Major Jack Downing,

+ This agreeable and lacetous gentleman
has again made his appearance in the col
umns Of the National Intelligencer. 1t
appears that he has been on a visit to Cal
ifornla and the first thing on his return
is, to inquire about old friends and the next
Presidency. As TO the prospects of the
Presidency, and the present condition of
parties, his Uncle Joshua makes the fol-
lowing disclosures
Says |, Uncle Joshua, what's the pros
pect about the Presidency 2
Well says he, Major, r,-he always
calls me Major-says he, Major, there
amt no prospect at all
How so,' says | how can YOU make
that out p
WELL says he, there's so many par
ties now, and they are all so mixed up.
hlggledy-piggledy, that you can't see
through 'em with the longest spy-glass
that ever was made. That's why there
amt no prospect at all
Well, now, Uncle joshua says /,
jest name over all these parties, so | can
begin to have some idea of them
Well says he, Wen begin first south
side of Mason and Dixon's hne There's
the old Wing party, and the old Democratic
party, and the party OF Union Wings, and
the party of Secession Wings, and the
party of Union Democrats, and the party
of Secession Democrats, and the party of
absolute, unqualified Secessionists and
the party of Cooperation Secessionists.
And then if we come TO the north side of
Mason and Dixon's line, we find the regu-
lar whig party, and the regular Democratic
party, and the Union Wings, and the Abo-
lltiOn Wings, and the Union Democrats,
and the Abolition Democrats, and the Sill
ver-gray Wings, and the WooIly-head
Wings, and the Hunker Democrats, and
the Barn-burner Democrats, and the Sew
ard party, and the Union Safety Commit
tee party, and the regular Free Soil party,
and the regular Eote-yoursell-a-Farm par
ty.'
Uncle Joshua has given Jack faithful
enumeration of the various parties which
exist, except that he might have added to
the list the Manifest Destiny Party, which
grasps at the possession of the whole
American continent, and the adjacent ISL
ands.
But both the Major and Uncle Josh
need give themselves no further trouble on
the subject, for the people have determined
to place General Scott in the White House
on the 4th of March, 1853, and they will
do it There will be no mistake about it,
If the old Hero is alive at that time

The Lunatie and Sportsman.

In an article on the world at large the
purport of which is to show that men who
are reputed sane, very often act insanely,
a writer in the Chambers Journal repro
duces this story:
A gentleman Of fortune visited a lunatic
asylum, where the treatment consisted
principally i'll forcing patients to stand in
tubs of cold water The visitcr entered
into conversation with one of the patients,
who appeared 10 have some curiosity to
know how the stranger passed his time
ont of doors.
i have horses and greyhounds for cours-
ing said the latter, III reply to the others
question.
'Ah! these are very expensive
Yes, they cost me a great deal of
money in year, but they are the best Of
their kind
Have you anything more"
Yes, have a pack of hounds for hun
ling the fox
And they cost great deal too!'
a very great deal. And | have birds
for hawking.
L see-birds for hunting birds. And
those swell up the expenses, | dare say 2
You may well say that, for they are
not common in this country. And then
some times 60 out with my gun, accom-
panied by setter and retriever
And are those expensive too"
OF course After all it is not the ami
mails of themselves that run away with the
money, there must be men, you know, to
feed and look after them, houses TO lodge
them in-in short, the whole sporting
establishment.
Il see, see-you have, houses, horses,
hounds, settlers, retrievers, hawks, men
and all for the capture Of birds and foxes
What an enormous revenue they must
cost you Now what | want TO know IS
this, what return do they pay what
does your sporting produce I!

Washington In China.

