Heing a very handsome woman, there were several luitors far her hsnd. The' only favored one among them .was a Mr Uarton. My wife never liked this Mr. Barton, and made no secret of her feeling to her sister, whom she frequently told that Harton only wanted to be master of the little haberdasbarv hop in Hognor.

My wi.'e, a little annoyed at her going out with this man, told Iter che had much better icmuin at home to look after her children and attend to I ho business. Mr M., however, bent on going, made arrangeuieuta about leafing the shop, and tot my wile to promise to e to her little girls while ho was aw;iy.

At eleven o'clock, Mr. Tin nock, my brother in-law, who had been one ofth Irty, came, apparently much agitated.

And when on my way homo trotti school I pass rich orchards of mellow fruit which Autumn has brought forth, und as I netir my boarding place I bear the iheciful voice of the weaver as i-bo tits day after day at her loom, weaving cloth for the coming Winter.

Tho names of 'Jovernors Nolle, Wallace and Kay, who have now all gone "To the land f tilcnl ilrcauii," Arc well known in tho history of Indiana, and wiil long live in the hand book of the public memory. These men all took their tue in this county, and they have bean succeeded in talents and office, os lawyers, by John A.

Tiio vicissitudes of fortune as seen from a standpoint in tho retrospection of past years, Hnuictiiues cast a shadow over the he 11 1 ( f the (ibfcrver somewhat like : tho darkness of death itself. Thirty years ngo, there was one bui-inc's mau, well known in this community, who appeared to move out on the high road of enterprise with the tread of a giant, and with the caution, sol prudence, and energy of the most intelligent business tuet. No ono doubted his honchty, as no one disputed his integrity or capacity. He always drove the wheels of his own catriuge, looked after his business himself, und made, as many supposed, a fortune if one hundred thousand dollars or tuoic. Hut the tido v( iortuuc turned on him at last, and in tiro freshets of (ho Whitewater alone, he lost iyJ.UtlO. These and other misfortunes crowded him under and ho failed, giving up every dollar ho owned in his own light. With his noble wife 1 lid largo family he left l is weil beloved valley for the bleak pluius of Iowa. There he begun ngsin the struggle of lifo with but limited capital, and wiih energies now impurcd with age, it wus not, therefore, n matter of wonder llaat the duya of hisnuecess were gone. His. wife, lie ;-i uud ri iicsl and Urpo hcurtcu wile, in a few short years sank under the sorrows and di.-eutcs of lil', and sleeps now in un Iowa uravo.

Whig in politics, and totally unpolished in the quiver of his saril stie editorials, he frequently cut both iwht and left, und many were tho tcrrifio y muds he inflicted on thoso who crossed Iii path. His stern malign looks on tho street and everywhere elc, made him tho more personally responsible. f r all of his editorial malignity, und hencu ho jrew to bo the worst lilted man of the most popular par cr ever, perhat'S, tublishcd 111 tho State. Cbilkson wus sharp, und, at the right time, ho found a pretty keen, mutt Methodist preacher, who had a lew thousand dollars 011 hand, and who, pcihaps, jn?t nt that time, thought there was more money and glory iu bt-ing an editor und publisher of u paper tlniii iu riding a circnir, and ho suld out the whole establishment to him, and shortly after the ex-editor Is ft fur tho State of Iowa, where ho has urown to bo a rich farmer nnd a distinguished Senator of that floui ihinr common wealth.
