THE MOSS ROSE.
BY MISS G. w. BARBER,

-.5 ,sB u MI lS Cs w. b b II.
"My dear Alice,'' said old Doctor EN-.
burg, as he laid down the Medical Journal
and wiped his spectacles with the corner oil
his silk pocket-handkerchief "you are quite
too fond of house plants; they are very un.
healthy things when growing in a close
room like ours, and thought this morning
when | saw what quantity of them YOU
had collected there, that would speak to
you about them. | shall have Betty, the
house.maid, take them all into the garden"
"But, papa, you must not, indeed you
must not. | cannot possibly part with them.
In the garden the wind will tear them down
and the cold air will ruin them. There's
my beautiful Fuehechia which will not
stand breath of air, and my fine tea-rose,
and my perfections, and rival perfections,
and geraniums without number. Indeed,
cannot think of the thing"
"But, my dear, am quite confident that
those severe headaches of yours are the
result Of staying shut up with those things.
| can see no other cause for them so to the
garden they must co.
Alice knew that when her father said
must, it meant something; SO petted and
half spoiled by indulgence as she was, she
did not offer any further objection, but bend
ing her head over her embroidery, she
pouted out her pretty lips, and piled her
needle most diligently. Doctor Emburg
took up his Journal again and began to read.
Alice was an only daughter--a beauty,
and scarcely seventeen. She had been
nursed in the lap cf luxury, for her father
was considered one Of the most skillful
physicians in the city of B, and had
early, by industry and economy, amassed
a comfortable fortune. Her mother was a
woman fond Of the fashionable world, and
Alice had been trained to every elegant art
and accomplishment. Among other things,
she was passionately fond of flowers. In
her room, on large fower-frame, stood
almost every rare and lovely exotic which
could be procured. The cypress vine
wound its slender tendrils around aframe
which her Ingenuity and taste had devised
for i and many q beautiful plant had been
sent her BY friends from the sunny south.
She had spent hours over them, pruning
tying up, and shielding them from tho
rough air. Her geraniums were in full
blossom, and her monthly rose had clam
bered nearly tosthe top ofthe windows, and
now hung more than rtyblossoms to the
sun.

Washington was apprised Of this, and re-

OSPEC TUS
OF THE
Democratic Pioneer,

Published in Upper Sandusky.
THE undersigned, believing it to be for the
welfare and better organization of the Dem
ocratlc party, is desirious of publishing paper
in the above named place, which in politics
will be thoroughly Democratic; while at the
same time much other interesting matter will
appear in it. 1t will be published every week,
and as far as possible, contain the latest in
telligence.
In taking the responsibility of publishing a
paper practice has made it necessary to give
an avowal of the principles by which it will
be governed, and in so doing, it is deemed suf-
fcient when we say; it will be devoted to
principles which guarantee to every man,
equal protection, equal privileges, and uni
versal liberty,-holding the doctrine that all
men are alike worthy of protection, so long as
the doctrine of freedom and equality are pro-
fessed to be the governing principles of our
happy land--without distinction between rich
or poor. Believing such were not the gov
erning principles of the majority in our State
Legislature last winter, we shall be found bat
tleing against all such men and measures.
1t is the intention of the editor to be per-
fectly free and uncontrolled by any man or
set of men; and always willing to receive the
COuuSel Vi SUCH as are ueSiTOuS Oi pTOUOtlnU
the good cause for which it is published to
vindcate, as the advice of many is more like
ly to be correct than the few.
The full desire being, to print sheet truly
and wholly Democratic, we not only take our
own opinion, but also the opinions of the H.
lustrious who have promulgated Democratic
principles from the earliest dawn of our rep
ublican government.
The mechanical branch of the paper will
be neatly executed.
t Il RM s OF s UBsC CRIPTIoN.
The paper viii be published weekly,
per year, if paid in advance, at -. % 90
If not paid till the expiration, ...... 2 so
For six months, if paid in advance. 90
If at the expiration of six months, -. ] so
The above terms will be required, unless
the publisher sees fit to make other arrange
ments.

rounding country, 10 constituted an agent, 10

PROSPECTUS
Ohio Statesman.

again enter upon the responsible and
important trust of editor and proprietor OF
the Ohio Statesman. In thus again launch,
ing into the sea of politics, can offer no
pledge but devotion to the great end and
aim Of old and long tried democratic prin-
ciples and the party, as founded by the i'm
mortal jefferson. To rally the sound
heads and honest hearts to one great stand
ard OF ofrepublican truths, will be the object
and ardor of my soul. We are defeated
at various points, only from want OF har-
mouy and action. No one can critically
examine the returns of elections tor the
last year, and not be convinced OF tins.
There is nothing, then, TO discourage dem-
ocrats, but a thousand arguments to
strengthen them to renewed life and encr
gy. Have the pledge of the veteran
democrais--the old and the young--of our
glorious State, that they will lend help
ing hand to achieve result that will be
both honorable and full ofhope to patriotic
freemen! / feel a confidence that shall
be sustained in this resolve, BY the united
energies ofthe democracy ofthe State, so
long as shall have an eye single to the
great principles Of pure republicaDlsm
and the certain triumphs Of the democratic
party. Without any further apology, then
i fling my flag to the breeze, trusting to
the noble democracy Of fourstat to keep
it there flying.
