In neighboring county, the Democrats

it of holding their count, nominating con-
ventions at the house of stauch old Deu.

the first time, to be in when they had
finished their business, and heard ht,lO

"Sine die,'' said Mr.. G.. to q person
standing near, -" where is that?'
"Why-that's way up in the northern
part of the county," said his neighbor.
"Hold or, if you please, Mr.. Cheer

emphasis hold on, sir. I'd ike to be
heard on that question. I have kept
public house now for morn twenty years.
I'm poor man. I've always been Dem

This is the most central location in tbs

In the course of the morning, Tom was
called before the firm, and in glowing terms
we're the advantages set forth, if he could
only have spoken the language of the coun-
try they wished him to go to. Tom listened
with delight, and inwardly chuckled at the
surprise lie would give them.
"Of course, said one of the firm, "you
should have the situation, if you could only
speak French; but as you can not, we shall
have to employ some one else. Very sor-
ry, great pity, "&c.
"Well," said Tom, dit can't be helped,
and there is no time, I suppose, to study
now, so must just do the best I can. Mr..
Toutette, shall you and l have q little chat,
and perhaps l may pass muster"
Mr.. Toutette and Tom entered into an
animated conversation, very much to the
surprise Of all present, which having been
kept up, in double quick time, for some
fifteen minutes, Mr.. Toutette very candid
ly told his partners that Tom was fully
competent for the place.
Tom was great favorite, and the firm
were heartily glad that he was capable of
holding the situation; and he was instruct
ed to prepare himself for departure by the
next steamer, with the privilege Of peeping
into the Worlds Fair.
Tom now returned to his friend, who
met him with right good ha, ha, ha!
"Well, Tom, no use; told you So"
"Ah," replied Tom, "you are out
this time. My French has been approved
Of, and am done here-I sail in the next
steamer"
"You don't say sol But, Tom, when
did you learn French?'
"When you were teaching Grotto."
A new light flashed across the vision of
Grotto's master. "What" said he, "whilst
I was fooling over that dog, were you stud
ying"
"Just so; and you know with what sue
cess our time has been rewarded"
By the judicious disposal of time, one
young man is on the high road to mercan-
tile fame and fortune, whilst by throwing

An Unbeliever.

1t is said of Miss Harriet Martineau
whose name is now rarely mentioned BY
the press, that when young, she recipro
Gated the affection of most estimablt
young man, and a clergyman. He wa:
suddenly attacked by prevailing fever
and while yet suffering and weak, sealed
letter was put within his hands. 1t was
from the woman be believed the best, the
truest, the fairest in the world, coolly in
forming him that, from prudential conside-
rations, she had concluded to break Of the
match. The young man folded his hands,
groaned, gasped, and fell back a ghastly
corpse.
And this is the woman who has at last
wrecked all her hopes and joys Of the
future, by denying that there is God.
With heart of such adamant-a philoso-
ply SO calculating and freezing, she was
the very one of all others We should expect
to renounce every thing of good report /;
tenderness, there is none in her nature ;
she appears like a stern, high rock, riven
apart from a great mountain, gloomy and
isolated, beneath whose black base no
sweet flowers dare grow, and upon which
nothing rests save the shadow of the
mighty mass frowning down eternally up
on it.
Poor Harriet Martineau! we were lately
reading a little story, long ago from her
pen, in which she paints the beauty Of a
Christian faith, and how it enabled an in
digent, ignorant creature to become the
instrument Of doing incalculable good to
the wicked and vicious surrounding her.
Now she shtinks with horror from the
thought that she ever believed in the re-
formatory power of religion. We do sim
cerely trust that she may return to the old
paths, before she dies; for, strong-hearted
as she may deem herself, there will come
time in which, amid the pangs Of dissolv-
ing nature, she will hear the whispering Of
small, still voice, reiterating again and
again, "am I sure that 1 am right :? am
certain I have not wrecked my soul for
ever !"-Bosson Olive Branch.

IAN Anecdote for Persons Seeking their Fortune.I

IAN Anecdote for Persons Seeking their Fortune.
This caption is applicable to all, but
more especially to youth and the incident
we are about to relate is one Of so forcible
a character that VIC think it will be pro-
ductive of good.
Two young clerks in large American
and French house in Pearl street, were par
ticularly intimate; so much so, that altho'
they boarded in different houses, yet they
were constantly together during the hours
of recreation fron, business.
One of them had been presented with a
little French poodle, and he at once set
about instructing it to perform all those
little tricks for which the breed is famed.
For some days his companion witnessed
his persevering efforts to make "Grotto"
bring his handkerchief, catch pennies, stand
upon his hindlegs, and do many other tri-
fling but amusing tricks. At length he got
tired of being locker on at so much waste
Of time, and resolved that whilst his friend
was being the tutor Of. Grctto, he himself
would be pupil to French teacher, and
endeavor to master the French language by
the time Grotto's education was completed.
Without saying word to his friend, he
commenced Els studies, and beitg diligent,
fast acquired knowledge Of the language !;
he also improved from hearing a good deal
of French spoken in the store, though he
carefully avoided uttering u word. At
length Grctto was finished, and had very
truly acquired knowledge Of an infinite
number of amusing games, and his owner
prided himself no little on his requirements.
The owner Of Grotto was little the SEN
ior in the store of the other, and of course
ranked him in promotions. One morning
he came out of the private room Of the
principal of the firm, and looking very
much downcast, approached his friend.
"Tom," said he, "the firm want to send
one of the clerks this summer to France to
buy goods, and they have offered this chance
to me providing I could speak French
but as sOui' is about the extent Of my
French, it's NO 60 for this child. What q

Kossuth's Address to the Democrats
of MaIseilles,

The London Times, Of the 9th, contains
the letter Of Kossuth to the Prefect of the
Department of Marseilles, on his arrival at
France, asking for free passage to Eng
land for the purpose of placing his children
at school, before taking his departure to
tie United States. The demand being re-
fused, NJ. Kossuth published the following
address ".o the Democrats Of Marseilles :"
"Citizens The Government of the
French Repablic having refused nre per-
mission to traverse France, the people of
Marseilles, yielding to the impulse of one
of those generous instincts Of the French
heart, which are the inexhaustible source
Of the nobleness Of your nation, has hon
ored me by u manifestation honorable for
its motives, manly for its resolution, pea
ceablc in its ardor, and as majestic in its
calmness as nature, the grand image Of
God, before the tempest. I have heard
