SAY AMEN !-Larkin Moore was a half.cra-
~, wandering, lazy fellow, who used to amuse
the people in about Newburyport with his &C.
centricities and his music for Larkin had a
host of old songs, hymns and snatches of mel
Ody, which he rendered, in plaintive voice,
to familiar airs, and entertained crowds that
would gather around him Many of these
songs needed only TO be clothed in better
words, and they would take their place among
the verses that men will not let willingly die
For example, one of Larkin's songs caught
the ear of a true poet, who dressed it up, and
it now commences:
GA pilgrim climb'd the mountain height,
Assailed by storm and snow.n
Larkin went to church one Sunday while in
Taunton, and Parson Whitney was exercising
his gifts, which were few and small His SER
mons were noted for their great length and
very little depth for their want Vf thought
and the preachers want of energy; so that
oftentimes it seemed ss if he would come TO
the end, if he had but spirit enough to bring
himself to a standstill Larkin walked up
the aisle and took his seat about midway OF
the church. He listened longer thsn coulu
have been expected of such restless minu ss
his, while firstly, secondly, thirdly, Iour.n,y, y
and 30 to seventhly, were severany anno 20.
and expatiated on and then exclaimed INC
minister, &" sohat shall say more
"For meroy's sake" er'sd out harh'ns
:" say amen !" w,:.
but he was 30 put out himself that be did not
resume his discourse.

The Washington Star pays the following
compliment to The Chairman of the Demo-

Too much praise for the result ofthe recent
contest IN Pennsylvania cannot be awarded to
the State Central Committee OF that State, and
its ndeiatga5!p aud able Chairman, Col John
W. Forney. They worked as men never be-
fore worked in political canvass, and infused
throughout the @hoir STATE, among the active
men OF the Democratic party: their own untir-
ing and unconqueIabIe spirit. For the last SIX
WEEKS, at least, they hardly took time 10 eat
iaelr meals. They were as familiar with the
condition Of affairs in every precinct Of nearly
every county Of the great Commonw ealth as any
Democratic politician at It's immediate centre
could br, and were al all times competent TO ey-
cry emergency Of its position or requirements.
Aever before have We entertained so high an
impression of the abilities Of Col. Fornry as
forces Itself on our mind as the result Of our
knowledge ofthe history of that Committees
laoor and efficiency in this remarkable canvass
though we had previously seen him tried in
many political hery furnace, indeed.
