"As regards the popular notion of the

his' progenitor covers his laziness as a
Mantle. ti
To the man who has accumulated a
competence, and concludes .that he is
privileged to roll himself ball and
snooze away the remainder of his life.
the man who counts his dollars by
the ten thousand, and IS so intent upon
adding to his , heap that he forgets the
outer world, staggering along under its
bound shaves of agony, losses, crosses,
pains and4ches.
- To the •hundreds who undertake to
escape from Labor by creeping under
the canvas into the arena' of some of
the•professions. ,
To the thousands who sit waiting for
some fortuitous circumstance to put
them to bed on couches stuffed with
greenbacks and supported' by four-post
bedsteads of solid gold:
To the ten thousands who go about
gnashing their teeth; and howling, be
cause they,:were not born with sliver
spoons in their mouths, and maligning

To the hundred thousands who sit

dinner and sewed on a,l
dozen buttons.
To the thousandswho regard the ac
cumulation of wealth by their husbands
'as lieenselo gratify-Their love of osten
tation and personal 'display. •
-To the tens of thousands who spend
their time in envious ba4ling about
their neighbors who act up to their best
light, and mind their own busines_s'with
scrupulens exactitude. p
To the hundred thousands who des
pise licusework, permit their mothers
to do the work of two, lest they soil

You have no right to shirk the re

of the universal machine. .You have
got out mesh, leaving your work to
be done by others. So, every day of the
year ten men and women drop dead in

It is said to cover as great 'a multitude

"Copperhead," the blackguard epithet so corn
• inertly applied to every patriotic man who rever
es the governmentof our fathers and who , hopes
yet to snit reinstated in all its, simplicity and
pristine purity." •
" Of course, what the Agitator says about the
dissatisfaction of the Democrats of Tinge. county
is the mere froth of rage. Mr. GUERNSEY was
elected to office in that eounty (sheriff) tile very
' last time our Party aucceeded in carrying It, and
has more personal friends than theeditor who
villifies him. But as to the rage of the abolition
ists, our faith in what the 'Agile/Or Says is as
great ne our enjoyment therein. 'We din well
believe the Tiogit county diannionists, who would
roast HARRY at the stake If they dared, will bate
to pay over to him the U. B. levy."
It is said that another European .war.
is-inevitable. Prance offered to buy the
Duchy ofliuxembourg, and Prussia re
fuses to sell. It seems to be agreed that
France has concluded to take Luxem
bourg, Prussia to the contrary notwith
standing. However, we can see no such
condition or menace in Napoleon's offer
to buy. Nor is it probable that¢ he will
embroil . Eurolie for the possession of a
little duphy witich might be wrapt up
in the skin of Delmar and' Charleston
townships. But the'Fortress of Luxem
bourg is, next to Gibraltar, the strong
est in Europe. Since the revolution of
'4B it .bas been g(trrisoned by German
troops ; and being upon the frontier ~of
FranCe,"constitutei a point of departure
for an enemy in case France should be
'attacked from that direction. Perhaps
that accounts for the with in that cocoa
'
nut.., •
A paragraph appeared in this paper
twaweeke ago, to the effect that the act
to increase the Capital of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad comptuiy, vetoed by the
Governor, had'been passed over the' le
to. Mr. Mann writes us to say that.the
vetoed bill did not pass over the veto,
in the House, but only in the Senate.—
We are glad to know it, and are bound
to say e at the House may take credit
for Roman virtue. •
We took occasion to condemn the at
tempt made by certain legislators to
raise their salaries. In justice to Mr.
Mann . we must state that he
. fought
against the proposed increase of pay
while the Appropriation bill was in the
House. As stated last week, the, at
tempt to raise the salaries of members
failed, and greatly to the credit of the
,Legislature as a body.

of Mr.. Guernsey; " or any othei.man,"

