CHEERFUL HEARTs.-I once heard young lady
say to an individual, "Your cOuntenance to me
is like the rising sun, for it always gladdens me
with a cheerful look"
A merry or cheerful countenance is one of the
things which Jeremy Taylor said his enemies and
prosecutors could not take away from him. There
are some persons who spend their lives as if shut
up in dungeon. Everything is made gloomy and
fOrbidding. They 60 moaning and complaining
from day to day, that they have so little, and are
constantly anxious lest what they have should es-
cape out Of their hands. They always look on
the dark side, and can never enjoy the cheerful;
when its large and benevolent principles are cx-
erted, man will be happy in spite Of himself
The industrious bee does not complain that there
are so many poisonous flowers and thorny branch
es on its road, but buzzcs on, selecting his honey
where he can find it, and passing quietly by the
place where it is not. There is enough in this
world to complain about and find fault with, il
men have the disposition. We often travel ON a
hard and uneven road, but with a cheerful spirit:
a heart to praise God for his mercies, We may
walk therein with comfort, and come to the end
of our journey with pcace.-De,cey.

A WOLF IN SLEEPS CLorHING.-We observe
in the Baltimore Sun, an account of a woman,
calling herself Elizabeth Bushnell, who has been
dupng the good people of that place with an in
genious but fabricated story of her wrongs, and
then leaving, carrying with her certain articles of
clothing, and gold watch and chain. She rep
resented herself as having escaped from the Sha-
kers, where she was prosecuted, and where also
her lover was confined, and whom she expected
soon to meet. Apartments were engaged at Bar
NUNS Hotel, and every attention paid her. She
purchased dresses, gold watch and chain, in the
name of the lady of the house, representing to
her that she was the heir to a large fortune in
England, as soon as she became 81 years Old
She wished to remain there until the arrival of
her lover, and then she would be married, and the
bills footed by him. The time for the nuptial GER
emonies were set, large company of friends
were invited, when just at eve the Shaker swain
took stroll and has not since BEEN heard FROM
This same person imposed upon a number of
respectable families at the east in the year of
1852. We listened to her doleful story and took
occasion to expose her through the columns of
the New Haven Palladium. Her story was in
substance the same she told in Baltimore, with the
exception of such embellishments as could be
added from local scenes. She possesses mind
of the kecnest observation-disclosures head that would
adorn many Of our literary women-a strong,
robust physical system, and plays her part admi-
rably. The police are after her, and if not de-
tected, she may possibly wend her way to ST. Paul.
Don't trust her. She goes by the name of Eliza
beth Bushnell.

Reverie of the Church Sexton.

Splendid day! Well have quite turn out
There's nothing like sunshine to draw an audi
ence. It's better than all the popular preachers
that were ever born. Oh! there's my memoran-
dunn book Pd like to have forgotten it, and if
them directions hadn't been tended to, most like
ly should have forgotten it, most likely should
have lost my place. Let's see. Takes out a
memorandum and reads:
s'By orders of Judge p, the woman who sauints
and eats cardamon seeds, is not to be put in the
seat in front of him.
'sBy order of the wealthy Miss Prudence Prim,
the young man whose clothes smell of cigars and
brandy, shall set behind her.
''The request of Mr.. A., mechanic, that stran-
gers be not shown into his pew-to be attended
to If convenient
Quite chapter anyhow. But people are be-
ginning to streak in. There's two young women
waiting. Common sort of folks, guess, gentili-
ty don't come quite so early as this. slave a
seat, marm.'' She with bow, elf you please"
No matter, politeness is cheap article, it don't
cost nothing. So here goes the two women into
one of the back wall psws. Here is two more
birds of the same feather; wooden shawls, straw
bOnnets and cotton gloves; wall pew, second
from the door; good enough in all conscience.
ALL there's a bride. Satin velvet, and white
kids; fine broadcloth and white vest. Shall
have the pleasure of showing yourself and lady
some seats. They must have some first rate seats
for they are evidently somebody. What a differ
ence there is in folks!
Now there's a dressmaker, school mistress
nobodies. Back seats good enough. Two young
lawyers somebodies l must find seat in the
middle aisle. A broken down minister, coat
rather seedy, cravat rather coarse-nobody; side
aisle. Six fashionable boarding school girls
somebodies; middle aisle if possible. Rouged
cheeks, but splendid silk cloak-somebody
middle aisle. An apprentice boy, decent locking,
but nobody; side aisle.
Who'll say amt judge of human nature!
Don't l know who a man is the minute see
him?
Now there's one of our seedy-coated old fell
lows coming. Don't set him down as a nobody,
and won't he be glad to get any kind of seat?-
'll show folks that understand my business
Have a seat sir?
Confound my i'll luck. Just as was putting
him into one of the poorest seats in the house,
along comes Judge A., who spying him, comes
and says he, "Ah, how dye do, Governor Up
Take seat with me, sir; my wife will rejoice
to meet you" Shaking hands with the seedy
coat, he looked daggers at me, and I'll bet four
pence I've lost my place. Who'd have thought
that the old fellow was an x-Governor? But
that comes of looking as meek a schoolmaster,
and dressing like wood-sawyer! Why don't
folks, as ought to, hold up their heads and be
somebody ?-Boston True Flag.

