The late honored and lamented statesman, Henry
Clay, used to tell capital story Of an opponent Of
his making a stump speech in the midst of the most
unsettled parts of the then arthest Western States
He was small pettifogger- -"wordy, windy and wan
derng' in all that he said and with the utmost con-
fusion as to what he was talking; only he knew he
was accusing Mr.. Clay Of wanting to introduce the
"cussed Feudal System" into this country. Some
demagOgue had told him that that was the nature Of
Mr.. Clays Protective system:
Look O here now, my friends" said he "iest look
at it, want to know if any of you who hear my
voice want this Feudal System? What has it done
for England and Europe, and France, and Scotland
and other foreign countries? Look at EN- Half Of
em are no better than slaves, and some of em not
half as well off. What has done this? The blasted
Feudal System, that they want to tasten to this
country, same as they did onto Greece!
And then jest look at the expense. What do you
think England ows, this minute, for wars, and high
living under this Feudal System? Why, more than
nine thousand dollars, and the interest runnn on all
the while! Do we want any system like that histed
unto this country? Do you want it my fellow citi-
zens?"
Well-they didn't, and so made manifest at the
polls. In sparse settlement, in the wilderness
where, the orator said "the sile am rch but the
money are scurse" where silver dollar is supposed
to be of the size of cart wheel, nine thousand dol
lars, the national debt of Great Britain seemed
unaccountabe, and a "most numerous amount" O.
money.
Mr.. Clay used to tell this story with great good
humor and effect; and many laugh did his friends
have over the idea, how glad the English Government
would be to strike bargain with some Yankee fnan-
cier who would pay their National Debt with the
terrific nine thousand dollars What tremendous

FORBIDDEN FRUIT. A striking instance of the
power of curiosity and the proclivity of human ma
ture to indulge in forbidden pleasures recently
red in London. The Times had vehemently denoun-
ced certain opera as "as an exhibition of harlotry
on the stage" and called upon the people of England,
in the name of everything vrtuous, fathers of fami-
hes mothers and daughters included to mark their
sense of what was right by keeping away from the
performance. The people of England" answered
occasion of the performance of the opera to suoca-
ton, and not even standing room could be found in
pit OR gallery Masses of people, principaly ladies,
it is said, poured into the theatre in manner not
witnessed since the first triumphs of Jenny Lind
Not alone had the house never been fuller than on
this OCCASION but the audience had never been more
respectable!

DISCOVERIES OF THE AGE.-Some of the most won
derful results of human intelligence have been wit
messed in the last fifty years. 1t is remarkable how
the mind of the world has run into scientific invest
cation, and what achievements it has effected in that
short period
Fulton launched the first steamboat in 1907, now
there are three thousand steamboats, traversing the
waters of alone
In 1925 the first railroad was put in operation in
Massachusetts,.
In 1900 there was not single railroad in the
world. In the United States alcne there are now
S797 miles Of railroad costing 1886 100000 to build
and about $4,000 miles of railroad in England and
America
The electric telegraph had its beginning in 1912.
The electro magnet was discovered in the year
1921 and electrotyping is a still later invention.
Hoes printing press, capable of printing 10000
copies an hour, is very recent discovery.
Gas light was unknown in 1900; now every city
and town of any pretence is lighted with it., and we
have the announcement of a still greater discovery
by which light, heat, and motive power may all be
produced from water with scarcely any cost.
Daguerrc communicated to the world his beautiful
invention in 1889.
Gun cotton and chlorolorm are discoveries but a
few years old.
Astronomy has added many new planets to the So
lar system. What will the next half century accom-
pish? We may look for still greater discoveries fol
the intellect Of man is awake, exploring every mine
knowledge, and searching for useful information il
every department of art and industry.

BAsHFUL MEN.-We never saw genuinely bash
full man who was not the soul of honor. Though
such may blush and sammer, and shrug their shoul-
ders awkwardy, unable to throw forth with ease the
thoughts that they would express yet commend them
to us for friends
There are fine touches in their characters that time
will mellow and bring out perceptions delicate as
the aintest tint is to the unfolded rose; and their
thoughts are the less refined and beautiful that
they do not flow with the mpetuosty of the shallow
streamlet
We are astonished that such men are not appreci-
ated; that ladies with really good hearts and cultva-
ted intellect, will reward the gallant Sir Mustache
BralneSs with smiles and attention, because he can
fold shawl gracefully, and handy compliments with
Partisan elegance while they will not condescend to
look upon the worthier who feels for them rev.
erence so great that his every mute glance is wor-
ship.
The man who is bashful in the presence of ladies
is their defender when the loose tongue of the SANDER
cr would deme it is not he who boasts of conquests
dares to talk giby of aings that exist in his I'M
agnation alone: his eye flashes with anger to hear
the name of woman coupled with coarse oath yet
he who would die to defend them is the least honored
by the ajority Of our sex.
Who ever heard Of q bashful libertine? The
anomOly was never seen. Ease and elegance are his
requisites; upon his lips sits attery, ready to pay
court alike to blue eyes and black ones he is never
non-plussed, he never bushes. For glance he is in
raptures for word he would proessedly lay down
his life Yet it is he who fills our vile city dens with
wrecks of female purity it is he who profanes the
holy name of mother desolates the shrine where do
nestle happiness is throned rnins the heart that trusts
in him, pollutes the very air he breathes-and all
under the mask of polished gentleman.
Ladies, word in your ear: have you lovers, and
would you possess worthy husband? Choose him
whose delicacy of department. whose sense of your
worth leads him to stand alOof while Others crowd
around you. If he bushes, stammers even at your
approach, consider them so many signs Of his ex-
ated opinion of your SEX If he is retiring and mod
est let not thousand fortunes weigh him down in
the balance for depend upon it, with him your life
will be happier with poverty than with many anoth-
er surrounded by the splendor of palaces Olive

An Ode to all Mankind.
BY J. c. YOUNG, NJ. D.

All ye who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
As tits your case, alone, not mine, plead.
Ye who have felt, or feel them, know the pangs
Mans doomed to bear, when the remorseless fangs
OF dire disease is fastend in his soul
When he would seek the dagger or the Bowl
To end his misery by the potent spell
Of deadly poison, or the polished steel.
Ye who have writhed and groand from night to morn
Cursing the hour that We were born!
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hoping 'twoud quench the flames that madly burn'd
In evry vein, as if your blood were turnd
To molten lava
To him who hath felt this,
l need not speak, as he knows what it is
But such as only feel the incipent spark,
Should read this DER, and 'ry sentence mark!
Upon the tablets of their memory,
AS none may tell how he'll tomorrow be.
But all should know, in dark afliction's hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To their pain, so prompt, they think my hand
Must surely grasp Necromancer's wand,
Like some good Genii of the olden time,
Whose evry act bespoke his power sublime.
Within this city-throughout all the State,
In evry town and hamlet, small or great,
Some can be found who know the power WELD.
Having tried it-know it was to them shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon Scamanders banks, in battle bore.
They know it sav'd them from the blush of shame,
Preserved their health, and dearer far their name,
For whod confess the pain that spoiled his rest
Sprang from a source impure, to say the least.
Ye suffering thousands who may read this DER,
REMEMBER, ALONE can you restore
To health and usefulness.
That you may know
| have the means and power for doing so,
| here will state. Let each note what say.
My motto always is-NO CURE NO PAY.
I'm found with ease, my names ev'ry tongue.
The suff 'rers friend, and yours too
