Purity and truth, while sheltered from the public eye, Is piirity aud truth indeed 1 1 love those blinds, tor years have they protected me from the obtrusive burning rays of old, Old Sol, and cast a pleasing shadow o'er my quiet room. Do not like the dazzling, glaring, gorgeous the plain, the mild, the genial, suits mo best. The soft light and mellow shade fills me with a dreamy happiness 1 A soft, delicious quiet ! I love those blinds, for they are kind to me; and kindness endures love. You love me and I'll love you, is mortal. We cannot move, or think, or feci without a cause; nor love nor hate. May I never have a cause to hate, and may I never give it. I would be like those blinds; (excepting they're in pairs,) would shield from disagreeables would shelter oft from great extremes. Would mellow down the fiercer lights, and cm-

. blems same presents, obscured or ur.obscured.in daylight or in dark. Why not? Is it impossible? Why not be perfect? "even as our Father heaven is perfect." Try it, Frank; try it ! I will. That table there, which stares me in the face, admonishes. A veneered table, with cherry top, of plain and almost stinted make. It seems fragile, and so it should; these outside shows are sure to be. How many souls we find veneered; and how weak, and frail, and worthless are they, too ! Polished they may be, and pretty to the eye; yet, it is but outside show, only lit to look upon 1 They are not what they seem their polish is not their own. And while appearing to be smoothe and good, internally . they're rough, knarled and cross-grained. We all veneer too much. Forever study to seem what wo are not. Make a good appearance in the .world, my son; study to be agreeable; hide your faults, and you will prosper ! This is the mother's counsel to her son, as he steps upon the busy life-stage of action; leaving behind the genial quiet home ! So it is. If you would win a fair hand, you must be kind, attentive and polite. You must not let her know you use profane nnd indecent language, keep bad company, and chew tobacco; that you lie in bed in the morning and let your poor old mother get up and make the fire; No ! sir; that would never do ! You must be well veneered, my son, with costly materials; more especially the frontal exterior. Veneer yourself well; and if you can put on the "French polish," all the better; people will esteem you more highly. They look at the outside; if you seem right, you , will be thought right. Always be seen going to church, (mind it is a popular church,) and above all, don't be seen in bad company. Put the best foot forward, ana the world will move along smoothly. Wear fine boots, if you have dirty feet and holes in your stockings. And if vou have no clean shirt, wear a "dickey. V "Dickeys" are fashionable and handy things. But if you have neither shirt nor "dickey, put on a collar and button your vest up round your, throat. If it should be warm weather, declare you are chilly and fear you are having a shake. You will never get along by being poor. If you have no money in your pocket, nor brains in your head, be as rich as a jew, and wise as a "wise-acre.". Marry rich. She ma' find herself cheated; but she can't help it, and will have to make the best of it 1 This is veneering human veneering detestable 1 Well, I don't know.' We are none of us perfect. Mahogany veneered furniture is more handsome than rough oak more pleasant to the sight and touch. It is a desirable thing to be handsome; 'tis better that we should cover our shortcomings a little, than give them more prominence; 'tis better that we should be pleasant to the sight and touch. So it would seem. But for what purpose should we veneer? If for self aggrandizement, for selfish ends, we are indeed an object of loathing a mean, despisable thing. But if it be that we may add to the comfort and happiness of those around us, we can but admire it, and respect the practice; nay, almost love it. If the veneering is to benefit others, put it on. 'Tis so with my table. Veneered and polished furniture is universally admired. - State Fair Grounds. The timbers, I understand,, are being found for the various halls to be erected on the State Fair Grounds. As the Fair has been permanently located on those grounds, the buildings are to be permanent, remaining for the accommodation of the Fair from y ear to year. Such being the case, it will be necessary that those buildings should be protected, or they will be destroyed. . . , : ; They can be protected in this way: As the grounds, we take it for granted, will no longer be unconstituiionally suffered to remain a cattle and horse pasture for one or two special favorites, we suggest that some individual, and enough oould be found to do r it, be allowed to put up a house for occupancy by the keeper of the grounds, who should live in it,' and keep the grounds in order and preserve the buildings from destruction. He could make it pay well by keeping refresh-: ments, creams, lemonades, oysters, &c, for the accommodation of such persons as at all seasons would visit the grounds as a place of recreation, and to enjoy a ramble under the shade of the native forest trees that cover it. EESPONSE TO MR. J. H. Mr. J. H. We noticed in the Locomotive ot August 4, that you undertook to expose our church and minister at West Union, but