PLYMOUTH, INDJ.ANA, THURSDAY,

Darling Nelly Gray. There's a low green Talley on the old Kentucky shoi'e, There I've whiled many happy hours away; Sitting and a singing by the little cottage door, There liTed my darling Nelly Gray. CHORUS Oh, my poor Nelly Gray they have taken you away, And I'll never see my darling any more, I'm fitting by the river and a weeping all the day, For Bhe's gone from old Kentucky shore. When the moon had climed the mountain, and the stirs were shining too, Then I'd take may darling Nelly Gray, And we'd float down the river in my little canoe While my banjo sweetly I would play. One night I went to see her, but she'd gone far away, The white man bound her with his chain They have taken her to Georgia for to wear her life away, As she toils in the cotten and the cane. My canoe is under water and my banjo is unstrung I'm tired of living anv mors; My eyes shall look downward and my song shall be unsung, ll'I.M. I 1.1 TT..T it uiic i ska j (ii uia jzu nv ig bluTarcrfand I My eyes are are gcttin cannot see iy wayHark! there 's'somebody knocking at the door. Oh, I hear the angels calling and I see my Nelly Gray, Farewell to the Kentucky shore. Oli , my Nelly Gray, up in Heaven there they say They will never take yon from me any more; I'm coming, coming, coming as the angels clear the ray. Farewell to the old Kentucky shore. Return Soon. Wardered from your childhood's home, almost lost in the meshes of a busy world, do you ever recall the words that fell upon your listening ear a you bade adieu to the loved ones who lingered around at the parting, Return soon.' Do ycu feel that the yearning spirit of these syllables is nightly embodied in a prayer for your soul! and will you return? The boy that issued from the old farm gate a few years ago, perhaps will never return. That which he hat become will go with him for a season. But he carries with him the marks of a contact with life, in which he either defeats or is defeated. The hopes he entertained then, are either subdued by experience, or driven away forevsr; the rew&rd he sought may have eluded his grasp the sanguine temperament has grown more calculating. Return eoon!' is whispered in the ear of the lover, as he presses in silence the lips that utter it. It is the wish predominating in the hearts of those that remain, coined into words. Young Jlen. The world always expects much of yovng men. They constitute the vital energy of every community. Their influence is powerfully exerted; their voices are prompt and earnest; their hands are always, ready for execution, and the first to clear the way.' They should then bi useful; they should study to save their money for useful purposes, never forgetting themselves; and of their surplus means they should let the communities in which they dwell derive the benefit, for objects of benevolence and the general good, for public enterprises, for the support of the Chris tian religion, which ia still happily the rowning glory of our rountry; for the poor and destitute and distressed rho surround our daily pathway, and for other purposes whicn will carry their names along with them as benefactors and inValuable men. Why are you always happy, Aunt Millie?' asked little Jamie. Because everybody is good to me, Ja--Hfl t. - ' t- 1 1 A - mie. u ny isn i every uouy gwu iw uiy papa, aunty. Ho is always fretful: he says ererybody tries to cheat him; that makes everybody try to cheat and vex my papa, aunty? Aunty, vrere you always happy 9 No, my dear boy. But ten years ago I eft off speaking ill of anybody; and in stead, I tried to see excellence in people's character, and good in their conduct.Since that time all have treated me kindy. I think the same people are better than when I sawjnly their shady side. Their god ia more positive, than it was before I sought it; when I expected only evil of them. In bonne way, looking for it seemed to nurture the tendency to do good to others; as the sun, by shining on the cold dark ground makes it bright and warm, developing flowers and ripening fruit. I seek only good. Ought I not to behappji Jamie g3T Some of the fruits exhibited at the California State F.tir were extraordinary. Among them was a pear weighing tour pounds, an apple weighing two pounds three ounces, a bunch of grapes weighing four teen ' pounds, a peach measuring twelve and one-half, and a strawberry measuring six and a half inches. A New York farmer has tried the cultivation of wheat in hills two feet apart each way, like corn, and with great sue cess. He raised two or three plants to the hill, and obtained a crop to the i enor mous rate of two hundred Dushcia.

