In the Western portion Of New Yofkthe
"spiritual manifestations haze created een-
siderable excitement. Among the sdtiects
of this excitement was simple man. ofsnid-
die age, whose bumps of marvellousness
and reverence were equally large. He
was, of course, superstitiously religious,
and the knockings, Of which he had taken
eager occasion to be witness, impressed
him with the utmost awe.
The mans wife, however, was a very diff
ferent kind of being. She secuted the
Spirits laughed at her husband, and took
every occasion to rally him upon what she
deemed his special weakness.
One morning after the sold man had been
out to hear the knockings,' the remem-
brance Of which had stolen away a nights

make fire. The wife was awake, and de-
termiped on having some fun. So raising
herself on her elbow, she regarded her hus-

i NEW FABLE FOR CRITICS.

One Of the best things we have met with
for long time is the following which we
clip from the Transcript where it appear
ed as selected matter. Those who have
closely watched the criticisms on Jenny
Lind, cannot fail to appreciate it,
The Nightingale, once upon time, gave
"a concert, TO which she invited a!I her
friends, and many il appeared who we're
mot her friends. She sang, as only Night
ingale Can sing, although she was little
futtered at first, knowing that there were
good many musical critics present, who
might discover flaw in her voice, or some
defect in her method. After the concert
was over, she modestly retired to her nest
half-dead with tie fatigue Of her great ex-
iertions, and trembling lest she should be
found fault with the next day BY the barn
door fowls, crows, and others of her inusi-
cal acquaintances. The audience. how
ever, remained to discuss her merits as q
singer. There was pretty general ex-
tpression Of delight among them, the cock
cro%ed, the turkey, who rather plumed
himself on his science, gobbled his salts
faction, the crows cawed with pleasure,
the hens ran about cackling with intense
interest, and even the great goose who gen.
orally hissed at concerts, how held up his
head and applauded bravely by ilapring his
wings. There was very grave and pro-
found Ass present, who said
81 agree with you all, my friends, that
the Nightingale has very fine voice, and
a high degree Of cultivation, although it is
rather sharp in the upper notes, aud that
her execution is quite wonderful. She is
also good creature !; but
'But,' growled the Lion, syou Asses can
never say anything good-natused without
spelling it with butt
'Don't interrupt him. said the Goose,
'the Ass is honest, if he is an ASS
But resumed the ASS, but there is no
sympathy in her voice; it somehow don't
touch my feelings
There was general litter at this, bu.
the Fox Immediately suppressed it. i ad-
mire the honesty of my grave friend with
the long ears said he, winking slyly at the
samo time at the Lion; 'the Ass is candid,
and | really do not, myself, think that his
feelings have been touched by the melting
strains of our little friend the Nightingale,
whose songs have so delighted the rest Of
us. But in justice to the warbler, we
should know what kind Of sounds do touci,
the feelings of our grave friend, before we
allow our opinions &: be warped by his crit
ical Judgment > -
'Why, SIR replied the great musical crit
ic, pricking up his ears, and evidently much
gratified at the respectful manner of the

II We insert paragraph upon our coming
Senatorial election from the PennsyIrnnisn.
That paper is edited BY the Hon. Jnoz,W For
iney, late one Of Pennsylvania abiest Reprsssh,
tatiyes in Congress. We take the oceasiea Il
assure him that Benton has no chance whateyes
Iof reelection. We hope, but cannot asssri
that the Democratic party will re-unite. .Ns
Wing can be elected save by Benton votes. The
worst that can happen viii be that the seat may
be left vacant:
MlssoURI.-A bitter contest in regard to u. 8.
Senator, is going on in this State. Indications
show that Mr.. Benton is unusually active and
violent. Various calculations are put forth on
the result of'the eleclon ard the friends Of Mr..
Benton have unmistakabIy resorted to the game
!of brag in order TO bolster up their favorite The
Democrats who are hostile to Benton have evil
IDENTIFY got the advantage of him. They prove
that he did not vote for the fugitive slave bill
though he was in his seat at the time the vote
was taken. This fact alone, in slave State
would be enough to destroy any man, and we
hardly see how Benton is TO contend against it
The Wings are evidently lying low. expecting tt
take advantage of the quarrel. For our owl
part. We hope that Benton viii be defeated. Hi.
arrogant, selfish and domineering course, de
serves TO be rebuked ty an overwhelming over
throw. In this age Of progress il is degradin.
to tolerate such leaders.

IfThe editor ofthe St. Louis Union devotes
