close that Agnes feared he must have heard all
that had passed; but anxious to spare his feel
ings if he had not done so, she turned her blush
ing face to him, saying, "My cousin does not
feel well enough; will you accept me for your
queen Z" Willingly, joyfully," exclaimed the
boy, and oitwas arranged. Their little majesties
danced together the whole evening; and ere the
regal characters were abandoned, Harry told
Agnes that he should never forget his gentle
queen, and she allowed him to retain sprig Of
myrtle which fell from her nosegay.
Years passed on, and the Lady Julia, and her
cousin Agnes, had been admired deputantes al
London drawing room Harry Talbot had been
long lost sight of; and when, at the close of
London season, the cousins returned 10 their
country residence, and were invited to grace he
ball TO be given by the High Sheriff, who had
but lately taken possession OF large estate in
the county, neither of them expected TO be re-
minded OF their ,welfthnight adventures Lady
Julia, whose vanity had not diminished with the
lapse OF years, made no doubt of being the lady
selected 10 open the ball--indeed, her fathers
rank rendered this expectation 10 be more than
probable; and with many supercilious doubts on
the part Of her dyship, respecting what nigh,
be this Sheriff's manners and appearance, she
and her party arrived. A usual, murniur Of
admiration was excited by her beauty as she ad-
vanced, on hal fathers arm, to the upper part of
VI III p'ii-iOoiiI. n tull, HuuuSOtuC yOuuS Hluu
approached TO pay his respects; it was the
Sh riff, but not 10 Lady Julia did he profier his
hand. After bowing 10 her, he passed on TO her
cousin Agnes of whom he respectfully asked
Will you once mo e be my queen ?"-and led
her to The dance.
MY readers will have guessed that the High
Sheriff was no other than Lady Julia's fright Of
former days, who had changed his name on
coming to the property Of which he was now
master. The ball Of childish days was referred
to; the bit of myrtle spoken Of was still cher
| ished memorial; in Short the king and queen Of
childish hours soon became partners for life and
il is more than possible that their great grand
| children may, at this moment, be looking for
ward to night of reveiry similar to the one
which led to their acquaintance; in the fulfil
ment OF which anticipation we wish them the
full enjoyment of mirih and pleasure belonging
to the greatest juvenile festival of the year

LOCOFOCOISM IN NEW JERSEY.
TRENToN. Feb. o. I91A


We had beautiful exhibition here yesterday
of the divisions and subdivisions Of Locofocosn,,
as demonstrated at their grand State Convention
held for the purpose of appointing delegates to
their Baltimore Convention.
The "Old Hunkers," l. e. the Van Buren, men,
carried the day throughout
Gen. Carrot D. Wall, the head and front of the
odd Hunkers," was President of the Conven-
ton.
They had some delightful scenes of sparring,
and broke up in regular quarrel between Gen.
Wall, President, and the reputed editor and pub
Usher of tho Emporium, the Tyler organ OF this
State. When the usual motion wasmade to publish
the proceedings of the Convention in all the
" Democratic, papers of the State, the President
asked if it was considered that the Emporium was
a Democratic paper. Some one answered yes
Gen. Wall replied that he did not so consider it
upon which it's publisher mounted table and
made violent attack on the President of tho
Convention, and the whole broke up in com
plete row, in the true Locofoco STYLE
During the proceedings, resolution was Offer
ed to instruct the delegates to Baltimore to vote
for Col Johnson for Presidcnt--and amid much
sparring and several attempts to choak the mover
OFT by motions to adjourn, &c, it was voted down.
lie again offered it, and more confusion ensued.
The New York Van Buren, plan was insisted
on and carried, that tho Convention should an
point the whole ssven delegates, instead of APP
pointing the two Senatorial delegates and leaving
to the People Of each district to appoint one in
their meeting at home. After the Hunkers had
carried their point, protest was presented from
west Jersey, and other strong demonstrations
were made. I
For further particulars refer you to the New
Jersey State Gazette. Yours, &c, R. f. III.