Firmness.

Firmness is that characteristic of mind which leads its possessor to adhere resolutely to the principles whih he adopts for his own, to be determined in pursuing that course which he marks out as being right for others. The want of self knowledge often leads men to substitute their own stubborn wills for decision of character. They have some desired object tu attain and they neither halt or vascilate, but pride themselves upon their perseverance, when if the real motive should manifest itself they would blush and have cause for deep humility. No high attainments can be matured willTout some decision of character. It is an old proverb, (I believe of Franklin's,) that a rolling stone gathers no moss,' so he whoso purposes are ever changing, acquires but little in the world of tho ght or world or things, that is eilher useful or ornamental. We all see and'dcplore the ill effects of a conservative spirit in public enactments. Scarcely less dtSXstrous aie the consequences of such a spirit in the private walks of life than ia the government of a nation. He who has the training of a child is weak and most cruel, who will be induced by its clamorous pleadings to grant a request which his own judgruont disapproves. They who would pass safely through a wilderness, beset on everyside by pitfalls, must choose the narrow paths of truth and righteousness, deviating neither to the right or left, Ist some false step should precipitate them into a gulf of endless ruin. Practical Jokixo.- A few days since,' writes an attorney, 'as I was sitting vith Brother D , in his office in Court square, a client came in and said: Squire , Wiggins, the livery man, shaved me dreadlully, yesterday, and I want to come up with him.' State your case, says D . Client: I asked him how much he would charge me for a horse and wagon to go to Delhi. He said one dollar and a half. I took the team, and when 1 came back, I paid him a dollar and half, and he said he wanted another dollar ard a half for coming back, and made me pay it.' D gave him some legal advice, which the Client immAdji.tr ffpjl on toiiows: 'Ho went to the stable keeper and said, What will you charge me for a horse and wagon logo to Salem?' Wiggins replied, 'rive dollars. 'Harness him up. Client went to Salem, came back by railroad, and went to the stable, saying, Here's your money. Where' my horse and wagon?' says Wiggins.' 'He is at Salem, I only hired him to go to Salem.' Shun Affectation. There is nothing more beautiful in the young than the simplicity of character. It is honest, frank and attractive. How different is Affectation! The simple minded are always natural. They are, at the 8ametime, original. The affected aie never natural. Be yourself, then young friend. To a'.tempt to be any one else, is worse than folly. But suppose you could succeed in imitating the greatest man that ever figured in history, would that make you any greater? By no means. You would always suffer in comparison with the imitated one, and be thought of only as the shadow of the substance the echo of a real sound the counterfeit of a pure coin. Let the fabric of your character, though never so humble, b at least natural. Avoid affecting the character of another, however great. Bui.d up your own. Be what God intended you to be yourself, and not somebody else. Shun Affectaton. Arab Provirbs. If your friend is made of honey do not eat him up. If you are in the land of the blind, be blind yourself. When you are at the anvil have patience, when you are at the hammer strike straight and well. He who can Lot take a hint, cannot comprehend a long explanation. Take counsel of one greater than yourself, and afterwards form your own opinion. - - JtT Senator Douglass has just made an unconditional transfer to the Trustees of the Chicago University of all the pro perty upon which the University is loca ted, Wiving all contingencies of the origi nal contract, and givinga clear title. S3T TTie President of tbs New Orleans Associated Press has issued a notice that strangers should keep away from New Orleans until there is a marked abatement of the fevdr, of which thsy will be' duly advised.'' The epidemic is now sustained by new comers. There is usually Athy most assurance where there is the most ignorance; those feel certain of . safety who have not Iigh enough to discover their danger.

OCTOBER 21, 1858.

