THE DYNG.-But the truth is, there belongs
to dweller on the borders of the kingdom OF
death, peculiar rank, peculiar worth, and the
man believes that the whispering of spirits from
the mysterious land reaches the ear which bows
itself to them---on this account the wise and the
strong of the earth listen silently, Ike disciples
and piously like little children, to the precepts
that are breathing forth from dying lips.

BENEFITS AND INJURIEs.--There needs no
greater subtiety 10 prove that both benefits and
injuries receive their value from the intention,
when even brutes themselves are able to decide
this question. Tread upon dog by chance, Or
put him 10 pain upon the dressing of a wounds
the one he passes by as an accident, and the 9th
er, in his fashion, he Acknowledges as kind
ness; but offer to strike at him, and though you
do him no hurt at all, he flies yet in the face Of
you, even for the mischief you barely meant 70
him.

"There was silence for the space Of consid-

she did not tell him that it was the first Of April

Miss A. was Justly celebrated for hel
fine conversational powers, and she entertained
Mr.. B very agrcoably indeed. His EN-,
barrassment passed off like a summers cloud, and
the sunshine Of the lady's brilliant eyes boamed
bright and beautiful before him. He was in a
steel trap! Time flew unheeded by--hours ap
peared but as moments 10 Our hero; and it was
not until 'twlight dows were falling" that the
old bachelor was aware of the length of his visit
For once in his life he felt "all oyerish," as Jon
athan Slick says, and began TO think that there
were "more things i'll heaven and earth, than
were dreamed Of in his philosophy" He told
the young lady round unyarnished tale OF his
bachelor lfe--a bachelors troublesand bache

this hint, like Othello, the Moor, did the ole
bachelor himself speak. His heart had beer

07-A great cry Las been raised by the feder-
al newspapers since the nomination of Col Polk
because he was defeated in his own state for
Governor at the last election. These worthless
have forgot, perhaps, that he was defeated at that
time, not by a majority, but plurality Of only
1888 out Of ll2,7Sl votes. Had the friends
of Mr.. Tyler not run candidate at that timo, he
undoubtedly would have been triumphantly cleo
ted. They have forgot, too, that Federal whg-
gerry has always been in majority Of ten or if
teen thousand in Tennessee. o yes, they have
forgot all these thngs
The alteration in the name of the Presidential
and Vice Presidential candidates, is remarkable
1t speaks for itself, and speaks truly:
Polk and Patriotism
Dallas and Democracy
Clay and Coonery-
Frelinghuysen and Federalism!

who were acquainted with the peculiarihes of
his character, took it into their heads to have
some sport at his expense on the first of April
last, " all FOOLS day." Judge B of the U.

and whenever he visited the city Of P, our
hero never failed to call upon him. The Judge
generally put up at the house of Mr.. A.,
who had very interesting and accomplished
daughter. The aforesaid wags, tappears, had ap-
priced Miss A. Of the trick they proposed
playing off, and having no particular aversion to
fun, she yielded her consent. On the morning

HAPPINESS earth can bear great de-
gree of happiness; can bear it for long without
its bringing with it a curse or disappointment.
1t IS in Stiffness and in retirement where this
good fortune blooms the best, and on that ac-
count The world knows little Of it, and has little
faith in it. But, thank God! it may be abun-
dainty found in all times and in all countries;
and it is---we whisper this to the blessed ones
in order that we may rejoice with thcm-it is Of
extremely rare occurrence when it happens in
actual life, as, for the sake of effect, it happens
IN books, that strong current of happiness car
ries along with it unhappness as in dragrope.

who is at the pains to propagate it, beholds with
much pity and fellow-feeling-that she is hear
tily sorry for il hopes in God, that it is not true;
however, as Archbishop TilIotson wittily OBJ
serves upon it, is resolved, in the mean time, TO
give the report her pass, that at least tmay have
fair play to take its fortune in the world--to be
believed or not, according to the charity into

THE SPEAKER AND MR.. Bolts.

PDfbASSf1SN
Mr.. Bolts contests the return of Mr.. Jone,
on the following grounds:
/. That Mr.. Jones' majority is made up o
Illegal p0teS. Mr. Jones, in reply to this, alleg-
es Illegal votes on The poll of Mr. Bottss Mr.
3. is confident that when all Illegal votes shall
have been stricken from each poll, his ma iority
over Jones will be from 5to 10 votes
2. That at the poll ofPoe's Greek in Gooch-
land Co. the Judges of the election were not
sworn. This by repeated decisions in Virgin
ia, is fatal to the poll held by them. Strike out
the vote taken here and Mr.. Bolts has a clear
majority.
That at the vote of Chesterfield Jones own
county, is entirely vitiated by non conformity
with the law. The law expressly requires that
the Sheriff shall appoint "ttoo or more Poll
Clerks" to keep independently the record OF
the voting. The Importance of this will be re-
allied when we consider that in Virginia there
Is no vote by Balot-every man declares "oy
word of mouth for whom he votes, and his
vote is recorded by the Poll Clerks, on whom
there is no check but each other. dishon-
est or careless Clerk in the hurry or heat of an
election, may set down fifty votes in the wrong
column, in the course of day, making one hun
bred difference in the result. There ought
clearly TO be two or more Poll Clerks, as the
law says there shall be, for each party should
cd, and the election kept entirely in the hands
of tho dominant party-MF. Jones receiving
SD majority-the largest ever given IN the
County.
On the three distinct grounds-either Of
them of Itself sufficient-Mr. Bolts demands
that the return Of MIR. Jones be annulled. But
he does no; want to occupy The seat himself
he will not, until it shall.be determined that he
is the choice of an in6sputable majority of the
voters of the District Should the House de-
eide in his favor, as it must unless it resolve to
trample on Law as well as Justice, he will in
stantly resign and appeal to the people of the
District.
But there is no hope Of any such issue. A
party which could elect to the Speakers Chair,
man whose seat was so contested will never
hesitate 10 keep himthere at whatever violence
TO Law and Right. Mr.. Cilmer may possibly
be unSeated, for he is Tyler Calhoun man, for
whom the majority care little; buS Jones is a
pet of the majority, and to unseat him would
prove that they have acted disgracefu,ly in
choosing him Speaker. The only use in con-
testing is to lay the facts before the people,

we have known for some time past about the

have had some most lovely days and nights, but
beyond this VIC know nothing, save rain, and It's
ofsprings mud, water, slash, slash, slash, all
chaos. The cotton crops must necessarily. be
very short. The fields are covered with what
has been torn BY mud and rain from the bowls.
The loss is incalculable. There is no promise
of any weather which would enable the farmer
to gather the remnant. Soon the stalks, cotton,
and all must be failed down, TO prepare for an
other crop,-the consequence of this must be,
that this country will not furnish more than
half crops. Cetton- must advance in price.