The notions of the Chinese with regard
10 Geography and History. have received
some enlargement, it would seem, since
their war with England, and the conse-
quent increase Of intercourse between them
aud foreigners. Formerly, the Celestial
Empire figured on the Chinese maps as
the main portion of the earth-other coun-
tries being represented as small islands,
and stuck into corners, or crowded along
the margin.
A late work on Geography, however,
His EXcellency Su Kin, of Wutai, Shan
81, the present Lieutenant Governor of
Fuhkien, gives much more compre-
henslve view of the different quarters
of the world, and of the relative propor-
tlons of continents, islands, kingdoms and
nations. The author, it appears, was
greatly aided in his work, which is styled
Universal Geography, by the American
missionary, at Annoy, Mr. Abeel. From
an account in the New York Journal of
Commerce, we learn that the several divi-
sions of the world are so described as to
impress the mind previously uninformed
with tolerable accurate views of their ex-
tent and importance. A general summary
OF the history of each of It's several coun-
tries, with an outline of their political in
stltutions, is given their present condition
and relative resources are pretty accurately
estimated ; even their social institutions,
manners and customs, have formed the
subject of curious investigation to the au-
thor, and his account of them presents 4
ludcrous mixture of truth and error.
The description of the United States is
introduced by the author with history Of
the settlement of the country, and the sub
sequent war of independence.
The character Of Washington commands
his unqualified amiration, as the following
conclusion of his Introductory summary
will show:
1t is evident that Washington was re-
markable man. In devisng plans he was
more decided than Chin Shin or WI
kwang; in winning a country he was
brayer than Tsau Tsau or Liu Pi. WELDING
his four-footed falchion, he extended the
frontiers thousands of miles, and then re-
fused to usurp the regal dignity, or trans
nit 1t to his poserity, but first established
rules for an elective administration
Where in the world can be found such a
public spirit! Truly, the sentiments of
three dynasties have all at once unexpect-
edIy appeared in our day in ruling the
State, he promoted and fostered good Gus
toms, and did not depend on military mer-
it; in this he differed from all other ma
tions. I have seen his portrait his por
trait, his hair and form, are imposing in
remarkable degree. All who would not
call him a hero .
If we in our ignorance cannot estimate
the decision of Chin Sing or Wu Kwang,
or appreciate the bravery of T>au Tsau
or Liu Pi, it is nevertheless within our
power to entertain feeling of respect for
this learned dignitary of China, who
knows how to admire the character of
Washington, and seeks to make it known
to his countrymen. A singular people
these Chinese! They have great deal
vet to learn IN the world, and so no doubt
we as people have also.

New SerIes-VOI. 6-NO. q.
Not Born 10 be Drowned.

The following touching incident is re-
lated in i private letter from Yarmouth.
England, dated the..7th inst, written by
lady, and giving an account of the disas-
trous results of the late shiprecks upon
the east coast: Last Friday. dear little
babe, supposed TO be about four months
old, was picked up in the roads off Var
mouth. It's long clothes prevented it from
sinking; it was fast asleep, and almost be-
numbed with cold. There was no trace
of any ship in sight Or of any boat for
miles around, and it was supposed that
the vessel from which it had been thrown
had sunk, and that all hands persisted.
The captain who picked it up lives at
Yarmouth, and intends to rear it as his own.
He allows the people who come in crowds,
to see it, and have seen il, among the
rest. Ii is a sweet babe

Free Trade In Clarion County.

The Clarion county democrats cannot
but be delighted with the way Free Trade,
for which they voted so vociferlously and
strong, is working among them-SOnee of
them will not fail to make by it. The
last Clarion paper has the Sheriff7s adver-
tisement for sale at the Court house of that
borough, on Monday, December, lst, of
one Furnace, including a Grist and Saw
Mill, Black smiths and Carpenters shops,
and ten dwelling houses with four tracts of
farm land. One other Furnace with lit-
teen dwellings, shops, and stores, and five
more tracts of farm land attached and un-
der improvement. One other Furnace
with dwellings, Mills, shops, stores, &c,
with five tracts of farms of improved land.
One other Furnace, Grlst and Saw Mill,
dwellings and out-houses, with three tracts
of land attached-being improved farms.
One other Furnace, with usual necessary
buildings-dwellings, shops, stores, &C.,
with a tract of land. At same time and
Mace. various other lands and town lots.
They have however this one satisfaction,
that the agony-if not ceasing, itis not in
creasing much. They sold six Furnaces
last Court, and have only six to sell this
Court. They will doubtless sell cheap,
and that will be good for somebody