Fatal Railroad Accidxst. About one o'clock yesterday afternoon as a grave train on the New Albany and Salem Rail road was passing through the cut south of the water station, between the city and the Junction, the engineer observed a man walking on the track. He immediately whistled the engine, but the man took no notice of it. Supposing that he would certainly get off the track he did not whistle down breaks and reverse the engine untill he haj nearly reached him. The engine struck him, knocking him down and dragging Lima distance of thirty yards, breaking his left leg, fracturing his 6kull rind otherwije shockingly mangling and blushing him. He wa3 brought to the city and Jived about six hours after the accident. He waa apparently about twtnty years of age. From papers found upon his person it was discovered that be was deaf. He had a pass over the Valley Rord to Attica, and it is suppose that he was going to the Junction to take the after noon train for that place. In reply to some written interrogations from Mr. Foster, of the New Albany and Salem railroad, who showed the unfortunate young man eveey attention! he said that his name was James Green that he lived in Crawfordsvillo, where his mother also resided. Lafayette Jour. ST'My motto through life has been work and Advertise.' In buiness, advertising is the true Philosopher's stone, that turns what ever it touches into gold. I have advertised much both in the weekly as well as in the daily papers. Joun Jacob Astor. John Jacob Astor was a business man and a millionalry. Some of our modern businesa men and would-be millionaires, choose altogether a different way to acquire renown nd riches.

Y. and occupy himself iu building an Air Ship, with a motive power of live hundred tons, with which he will attempt to cross the ocean, and is confident that he will land within twenty-five miles of any given point in Europe. m A Hanover paper tells the world that the 'silly prejudice against horse flesh' has altogeaiher vanished in Denmark and Northern Germany, and that in the city of Hanover alone, on the coast of Whitsunweek, about two thousand pounds of horse flesh were condemed. The number of horses slaughtered for eating in that city is between two and thiee hundred a year. It is asserted that many a man mairying now-a-days, marries a jjreat deal more than he bargains for.

Comparisons. It is better to be bitten with envy than by a mad dog. It is better to hug a pretty girl than a bare illusion. It is better to fall into fortune than to fill into the sea. It is easier to find a thousand reasons why men should differ ia opinion, than one why they should fight about it. Every man has his hobby horse, but it is not every one that is wll biited. Never consult your watch in company; it is a sign that time hangs heavy. What kind of a doctor would a duck make? A quack doctor. .

Multiply the flakes of snow by the hairs on the cows' tail, and divide the product by a turnip; then add a piece of chalk, multiply the whole by the town pump, and the remainder will be the answer. A man called in haste upon Dr. Abertheney, exclaiming, 'Sir, my boy has swallowed a mouse. 'Then, replied the doctor, 'tell your boy to swallow a cat. The young man who recently went on a wedding tour with an angel in book muslin, has returned with a scolding wife in hoops. , A man who has been to the Iowa gold mines, says: Three days explorations with the SDade had enabled him to discover several tons of exaggeration.' .

General Jefferson Davis, of Muausipsi, has been lately sojourning in the State of Maine, with manifest advantage to his physical and political condition. On the 3Qth ult. he attended an a?ricultual fair at Augusta, where he made a very aensioie speech. General Davis has heretofore been regarded at the North as one of the most piejudice and dangerous oiöoutnern public men. But if he has been so, it is evident the are of Maine has done him good, for the sentiments he uttered on that occasion could not well have been more patriotic and national, It would, doubt less, be advantageous if all our public men could frequently visit distant sections Of their common country, rrejuaices wouia thus be obliteratod. We look upon, the traveling facilities of the present day as amoung the most efficont bonds of union. The Albany Express has the following advertisemunt: Wanted an able-bodied man to hold my wifes tongue she and I being unable to Ml keep it quiet. Constant employment ww be given."

