to whom, under written pledges, prior 10 his
election, made voluntarily and unasked for
he promised, Ito stand by and support, in
all regular Democratic nominations, county
state, or national, and that -he was opposed
to any diUision or other dismenberment of Col
unbia County," And yet, with the ink scarce.
ly dry in which the pledges were written,
did the entire Whig party, in the Senate oi
Pennsylvania,..by the aid of the casting vote
Of Valentine Best' himself, degradingly elecl
this same Best Speaker of their body, whilst
he in return, gave them the presen, infamous
and unfair apportionment bill, and they in
return gave him Montour, by his misrepre-
senting the Democracy of Luzeme and Col
umbia, with $500 majority. Degrading spec
tdeiei worthy only of arnold Iseariot, and the
piebald enemy who jointly effected these
Infamous measures; and yet I see this
arch-traitor lowering around this Conveaton
like carrion-crow <gTeai laughter), seeking
tor more food 10 satiate his cormorant appe.
tite.. But say TO the betrayed, yet undis-
mayed Democrats of noble Columbia, to let
"Repeap be the wstchword, never to tire in
their Efforts, until their beautiful hills and
dales shall resound its triumph, like "Er.
punge" in the Senate of the Union, when
the fair fame of Andrew Jackson was res
cued from the foul aspersion then cast upon
its mantle. (Cheers.)
We have noble work before us, fellow
Democrats. The state and nation must be
brought bank, at the coming gubematorial
and presidential elections, 10 the Democratic
cause. Her candidates, her measures and
principles must then again be IN the ascen-
cendant, and must, as she has during the
present century, with but Few short inter-
walls, control and direct this great state and
advancing nation. (Applause.) Federalism
is not qualified for power, having no princi-
Piles but lust for privileged power, corpo-
rate responsibility, protected capital, de-
pressed labour, and distrust of mans capa.
bility for se!fgovernment, and these con-
cealed under various DISCUSSES and pretences.
Her administration of the national govern.
ment exhibits broken pledges, vicillating in.
decision, Galphin plurders, and heartless in
difference to the cause of suffering freedom
in the land of the Roman and Hungarian
(Renewed applause.)
Then let us rally our ranks again, and ele.
vate Pennsylvania to her lofty position by
the side of chivalrous Virginia (where a
Federal vote ON 1899 to the present time
has never been cast), and exhibit to the ma
ton the Keystone commonwealth, founded
in ''mercy and justice" rendered illustrious
by the genius of Franklin, Rittenhouse, and
Fulton, by the valour of Wayne and Decatur
and The incorruptible democracy of Snyder,
Wolf, and Skunk, crowned with victor Gus
laurels that shall be green for ever. EN-
thusiastic applause.)

LILLY LEE.
BY ALICE CAREY.

did love thee, Lilly Lee,a.
As the petrel loves the sea,
AS the wild bee loves the thyme
AS the poet loves his rhyme,
As the blossom loves the dew
But the angels loved thee TOO.
Once, when twilight's dying head
Prest her golden sheeted bed,
And the silent stars drew near,
White and tremulous with fear,
While the nights repelling frown
Strangled the young zephyr down,
Told | all my love 10 thee,
Hoping, fearing, Lilly Lee.
Fluttered then her gentle breast,
With troubled sweet unrest,
Like bird too near the net
Which the fowler's hand hath set;
But her mournful eyes the while,
And her spirit speaking smile,
Told me love could not depart
Deaths pale arrow from the heart.
flushing from that very day ~.
Passion pleading to have way,
Folding close her little hand,
Watched ! with her till the sand
Crumbling from beneath.'her tread,
Lower'd her softly TO the dead,
Where in peace she. waits for me,
Sweetest dearest, Lilly Lee.
t- -
As the chased heart loves the wave,
As blind,silence loves the grave
As the penitent. lovers. prayer,
As the pale passion loves despair,
Loved !, and shll love l thee,

Song of the Tea.Kettle.