have not done it in the estimation of those interested. Those that have seen the note say that they knew the hand writing as soon as they saw it.: This is not the first lime that he has tried to ad-i vertise individuals. He tried before, but without success. He has acted the impostor and signed his note with J. H., which we know is not, the proper initials of his name. He knew if he signed his own name it would not be published,, or if it was, the community would not have any confidence in it. Mr. Editor, we have been told that J. H. informed you in a note that it was the request of the church and community around' that the piece to the ministers of the gospel,sliuld be published. .We can say,-that it is as base a falsehood as ever was dropped into a letter box. In regard to what we pay A. H., . (our minister) per day, it is not half as much as he stated iu his writing. A. II. is with us the second Saturday and Sunday in every month, and we pay him $70 per year, which is not the half of $6 per day, for the time that lie spends, with us. . -,..;' Be it understood, that J. H. is not a member of the church, but it is likely he was . once, but. has been excluded for profaneness. , . L. W. P. ; . . , . knowledge. . Knowledge is a treasure, of which mental labor is the key. It is a source of pleasure, as is acknowledged by the desire which each one has to increase the stock of ideas which he already possesses. Wc always rejoice in pursuing and acquiring knowledge, and grieve when we cease

to remember what we have pursued. But knowledge becomes only folly when it ceases to acknowledge common sense for its guide. In seeking for it, your principal aim should be truth, and remember above all things to try and comprehend your own self. Enter into your own bosom, and freely confer with your feelings and views. Mark carefully, and flee from everything you observe to be wrong, and with equal care consider and claim whatever you perceive to be right and nrnnur

Ohio and Mississippi railroad, hopelessly insolvent, and compelled to suspend the run ning of 'their road, have leased it for fifteen years to George V.' Jenks, who agrees to keep the road and stock, in good running qfder, pay certain debts and the interest on the bonds. -: By this arrangement the cars will again be started on the road and travel resumed. It will be a long time long after the time fixed for the millenium before this road will be finished through the. knobs of the White river bottom,- in the southern and western part of our state, east of VincennesJ Until that time comes, ' the : travel between St. Louis and the east and south-east must of necessity pass through this city. , , - iCSTThe papers all over the country are full of details of the Louisveille riots,' with all kinds of stories and exagerations. Political excitement was the great cause of the riots, and to make political capital partisan papers are still detailing it. We thought we would give this week a brief account of these outrages, but we have seen none that we would like to transfer to our colnmns--those that were nearest the truth, as wc thought, certain too much of the horrible for us to lay before our readers. The resalt of these riots is that people, and particularly the foreigners, are leaving Louisville by thousands ' mercnanis ana business men are arraid lo go there to transact business, as there is no telling at what hour the scene on election day may be repeated, and Louisville will suffer as much in consequence as Cincinnati did from the attempt of her brokers to break our banks. This is al ways the result the better class of community suffer most from these lawless outbreaks. ' Let other cities, and particularly ours, use every en deavor to avoid occurrences of these kinds. ' " jt5?"We understand the- property on which the Female Institute is located on Meridian street, just north of the circle, has been tendered to the United States for a. Court Room and Post office. This lot fronts on two streets and an ley and we believe is 120 feet sqaure, making just about ground enough, and of convenient arrangement. Next to the Haugh lot, this would be our choice for a court House, and understand it is favorably considered by the U. S authorities. . ' - : j3TWe received a communication from "A Citizen" after our paper for last week was on the press too late for publication or notice. As so long time has elapsed since the article he complains of appeared in the ' Dailies, we think it unecessary to publish; but there is one matter he mentions should be brought before this community, and especially the scribling portion, and that is the mania for newspaper cards, and having your name in print. In these days this is carried so far that it is- often ridiculous, and the larger portion are more subjects of ridicule, than serious and calm consideration. We copy so much as relates to this subject. 1 ' ' It appears that a perfect mania now exists for Xeivspaper Cards, and the most trifling matters must be brought before the public in this way. But let me ask what is all this Newspaper Card writing done for nothing else but to gain notoriety in some way or other. If persons would only learn to do unto others, that they would wish others to do unto them, better feelings, and a more christian deportment would govern the people.

