| became acquainted with Count
Tously Wousky in Paris somewhere
in the year 1886. For some reason or
other, which | did not at first under
stand, he devoted himself chiefly to the
society of strangers, & most affected the
company Of the Americans At that
time there were several Of the fair daugh-
tiers of the Pilgrims in the gay metro
polls, few kniekerbockers, and at
least one descendent of the Hnguenot
race in the person of Miss - of
Charleston. In this circle Tousky
Wousky aspired to figure. He was a
tall, handsome fellow, who had seen
perhaps eight and twenty summers
with fire long and dark locks, to say
nothing of the most unexceptionabe
whiskers and imperial. He smiled en-
.chantingly, and the glinpses of his ivo-
ry-white teeth between their cushions
Of well-dried bristles were quite "kil-
ling" Altogether he was a most per-
sonal individual, waltzed charmingly,
.attitudinized beyond any dancer at the
opera-house, and, though he said moth
ing except in a sort Of mute challenge
TO man and woman to "look and adj
mire," he carried away more captive
hearts than any man ofhis day.
In French society the count was We
ry generally eschewed. Having no
apparent means of livelihood, and be-
ing understood to carry as little in his
pocket if possible as in his head, the
young men about town were somewhat
shy Of him, and he was considered not
better than protested gambler. This
would Of course never have been
known, had it not been that his famili-
arity was such with the few Americans
of wealth who visited Paris during the
winter of 1886, that he bod made four
teen distinct matrimonial proposals.

Pause and Reflect.

IF it be true that " Of the sweat Of thy face
onfv shalt thou eat bread - II il be true tina,
capi,al can legtima,ely be created by labor
oniu. iii, be true that money is accumulated
capital: Ifit be true that Banks of circula-
ton are intended only to increase this capital
60 to make money more plenty:" It en- 1t is
clear that they are contrary to the above ord''
nation Of Heaven-a fraud upon labor, and de-
fusion upon the world.
ITO make money by signing piece OF pa
per-" is to counterfeit the legitimate creation
of labor; and to attempt TO place Il upon equal
itv and to bring ii into competition UiM labor
and its productions. If the premises be true)
is impo,en,, impious and unjust.
Nor is there any natural limit TO the process
by which the quantity Of money or pecnn'ary
capital is increased when labor IS SET ASIDE
and La,u introduced to create. increase, or d.
mnish money. Paper money is therefore
without stable value; and in Tact without any,
except Just so far as 1t detracts from the value
of real money made by labor; or Is mace oy
law convertible into gold and silver. Alone,
paper money is absolutely worthless because II
costs nothing TO make IL. When 1t is conver'i-
BILE into gold and silver, 1t IS worth no more
than those metals; and when 1t is introduced
TO make money more plenty than II otherwise
would be when created 0lOHe ny idoo'' IL iot"
er depreciates the value Of that which labor
has already created, or dug out Of the bowels
of the earth with great toll, by increasing the
amount of the circulation beyond aohat 1t would
naturally be: or if not convertible into gold
and silver it is total loss.
| Banks of circulation may therefore be said to
be not only delusion. but fraud upon both
capital and labor, and are rs impious and as
impo,ent to create real money as the power as
cribed by Pagan mythology TO the fabled Mi
das, who turned ever thing he touched into gold
which power, if it could be realized by our
banks Of circulation, would make gold worth
less The inference from the whole, is, that
the God Of Heaven, whose law passeth not a
wav, has ordained that the legitimate measure
of value is labor, and that gold and silver, dug
| BY labor out Of the bowels Of the earth, are
worth only so much as il cost in labor 10 ac-
quire them. This was, and is, and eiernally
will be true. We have violated this ordination
| of Heaven and Of The Federal Constitution, and
are now seffering the consequences of eating the

