Mr.. Jones, the Wing candidate for Governor in
Tennessee, rows Gov. Polk up Salt River, when
ever they meet before The people. One Of the
arguments Of Gov. Polk is Of course the sereoiy-
ped cry of Federalism How dare you asked
Mr.. jones' 10 rise up before the people of Ten
nessec, 10000 Of n majority Of whom had pro.
nounced in favor of certain men and measures,
aud tell these people that they were Federulsts !?
How can you have the brass 10 say, that nineteen
States, giving minority of nearly $4,000 votes
for General Harrison, were federal, Swlile seven
little Slates, bare minority of whose legal votes
had decided in favor oil Martin Van Buren,, con-
stituie the Democracy of the country? ?" Certain-

THE CHILD AND BUTTERFLY.

THE CHILD AND BUTTERFLY.
ny THE AUTHOR OF sBIP AND SHORE.
! met between the April showers
A little blue eyed child,
The sweetest being mid the flowers,
Where thc was playing wild.
No ksrohief screened her from the sun,
Her neck was white and bale,
Except around il loosely hung
The ringlets of her hair.
There was gladness in her air,
A laughter in her eye,
Her eager hands went here and there,
As she was racing by.
Whittier SO fast my little one p
She made me no reply,
But chnttering TO herself, rHu or
To catch the butterfly.
The iluitering oauty coon she caught,
Its wings her quick breath famed,
A moment more, and all she sought
Lay lifeless in her hand.
70 giddy youth for pleasure run,
Through anxious hopes and fears-
Which ever leave them, soon az won,
To their regrets and tears.

La,o Sui interesting TO Farmers. The Buffalo
Republican of the 10th INST, states that a farmer
from one of the south towns Of Erie County, came
to that city with load of butter, which he offered
10 cell to a grocer. The grocer on learning that
the farmer asked one shilling per pound for his
butter by way of hanterng.hm and to'reduce Ills
price, said he bad 500 pounds he would sell for
seven cents per pound; whereupon the farmer
told him he would buy it OF that price. The gro
Ger asked him what he would put it in. Never
mind says the farmer, weigh it and lay it on the
Hoor-I'i. carry it away. But, says the grocer you
must take it al the same weight at which purch-
ased it. No, says the countryman will give you
seven cents per pound for your 5O5pounds, and
here is a tender of your money, lat the same time
exhibiting the coin But says the grocer, III not
sell it in that way Thea you refuse, saysthe far
mer, to fulfil the contract Certainly, says the
grocer, refuse to weigh the butter. The farmer
left the store, went home, and cited the grocer to
appear before justice OF the peace in the county
and recovered Judgment against him for the dit
ference between the price he agreed to pay and the
actual market value of butter heing about S24
The grocer appealed to the county court, where
The Judgment of The psIice of the peace was sns-
tancd, leaving the grocer 10 pay the farmer his
judgment, and,h attorney about $50 beside.