' gjTThe following extract from a letter from this city to the Richmond Jeffersonian, corrects some statements made in that paper a few weeks i since. I I notice a correspondent of yours amed Truth

has been writing you some lies, mixed with agood deal of truth. It is true, as he says, that our bankers and brokers, generally charge 12 per cent, except Col. May's bank, and that this shaves instead of aiding mechanics. It is also true that the canal mills R of but little value because of the defective fate of the canal, and that the Starch Factory is ' sale or rent, on most reasonable terms, and is most sunerblv fitted ud for business; still the gleat mass of our manufacturing establishments, and we have a greater number than any other place in the State, are prosperous, and we annu ally have new ones added, not by our own cm zens, it is true, for they do nothing of the kind, but by mechanics from abroad attracteu nere, in spite of high prices for real estate, by the extra ordinary advantages of the location. . A Com pany from New York, f am informed have taken trie Barrel Factory. Uol. May is erecting new pork and beef packing establishment of a capacity to enable hi in to pack ju.uuu nogs ana 3000 cattle; Wm. Bright and others from the establishment of Bright & Lamsom's, Circleville, Dnin T understand are here to commence a lar.re agricultural implement manufactory, and Reedy & Watson have just commenced running a new brick flouring mill, witn nve run ot stone. So that von see. we still so ahead. As to our population, it is now, at the lowest calculation, 20,000 and I would like to bet on its being at 30.000 at the next census. 1860. We shall build from four to five hudrcd houses this year, dull as times arc said to be. Indianapolis will be the neatest city of the State. That matter is a "fixed fact," and cant be prevented nor helped. - Camp Meeting. There is a camp meeting now holding at Philadelphia; Hancock county, twelve miles east of the city. For the accom modation of those that want to attend, a special train will go out on the Central railroad to-morrow morning, at half past 8 o'clock, and return to this city . at 6 o'clock in the evening. . Fare 25 cents each way. , JE3?"It will be seen by a notice in another column that Dr. McLean's Female Seminary will open ori the first Monday in September. ' Parrents preparing to send their daughters to an institution of this kind, will find in this seminary a pleasant home, where their daughters are under the immediate care of the Dr.! and his family, and where their education will be thorough, with' as many of the accomplisments as may be desired. Peaks. Tomattoes. We are under obligations to' Mrs. Margaret Norwood for a basket of the finest pears we have seen in the state. They were all as large as a pint class, as yellow as gold, and most luscious to the taste. Also for a large tomatto a huge one tremendous in size, but the right kind for' the table. ' Many thanks. it3T"We are informed by a friend that W. D. Shepherd Esq., late of this city, has recently been promoted from a $1,400 clprkship in the 5th Auditors Office Washington to a $1,600 clerkship in the same office; This intelligence will doubtless be gratifying to Mr. Shepherd's numerous friends in Indiana. , ,, jfSTSee Werden & Chamberlain's advertisement of Agricultural Books in another column.