We came up to the Big Meadows, by
theivay . of Pine Creek, in canoes, the
poled by three men. And
hard work it was.. My fathefand fain- -
ily stayed iwith * James Boatman and
Josiah Furman until .he built a .smal l house near the 'Flat Rocks, where he
lived -for two or three years. Sam and.
(gorge' Campbell• came up with us to
Round Islands. , I came with them that
far. Sam killed a large Elk near Fall
.
big , Springs. • .
Our first visitor at Big Meadows was
a large panther that came to take our
hog out of the pen not twenty feet from_
the door. Our dog flew out of the house
. (the door was not made yet and a blanket
did duty for it) and treed the panther,
and kept him there till morning, when
we shot hii. Our. _Lneltt visitors were
two large rattlesnakea found lying' on
the foot Of th i e bed where my two broth
en3 slept. 0 that day the , door• was
finished and put up. , '
' Our dog teed seven panthers that
summer. One of them was shot at and.
wounded by Mary I Furman, Levi Fur
man's mother. The varmint was after
her geese.•• She took the gun, loaded
with shot only, and fired away at him.
The charge put out one eye and filled
the varmit's nose full of shot, but did
not kill him. There were plenty of Elk,
bears, and panthers and wolves, and
rattlesnakes in tho*e days. Our 'family
killed 365 rattlesnakes in one summer;
26 in one day, 18 , in another, and 17 in
another. Three of dpis used to go out
hunting them in their dens.
• At this time we had to get our 'mill
ing done at Jersey 'Shore, or English
Settlement, or Painted, Post. In the
winter we pounded our corwin a mor
tar made by burning 'out the end of a
hickory block. The pestle was worked
by a spring-pole: 'This lasted two or
three winters. Then we got a small
sett of mill-stones and worked them by
hand.
I suppose we were about as happy as
people are' •nowadays. We worked
hard, and fared lard and slept well.
I would like to,tell you about James

Mills's two daug ters, Anna and Molly,
the bravest.girls. ever knew or heard

A DREADFUL DEATII.-A young
French musician of much promise,
named Benoit Denis, met with a terri
ble death near Vera Cruz last December.
He was performing at the country
house of a wealthy American merchant,
residing near Vera Cruz, quitted, the
heated concert room to refresh hmself
in the pleasure ground, and enjo' the
cool evening air. Feeling thirsty, he
took tip an alearaza which he happened
te see near a fountain, filled it with fresh
water, and put it to his lips. Fright
ful screams instantly attracted the com
pany to the, spot. Den fit was lying on
the earth, his-hair on end, his features
livid,the body and tail of a monstrous
scolopender protruding from his gaping
mouth; The reptile, whose bite is more
venomous than that of a scorpion, had
taken shelter from the heat in the cool
procelain beaker. As Benoit approach
ed the vase tO his lips, the scolopender
had sprung at his open throat. In vain
was the reptile's body .cut away, , Once
its fangs' close on their prey it is-im
possible to tear them open. . A surgeon
who chanced tote among the guests
proceeded to cut them out of the flesh,
piece by piece ; but by the time'tho op
eration was over, the poison bad pro
duced its fatal results, ' and after three
hours of agonizing convulsions, the .un
fortunate young artist expired.

REMARKABLE` MOVEMPN AMONG
THE JEws AT BOMBAY.--The following
statement is represented by the London
Irish Intelli,cfencer to be made on the au
thority of the Indian Portirgaa, a For
tugese journal published at Genoa:
ii
'9reat excitement has been. caused
among the Jews at Bomb by the pub
lication by their pontiff, EL B. Koyn
'member of the family of aron,' who
has lately come tq Bomba from Jerusa
lem, of a pamphlet under t e title, ' The
Voice of the Vigilant'-4 e object of
this voice being to persua e the Jews
that it is useless waiting 1 ngerA for the
promised Messiah, as this I Jesus Christ
himself,' whose doetilneS _ have , been
spread all over the woad Without sound
or force.' The Voice is said to use argu
ments which are solid an '
conclusive.—
'Compare,' 'Says the pon Ur,' the Old
and New Testaments, a d the 'truth
will be seen.' He also ad a that he was
born in the old law, and u der it was el
evated to the ponti fi cate, ut the light
bad already penetrated ith its rays
into the deep recesses of h a mind, and
he is therefore persuad d, and with
well-founded reasons, tha it is in vain
that the Messiah is now l oked for."