FRANKLIN PIERcE's ADMINIsTRATIoN.-The Dem
ocrat thinks that we have done injustice to Mr..
Pierce in stating that his administration is cor
rupt one, and asks us to make the amendc honor
able!
That makes us laugh and what is still more
pleasing is the fact that the Democrat is disposcd
to back up the administration both here and at
Washington. What arc we coming to. There are
three departments of our government, but can't
the Executive exercise an influence over those de-
parments? And does he not ? We do not charge
the acts of the Legislative branch on that of the
Executive, but we consider the whole " kit and
posse" a sort of q kettle of corruption, whether
cmanating from the acts Of the past or the pres
cnt administration. is as we'll known to the Dem
ocrat, as to us.
The Democrat thinks we ought to cherish
Wing brother because he has been g spared as a
monument of Democratic mercy" You are re-
ally too bad to ask us to do any such thing
Can't YOU excuse us? Our eyes are wide open
andwe are looking steadily at the present workings
of the administration, and because we have only
reiterated that which is VIGOROUSLY known. YOU
ask Us to make the amende honorable - That's
a pretty good joke. The Democrat is getting ia.
cetious.

Austria AND THE GERMAN PowERs.-The late
European advices state that the German powers
were friendly to Russia, and the inference follows
that they intend to unite with Austria and defeat
If possible, the plans of France and England
As the fact is known that Austria has TIA
ken up arms against the allied powers, it may be
set down as certain that general war will be the
result, for while Austria and Russia are engaged
with the troops of their enemy, Hungary and Po-
land will ''pitch in'' and the whole continent
will soon be in confusion, unless Russia's terms
of peace are acquiesced in. We wait anxiousy
the arrival of later news.

DEAD!

With what stunning sound this word falls
upon the ear! Every fibre of the human system
is relaxed and the bereaved sinks down under its
heavy stroke. Death comes at all times-in the
stiffness of the night, or on the field of battle
in the quiet reposc of old age, or in the tender
years of infancy-on the desert or on the sea-in
the cot of the lowly or in the palace of the rich.
1t may be he enters suddenly and snatches his
victim or it may be that he comes quietly and dis
solves the material into the immatcrial. 1t may
be that he cuts down the young, the beautiful the
joyous in the gay, light hall, it may be enters
noiselessly the chamber of the student, and lies
him gently to rest. All arc subject to his COM
mands-all must obey his call
hard to part with those we love-to lay them in
the cold ground and 60 away and leave them, and
never to look upon their bright, cheerful counte-
nances again, yet they are happy; re are the
mourners. As we stand by the bedside and watch
life's last 6tful pulse cbbing away, we imagine
the agony of the sufferer, and even wish that ,ce
could die, that he might live. Death is but a
Transitional transplanting of the spirit into an
other sphere, and there is agony in dissolution.
This material body returns to the dust, and the
spirit becomes clothed with immortality. Weep
not, then, at the mandates of Death 1t is nee
essary that the seed should be planted or else the
flower will not grow; so it is necessary that all
should die to gain more pure and perfect bodies.

