The Patriot puts, ,he joint liabilities OF the

To the Readers Of the Patriot.
When commenced my connection with the

purposes, In the first place, thought my con.

Downfall of ROYALTY.

The Olive Branch tells the following
good story: One day when the flag shil
of an American Commodore was lying il
the bay of Naples, she was honored by a
visit from the King and royal family with
suite, VINO came out in gilded barges and
the full parade of royalty. The ship was
dressed from deck to truck in holiday at
tire; side-boys were mustered at the ropes,
the marines presented arms, the guns
thundered forth royal salute, and the
Commodore welcomed his guests to the
quarterback with the politeness beftting
an officer of rank.
One Of the suite, aspindle-shanked and
guadily attired Neapolitan, stayed away
from the party, and cruising about mid
ships, espied windsail, an object he had
never seen before. As it was fully e1-
parded by the air, he took it for a pillar,
and folding his arms leaned against it,
when it yielded to his weight, and he dis
appeared below, heels over head, with a
velocity that was actually marvellous, as
was his escape from any injury. The mis-
hap CHANGED to have only one witness.
This was veteran tar, who, approaching
the quarterback, and touching his hat,
said, respectfully: II beg pardon Com
modorc, but one of them are kings has fell
down the hatchway'

Arrest of Capital Punishment.

Passing up Orange street the other day,
our attention was attracted to boy who
was climbing up lamp post, endeavoring
to pass the end of the rope, which was at
tached to the neck Of s terrier dog, over
the horns on which the lamplighter rests
his ladder, when lightingthe lamp. There
were some half dozen ragged urchins
around cheering him. An old gentlemen
present, supposing foul play, asked the lit.
tie fellow what be was going to do with
the dog.
"Hang the sucker, he's bin q nur.
derin," said the excited boy.
Numbering what asked the old
man.
"Vhy, Jakey Babcock's pet rat, whs'
Le cotched ven they tore down the old
buildin."
"Oh, don't hang him for that" pleaded
the old man; "it is bis nature to kill rats;
besides he looks like good dog; if you
wish to get rid of him I'll take him along
with me"
go! it can't be, daddy; he's internal
scoundril, and the jury brought him in
guilty, and he's got his sentence, and you
can bet your life I'll hang him"
"Jury what jury"
Why, our jury them fellers there
sitting on that cellar door They tried
him this mornin', and Bob Linkets SEN
fenced him to be hung. That's right, amt
it, daddy? 1t was all on the square. 1
was the lawyer against the dog, and Joe
Beecher was fur him, but his arguments
vus knocked all to thunder when brought
the murdered body inter court. 1t took
EN- all down. They all guv in that l was
rite. He amt worth a rusty nail now, but
as soon as he's dead he's worth fifty cents,
'cordin to law, at the city hall, and we
want the money for 4th July"
The old gent seem surprised at the logic
ofthe boy, but was about entering another
plea for the condemned, when the scene
was interrupted by the arrival of the owner
of the dog, "a stout Irishman, who soon
dispersed judge, jury, executioner, and
rescued the trembling culprit.-N O.

The Family Opposed to Newspapers

The man that don't take his county
paper was in town yesterday. He brougk:
his whole family in a two horse wagon.
He still believed that General Taylor was
President, and wanted to know if the
Demonstrations" had taken Cuba, and if
so, phere they had taken it. He had sold
his corn for twenty-five cents-the price
being thirty -one-but upon going to de-
posite the money, they told him it was
mostly counterfeit. The only hard money
he had was some three cent pieces, and
those some sharper had "run on him" for
half dimes! His old lady smoked " cob
pipe" and would not believe that anything
else could be used. One Of the boys went
to blacksmith's shop to be measured for
a pair of shoes, and another mistook the
market house for church. After hang
ing his hat on a meat hook, he piously
took seat on butchers stall land listened
to an auctioneer, whom he took to be the
preacher. He left before "meetin' was
out" and had no great opinion Of the
"sarmint."
One of the girls took lot of "seed
onions" to the post Office to trade them for
letter. She had baby, which she car
ried in a sugar trough, stopping at times
to rock it on the sidewalk When it cried,
she stuffed its mouth with an old stocking,
and sang "Barbara Allen" The oldest
bow had sold two "coon skins" and was
on "bust." When last seen, he had
called for glass Of "sody and water, 'and
stood soaking gingerbread and making wry
faces. The shop keeper, mistakipg his
meaning, had give him q mixture Of sal
Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1851-07-09

