xpiain, calling Charlotte's attention)
more particularly to the armor, he neglec
ted the air-pump. and the Major, thinking
he might venture to be exhausted from
his long confinement, began to express
himself as any thing but at home. 'Pump
pump: or I shall d;e! Quick, pump,
pump, pump, pump,' and 'Pomp,' he al
most inaudibly exclaimed, while he sank
upon the carpet, apparently unable to
bear his incarceration longer. Both the
old man and Charles flew to the air-pump
while Charlotte, in her attempt to sup
oort the sinking man, received the letter
which she quickly concealed in her bosom.
'That'll do—l'm better now l" cried the
Major.
'l'm glad of it,' said the old %lan. 'I
thought we should have to call the Coro-I
ner, and that would be bad for the news- 1
'Pump!'
'Yes, they do pump, with a vengeance!
They are always putnring neverdryl
They—'
'Pump:'
Charles let fly the atmospheric yet a
gain. and Charlotte lett the room in haste.'
Having read the nate, she stole slyly out
of the front dour, having told Betty that!
she was going to her own room, and then . ;
deposited herself in the carriage, which,
was only observed by the lover in the win'
dow.
•'lt's all right," whispered Charles,
through the pipe, •prepare to depart.'
The old man having expressed a favor-
able impression of the'invention, reques
ted Mr. Charles to call upon him on the
morrow for a decision about the amount
of shares that he would take, and anis-,
fed the enterprising young men to depart. '
H e
saw them to the door; but, unlucky ;
chance! as the Major passed over the
threshold, his foot caught, and he was
thrown headlong down the steps! The
armor protected hire, however; and hur
rying to the carriage door, with the assis
tance of Charles, his cumbersome person
concealed the affrighted ,Charlotte, from
the eyes of the guardian, and the success
ful trio drove off, amid the cries of, 'Pump
—pump, pump!' to an accommodating
clergyman, who made Charles and Char
lotte one that very night, and that too, in
the presence of tile armor-clad Major, and
as we know to the chargrin of Mr G

CAPITAL HINTS.
BY ROBERT WALEH.
lfyou would talk much, you should par

ways speaks too much who speaks ill.
A great talker will go on, though no

when spoken to.
Whit is the most magnificent human
parade, to the expanse of heaven, or the
starry firmament?
It is lietter that a man's own works,
than that another man's words should
praise
Rectitude and modesty are nearly alli

Let us take as much care to live well,

A little wrong done to another, is a
great wrong done to ourselves.
The Arabians say---nit is not good to

No performance is often better, than,
that which is slovenly and imperfect.
A true spirit of religion enlivens as well
as composes the soul.
Silent virtues in solitude are worth all
the honors of active life. He that stands
below on firm ground is in no danger of

whom nobody is afraid.
Draw up a particular account of your

And of rude commons rich enclosures make.
THE FARMER
Of all pursuits by man invented,
The ploughman is the best contented—
His calling's good his profits high,
And on his labor all rely.
Mechanics all by him are fed—
Of him the Merchants seek their bread;
His hands give meat to every thing,
Up from the beggar to the king.
The milk and honey, corn and wheat,
4re by his labors made,somptete;
Our clothes from him must first arise,
To (let'x the fop, to dress the wise.
We then by vote may justly state
The ploughman ranks among the great:
More independent than them all
That dwell upon this earthly ball
All hail ye farmers, young and old,
Push on ycur plough with courage bold—
Your wealth arises from your clod,
Your independence from ) our God.
If then the plough supports the nation
And men of rank and every station
Let kings to farmers make a bow,
And every man procure a plough.
From the Common School Assistant,
'THINGS A FARMER SHOULD NOT
1. A farmer should never undertake
to cultivate more land than he can no thor
°uglily; half•tilled laud is growing poorer;
well tilled land is constantly improving.
2. A farmer should never keep more
cattle, horses, sheep, or hogs, than he can
keep in good order; an animal in high or
der the first of December is already half
wintered.
3. A farmer should never depend on
his neighbor, for what he can by care and
good management produce on his own
tarn; he should never beg fruit while he
can plant trees, or borrow tools when he
can make or buy; a high authority has
said, the but rower Is a servant to the len.
der.
4. The farmer should never be immer.
sed in political matters as to forget to sow
his wheat, dig his potatoes and bank up
his cellar; nor should he be so inattentive
to them as to bej ignorant of those great
questions of national or state policy which
will always agitate, more or less, a free
people.
5. A farmer should shun the doors of a
bank as he would the approach of the
plague or cholera, banks are for traders
and men of speculation, and theirs a busi
ness with which farmers have little to do.
6. A farmer should never be ashamed
of his calling; we know that no man can
be entirely independent, yet the farmer
should remember, that if any one is said
to possess that enviable distinction. he is
the man.
7. No farmer should allow the reproach
of neglected educatiou to lie against him
self or family; if knowledge is power the
beginning of it should he early and deep
ly laid in the district school. . .
8. A farmer should never use ardent
spirits as a drink; it, while undergoing se
vere fatigue and the hard labor of the
summer he would enjoy robust health, let l
him be temperate in all things.
9. A termer should never refuse a fair
price for anything he wants to sell; wel
nave known a man who had several hut'.
dren bushels of wheat to dispose of. re
fuse 8s because he wanted 8s thl and at
ler keeping his wheat six months, was
glad to get 6s 6tl, for it.
10. A farmer sh uld never allow his
wood house to be emptied of wood du•
ring the summer seasonk if he does, when
winter comes, in additlfin to cold fingers,
he must expect to encounter the chili!):
look 4 of your wife, and perhaps be coin
'pelted, in a series of lectures, to lean,
that the man who burns green wood ha,
not mastered the A B C of domestic e
conomy.
11. A farmer should never let a win
dow to be filled with red cloaks, tatteree
coats, and old hats it he does he will
',most assuredly acquire. the reputation of
a man who tallies long at the ;whiskey,
leaving his wife and children to starve at
home.
ROTS IN HORSES:
It is said that bats in ha: sea are caused
by a fly that deposites its eggs upon the
hair of the horse, which causes an itching,
and as the horse scratches himself with
his teeth, the eggs adhere to the glands of
the mouth, and are thence carried with
the food and drim: into the stomach, and
there hatch and become bots. It is also
said if a horse be supplied with salt fre
quently during the fly season that the
eggs which go thus far into the stomach,
will be destroyed and pass off without pro
ducing hots.

