eB- The following, from the Springfield
Republican, should be caution to Mrs. Ruth
Partington to look to her laurels. Hear Mrs
Cubbage on organs and organists: "Dear mel"
exclaimed Mrs. Cubbage, as she returned
from church last Sunday, "dear me! this is an
age of conventions. When | was girl Or
gans were in their infancy. A forerunner
used to turn the crank, and a little monkey
take the pennies. But now an organist pre-
sides over the estimate, while the deacon
takes up constitution. Oh, you should hear
the fellow perform one of his closing volup-
tuaries, when he pulls out all the stopples,
and plays on the pedar base SO loud as to jar
the confagration as they pass out of their
respective places of abodement"

rw-The Baltimore Patriot speaks in high

rR' The Baltimore Patriot speaks in high
ly complimentary terms of the newly elected
"Know Nothing" Mayor of Norfork. 1t says
If the invisible Reformers shall continue to
secure the services of men as free of all moral
reproach, and as thoroughly identified with
the popular interest as Mr.. Stubbs, who was
recently elected Mayor of Norfork, we shall
begin TO believe that they belong to that USE
ful class of fairies called Brownies, who build
the fires, sweep the house, and do all the
useful labors of the household whilst the
family are asleep. They resemble also those
mischievous spirits who, in "Mid summers
Night, Dream" disturb the dreams of wrong
doers In this capacity we expect that the
office-hoders, who hold by the tenure of par.
ty services, are greatly troubled with dreams
of discharge and decapitation.

Bombardmem Of San Juan.-The steamer
Illinois has arrived from Chagres with mil
lion. The Illinois brings intelligence that
the sloop-ofwar Cyane having demanded
from the authorities of San Juan, satisfaction
fer the insult to the American Minister, Mr..
Borland, and an apology being refused, the
town was bombarded on the l4th inst. The
people of San Juan, spunk to the last, still
refused to apologize, when the bombardment
was continued, and every house in the town
destroyed.
The cholera has broken out at Niagara
Falls, and l3 deaths occurred from that dis
ease yesterday. The people were flying from
the place in every direction.
II is stated that the next steamer from Eu-
rope will bring a Commissioner from the
Emperor of Russia, to negotiate with our
Government for the sale of Culka, and other
Russian territory on the American conti-
nent.

bic, though not unparalleled, occurrence
which took place in the family of a gentle.

not yet awakened and was dreaming. But

family of the death of young lad named
"Johnny," who had lived in Chardon, and was

Gas WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS"
mere lad, we were struck with the remark
of an eminent physician, and have thought of
it hundreds of times since. His collector, in
making returns, reported as valueless an &c.
account against a gentleman who had recently
failed in business.
"The bill is good 70, nothing" said the
collector. "M- has sunk everything, and
is now with his family on the world penniless"
The physician took the bill, quietly tore it
in pieces, and then, turning to the unfortu-
nate debtors account, wrote across t-"set-
tied"
"Rather losing business, that" remarked
the collector.
81 hope to be able to say the Lords Prayer
as long as live" was the physicians calm
reply. "Forgive us our debts as we forgive
our debtors" When we say that prayer, my
friend, il bchooves us to look into our hearts,
and ask ourselves hop we forgive our debtors.
"With what measure you mete it shall be
measured to you again."

how politicians of the same school can diff.
fer: .,.s
"An amusing illustration of 'strict con-
struction' was recently furnished by the
Washington Union. On one day it publish
ed the remarks of Senator Clay, of Ala, on
one side of the land question, and on the
next day it published the speech OF Mr.
Brooks, offs C., on the opposite side of the
question. Both of these gentlemen are known
strict constructionists, and they both justify
their views by the strict construction Of the
Constitution

RAILROAD CoLLTsIoNs.-As the season Of
summer travel comes round railrond murder
becomes fashionable. BY singular fatality
such monster accidents as that on the Susque-
hanna Railroad almost invariably occur in
summer, when crowds Of travellers are has
tening from the haunts of toll to the recrea-
tiops of seaside and mountain. At rare in
tervals we hear of freight trains running into
each other, but by far the greater number of
collisions are between passenger cars rushing
at enormous speed around dangerous curves
or across bridges yawning with an open
draw. The season has hardly begun, and for
this reason the public is shocked with the
magnitude of the initiatory assacre.-Phila-

and experienced farmers as pretty sure
remedy for the "potato" rot: Select n suitable

manure as highly as possible--it doesn't mat

the rest--plant ,cith Indian corn.

