Climbing up the Senate stairs, and turn ing into a large bureau, where stationary lies by wholesale, you pass straight through, the busy clerks scarcely looking up, and open the door of a small, but lof ty office : behind a desk sits the Secretary of toe Senate, with a phonographer fac ing him on the opposite side. He has at his feet a great pile of ex chane newspapers, and as he takes them up, one by one, his, practised eye catch es whatever paragraphs affect himself, and whatever suggestions of public or person al note he may make available for his own publications. These latter he paraphrases at a thought, in a few earnest, perspicuous sentences, and talks them straightway to the phono grapher] who copies them in long hand, while Forney is looking' at another ex- ohange All at once he rises and paces the floor. A vital idea has occurred to him ; he re solves it without a pause into speech, and directly his clear, modulated voice rises to the finest didactic. The silent steno•. ghrapher has no need to tarry ; he carries the talk into manuscript, and reads it once aloud while the t-'eoretary listens, and then the article is done. liy this method-of preparing his copy, Col. Fdrney is enabled to supply the Washington Chronicle and the Philadel phia Press with from two to five columns of effective matter every day, and as he rises regularly before seven o'clock, almost his entire literary labor is despatched be- Terc'eleven, and' from fifty to, a hundred COD temporary journals.--aie.

FORNEY s & Proprietors fondness he had for public life rendered him at the outset a companion of those more exalted party leaders who were oblig ed to avail themselves of his industry and sagacity. From publishing a small paper in the interest of the drama, he became the proprietor of the leading weekly of Lancaster county, which he soon made the most influential political organ in the in terior of the State. Ills management was the only safe one I consistent with his limited education. Rather than originate principles of public conduct he preferred to attach himself to safe and experienced leaders, and battle up both them and their platforms. This has been the leading rule of his life; he is a pilot at the helm, watching the cap• tains, motioning hands, and standing to the tiller through the hotness of noon and the hurricane of the dark No beagle folloWed the quarry with a keener scent then he fought to their successful termi nation the policies prescribed to him Bis pride of State, and impulse of devo tion, led him to assert the claims of Mr. Buchanan to the Presidency, and there has been no such signal instances in our history of fidelity to the interests of one man, as the peisistence and assiduity with which Mr. Forney advocated the . measures and the promotion of the Bache for of Wheatland. If one man ever made another great, this journalist created that statesman-. For more years than we care to enumerate he rang the Deans of the future Presi dent, deelaiming the latter's personal vir tues; his public integrity, and the wisdom of his counsels. Day alter day he wrote unwearledly, qualifying in no line the skilfulness of his adulation, and bringing to his support all the motives and inheres which finally arouse indifference toenthu:-i -❑sm, All the while his own personal influ ence-tx tended, and in the pri ;!.unuil aF well as in clique, Forney still urged on his cherished purpose, manifesting so i nflexi- We energy that Buchanan's adherents gave him at last the editorial chair of the old and now deceased Prititgyfroni an at Philadelphia. This journal was one of the pulses of the Union, and Forney kept it vibrating on the same, ever iterated note, givalg, really, to the interests of another, and less capable man, the best half of his indefatigable life At last the victory came ; on the shout de re of John W. Forney, James Buchanan climbed into the White 'House. It was the moment for thanks arid compensation. The builder, front so long familiarity with the plans of the architect, had, himself, become a master of the art. lie was past forty years of' age ; he had that thorough appreciation of the service he had rendered which all sagacious and sen salve minds promptly feel. He knew what he had a right to expect, but he did not ask. His wishes were not necessary; fur money keeping he had no ability; but he did demand with more then a pol itician's aspiration some place in the high councils of the time, that be might bo identified with the Government as he had been with the man. It was the im pulse for power, leaping, as far as the rational spirit of the time went toward true patriotism. And every body in the country conceded both Forney's desert and capacity, but one wan That was the man Forney hid made. The sequel is fresh in the general mem ory. Buchanan's obligation was so great that ho wear:fd of it. The presence o Forney was a reproach to his own vanity; he felt that bitter