This body assembled this day at Har

and the prejudices of personal prefferen
ces, ran alone be told by their course.
We believe, and believe sincerely, tha t
they have it in their power so to consen
trate the opposing forces of Van Buren ,
that they would scatter his legions of par-
asites, like chaff. The waves of public
indignation are fast rising to overwhelm
them. The storm that awakes them is

Something New
Governor Porter has issued a proclama
tion, declaring, that C J. Ingersoll he .wh o
insuld have• been a Tory had he lived in
the days p! the revolation,'was duly elected
: is a member of congress, for the tEird
:district.
Our renders recollect that at the
election in '5B, Charles Naylor and Tory
Ingersoll were the opposing candidates—
Naylor received a majority of 775 vote
in the whole district. Thus beating his
trry opponent, in a district which gave
every other candidate, on the Loco Poco
ticket, except the tore, a majority. Thus
demonstrating that he was dispised by
his own partisans.
Maddened by such a disgraceful defeat,
and an avowed enemy to our institutions,
he, with the boldness of a Cateline, atten
ded the meeting of the return-judges;
and co ruled the minds of his partisan
judges that they refused to receive the•
votes of certain districts, thus, leaving a.
majority, apparently, for himself. This
movement on his part, if we reccollect
rightly, was the cause of the difficulty at
Harrisburg; by throwing off those dis
tricts; to his dismay, he found that the
Whig assembly ticket would have a ma
jority. To remedy this evil, the black
guards and dog keepersassembled at Har
risburg and forced the suple tools into
their seats; declaring that ALL the dis
tricts must be counted.
Now the other part of the disgraceful
scene is to be carried out. Ingersoll is to
take his seat on the opposite principle,
ALL the districts muse not be counted.
Gov. Ritner, knowing, that 'Naylor had
a majority, never proclaimed the election
of Ingersoll, and, consequently, he had
not the executive authority for claiming
his seat. Thus has the matter rested :for
more than a year. On the 25th of last
month, Gov. Porter issued a proclamation
declaring Tory Charles as the duly elec
ted member.
The law says, "and it shall be the duty
of the Covet nor ON THE RECEIPT
OF '['LIE RETURNS, to declare by
proclamation the names of the persons.
elected." Has Mr. Porter done so? His.
proclamation says, he received the returns
on which his proclamation is based, on
the 15th of January 1839; yet he issues
no proclamation for less than TEN
MONTHS. Does any man in senses
say that this was obeying the law, even if
he thought Ingersoll duly elected 7
On these garbled returns, and this il—
legal proclamation, the insidious Tory
hopes to put the law and the penpleat de
fiance.
We have given these facts to our read
ers that they may judge of tha spirit
which actuates the arch intriguers
If the Loco Foco members orassembly
were entitled to their seats because a ma
,Frity of all the votes was given for them;
why in the name of common sense and
common reaquo, is not Naylor entitled on
the same g rounds ? Let the honest and
candid of every party answer.
The bull started by Judge Porter at
Harrisburg—Breaking up of the Juries—
is rolling over thelentire State, we believe,
and the result of it will be a cost of thou
sands of dollars to the industrious people
of the State ; and it must be torn from
their purses by taxation. if th people
are satisfied with such th . ngs, we must
suLmit with Ahem. '

CONGfiEiS
Will assemble on Monday next, the
2tl of December. It is expected that
some excitement will prevail at the open
tog of the session, as will be seen by the
following correspondence of the Balti

(Correspondence of the Baltimore Fat.'
WASIUNGTI N, Nov. 19, 1819.
Nat a ',little excitement is realized a
mong us, by the fact that it is, strongly
enough, in my opinion, believed that a

in this city, prior to the Ist of December

to the claims of those gentlemen front N,
