storm." At a late festival in Ohio
he wan present, and was called on to sing.—
By accident he chose this same song, and
before commencing narrated the following
facts as the basis on which the song was
written : In the year IR2I, a Mrs. Blake,
with her husband and child, were crossing the
Green Mountains during a snow storm, and
lost their way. When discovered by some
persons in search of them, Mrs. Blake was
frosen to death, and Mr. Blake almost flacon
scion.. Near the body of Mrs. Blake was a
little hillock of snow, on removing which was
found a bundle, which, when unwrapped,
was found to contain the babe alive and well,
wrapped in the clothing the mother had taken
from her own person. When taken up, the
child looked into the face of its rescuer and
smiled. While Mr. Dodge was singing, a lady
and gentleman in the audience were deeply
affected end wept copiously. The majority
of the audience sympathised with the couple
and wept freely alb°. The gentleman was the
lion. 11. G. Blake, son of her who had perish.
ed in the snow, and brother of the babe, and
the lady was his wife.
Cost of a Newspaper.
We read, a few days since, in one of our
exchanges, the remark that it takes nearly
one dollar and fifty cents to publish a weekly
newspaper. We should think it does. How
any paper of usual size, can be published for
$1 50, without losing money, we have not
yet been able to discover. This secret is yet
seatti book to us. •
Papers are springing np all over the coun
try, and in order to force out a circulation,
offer their issues at subscription prices ruin
ous-to themselves, and injurious to their co-
temporaries. Thug the business of Journal
ism, in localities where a r.ewspaper can be
supported, under ordinary circumstances, is
crippled, and to a very great extent rendered
unprofitable. Some men think it is glory and
honor enough to bare the name of being the
editor of a paper. Such usually find out, by
waiting, that such honors are empty, and de
void of the capacity to furnish meat and
bread fur the wife and children. The result
is, that very often the enterprise proves a
failure, creditors suffer, and the unfortunate
adventurer becomes, pecuniarily. a wreck.
It takes money to carry on a newspaper, and
it takes patronage to bring in money, and
that vatnnage must pay remunerative prices.
Where this is not the case, failures will al
ways be the consequence. So much for pub
lishing a newspaper at losing rates.—News
Letter.
A Useful Hint.
If a man faints away, instead of Telling
out like a enrage, or running to lift him up,
lay him at full length un his back on the floor,
loosen the clothing,
.pnqh the crowd away so
as to allow tho air to reach him, and let 'him
alone. Dashing water over a person in a
simple fainting lit is barbarity. rho philoso
phy of a fainting fit ii, the heart fails to send
the proper supply of blood to the brain ; if
the person is erect, that blood has to be thrown
up bill ; but if lying down, it has to be pro
jected horizontally, which requires less power,
as is apparent.
The Great Bat/le.—lt is w.rthy of note
that, in tho recent great battle of Magenta,
over which the civilized world is now agog,
the loss in killed and wounded, in proportion
to the numbers engaged, was not more than
one-third as great as in the battle of Bunker
Ilill, Buena Vista, and two or three of the
hardest fought battles of our last war (of 1812)
with Great Britain. In that particular it al
so comes after the ten leading battles of Na
puleun I. These facts are worthy of note,
because they indicate that, after all, modurn
improvements in military dostructives have
not surpassed modern improvements in the
art of guarding armies against the use of im
plements of carnage.
The Renal of Being a Good Boy.—Some
two years ago, a little boy of Newburyport,
Meal., who had no parents, and who was
frequently found by the policeman sleeping
in out-honses, was complained of and sent by
the Police Court to the State Reform School
at Westborough. Daring hie confinement,
by hie good behavior he won the love and
esteem of all the officers and the keepers of
the institution: Lately., a wealthy couple of
aged persons, on ',visit to tha school, favor
ably struck by the boy's appearance, adopted
him, gaye him their name, and also announc
ed. their intention of making him heir to an
estate if Some sixty thousand dollars.

"TRUTH IS MIOHTT, AND WILL PRZVATL."
