and become poor fool, whatever NAV be his

being eerly engaged in some active employ

Ter their sons, after quitting their schools, to
lounge about the public offices and taverns of
their place of residence, rather than cause

their own industry and energies, to seek their

This mid substance, he says, is doubtless pre-
eminent to all others hitherto in use, by nl-
parting immediate cure to the iniiamed and ir-
ritated surface; it rapidly, by the scabbing pro-
cess, in uniting with the discharge from the
abraded CUTS, almost nsananeously forms d
temporary semi transparent covering, thereby
assisting the natural functions i'll restoring the

The advantage becomes evident by stopping
a profuse discharge, and the tedious progress
of liberation. That remarkable substance

wheat, seems in this instance to assist the ra-
pid regeneration of the scarf skin, and thus pro-
tects the CUTS and reie mucosum. The sur

REPUTATION IN NEW YORK.

Col. Samuel Young, Loco Foco Secretar,

of the 2lst.

Secretary OF State, to the Hon. II. w. stronp
OF the Senate, which was read in that body
yesterday morning, will oe found in to-dayis

j 1t does not exceed, any of Col. Youno,s
lormer productions. The following para oranh

gency Secretary of State, cannot Gail To excite
the almost surprise:

impending over the State, which were created
by laws IN clear and direct hostility with the
plain provisions of the Constitulion.-These
laws were mil and rOid from their INCEPTION.
and cannot impose even shadow of n moral
obligation Tor the fulflment of their os,eisi-
bic demands. Whether the people of the
State will quietly bow their necks TO the woke
and pay apremium upon legislative wickedness
and encroachment, will be disclosed bv the
future And it the double curse of past pro-
h'gacy and past precedent can be fastened up-
ON them, they will then be meek enough to
bear without murmer the amplest strides of
unbridlcd tyranny"
The public stock which the Regency Sc
cretary oil State thus undertakes to rcputlia,e
amounts to upwards of FIVE MILLIONS OF

slate, call for prompt and emphatic rebuke

resolution censuring Mr. Young for these
sentiments was brought before the Legislature,

REVOLVING MURDER.
Il MAN EATEN BY DOCc

From the officers of the steamer Somerville.
which boat came into port yesterday morning.
we learn the particulars of most horrible
event which has recently taken place a, Cypress
Bend, Arkansas, lust above Columbia A man
by the name OF Stewart, residing there, was
some time since robbed of negro, by, as he
supposed. some wood-chopper of the vicinity.
ne circumstance, 1t seems, threw him into a
violent and uncomfortable rage, and, falling TO
catch the thief or recover his negro. he swore
that has dogs should eat the first ,cood-chopper
mar ecer again UeRtnred Upnn ms grou9d !
J Only few days since some poor wretch oil
wood-chopper stopped at Stewards door a.
bout nlght-faIl, requesting the shelter of the
roof till morning. Stewart admitted him. and
soon after let in upon the man parcel of saw
age young pups, securing the doors against
his egress. These however. the poor wood
chopper managed to keep at bay, upon which
Stewart turned in his full grown dogs urging
them TO rend and tear the unhappy man to
pieces. Driven to desperation, the poor wretch
Tor some time kept offeven these; when, like
very fiend in human form, Stewart rushed in
with his gun and shot down the stranger
The remainder of the story is almost too re-
voting Tor pen to write or eye to read. The
demon Stewart actually kept his oath! Ii is
! given to us in verltable relation that e'er life
was yet extinct the ravenous dogs few to their
horrid repast and tore the unfortunate man
limb from limb The frightful narrative al-
most sets belief at defiance.

RESOLUTION

lhere Is certainly nothing in man so po-
,entiai Tor veal or wo as firmness of purpose.
Resolution is almost omnlpotent. Sheridan
was at first timid and Obliged to sit down in
the midst ola speech. Convinced orand NOR
hhed at the cause of his total failure, he said
one day to lrend-"It is in me, and i, shall
come out" From that moment he rose and
shone, and triumphed in consumma,e elo-
quence. Here was true moral courage. And
IL was well observed by a Heather moralist,
that 1t Is not because things are difficult that
we dare not undertake them. Be thou bold
IN spirit. Indulge no doubts, for doubts are
traitors In the practical pursuit of our high
ann, let us never lose sight of 1t in the slight
est instance; for i. is more by disregard of
small things than by open and fragrant often
ces, that man comes short of excellence.

a LONG JOURNEY.

Some cyPhering genius has been engaged
IN some interesting calculations, based upon
the distance which the United States mails
travelled during 1912. The mails traversed
ll,644,593 miles on horseback, 1S,757,O36
miles in coaches, and a, 424,2S2 miles by rail
road and steamboat during the year ending
3Oth June, 1S42--to,al, 34,S25,99l miles, e.
quail to las voyages to the moon, or 1893
around the world. To 60 this distance would
have occupied locomotive for l54 years
running at the rate Of 30 miles an hour, night
and day, Sundays excepted. Quite journey
for any locomotive TO take.

A STRANGE Gal.

"Evcry thing is arranged for your wedding

yourself like man, Thomas''
The individual was young man seated in

with molasses. His only answer was sigh
accompanied with : food OF tears. The pa
rent started, and in an angry voice demanded
What objection can you have?' Susan is
handsome and wealthy, and married you mus,
be some time or other. Your mother and
were married, and it is my command that you
prepare for your nuptiais.'
Yes, finally sobbed Thomas, that's diff
