ALL RIGHT. Twas just about a week ao 1 walked to SnaTteville through the snow, What took me there, IM like to know! Twas Sunday afternoon. It froze; The wind blew gales I blew my nose A hundred times, as I guppoose. At length I reached Squir Gubbin'sdoor , I knocked my hart and feet were sore; Come in! I soon was on the floor. 'Bout ten o'clock the fire shone bright; Sal hid the candles outer sight; The Squire he bid us each 'Good night!' We sot and both looked at the lire I thought about her dad, the Squire, And drew my cheer a little nigher. My heartbeat kinder fast, I swow! Then thinks says I, the time is now; I'll pop the question, anyhow! I never did the thing before, And, tho' the walk had made them sore, a ' I piled my knee-jmt3 on the floor! I spoke and said, says I, 'Dear Sal, You always was a handsome gal; Will you be mine? now say you shall! Sue blushed as she looked down at me, Aril then she laughed a low'teehee; 'New don't, deu get up! says she! I d;d. The logs kept burning bright. I don't know how we passed that night. But never mind the the thing's all right . Tennyson. To ly Sister. BT HARRT HOTD

I see thy form in visions bright, At the calm still hour of night, Then it soars far from my sight, Ah! too soon. In the twilight's mystic hour, As I pluck the fragrant flower, . Blooming in the woodland bower, I think of thee. In the morn's pale gentle light, In the holy hour of night When the stars are shining bright, I see thy face. In the murmur of the breeze, Sporting with the leafy breeze; In such happy hours as these I hear thy voice The Two Par tics-What they arc Their History. The Democratic Parti. This the p.irty that has guided tlia adminiftr.-ui on of the government of this country from its infinuy to its luauhooJ of i;nitic strength. It has a liistorv to which it points with pride; memories upon which it dwell with patriotic delimit. Under Jefferson, it overthrew a dispoiio alien and sdi:ion law of the elder Adams. Under Madison, it humbled British insolence by tho war of 1812. Under Jackson it crush ed the monster money power the United fctate9 13nk which was steadily undermining the liberties of the people. Under VanBuren, it established the Independent Treasury system, which lias saved us from defalcations, and more than all, give U3 a sound and staple basis for a curraney, which has enabled the government and country to pass through the late financial ensu without the loss and terrible mone tary derangeme U experienced in 1837 to 1340. Under Polk it took us gloriously through the Mexican War, which terminated S3 honorably and advantageous to .our government and people. Under Piarce and Buchanan, it hag maintained the dignity, honor and rights of the country against foreign aggression and territorial rebellion; and upheld the Independence of 1 CI. a f. . . ' 1. m me oiaies against sectional assaults. Today we are a great, a proud, a prosperous and a happy people thanks to the continued ascendency of the Democratic partyi It is a party of fixed principles. It holds to a strict construction of the Constitution, a faithful adherence to the provisions, maintenance of the rights of all the States, non-interferenee, as far as possible, with the personal rights and liberties of tho people; holding that that government is best which governs least, and that the peodo it for him; and holding too progressive removal of governmental' restraints aa the peaple advance in knowledge. Its the party of liberal feeling, liberal sentiments, and of generous humanity. . Tin Republican party. This is a party of a day mushroom in growth, mushroom ia decay. It has reached its acme, and is becoming rotten: its end is not far off. It has no principles. It points the people to memories in the past, to no hopes in - the future. The most that can b- Raid of it is that it originated in Philadelphia, out of the fag ends of all other parties, with the ideas of Congressional intervention, a denial of the doctrine of popular sovereignty. It has projected the Maine law, ran Fremont for the Presidency on a sectionalism, virtually separating the, Northern from the Southern States of the Union: lias marauded upon Kansas to her ruin, and lived by shrieking, over its miseries nersell produced. , What else the. Republican party has done or Dronoses to, do, some body" that knows must tell. Äffte Sentinel. ; 3THow often men mistake the love of their own opinions for the lve of truth.