soda and water, and it tasted strongly Of
soap. But he'd hearn tell of sody and
water, and was bound to give it q fair
trial, puke Or no puke." Some town fel-
low came in and called for lemonade with
"Ay in it," whereupon our soaped'
friend turned his back and quietly wiped
several flies into his drink.
We approached the old gentleman and
tried to get him to " subscribe" but he
would not listen to it. He was opposed
to "internal improvements" and he tho't
.larnin' was wicked invention, and cul-
terwaten nothin' but vanity and we1ation-" "
None of his family ever learned to read,
but one boy, ,and he "teached school awhile,
and then went to studying divinity"

A New Hampshire Boy.

A lad between II and IL years old
made his appearance in Newburypor,
market one day last week, with load Of
sixty barrels, which he brought from
Chester, N. H., distance of Is miles.
Arriving late in the afternoon, and not
finding purchaser readily, he embarrassed
his horses and put up at the hotel until
morning, when he disposed Of his barrels,
took the money and started for home. On
being asked if he had ever been in town
before, he replied that he had, when ha
was LILLE boy. II is easy to predict th,,
he will be man when he grows up.

threw it to the ground. 1t measured "a
feet in girth, and was found to be 2s3
years old. A piece of it was sent home to
the Penn family, by whom it was mounted
on pedestal with appropriate inscriptions;
and the remainder was manufactured into
vases, workstands, and other relics now
held sacred by their possessors. A plain
monument has since been erected on the
spot, inscribed on each face with four
short and simple sentences commemorative
of the Great Treaty.

Honesty.

A singular error has occurred in the ac
counts of the late General Treasurer Of
Rhode Island. The Providence Journal
says that he finds in his possession five thou
sand dollars, of which he has no account,
which he is sure does not belong to him,
and which must therefore belong to the
State, to which he passes it over

MUSINGS

Though flakes of snow fall thick and fast
Against the window pane,
And spread sheet of ghostly white
Across the dreary main
Though all without is bleak and chill
In the fierce tempest's blast,
And wild the wind moan round our homo
As swift it rushes past
Yet, lads our hearth WITHIN Is bright,
The fire leaps up on high,
The cracking logs send loads of sparks
That cheer both you and l.
Though clouds above are ebon black,
And frown on all below,
Yet do We know they must ore long
From Summers sunshine 20.
Though sorrows may our bosoms pierce,
And stubborn griefs reveal,
Though bow must-our hearts shall lie
As firm as solid steel.
Esrth's chastened sons are often blessed,
Fen though life's dreary road
May seem beset with trials hard
Which nought but gloom forboie-
Jet, in the furnace Of the heart,
Where the fire slowly burns,
The metal and the dross is tried,
And purest gold returns.
Each kindly word-each friendly hand
That here to us is given
Each best advice, in season told,
May help us all TO Heaven.

Fourth of July Songs

We come with hearts Of gladness,
To breathe our songs OF praise,
lie, not nole Of sadness
Be blended in the lays;
For It's hallowed story,
The theme Of freedoms birth.
Our fathers deeds OF glory
Are echoed round The earth.
The sound is waxing stronger.
And thrones aud nations hear,
Kings may opPress no longer
For freedoms reign is near;
Her reign will crush oppression,
And raise the humble mind,
And give the earlh's possession
Among the good and k'nd.
And then shall sink the mountains
Where pride and power were crowned
And peace, like gentle fountains,
Shall shed its puxeness round;
And then the world will hear US,
And Join our glorious lay,
And songs of millions cheer US,
On this our nations day.
Soon freedoms loud hosannas
Shall burst f-om every voice,
Till mountains and savannas
Roll back the soant-rejoice!
Then raise the song Of freedom,
The loudest, Sweetest strain,
The captve's chains are rsea,
And Liberty shall reign.