Express Company daily bring to this city, an average of 150 baskets of Peaches, and after the season is' fully opened, the number will be more' than doubled. One house in this city, J. & J. Bradshaw, have engaged one hundred baskets daily. Nearly all these peaches are from Kentucky. , , -f ' i Money in New York. The . New York Evening Post of Tuesday, contains the most flattering accounts of the money matters in the great emporium.., It says the bank loans have at length reached over one hundred million of dollars, and it will be a long time if ever they fall below that sum again. ' The strong position which these institutions have as; sumed, the favorable circumstances and more favorable prospects of the country, have created that confidence among the directors which necessarily leads to expansion. .' The tendency', of the foreign exchange market is downwards; bar gold is falling in value, and the amount of gold exported is weekly diminishing. The imports of this season will not be stimulated, for the dispo sition to contract still exists, and for every new account opened there appears to be three or four closed. . Less is owing abroad on credits or for S00ils tjn has been usual of late years The nquiuauon oi accounts ana inc. increase ot exports of produce will lead in a short time to a cessation of gold exports. . The federal government appears in the market again as a competitor for the purchase of United States stocks. It offers to buy the loans of 1856 at 103, besides interestthose of 1852 at 110, those of 1847 and '48 at 116, and the Texan loan at 106. The offer stands till the 30th November. The whole of the loan of 1856 was offered to be thus re-, deemed, and $1,300,000 of the others. , - ; Two Thousand Ladies Bathing at one Time.' The correspondent of the Baltimore Americansays: ' ' '',.''. The beach presented a scene to-day (Monday) of the most spirited and interesting character. The number of bathers exceeded that of 'any' preceeding day. Between 11 and 1 o'clock' there could not have been less than 4,000 in the' surf, fully one-half, as usual, being ladies, niany of whom can swim, and. one lady I saw floating on the surface of the water, riding over the swelling surf with the greatest ease imaginable A great number of ladies were unattended, but were fully as able to take care of themselves as the sterner sex. The decorum of the surf is' never violated, and any cine who would dare to insult or annoy a lady whilst bathing, would find himself surrounded in a moment by a host of avengers. The American character in this respect is displayed at Cape May to its fullest extent, and both on shore and among- the breakers the ; ladies.feel a greater freedom than they would at uome.

Seven Thunders; or the Mighty Crash of Europe's Royal and Papal Thrones, about to be cast down by the awful Judgments of God. By Rev. S. E. Davis. For sale by Stewart &, Bowes, Indianapolis. We have read this work with a good deal of interest, as it is an explanation of the prophecies of Daniel and Revelations, in relation to the kingdom that is to supercede the present European Monarchies. It is of particular interest to us, as it takes the same view, and gives nearly the same explanation to the passages alluded to, that the Rev. Mr. McClung took in the series of lectures he delivered here last winter although we do not think the work near so minute, or convincing, as the lectures were. The author fixes the time that the millennial reign will commence in the year 1866, or according to ShineaPs Chronology, in 1868. There is no doubt, in our mind, but some great event will take place about that time, that will change the governments and destinies of the whole world, as the present aspects of nations, independent of divine revelation, clearly indicates it. This is a subject that is agitating the christian mind all over the country, and we know of nothing in print that throws so much light on it, as the little work before us. We make the following extracts, of the " philosophical connection of the prophetic events, considered as accurate history of some of the leading features of our times." "All the events of history have a philosophical connection. No accident, strictly speaking, ever happened. ; All the events of the past, present, and future, are a connected whole, filling exactly the divine plan. Prophecy does not make the future. It only anticipates it gives

