their steps towards the setting sun.
Early in March the trees had not yet

and gloomy. These young men had
been from their youth trained as war

DEAR vs.. DEER.-The illinois Free
Trader tells this story of a fight on
the prairie:-"A large deer was dis.
covered from the window of n neat
!ntle cottage on the prairie, Il few
days since. by two Young ladies', as il
was passing from Bureau Timber to
Grove. They Immediately pur-
sued the noble animai with two small
dogs, and soon caught it. The COM
passion of the ladies', however, was
so much awakened IN seeing the
blood trirkIing from its ears, from
wounds inflicted BY the dogs. that
they drove them off. But the ant
mai, beins crazed with pain and fear,
very u~ngahantly reciprocated this
act of kindness by pitching at the
ladirs With all the fury OF Il hunted

ever. being strong enough TO bear the
ladies' but rot strong enough to bear
The deer. they succeeded in safely
reaching the fence, from which they
threw a rope over his hnrns. and, with
not 4 little difficulty, tied it in the
form in which ladies' usually tie their
head bands. One Of them went a.
head and led the deer, while the 9TH

they got To- the house. where they
fastened it Ia the fence, and were in
the act of "knncking it IN the head

From the Salesman.

We copy The following article upon the
"Repudialion of State Debts" from the
buffalo Advertiser" to shew not only
the opinion Of the world upon the injus-
tice OF the doctrine, but to show its anti
democratic tendencies.
The time has been when the law Of force
was the only law to which nations held
themselves amenable. But that day has
passed. The great moral leverage Of
public opinion has fortunately assumed its
place, and nations cannot now, with impu.
nifty, disregard the opinions Of the civil
zed world. They can no longer commit
acts Of oppression and wrong, and be ro-
ceived into the brotherhood Of nations
All just people will avoid them as lepro
sy and seek the first excuse to annihilate
nation whose government and policy
sanction spoliation upon the citizens Of
other nations.
II Mississippi could stand up against the
opinion Of the whole world, in her refusal
TO pay her public debt, Ler sisters Of the
union will not permit it to remain unpaid
and if reputation prevails, assumption
will be the inevitable consequence. With
assumption, comes large national debt
and high tariff, and we shall at last be
compelled to pay, no: only our own debts,
but 10 help Pennsylvania pay her $780,,
100000. The whole tariff interest are
already advocates of assumption, and the
degradation which reputation has brought
upon the whole union, furnishes their on.
ly argument in its favor. Let each State
pay its own debts, and every reason for
assumption falls to the ground. But the
non-indebtcd States had rather assume
and help pay ours, than submit to the de-
graduation and injury Of living in brother
hood with those who are guilty Of what
they, in common with the world, call q
dishonest and knavish refusal to pay a
Pecuniary obligation.
Democrats of Mississippi! the repudia.
tors are the real advocates Of assumption
and its odious brother, high protective
tariff. Their doctrine will inevitably
lead 10 this, if successful, and the thinking
and intelligent among them must see it.

We this week publish the address Of Dr. Sam

slider the address an able and talented argument
in favor of the payment Of the Bonds; and adm
raby interspcrsed with compliments to the re
pudiators. The manner in which the DR.. han.
dies the adoption of the "Vrginia and Kctucky
Resolutions" by the same Legislature that
brought forth reputation is very happy, and
shows clearly, what kind of men we have 70
rule over us. That like the praycrfu Parlia-
ment of Cromwell and all ingenious and amb.
tious scoundrels, they put no the semblance of
virtue, in order to perpetratc their rascally deeds
with more effect and safety. We are proud
that Mississippi has yet such men as Dr. Cart.
wright TO defend her honor and interest. The
Wings have no choice at the approaching cleo.
ton in voting for Representatives to Congress
It is true we cannot get men of our own cast
but 1t is far better to have honest and intelligent
democrats who will mantsin the honor of our
State than the foul Ministers of Reputation.
We can do ourselves no Injury by voting the
Bond Paying Ticket-when to refuse TO vote
would do us inconccyable injury-for thereby
we would secure the election ofthe Regulators.
And for the fair name of our State-for the mem.
DRY of the past, and hopes for the future glory
and prosperity of our county, let us unite in |

