"NOBODY Is THERE."

How often, when YOU are not in costume,
or look haggard for need Of a razor, you arc
pressed to "come in" under assurance that
nobody is there. How often does j, happen.
by the agency of use, that this same snobody'

cases is the husband or the wifc-s iobody. 'oer.
haps, to each other, but still a considerable
to you. The unshaven gentleman,
to his much annoyance and exceeding embar.
rassmen', is entrapped into rooms quite full Of
nobody and. like the incsu,ious Braddock,
falls by ambush. Always ask who nobody
is, when told that 'nobody's there and inquire
how many people constitute nobody in that
family Gaz.

A cracked.brained correspondent Of the o.

"refuse to trade with Whig manufacturer

acted on by those to whom llJfsss 1at's'

When it is recoIected that large fhajority of
the men of capital and industry in the nation
are Whgs, it is very easy to foresee which
party would soonest tire of such "proscriptlon
for opinions sake" We have no tear OF the
general adoption Of any such recommendation,
although we have no doubt that thousands of
the most malignant of the locofocos have been
for long time in the habit of pursuing course
similar to that recomnended.-L) Jour.

The Wings and Democrats of the town and
parish of Natchitoches agreed amongst them
selves, previous to the Presidential election, to
procure the necessary ammunition to fire two
hundred aud fifty rounds in honor Of the sue.
cessful candidate. The flag STATS of the two
parties were within few yards of one another,
and from their submits the banners of their re-
spectve chiefs streamed in graceful daliance
with the winds of heaven. 1t was stipulated
that upon the result of the canvass being as
certained, national salute of thirteen guns
should be fired, when the banner of The defeated
party should be lowered TO the ground, that
done, the firing of the remainder of the two
hundred and fifty guns should be resumed.
When the intelligence of Mr.. Pok's election
reached Na;chi'oches, both parties asseHbIed
under their respective flag stats The ilnng
was begun, and at the thirteenth discharge The
wings lowered the ensign of Clay and Frehng
huvsen, amid as profound silence as ever
regned over the citadel of the dead. The flr-
ine was then continued, without further demon
stration on the part OF the democrats on an ex'
uiting character.
Amongst the wings there was one deaf and
dumb from birth. When the Clay banner was
removed from the ground, after the discharge OF
the thirteen guns to a building hard by, he
went away and was not seen again until the tls-
was ended He was then q scovered with his
face buried in the folds of the fallen flag. and
in posture betokenIng the sincerest anguish,
He had been Composttor IN one OF the prln.
ting offices Of the village, and had embraced the
wing cause with the ardor peculiar to the iervld
Isensbies of that bereit class OF persons.--
When the emblem Of his faith was no longer to
be seen floating in the mid-alr, there was nc
need for one like him at the meeting. The
booming cannon pealed its thunders in vain
such things could neither assuage nor aggravate
his grief. Nor could the coincidence of friend;
reach his bruised spirit. The consolation o

HENRY CLAY.--Those who wish to call to
mind the bearing Of Mr. Clay under adverse
circumstances, will remember that he is the
same man now that he was in lS43; when, af-
ter being hunted for twenty wears by the blood
hounds Of party, he returned to Kentucky. and
with an eIoqueuse and an energy which no
modern man can rival, addressed his constitu-
Ients and neighbors:
"Itis now more than forty years" said Mr..
Clay, ''snce came here poor and frendess
youth, was taken By the hand by ;our fathers,
and led to fs.ae and fortune. All that am and
have been, owe to their generous kindness
and steady confidence. And now have come

RoMrsH CARE or THE BIBLE The establish.
ed law of The Roman Catholic church ~ regard
TO the reading of the Bible is this: "lf any one
shall have the presumption 10 read or possess
the Bible, without written permission from
the Bishops or inquistors, he shall not receive
absoluion until he shall first have delivered up
such Bible TO the ordinary (priest.) Bookse.
Iers, who shall sell or otherwise dispose of BIZ
bles in the vulgar tongue, to any person not ha.
wing such permission, shall forfeit the value Of
the book, and be subject TO such other penalties
as the bishop shall judge proper" No Roman
Catholic then, may read the Book of God, with
ont written permission from the Bishop
and this permission can be given only TO those,
who in the Bishops opinion, are not likely to be
injured, I e., shaken from their faith in Ro.
N anisal BY reading it,. Nor can any man sell
CIR give it away, to any who have notsuch writ
ten permission to read it, on heavy penaltee!-
who can wonder that Infidels and Universalsts
think well of Romanism, and greatly prefer it 10
the orthodox which aims TO put the Bible into
the hands ofevery man,woman and child thro'
out the world, in their own vernacuIar tongue!
Infdelity, and the host Of its kindred efrors
may well shake hands with the Pope Of Rome,
and the patriarch of Cons,aninople, for they
belongto one ofthe same family.
