Worth Reading.

Whoever, passessed of ordinary intel
ligence, reads the following brief and
seemingly homely poem, cannot fail to
perceive that it addresses itself to his
inner soul 1t is unquestionably the ut
terance of one who has been
refined in pitiless fire."
1t breathes life into what seem to us at
times no more than umeaning riddles
1t inspires us with hope and teaches re-
sisnation- 1t is at once beautiful lesson
and a powerful sermon 1t should be
written on the heart of every man whose
aspirations rise above the cold bounds of
a mere sensual existence These words
should become a part of memory; and,
our word for it, breathed to the soul in
the hours of the hearts communion with
itself, they will speak holy peace to the
worn and wearied spirit, and carry balm
to the bruised and bleeding heart:
PHILOSOPHY OF ENDURANCE.
Were the lonely acorn never bound
In the rude cold grasp of the rotting ground;
Did the rigid frost never harden UP
The mould above its bursting cup:
Were it never soaked in the rain and hail
Or chilled by the breath of the wintry gale.
1t would cot sprout iu the sunshine free
Or give the promise OF a tree;
1t would not spread to the summer air
Its lensthening houghs and branches fair:
To form bower where. ill starry nights
Young love might dream unknown delights:
Or stand in the woods among its peers
Fed by the dews of thousand years
Were never the dull unseemIy ore
Dragged from the depths where it slept OF yore
Were It never cast into the searching flame,
To be purgcd of impurity and shame:
Were II never molten mid burning brands,
Or bruised and beaten bv stalwart hands.
1t would never be known thing oi worth
1t would never emerge TO a noble birth
1t woHld never be formed into mystic rings.
To fetter loves erra.ic wings;
1t would never shine amid priceless gems,
On the giIth OF imperial diadems.
Nor become to the world power and pride,
Cherished, adored ard defied.
So thou. OH man of noble soul.
Starting in view of glorious goal.
Vert thou never exposed TO the blasts foI lorn.
i he storms OF sorTow-the SeetS of scorn:
Vert thou never refined in pitiless fire.
From the dross OF thy sloth and mean desire:
Vert thou never taug ht to feel and know
That the trues, love has It's roots of Woe
Thou wOuldSt never unriddle the complex plan
Or resch bali way TO the perfect man:
Thou wouldst never obtain the tranquil height
Where wisdom purifes tine sight
And God uniolds TO the humbest gaze
The bliss and beauty of his WAYS

SIGNIFIcANT--We learn from the LON
lsvllle journal that Mr. LEVY THURMAN.
Sag-Nicht county elector for Washington
county, Kentucky, declines further acfing
in that capacity. He declares his inten,
ton OF supporting FILLMORE.
Washington telegraph., 1856-09-24

MASSACHUSETTS FOR FILLMoRE.-The
Boston Courier, the organ of the old
WEBSTER Whig party, and one of the
most reliable and well-informed papers of
the North, in one of its recent issues,
says:
''The friends of Mr.. Fillmore are in a
plurality In the State of Massachusetts, at
this day, and they viii continue to increase
until the time of the election"
The ''increase" spoken of by the Cour-
'er, is not confined to Massachusetts
alone. 1t is co-extensive with the North
The masses everywhere are focking TO the
support of that patriotic, Union-loving
statesman, MILLARD FILLMORE. The peo-
pie throughout the entire North and West
are responding to the patriotic tones of
FILLMORE the Constitution and the
Union ~ If the people of the South
will do their duty-if they stand by the
man who stood by them in their hour of
peril, when their dearest interests were
jeOpardized, he will be triunphantly elect
ed, and peace and harmony restored to this
distracted land.
Washington telegraph., 1856-09-24

DELAwARE.-A large and enthusiastic
Fillmore meeting was recently held in
'ili1ord, Del, and another in Dover, and
me Il, right sort of resolutions adopted
,they resolved to support Mr.. Fillmore, as
'ne only national candidate now before the
people. Push on that column.
Washington telegraph., 1856-09-24

OHIo.-The Americans of Ohio have
made arrangements for most vigorous
campaign in that State. They have, till
very recently, been Ignorant of the amount
Of their own strength They are aston
lshed at it, and feel confident that the two
opposing parties will be far more astonish-
ed than they are themselves.

