PLEASURE, BORN OF PAIN’ DY WILLIS K. PABOB. 'There is a pleasure born of pai n ■Whan all its oarward signs depart — A triumph, when the steadfast brain Floats calmly o'er the struggling heart. By slow degrees this pleasure came; Just as a little rill of rain Flows slowly o’ver a level plain Before it earns itself a name, When hope had folded up her Wings. And sorrow had me by the hand To lead me to the 4 earful Land Where Memory in secret stings, — When Pain had license to bestow * Her malison upon my heart And I had borne my bitter part, And tasted of the fruit of wo, — When suffering with sore defeat, And wounded by the shafts of Shame, I sought to hide my guilty name, And gathered ashes round my feet, — Then, then it was, just when the night Was darkest, that there came to me The first wave of that endless sea Whose waters give a calm delight. There was pleasure for my pain, There was triumph in defeat, The bitter slowly changed to sweet And Reason was enthroned again. Above the breakers of my heart A calmness floated, such as gives A strength to him who truly live Anil firmly acts his little part. The pain—the struggle—were not long; I heeded not the transient power. For in that short and bitter hour I learned to ‘‘suffer and be strong.”

A Startling Confession. Mordecai Paine, a saddler, doing business in North Ninth Street, was called home from bis work shop on Saturday morning by a messenger who brought the melancholic intelligence that bis wife, Barbara, bad taken arsenic for the purpose of commiting suicide, and was then at the point of death. He hastened to her bedside, and found her more in agony of mind than body. She declared that there was something on her mind which she wished to confess to him before her departure, with the hope of obtaining his forgivness. Mr. Paine, with great emotion, desired her to go on with the disclosure, adding that she might assure herself of bis forgivness before she had made known her offence. ‘Ah, Mordecai,’ said she, ‘you remember our large white pitcher was broken some time ago; 1 pretended to you that the cat br 'ke it, but that was false, fur 1 myself did it.’ ‘Oh, my dear,’ said Mr. Paine, ‘don’t! concern yourself about such a trifle. I had forgotten the pitcher, and it matters not how it was broken.’ 'There is another matter,’ said Mrs. P. after some hesitation. ‘The six silver spoons which 1 made you believe were i stolen by the Yankee dock-mender, I| pawned them to raise money to pay the ! milliner for doing up my pink satin bonnet. * ‘Never mind it my love,’ said Mr. Paine, encouragingly. 'I hope heaven will forgive you as freely as I do.’ After a short pause, Mrs. P. began again: ‘Your best razor which you missed last summer, and made so much to do about, I swapped it away to a peddler for a tortoise shell comb.’ ‘The deucel—well, well,’said Mr. P., recollecting himself, ‘that is all done now, and cannot be amended. Think no more of it.’ ‘I could not leave the world with such i a thing on my conscience, ’ replied the fair penitent. •Go on, go on,’ eried Mr. Paine; ‘I told you that I could forgive everything at •uch a time as this. Mrs. P. resumed; ■You remember or boarder, Simeon Drake, who ran up a bill for six weeks, and then went off in a hurry without paying a cent. He and I had agreed to elope together; but he changed his mind at the moment and ran away without me.’ 'Fire and fury; doyoudareto tell me this?’ cried Mordecai in a great excitement 'But as you are dying 1 wont reproach you. I’ll leave you now to settle the affair with your own conscience? ‘Stay hear one thing more,’ cried the penitant Barbara. ‘The dose 1 took this < morning was intended for you I put it' into your cup of coffee, but in my hurry to get the thing done, I gave you the > wrong cup and took the right one myself.’ ‘The devil fly away with you, you jade!’ roared Mordecai, as he flung himself out of the room. In the entry he met the apothecary who had sold Mrs. P. the fatal powder. This medical man had heard of the commotion at Paine’s house and. juap«"ting Hia cauve of if, he came

to admisiter hope and comfort to the afflicted. ‘Don’t be alarmed. Mr. Paine,’ said he ■the drug I sold to your wife was nothing but magnesia. I judged that she wished to destroy herself, and I tricked her in this way to save her life.’ ‘You swindling rascal,’ shouted Paine, ‘how dare you to cheat a customer in that shameful manner, and obtain her money on false pretences? Begone!’ And with this exclamation he violently ejected the astonished apothaeary from his front door. The man of phisic, suspecting, of course, that the poor Mordecai was deranged, sent two officers to provide for his safe-keeping. His relation of the proceeding dialogue, however, soon obtained his discharge.— Phila. Press. The Yankee Schoolmaster. Ex-Governoi Bontwell told the following at a recent Educational Convention in Pittsfield:—A Yankee schoolmaster came over from Massachusets into Xork State last fall, and engaged a school.— He was told that there was one family of unruly boys who had turned the last teacher out of doors, and would try the same game on him. The new master resolved to begin with a firm hand, and establish his authority at the outset. On the first day of school, all went on srnothly; none of the rebellious family—the Litchfields—were there. The next day the same. On the third day, a stout young fellow of eighteen or nineteen appeared; and when the teacher asked his name, to record it, he learned it was Litchfield. ‘Ah, your name is Litchfield? Just step out here.’ And bringing him into the middle of the floor, be commenced whaling him with all bis might, till the frightened youth fled for his life. •There,’ said the triumphant pedagogue ‘I understood those Litchfields threaten to turn me out of doors, and we’ll see who is master heie!’ The boys laughed, and seemed to enjoy it so much, that the excited hero of the birch demanded an axplanation and found to his dismay that he had flogged the wrong youth—a very inoffensive lad of a highly respectable family, whose name had led to the mistake. The schoolmaster thought ‘a stitch in time would save nine,’ but unfortunately he took it in the wrong place.

