upon recelAlng tss nomination, In the convention
Of lsAS, in consequence OF thair submitting to the
defeat of their expecta tons in 1874 and of the sup
port which they then gave to Mr.. Polk. They were
disappointed again, and they now resolved on satis
faction. Mr.. Van Buren, accordingly created great
detection in the democracy, by joining with the
aboltionists on the general question Of free
soilism. In that election the free soil party al
stracted nearly three hundred thousand votes, prn
cipaly from the democratic party, through the infu

State Of New York This detection and bolt

of his whole life, and contrary to the expectation of
his Southern friends, General Taylor, with all his
military popularity, never could have been elected
President Of the United States In every contest in
This country in which the Presidency is involved it
viii be seen that the principles by which it has been
decided have been something deeper, wider spread
and altogether Of different character from that Of
mere military availability. Gen. jackson, defeated
in 1924, was elected in 1923 by combination of the
democratic factions under his name. Gen. Harrison.

causes, operating against Mr.. Van Buren, in that
year; and Gen Taylor, with military popularity

elected to the Presidency in 1sis by the detection
Of Mr.. Van Buren, and his friends, combined with
the abolition vote Of the Northern States

the opposite direction. Tins fright
had cleared away his intoxica,ion, and
he soon arrived ut the lane TINT led to
the house, but by this time he was
dry. and concluded to 60 back to the
tavern. just rs he turned in that di-
rcction, he heard the voice issuing
from The tree before him:
"Hoot, toot--awah, avail! Atthe
same moment, he saw the white form
and the soggling eyes among the bran
ches.
Tins heart was touched. :" 1t is =

g it's terrible warning, and I'll go
home.
This he did, and such was the effect
that he never swallowed u drop Of
spirits from that time, and when ho

that he had heard u temperance lec-
turer in the woods, saying, Turn "a

ToTTERIyG TIM AND THE GHOST.

There was once man whose name
was Timothy, but from the effects Of
his incorporate habits, his walk was
unsteady and childlike. for which rea-
son he got the name of Tottering Tim.
One cold winters night, Tim went
to the tavern as usual, and drank SO
much that he became quite merry. 1t
was late at night, and the ground was
covered with snow when he set out for
home, not doubling that he would get
there somehow, as he had often done
before but when h" ramo 70 the lane
that turned up To tue i.ou,'-. to his as
tonishment his little brown house ap-
peared to be double. and he took it
for two houses.
Faith" said he, "I thought l had
got almost home, but here / am, only
half way for there are the two houses
of Squire Smith and Captain Nash
It's bitter cold; but courage, Tim,
courage, 60 ahead--that, that's the
music :" saying which, he left the lane
and plodded on, expecting TO find his
his house further along.
He walked on for half an hour, till
he found himself in a broad, open
space, with only two or three small
cedar trees in the centre. By this
time the liquor had got into his head,
and he was quite tired and bewildered
He fancied that he had found the place
where his house had been situated, but
unaccountably, it was gone. He was
gazing about in wonder, when terri
BILE noise seemed to issue from the air
"Hoot, toot, toot !--awah, awah =
cree-e-e.e!" said the voice.
"What in the name of Ned, is that?"
said Tim, trem bling from head to foot.
HOot, toot, toot--awah, awah J"
was the reply.
"Turn about, 20 away is that what
you say, Mister?" said Tim. At the
same time he looked up to the bran
ches of the trees, where he saw a
white object, with large goggling eyes.
To Timothy's excited imagination, it
appeared like man dressed in Il white
sheet; so he took it to be ghost.
Hoot, toot--awah, awah" said
the ghost.
"I'm goin, I'm gciu,' said Tim in

THE DDIN IOUNT.