CoURAGE.-Haye the courage 10 tell
man why you will not lend him your
money he will respect you more than if
you tell him you can't. Have the cour-
age to wear your old garments till you can
pay for new ones. Have the courage to
make a will, and what is more, TO make
just one. Have the courage to pass the
bottle without filling your glass, and to
laugh at those who urge YOU to do the
contrary. Have the courage to discharge
a debt when you have the money in your
pocket. Have the courage to speak your
mind when it is necessary that you should
do so, and to hold your tongue when it is
better that you should be silent.

And ! say unto you il is easier for 4
camel to go through the eye of needle,
than for rich man 10 enter into the King
dom of God
Who said these words-who-who
whon fairly shrieked the dying man, sha-
king the hand which clutched the dollar,
at the preachers head.
The preacher hastily turned over the
leaf and did not reply.
why did You never tell me of this be-
fore? Why did you never preach from it
as | sat in your church. Why-UHy p
The preacher did not reply, but turned
over another leaf. But the dying man
would not be quieted
And it's easier for camel to 90 thro'
the eye of a needle, than for rich man to
enter the Kingdom of God, is it !-Then
what's to become of me! Am not rich
What tenant did | ever spare. what debtor
did ever release and you stood up, Sun
day after Sunday and preached to US, and
never said one word about the camel
The preacher, in search of a consoling
passage, turned rapidly over the leaves,
and, in his confusion, came to this passage,
which he read:
$50 now, We rich man, weep and
howl, for your miserics that shall come
upon you. Your gold and silver is can
kercd: and the rust of them shall be a
witness against you; and eat your flesh, as
II 1t were fire; ye have heaped treasures
together for the last days. Behold the hire
OF the laborers who have reaped down
your fields which you have kept back by
fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which
have reaped are entered into The ears of the
Lord of the Sabbath
And you never preached that TO me =
shrieked the dying man.
The preacher, who had blundered thro'
the passage from James which we have
quoted, knew not what to say. He was
perchance terrified by the very look of his
dying prisoner.
Then the wife drew near and strove to
comfort him, and the son, who had been
reading the WILL attempted a word or two
of consolation.
And with the dollar in his hand he sank
into death, talking of stock, rent, copper
mines, and camels, and OF tenants and
debtors, until the breath left him. IHus
he died
When he was cold, the preacher rose
and asked The lawyer whether the deceas-
ed had left anything to such and such a
charitable society, which had been engraf-
ted upon the preachers churh.
And his wife closed his eyes and tried
10 wrench the dollar from his hand but in
vain. He cIulched it as tho it were the
only saviour TO light him thro' the darkness
of eternity.
And the son sat down with dry eyes
and thought OF the hundreds of thousands
which were now his own.
Next day there was hearse followed
by large train of carriages nearly half a
mile III length. There was crowd around
an open grave, and an elegant sermon up
OH the virtues Of the deceased, was given
by the preacher.
There was futtering of Grape badges,
and rolling Of carriages and-no tears
They left the dead man and returned to
the place, where sorrow died even as the
Grape was taken from the door knob,
And in the grave the dead hand still
clutches the dollar.-Uhite Banner.

Young men are, in general, but little
aware how much their reputation is affect
ed in the public view by the company
they keep. The character of their asso-
ciates is soon regarded as their own. If
they seek the society of the worthy, it ell
eyates them in the public estimation, as it
is All evidence they respect others. On
the contrary, intimacy with persons of
bad character always sinks young man
in the eye of the public.