A Domestic Row. Morton the editor of the Nebraska News, thus describes a domestic row and a subsequent reconciliation ot which he was a witness: Coming down the Missouri near Bean lake, between Weston asd StJoe, our boat was hailed by a woman on shore.— The officers of the craft with their usual gallantry, rounded to, headed up stream and stopped; the lady informed them that the ‘duds and cooking consarns' were all packed in a cabin, hard by, ready for removal, and that it was her desire to take passage down the river. Immediately the duds were under way, and fast coining on deck, when a man plowing in an adjacent field was seen to drop the reins and mount the horse, and come charging and yelling towards the boat.— The captain waited until he had arrived, uud then puffing and blowing: ‘Ann whar on earth are you going tew? Said she, ‘Joab, I allow to go wherr I ain’t to be cuffed, and cursed, and mauled every day, by such a brute as you are. Said he, in a very melancholly tone—‘Ann, farewell.’ Said she, doubtfully—‘Joab, if you’ll treat me beter I’ll stay and live with you until the breath is clean out of my body.’ And Joab promised that he would, and that he hoped to be eternally dog on end to thunder if he woulden’t pay the captain for landing and treat all around, if she would just stay, and so she stayed. And the last seen of this nearly seperated couple, they were affectionately embracing each other on the bank of the “big muddy,” surrounded by seven little free soil boys, whose shirtstails, like the banners of Macbeth, were hung up on the outer walls and whose eyes were full of gum, dirt and Wunder. And old lady said her husband was very fond of peaches, and that was his only fault. ‘Fault, madam,’ said one' ‘how can you call that a fault?’ ‘Why, because there are different ways of eating them, sir. My husband take* them in the form of brandy!’ The Boone Co. Pioneer says: We learn from persons attending the Circuit Court that the young wheat throughout the county, generally, looks, as well as it ever did »t this stsf’t of the year.

PROSPECTUS INDIANA STATE SENTIXEL, 1858. It is the intention of the Proprietors of the Sentinel to make it in all respects a newspaper worthy the sipport of the Democracy of Indiana And iii the proportion its circulation is increased and its advertising patronage enlarged will be our ability to add to its interest. Having no local Agents, we depend entirely upon the etfortsof our political friends to extend its circulation. In no cheaper or more effectual way can political intellence be circulated, zeal excited and party organization preserved, than through the medium of the press. All then.whoaredesirious of the succes of Democratic principles and police, can serve the cause in no better way than in extending the circulation of the political organs o£ the party. The year, upon which we have entered, will doubtless be one of important, events- Upon all matters of public interest we shall give foil and reliable intelligence. An important State election occurs next October. A new Legislalature, members of Congress, Supreme Judges, and most, of the State officers are tobe elected. It isonlyby sleepless violence and untiring effort that wo can expect toinaintain the supremacy of the Democratic party. It behooves every Democrat, thot. to inform h : -n ,-!f upon Um'ssues of the day. which it will be the object of the Sentinel faithfully topresent, and thus be prepared for the conflict. The Sentinel will be governed in its political course bv the authoratively expressed sentiments of the party. The principles and policy it promulgates it will be our aim to advocate and defend, believing that upon the integrity of the Democratic partv rests the preservation of our unequalled Government. It will represent the j Democratic party of Indiana; not cliqies, factions or men. It will be impartial towirds all candidates for party favor but whoevei it may select as candidates for public position, and its i representative men, it will be our object 10/flect and sustain. The Sentinel will pay especial attention to commercial news, the agricultural interests of the State, and all miscellaneous intelligence. We have made arrangements for the news bv telegraphasfullastheCincinnati papers This; will add largely to our expenses, for which we I hope to be remunerated by an increased circulation. We will, also, send the Doily by express to all the principal points in the State. terms: — Strickly in Advance.

