gubernatoria, last election. He did not run well

A BRIGHT CHILD.-A New Yorker, who edits
paper, was lately travelling in New Jersey;
while in that State, he came across the bright
est chap, for his size and age he ever saw tortur-
ing extadpoles in spring by the roadside, alto
gether out of sight and hearing of any human
habitaion. He says:
Man isa talking animal, and he must talk. So
we, having not had an opportunity Of exchanging
"a word with fellow mortal for two hours, coudn'
resist the temptation OF talking to this little bare
headed and bare e-footed brat.
where do you live, my SOM inquired we. just
as he had stirred up big bull-frog from the mud
with mullen stalk.
i don't live no where only home
Where is your home!'
'Over the hill next house to Mr.. Wagner's.'
Have you parents living"
whats them?'
Il mean have you father and mother'
'Yes, sir: but pap's been dead good while, and
mother says she won't stand it, because it's too
hard for her.
sWhat work does she doi'
sMilks the cow and all sorts of things
Is your mother pious woman-s good Chris
tiani'
No, sir-she's Dutchmann
Here the little genius went to stirring up the
frogs again as much as to say don't disturb me
with further interrogations,' and so we left him.

LIVE PEACEFULLY WITH ALL.

All are liable to err; and those who are the most
guilty, are frequently the first to censure Others.
They who bear the least from friends are most in
clined to provoke. II would seem that men might
learn wisdom from experience Of the past, and
labor to prevent unkind wards, chickering's and
quarrels. When they see the misery that has been
produced by 'tres light as ali, they should form
the resolution never to use harsh word, throw
out base insinuation or revengeful look.
Mankind should live like members of one family
and labor to promote the welfare of each Instead
of picking out blemishes in your friends, and de-
nouncing their proceedings, how much better to
dwell on their virtues and kindness! If they un.
Intentionally wrong you, instead Of flaring up and
showing your spite with harsh words, or doing
them an injury, reflect that they have done you
many favors; how! many times they have visited
you in sickness, sympathizrd in your sorrow, and
when they had rarity, shared with you and your
children! Rejecting thus. would dsarm you oil
every unknd and revengeful feeling, and you
could not find it in your heart to do them an injury
When the temper is reused, how common it is 10
forget past favors, and bring 10 mind every mole
hill difficulty, which, when in anger, rises tc
mountain size, and then decides as passion ant
not reason dictates! ..-
Live peacefully is not only wise precept, but
sacred Injunction. But this you never do, unless
you strive TO follow peace with all men. If yor
reflect upon and treasure up every harsh word, yor
will always be in trouble If you pass over lit
tie injury and barish it from your mind, and return
good for evil there will be no trouble; you cannot
be otherwise than good citizens and fast friends
How soon would earth resemble heaven, and eve
ry thing glow with the beauty and freshness of a
paradise. if mankind would Danish anger ant
revenge from their bosoms, and were determined
to live peaceably and happy with their neighbors