consciousness which all selfish sensitiveness has, of a man wbo had served him, growing past his stature. And he had not the art to retain the man, nor the heart to render him, justice. The retribution was almost as sudden as the wrong. A man who betrays his friend will betray Ilia faith, and James Buchanan, believing in no one, holding by no convictions, with his officers in mu tiny and the crew distrustful or rebelli ous, trembled and sagged at the helm till the fabric of the Union shook like ship wreck. Then Forney took the thunderbolts like Alio hml in the holy war, and led the pursuit. He started the_Press newspaper upon borrowed money, confidently contri buted, and it went to the head of the po litical press Ho had labored for Buchan an like a teamster ; he fought against him like a horseman. True to his principle of devotion he al. lied himself. with Douglas, but with more independence than before, and with al ' most eleepleqs effort, aggravated by his slight, flung himself upon the Adminis. .tration. Douglas believed that Forney would become as immediately and as close /Otis supporter as Iluelninan'S;but the. 'Colonel ° bad wearied of such identifies: tion. .111oreoVer, be saw the small hand of the war rising up, as the camel scents the eltiud, and reserved himsolf"for the greater crisis. .l+Tever recreant to Douglas, and always , spealting,kindlyand promptly lo his tiver,,A.e ,yet felt the l ,e6ming, of more momentous issues:—the end of ,tbe Union or the end of Slavery. , For., the interregnum his policy was,to wait and to assail. , The masterly ncutral ity the Press,iti the' cainpaign of 149 gave,Pennsylvania to My Linoolo,,by.tbe election, of. Andrew burtia, and ensured: a total rebolution in National polities. Hu. clmnan, bitterly aware of the strength of the enemy he hotrtnade, went into retire ment amid execration, and his page stands the , weakest in the history of the Presi dents A genius, with his opportunity, might have usurped the liberties of the country; a strong and true man might have saved the republic. He has been away from the stage five years, and in that interval our judgment of him has grown-less harsh. We do not any more name him a subtle traitor. There are grave enough charges, besides,. to fill his unenviable epitaph. He was captious; he was old, he was weak. Had Buchanan, like Scott, at the conscious ness of his ineapheity, t Town up his eom mirmion and retired, wo whould hove in- dieted Breckinridgo for high treason, And saved the rein). For his miserable tenacity of office, we stand charged with millions of debt and of lives. • Before the accession of Mr. Lincoln that famous series of letters over the 'sig.. nature of "Occasional" had begun. They were vehement and telling from the start, but with the inauguration and secession, they rose from clear vocal appeals to be the swells of the clarion, the alarum of the bagpipe, the plaintive appeal of the harp, the call of the drum. Some of thew seemed almost inspired, as they touched all the strings of feeling in favor , of the Union, the law, and the country In their dictation—and many of them were written in Forney's own hand—the great politician showed how closely rank. ett Ute proirsston awl patriot's. There was not a sordid line in them, nor a personal aspiration: they were not the articles of a follower and disciple; for then the country stood without a leader, and no man long had confidence in the same man. Ihe Press rook down its flag of neutrality, hoisted new sails, and un der all canvas beat the seas like a man-of Mr. Lincoln hailed it as the country hailed the Monitor when the Moriimac was making havoc, and iroin that day to this UoI. Forney has been identified With the government; the lute I'resident both loved and consulted him ; he was the vir tual nominator of Andrew Jo and his battle ever since has been to keep solid and intact the Republican organization. If he fails in this, as we think he it will be ascribed to causes beyond hi. reach. There are no longer parties but in name: there trust be parties, or we are scarcely safer than when the enemy held the Ap pomattox and the Rapidan. The nation is most secure when the lines of opinion are distinctly wn ;at present we stand nowhere, and anywhere, and where there is no conviction there is most chaos Vive years ago we passed from partisanship to patriotism : we aro now changing buck, and Col. Forney and others assume the old roles, Wet,give him all credit for the past, as sincerely as we shall have to dif fer with him when the new issues aro pre sented. Among Pennsylvania politicians Col. Forney, for the present, holds the first place. The old regime of Whartonts Reeds, Ingersolls, Bigler and Blacks, are swept away : they loved the South wore than the country ; feudalism more than freedom : they never learned anything, nor forgot anything. Forney is the live man ; he has no habits that are his masters, no gossips who ab sorb