A GOOD USE OF THE LANTERN.


A conductor of a train on the lndl-
ana Central Railroad, recently, says
the Dayton Gazette, expected the ap-
proach of another, went forward to
give warning. 1t was night, and
his lantern went out just as he heard
the train approaching. lAs the locomo-
tive came up, he seized a club and
threw it, but the missile glanced off
from the engine, without making a
noise sufficiently perceptible to hear
himself. But selling his lantern, he
hurled it at the lantern Of the locomo-
tive, just as it came opposite to him.
Fortunately he hit it, The crashing
glass and the extinguishment of the
light startled the engineer. A sharp
whistle was heard-the brakes were
shut down-the train stopped. Every
body was safe, when, but for the throw
ing ofthat lucky lantern, scores might
have been killed or wounded.

The Charleston Mercury, the lead
ing democratic organ in South Carroll
ma says:
"Nor can we suppose that any
love or admiration for Mr.. Buchanan
induces this meeting. Those who
have called itwere opposed to his NOM
ination in the Cincinnati Convention.
The South Carolina delegation did all
they could to defeat his nomination.
When it was clear that they were de-
feated in their choice, they joined with
the other States in giving, on the last
ballot, the unanimous vote Of the con-
vention to Mr.. Buchanan, in order that
the party might go with more strength
before the people. They do not now,
we presume, call together the people
of Charleston to celebrate their disap-
pointment and defeat. Confidence in,
and admiration for Mr.. Buchanan do
not occasion the CALL"

HOW TO GAIN REPUTATION.

A French author, finding his reputa-
ton impeded by the hostility Of the
critics, resolved to adopt little STRAIT
agem to assist him in gaining fame
and money in spite ofhis enemies. He
dressed himself in a workmanlike at
tire, and repaired to a distant province
where he took lodgings at a farrier
shop, in which he did a little work ev-
cry day at the forge and anvil. But
the greater part ofhis time was secret
ly devoted to the composition of three
large volumes of poetry and essays,
which he published as the works of a
Journeyman Blacksmith. The trick
succeeded; all France was in amaze
ment; the poems of this "child Of ma
ture," this "untutored genius this Gin
spired son of Vulcan" as he was now
called, were Immediately praised by
the critics, and were soon praised by
everybody. The harmless deceit filled
the pockets of the poor poet, who
laughed to see the critics writing in
ccssant praise on an author whose ev-
cry former effort they made a point OF
abusing.

HoME.--The pain which is felt when
we are first transplanted from our ma
tive soil, when the living branch is cut
from the parent tree, is one Of the most
poignant which we have to endure
through life. There arc after griefs
which wound more deeply; which
leave behind them scars never to be eff
faced, which bruise the spirit and some
times break the heart; but never do we
feel so kecnly the want Of love, the
necessity of being loved, and the utter
sense of desertion, as when we first
leave the haven of home, and are, as
it were. pushed of upon the stream of
life.
