DIcKEY AND SUsEY.-Dickey was poor,
Susey had rich mother; Dickey loved Su-
sey, and uiee versa; Dickey wanted to marry
Susey. but Susey's mother was down on b
that measure; Dickey was forbid the premi-
SEES; notes were exchanged through knot
hole in the high board fence that enclosed
the yard. One day the old lady went out
"cailing,D and Dickey was duly informed of
the fact; called on Susey; remained little
too long; old lady was close at hand; no
chance Of escape without detection, that's
almost certain; at the instance OF Susey
Dickey popped into the closet; old lady saw
that Susey looked confused; guessed that
Dickey had been about, but supposed, OF
course, he had made good his escape !;
thought perhaps the young couple had
agreed to elope together; determined to be
too smart for them accordingly shut Susey
up in the same closet where Dlckey was
concealed, and giving her pair of quilts
and pillow. locked her up for the night !;
didn't see Dickey; next morning went to
the closet to let Susey out:
20, Lord!" a scream; couldn't get breath
for moment. Finally
"Ahem! Dickey, is that you?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Ahem! ahem! well, Dickey-" ..s..,.
" Susey, dear, go and see about breakfast"
Exit Suseyl
"Well, Dickey."
"Well, ma'am."
"Dickey, you must stay to breakfast"
Couldn't ma'am."
"Oh, but you must"
Dickey concluded TO stay.

THE STARS AND STRIPES AT QuEBEc.-The
workmen employed on the Plains Of Abraham
preparing for the approaching Agricultural Ex-
hibition there, were DESTROYS to manifest their
loyalty, and at the same tiEse pay acompliment
to Gov. Elgin, on his way lately to open the
Canadian Parliament. For that purpose they
hoisted flag Immediately on the approach Of
his Lordships' cartfage. All parties were sur
prised to find the American flag floating at the
mast head, and that the British Governor passed
under its shadow to represent the Queen. It
seems the ominous flag had been brought down,
with others, from Montreal for the exhibition,
and that in the hurry Of the moment, The work
men had run up the stars and stripes.

10 It is stated as d singular fact, that
Vevay, in Indiana, is the only town on the
Ohio river where 4 case of cholera has
never occurred. There is not well in the
place, and the inhabitants use cistern water
altogether. In thismanner they account for
the abuve. There may be some truth in II,
too; for when this town Franklin} was
visited with cholera, In i84e, the inhabitants
used river water, and the disease was very
fatal but for many years past we have used
cistern wafer exclusively, and have not
been afflicted with the disease, though il
traversed the country round.

ENOUGH AND TO SpARE.-The editor of the
New York Mirror, who has travelled much in
the West recently, writes thus cheeringly:
Clears of general lack of food are entirely
groundless. There is corn in Egypt when there
is famine in Palestine In all our Western and
Southern States the harvests are more abundant
this year than ever before. In Ohio and Illinois
there will be a surplus of wheat sufficient to
supply in all the other States; in comparison
with the broad fields of the West, New England
is but pea patch True, there will be less
grain to export, which should be offset by a
lighter importation of Injuries, and more
restricted consumption Of whiskey. If the poor
laborer indslit difficult to earn money enough to
pay for his bread, let him abandon the use Of
that which makes bread dear. 1t is wiser to
send corn to the mill than to the distillery; and
it is better to send children to the bakers with
a basket than to rum hole with a Jug Con-
sidering the base wicked abuse of Nature-the
conversion of grain into rum-the casting of
children's bread to the dogs, the only wonder is
that instead Of short crops Nature does not
become so disguised with the whole human race
as to give us no crops at ALL

CAUSES FOR INsAN1rY.-A report recently is
sued by DR.. Blanchard, the superintendent of
the Kings County IN. Y. Lunatic Asylum, de-
velopes some interesting facts in relation to the
causes of insanity. 1t would seem that of the
three hundred inmates of the Asylum, eighteen,
including seven men and eleven women, lost
their sanity from events moving the affections,
and ten, comprising seven men and three women,
from events connected with the intellect One
man and two women were crazed by disappointed
love; and one man and three women by jealousy.
Insanity was occasioned in three men and three
women by uncomfortable temper; also in three
men and three women by religious enthusiasm.
Dissipation destroyed the reason of twelve men
and eleven women. Fifteen housekeepers and
fourteen domestic servants were among the un-
fortunates bereft of reason-showing dffe-
renee of only one to prove that the housekeeper
has the harder lot of the two. The loss Of a
daughter caused the insanity of one woman, and
the loss of wife occasioned the same result in
one man. The only person rendered insane by
fright was a man.

ED1T1KG A NEWSPAPER The following
sensible remarks from the National Intelli
gencer are transferred TO our columns for the
benefit Of those whom they concern: .
Many people estimate the ability of a
newspaper, and the industry and talent of its
editor, by the. editorial matter it contains.
Ii is comparatively an easy task for frothy
writer 10 pour out his columns OF words
words upon any and all subjects. His ideas
may flow in. one wishy,-washy everlasting
food, and his command Of language may
enable him 10 string them together like
punches Of onions. and yet his paper may be
a meagre and poor concern. But what is
the toll Of that man, who displays his loaded
matter largely, 10 that imposed on a judi
cious well-infofmed editor, who exercises
his vocation with an hourly consciousness
Of his responsibilities and duties, and devotes
himselfto the conducting OF his paper with
the care and assiduity that sensible law
yer bestows upon suit, or a humane
physician upon a patient, without regard to
show or display Indeed the mere writing
part Of editing paper is small portion OF
the work. The care, the time employed IN
selecting, is far more important, and the
tact of good editor is better known BY his
selections than anything else, and that we
know is half the battle. But, as we have
said, an editor ought 10 be estimated, and
his labors understood and appreciated, by
the general conduct of his paper-its tone,
its tenn per, its uniform, consistent course, its
principles and aims in manliness, its dignity
and propriety To preserve these as they
should be preserved, is enough to fully oc-
cupy the time and attention of any man. If
to this be added the general supervision Of
the newspaper establishment, which most
editors have to encounter, the great wonder
is how they find time 10 write at all.

PROGRESS OF CANT AND FANATIc1sM.-Re-
formed drunkards, gamblers, &C., have figured
SO proftably before the public that numbers are
tempted to 90 into these branches and qualify.
The area, too, of reformation is widening with
the demands of the public, Mr. Samuel Head,
"the reformed burglar and robber," an accom-
plice of the notorious Henry Wyatt, and leader
of the gang headed by John A. Murrell, who
has spent twelve years of his life in the prisons
of the different States of the Union, is now
lecturing to crowded houses in the county of
Livingston, IN. " The Rochester Democrat
announces that the great reformed and most
illustrious lecturer intends to favor that city
with a visit, land deliver course of lectures
in which he will give his views on the present
prison discipline andmanagement. He will also
give true history of his crimes committed in
this and the Western States. ALBANY 4zas.