THE GLOBE: THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS. I PUBLISH now my annual Prospectus of The Daily Globe, and The Congressional Globe and Appendix, to remind subscribers, and inform those who may desire to subscribe, that. Congress will meet on the first Monday of ; next December, when I shall recommence pub lisiiing the above named papers. They have j been published so long that most, public men i know their character, and therefore I deem it needless a minute account of the kind of matter they will contain. The Daily Globe will contain a report ofthe i debates in both branches of Congress as taken down bv reporters equal, at least, to any corps, of short hand writers in this or any other coun- I try. A majority of them will. each, be able to ; to”report, verbatim, ten thousand words an hour while the average number of words spoken by , fluent speakers rarely exceed seven thousand , five hundred words an hour. When the de- I bates of a day do not make more than forty' columnsthey shall appearin the Daily Globe of j the next, morning, which will contain, also, the , news of the day. together with such editorial articles as may be suggested by passing events. : It is also my intention, from time, as occasion ■ may require, to publish my reminiscences of the I public men with whom I have been associated during the last twenty eight years. Anecdotes ‘■ft. n-ral Jackson, and the leaders of rhe party j which he conducted, and the leading men of, other parties, will, I believe, be interesting now ; when partisan bitterness has abated. | In becoming the reporter of the debates of j Congress I deemed it proper to say- that the ( Globe would never be a partisan paper. This | pledge will not be forfeited by introducing as a , contribution to history the political traits of character which distinguished the public men of my time. Although I am, and intend to remain, a thourough democrat, I will never obtrude my principles in away to make them obnoxious toauv party. But in regard to persons and events which go to make up history. I hope to make the Globe an honest memoir; and with that view I am resalved to speak independently of all parties. The Congressional Globe and Appendix will I contain a report of all the debates in Congress, revised by the speakers, the messages of the President of the United States, the annual re--1 ports of the heads of the executive departments, the laws passed during the session, and copious iudexes to all. They will be printed on a double royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto size, ! each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is believed, 3,8'0 and 3,900 pages, as the long sessions for many years have ranged between those numbers, and the next session will be what is termed a “long one.”— This I believe is the cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a reprint or printed from manuscript copy, taking for data the average --umber of words of the long session since 1 the year 1848. The average number of pages is 3,876, and the average number of words on a page is 2,397,consequently, the average number of words of a long session is 9,29 ',772. As I have sold to subscribers that number of words for six dollars, it follows that they have paid less than six and one-half cents for every 10 I,oo<l word I have furnished them, while I have paid my reporters 629 for every 2,397 words, of this work, in manuscript? Has any other bookseller, anywhere, ever sold a book in the first instance,"while it was new, at so low a rate? I believe not; and so strong is my belief that I hereby agree to give to any person who shall prove the contrary a complete set of the debates running back to 1833. making forty-three quarto volumes, which sell for $5 a volume. An act of Congress authorizes these papers to go by mail fe®«> of nost»s« The next session will be, without doubt, an unusual interesting one; as it will be the first under a new administration, and several complex questions must be discus- , sed in it—for example, the currency, Kansas, revenue, and other questions. The Globe will be asheretofore, the only source from which full debates can be obtained. terms: For a copy of the Daily Globe one year, $lO 00 “ “ “ six months. 5 0" “ “ “during the session 5 00 For a copy of Congressional Globe an Appendix, and the laws passed during the session, 6 00 , Bank notes, current inthesection of thecoun try where a subscriber resides, will be received ' at. par.

In these times of Bank suspensionsand Mer- ! cantile suspensions the proprietors of the Sa turday Evening Post call the attention of the reading public to their old and firmly established weekly paper, as the paper that never suspends. For over THIRTY-SIX YEARS ‘ The Post has been published ; and in all that ’ period—through “good times" and through 'bad I times, - through bank inflations and bank con--1 tractions, through prosperous seasons and through panics, the Post hasb en regularly is i sued every week, and forwarded to its thou--1 sands of subscribers. Its proprietors therefore ! point to the past as an unfailing index of the future. And they feel that in asking of the reading public a continuance of the patronage j heretofore so liberally bestowed upon The Post ! they are asking no more than what it will be j both the interest and the pleasure of that pub. lie to grant, Among the contributors to the Post, we may I mention the following gifted writers: William Howitt Allice Carev, T. Sr Author, Grace : Greenwood, Anna Blackwell, Augustine Duganne, Mrs. M. A. Denison, Emma Allicc | Browne, the author of “An Extra-Judicial Statement,” the author of “Zillah, the Child ; Medium,” Ac. NOVELET, BY T. S. ARTHUR. Mr. Arthur’s productions are so widely known, that we need hardlv say t at the tone of the present novelet will be consistent with the Mo ral and instructive character which we have always striven to impress upon the Post. Read- i ers’who wish to peruse the flash stories which i abound in the land—pernicious and destruc ( tive in their tendency and effects—can find them, we regret sav, at every corner. But the '; Post will still maintain its high character, as a j paper which the most scrupulous parent may ; allow freely to enter ’ THE FAMILY CIRCLE; And which will purify and and instruct, instead ( ofdemor lizing and” corrupting the youthful; mind. Especially will its conductors avoid, in ; the publication of the weokly news, nil those long and disgusting reports —unfortunately now so common —of VILE CRIMrNAL cases; Believing, as they do, that the practice of publishing rhe details of such loathsome Ores, and criminal trials resulting therefrom, is a fruitful causeofthe recent alarming increase of vice and crime in the community.
