'The glories of oar blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things ;
'lThere is no armor against fate—
Death lays his hands on kings;
Sceptre_ and crown,
Must tumble down,
' And id the dust be equal' made
With the Wmcor crooked scythe aad spade.
Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill;
But their strong nerves at last must yield,
They tame but one another; still,
Early or late,
They stoop to fate,
And meat give up their murmuring breath,
When they, pale captives; creep to Death.
The garlands wither on your brow,
Then boast no more your mighty deeds;
Upon Death's purple altar now.
See a here the ‘ictor victim bleeds !
Your heads must somo
To the cold tomb ;
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in their dust.

Buckland, the distinguished geologist, one
day gave a dinnet after disseuting a ?tliuie
sippi alligator, having 'skid a good by many of
the most distinguished classes to dine with
him. his house and all his establishment
were in good style and taste. His guests eon
gre,;ated. The dinner table looked splendid,
with glass. china and plate, and the meal
commeneNl with exce:lent soup. "II iw do you
like the soup ?" asked the doctor, after having
(inhaled his own plate, addressing a famous
gourmand of the day.—'•Very gLod, indeed !"
answered the other. " Turtle, is it not t I
only ask because I do nut fled any green fat."
The doctor shook his head. " I think it has
something of a musky taste," said another—
" not unplenannt but peculiar !" " All alliga
tors hate," replied Baekland, " the cayman
peculiary so—the fellow whom I dissected
this morning, and whom you have just been
eating!" There was a general rout of all the
guests. Every one turned pale. Two or
three ran out of the room; and only those who
had stout stpmaches remained, to the close of
an excellent •ntertainesont. See what im
agination is." said Buckland ; 4 ' if I had told
them it was turtle, or terrapin:or bird's 'nest
soup, salt water amphibia ur fresh, or the
gluten of a fish from the maw of a sea bird,
they would have pronounced it excellent, and
their digestion been none the worse—sues is

Birch overheard one of the cabin buys indulg

crew. Lie Litraed a severe countenance upon
him and said :
" Young man, hereafter when you have
anything to say about any , one on the boat,
please except the captain:"
A few days after the captain happened to
be on deck ; the same cabin boy carried past
him a dish prtpare4.l for the table, when a hog
rionniag between his extremities, completely
upset Inta. effectually disbursing the prepar

Boys.—The boy, said a philosopher, is the
least understood of anything in the animal
kingdom. Not long ago the mother el a juve
mile acquaintance of our", had occasion to
empty the pockets of the ybungster, while he
was asleep. The following is an invoice of
the contents: A broken jack knife, three
nails, two pieces of brick, an orange peel, one
spool, one marked postage stamp, several mar
bles, three or four buttons, ditto fishing hooks,
an old steel pen, a piece of China ware, and
two cigar stomas. With such a fortune the

A Threatened Difficulty.
There is a prospect of another misander
o tandi g between the United States and
English governments. By the last intelli
gence from the Pacific we lam that the Uni
ted States government had taken possession of
the island of San Juan, off the entrance of
Fraser river, on the Pacifie.—A fair idea of
the nature of the coutrovervy which has led to
this, step on the part of our government, is
conieyed by the annexed explanation. The
matter calls fox immediate adjustment :
The treaty of 1846 provides that the line
separating the British and American terri
tories should commence at the summit of the
Rocky Mountains, in latitude 45 degrees, to
which point it had been previously brought
from the east, thence run westward with the
49th parallel to the middle of the Gulf of
Georgia, thence southward with the main
channel to the Straits of Fuca, and through
the middle of those straits to the ocean. Now,
it so happens that between the point where
the line leaves the 40th parallel and the point
where it enters the Straits of Fuca there is the
Archipelago do Hero, through which several
large channels run ; the two main ones being
the Rosario Strait and the Canal de Hero.—
The former is the one used by vessels going
from the ocean to Fraser river, but the latter
is the widest, though obstructed by some
small islets.
Both are wide channels, deep enough for .
the largest ships. Between them lie a dozen
islands, the chief of which are San Juan,
Lopes and Oscan Islands, and altogether they
may include 200 kquare miles of land, or
128,000 acres. San Juan Island is the most
valuable, and has about 70,000 acres ; much
of it is good soil, covered with fine grass.—
The British witless that the Rosario Strait is
the " main channel" meant by the treaty,
and the Americans say the Canal de Hero is
meant; and the settlement or that dispute
will determine who is to be the owner of the
islands. Some British subjects already oe
cupy San Juan Island as a sheep pasture.
The Next Census
Next year the eighth census of the United
States is to be taken. This enumeration is
one of the most laborious and difficult tasks
which the Government has to perform. A
timely suggestion is made by the National
liitelligeneer which is worthy of considera
tion, and which we quote in the hope that it
may he heeded - before the censui takers shell
:recalled upon to discharge their duties. The
suggeeition is this:
"That each farmer this fall, as he gathers
his crops. shall keep something like an accur
ate account of the quality and value of the
same: and it he will take the trouble, to make
out a statement of the names and ages of his
family ; the nutulier of acres of /and cleared
and timbered ; the number and ages of his
servants ; tho number of Lau horses and
mules; the number of bake of cotton, barrels
°fawn, buidicla of wheat, oats, rye, corn, bar
ley, potatoes, Ice., and the value of each ; and
leave it some Tam* N here any snem‘,,er of the
family, wliu may be at home when the deputy
shall ca/l, tan readily get bold of it.
It will a ire time to all eoncerued and eery
greatly assist to make the census returns per-
Sect, complete, and satisfactory."

TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR
"Anaiher Cat Oat of the Bag t"
The Opposition leaders and presses in
this State, not excluding the &ar and Sen
tinel, were quite earnest, a month or two ago,
in their efforts to impose upon our foreign
born citizens the belief that they had (sudden
ly !) become their real friends! We pronouns"-
ed this all humbug at the time—done only to
get votes from foreigners.—and now our po
sition is confirmed by snob evidence as the
following:—At the recent Opposition Con
vention of Chester county, the annexed reeo
lotion was introduced:
Remised, That the imposition of all din
abilities upon the adopted citizen, other than
those imposed by the Constitution of the
United States, or on the native born citizen,
is impolitic, improper and unjust.
Here was a capital chance fur these liberal
minded Know Nothings to express their sym
pathy with some show of alitAority, but what
did they do ? A warm discussion ensued
among the leaders, and the resolution was
deliberately voted down, but two votes being
cast in its favor! This is a very significant
item, and which should be thrown into the
teeth of all Know Nothing and Black Ttepub
lion candidates when they approach natural
ized citizens for their votes.

The Aurora Borealis Broblem Solved.
On Sunday night and Monday morning
there was an unusually brilliant exhibition of
the Aurora Borealis, which covered one half
of the Northern heavens from East to West.
Thie g mysberious light has ever puzzled natur
al philosophers, win - have advanced the most
contradictory explanations for the phenome_
na. Some have ascribed them to the refrac
tion of the sea's rays from Artie icebergs ;
others have believed that the refraction is
from Northern ice or snow, and the tremulous
motion to be caused by the perpetual vibra
tions of the earth's atmosphere ; but the mag
netic telegraph has Solved the problem. On
Sunday evening. when the sky was perfectly
clear, the stars shining and the wind still,
the only unusual appearance being the red

informs us that the line between Quebec and
Father Point was in perfect working order.
Yet it was proved impossible to dispatch the
foreign news across the wires. The Aurora
Borealis had so charged the air with electric
ity as to partially destroy the insulation.—
The phenomena of the Northern Lights may
therefore be ascribed to electricity, and a
long disputed question of science is definitely

Here we have the direct assertion that "the

adheres to the National Administration in Ow

a slave °ode by Congress. Now smug all the
Democratio newspapers in this State, there is
not a single one which has In the slightest de
gree countenanced the idea - ore slave code foe
the Territories. Nor do lie believe there is
a single solitary man in Pennsylvania, and
very few out of it, who are advocates of a
" slave code f oe the Territories." Nor is
there a single of any party in Pennsyl
vania, and not one hundred out of it, who
advocate the re-opening of the African Slave
Trade. The Administratkin at Washington
are at present using evdi-y effort to suppress
this trade and to bring to punishment the

It will be observed by the published pro.
ceedings, in our paper of to-day, that J. W.
Douglas, Esq., of this place, received the
nomination as the Democratic candidate fur
State Senator in the 18th District, composed
I of the counties of Adams, Fulton and Frank
' HnThe nomination of Mr. Douglas was dic
tatedby the wisest and soundest policy. Lis
selection was due mainly to his locality.—
Adams and Fulton both presented excellent
men fur the nomination, but the Conferees in
fluenced by a desire to place our candidate on
an equality with that of the opposition, as re
gards location, were necessitated to unite on
a Franklin County man. The choice cense
qtently fell on Mr. Douglas, his nomination
having been unanimously recommended by
our late County Convention. We have the
best assurance that the nomination of Mr.
Douglas will be entirely acceptable to the
Demooracy of Fulton and Adatus, and receiv
ed with the utmost unanimity throughout
the district. We honestly believe that the
whole strength of the Democratic party of the
district will be•ooncentrated upon him, and
that he will receive a handsome vote from tho
ranks of the opposition.
In pacoail qualities we caneprik for Mr.
Douglas as being a most estimable and wor
thy mat:, and if merit—mural, social : and
political—can entitle a man to the good
opinions of his fellows then is he worthy of
their highest esteem. That he is a man or:
intelligence, and sterling honesty of charac
ter, possessing all the requisites to make a
safe and sagamout Legislator nu one, where
he is known, still attempt to deny. As a
Democrat he stands above reproach. No
man has more firmly advocated and stood by
the great and glorious_principleas of his party
than Mr. Douglas. lo has always been a
willing worker in the Democratic cause, and
its men and its measures have ever found its
him an efficient and devoted friend. Wir
much mistake the signs of the times if his
nomination does not create a degree of enthu
siasm in the party rarely equalled, and which,
will leave no room to doubt his , triumphant
election in October.—Chambersbury Spirit.
