An EASY TEMPERED MAN-We were
much amused by a story told of an old slut
tering man, not many leagues from Vermont
who unfortunately became possessed of a
pair of, breachy' cattle. He offered them for
sale, but such was their reputation for tear
ing down and getting over fences that no
ole wished TO buy. AT length stranger
came 10 look at them, and inquire into their
dispositions, was told by the owner that they
never troubled him any way. Satisfied with
the price, the stranger purchased and paid
down for them.
1t was not long before he returned and
claimed damages.
They tear down my best fences said
he.
Iih-rh-ihink it gu qu-quile likely replied
the seller, cody.

In responding, Gov, Briggs, without nam

that he was thankful for the compliment con-
veyed in the toast, land was gralifed to find
that he was regarded as an officer who was
disposed 10 do his duty. Without undertake

forming his duty, he would say, that he felt

gard to his public duty, he had but one
course TO pursue. What that duty might be,
and whenever he might be called upon 10

officer, he said, who fails 10 do his duty is a
''traitor." Cheering 4 private individ-

Gov. BRIGGS AND THE ABoLITIoNIsTs.-
During the recent session of the AntiSla-
very Convention, the proclamation OF Gov
Briggs, called out by the requisition Of the
War Department, was issued. This precla-
nation was received with wrath and indig-
nation by the convention, and after discus
sion, in which the Governor was denounced
in the usual plain and passionate language
of the abolition speakers, the following Ieso-
luton was adopted
Resolved That at the bar of liberty and
humanity, we impeach George N. Briggs,
the author of the proclamation dated yester
dav. as purlured on his own principles, as a
traitor by bis own showing, and one before
whose guilt that inamy of Arnold and of the
traitors in the Missouri compromise, becomes
responsibility and decency, s.nce, under oath
10 support the constitution OF the United
States, he calls on The commonwealth TO
rally TO a war, which is waged TO defend and
project an act Cthc annexation of Texas
which he has himself so often declared "a vi
olation of the constitution-equivolent to dis
soution"-a triumph ofslavery and despot-
ism-one TO which it would be the basesr
calumuy to suppose that Massachusetts
would ever submit; and that we call upon
the people TO forget them as emPhatically as
they did Mason of Boston, and Shaw o

THE PROUD HEART BROKEN.
Tell him, tell him, that in the hall
l was the light OF the festival,
Tell him how proudly paced the dance,
What powers bore in word, or glance,
And how each wave of my careless hand
Seemed strong spell, like kings command.
Tell him. tell him my lip was wreathed
With glad, cold smile, when his name was
breathed;
Tell him laughed with the proud and cold,
In mockery deep al those days of old,
Those dreams of folly, the far, the dim,
When my naughty Split was bowed TO him.
Buttell him, tell him not day by day,
The light of my dark eye bleached away;
Tell him not how in the hush ofnight,
His form would arise to my aching sight,
Till my hands were elasped DER my closed eyes,
To shut out those haunting memories.
Friend! gentle friend thou hast loved me long,
And thy heart is stirred with my woe and wrong,
OH be it meier to the false one known
That my spirits worship was his alone.
Inmy dying heart is gush of pride;
Tell him not, tell him not how died.
Say that passed, in my flush ofpower,
A rose, dashed down by sudden shower;
A string, which burst in the tide song,
Touched by a hand too full and strong;
A star, that shot from its lofty sphere,
Losing its lustre and glory here.

first place. She has molly come up to the

have been. New Jersey and PENNSYLVANIA
have gailantly assisted the exhibition. and
Delaware has done more than her proportion.

neighbors of Maryland and Virginia occu-