WAh gargling noise in its s. out,
And N unmusic al sigh,
A tea-ketile old, and most worn out,
Sat itself down 10 die;
Slowly and sadly it sung,
Begrimmed with SCOT and smoke;
never heard that tea-kettle's tongue
Could have uttered so sad croak.
"Sing, sing, sing,
The long winter evenings through,
I've sometimes hoped at coming spring
I'd have nothing left to do.
o man, that makes the fire,
o woman, that drinks the tea,
Oft of your labors ye weary and tire,
Why don't you have pity on me?
'Tea, and coffee, and toast,
Coffee, and toast and tea,
Ye eat and drink, while burn and roast,
Why don't you have pity on mel
Crack, and snap, and burn,
The fire my song derides,
Not only wood and coal TO burn,
Out poor old tea-kettle's sides.
40 ladies, who drink your souschong,
And pour out your hyson with glee,
Remember the boys and frogs in the song,
And that it's no sport for me.
Aunt Parshall's dish-ketle fate
Surely was nothing to mine;
That had variety still in It's state,
But | never got out of my line.
Gill, fill, fill,
The tea-keltle up to the brim,
AS fast as hct water for coffee goes out,
Cold water for dishes comes in.
Sing, siDgysing,
For breakfast, dinner and tea;
0, there's rest for every thing,
But there's never rest for me-"

EATING ICE CREAM RAW.
by JONAS JONES.

On very warm and sultry evening du-
ring the summer of 80, as DR.. B and
myself were seated in fashionable saloon
OF our town, indulging liz the cool luxuries
which ihe proprietors of the establishment
know so well how to prepare. and chatting
the while upon such subjects as fancy and
caprice sus sgested--a tall, limber-looking
fellow of about twenty.three, made his ap-
pearancc, and after looking about him ior
sometime in bewilderment and doubt, seat
ed himself at table close by the one al
which we were sitting. The young man
was apparently a stranger, and from the
country; and the illuminated sign, with 'Ice
Cream" "Confectionaries," &c., blazoned
thereon, had evidently taken him in. Know
ing the Doctor TO have great propensity for
practical joking, turned to see what effect
this new arrival would have upon him /; and
one glance at his restless, twinkling eye, sat
isfied me that there would be sport.
After sitting some time, az il uncertain
how to proceed, the young man plucked up
sufficient courage TO address US, and inquired
whether he could "get some ice cream and
a couple of confectionaries )" stating, at the
same time, that he had "never been at the
canawl afore, and didn't know how people
acted at sich places" He was informed by
the Doctor, that if he would ring a small
bell which stood upon the table, his wishes
would be gratified. The green 'un did as
he was directed, and in due time was served
with the ice-cream and s'confectonaries" )"
After eyeing for few minutes the articles
before him, he took the spoon from the glass
took small quantity of the cream, and put
it 10 the tip of his tongue and then looking
about the room with an air of great satisfac-
tion and delight. Soon, however, another
idea seemed to strike him he rammed the
spoon deep into the glass, took out heaped
full, and in moment its contents had dis
appeared. ..,.-.-s..-
AT this instant felt twitch at my side
the rext the Doctor was on his feet-had
clutched my arm convulsively, and with one
hand pointing towards the victim, almost
screamed:
."Sboek,ngi that young man Is eating his ice
cream raw"
Down went ice cream, spoon, coatection'
aries and table, upon the floor, out leaped
the victim at least en- feet toward the mid.
die of the room, gasping for breath-his
eyes protruding from their sockets--and
countenance exhibiting marks of the grea.
test terror and helplessness. In momen,
the Doctor was by his side-felt his pulse
unbutoned his coat, waistcoat, and shirt-col
lar, as if 10 admit fresh air--then gently
pushing him into chair, commenced fan
ming him wi III the skirt Of his coat. It wal
then that the victims tongue first became
loose, and with imploring look, he half-whis
pered, half scre ached-
ooh, kin live % - -
Upon this the Doctor looked mysterious
felt his pulse again, examined his tongue
and then, in solemn tone, replied:
"It may bB, young man, that by implicit.
