elected to tho'- United States Senate by the

is not good for man to , be 'alone, as ho is soon

recollect' hearing : a story that run, in this wise.:
.• Daring his period of law study in the south
eastern portion of, the State, he became ac-
quainted with a' young . lady of prepossessing
appearance and • more than ordinary accoth
plishments;.a daughter ofparenta of the higg
ist respectability, and ..moving in the most.
fashionable circle in the Vieinity.. • With her
he entered.one °fills earliest pleas; and co M.
menced his first snit. Thit he was successful
is evident from the fact, that, •shortlyafter his
admission to the bar, having obtained an hon
orable position, and business
,ConneAion, 'ar
rangements were made for constimatlng the
marriage; and , all went on harmoniously until a
short time.before the appointed day. ' • '
During his visit. one 'evening, he . remarked
that he believed • that all necessark arrange
ments for the Wedding were made,. and the
route for their bridal tour decided. He aded . ;
igDn our returns we shall be obliged to devote
a short' time to our friends' here, after which, if
you pleAtt, liay.a visit to my old fath
er arid mother,' and spend a . few 'days with
them." • Now La Fayette was always A. - good
boy, and . was taught to honor. his father end.
mother;*hich early beanie to•hirn a pleasure
as well as ri duty. He had received from them •
words•of love and .encouragement, which had
done for him 'without: money (for they were
poor) what money could hever hdve done, and
through all his privations and struggles tci
tain an:education and position in. life; he . • had
been stimulated•and supported by the , thought
ot the pleasure his success would kive 'them;
andlie looked forward .to the• day when with
his chosen one he should meet them beneath
their humble roof and receiVe.again their 'bles
sings, to-be one of the happiest heshould ever
experience. ' ' • • ,
Fora few , moments the lady kept efience.-
She then said, "Mr. Foster, you know I have
been educated vrith different ideas froth yours,
and halie always associated with people whose
manners and iityle of living are 'different from
those of your parents, Wand although I shall
make no: objection to your 'proposed, visit, I
wish you to ynderstand that I shall •not expect
to repeat it soon or often, and that =I shall not
desire to associate with people of their class."
Nothing ceulillhave surprised him more than
to hear these words front her lips. Far a few
minutes ha walked the . room seeiningly half
beseildered.• Then , taking his hat in • his hand,
he.turned, and with words more emphatic than
refined, said : "Madam, I air: glad I have

Opposed to Demoeracy,we have Andrew G.
Curtin, of Centre county, the' son of an' Iron
Master, and'onie himself an Iron Master, and
always oppdsed to the Democratic poky. His
father was a foreigner tram England or Fiance.,
His associations were adverie to our free in
stitutions. His farnily had a peculiar liking
for the nobility of Europe and.alvrays prefetred
the society 'of 'Hardman Philips. and..kindred
4pirits, who resided in Centre'copnty for many
years and refused, to, become -,

died diem: He fovea the country, and although'

gitand,of .the free,n- , liis . feelings were exclu,

Norris,- Irv.o.and other families in that vicinity,
made the Preasent home of Mr. Philips a, prin
cipal. place of resort. • All the 'influence they
could bring to bear was centered. to:efeat' . mid'
overthrow the Democratic party. Mortified
at ill success in efforts to defeat the•party of
principles under which. oar government' has re
mained free and prosperous, Mr. 'Philipit se
turned to . his. home in 'England, leaving 'his
landed possessions to be disposed of at .a great
sacrifice. The persons we have mentioned 'in
