rThe humbuggcry of newspa

UThe humbuggcry of newspa-
pers, is proverbial; it is only out
equalled by the audacity of quack
medicine makers. The latter are not
satisfied with their own mawkish adj
vertisemeuts, but send their agents
about the country with books of ster-
otyped puffs, that are paid for and in
serted as the spontaneous effervescence
of the editors own brain.
The plan is, the editor receives, say
20 different forms Of pufs, which he
is to insert at intervals-and he is to
place them the first thing on the first
column Of his paper, and lead them
as he does bis own thoughts 50 that

RAIL RoAD MEETING AT DENMARK.

RAIL RoAD MEETING AT DENMARK.
The first intimation we have that
there is any such place as Denmark
on the map Of this country, is that
there is to be RAILROAD meeting"
there. The place is in Tennessee.
We are not informed as to where the
railroad is to run; this is of but small
Importance, since in. going out it can
not get far. without coming in contact
with some other railroad. The great
West, as it is called, is great place

run into one other. We pause to con-

Eg From hasty glance into some
of the anti-rooms of the State Capitol
we should say that the broom and the
brush, with soap and sand, would add
much to the appearance OF that beau
tiful edifice. The meeting OF Conven-
tons in the Hall is visible, and tn"
proverbial peculiarities Of Brother
Johnathan, sustained by the evidences
of tobacco juice, whiting, and the fag
ends ofregalias. A man who lays any
CLAIM to decency, who will throw his
quid on beautiful carpet like that
was once, in the Hall Of the House, or
who will set in corner and squirt
his tobacco JUICE on the mouldings Of
PANEL work, should be as unceremon-
iouslv removed, as his counterpart the
the small cur dog. We notice that some
of our great and very distinguished
politicians when they are honored with
a seat in the Hall, hunt ma
hogany desk wherein to cock their
legs, which being in immediate con-
nection with the bladder, is the most
important part about them, and should
therefore be kept most prominent
We would not charge them with van
ity in wanting to be conspicuous; no,
they merely wish to show their con-
freres, in the lobby Of the House,
that they are there"

THE DEAD ALlvE.--A little girl
about ten years Of age, the daughter
Of ore Of our most esteemed citizens
was taken sick a few days ago, and
on Monday evening, to the poignant
grief Of her parents, apparently died.
The usual preparations were made,
the room darkened, and the body en-.
closed in shroud, with the intention
OF burying it yesterday afternoon.
But on yeterday morning the appa-
rently dead girl revived, and terribly
frightened at the situation in which
she found herself, with cries alarmed

The devoted Sister hood.


In a day like this, when 40 much 10
said about charity and benevolencc,
and 20 many new organizations are
taking place, tho object Of which is
ayowedly to ameliorate the condition
Of man; it does ms no little pleasure TO
step aside, from the mere pretsching
Of the mob, to contemplate the charac-
ter Of single individual, who alone,
and unaided--and without the desire
Of attracting attention, silently admin
listers that comfort which the tongue
alone can give, when moved by a good
heart in the eloquence Of sincerity
When we look down into the dark
pail Of night, and the sombre robes Of
mourning in which the weeping city,
is at present clothed; we imagine we
can see, those ministeriDg angels, ''thc
devoted sisterhood" as they fit to and
fro, in the sombre robes of their order,
administering to the wants Of the
friendless stranger, such comfort and
consolation, as robs death Of its terror.
What picture is more enervating and
enobling than this To behold the
devoted sister---the sincere follower Of
the precepts Of our holy writ---the
delicate and sensitive female with
"silken nerves" as contrasted with the
iron muscles Of msn-who is no! rs il
would seem, designed by nature for
such service; when we find her sacri-
ficing not ouly the bosom other family
but her very name itself, how can
we Withhold our humble need of pas ?
Here is courage-here is bravery that
puts to the blush the vaulting ambition
of man; who seeks appreciation and
applause, and immortality by riding
through the blood of a battle field!
Seek where you will, and none can
be found to take the place OF the
SISTERS" in the practice Of those vir-
tues for which the Saviour of man,
was crucified.
1t has been our painful duty Of late
TO notice the death of two or three OF
the fraternity who have fallen prey
to the terrific malady at that fostering
cauldron of death--the Charity Hospi-
tai. Does this appal them! No. still
are thew to be found at the death bed
untiring in their angelic mission
The Great Power above us, looks not
down, upon them, with calous eye
their names are registered in the
brightest page Of life, in the Great
Record of Heaven.

New SILVER ColN.-The Director
Of the Mint at Philadelphia, under the

posed to forward to him, before the
first day of October next, such designs
as they may deem appropriate to that
