A FEW WORDS ABOUT ELEoTIoNs.-FoI
several months past, no Congressional oI
State Elections have been held, and con-
sequently we have had little to say on the
subject. The political papers, on both
sides, are Of course growing about the go-
rlous victories achieved in the election Of
Supervisors and other local officers in va
rious placesi but we have found such cleo
tions heretofore 80 uncertain test Of the
actual strength of parties, that we place no
confidence in them.
We will say, however, that so far as
any thing can be inferred from these re-
suits, that the Wing cause is advancing.
We Of course speak of the "gcneral aver
age" Further we will say, that if the
spirit of the public meetings and conventions
held in different places throughout the coun
try, and if the tone Of the Wing press are
to be relied or, as test Of the general state
Of feeling among tire party on the subject
of the Presidency, no candidate was ever
more popular than Gen. Harrison.
The annual election in New Hampshire,
for State Officers took plhce yesterday. In
Connecticut and Rhode Island, it is held in
April. In Virginia, in April or May. The
results of these elections will be regarded
wi h some interest, as showing what effect
the nomination of Gen. Hlrrison is likely
to have upon the interests ofthe Wing par-
ty. The choice of Presidential Electors
takes place in November.-s.M Y. Jour. Of

THE YOUNG GREEK GIRL.

A young Greek girl, whose lover, smlt
ten with tho plague, was conveyed to the
temporary hospital at the Seven Towers, had
no sooher ascertained whether they had
carried him, than without saying word to
her parents, who would, as she, well knew
have opposed her design, she left her home,
and p esented herself at tile portal of the
injected fortress, as the nurse of The Young
Greek who had been received there ON the
previous day. In vain did the governor,
imagining from her youth, and the calm
and collected manner in which she offered
herself up an almost certain victim to the
pestIlence, that she was not aware Of her
danger, endcavor to dlssdade her from her
PROJECT. She was immovable: and ulti-
mntely permitted to approach the bedside
Of the dying sufferer.
Not tear, not murmer escape her,
as she took her place beside his pillow, and
entered upon her desperate office In the
paroxism of his madness, as the poison was
feeling upon his strength and graphing at
his brain, he spoke of her fondly-he talk
cd to her-streached forth his hands to
clasp her-and he thrust her from HIM as
he yelled out in his agony, and his limbs
wrlthed beneath the tortures of the passing
spasm.
And she bore it, all unshrinkingly; and
even amid her misery she felt thrill Of
J'y as she discovered that pain and mad
ness had alike failed to blot her image from
his memory. But there were moments less
cruel than these, in which reason resumed
her temporary sway, and the devoted girl
was pressed to the teverish bosom of her
fated lover, and in these--brief as they
were--she felt that she was overpaid for ali.
But the struggle even of youth and
strength against the most baneful of dis
eases, onld not last long. The patient ex.
pired in the arms of his devoted mistress,
and as he brcathed his last, bequehthed at
once to her his dying smile, and the foul
poison which was coursing through his
veins. She saw himla in his narrow grave,
and then she turned away with the conyic-
ton that she, too, was plague smltten.
She did not return to her home: but she
stood few PAGES from one of the comra-
MONS of her youth, and badc her bear to
her aged parents her blessing and her prayer;
this done she fled to the mountains, and
sought out solitary spot wherein to die.
None knew how long she fingered, for she
was never seen again IN life; but her body
was found few days afterwards beneath
ledge of earth, in doubled up position, as
though the last spasm had been bitter
one.
She had sacrificed herselfto sootho the
last hours of him whom she had loved, Pc
rshed alone, miserubly, in the wild soli-
tudc of the Asian hills and her almost
Roman virtue, has met with no other re-
cord than the brief one in which | have
here attempted to perpetuate the memory
Of her devotion and her fate.--.Uiss Pardoe

HuMBUo.-AThe word humbug' is grea,
word. Indeed 1t may be regarded as one
of the greatest words in the English Ian
guage, or any other language. 1t is con-
stantly in Use. 1t stands out in bold con-
splcuity from the vernacular which we
speak, and sustains distinguished reputa-
ton, being always upon some ones tongue.
No man goes to bed at night, without hav-
ing uttered it twenty times during the day.
1t Is wondrous in its potency to get tel-
low out of a scrape. You may say what
you like of any body you like, if you only
know low to use the word 'humbug.' IF
you don't like an actor, just call Lin u
'humbug,' and the thing is settled. lfyou
see theatrical performance. and would
speak disparagingly Of it, look wise and call
it 'humbug.' Ifyou are rejected by a
pretty girl, swear she is 'humbug' and
uses paint. Only say this, and you have
done enough; for the babbing world will
swell the lie into an amplitude of vice that
will perhaps break the humbug's' heart.
If you would damn book without reading
it, pronounce it 'humtug, an the au-
thor Of it ditto. Ifyou are no Judge ofmu-
sic, and would be severe ou the orchestra
of some theatre, it is 'humbug.' If, in
short, you would be severe on any thing,
or any body, slip in the word humbus,
and you have carried your point. But you
must never offer any explanation of the why
and wherefore. Remember that. If you
are ever asked 'Why thing is 'humbdg,
let your answer be brief and to the purpose
--as thus, 'Oh, because it is J. with the
Oh !! long drawn out in the enunciation,
as if it stuck in your throat, like Macbeth's
tamen.'--Mclp Orleans Sun.