more than his leisure. Ills office un der the government is not a lucrative one, but his two papers, the Press and Chron icle, are probably worth to him from thir ty to fifty thousand dollars a year. In person be is striking—above the - medium height, full of shonlder and limb; and his face is finely featured and intel lectualized after the best American typo of physiognomy, the forehead high, the grey eye open and direct, the mouth firm and resolute. Ile is a graceful and effective, but too rapid to be a precise writer. his eloou tion is always elegant; his rhetoric some times defective. [fie uses many meta phors, which are always expressive;. hut not always pers.picuous. For example, in a late "Occasional" letter, be says; "We leave all this to time, that great Alembic, which separates the gold from the dross, and. remove »zonnlabis /ppm its path." Col. Forney is a representative Ameri can, ditting(bis origin from the quiet me. ahanical way, and his life has been a work, directed by talent. He is one' of the "cleanest" journalists in the country, nev . er using billingsgate in denunciation, and never perrerting the truth to work his wishes. _Of his three sons two are in the service of his country, and the youngest is n journalist. - GEOROE 'ALEEED TOWNSEND xtEa.A. father was, winding his watch, when he said playfully, to his little 'Ol2, "Let me wind'your nose, up,"'- "No," said the:child, "I danqviant my dose wound up, for, I. don't want it to run all day."

Carlisle, Pa., Friday, August 18, 1865 No flame can burn so quickly or with 140 li4tle fuel as jealousy. Before we had reached the orTosite hank, I was wish- ing Donald at the "bottom of the sea Being naturally impetuous, I burst ou with . •• Ye need na !laud sae gingerly, Helen, as if ye !eared aN. I can aye carry.ye lighter than Donald can hall' of ye " Surprised at the vehemence ot n tone, (Air queen interposed with an a mission that we were both strong, and that she had no idea of sparing my pow- ers. But Donald's ire was kindled. and he utterly denied that I WaR at all qu ified to compete with him in feats of moral courage. On such topics, boys are generally emulous, and by the time we reached the opposite bank, it was settled that the point should be deter mined by our singly carrying Helen across the ford in our arms Helen was to determine who had car ried her most easily, and I settled with myself privately in advance, that the one who obtained the preference would really be the person who stood highest in her affections. The teflection stimulated me to exert every effort, and I verily believe to this day, that I could have carried, Donald and Helen on either arm like feathers. But I must not anticipate. We suffered all the rest of the party to pass quietly along, and then returned to the ford. I lifted Helen with the ut• most ease, and carried her like an infant to the middle of the water. Jealousy had inspired a warmer love, and it was with feelings unknown before that I em braced her beautiful form, and felt the pressure of her cheek against mine. All went swimingly, or rather wading,ly, for a minute, but alas ! in - the very deepest part of the ford, I trod elf a treacherous , bit of wood, which rested, I suppose, on a smooth stone. Over Irollcd, bearing Helen with me, nor did We raise until fairly soaked from head to foot. Itieed not describe the taunts of Don ald, or the more accusing „silence of Helen. Both believed that I fitiled from mere weakness, and my rival demon strated his superior ability, .by bearing her in his arms for a long distance on her homeward path. As we approached thit - htitisii; Helen, feeling dry and better humored, attempted to conciliate mo o .-- But I preserved silence: I was mortified beyond redress. That night I packed up a few things, and ran away. My boyish mind, sensi tive and irritated, exaggerated the nega tion which it had received, and prompt. ed me to a course which, fortunately, led to betterxesults than usually attends such irregularities I went .to Edinburgh, qvhere I found an uncle, a kind-hearted, childless man, ttilio gladly gave me a place in, his house, and, employed me in his business. Wealth flowed in upon 'him. I became_ his partner-L-went abroad—re sided four years on the continent, and fin ally returned to Scotland, rich,, educated, in short, everything, hilt married. One evening, while at a ball in Glas gow, I was struok by, a young lady of un iiretending appearance, but whose remark ROW I BEGAN LIFE. ' 4 - I began life by running • away from home. Boileau, we are told, was driven into his career by the hand of fate and the peek of a turkey. Attilla started in life with no other cause and capital than an 91d sword, which he was adroit enough to palm off for the divine weapon of Mars; anti Robespierre owed his political career to vetting his stockings—by which mis hap he was forced to take refuge in a Parisian club of Jacobins—and there heard " words which burn," that fired his soul, and determined his course in life My running away from home arose from a minor mortification, caused by carrying a pretty girl over the brook. Donald Lean and myself were good friends at fourteen years of age, and we both reguraect, with a little more tnan frendship, pretty Helen Graham, " our oldest girl at school." We romped and danced together, and this lasted for such a length of time, that it is with feelings of bewilderment that I look back upon the mystery of two lovers continuing friends. But the time (mule, as come it must, when jealousy lit her spark in my boyish bosom, and blew it into a con suming flame. Well do I remember how and when the '• green-eyed monster". perpetrated this incendiary deed. It was on a cold October evening, when Helen, Donald• and myself were returning, with our pa rents, from a neighboring hamlet. As we approached a ford, where the water ran somewhat higher than ankle deep, we prepared to carry Helen across, as we were accustomed to, with bands inter-. Ivoyea, " r..A.t00," and thus car ried our pre. ty passenger over the brook. Just as we were in the middle of the water—which was cold enough at. thc tine to have frozen anything like keling out of boys less hardy than ourselves—a faint pang of jealousy nipped my heart Why it was. I know not, for we had carried _l. , lelen fifty times across brook ere now without entution, but this evening, I thought or fancied that Helen gave !Jonah} an undue preference by casting her arm around his neck, while she steadied herself on my side by hold- ing the cuff of' my jacket TERMS:--$2,00 in Ad able beauty and brightened expression in dicated a • mind of more than ordinary power. ~I was introduced, but the Scot tish names had long been unfamiliar to my ear, and I ovoid not catch hers. It was Helen something, and there was some thing suggestive of pleasure and plain. But we became well acquainted that evening. I learned, without difficulty, her history. She was from the country, had been well educated, but her parents had lost their property, and she was now a governess in a family in the city. I was fascinated with her conversation, and was continually reminded by her grace and refinement of manner that she was capable of moving with distinguished suc cess in a far higher sphere than that which fortune seemed to have assigned her. I am nuturany nelW,er taikutive nor assign ed to confidence; but there was that in this young lady which inspired ,both, and. I conversed with her as I had never con versed with any. Her questions of the various countries with which I was famil iar indicated a remarkable knowledge of literature-and an incredible store of infor• oration We progressed in the intimacy, and as conversation turned on the reasons which induced so many to leave their native land, I laughingly remarked that my own travels were owing to falling with a pret ty girl into a ford. I had hardly spoken these words ero the blood mounted to her face and was succeeded by quite a remarkable paleness. attributed it to the heat of the room— laughed, and at her request, proceeded to give the details of my ford adventure with mien Graham, painting in glowing colors the amiability of my love. ~ tier mirth, during the recital, became irrepressible. At the conclusion she re marked : "31r. Roberts, is it possible you have lorgotten toe ?" I gazed an instant—retnembObed—and was dumbfounded. The lady with whom I had become acquainted was Helen Gra Imm herself I hate, and so do you, reader, to need lessly, prolong a story. We-were married, Helen and I made our bridal tour to the old place. As we approached in our car riage, I greeted a stout fellow working in a field, who seemed to be a better sort of laborer, or perhaps a small farmer, by in• (miring some partic-ihrs relating to the neighborhood, I.le .neWerod r.on “"d I ania 0b0.,e to givo him a six pence, when Helen stayed my hand, and cried out in the old style: " Hey, Donald, moo, dinna ye ken y'ere cid frien's?" The wan looked up in astonishment.— It was Donald Lean. His amazement at our appearance was heighteneu by its style; and it was with the greatest diffi culty that we could invite him to enter our carriage and answer our numerous queries as to old friends. Different men "start in life" in differ ent ways. I believe that mine, however, is the only instance on record, of a gen tlemen who owes wealth and happiness to rolling over with a pretty girl in a stream of water. Arai AT SOMETHING.—Arthur Gill man, in one of his published addresses tells what he calls an Andover story.— One day, he says, a man went into a store there, and began telling about a fire. " There had never been such a fire," he said "in the county of Essex. A man going by Deacon Pettingill's barn saw an owl on the ridge pole. He fired at the owl, and the wadding, somehow or other getting into the shingles, set the hay on fire, and it was all destroyed—ten tons of hay, six head of cattle, the finest horse in the county," etc. The deacon Was nearly crazed by it. The men in the store began exclaiming and commenting upon it. "What a loss 1" says one.