first time she was kissed by "feller," she
felt like a big tub of roses swimming in hon.
ey, cologne, nutmeg, and checkerberries.-
She also felt as If something was running

corted by several little cupids in chariots
drawn by angels, shaded by honeysuckles,
the whole spread by melted rainbows. Je-
rusalem! what power there is in full-breast-

Mr.. PETIT, OF INDIANA.-The New York
Evening Post, a leading Democratic paper, Of
Free Soil stripe, speaking Of recent debate
in the U. s. Senate, says
If the lowest rum-holes which have been
closed under the operation of the liquor law
had been emptied into the Senate chamber, it
could be understood how such n thorough
black guard as Petit, of Indiana, should have
got there. But that the Legislature of any
State should have sent him there is incom-
prehensible.

IDoLATRY IN JAPAN--An officer in the u.
S. frigate Powhattan, writing from Japan,
says:-"Idolatry is everywhere to be seen,
even more than in China, and statuary seems
to be very common. The graveyards are full
of rude sculptures, and images of gods and
heroes, placed there as tutelar guardians on
the tomb-stones, or for some such purpose.
Tibetan letters and sentences are used as
charms about the graves, no one knowing at
all what they mean; if they were intelligible,
the charm would be broken. Temples are
common, and wayside divinities present their
weather beaten faces every few rods.

PREVALENCE OF FBALDNEss.-Baldness seems
to befal much younger men than it did thirty
or forty years ago. A very observent halter
informed us, short time since, that he i'm
agned much of il was owing to the common
habit of wearing silk hats, which, from their
impermeabilty to the mir, keep the head at a
much higher temperature than the old beaver
structures which, he also Informed US, went
out principally because he had used up all the
beavers in the Hudson Bay Company's terri
tories. The adoption Of silk hats has, how
ever, given them time, 1t seems to replenish
the breed. This fact affords a singular in
stance of the influence of fashion upon the
animals of a remote continent. II would be
more singular still if the silk-bat theory Of,
badness has any truth in it, MS il would then
turn out that we were sacrificing our own
natural nap in order that the beaver may re-
cover his. Without endorsing the specula-
tive opinion of our halter, we may, we believe,
state it as well ascertained circumstance,
that soldiers in hemetted regimentals are of.

As it has got its branches above the waves,

And from the rain gave shelter to duck;
Who to limping dog once lent his arm,

Nor cen to lifeless things respect did lack,
Said always to chair, excuse my back
Excuse my curiosity, he said to books, -,
And to the looking glass, excuse my looks. ,"

PROPHECY AND THE WAR,

The author of recent work, "The Apo
calypose Unveiled" after showing that the
irruption Of the Turks into Europe and their
conquest of Constantinople fulfilled the
prophecy of the fall of the star that burneth
as lamp, next shows that the overthrow Of
the Turkish dominion will fulfill another
prophecy, which says: "And the sixth angel
poured out his vial in the great river Eu-
pirates, that the way of the Kings of the
East might be prepared" . .'
He says that "Russia will be the power
which will bring about the drying up of the
Euphrates. Turkey will become so broken
down by the power of Russia pressing upon
her, and will become so impoverished in her
finances and so reduced and wasted in her
political strength, as to be unable to sustain
herself at all without rslinQuishing some por-
tion of her dominions for pecuniary con.
sideration. Perhaps Judea will in this way
be sold to the Jews, to meet demands which
Turkey can meet in no other way"
According to the views, which the author
has expressed on this subject, much of the
Turkish Empire will not fall as the star did,
by the shocks of war; but will be wasted
away by the enormous expenses created in
efforts to sustain herself The expenses of
her allies, too, will exceed even her owp, and
when all come to be settled up there really
seems to be nothing left for the Euphrates
but to be dried up; which literally understood,
means appropriated or parceled out in por-
tions amongst the billigerents. Where the
carcass is there will the eagles be gathered
together.
