Splitting the Difference A young
gentleman, not thousand miles from this.
after long and assiduous courtshp, found
himself. one bright evening the betrothed
of pretty girl. the very pink Of modesty.
One night he was about to take his de-
parture. and after lingering about the door
for some time in a fdget Of anxiety, de-
clared end protested to Miss Nancy that
he could not, and would not leave until
she kissed him. OF course Miss Nancy
blushed beautifully red, and protested in
turn, that she could not and would not do
that. She never had done such thing,
and never would until she was married.
so now he had it, The alteration and
debate became deep and exciting. until
the betrothed huffed outright, and declared
if he couldn't kiss her, he couldn't have
her-and was marching off. She watch
ed him to the gate. and saw the fat was
in the fire. unless something was done.
Come back them said she. coaxingly.
I'll split the difference with you-you may
squeeze my hand!'

your party are too unjust TO give their op-

Innate, to kill effectively the vermin with which
they are infested. They are then dressed in

II is wise move An ounce of preventive is
worth pound of cure.
Several gentlemen of our city who accompanied
President Taylor 10 York and Lancaster have re-
turned. They describe the scenes as most enthu-

Some Of the Democratic papers, and the Argus
Of this city in particular, have undertaken to de.
tract and ridicule General Taylor's remarks when
in this city. They say he made speech, &c
The truth is the President did not even attempt tc
make speech. He only spoke few words ia.
mary to the people as they gathered round him,
without even presuming to call it speech. He
talked as men talk in common conversation, with