A Georgia Layer1 Plea upon an indictment Tor Duelling. 'May it please tha court, I arise in defence of lacerated Justice; she i3 bleeding in every pore, and it is high lime that the political Doctors, clothed in the consecrated folds of the legal wordrobe, were administering the pungent acid of Justice to those who have dared to hurl the' brickbats of insolence against her person, or with lancets of unequivocil impertinence to phlebotomize her pure and undefiled arteries. It is in this capacity that I now represent myself before this honorable court, with tho heaven-born desire, as I before intimated, of applying the healing balm of retribution to those who have, with such gasconading vilification, collected our vapor criminality which floated in our halcyon atmosphere, and thus brewed the storms of war and the whirlwind of strfe. which Ike the fermenting mushroom, no longer able to contain its own foul breath, has emptied forth, with.- all its incarcerating malignity, upon the devoted 'golgotha, of my calumniated client. I shall endeavor to track the gentleman of the prosecution along his serpentine sweep through the labyrinthian maze of fact and fiction. I feel like divesting this case of the facts, and giving it an abstract trial , on general principles. Timein its rapid quickstep ha3 wro't many mutations in the course of human

events, and modification jias made an untimely vision to this land of hog-wallow prairie, and broad horned cattle. Will the Court allow its stupendous mind to take a retrograding glance o'er the stubble field of the past, and indulge itself on the momentary ecstacy ii the Contemplation of the times when the chivalrous impulse of our nature were not ruthlessly dragged into blacksmith shop of legislation, to be manacled in the adamantine fetters of contracted views of public policy? Then were the limes when men sat at the helm, and who could safely pilot the canoe of State down the stream of time. But, now could one of the departed spirits oft hoso aged sires who surround the illuminated throne of tho great antemundane architect of this terrene sphere, look down from the toplofiical region of ecstatic falicity upon the terrestrial habitation of Adam's wayward race, how deformable would be presented to the mind's eye, when he would see but a scattering few tiying to raise the stand of political emancipation, and nail thereon the milk-while . banner of Justita. But I contend that it is in the centrifugal sphere of this Court's action, clothed as it i?, wth tho plenary powers of infinate jurisprudence to sweep from the atmosphere of its inrleuence this whirlwind of prosecution, which is roaming around the hoary temples of my sexagenarian client like the stormy car of Neptune rattling along its pathway of cloud. I contend that it is strictly within the administrative range of this Cour's cognizance, to move its bowels of compassion by an immediate appopriation of my .client's generous offer of tripe, and enrich the evil of society to. a fructifying regeneration of a more adolcscent'public opinion. When I gave to my mental vision a caste commensurate with the multiplicity of interest therein involved, when 1 regard myself as I now stand before this honorable Court, the trustee of my distinguished client, when I contemplate that in m-s resides the task of wiping the marks of Cain from his n-jble brow, and make it glow with a halo as radiant as tho. belly-guth of Saturn, I feel like I could "play on a harp of a thousand strings." I feel like I was standing on the summit of Mount Olympus before the iraortal Jupiter Tonans, and it rested on me to scatter to hypeborean regions, their individious clammer, to send the noble Tantalus to the dark abodes of Tartarus, there to endure enternal thirst tied fa3t to a pine sapling Hp deep in water. Well may my noble client wish he could sit on the tail of the American Eagle, and soar away to one of those warm bright isles that gem the oriental seas, where the nutmeg, the orange, and the persimmons grow where the passions of men, like the dilU cious sweets of those unplucked fruitscurdle into jelly with their own exuberance. 1 6hall not endeavor to make the , shuttlecock of eloquence weave into the. warping of this Court's judgment ths Ailing of sym pathy.

Thoughtless mortals are surrounded by in numerable dangers; which make it much more strange that they escape so long.than that they must perish suddenly at last.

Signing the Pledge. Rev. John Abbot, the sailor-preacher relates the following good story of one of his converts to temperance: Mr. Johnson, at, the close of a lecture, intimated that he must signtfie pledge in his own way,-' vhich he did in these words: I, William Johnson, pledge myself to drink no more intoxicating liquors for one year.

Before the year was quite gone, Mr. Johnson was asked by Mr. Abbott: 'Bill, ain't you going to resume the pledge?' Well, I don't know, Jack, but I will, I j have done pretty good so far; will you let rae sigu it again my uwu vroy ; 'Oh, yes, any way so that you will stop drinking rum.' 'He writes: I,William Johnson, sign this pledge for nine hundred and ninety-nine years, and if living at the end of that time, I intend to make out a lea3e for life.' A day or two after, Johnson went to see his old landlord, who eyed him as a hawk does a chicken. 'Ah. landlord whined Bill, accompa nied by several contortions of body, as if enduring the most excruciating lorment, 1 have such a lump on mysido.' 'That's because you have stopped drinking; you won't live two years longer at this rate.' If I commence drinking will the lump TQ awav : 'Tes; if you don't you will have just such a lump on the other side. Do you think so, landlord?' I know it? You'll have them on the arms, back, breast and head; you will be covered all over with lumps.' Well, may'bo I will," siid Bill. 'Come, Bill,' said the landlord, let's drink together, at. the same time pouring the red stuff from the decanter, inio the glass. 'No,' said Johnson, I've signed tho pled You havn't though; you ar a fool.' 'Yes, that old sailor coaxed so h rd I could not get off.' I wish the old rascal wa3 in Guinea said tho landlord; 'well how long do you go this time?' For nine hundred and ninety-nine years,' whispered Bill. Well, if I drink are you sure the lumps on my 6ide will go away.' Yes.' Well, I guess I wont drink; here's the lump,' continued Bill, holding up something with a huadred dollars in it; 'and I shall have more such lumps, and that's what I want Our Country. The greatest cataract in the worid is the Falls of Niagara, where the waters accumulate from the great upper Lakes, and form a river three quarters of a mile in width, whioh suddenly contracts and plunges over the rocks in two columns, to the depth of one hundred and eighty feet.

