A JOKE DrscovERED.-A joke goes
a great way in the country. have
known one last pretty well for seven
years. I remember making a joke
after meeting of the clergy in York
shire, where there was a Rev. Mr..
Buckle. who never spoke when l gave
his health /; saying that he was a buckle
without tongue. Most persons with
in hearing laughed, but my next
neighbor sat unmoved and sunk in
thought. At last, quarter Of an hour
after we had all done, he suddenly
nudged, exclaiming:
81 see now what you meant, Mr.
Smith, you meant joke"
"Yes," I said. "sir, believe I did"
Upon which he began laughing 90
heartily that l thought he would
choke, and was obliged to put him on
the back. 3

The BOND OF UN1oN.--Whilst
fanaticism is rampant in the North,
and dissolution of the Union is freely
talked Of by mad-men in Portland
Maine, and other places; we have
evidence of a bond of Union, between
the North and South, such as there
is no installing; such as dose not
rest upon the meaningless grssy ver-
bage, Of stump speakers, and pulpit
preachers who prostitute the christian
name. The evidence we speak of is
found in the voluntary charitable don
atoms, from northern cities to the dis
tressed and suffering at Portsmouth,
and Norfolk, in Virginia. Certainly
this shows that there is a national
union-a bond that unites US together
in such a manner that fanaticism on
this, and the other side of the line,
cannot sever us.

WYANDor INDIANS HOLDING AN
ELEcTIoN.-A letter to the st. Louis
Republican, dated Kansas, Ang. IA.
says:
To-day the Wyandots are holding
their election for chief, and a more
interesting and impressive scene l
never witnessed. This nation was a
few years ago the most populous,
powerful and warlike of the whole
region Of the north, and are now
dwindled down to the small number
of six or seven hundred, all told
Some of them are men Of remarkable
sense, whose practical observation.
and sound discretion have induced
them to quit many traditional and
savage customs, and to form sort Of
republican government. They. now
elect their rulers, and to-day they are
to choose their Chief or President
The polls are held at lodge about
two hundred yards from the conflu-
ence of the Kansas and Missouri
rivers, and within full view of passing
steamboats,. The judges Of election
are three old Drawers who have the
confidence Of the nation. The voting
is done by ballot-and how gravely
it proceeds! How unlike the cleo
tons of the man! How much more
orderly, dignifed and quiet! There
is no excitement, no noise-no cleo
pioneering or loud words. They
come in singly from the forest; they
assemble in small numbers beneath
the boughs Of spreading elms they
confer together gravely, and then, as
stately relics of mighty race, they
step with mein of conscious severe.
ignty to the ballot-box and vote for
the chieftain of their choice. What
an example to their white brethren!

TAmongst other acts passed by
the quasi-Legislature Of Kansas, is one
requiring that settlers from Massachu-
sets shall take an oath of allegiance
to the Constitution and laws of the U.
s. the fugitive slave law, and the Or
ganic act of Kansas Territory includ-
ed; and that they should support the
laws enacted by the Territorial Legis-
lature of Kansas, for which they
should pay fee of three dollars, else
they should be debarred from the cleo
tive franchise. The people Of all other
States, by paying tax of one dollar,
without regard to the length of time
they have remained or purpose to re-
main, are to enjoy an equal privilege
with them, and that without the ne
cessity of taking an oath.

INs1GNlFIcANcE OF MAN,

INs1GNlFIcANcE OF MAN.--How
insignificant is man. How contrac-
ted the circle in which he moves, sur
rounded on all sides by obstacles
which his genius, not his strength,
overcomes he cannot compare, in
his physical powers, with the horse,
which he has tanned in his hand. He
views the armament spread out before
him, studded with a thousand worlds,
but confined to earth, he stretches
forth his hand in vain to reach them,
and explores them only by and through
his mind. He sends his ships to the
furthea0crge Of his own globe, and
yet he is scarcely able to move by his
own strength the weight of his own
body. And yet, though man is so
insig significant in the organization of his
body, how powerful the workings of
his wondrous mind? He measures
the distance of the remotest star and
marks the wanderings Of the most
eccentric comet, calculating its re-
turn with the preciseness of a god.
He plunges amid the profoundly Of
worlds, and out of the confusion Of
their own order. he arrange system
after system, and makes them, as it
were. obedient to the calculations he
has established for their arrangement.
-Judge Ednaonds.