KNowLEDGE.-There are in knowledge these
two excellencies; first, that it offers to every
man, the most selfish and the most exalted his
peculiar inducements to do good. 1t says to the
former, Serve mankind, and you serve your
SELF" to the latter, In choosing the best means
to secure yonr own happiness, you will have the
sublime inducement of promoting the happiness
Of mankind" The second excellence of knowl-
edge is, that even the selfish man, when he has
once begun TO love virtue from little motives,
loses the motive as he increases the love, and at
last worships the Deity; where before he only
coveted gold upon its altar.-E. l.. Bul,uer.

The Plebean has letter from Washington,
announcing with exultaton great meeting Of the
Locofoco Members of Congress on Wednesday
evening, wherein it was resolved, LIST, That Mar
tin Van Buren, should be their candidate for next
President; I'd, That he is bound to be elected
We suspect that the pinch is entirely in the heel
OF this matter. Certainly if Martin is bound to
elected, we apprehend he is bound for more than
ne can meet, and had better call together his
creditors at once. At this meeting, so the PIE
belan says, an Executive Committee was appoint,
ed, to operate exclusively on the Presidential
contest, and
"a large sum Of MONEY subscribed to eelghse As
public on these vario,S questions" (TariH Sc.)
Very good; come on with your money, your
documents and whatever you have. We make
no outcry about it, and are willing you should
raise and spend as much as you honestly can
But what hubbub this Plebeian would have
rasled If the word had been that the Wings had
raised sum Of money for like purposes.-M Y.

THE DUrY OF PARENrs.-The last duty Of
parents to their children is that Of giving them
an education suitable to their station in life; a
duty pointed out by reason and far the greatest
importance of any. For as PufTendorf very just
ly observes, it is not easy to imagine or allow,
that parent has conferred any cons derable BEN
eft on his child by bringing him into the world,
if he afterwards entirely neglects his culture and
education, and suffers him to grow up like a
beast, to lead life useless to others and shame
tul to hmself-J. Blackstone

BEAuTY-Beauty has SO many charms, one
knows not how to speak against it; and when it
happens that graceful figure is the habtation Of
virtuous soul, when the beauty of the face
speaks out the modesty and humility Of the mind,
and the business of the proportion raises our
thoughts up to the heart and wisdom of the great
Creator, something may be allowed it and some
thing to the establishment which sets it off and
yet when the whole apology is read, it will be
found at last, that beauty, like truth, never is go
glorious as when it goes the plainest-Sterne's
Seasons.

10 BRIGHTEN A LocoFoco-Take notice of
the formation of Clay Club and I.ocofoco ac-
acknowledgement of the unpopularity Of Van Buren,
mix these with Van Buren's letter against thu,
principles and detail Of the present Tariff; snake
them well together; and when the patient turns
up the white OF his eyes, and becomes uneasy, adj
minister the whole mixture at dose, and lock
him up in room with a portrait Of Clay, and a
statement of the result of the election Of l04O.-
tie will not recover until after the Inauguration
of Harry of the West as President in l645.

MISCELL A N E GU S.
From the New York Tribune. |
HENRY CLAY.
BY MRS. J. W. MERCER,

BY MRS. J. w. MERCER.
He stands erect, nations pride,
With banner waving far and wide,
Whose folds unfurl in every breeze,
And records bear DER mount and seas,
Of one who, in his native land,
Cleans brightest midst its patriot band.
Who, in his country's glorious cause,
Defended oft her sacred laws,
And stood unscathed amid the fire
OF party strife, OF party ire,
Firm as the never-yielding rock,
Meath tempest storm or earthquakes shock.
Whose genius oft the breast inspires
With glowing, patriotic fires
Whose voice is as the lightning sent,
So brightly, purely eloquent;
Which from lis course Is ever driven
Though sweeping ea,t tn and brushing Heaven
He stands erect, the brave, the free,
The champion blest of liberty.
Should threatening clouds our sky o'erca.t,
Still will the brave one stem the blast;
still onward press without delay,
And win the goal shall HENRY CLAY.
Still onward press Our native land
Shall flourish meath his mighty hand,
ind signal blessings, broad and wide,
Shall crown our shore, on every side;
And every breeze shall wafi on high
That name which adverse storms defy.
On, onward still From age to age
Shall brightly CLEAN on history's page
That name which gilds our glorious West,
And fills with pride each patriots breast;
Which swells upon the rushing gale,
And far DER storms and tides prevail.
Star Of tie West! Columbia's pride!
Thy name is echoed far and wide,
And every hill and every stream
Beneath the day-god's glorious beam
Still watts on high and far away
The undying name of HENRY CLAY!