Alphabet of Proverbs. A gallon of produce is worth a pound of craft. Boasters are cousins to liars. Confessions of faults makes half amends. Denying a fault doubles it. Envy shoots at another and wounds itself. Foolish fear doubles danger. God reaches us good things by our own hands. He has hard work who has nothing to do. It costs more to revenge wrongs than to bear them. Knavery is the worst trade. Learning make3 a man fit company for himself. Modesty is a guard to virtue. Not to hear conscience is the way to silence it. One hour to day is worth two to-morrow. Proud looks make foul work in fair faces. Small faults indulged, are little thieves that let in greater. The boughs that bear mo3t hang lowest. Upright walking is sure walking. Virtue and happiness are mother and daughter. Wise men make more opportunities than they find. You never lose by doing a good action. Zeal without action is like tiro without light.

. What is the Family? It is a littlq empire. The father is the the sovereign. It is an absolute sovereignty, constituted in wisdom, and restrained by affection With this authority there is connected immense responsibility. No substitute can bo found for it. To the government thus constituted, unreserved obedience is required, that its ends may be fully answered The family is a School. The parent is the natural teacher. 'Hear, ye children, the instruction of your father Speak not of wealth, of legacies bequeathed. The best inheritance is the education of the soul for eternity. A family is a Society. In it are all the elements of social relations. Numbers, intellects, attachments, sympathies, tqmperament3,attraction of mind, moral pow er. Thus it is the very foundation of civil society, whose dignity, advancement, and prosperity in every form, depends upon the same qualities and conditions in the family. This is the only road to the perfection of the social state. The family is a Sanctuary. If on earth can be found a refuge from earth6 ills, toils, and calamities, it is here. To the man of business, jaded with cares; to the laborer, worn with toil; to the professional maa, the clerk, the politician; to the sailor, from the stormy wavo; to the soldier, from the hardy fight; to all who come from the battle of life, how refreshing to find one spot where the heart is sure of repose, undisturbed by a doubt that there every face beams with joyful emotion. Absurdities of Life. To 'ell a person from whom you solicit a loan of money that, you aie greatly in need of it. ' . To call a man - hospitable who indulges his vanity by displaying his silver ware to hi3 rich neighbor frequently, but who was never known to give a dinner to any one really in want of one. To stand in water up to your knees fishing for trout, when you can buy them in a clean, dry market. To be passionate in your family, and expect them to be good natured. To suppose the publisher of a Newspaper can buy paper, pay his journeymen, house-rent, buy fire-wood, pay his taxes, and support his family, without iver receiving the first "red cent" from those who receive the benefit of his labor. An Eloquent Extract. Generation afier genera'ion saya a fine writer, 'have felt as we feel now, and their lives were as active as our own. They passed away like a vapor, while Nature wore tho same aspect of beauty as when her Creator commanded her to be. -; The world will have the . same attractions for our children. Yet a little while end all will have happened. Tho throbbing huart will be stilled, and wo shall bs at rest. Our funeral will wind its way,: and the prayers will be said, and our friends will all return, and we shall be left in darkness and to the worm. And it may ba for a short time we shall be spoken of, but the things of life will creep in and our names will be forgotten.jDays will move on,aud laughter and sons; will be heard in ths room in which we dried; and the eye that then mourned for us will be dried and glisten with joy: and even our children will cease to think of us, and will not lisp our names. Treatment of Witnesses. The E.iglish lords of the Bench decided abuut a month ago, at Westminster, that it was a principle of common law that a counsellor, in questioning a witness, should address him in ordinary tones'and in the" language of respect; such as Is employed by one gentleman in conversation with another: that such lawyer ha3 no right to question the private business or moral character of a witness, any further than it 13 apparent they absolutely affect his reliability or touch the case. m hand; and that a witness is not bound to answer questions put to him in an insulting and bull-doggish manner, If, forced to answer by the couri, he "will have hi . rernedy-;a action, foe damages.; . . - vv ,ct J3T Dr.A Frankly;, ßajS: Pride .is '.as cruel a begff n3 Want, and a great deal raorl irfacyv Ayhen you , have bought one A, t A .

