More Boiling,

The Perry County Democrat puts in its sub
dued. gentle disclaimer against the course of
the Statesman in de nouncing every one that
does not sustain that paper as 'bolter,' dis
organizer &c. The editor of the Democrat
thinks it hard times when man must be de-
nounced and kicked out as traitor to the par
ty because he cannot sanction the wrongs that
the Statesman perpetrates. He insists that
the printing should have been let out in accor-
dance with the constitution, and also insists
that so believing and saying he shall not con-
sent to be read out of the party,
1t is very interesting and delicate point and
we leave it in the hands of its friends.

Junction RaiIroad-Toletio.

A despatch was received on Saturday from
a citizen of Toledo stating that at a public
meeting held on Friday evening. it was waani-
mously resolved to submit proposition to the
voters of that city. to subscribe stock to the
junction Railroad to the amount ofS1O0,OOO.
1t is thought that the measure will carry BY a
large majority. With the certainty that this
work will go forward to the completion, it is
but natural that our Toledo friends should feel
solicitous to place themselver in an advantage

TO IENNY r..

Give me the EYE whose sunny gleam
Can cheer each hour of sadness,
And brighter make each happy dream,
When all around is gladness;
The eye, whose speaking sparkling glance,
The soul OF love revealing,
Can hold my spirit all-entranced,
And read IFS inmost feeling.
Give me the "voIoE', low, soft, and clear
As streemlet's flow at even,
Whose softest tones comes TO the ear
Like wandering strains of Heaven
A voice whose gently soothing tone
Comes o'er my weary hours,
Like kindness 10 a stranger shown,
Or dew on dropping flowers,
Give me the 'HEART'' that's like foHnt
OF kindness, ever flowing
Pure streams Of Love still gushing out
On all around bestowing!
But let the source be mine alone,
And sealed from ever, otherl
The heart That would call my otpn,
share not with a,lother Z.
