Bradford Courtly. —Ws ors glad to obserre
that a wholesome reaction is taking place in
the ponAktai. seatiuteol of this oae strong
Black Republican district. The people, it
appears, are repudiating Wilmot, and his
pernicious teachings. In 1858, Bradford
county gave 4855 majority for Fremont over
Buchanan ; but in 1859, the Opposition can
muster only 2104 majority on their State tick
et., and Thomas Snead, one of their antli
dates for the Legislature, is only elected by
1103 over Qeorge Stevens, Democrat. This
is truly an encouraging sign.
aiiTllenry Ward Beecher preached upon
the Harper's Ferry insurrection last Sunday.
Ile said—'. While he depicted the misfortune,
sad sympathised with the old man, who had
come out and openly avowed his principles,
he could net but condemn his madness."—
Mr. Beecher thought Brown was sane enough
in Kansas, and Lad a favora4le opinion of
Sharpe's rifles then, but deems it judicious just
now to mildly denounce "emancipation with
the sword."
Wet a Negro Laurreclion.—We see that
sellers! Abolition papers speak of the Har
per's Ferry affair as a negro insurrection.—
This is an error. There were no negroes in
it, with the exception of those pressed into it
by Capt. Brown and his crew. It was, to all
intents and purpose., a white Abolition muss•
went—acknowlcdged by men through all the
Northern ,States.
BIWA movement is on foot in New York
sky with the view of saving the neck of "Old
Brown," hat how it is to be don* is not stat
ed. An anonymous advertisement appears in
the morning papers calling capon all Virght
iiins there who ore opposed to his ezeenti iiii
to send ;brit names to the Timm otos. Tlo
movement, however, is not likely to amount
to much.
The Rolftory Republican.—ln Fresno ennn

Fressnut. in '57 one for Stanley, and in '59

Theca's the kind of counties we like—
Dumocratic all over. There's Johnson co.,
in Illinois, that had only one Black Republi
can voter, in 187)6, and he hadn't the pluck
to stick ; in there's none left fur seed. Com

IT JOGS G. 14.1$
Some years ago, when I was young,
And Mrs. Jones was Miss Delaney ;
When weillozk's canopy was hung
With curtains from the loom of fancy;
I used to paint my future life
With most poetical precision--
My special wonder of a wife ;
My happy days ; my nights Elysian.
I saw it lady, rather small,
(A JCNO was my strict abhorrence,)
With flaxen hair eontrived to fall
In careless ringlets, a la Lawrence;
A blond complexion; eyes that drew
From autumn clouds their azure brightness ;
The foot of Venus ; arm t whose hue
WAD perfect in its milky whiteness !
I saw a party, quite select—
There might have been a baker's dozen ;
A parson of the ruling sect ;
A bride's maid, and a city cousin ;
A formal speech to me and mine,
(Its meaning I could scarce discover;
A taste of cake ; a sip or w ine
Some kissing—and the scene was over.
I saw a bahy—one—nn more;
A cherub pictured, rather faintly,
Beside a pallid dame who wore
A countenance extremely saintly.
I saw—hut nothing could I hear,
except the softest prattle, way be— .
The merest breath apoe the ear—
So quiet was that blessed baby
REAL.
I see a woman. rattier tall,
And yet. I own, a comely lady
Contplezion--ereb as I mast call
(To be
not
a little shady ;
A band not handsome, yet confessed
A generous one for love or pity ;
4 nimble foot, and—neatly dressed
le No. 6's—extremely pretty.
I see &group of boys slid girls
Aaseintiled round the knee paternal;
With ruddy checks and tangled curls,
And manners not at all supernal.
And one be reached a manly size ;
Anil one aspires to eroman's stature;
Ault one is quite a recent prise,
4,41 d all abound in human
The boys are hard to keep In trim;
The girls eroVioften very trying;
The b thy—like the cherubim.—
Seems very fond of steady crying I
And yet the precious littlirone,
His saadser's /Isar. despotic. otostar,
Is worth a thonsaad babies, dolts
In FarblA or alabaster I
Aod oft that stater dime and 1,
.
When laughing o'er our earls- dressing,
And ma rklfig, as the years go by,
How bile was our youthful ' , cheating,
Confess the wiser power that knew
How care each earthly joy enhances,
And gave ua bTessings rich and true,
And better far than all our fancies !

The Cost of a Big Ship.
The New York Posi onyx : Mr. Busk sup-
Oka es with some curious facts about all
nem of things connected with English and
French naval affairs. For instance, we read
that the cost of heilding the Duke if Wilming
ton, a large 4.000 ton screw line-of-bottle
ship, and vessels of her class, is SBsA,ti7s ;
and that her annual repairs require $71,025 ;
that the liner klarlbetrough eontsins as much
timber no secent3•six acres of oak forest would
prodoee in one hundred rear•, and that the
whole British navy cons:4s of more o a k titan
14,000 acres of forest would grow in the came
time; that the forenia+c of the great k'rilmclt
Fontennv wax nrnde nit of a single tree:
that since 1852. England 1.2.14 added 15.000
horse power to her nays: f-r cec.,la below
the rank of frigate+, more than France, and
that France h..s, during the Fame period, ad
ded 1,A.000 to the horse-paw er of engines f•dr
line-il-battle ships and frigates more than
England, which shows that Napoleon's faith

