Then rush to that banner, where glad reemen rally ,,, Brave HARRISON banner; the gallant and true; That hal banner which floats over hiltop and valley The tame1gllded banner of Tippecanoe. Already the foes of the People are quailing,
 The Vampyres of Office turn pale with disrnay; And lyranny's panders their fate are bewaihng,
 And Sanders harsh voice sinks iD misses away. Then strike for your country, make demagogues We battle for freedom-the prize is in view Then haste /! with the millions who boldly assemble Beneath the broad banner of TIPPECANOE!
 Martin Van Buren was poor boy once D, And is very poor President now !

 LrGHTNrNG-A friend states the following circum- stances as having occurred under his knowledge some years ago. in one of the towns of Massachusetts Several men who had been at work in the field, took refuge from thunder shower in a covered wagon.- bolt of ofIightning fell upon tie wagon, tearing hole through the top, and killing apparently the man di rec'ly under. He was immediately laid upon the ground by his companions, his breast made bare md stream of water poured necessarily upon his stom- ach, from an elevation of five six feet. After this operation had been persevered in for hour or two, small signs of life were exhibited, and finally the man recovered the use of his faculties though never 60 perfectly as before Scarcely any case could ever occur where there would be less hope to stimulate ef4ort.-N. Y. Jour. Com.
 Revolutionary Army.-We find the following in an old Vermont paper: The number of regulars furnish ed to the revolutionary army were, by New England l47,441; by the Middle States 56,57l; by the South ern States 569T. It appears by the above that New England, consisting of New Hampshire, Massachu- sots, Rhode Island and Connecticut, furnished more troops for the defence of the country than the ohor nine States, by 3.s72. The number of troops fur nished by South Carolina was (, ,44s Massachusetts 67.9o7, Georgia 2,697, Connecticut, 3l,949!
 -Aphorism.-A dishonest boy will never make an honest man. When he grows up to manhood he may perhaps find it his interest to act honestly in his deal ngs but for all this he is knave at hear and would cheat secundem artem if it would further his own ends better than integrity. The boys the father of the man. This was said by Wordsworth and an nvariable true saying it is.
 The I'oad.-There is no animal more nofensive and useful than the toad. As a protector of young gs.den vegetables from worms his services are in- valuable. A neignuvi Q; ours gathers all these an- mals about his garden. and builds temporary burrows to which they may retire for protection under hot sun. The toad goes forth in the shade of the eve ming or when clouds the sun, and so exceeding ly quick is he in his operations, that the eye can scarcely detect him when he pounces upon his prey It is said that the toad if protected near cabbage garden will entirely clear this vegetable of the lice which are sometimes 30 troublesome.
 There is a period in young mans life, says the Montreal Transcript in which he ;s determined new CT 10 take an office, and in girls when she is deter mined never to marry The duration of both is about equal.

 "Old spon,an said L"-Mr Doxey, the officer em- ployed to take the census of Kings county. informs us that he met at the residence of Mrs Maria Stil- well, at Gravesend, coored woman at the advanc- ed age of one hundred and thirteen! She appeared to be in perfect health eats drinks and sleeps we'll She performs all her duties as domestic with acton ishing energy and activity. She says she can milk the cows as readily as she could hundred years ago
 Brooklyn Neps. SusPIcIoUs-A young man named Geo. F. Kinney died recently at Boston, and wns buried with militia " honors His sudden death gave rise to suspicion he was disnterred, and arsenic found in his stomach His wife, it appears, was the widow of the Rev. MT. Freeman, of Lowell, who died in the same manner, having been taken i'll in the pulpit. MT. Freeman's remains were also disntered, and confirm the suspi- cions as to his death. Mrs Kinney has disappeared. She is said to be woman of great personal beauty. One of the New.Y York papers. short time since, had the names of "POOr f LOusie," on its subscrip- ton books.
