Every one has heard of our eloquent
pathetic end humorous stump orator of
Ohio, Tom Corwin. A boat twenty
years ago, ho used to tell, with great
gusto, the following story :
In early life—so early that 1 cannot
remomber the removal—my rather pull
ed up stakes, and carrying with him the
household goods, went from Bourbon
Mucky, where I way burn, to
Ohio. Notaithstanding a rough and
tumble struggle with the world be had a
hard time to get along, owing to a no
inertias and rapidly increasing family.
Well, family matters ha•l not much im
proved when I reached my thirteenth or
fourteciiiii year. At this thou there
lived in the ueighboihood a young man
by the name of Pickering. Ile bad in
herited a well-stockcd farm, was good
looking, and made strong profesiions of
religion.—This latter qualibcation caus
ed him to tied peculiar favor in the eyes
of my flither, eho was always bliuded
by professions of extra piety.
This fellow bud a hankerina after.orn3
of nit• sktcrs, who was a very pretty
girl. To her he was peculiarly distaste
ful ; she seemed always anoo3ed at his
presence ; yet he was ever by her side.
She dared not dismiss him entirely, for
fear of ihe paternal auger. Tbiugl went
on in this way a year or two, and as I
partook largi: ly of my sister's hatred to
him I resolved to get rid of him in some
way. I east about for a plan for some
time, but nothing occurred which gave
me the slightest hope of being sucOess•
ful.
ME
At last, returning home late one Sun
day night from the mill, I found. the
family at their nightly devotious.
Passing by the windows of the room
where they were assumbled,l saw that
Pickering ‘tas there and pretty soon I
saw him nod, and finally his head drop
ped. Now was my opportunity. I
stole silently into the hall, and, reaching
the hail door, which was slightly ajar,
and close by which Pickering was on
beaded lute, I reached iu and quickly
pulled his chair from under him ; he
rolled heavily, as a sound sleeper would,
upon the fluor. The noise alarmed all.
The old gentleman stoppediu'the midst
of his almost interminable prayer and
saw the position of Pickering all the
family laughed outright, and even my
mother smiled.
Pickering endeavored to pick himself
up as rapidly as possible, but in had
touched the old oleo upon his tender
It was evident from his rubbing
his eyes that he had slept under the old
gentleman s miuistrati ❑s ; and had not

"Begone, hypocrite!' he cried in
thundering tones. " Never enter my
house again "
Picketing was thunderstruck, He
felt that he could not add to the insult.
lle at once found his bat, took up his
line of starch, and, completely crest rai
len, passed me as I stood grinning in
elto shadow of the porch. At a suitable
time I entered, got toy supper, was told
by a brother in a hurried whisper what
bad happened, and then I stole off to
bed affecting ignorance, and laughing
lutist heartily us I esconced myself in
the sheets, at the complete success of
my plan. Next day I cautiously impar•
teal my secret to my sister. Site was in
her room at the time, and she threwher.
self upon her bed and rolled in agonies
and convulsions of laughter. She bad
been emanci, ated forever from her oh,
noxious lever. The old genilemen did

over twenty years afterward, but . abet,

tar In the yard of the State Capitol
at Harrisburg, on the hill in front of
the arsenal, can ho seen a number of
relics. We •refer to the geld pieces
presented by General La Fayette, dur
ing the Revolution, to the old Conti

tured at- Cerro Gordo, Mexico, April
18, 1847, by the American army under
General Scott. The latter pieces were
presented to the Stale of Pennsylvania
by Major General Patterson. The rev

Count trEzitang, and bear the inscrip

a revolver twice, dropping him to the
ground. A policeman hastened to the

staying there all night. A letter was