— " Why, the deacon will well nigh break down under it," says another., And so they went on speculating One after,an other, and the conversation drifted on all sorts of conjectures. At last ai quiet than, who sat spitting in the fire, looked up and asked: "Did lie Mt the owl ?" That man was for getting at the point of the thing. Let our public speakers, in the pulpit and elsewhere, heed the moral. Did you aim at something, and did you hit what you aimed at ? No Matter about the splurge, and the smoke, and the hay —"Did you hit that owl ?" WA,..lk. LADY was once declaring that she (maid not understand'how gentlemen could smoke. "It certainly shortens their lives," said she. "I didn't know that," exclaimed a gentleman "there's my fath er who smokes every bleed day and he's seventy years old."

Beautiful Legend We find in a sermon of Theodore Par ker the following story. The subject of his discourse was " _Rest :" They tell a story that one day Rabbi Judah and his brethren, sat in the court of the temple on fast day, disputing about rest. Ono said it was to have attained sufficient wealth, yet without sin. The second said it was fame and praise of all men. The third that it was possession of power to rule the State. The fourth, that it must be only in the old age of one who is rich, powerful, famous and sur rounded by children and children's chil dren. The fifth said all were vain unless a man kept all tlie ) rit nal of Moses. And Rabbi Judah, the venerable, the tallest of the brothers, said. ~ Yo ho.. ~-..,L.:., wisely, but one thing more is necessary. He only.,can find rest who to all thinsg ad dethrthis—that he kept the traditions of the elders." 1• There sat a fair-haired boy, playing with lilies in his lap, and hearing the talk, dropped them in astonishment from his hands and looked up—that boy of twelve—and said, " Nay, nay, fathers, he only can find rest who loves his brother as himself, and God with his whole heart and soul. He is greater than fame, wealth and power; happier than a happy home without it; better than honored age; he is law to himself above all tra dition." Rules for Drinking. A Scotch parson once preached a long sermon against dram drinking, a vice prevalent in his parish, and from which report said, ho was not free himself: When you get up, indeed, ye may take a dram, and another just before• breakfast, and pethaps another after but %firma always be dram drinking. If you are out in the morn, you ma) brace yourself up with another drain, and perhaps take another before luncheon, and some, I fear, take one after, which is not very blameable, but dinna be al ways drinking. Naebody can scruple for one just before dinner, and when the dessert is brought in, and oue, orit may be two, in the course of the afternoon, just ti. keep you frae drowsing or snoozing, but dinna be •al ways dram drinking. Afore tea, and after tea, and between tea and supper, is no more but right and good, but let me caution you brethren, not to be atways dram drinking. Just when you start for bed, and when you're ready to pop into't, to take a dram or two, is no more than a Christian limy lawfully do. But, brethren, let me caution you not to drink more than I've mentioned, or may be ye may pass the bounds of mod- erasion Logical "Julius, you better dis morning." "No, I was better yesterday, but I go over it." "Am der no hopes den of your discov ery ?" "Discovery of what 7" "Your discovery Iron/ de convalescence what fotohod you on your back " "Dat depends, Mr. Snow, altogether on the prognostications which amplify the disease ; should they terminate fatally de doctor thinks I is a gone nigger , should they not terminate fatally, ho hoped de colored indiwidual wont die till another time. As I said before it all depends on de prognostics and till dese come to a head, it is hard telling wedder dis nigger will discontinue his come or not." A Wife Wanted A fellow in Aroostook county, Maine, answered a New York advertisement, 'representing that hie Could furnish any person with a wife. The advertiser re plied, directing the writer to a neighbor, ing asylum for idiots! The same youth, not at all abashed, whose name is John Morr's, speaks of himseif as follows: "I am eighteen years old, haVe a good set of teeth, and believe in Andy John ' son, the Star Spangled Banner, and the Fourth of July. I have taken up a State lot, cleared up eighteen acres last year, and seeded ten of it dOwn. My buck wheat looks first rate, and the oats and potatoes are bully. I have got nine sheep, a two year old bull and two heifers, beside a house and barn. I want to get 'par ried. I want to buy bread and butter, hoop skirts and water-falls for some per. son of the female persuasion during my life.

