Pennsylvania Election. --- Great
WING VICTORY.

One Of the most signal political triumphs which
ever occurred in our country, has teen achieved by
the Wing party in Pennsylvania at their election on
Tuesday Of last week. Of the "a members of Con-
gress it is conceded that the wings have elected lG.
and probably II. In both branches of tie Leg.sla-
ture the changes have been equally striking. In the
present Congress the Wings have but ten members.
The following lament Of the Pennsylvania, the Lo-
co foco Organ Of the State, tells the story.
"The result in Pennsylvania. As the news from
the different counties OF this State of the election of
Tuesday is gradually received all parties are amaz-
ed-the Democrats at their almost uEvaried bad
luck and the Wings, at successes Ct " hich they new
or dreamed. There is no merit in denying a defeat
so overwhelming. however it may have been produc-
cd. Some ofour strongest counties have been sway
ed from their p%ropriety; others have given maiori-
ties on but a part Of the Democratic ticket" 4 II
n "Ihere is hardly q single county vet heard
from in which we can be said TO hold our own, save
Philadelphia county. This is the condition of thines
as 1t occurs to us, and it is this which gives to cur
opponents sufficient ;nducement for exultation.'
Such is the summary report, by the Leading Polk
organ of this splendid Wing triumph in the Kew store
State. No Governor was to tie chosen at Ills Gee
ton. Although the infamous Charles J. IL ersoll is
reelected, by a plurality, it seems that the maior,-
ty against him was nearly two housqnd, lat It vas
divided between two candidates-a Wig ard { NJ
tive lie therefore slipped in between he tive. "

that 'the owner of a slave, either by himself

THE Law OF THE FINGER RINo,--I(
a gentleman wants a wife, he wears a ring
on the first finger Of the left hand; if he is
engaged, he wears il on the second finger;
If married, on the third; on the fourth, il
he never intends to get married. -Wheu
a ladt is not engaged, she wears hoop
or diamond, on her first finger il engaged,
on the second if married, on the third /;
and ON the fourth, it she intends to die a
maid. When gentleman present fan,
a flower, or trinkets to lady, with the left

A Chapter on Rats.

We have real pretty tough rat story in the
"Penny Magazine" but it is said to be au,hen-
tic. "An open box" says the narrator. "ccn-
tanning some bottles of Florence oil, was placed
in room which was seldom visited. On go
ing into the room for one OF the bottles, it was
perceived that the pieces of the bladder and the
cotton. which were at the mouth ofeach hottie,
had disappeared; and that considerable guam
tity OF the contents Of the bottles had been con.
sumed. This circumstance having excited
surprise. some Of the bottles were filed with
oil, and the mouths of them secured as before
The next morning the covering of the bottles
had again been removed, and part of the oil was
gone. On watching the room, through small
window, some rats were seen to get into the box,
thrust their tails into the necks of the bottles.
and then, Withdrawing them. lick of the oil
which adhered TO them
Another story about these animals, almost as
wonderful, we have upon the authority Of n
clergymen in Eugland. He Gays that he was
walking out in a medow one evening, and he
observed great number of rats in the act Of
emigratng. He stood perfectly still. and the
whole army passed close to him. Among the
number he tells us was an old rat who was
blind. lie held piece Of stick by one end in
his mouth. while another rat had hold Of the 9th.
er end fit. and was conducting him.
A good man has well remarked, that jes.
ting upon serious subjects is ever the mark Of q
shallow and superficial mind, poor in ideas, and
stil poorer in judgment.

As he marked her rae cold brow,
