INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. D.
This day we have witnessed one of
those immense gatherings OF the People for
which the last Presidential campaign was
distinguished. Mr.. CLAY, in compliance
with an oil promise, this morning arrived
in our City. His intention to visit US at
this time had become generally known
throughout the State, and from IL o'clock
yesterday the people were seen pouring in
from sIl quarters. This morning line
of procession was formed at o o'clock, to
meet Mr.. CLAY and suite one mile east of
the city. The reception was most enlhu.
slastic, and doubtless proved to Mr.. CLAY
the affection that burns for him in the bo-
SONS Of the People Of Indiana.
The day was spent in the partaklng OF
a barbecue given by the people of Marion
county, and listening to the address OF
Mr.. CLAY, (who spoke about two hours, J
and Of Messrs. CrItepden and MetcaIle,
who each spoke at some length. All those
addresses were above any praise could
bestow upon them: that of Mr.. CLAY

FARMERS DAUGHTERS.

See that your children are well educated. Let
Your sons be instructed in the various branches of
useful learning, that they may become active and
worthy members of an enlightened community
incucate on their minds elevated sentiments and
liberal principles. Teach them that they should
not live for themselves only; that in this republic,
every man is pillar Of the State, and exerts an
influence in society, and has indispensable duties
to perform, to his family, his country, and his
God.
Let not the education of your daughters be neg
ected, for on the character ofonr women depends
the future fate of our country Teach them ear
y TO look upon the labors and profession of hus-
bandmen. with smiles and sympathy, for we all
well know, that in civilized communities, where
the influence Of the gentler sex is all powerful, as
il should be, no enterprise can succeed, or become
popular, without being cheered by the smiles and
sympathy ofwoman, the - flower of the human
species" Educate your daughters so that they
will make good farmers mireS, and if thus educa-
ted, they will reflect honor on any station, howev-
er exalted and be worthy to become the mothers
of freemen.

Do you see that young lady' said friend to US
a day or two ago, as he pointed to a delicate and
beautifully dressed young female who was passing
on the opposite side of the way.
We replied in the affirmative.
"She dosen't look much like a suicide, does
she-one who would deliberately commit sell-mur-
der !"
"Certainy not" we exclaimed.
"And yet" he added, she is numbering herself
slowly but surely every day. She is a fra deli
cate creure, and not particularly healthy at the
best of times. 1t is now damp cold, raw day,
and yet she ventures forth in thin light dress with
shoes, the soes of which are not as thick as half
dollar. Besides ths-see how she is corsetcd,-
She has laced herself so tina! she must breathe
with the greatest difficulty. Poor thing!-a few
years longer, aud she will be numbered among the
myriads who have gone down to the grave through
the agency of that terrible disease, consumption"

who, in yielding TO The requirements of barbarous
fashion are committing sei-nurder! How many

RETRIBUTION.

"Do you think I'd have shoe maker. or tai
lori La me! no, I'd rather live and die an old
maid than marry shoe maker or a tailor" We
remember well the evening that Miss Sally Snipes
made the above indignant disclaimer. We then
boarded with her mother in an eastern city. Mrs
Snipes. the mother of Sally, in her youth, was un-
fortunately cursed with large share ofgood looks
and very little good sense. She had one idea in
her mind which is explained by what the mass of
fashionable folks call gentiiHy. She INDUCED
this one idea 10 such an extent that it soon left
her minus husband. The poor man died of
broken heart, leaving MIS- Snipes and an only
daughter to cultivate their notions of geniili, as
best suited their hunor. The evening in cues
ton was cold stormy night, and the boarders, six
in number, all mechanics, were gathered around
the stove in conversation, and as Miss Sally hon
ored the group with her presence, love and matri-
inony contributed to the Chi chat Of the evening

And SO they made him Justice Of the Peace
Well, once upon time

With perplexing difference to bore him.
The Frenchman's crime
Was simply cOnlTvince Of finance,
Which made the Spaniard in passion dance.

With which the Spanard said he tried to diddle,

For learned pigs, us well us men are made for

But then the Spaniard sworo
That his fat pig was taught queer chassss,
BY which it broke the pen and wallz'd away,
And what is more,
He swOre the Frenchman had secured the pig,
lnstructing it in IL Swartwouer's jig!
The fiddler stated

And so the two kept swearing at each other
Until the Dutch Judge got into bother.
Against the ditldler
Six witnesses emphatically swore
And what was curious, as many more
Swore for the Colder!
This puzzled the Dutch Justice in SO much
That he swore "Ihunder' in the best Of Dutch,

And which was right and which was in the wrorl

Exclaimed the Judge
"Donner and bHt:cRi listen to de law.