The following is from an editor, once DEM
ocrat, then Harrison man, and now Tyler
man. He seems to have been let deep into
the secrets Of the whig party.
1--WE unbesiia.ingly announce, not indeed
without deliberate and full apprehension ct
the length and breadth Of our assertion. that
the wing party, proper, is forever broken. 1t
is down in the nation-and is rapidly falling
in this State. We do not mourn over its un-
happy fate-from FIRST to last it has been de-
cei,fnI. bigoted and reyengeful. Before the
election Of Gen. Harrison, it covered up its de-
formi,ies under cloak Of liberality. To ca.
jole the dear peoplesit assumed an honesty as
foreign to its real character. as fraud and per-
fdy are native to it. And now to deceive the
President, it wears a friendly aspect towards
him, and at the same time, by its very acts,
just plants dagger into the neart OF MS ad-
ministration.
Ultra federal whiggery never felt an emo
ton Of sympathy for the people, It's whole
policy is to faslen aristocratlc institutions up
on the country. Its whole energies are d'rec-
ted to the work Of Harvesting honest Industry
to the triumphal car of associated wealth, aud
thus leading captive the bone, slaew, muscle,
mind and heart Of free America. II never
seems to realize for moment that there IS
truth and reality in that fundamental principle
ofthe Declaration OF Independence. All men

STATE GOVERNMENTAL sign from Old
Des Moines."-At a barn raising in fancy
Town Prairie, on Wednesday last. at which
AZ men were present, the sense of the assem-
bly was taken in regard TO the formation OF
State Government, when it was found that
FORTY-THREE were in favor Of a Conyen-
ton and only four against it.
The farmers Of tie countryside tar payers
cannot be gulled into the belief that nothing's
to be gained by the organization OF State
Government, and that such change will bring
with it burthensome taxation, as the above a.
bundantly proves. Strengthened IN clrcum-
stances as many Of them are, we venture to
say that not one out of twenty would refuse to
pay fair tax for the privilege of voting at the
next Presidential election. as well as the Priv
ilege Of choosing their rulers at home. This
privilege, however, they will not have II Inc

advantages. They will vote understa"dlns'y.

WELCOME AND FAREWELL.
NV heart It beats Ito horse in haste!
Twas done almost before twas thought
The evening rocked the wild and waste:
NIGHT round the cliffs her veil had wrought.
The oak, a tow'ring giant there,
In garb of mist had sought the skies,
Where darkness from the wood did glare
With all her hundred jet-black eyes.
The moon, behind cloudy train,
Peeped through the haze with look OF fear;
On wings the winds did float amain,
And, awful, rustic in mine ear;
The night thousand monsters framed,
Yet fresh and gay my feelings flowed;
For in my veins what ardor famed,
And in my heart what passion glowed!
saw thee; gentle joy did glide
From thy bewiching gaze on nc;
My heart it ihrobb'd at thy fond side,
And heaved its every sigh for thee!
A zephyr with its rosy tress
Playd sound thy face IN that sweet spot;
And, gods for me thy tenderness =
hoped i'll deserved it not!
Yet. all when morn chased the night,
Ny heart was wrung by Farewelrs throe:
But in thy kiss, oh what delight!
Though in thine eyes such fearful wo!
Iwent-thou stoodst thy heart was moved /:
On me was fixed thy dewey sight,
Yet what delight to be beloved!
To love-ye gods !-oh, what delight!

penses of an economical State government
shonld be. AS it has been denied that the ex-
penses can be kept within this limit, we sub
nit a calculation which we rely upon TO sus-
tain the correctness Of our assumption. care
ful examination Of which we solicit from all
who are anxious to arrive at correct conclu-
sions. We entered upon this discussion with
a full determination to treat the people fairly.
and desire to do so now. Upon subject OF
such vast importance We would not deceive
them if we could, and could not if we would
Throughout, and from the beginning, we have,
addressed ourselves to the public Judgment.
Not so, however, with those who oppose a
convention. The very reverse has been 9he

ton calmly and exclusively in reference to Its
merit; but ar,fuly labor TO effect such oe-
cision as they desire by mixing itup with
politics. creating false issues, and using al
sorts of deceptive clap-,rap arguments: But