PREJUDIcE.-Prejudice may be considered as
a continual false medium of viewing things, for
prejudiced persons not only never speak WE'LL but
also never think well, of those whom they dislike,
and the whole character and conduct is consider
ed with an eye to that particular thing which Of
tends them.-ButIer.

HE GAINES CAsE.--A decision was made
few days ago in the Supreme Court of the United
States, on the case in which General Gaines and
his wife were plaintiffs, and the executors of
Daniel Clarke, of New Orleans, defendants. A
Washington correspondent Of the New York
Evening Post says that the points on which the
defendants appealed, have been decided against
them. One of the points has been decided abb
so!utely, and the two other points with quail
heatlon that requires the cause to 60 again be.
fore the Circuit Court, blu, which will not prob.
ably affect the result. This decision makes the
General and his lady the lord and mistress of an
immense property-some say $l5,00OOOO.

LocoFoCoIsM AND ABOLITION. locofoco paper
IN Ohio, speaking of the Liberty Convention at

ROYAL PLATE.-Every one, perhaps, is not
aware of the useless expenses to which the peo-
pie who exist under monarchial government
the tree government OF Great Britain, for instance
ARE exposed 1t is said that the bare plate at
Windsor Castle, is valued at $8,5OO,OOO. A sim
gle gold service of George the w., contains all
the utensils requisite to dine one hundred and thir-
~ guests. There is in this collection vessel
which once belonged to Charles XII. Of Sweden
another taken from the Spanish Armada and others
again were brought from from China, Burmah and
India. There are also thirty dozen gold plates,

Again. in the New England States,
as body, Mr.. Van Buren, was In mi.
nority of 3562i
In the FIVE Middle States, he was in
minority of 2l,sls;
In the seven Western States he was
in minority of = 67,76s
In the eight Southern States, he was
in minority of ls4l8.
In his own State, as we have seen. he was in
minority of 1928.
And this is the Globes man Of popularity!
This, " the magic of honest patriotism" as APP
preciated by the people, This the man who is
set above HENRY CLAY in the affections of the
nation! A man thus used up, driven in, cut off,
rejected, in three elections of four minority

below the popular strength which he exhibited
four years before, and this too, with all the
means and appliances for popular favor which
the entire control over the national administra-
tion and patronage conferred upon him!
Why did not the Globe display these truths to
It's readers, when it told of Mr.. Van Buren's in.
crease in 1910, Of 81 about 100000 votes lin fact
only 36l,390] over his election in 1885? Or
why did il not take the 26,575 votes of his 1885
majority and add them TO the 5O5,0l6 which
his opponent in 1910 received over the aggregate
vote which Mr.. Van Buren, received in 1886 .
showing that while he was adding 361 1870 votes
to his popular strength, his opponent added
53l,59l votes to the popular strength against
him! More than half million!
Or why did not the Globe turn to the vote of
MIR. Van Burens own State, and tell its readers,
that even there, in 1910, while he received
2l2,5l9 votes, his opponent received 225,S12;
showing Mr. Van Buren, to be in minority of
1928 votes in his own State?
Or why not tell them that the Democratic
candidate for Governor in New York, though
out of office and without patronage, in 1910. re-
SclVeu SlOI VOteS, Wnlle Mr. an Buren,. in
Office and with an immensely of patronage, COM

Now these are figures, and these are facts.
that too plainly tell, to leave ground for dis
pute, the measure and worth of the people's est.
mate of Mr. Van Buren's boosted ..mapic Of
honest patriotism"
Will the Globe wish to refer to Mr. Van
Buren's electoral vote in 1882 for evidence of his
popularity? True, he there received 1889 out Of
S94--a majority of A. But Jackson, on the
same ticket, received 72 majority; showing the
difference between popular and an unpopular
man, though on the same ticket. But if the
electoral vote had only followed the proportions
OF the popular vote, Van Buren,, as we have
seen, would not have been elected at all in 1899.
as he had less than majority by 1O5, 237 votes
But if the electoral vote be test of ponular.
ity, what story the election of 1910 tells of Mr..
Van Buren's popularity! While Harrison had