Newman, D. D.,-in his work "From Dan to Beersheba," which shows the effects of hereditary transmission in a clear light. What " fate" can be worse than this ? The author desci ibes THE LEPERS OF JERUSALEM—A few paces within the wall, and to the east of the Zion Gate ; are the " quarters of the lepers." Though formerly excluded from the city, they are now suffered to build their wretched huts along the wall. to obedience to a law prevalent through out the East, all lepers are compelled to live together in three colonies. and it is a coincidence no less singular the n true, that the cities in which these colonies are located were the residences of three his toric lepers : Naarnan of Damascus, Ge hazi of Nablous, and King Azariah of Jerusalem. Numbering in all two hun dred. those on Mount Zion are supported by charity. Their homes are miserable huts, low, dark. and loathsome. Allowed to marry only with each other, their off spring, when horn, are usually fair, and apparantly healthy Retaining their health and beauty up to the period of puberty, the fatal disease, like a scrofu lous spot, then makes its appearance on a finger, on the nose, or on the cheek, and spreading over the system, it ulti mately reaches some vital organ, and the unhappy victim dies. Preparing their evening meal, men r ri' e7et7 th hut to hut, exchanging and also their rude cooking utensils.— Their garments were old and torn, their voices dry and husky, their faces wer red, like a coal of fire half extinguished their eyes swollen and restless, their hair was gone, their lips and cheeks, nose and ears, were corroded with ulcers, and the flesh of their arms and hands had been eaten away, leaving the bone red and bare. Standing afar off, as in the days of Christ, they stretched out their hands and begged in tones so piteous that none could resist their entreaties. In the plaintive accents of their native Arabic, they hailed me, " Pilgrim, give me; for ' the Lord's sake, give mc." Dropping a few piasters in the folds of their infected robes, I hastened away, hearing their tones of pity, and seeing their horrid forms in memory days after the specta cle had been withdrawn. Alas for them to whom this world is one great hospital, and life the vestibule of the grave: PENsioNs.—Owing to the liberation of prisoners and the discharge of the army, the number of applications for pensions in the month of June was greater than ever before. Since the war began, 84,000 pen sions have been issued ; 34,000 to in valid soldiers, and 50,000 to widows, mothers and minor children. The pay ments to pensioners the past year have amounted to $6,000,000, and when all pensions arising from the war shall have been granted, the annual expense will be about $13,000,009. CAMP MEETING A N ECIDOTE. —At a camp meeting a number of ladies contin ued standing on the benches, notwith standing the frequent hints from the min isters to eit down. A reverend old gen tleman, noted for his good humor, arose and said : "I think if those ladies standing on the benches, knew they had holes in their stockings they would sit down. This address had the desired effect— there was an immediate sinking into the seats A young minister standing behind bim, and blushing to the temples, said f "0, brother, bow could you Bay that?" "Say that !" said the old gentleman, "It's a fact if they hadn't holes in their stockings, I'd like to know how they could get them on."
