The Union is Safe!

A Western poet says the Knickcr'
booker, composed the following in
just one hour by Connecticut clock
There can be no danger while there is
so much "sperit' in the country.
What! bust this galorous Union up,
An 60 to drawn triggers,
Just for thunderin' parcel Of
Emancipated niggers?
The Eagle of Amiriky,
That lue acros the seas,
An throwed the buddy British lion
Kerslump upon his knees;
Say, shall we rend him linn from linn.
Wun wing one way, an wun t'other,
An every sepperit pint feather
A Ayn' at the other!
1t can't be did!

A SURE CURE FOR A FELoN.-It is
said by somebody who pretends to
know all about it, that the following
is sure remedy for felon: Take a
pint Of common soft soap and stir it
in air-slacked lime till it is of the con-
sistency Of glaciers putty. Make a
leather thimble, fill it with this COM
position, and insert the finger therein.
Change the composition once in TWEEN
ty minutes, and a cure is certain.
We happen to know that the above
is a sure remedy, and recommend it
to any who may be troubled with that
disagreeable ailment.-Bufalo Ad-
UertlSer.

Miss SWeetbricr's COurtship.
A d A l. l. A D.

There stood, when happened some summers
The events of the following story,
A large stone hotel, as many folks know,
At the end of Nahant's promontory;
And when they couldn't endure the heat
Then all the world and his daughter,
Some of whom are elite but some very elietc,
Would start for the salt sea water.
What bcvies of feminine beauties rare,
Such as seen in poets dream are,
Going down to Nahant for the bracing air,
Have seen in that little steamer;
And thought it aware of its precious freight
And endowed with human sensation,
For every plank seemed very clate
And gave an extra vibration.
Now of all the charmers who visited there,
TO look at the broad Atlantic,
A few years since, was one who was fair,
SURPRISINGLY fair, and romantic:
But as the story that shall tell
Is a very veracious history,
The name of ala plus belle des bellies
Must remain forever mystery,
Yet, as names are very convenient things
TO the poet who strikes his Tyre,
And deeds of lovers and heroes sings,
| shall call her Miss Jane Sweetbrar;
And this you will understand to be
But fanciful appellation,
For her real name wouldn't be breathed by

The disparity between the prcuniary results

The difference IL enormous; and the writer of
the Press is driven Ia attempt nm explanation.
II is not the superior skill the French, he ntrns,
for they hive been forced To- employ English tai

not attributable to higher fares; for the French
charges are lower than in England. 1t is owing.

France the Government will not allow another

An English Endorsement of Young America
At the Inauguration of the Royal Exchange at
Dundee, Scotland, Mr. Henry +. Baxter NJ. F.,
was called upon to propose the toast of "rhc
President and People of the United States of
America" which he introduced with the following
speech:
The duty assigned TO this occasion is ono
which at all times should perform with satisfac-
ton and pleasure; but to my mind it is especial
ly gratifying under present circumstances. when
the plumbers of dlplomatists and the uncaled for
sarcasms of newspaper writers have for u mo.
ment cast cloud over the relations of two coun.
tries, separated from each other by 1900 miles
of ocean: bat nevertheless peopled by the same

look upon this request as n straw, showing the
direction of the current in an important commer
cial community, as mn indication that Dundee
looks with unfriendly eye on the rising star of
Empire in the West-(eheers) --ns a token that
neither politicians nor journalists have succeeded
| in magnfying the point Of difference between
the two governments as to endanger that con
cord upon which the happiness of half the human
race and the progress of civilization depend. -
(Great cheering)
that that republic has many faults; not that the
machinery Of government ever and anon creaks
and works unpleasantly; not that tibusiers aud
regulators sometimes obtain an undue prom

refugees and emigrants now and then continue
to speak loudly that their voice is mistaken for
that of the country at large; not that uncouth

ADVENTURES OF NJ. WALEwsKI A Paris let

serves TO exemplify the strange ups and downs
of the lives of public men in France:
In lS3l,M, de Walewski, up 10 the neck in the

Ia the French nation. He passed by Berlin,
where he escaped narrowly with his lberly and
life; for. had h. been seized and given over to
thu Russian Government, he would have been tx
ecuted IN reality, as he was shortly afterwards in
eihgy. But the Chief of Police in Berlin Mt that
lime WIS VI, de Manteuifel, and the archives of
more than one Prussan town possess to this day

A Robber Caught in his own Trap

Robber Caught in his own Trap
Mr.. Uolbrook ia his work, 'Ten Iears Among
the Mail Bags" relates the following story:
While the country was then ihny setled.and
the mails were transported on horseback or in
different kinds of vehicles, from the gig to the stage
cooches often through extensive foresfs.which
sff,rd every facility for robbery. the Office of
STAGE driver or mil carrier no snecure.-
Rcsolu,e men were required for this service. who
on emergency could handle pistol as well as
whip.
Some thirty or forty years ago mail coach
ran in tbr northern part of the State of New oik
through the famous "Chateaugay woods The
forest was many miles in extent. aud common
fame and many legends gave it the reputation OF
n noted place for freehooters and highway
men. One morning the stage driver on his
route had occasion to examine his pistols and
found instead Of the usual charge, that they were
loaded with wheat bran, daring VILLAIN had
through an accomplice. thus disarIned the driver
preparatory tn waylaying him. He drew the
charges, CLEANED the wcapons,and carefully load
ed them with powder and ball That afternoon
he mounted his stag. for his drive through the
Chnteangay woods. There was not passenger
in his vehicle; whisting rs he went "he cracked
up" his leaders. and drove into the forest. just
about the centre of the woods man sprang OUT
from behind tree, and seized tho horses by the
bit.

surnmaie GOODNESS, Il want to take a look at that

A sharp report echoed through the forest. aud
the disciple of Dick furpin lay stretched upon
the ground. One groan and all was over. Tho
ball had entered his temple. The driver lifted
