A BEAUTIFUL AND AFFECTING
ScENE.-As the steamer Ben Frank
lin passed the town Of Rising Sun,
Indiana, on her way to Louisville,
with the sacred remains of Henry
Clay on board, thirty-one young la
dies, representing the different States
of the Union, stood in conspicuous
view on the wharf, in front of the
crowd Of citizens that had assem-
bled. All, save one, were dressed in
virgin white, their heads covered
with black wells. The one excepted,
was robed in deep, heavy mourning,
and represented Kentucky, and occu-
pied the centre of the line. How
touchingly beautiful the scene, and
what pride sad pride she must
have felt as in that galaxy of beauty
she found herself the representative
of that State whose broad land, from
one extreme to the other. was be-
dewed with tears. The whole scene
was rendered more excessively sol
emn by the deathly silence that uni
versally prevailed on board the steam
er and on shore, as the vessel foated
noiselessly by, bearing its precious
charge onward to its last repose-

Political Wit.

Our political contemporaries, says the
Portland Transcript, are not very inter-
esting just now. Too many of them are
engaged in the low business Of slang
whanging and personal abuse. There is
remarkable absence of discussion in this
campaign; no principles appear to be at
stake-on the contrary, the stakes seem
to he the principle object in dispute.
We are pleased to see, however,, thar
the dull TRADE of abuse is relieved occa-
sionally 10y gleam at wit. We gladly
record all such instances. When pu!iti-
clans pelt each other with puns, crack
Jokes instead Of sconce., and invent pleas.
ant sayings instead Of lies, we have grea.
hopes of them.