One of the Judges
While one David Scott presided in the Ju
dicial District now composing the counties of
Wayne, Pike. Monroe and Carbon, in Penn
sylvania, Judge D— aas an associate upon
the Bench. These counties border upon the
Delaware ricer, which is the boundary line
between New Jersey and Pennsylvania.—
Judge D— though a man of unblemished
integrity and high character, bad some ec
centricities, and among them a peculiar aver
sion to "niggers." To use his own words,
"He knew all about a nigger; was raised
among niggers ; and a nigger would be a
nigger any way you could fix it." One day a
black man was duly convicted of larceny,
and; called up for his sentence. The Judge
was performing his arduous duties as an asso
ciate in an arm-chair, bare footed, coat off,
and asleep. The presiding Judge. as is usu
al in such cases, saw proper to call upon the
associate in fixing the penalty to be imposed
upon the guilty man,and giving Judge
a nudge in the ribs called his attention to the
prisoner at the bar.
" Hold on, Mr. Scott !" said the Judge,
" I'll sentence that fellow. Nigger,stand up l
You've been found guilty of stealing and
ought to be hung; but this being your first
offence, the Court is disposed to let you dff
easily. The sentence of the Court is that you
be banished to the State of New Jersey, and
may the Lord have mercy on your soul I--
The Court gives you five minutes to get to the
river, and if ever you are c aught upon this
side of the :Delaware again you- shall be
hanged Constable, give the prisoner a hun
dred yards the start, and see that the sentence
of the Court is executed !"
The fellow struck a bee line for Jersey, and
has never been heard of since. And this
,is
true.
A Yankee Trick.
We remember when we were living down
east, of a neighboring farmer hiring a jolly
Irishman, who was very fund of learning
tricks. Ono day his employer asked him if
he wouldn't like to " learn a Yankee trick."
Bringing him to the end of a briA barn,
Jonathan laid his open hand against the wall
remarking—
" Pat, bet the liquor you can't bit my
hand."
‘4 It's done !" says Pat, making a vicious
blow at the palm of the hind. but it being
quickly withdrawn he succeeded in peeling
the skin and flesh frcm cff big knuckles.
" That's a d--d nasty trick 1" roared Pat,
"but howid on, I'll cheat somebody else."
A few months pulsed, and Pat's brother
came over from Ireland u green as early peas.
They both labored together, but Pat was
uneasy till he would have learned his brother
the Yankee trick.
" Jim, did you ever learn a Yankee trick?"
" Niver.:'
Put finding himself in the centre of a large
field, thought it would ben great lose of tune
to go to the bum, and reaching out his pram
hand he cried—
" Strike that, if you can !"
Jim made a desperate pass. bat Pat having
pulled away his hand, Jim fell after the blew,
remarking, that "that was an old woman's
trick."
"Try it nowl" shrieked Pat, with laugh
ter, placing tho same open hand against his
own mouth.
Jim prepared for a sockdologer, and brin
ging his massive " bunch of fives" in loving
proximity with Pat's nose and mouth, who
pulled away his hand as before, he sent him
reeling to the earth,with the loss of four teeth
and a large quantity of blood, for "learning
him the Yankee trick."
A Temperance Story.
Deacon Johnson is a great temperance man,
and sets a good example of total abstinence as
far as he is seen. Not long ago ho employed
a carpenter to make some alterations in the
parlor, and in repairing the corner near the
fire place, it was found necessary to remove
the wainscoting, when lo! a discovery was
made that astonished everybody. A bract of
decanters, a tumbler, and a pitcher, were
cosily reposing there, as if they had stood
there from the beginning. The deacon was
summoned, and as he held the blushing bot
tles, he exclaimed, " We'll, i declare, that is
curious, sure enough. It must be that.eld
Bains left them when he went nut of this
'ere house thirty years ago." " Perhnps ,he
did," returned the carpenter, " but, deacon,
the ice in the pitcher must have been &ix
mighty hard to stay till this time."
. OM. 4.- - -•-- - - ----
, A CoiLscientions Widow.
A roes peasant on his death-bed made his
will. He called his wife to him and told ber
of its provisions. " I have left," he said,
" my horse to my parents; sell it, and hand
over to them the money you receive. 1 leave
you my doe ; take care of him, and lie will
serve you faithfully." The wife promised to
obey, and in due time set out for the market,
with the horse and the dog. "flow much
do you want for your horse ?" inquired a far
mer. " I cannot sell the horse alone, but you
may have both at a reasonable rate. Give
me ten pounds for the dog, and five shillings
for the horse." The farmer laughed, but as
the terms were low, he willingly accepted
them. Then the worthy woman gave to her
husband's parents, the live shillings received
for the horse, and kept the ten pounds herself.