Fretting. . Fretting won't pay. On the contrary, it is always practised at a loss of time, strength, and temper, ending in the losg of happiness. We have read' an anecdote well calculated to show the folly of people fretting over their misfortunes. It told of a couple of farmers, whose pea-crops had failed because of the frost, or some other adverse influence.' One of them went out among his neighbors fretting, and insisting that he was 'the most unlucky creature in existence Some time afterwards, on visiting his unfortunate neighbor, and getting a glimpse of his garden, he exclaimed: . 'What a fine crop of peas you have! How is this, that you have a fine crop of peas this year and I have none? I thought your planting was all for naught like my own ' ' Precisely so,' said the other. 'But while you were fretting, I re-planted ray crop Fretting would not be so bad a habit, were its consequences confined to the fretter. But thy are not. Fretters are almost certain to make, their families, friends andneighbois unhappy. And so they become social nuisances, calling loudly for abatement. Remember this, ye fretters, and fret no more! ' '

A Strong Defence. There was a fellow in a certain neigh borhood in Arkansas, who was suspected of stealing sheep. A farmer who was ri ding through the woods one day, unob served by the fellow, saw him sneak up to a flock of sheep, and knock the largest one of them down, lhe farmer eiclaimed: 'Now, sir. I have got you.' ' You can not eot off; you are caught in the act What act?' indignantly inquired the thief. Why, stealing sheep was the prompt reply. 'Sir, you had better mind how you charge a respectable American citizen with such a crime a3 sheep stealing, re plied the gentleman who had such a fond ness for mutton. Now, will you deny that I saw you kill that sheep asked the farmer. No, sir was the answer: .'I did kill it, and I'd do it again under the circumstances. I'd kill any body's sheep that bites me as I am going peaceably along the road Prosperity Is not without many fears and disasters, and Adversity is not without comforts and hopes. We see in needle-work and embroideries, it is moro pleasing to have a lively work upon a sad and solemn ground than to have a dark and melancholy work upon a lightsome ground; judge, therefore, of the pleasure of the heart by the pleasure of the eye.. Certainly virtue is like precious odors, most fragrant when they are incensed or crushed; for prosperi ty doth be9t discover vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue.' Lord 1 Byron. How the Devil Lost. The following is to good to be lost. It conveys a moral to those who feel disposed to spread it in the newspaper line. A young man who ardently desired wealth was visited by his Satanic majesty, who tempted him to promise his soul for eternity, if he could be supplied with all the money he could use. The bargain was concludcd;; the' devil was to supply the money, and was at last to have his soul, unless the young man could spend more money than the devil could furnish. Years passed. away; man married, was extravagant in his living, built palaces, ' speculated widely; lost and gave away fortunes, and yet his coffers was always full. He turned politician, and bribed his way to fame and power without diminishing his pile' of gold. He bacame a' 'filibuster and fitted out ships and armies, but his banker honored all his drafts. He went to St. paul to live, and paid the U3ual rates of interest for all the money he could borrow but though the devil made wry faces when he came to pay bills, yet they were all paid. One expedient after anothe failed the devil counted the tirae only 2 years he must wait for the soul, and mocked the efforts of the dispairing man. One more trial was resolved upon the man started a newspaper! The devil growled at the bill the first quarter,- was savage in six mont's, melancholy in nine,and broke, 'dead borke' at the And of the, year. So tho newspaper went down, but tho soul was saved. Minnesota paper. A Sister's Influence, I was intoxicated ; but once said a young man to us the other day; I shall never forget it. Ia company with several jovial fellows, I was induced to drink too freely, and. by the timo I got home, I knew scarcely where I was, or what I was doing. I wa3 put to bad, and how long I laid there, I do not know; but when 1 awoke, my sister was sitting beside the bed engaged in sewing. The moment her eyes fell on my face, she burst into a flosd of tears, and wept as if her heart would break. . Overwhelmed . with shame for my conduct, I then formed a resolution that 1 never would beeome intoxicated again. 1 have adhered to it for some years, and I mean to keep it ' 11 l.i -t 1 -r Force of Kindness, In Lsedsville, N.