-On the 18th of September last, a child

A Touching Anecdote.
/lon. A. H. Stephens, of Gctbrgia, in a re
alist address at a meeting in Alszan4ge, for
th e bo be ig o f t he orphan asylum an dfree
schools of that city, related the following
anecdote:
"A poet little boy, in zooid night in June,
with no borne or roof to shelter his head, no
paternal or maternal ettardian or guide to
protect him on hie way, ristwheti atrightfall
the honge of a rieh planter, who took him in,
fed, lodged. an t him on his way with his
bleesing. TheiMind attentions cheered hi,
heart, and inspired him with fresh courage
to battle with the obstacles of life. Years
rolled round; Providence led him on; belied
reached the legal profession ; his host had
died ; the cormorants that prey on the sub
stance of man had firmed a conspiracy to get
from the widow her estates She seat fur the
nearest counsel to commit her cause to him,
and that counsel proved to La the orphan
boy years before welcomed and entertained
by her deceased husband. Thp stimulus of
a warm and tenacious gratitude was now
added to the ordinary motives connected with
the profession, lie undertook her cause with
a will not easily to lie resisted ; he gained it;
the widow's estates were secured to her in
perpetuity; and, 111 r. Stephens added, with
an emphasis of emotion that sent its electric
thrill thri ughout the house, 'that orphan boy
stands before yob,"
Singular Circumstance
During the time of the cessation of arms in
the year 1777, while the articles of capitula
tion-were preparing, at Saratoga, the soldiers
of the British and American armies often dis
coursed with each other from the opposite
banks of Hudson's river (which at Saratoga
to about thirty yards wide, and nut very deep.)
A soldier in a British regiment named Ma
guire, came down to the bank of the river
with a number of his onnitpenions, who engng
ed in conversation with a piety of Americans
on the opposite shore In a short time some
thing was observed very forcibly to strike the
mind of Magaire. He suddenly darted from
his companions, and plunged into the stream.
At the very same moment. one of the Ameri
can soldiers. seised by a similar impulse, re
solotely dashed into the wafer, from the
op
pnsite shore. The wondering soldiers on both
sWe. beheld them eagerly swim towards the
Middle of the river, where they met. They
hung nn etch others' necks, read wept; and the
loud cries of "my dear brother! my dear
brother !I" which accompanied
.the transac
tion. soon cleared up tie mystery to the as
tonished spectators. They were brothers—
the first had emigrated from Ireland, and the
other had entered the army ; one wan in the
British, and the other in the American w
iriest, totally ignorant until that hour, that
they were engaged in hostHe combat against
each other's life.

TWO DOLDAMEI A•YRAR
Dealing With Thieves.
The following true story was t.lld of Jacob
Sheaf*, Esq., a merchant of Portsmouth. in
former times. A roan had purchased some
wool of him. which he had weighed and paid
for. and Mr. Sheaf° had gone to the back
room to get change for a..notta Happening.
to turn his head while there, he saw in a
glass, which swung so as to reflect the shop,
a stoat arm reach up and take from the shelf
h44't cheese. Instead of appearing sud
denly, and rebuking the man for his theft, as
another woold—thereLy losing his custom for
ever—the crafty old gentleman gave the thief
his change, as if nothing had happened, and
then, under pretence of lifting the bag to lay
it on the horse fur him, took hold of it and
exclaimed—
"Why, bless me, I must hare reckoned the
weight wrong."
" Oh no," said the other, "you may bemuse
you have not, fur I counted with you."
" Well, a ell, we won't dispute the matter,
it's so easily tried," said Mr. Sheafe, putting
the bag into the scale again. "There I" said
he, I told von so; I kuew I was right; made
a mistake of nearly twenty pounds. Howev
er, if you don't want the whole, you needn't
have it ; I'll take part of it out."
" No!" said the other, staying the hands of
Mr. Sheaf* op the ray to the strings of the
bag. " I guess I'll take the whole."
And this he did, paying for dishonesty by
receiving. the skim-milk cheese for the price
of wed.
On another 'oernsien Mr. Sheaf° 'ittipied
barrel cf pork, A few months after a man one
day naked him the queation—
" Lid You ever find uut who took the pork,
Mr. Sheide ?"
" Yell," waa the reply, "you are the fellow:
for noue but myself and the thief knew of the
lose."
The fellow was detected by the shrewd deal
er, who possessed the valuable faculty of know
ing when to be silent.
Omitting too Much.

fur appearances, the parties agrerd to employ
a not over wise country-jlstice to put on the

remarking that " it was customary on such
occasions to commence with a prayer, but be
be:iered he would Omit that.' After tying
the knot be said it was customary to give the
married couple some advice, but he believed
he would omit that. It arts customary, too,
to kiss the bride, but he believed he would
omit that also. The ceremony being ended,
the tridegroom took the justice by the button

Anecdote of Lorenzo Dow,
They tell a good story of Lorenzo Dow, or
a perambulating preacher of his school," to
the effect that riding once in a stage coach on
his way to an appointment, he fell in company
with some wild young blades, who were led.
from his eccentric appearance and manner,
to imagine that he was a proper subject for
their jokes and raillery. Ile atone* humored
their design, by affecting silliness, and ma
king the most absurd and senseless remarks.
Upon arriving at the place where he was to
stop, they ascertained who their butt was,
and began to apologize, observing, in extenua
tion of their rldeness, that his own conversa
tion had misled them. "Oh !" said he,
" that's my way ; I always try to accommo
date myself to the company I am in and
when I am among fools, I talk foolish 1"
