foftn'.. THE BIJIEDEH DEATH, There is a builder, whose name is Death, A fearful one I ween; He builds the frail walls with a breath, And blood’s the cement between. “Can I not make them look stroug?” saith he, “And save the owners’ gold; While tho dividend fat will be sweet to me, Whether paid by the young o*the old.” He gazed at tho walls with laughing eyes; He kissed the death-damp stones; Tt was for the Lords of Enterprise, So he worked in the blood and bones. “My Lords wish it cheaply built, they say,” The Builder laughed in glee; “And I’ll build so cheap that some day, A sorrowful sight they will see “They shall all toil there day and night, Confiding in my care, But the world shall behold a fearful sight, When my villainy is laid bare.” Then the mother will learn in tears and pain, ! Her sole Bupport is gone; And the gray sire’s curse will rise in vain, 1 Except to the Judgment Throne. O, but Charity's mite will heal the wrong, The Builder did that day; And the Martyr’s blooa will not linger long, For gold will wash it away.

glisttlkneous. Post Office Clerk and Editor Arrested. — The Indianapolis Sentinel says: “On last Friday Special Agent William Garver, had deposited in the mail en route for Marshall, Illinois, several money letters. Tho post office at Marshall had long been suspected, and the agent, at a late hour on Friday night, secreted himself behind the office, and through the windows discovered Joseph Littleton, a clerk in the office, and proprietor of a newspaper called the Illinoisan, in the act of rifling letters. The next morning he was arrested and taken before a Justice of the Peace in Marshall, and held to bail for his appearance at tho next term of the District Court for Southern Illinois.” 03-Dr. J ohnjson made a large hole and a small one in the door of his room for his two cats. "What have you two Holes for?” asked a j friend.

“Why, the largo one is fAr the large cat, and the small one for the small cat.” “Why, one hole would have answered both.” “Ah! would it! How is the big‘cat to get through the little hole?” asked the astute . doctor. “She can’t. But the little cat can get through the large hole.” “Egad! I never thought of that.” 03" The Lyons (Iowa) Mirror of tho 19th irist., eays: “A man by the name of Peters wa3 frozen to death on the road to Elk River one day during the last, cold ‘snap.’ His team was unhitched and returned home alone nncl he was found dead in his sleigh. A Mr. Jordan was also found in the road nearTeed’s Grove frozen to death, a few days after, lie had apparently got out of his sleigh for the purpose of wanning himself by walking, and dropped down benumed. Ilia team turned out by the fence a short distance from him, where it was found.”

OGrOn the recent, visit of the Tennessee j Legislature to Columbus, Ohio, one of them, ; after talking about an hour with one of the Ohio members, arid expressing heartily concurrence with his Union sentiments, desired to be introduced “to some of tho Black Republicans.” Tho gentleman from Ohio replied that “hc_\ was about as black as they generally made ’em.” Tho Tennesseean remarked that Jie “could’t fool him that way,” but changed the subject. population of Indiana is-about 1,-j 250,000. Indianapolis, the largest town in i the State claims a population of thirty j thousand. The Indianapolis Journal says that “the Northern Indiana papers, without exception so far as we have noticed are warmly sup- ' porting Mr. DeMotte, of Porter, for Reporter W e are assured that he is a young man of unusual talents, thoroughly qualified for the office he seeks,and is a hard working thorough going Republican.”

A Divorce Case. —Pending the discussion on a hill granting a divorce in the Nebraska Legislature, one of the members related an j instance of sharp practice of a coupleU residents in that territory. They applied to the Legislature and obtained a divorce, and immediately the man and his wife pre-empted one hundred and sixty acres of land apiece, and having proved their title thereto, were married the next day, after securing one hundred and sixty acres of land apiece by the operation. , s A Word on the Other Side —The Richmond Enquirer abandons its hobby of \ non-intercourse with the North, and is advsrtising itself in Northern papers as an ex- > celent medium for Northern business men to advertise their wares in at the South. And the Boston Pilot, the Roman Catholic organ in this country, after rehersing at length the recent persecution of Powers and Crangle, warns the South to be careful how it treats Irishmen, or sho may lose those in the North 1 who hav« hitherto been her warmest friends.

I03”Hon John M. Botts has lately written a letter, glowing with his characteristic fire, □Dd full of just and patriotic sentiments, on federal politics. He is in favor of suitable protection for home industry, oud is opposed to the introduction of Slavery into free terriiories, by national legislation or by force of arms. He stands, in this respect, precisely on the platform ol Henry day, if not the entire Republican paity ol the nation. Fitting Amendment.— The Democratic members of the Minnesota Legislature, under the delusive hope of making political capital out of the John Brown raid, introduced resolutions denouncing that act in appropriate terms. The Republicans amended I the resolution by adding a severe .- •buke of | the disunion Democratic orators in Congress, j In this form the resolutions passed, to the great chagrin of the “servile” Democracy.

Trial os Stephens and Hazlett. —The I Legislature of Virginia having authorized a special term ot the Circuit Court for the couty of Jefferson, Judge 'Parker has directed notice to he given that the term will be commenced on the first day of February next. It is understood that Stephens and Hazlett, two of the Harper’s Ferry conspirators, will then be tried. «..«•— 03" W. S. Bailey, proprietor and publisher of the j Free South, at Newport, Ky., has commenced suit agains the parties engaged in the destruction of his newspaper press and printing apparatus, on the 29th of October last, laying his damages at $113,000. The New Issue. —/The Democrat have thrust two new issues into the Presidential canvass. Dissolution of the Union if a Republican President is elect, and a Slave j Code for the Territories, if a Democrat is ! chosen. ’ !