What a blessing, to a tradesmen is a
liberal customer! A farmer went into a store
in Boston the other day, and told the keeper
that a neighbor of his entrusted him with
some money to expend to the best advantage,
and he meant to do it where he was beat
treated. Ile had been used very ill by the
traders in Boston, and be would not partwith
his neighbor's money until be found a man
who would treat him about right. With the
utmost suavity, the trader says :
" I think Y can treat you to your liking ;
how do you want to be treated ?"
Well," said the farmer, with a leer in his
eye, " in the first place, I want a glass of
toddy,' which was forthcoming,
"Now, I will have a nice cigar," says the
farmer. fle
It was promptly handed him, leisurely

Death From the Bite of a Rattlesnake.
James Wright, an old citizen of Cincinnati,
while in the woods near Vanceburg, Ind., on
the 4th instant, getting out timber, was bit
on the hand by a rattlesnake. The Gazette
Says
Alarmed at the probable consequences, he
immediately started for the town, and ran
the entire distance. The heat, fatigue and
excitement of course allowed the poison to
circulate through his system and make sure
of its deadly work. By the time be reached
Vanceburg, he was entirely blind, and his
body and head were covered with spots of the
same color of those of the rattlesnake. The
usual remedies were immediately resorted to
and every eXort made by the attendant phy
sicians to neutralize the poison, but without
effect. He continued to sink rapidly and ex
pired between three and four o'clock next
morning.
In preparing the body to be laid out, a sin
gular phenomenon presented itself. In addi
tion to the spots referred to, there was a pic
ture of the snake itself—perfect in shape and
color, and as distinct as if daguerreotyped
there—extending from the point on his hand
where the fangs bad struck, up the arm to
the shoulder, and then down the side to the
groin. To the truth of this, our informant
assures us not only himself, but some four
or five other citizens, who saw it, can posi
tively testify.
Immediately upon learning the occurrence,
a number of persons started to the place
where it had happened, and, upon examina
tion, found the snake in the identical spot
designated, when they came near having
another tragedy, a young lady of the party
having stepped our his lurking place, from
which a moment alter he made a savage leap
at the party, but was immediately dispatched.

TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR
Franklin's Son.
Speaking of the son of Dr. Franklin, the'
Newburvport Herald says :
"As the name of Franklin is prominently
before the public, it may not be uninteresting
to give some account of his only son, William,
about whom we think little is known by the
community at large. Unlike his father, whose
chief claim is for the invaluable service he
rendered his country in her greatest need, the
son was, from the first to the least, a devoted
loyalist. Before the Revolutionary war he
held several civil and military offices of im
portance. At the commencement of the war,
he held the office of Governor of New Jersey,
which appointment he received in 1775.
When the difficulty between the mother
country and the colonies was coming to al
crisis, he threw his whole influence in favof
of loyalty, and endeavored to prevent the Leg
islative Assembly of NeW Jersey from sustain
ing the proceedings of the Benet-al Congress
of Philadelphia. These efforts, however, did
but little to stay the tide of popular sentiment
in favor of resistance to tyranny, and soon
involved him in difficulty. He was deposed
from office by the whigs, to give place to Wil
liam Livingston, and sent a prisoner to Con
necticut, where be remained two years in
East Windsor, in the house of Captain
Ebenezer Grant, where the Theological Semi
nary now stands. In 1778 he was exchanged,
and soon after went to England. There he
spent the remainder of his life, receiving a
pension from the British government for his
fidelity. He died in 1813, at the age of 82.
As might have been expected, his opposi
tion to the cause of liberty, so dear to the
heart of his father, produced an estrangement
between them. For years they had no inter
oourse--when in 1791, the son wrote the
father. In his reply Dr. Franklin says:—
'
Nothing has ever hurt me so much, and
affected me with such deep sensation, as to
find myself deserted, in my old age, by my
only son ; and not only deserted, but to find
him taking up arms against me in a cause
wherein my good fame, fortune and life were
all at stake. "
In his will, also, be alludes to the part his
son had acted. After making some bequests,
be adds: " The , part he acted against me in
the late war, which is of public notoriety, will
account for my leaving him no more of an es
tate he endeavored to deprive me of."
The patriotism of the father stands forth all
the brighter when contrasted with the defer
tion of Me son.