A Paragraph for Childrea.-And why
should We not give few lines space TO
something peculiarly for children9 Most
assuredly we see no reason against it,
A little boy, eight or nine years old, was
walking along Grand street the other
day, on an errand for his parents
Near at hand, under the shadow of an
awning, was an apple stand, kept by
poor woman, and covered with delicious
pears, apples and blackberries. The lit
tie boy thought he never had seen such
beautiful yellow apples, and he wondered
how they came to be ripe so early in the
season. Just at that moment, while the
woman was busted at the far corner Of
the stand with customer, one Of the
largest and plumpest of the apples rolled
from its pinnacle off on the walk, and
down into the clean, clear Croton water
in the gutter, and on, on, on, nearly two
rods from the stand. The apple-woman
did not see it--apparently nobody saw it
but the little boy.
Now he was very fond Of apples, and
he had no money, and it was plain that
he could easily take the prize, and who
should know anything about itt For
two full minutes the child stood on the
curb-stone, and many Earring impulses
agitated his little bosom. He could take
it,--but would it not be bitter to the taste
for hours after he had eaten it? No one
would see him, would the cheating
OF poor, old applewoman not be wretch
ed business? At last he stopped down
decidedly, picked up the fruit, and car
ried it back to it's owner.
Now this paragraph may be read by
many thousand children. We love them
all, and we ask them to stop one little
minute, and turn over in their own minds
what icere the boys thoughts as he walk
ed onward along Grand street, and what
y ould hare been his thoughts for the rest
Of the afternoon, il he had put tho apple
n his pocket.-M Y. Sun.

DEPARTURE OF MARSHAL. BERTRAND
This distinguished veteran loft our city
for the West last evening. A military
escort, embracing our whole force Of citi-
zen soldiery, accompanied him to the
wharf We never saw them look to more
advantage.
During Gen. Bertrand's brief sojourn
in New Orleans, our citizens, civil and
military, treated him with marked courte-
sy and respect. This was due to him
from a free and chivalrous people, both
on account Of the rare combination Of vr-
tues which make up his character, and
the peculiar position which he has filled
in the history Of the times. We were
therefore pleased to see so generous
manifestation of feeling evinced in the
behalf, from the day of his arrival to the
time oil his departure; for we hold that
where our respect or admiration is due,
'us more magnanimous to pay the debt
promptly and in full, than TO leave any
lnstalment owing.
We wish pleasure may attend on tho
Marshal in his tour through the country,
and that pleasant breezes may walt him
safely home to his beloved France.--Pic.

EFFECTS OF PERSEVERANCE NEVER DES-
rAIR.-The Providence Chronicle furnish
es the following account Of success from
untiring perseverance, morality, and
honest labor.
In the fall Of the year 1880, young
man just out Of his time landed at White
hail, New York, to seek employment as a
journeyman printer. lie was compare
lively poor and (riendless, and after three
months spent in seeking work, was about
ready to give up all hope Of success; but
resolving still TO persevere, he at! length
obtained employment as u journeyman a,
eight dollars por week, in the office of the
N. Y, Evangelist, weekly paper pub
lished in that city, He continued in that
situation till the spring of l842, when he
procured press and lew type, on cred
it, and opened a very small printing Of
flee TO print cards and circulars. He had
no sooner commenced business in this
small way, for himsesf, than the Cholera,
that awful scourge appeared in the city.
He was compelled, with heavy debt, to
close his office, and go to work as our.
neyman on the Evangelist, to procure
bread for his little family After few
months, when the Cholera had subsidized,
nothing daunted by so unpromising be.
ginning, the persevering young man re-
opened his little office, and obtained, oc
caslonally, a JOB or two Of work, His
first attempt at publicity was "the World
at one view," geographical chart, Of
which he published three or four thousand
copies. He found, however, that his chart
would not sell; he was using the sheets
for waste paper, when friend suggested
to him that he ought to advertise; that if
the sheet was known it would doubtless
meet with very large sale. Acting up
on this hint to advertise, to which so much
of his subsequent success is to be traced
he sent an advertisement to the New York
Sun, (then just started) headed, "rHE
WORLD FOR TWELVE AND HALF CENTS!!!"
This caption too well. His little office
was the next day crowded with custom
ers to buy the WORLD for the small sum
of twelv and half cents! This sheet
was followed by another called the "New
Family Receipt Book" which, by similar
efforts, met with similar success, and al
together about thirty thousand Of these
useful sheets were sold! Encouraged by
his success, he conceived an enterprise of
still greater importance-the publication
of three beautiful volumes entitled "Picto.
rial illustrations Of the Bible" Most oil
his friends dissuaded him from this ex.
Pensive undertaking, predicting failure
some Knocked, and others smiled; but in
vain. In the fall of 1910, the work APP
peared; and owing partly to its intrinsic
value, partly 10 the beauty o! its illus
trations and outside ppearance,l and part.
ly to its being so extensively advertised,
it met with an almost unprecedented pop
ulurity.
Not to extend this article too much,
the reader has already surmsed that this |
and persevering young jour.