An INDIANS DEATH SONG.-There is little innate
bravery in the Indian character. In war they sell
dom attack an enemy unless they are satisfied that
the advantages are Overwhelmingly in their favor.
They never meet an antagonist in the open field.
Strategy is their forte and ambush their field
According to Indian ethics, the warrior who inn
prudently exposes his person in action, is fool,
and If he is killed he dies afooPs death. But not
withstanding their extreme caution, or want OF
bravery in warfare, they are possessed of a stOi-
cism-a defiance of death, when its certainty is
before them, and caution no longer available,
which is the very opposite OF cowardice. In such
cases, the victim manifests the utmost contempt
for death, and neither the threats of his enemies,
nor the pain of its infection can lead him to be-
tray the least manifestation of fear. s-s
4 touching instance of this characteristic trait
occurred at the late engagement between a small
war party of the Chppewas and greatly superb
or party of Sioux near Cedar Island Lake. The
Chippewas, who were en- route for scalping foray
upon the Sioux villages on the Minnesota, here
fell into ambuscade, and the first notice OF dan.
ger which saluted their ears, was discharge OF
fire arms from q thicket. Four of their number
fell dead in their tracks. Another, named the
War Cloud, leading brave, had leg broken by
bullet. His comrades were loath to leave him
and whilst their assaiants were reloading their
guns, attempted to carry him along with them to
where they could gain the shelter of thicket,.
short distance in the rear. But he commanded
them to leave him, telling him that he would show
his enemies how a Chippewa could die. AT hi
request, they seated him on log with his bach
leaning against a tree. He then commenced paint
| ing his face and singing his death song As hi
enemies approached him, he only sang louder
and liveer strain, and when several had gath
cred around him fourishing their scalping- knives
and screeched forth their demoniac yell Of exult
alton, not a look or gesture manifested that n
was even aware of their presence. At length the,
seized him and tore his scalp from his head. Still
seated with his back against large tree the,
commenced shooting their arrows into the trunl
around his head, grazing his cars, neck, &C., unit
they literally pinned him fast, without having
once touched vital part. Yet our hero remain
ed the same imperturbable stole, continuing t.
chant his defiant strain, and although one of tn
number fourished his reeking scalp before hi
eyes-still not single expression Of his counte
nance could be observed to change. At last, on
of the number approached him with a tomahaw
which after a few unheeded fourishes he burie
in the captive's skull, who sank in death with til
song still upon his lips. He had indeed succeed
ed we'll in teaching his enemies chow Chiprew
could die" A few days afterwards they WEI
taught how Chippewa could be aven9ed!-Den

persons can go on the lands noe at this time, and
hereafter prove up their pre-e mpt,ons, because
the lands are reserved for railroad purposes and
not for settlement. According to your view of

CLEANING WALL PAPER.-As many of our lady
readers may desire, at this season of house clean
ing, to renovate the paper upon the walls of rooms,
VIC copy from the Ohio Cu!tivator method pre-
scribed for so doing:
Take about two quarts of wheat bran, enclose
it in bag made of thin, open flannel, or strainer
bran occasionally go as to keep the surface fresh
With this apparatus smoke can easily be removed
from wall paper. Grease spots can be partially
removed by rubbing them with chalk, and then
laying over them several thicknesses of brown
paper, and press on a hot fat iron.

Who guided and controlled the elements during
the dark hours of l776? Geo. Washington, at
the age of % years, commander n-chiet OF the
American forces. Who stood up in the midst OF
loyaiists and proclaimed those memorable words
els liberty so sweet as to be purchased by the
price of slavery? Forbid, Almighty God. l care
not what others may think, but as for me give me
liberty or give me death?'' Patrick Henry, at the
age of "a years. Who drew up that immortal in
strument-the Declaration of our independence:
Thomas jefferson, at the age of 81. Who inHu-
enced our foreign relations andreAcctcd honor upon
our infant country abroad? The young, ardent
philosophical thinker, Benjamin Franklin. And
wherever we may point in the past we behold the
young men of the day guiding our country to
greatness and renown.
But this spirit in our young men is as visible
to-day as in the past. We find it developing it
self in the noble career of Henry Clay, Or in the
intellectual power of Daniel Webster, who, al
the age of thirty, held listening Senates in ave.
Ard even now Sumner and a Kossuth, Win
throp and Greeley attract the attention of the
old and the new world, by the vigor of their in
tellects and the force of their characters. EN-
phatically the age for young men is the present
an age fraught with events of great Importance
to the future condition of the races. The spirit
of ''Young America" therefore is entering into
all our social relations-our mercantile, manufac-
turing and agricultural pursuits-our political
canvasses, and even our religious elements. Old
fogyism is doomed, and the young men Of this day
the strong, solid, common-sense young men
are destined to sweep the field and open a new
era in the history Of our country-in the history
of mankind.
