Nil DEsPERANDUM.-Wh there is life there is
hope, is old adage, and it is sometimes curiousIy
illustrated Persons given up to die are often saved
by the superior energy of nurse who has hope but
many keep off the king of errors, for time at least
by their superior determination. Old Major Dash,
who won his breVe in the war of 1912, suddenly
taken down with the cholera. 1t at the time of
its first appearance this continent, and our physi-
clans had very little experience. The Maor sank
pdIy, and Il consultation was called. Several doc
tors, after putting their heads together to the
conclusion that the patient fatally sick, past
covery. No one, however, would make the announce
ment when the Major, suspecting the case, turned
to young doctor present, and said, what is the
port?'
THAT you can't live"
''Not chance?' asked the Major with severity.
YES continued young hopeful, Just one chance
in hundred thousand"
"Then, why the--don't you work away on
that chance?" returned the Major, with a voice of
thunder
The hint was taken and the invincibe soldier
was saved. The white hairs and the gllsening
sword of this old soldier waved along the victorious
lines of troops in Mexico but he at last had to
yield to foe, if not more courageous. yet more in
satiable, and he now sleeps upon his native banks
of the Hudson.

Wing leaders in that State, who using the Know

What is it that some of the whg leaders will in
the hope of reganing power and place The Gazette
says:
Two years ago Gen. Scott and the Wing leaders
travelled the entire country, pleading for foreign Cath
Ollie votes, and denouncng Gen. Pierce and the Dem
ocratic party as being their enemies. Every Wing
paper in Pennsylvania took the same course. Gen.
Scott loved the rich irish brogue and sweet German
cent and his oades swallowed the declaration with
thrilling satisfaction. SO anxious the wings in
Bedford to exhibit their love of foreign Catholics that
they determined to appoint German Catholic Post
Master in the person of Mr. Andris Saupp, and accord
ingly he received his commission from whig Post
master General, and took charge of the Office before
| Judge Campbell came into power. Now, the very
same Know Nothings who appointed Mr. Saupp ask
that the democratic party be visited with destruction
because they won't turn him out The only bid ever
made in this country for foreign Catholic votes
was made by the whig party, under the lead of Gen,
Scott and now the party demand that every for
egner in the nation shall be branded with mark of
infamy and Judge Pollock, their candidate for Gov
erner has taken an oath TO carry out their views, if
elected"