On a Sunday morning a lady called to her boy, who was tossing marbles on the side walk, to come in the house. 'Don't you know you should not be out there, ruy sou, said she. Go into the back yard if you want to play marbles; is is Sunday.' I will,' answered the boy, 4but ain't it Sunday in the bark yard, mother?' JfSrOn a late occasion, a private soldier in the French army called on the Emperor. The servant announced him to his Majesty. Let him come in, was the order.' The soldier entered, presented arms, and said to the Emperor: Do you remember having supped with me off roast potatoes?' O, is that you?' yes, I remember,' said the Emperor; 'and so you have come tu dine with me, have you?' RusLan, lay another cover on your table, fur this brave fellow.' . gain the soldier presented arms, and said: 'A grenadier of the Guards does not eat with laqueys.

Thank you, heartily. Long live the Emperor!' answered the soldier, and withdrew. At a Virginia praper meeting, the chorister being absent, the presiding elder, whose name was Jeeter, called upon one of the deacons and said, after reading a byran: Brother Moon, Will you raise a tune?' The deacon lifted up his voice, but, instead of singing at once; he inquired: Brother Jeeter, "What's the meter?' This being satisfactorily answered, Deacon Moon Pitched the tune.

The Eilcct of Advertising. The New York Tribune of the 7th, baa the following: But the most interesting problem is this: For some months past, notwithstanding that business and travel have been sadly depressed, the traffic of the Pennsylvania Railroad has been steadily increasing over all others. Its stock and bonds have sympathized in this prosperity, gradually rising in price. Now, much of this prosperity is due to a very simple expedient advertising. The Company have been advertising largely in New England, and per consequence, the cash receipts at the New York Office have increased CG per cent, since the advertising system was begun! The solid results of thia expenditure are now lealized tt the time they are most needed; thus proving conclusively that when business is dull is the best time to advertisa largely. What a hsäon thew facts ought te teach every man who is getting a living by dealing iu any way with the general public. JdT A shooting affray occurred at Jericho, Henry co., Ind., last week, in which Thomas Dodd was shot by a Mr. Watkins. Th parties had a difficulty several weeks ago concerning some squirrels. On Monday they had an altercation, Dodd chocking Watkins. The latter drew his revolver and fired into the air. This did not causo Dodd to loosen his hold. He then tired into the ground, and finally being unable te get rid of Dodd, shot him in the breast. Watkins was arrested and placed under the charge of two men. He escaped from their custody, fled across a field, jumped a fence, and fell into a ditch, breaking his arm. He was than arrested. It is thought that Dodd will die. The Art of Aliinkiii?. One of the best ways to improve your self in the art of thinking, is to think on some subject bafore you read upon it, and to observe in what manner it has occurred to the mind of some great roaster; you will then observe whether you have been too lash or too timid, what you have omitted, and in what ou have exceeded: and by this process you will soon catch the manner of viewing a question. It is right in study not only to think when any ii.iiiK.but fiom time to time review what has passed; dwell upon it, and b of thought voluntarily present themselves to your mind. An unnatural quarrel, which has probably resulted in the death of one of the parties, occurred last week in Bluffton, Indiana. Almon Case, proprietor of the Central Hotel, in that place, becoming ex asperated with his son, Scott Case, thro' some trifling disagreement, attempted to kill him with an axe, and was put in jail for 6afe-keeping. Procuring bail shortly after, he pursued his son with violent threats, when the latter, in self-defence, shot his father, the ball passing through he liver, and lodinsr near the back-bone. It is thought the wounded man cannot survive. A desperate affray occurred at the Fair in Tennessee on the 1 8th Inst, in which 12 or 15 were en gaged. Sandy Owen was killed, and hia b r o t he r dangerously wounded, tfen. J. uiiattie naa nis skull fractured, Samuel Cowan as mortally wounded, and others v ere seriously injured. A crreat prize fight for 5.000 dollars aside,between Morrisy and Hennen, is soon to take place in Canada. The sucrar cron of Lousiana. it is now said, will be far less than that of the past five years. The slave trade continues brisk at Havana, The American ship Haidee. of New York, recently landed at Havana 000 slaves. A street loafei4. at Columbus, Californisu who was cornpelled to go to work from necessity, recently went to the mines, and on the first day that he worked turned up a lump of gold that ne sola for fourteen thousand dollars.