GEORGIA-We learn from the .Sduan-
nah Republican that the friends of our
cause in Georgia have gone to work with
zeal and energy worthy of all praise,
and are confident of carrying the State
Large and enthusiastic FILLMORE meet
ings have been held in various parts OF
the State, which have been addressed by
Messrs- CRAWFORD, HILL, PoE, and 9TH
er able speakers, which have. told with
wonderful effect upon the popular mind
The Republican adds :-"Our cause is
evidently gaining strength every day"
Washington telegraph., 1856-09-24

PENNsYLvANIA.-T Old Keystone
is pushing forward in the good work.
An immense mass meeting of the friends
of FILLMORE and DoNELsoN was held at
Harrisburg, on the 25th ult, and the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed \ ire
mendous reaction is going on, and the
Keystone of the Arch is coming up to the
support of the National candidate with
great spirit. The Imericoa Union of a
late date, says:
ga well-informed and reliable gentle
man from Pennsylvania, who tarried last
night at Wallace's Hotel, says Two
weeks ago L could count but FIVE Fillmore
men in BrOwnsville-all was Fremontan
Republicanism-bu in the past weeks,
FORTY of my neighbors have avowed them
selves for Fillmore, and support him en-
Enthusiastically"
And SO it Is everywhere, from Maine to
Georgia While few huckstering pol
iticians, finding that they cannot use
Mr. FILLMORE as tool for the advance
ment of their selfish purposes, are aban-
doning him for odd Squatter Sovereign,
the honest, conservative masses are fock-
ing to his standard. The Union further
says:
ave say in candor that we believe Mil
lard Fillmore will get the p electoral
votes of Pennsylvania; and our belief is
founded on the unpopularity of Buchanan
with the laboring masses, and with the
Wings as the traducer of Clay, and the
acknowledged conservatism of both Fill
more and Donelson. These facts are
working in Pennsylvania

Editor Ashland Union I: SIR As YOU
appear to be laboring with c~ommendable zeal
to keep your readers posted in regard to all
matters affecting their political, social and pc
cunlary w~eifares, permit us to call their atten-
ton to the fact that we have just received the
heaviest stock of Spring and Summer Goods
that we have ever brought to this market. An
extended enumeration of our stock we deem
altogether unnecessary for the reason that eve
ry one who viii favor us with a call will find it
complete in every department. We would
simply simply say that it embraces articles of
everL style, variety and quality of Ladies'
Dress Goods, and G~entlemen's Summer Wear,
together with a large assortment of House
Keeping Goods, Queensware, Groceries, &c.
Having changed our mode of doing business,
it will be proper for Us to state, for the salts
faction Of our old customers, briefly, our rea-
sons for SO doing. Our first great object is to
sell goods CHEAP. To- do this we must have the
money to buy our goods cheap. We wish to
avoid the losses of bad debts and " long wind
ed" customers we wish to save the expense
of keeping books and making collections. By
so doing we can and will sell goods at much
less profits than is possible for any credit store
to do LIST, because we shall have the money
to buy our goods, which will save us 10 per
cent, 2nd, because we shall save the expense
of one Clerk Sd, we will save 5 per cent. for
making collections, losses by bad debts and
expense of books. All things considered, we
think it safe. to say that it will make q; differ
enee of at least Is per cent. to the consumer.
This being true we think every man, woman
and child who can pay for their goods, will
avail themselves of the advantages of this sys-
tenn. Those who never expect to pay fer their
goods, of course care but little about the price.
All those who wish to buy goods cheap for rea-
dy pay can find a stock of goods which for va
riety, styles and low prices, has never been
equaled in the County, by calling on their
friends and well-wishers,