us glimpses ot some ot its prominent events, without pausing to fill up the picture whose outline it sketches without pausing to show us the smaller links by which those events are connect ed. The fact that her outlines are true, proves that the tilling up of the picture must be in keeping with those outlines. , ; If the prophetic events we have considered are events belonging to our times, as we think we have most conclusively proved, then their philo sophical connection, when exhibited, would be a history of some of the leading features of our times. It ihe exhibition ot a natural connection of these events very well describes our limes, this will be still stronger proof that we have not erred in concluding that we have identified our period in the several portions of prophecy we have considered. . The development of the steam power, as con sidered in Nahum 2, the much travel, rapid travel, and increase of knowledge, as set forth in Dan. 12:' 4 the spiritual development described in Isaiah 13, and Uev. 16, and the hard times, or time of trouble, in Isa. 8, Dan. 12, and Matt. 24, including the wars and rumors of wars, described in all the prophecies we have considered, togeth er' wilh other calamities, such as famine, pesti lence,' earthquakes, fires, railroad collisions, marine disasters, &c, &c, are the principal prophetic events we have considered. Is there any natural connection between these events, making it ap pear reasonable that they belong to some one not very long period, and to such a period as ours ? .Between the invention of the steam power, whose railroad exhibitions are so graphically described by Nahum, and the much and rapid travel spoken of by, Daniel, there certainly is a very natural connection. "Look at the emigration from one country to another to which the steam power has contribu ted. It has peopled our great West, this side and beyond the mountains, has caused the wilds ot Cahlornia and Australia suddenly to teem with human life, and is beginning to propel the wan dering Jew in his return to the holy land." "the martial character which prophecy as signs to the time of the end, when many should run to and fro, and knowledge should increase. very naturally follows as the consequence of such ncrease ot knowledge. Knowledge fixes opin ions, and fixed opinions decide courses of human action. The knowledge of this use has opened the eyes of a large portion of mankind to the many civil and ecclesiastical abuses under which they have long been sufferinrr. Whatever of freedom there is in the world, is better known now than formerly. The freedom of our republic is a fact which Fulton's" steam has whistled and printed almost everywhere. It has brought minions or the inhabitants ot the old world here to see it, and their returning- letters describing it, have borne to their friends in the old world, flam ing descriptions of it. The knowledge of our freedom carried thus to the people oi Europe, has very naturally created a discontent with their oppressive governments there. They per ceive that to be oppression now, which before they thought was a necessary evil. Thus the knowledge of American freedom has planted a powder plot under the thrones of the old world. "racts are stubborn things," and the existence of this republic has demonstrated to the inhabi tants of Europe, that with as good order and much more happiness, they can have a great deal more ireeaom man they now nave, and be gov ernea at a vastly less expense man ihey now are. This one truth, known in Europe, as it is beginning to be very well understood, creates among the people there a revolutionary spirit, threaten ing the ruin of their oppressive systems of government. Attempts at revolution have been made at different periods, but the God-appointed hour for . their full and final triumph had not come, and so they have partially, temporarily tailed, touch tailures, however, seem to be nec essary to precede full and final success. They are indeed not failures, but only the premonitory symptoms of ultimate success. What great undertaking ever succeeded with out some preceding, early, abortive attempts ? Providence approaches what it is about to do at first with ' small and apparently futile efforts. Then it tries again with still more of preparation, and fails again ! At length, schooled, as it were, to the Undertaking, it comes with a full prepara tion for its work, and then never fails to succeed. That is the way God works. He rarely takes any Sebastopol of evil, as the Tartar made us all believe the Allied forces had taken the Sebastopol of the Crimea. , By successive approaches, nd with more and more perfect preparations, he at length gives the word for the general assault. and wo then to the object of his attack. He poured out the sixth vial of his earlier attacks on the strong hold of European despotism in 1848, and even before that. These are the premonitory motions in that direction, which indicate what he intends ultimately fully to execute.. Such are the ways of rrovidence, and whoever lives to see the people of Europe rally for another effort for their freedom, will witness a more complete work ot this kind than they have ever seen before. God has written it in his word that he intends at certain time to destroy popery and royal tyrany. ihe preparations of his providence, which now seem to look to the fulfillment of that intention, are such as to render it probable that the