A wand'rer lone and weary
Cross DER forest wild
The travelled way was dreary.
But here : the desert smiled:
And thoughtlessly she trifled
Amid the cool green bowers,
Till every nook was riAed
To fnd sweet hidden flowers.
Then resting from her wandring,
Weary from toll and thirst.
She slept, while vainly pondring,
How were those fowrets nursedt'
The far blue sky was sleeping,
Forgetting dew or showers,
And a moss grown Rock was keeping
Stern vigil Ger the flowers.
No fountain dashing Ger them,
Gave brightness to their sheen
No streamlet broke before them,
The smooth undinted green.
But still that maiden. dreaming,
Heard murmuring music play,
As were sweet waters streaming,
Meath where her dream couch lay
She dreamed that Rock had hidden
A deep-fed well-spring's play,
And fain would she have children
The heart.f1int seal away;
She waked-a fountain, swelling
Had burst the Rock apart,
And thence sweet strea ms were welling
Their for icas Ger her heart.

and then ponders over the name of an
old friend, and tries to persuade him
self that he is younger, and stronger,
and has better hold upon life than
any of his cotemporaries.
I Months pass: He gradually dimin-
ishes the circle of his activity. He
dislikes to go abroad where he finds
SO many new faces and he grieves to
meet his former companions after a
short absence, they seem TO have grown
so old and infrm. Quiet enjoyments
only are relished, a little conversation
about old times; a sober game at
whist a religious treatise, and his
early bed, form for him the ssm total
Of his early pleasures.
Weeks pass: Infrmity keeps him in
his chamber. His walks are limited
to the small space between his easy
chair and his bed. His swollen limbs
are wrapped in fannels. His sight is
failing; his ears refuse their duty, and
his cup is but half filled, since other.
wise, his shaking hand cannot carry it
to his shrunk lips without spilling its
contents. His powers are weakened
his faculties blunted his strength is
lost
Days pass The old man does not
leave his bed; his memory is failing;
he talks but cannot be understood he
asks questions, but they relate to the
transactions of a former generation
he speaks of occurrences, but the re-
collection of no one around him can
60 back TO their scenes; he seems to
commune with comrades, but when he
names them, it is found that the waters
of time and oblivion have long coyer>
ed their tombs.
Hours pass: The taper grows dim
mer and DINNER; the machinery moves
yet more and more slowly; the sands
are fewer as they measure the allotted
span The motion Of those about him
is unheeded or becomes a vexation.
Each fresh inquiry after his health is
a knell. The springs Of life can no
longer force on its wheels the "silver
chord" is fast untwisting; the pitcher
is broken at the fountain; and time
sis a burd,n His children are
about him, but he heeds them not; his
friends are near, but he does not re-
cognize them. The circle is compile
ted. The course is run; and utter
weakness brings the damp, which ush-
ers in the night of death
Minutes pass: His breathing grows
softer and lower-his pulse beats fain-
ter and feebler. Those around him
are listening, but cannot tell when
they cease The embers are burnt
out; and the blaze flashes not before
it expires. His "three score years
and ten " are numbered. Human life

INCREDIBLE PUNISHMENT.

"a great book is great evil," says
an ancient writer an axiom which an
unfortunate Russian author felt to his
cost:
"Whilst / was at Moscow" says q
traveller, ga quarto volume was pub
lished in favor of the liberties of the
people; singular subject. when we
consider the place where the book was
printed. In this work, the iniqui,ous
venality of the public functionaries,
and even the conduct Of the sovereign.
was scrutinized and eensured with
great freedom. Such a book, and in
such country,naturally attracted gen.
eral notice; and the offender was ta-
ken into custody After being tried
in summary way his production was
termed to be libel, and he was con-
demned to eat his own works. The
singularity Of such sentence, induced
me to see it put into execution. A
scaffold was erected in one of the most
public streets in the city; the imperial
provost, the magistrates. physicians,
and the Car attended; the book was
separated from the binding, the mar
gin cut of, and every leaf rolled up
like lottery ticket when taken out of
the wheel The author was then
served with them, leaf by leaf, by the
provost, who put them into his mouth,
to the no small diversion Of the specta-
tors and he was Obliged to swollow
this unpalatable food, on pain of the
knout, in Russia more feared than
death. AS soon as the medical gentle
men were Of the opinion that he had
received into his stomach, as much at
a time as was consistent with its safety
the transgressor was sent back to pri-
son, and the business was resumed the
two following days. After three
hearty but very unpleasant meal',
am convinced, by ocular proof, that
every leaf of the book was actually
swallowed. ."-Prisoner's Friend
