A Story of the Highway.

Not many years ago, an Irishman, whose fnan-
ces did not keep pace with the demand made on
his pocket, and whose scorn of honest labor was
immensely unfavorable to their being legilimately
filled. borrowed an old pistol one day. when pow
erty had driven him to an extremity, and took TO
the highway, determined to rob the first man he
could most conveniently, who was likely to have
heavy purse.
A jolly old farmer came jogging along and Pat
put him down instantly as party who possessed
those requisites he SO much stood in need of him.
self. Presenting the pistol. he ordered the agrl-
culturlst to stand and deliver
The poor fellow forked over some fifty dollars
but finding Pat somewhat of geen-horn, begged
FIVE to take him home-a distance Of half mile
by the way. The request was complied with, ac-
companied by the most patronizing air. Old
Acres and Roods was knowing one. Eyeing the
pistol asked Pat if he would sell it.
is it to sell the pistols Sow, an its that same
thing I'll be afther doing What will We be af-
lher givin' for it =
IN give this FIVE dollar bill for it,
Done aud done,s enough betwane two gintle-
men. Down with the dust, and here is the tool
for yer.
The bargain was made by immediate transfer.
The moment the farmer got the petronel, he or
dered Pat to shell out and pointing the pistol,
treatened to blow his brians ont if he refused
Pat looked at him with a comical leer, and but
toning his breeches pocket sung out Blow away,
ould boy ID take the bit of powders in it.
We believe the old man never told the last part
of the story only oace and that was by the purest
accident. Pat moved on, and 'once away, forever
away has since been his motto.

sail on O Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all lis fears,
SFith all the hopes of future years,

We know what master laid thy heel,
What workman wrought thy ribs Of steel,
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope;
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what forge, in what heat, !.
Were shaped The anchors Of Thy hope
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,

IT'S but the tapping Of the sail,
And not rent made by the gale
In spite Of rock and tempest roar,
Sail on. nor fear, te breast the sea!

Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears
Our faith triumph Ger our fears,
Are all with ihee-are all with thee

Origin of Coal.

The immense beds Of bituminous coal, found IN
the valley of the Ohio, fill the mind with wonder
Age after age successive growths fplans, spring
inc up ia the same egiou, were entombed beneath
thick strata of shale, 10 the depth OF more than ,
ono feet while beneath the whole lay the bed OF
an ocean. foored with fossil salt. Indications OF
coal are found at intervals, the great val
lev, from the Allegheny to the Rocky Mountains

Indiana. Illinois and Missouri. and without doubt,
NAV be found beneath the extensive territory, de-
nosi,es WHICH from the sub-stratum OF the great
praries In the central and northern parts Of the
Western States. As low down as New Madrid,
on the Mississippi, coal was thrown up from oe-
meath the bed of the river by the great earthquake
Of lSl2--a sufficient proof OF its continuation
in the most depressed part of the great valley
That the coal is Of vegetable origin, no one who
has ever read much on the subject or personally
examined the coal beds, will deny. Time was

NJ Brother Wilson, of the Somervle Whlg IS

mania of locofoco economy, so apt TO break ou'

his willingness to accept the Presidency oil the U.
States. at half the salary at present attached 10
that office, and declaring that he could make Tor
tnna At that He would rent out the White House,
he said, take shop in the business pant oil the
town and work at his trade. The members oil
Congress would patronize him, of course, for the
sake of the Offices in his gift the Foreign Minis
tiers, TO show their respect for the government to
which they were accredited and the public, for
the sake of wearing garment fashioned by the IL
lusrious hand of the chief magistrate OF this great
republic. Thus at the end of four years, ne would
retire with $4,000, besides the cabbage and 9TH

candidate. too, would have made much better
President than some of those that locolocoism has
