Sabbath School Exhibition

We are requested to say that the Exhibition
recently given by the Universalist Sabbath
School in this city, and which afforded such
universal satisfaction to those who witnessed
it, will be repeated, in compliance with the
very general desire, next Sabbath evening"
Several new pieces have been added, among
them dialogue which is to be spoken by ten
of the smallest scholars in the school. We
have no doubt the occasion will equal, and
think it may exceed, the former in attractive
ness and interest. Services will commence at
6 o'clock. Tickets may be had as before, dur
ing the remainder of the week, at the Shoe
Store of Mr.. I. Jewett, and at the Church dur
ing the day of the Exhibition.

Southrons despise slave dealers. Go where
you WILL and you will find this sentiment
prevailing. This, in itself, is a conclusive
answer to those who affirm that slavery is a
blessing. A fact was stated in pulpit, in
this city which illustrates our remark. One
of the slave dealers of Baltimore went down
as passenger on one of the steamers from this
city to New Orleans. He was known, yet nc
one seemed to notice him
At Evansville minister came on board
and the trader fastened himself upon him.
But the secret came out. 4" I do the business

were his asseverations but they did not avail
him. He was still left alone Louisville

A Lucky SHor.-We have seen a letter from
young Phadelphian now at Paris, who states
that during the iOsurrectiOn member Of the Garde
Mobile was captured by the insurgents and strung
up by rope to an erninence. Just at this mo-
ment, and while the poor fellow was wrtbing in
torture, party of National troops made their ap-
pearance, and fired a volley among the revolters.
A musket ball struck the rope by which the
guardsman was suspended, cut it in twain and sa-

Il. L. MEAGHER AND DANIEL O'CoNNELL.-
The enthusiastic and noble young orator was loved
by the great agitator with the fond affection of
parent. One day, Mr.. Meagher was visiting at
leIrion Square, the city residence of the "Libera-
'or." "Meagher," said he, patting the youthful
| tribune on the head, 'your fiery, but beautiful
speeches will get us all into trouble The govern
ment is only anxious 10 have preext to prosecute
me-" '.Liberator," said Mr. Meagher, with en-
ergy, 81 would spill my hearts blood to protect
you! If they want victim, let them seize me

sponded O'Connell, .'il's the old rat they want

much rather you'd lire for mel In jockey phrase,

buoyant, throw in little more ballast.
These pig pl remarks created no small emotion in
the breast b., whose eloquent apostrophe to the

At another time, Mr.. Meagher was in Limrick,
when report had reached the city, that Mr. o.
C'onnel had died rather suddenly in London

MY FAvoRITE HAUNT.
by WERNER.


Once seek thy shades, enchanted spot!
Blooming with mcmrics Of the joyous past,
Amid thy charms forget my hapless lot,
And feast sweets too pure, too dear to last.
As the broad trees their ample shadows cast,
In fond protection, DER yon sparkling stream,
Till in their haste, the wavelcts flowing fast
Successive meet the SUMS cnlivcning beam
So mcmry light relieves fe's dark deceptive dream
Hail hallowcd spot twas here in years goncby-
In childhood's happy morn, and clear,
Ere this dark breast had known sigh,
Or passion stained this eyelid with tear,
loved in solitude my to steer.
Here have dreamed, as rapturous hours flew by
On angels wings, Of moments still more dear,
Till lullcd by Hope, saw with ravished eye,
The bow of promise span the unknown Futures sky.
Oft have slept beneath this brave old tree,
Around whose trunk the clustering How'rets meet;
Oft launched my mimic boat with boyish glee
On the smooth waters murm'ring at my feet;
Oft from the mead have gathered flowers most sweet
And twined a garland for some loved ones hair;
Oft watched at dying eve, the golden sheet
OF mellow vapor hanging the air,
And innocenty dreamed that Heaven itself was there
These were my carly joys-but later years
Have recolcctions dcarer far TO me,
When hours flew by unsulied with lifc's cares,
AS morning mists before the sunbcams fec.
One summer eve wandered forth with THEE
The stars smiled fondly on us from above,
With trembling accents and on Bonded knee,
Here, in this hallowed, consecrated grove
first poured forth the tender story of my love.
] love it for thy sake and oft at eve,
Just the his lingering shadows cast,
Forgetting present woe, the world leave
To muse upon the transports of the past.
Visions Of other days DER me FAST
In rainbow robes of richest beauty drcst;
But ah my raptured gaze is fixed at last
On fond image lovelicr than the rest
That image is thine own, sweet idol Of my breast

Gen. HARRISON AND GEN. TAYLoR.-During
Gen. Harrison's speech at Cleveland, Ohio, some
one in the crowd called out him for declaration
Of principles. The venerable patriot stopped his
eloquent discourse for moment, and then replied
in substance, as follows:
81 make no pledges. Your President is not the
man TO enact laws. Go and elect your Congress-
and instruct them in every thing concerning the
laws you wish enacted, and should be the
cessul candidate, will endeavor to '.see that the
laws are faithfully executed" and when / shall
have done that, the duties of the Executive, ac-
oS-4ins IN my nntnn> will have been fulfilled"
This, too, is the course of Gen. Taylor AL
though firm Wing, yet, if he were President, he
would consider himself the President, not Of par
ties, but of the Nation, and, consequently, bound
by his oath to sanction and administer such laws as
the people might enact, free Of any restraint what
ever. He says:
Upon the subject of the tariff, the currency
the improvement Of our great highways, rivers,
lakes, and harbors, the will of the people, as ex-
pressed through their representatives in Congress,
ought to be respected and carried out by the Exec
utlve."