time of the end of these oppressive systems is the time in which we live." "Anolher source of danger to this system, is the democracy of Europe. Hitherto, the emigration to this country of European democrats, has proved a sort of safety valve to the revolutionary boiler of the European democracy. The present American movement seems likely to check this emigration somewhat, and will thus hasten the revolutionary crisis in Europe. The valve of its democratic boiler being suppressed, it will explode and burst up the whole superincumbent system of monarchy now weighing so heavily upon it. . American democracy is another source of danger to that system. It has a mighty storehouse of wrath treasured up against its dragon persecutors of Europe. Some difficulty will yet arise between this country and the western powers of Europe, that will unbar the doors of this storehouse of accumulated wrath, and let its flames flash into the faces of European monarchs and popes. If just then the Turkish keystone should drop out of its place, and the European, democratic, revolutionary boiler should burst, where then would be popery? where the monarchy of the west of Europe? Collapsed exploded burned up. The last great battle alone, will then remain the battle between Russian autocracy, and European and American democracy to be fought. That systems of government so directly opposite in their character, should not consent long o live together in peace, would be very natural, and the universal ascendency of freedom after the final collision of these two systems, would give us the sunrise of a new age. From what is now transpiring, all this seems natural to take place within a few years. The connection, then, between the development of the steam power, as predicted by Nahum, the increase of travel and knowledge predicted by Daniel, and the wars and the casting down of the thrones of royalty and ropery, as predicted by Daniel and John, and other proph

ecies quoted, is a philosophical one one entirely natural one whose uniting links appear in the history of our times. The time, then, in which prophecy has located these events, is our time." These are merely disconnected extracts we would recommend the book as worthy a careful perusal. jCSTThe Republican County Convention last Saturday nominated William Wallace as the candidate for County Clerk; John Tnffe, as candidate for county Auditor, and Asa B. Strong as the candidate for County Commissioner. The following are the resolutions adopted. Wheras, old lines and names are done away with, and new issues of vital importance to . the welfare of the country ate now before the people: and, whereas, time-honored principles and institutions have been attacked and overthrown, compromises violated, and the public . peace in the national territories destroyed; and, whereas, we are bound, both by self-respect and love of country, to maintain all of its institutions free, pure," and inviolate: and whereas, we are in favor of universal Temperance and fair Elections; . Therefore,' Resolved, That we, the People's Party of Marion county, do most cordially approve and endorse the platform of principles adopted at the People's Convention of the 13ih of July, 1855; feeling that the diffusion of Liberty, the universal spread of Temperance, and a national citizenship rest upon them. Resolved, That we invite honest men of all parties to unite with us in standing upon that platform, in defending its principles, and in carrying them into practice, believing, as we do, that they are just, true and eternal., : Resolved, That as law abiding and peace loving citizens, we deprecate incendiary publications and speeches, and will use all of our power to maintain good .order, good morals, ana1 good government, in spite of all attempts of dema gogues ana tneir deluded tools to destroy public tranquility. Resolved, That practical experiment has proved the prohibitory liquor law to be highly beneficial to our people, in saviag thousands of dollars of public expense, in emptying our jails, in checking vice, in nreservino- order, in restraining rrim anu in spreading peace ana nappiness where discomfort and sorrow prevailed. Resolved, That we recommend to the People's party of our county a thorough organization, and that to secure this we call upon them in their several townships to unite in Republican Clubs; and that public speakers be earnestly solicited to aitena and address the people. Resolved, That we unanimously endorse the nominations this day made; that we will heartily support them, and use all honorable efforts to secure their triumphant adoption by the people of Marion county. Resolved, That we recommend to the people of Marion county, William Wallace as candi date for County Clerk, John Taffe, as candidate for County Auditor, and Asa B. Strong, as candidate . for ' County Commissioner. That they are. true men, capable, and worthy of their hear--ty support. 1 a-.
