OrFN THE GArE-"I | wish Won would send
boy to open the gate for me-" said boy OF
ten years old to his mother, as he passed with
his books under his arm.
why, John, cannot you open the gate for
yourself y said his mother "A boy of your
age and strength ought certainly to he able to
do that
" / could do it, | suppose" said the boy,
" but it is heavy, and do not like the trou-
ble. The servant can open it for me just as
well. What is the use of having servants,
if they are not to wait upon us - thought he
to himself
The servant was sent to open the gate. The
boy passed out, and went whistling on his wav
to school. When he reached his seat in the aca-
denny, he drew from his bag of books his arith
metic, and began to look at the sums.
g cannot do those" he whispered to the
next scholar they are too hard"
/" But you can try" replied his companion
. | know that | can try" said John, but
it is too much trouble. Pray. what are teach
ers for if not to help us out of our difficulties
| shall carry my slate to Mr. Helpwell, the
usher"
Alas poor John. He had come to another
closed gate-a gate leading into path of use
full knowledge. He could have opened it, and
entered in alone but he had come to the
conclusion that it was as well to have the
gates opened for Us as to exert our own
strength.
The result was, he had no genius for such
a kind of study.
The same was true of Latin He could have
learned the dcclensions of the nouns and the
cOniunctionS Of the verbs as well as others of
his age {; but he got other boys to do his exer-
else, and what the use in opening the gate into
the Latin language when others would do it for
him. On no, John Easy had no idea of task
ing his mind or body when he could avoid it,
and the consequence was that numerous gates
remained closed to him all his lifc-gates to
honor gates to usefulness to happiness.
Children, you should early learn that it is al
ways best to help yourselves.

how you obtained it."
"Ah why not" said Daher
Because" said the noble Arab, another
might be really i'll, and men would fear to
help him. Yon would be the cause of many
refusing to perform an act of charity, for fear
of being duped as have been"
Struck with the shame of these words, Da-
her was silent for Il moment then sprnging
from the horse, he returned it to its owner,
embracing him. Naber made him accom-
pany him to his tent, where they spent few
days together, and became friends for life

THE BEpor1H-The following exquisite

THE BEDorlN-'The following exquisite
story is by Lama tine
In the tribe of Negglch there was a horse
whose fame was spread far and near and a
Bedoun of another tribe, by name Daher de-
sired extremely to possess it. Having offer
ed in vain for it his camcls and his whole
wealth, he hit at length upon the following
device, by which he hoped to gain the object
of his desire.
He resolved to stain his face with juice OF
an herb, to clothe himself in rags, to tie his
legs and neck together, so as to appear Ike
lame beggar. Thus equipped, he went to
wait for Nabcr, the owner of the horse, who
he knew was to pass that way, When he
saw Naber approaching on his beautiful steed,
he cried out in Il weak voice,
aEi a poor stranger for three days
have been unable to move from this point to
seek food | am dying-heIp, and Heaven
will reward you !"
The Bcdouin kindly offered to take him
upon his horse and carry him home but the
rogue replied
cannot rise. have no strength left"
Naber, touched with pity, dismounted, led
his horse to the spot and with great difficult
| ty set the seeming beggar on his back But
no sooner did Daher feel himself in the saddle
than he set spurs to the horse and gallopcd
off, calling out as he did so /:
g 1t is |, Daher have got the horse and
am off with it,"
Naber called ont to him to stop and listen.
Certain of not being pursued, he halted at a
short distance from Naber, who was armed
with spear. a
You have taken nv horse" said Naber.

The Democrats of Bangor celebrated Blu.
chanan's election by firing two hundred guns
on Saturday. $3.50.
The New York Times supposes that more
than SIS ,000, 900 have been expended in the
political canvass.
The Lawrence, Kansas, Herald Of Freedom,
after suspension of near six months, has again
made its appearance.
Fremont received but 1S, 900 votes in New
York city ont of SO, 900 cast, Notwithstanding
the Herald, Tribune, Times, Courier, and
Evening Post sustained his election.
1t is mentioned as not unlikely that Col.
Fremont will be elected U. s Senator from
New York in place Of Hon. Hamilton Fish,
whose term expires next 4th of March.
The Manchester IN. H. American places
at the head Of its columns the names Of John
c. Fremont for President, and VIM. L. Dayton
for Vice President, for the campaign Of 1850.
The Baltimore Patriot says that 2l4 votes
were cast for Mr.. Fremont in Baltimore, mostly
by Germans. In Louisville he had fifteen
votes The Republicans CT New Castle county,
Delaware, pOllei seven hundred votes.
The New York Herald modestly proposes
the following As candidates for the United
States Senate next winter at Albany: Horace
Greeley, James Watson Webb, William G.
Bryant, Henry ]. Raymond, James Gordon
Bennett
lone gratifying fact connected with the Pres.
idential election is that it demonstrated the

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Union praises the Democracy Of Ohio
for reducing in the recent election to $4,000,
the majority of $4,000 given against them in
1854. 1t also calls public attention to the
fact that tho Democracy of New Hampshire
pOlled 5000 more votes in the late election
than ever before.
OF the late Senator Clayton's death the
Iateittgsneer says:

Positively True The New York Express,
after sensible remarks upon the revolving
idiosyncracies of New England, as manifested
in the recent Presidential contest, drawn cut
by the boast Of New York Fremont paper,
that New England has sent her every repre-
sentative to the next Congress opposed to the
incoming administration, says that Geo. W.
Jones, of Tennessee, al humble saddler a fe1
years ago, will have more influence than call
of them put together in shaping American
public affairs. Nothing truer was ever said
in a newspaper. The influence of Mr.. Jones
is the result of his extraordinary good sense
integrity and industry. He is worth more al
this moment to his country than any other
man living, because he exerts a greater in
duence on Its public affairs than any other of
the public men Of the day. The raising Of
his finger in the House hall will accomplish
more than all the speeches that all New
England may make, and all the votes that all
New England can throw in opposition to his
views Of the fitness Of things.

And he kept his word"
We do not believe that there is a word Of

All that those from whom the Courier OBJ

at once. Until they essay, at least, 50 to do,
