seem, few understood then, and still
fewer considered it possible to establish
the principle Of Observation-Disclosures, as
it is defined, of citizen sovercignty--as
a measure Of national pacifcation.
The Kansas-Nebraska bill had already
passed the Senate, and the House was
graphing with it in storm Of wild
commotion The chiefs of the old par
ties had resentful though vague intui-
ton that this new Issue would bring dis
may and ruin upon all their decrepid
organizations, and they closed in with it
in struggle for life and death.
In one of those hurricane days / saw
Douglas standing on the floor of the
House by the side of his dauntless battle
companion, Richardson of Illinois. He
was leaning lightly on one hand on the
desk, in an easy and unconstraincd, but
singularly defiant attitude. His face
steadily turned with firm, unrelaxing
gaze on the successive speakers as they
rose on both sides. The gallery was a
dense mass of eager faces, the floor a
surging mass of excited members. The
Speakers hammer ratified down its in
cessant rebukes, but Douglas looked i'm
passively on the hurricane he had arous-
ed, aud finally, with one last sweeping
glance over the arena, he threw up his
lion-head and with a strange expression
of unblenching resolution, he slowly
withdrew.
AT last, whom argument and inyective'
were exhausted, the conflict became ;
mere trial of physical endurance. Tit
daily sittings were protracted indeed int,
night, and continued on day after da,
until the vote was taken and the organi
cation of Kansas and Nebraska, on tn,
avowed basis of the principle of popula
sovereignty became law of the land.
The border difficulties that have fol
lowed grew out of the abuse and viola
ton of the principle of non-nterventiol
and the principle is no more answerabl
for the outrages perpetrated in its nam
than the pure religion of the Prince 0
Peace is for the prosecutions and butch
cries with which bigots have bathed tn
earth in the name of Jesus of Nazareth

A Trining Reduction.

On Tuesday last the door of our sane
tum opened, and presently our eyes fell
upon a pedlar crossing the threshold,
whose features and outer costume pro-
claimed him Of the House Of Abraham.
Opening large, oblong paper box, he
exposed countless heap of spcctacles,
and anxiously inquired if we did not
want "to buy"
Scarcely g!ancing at his wares, we re-
piled in the negative, and turned our
eyes on a heap Of exchanges lying before
us, innocenily fancying that our reply
and manner would serve rs n sufficient
hint TO drive the travelling merchant
fsom our presence. But VIC were too
verdant--the jew, like all the traffickinp
tribe, had not the slightest idea Of taking
no for an answer.
/ offer him you" he said, laying a
pair Of them before us, cash low as three
dollarsh. | mustn't shell II pair-I 'ay
sell noting to-day, and my wife and
shild 'av got no pred--you will take
him ?"
We shook our head.

Commitment to Printers.

John G. Rives, Of Virginia, In a re.
cent published letter on the subject of
public printing, has a word of suggestion
to writers for the press, and compliment
to the compositor, whose duty it not un-
frequently is to make sense out of very
senseless chiography. None but wri-
ter for the press can comprehend how
much truth there is in the veteran prin-
ter's remarks. Many members Of Con-
gress-and exc not few greater men
must have been surprised at the respec-
table figure they cut in print, without
thinking Of the toilsome labor and tho
exercise Of the better talent than their
own which had been expended by tho
journeyman printer in putting into good
shape the message or report Of a speech.
Mr.. Rives says 49," have seen tho
manuscript writing ofmost of the great
men Of the country during the past TWEEN
ty years, and think / may say that not
twenty Of them could stand the test Of
the scrutiny of one half The journeymen
printers employed in my Office. This
fact will be vouched by every editor in
the Union. To poor 'journeyman'
printer many great man owes his
reputation for scholarship, and were tho
humble eompositors to resolve, by con-
cert, to set up manuscript in their hands
over for one little week precisely as
it is written by the authors, there would
be more regulations slaughtered than
their devils could shake stick at in
twenty-fonr hours. Statesmen would
become small by degrees, and beauti-
fully less Many an ass would have tho
lions hide torn from his limbs. Men.
whom the world call writers, would wake
up mornings and find themsclyes--fa-
nous as mere pretenders -humbugs and
cheats p

piece from our pocket, and laying ii
temptingly on the table before him,
"we'll buy those spcctacles of you, If
you will tell us truly, what your profit

LEAVITT's LATEST IMPROVED
CORN Add cob MILL.
Young America Excelsior.

TIME attention of the Farmers of
a. Montgomery County, is asked to
this greatly improved MILL for Crushing and
Grinding Corn and Cob Meal-Horse feed gem
erally-and Meal from Shelled Corn.
1t is now well known that all animals are
improved in every respect by the use Of ground
food, because Of its more easy and complete
digestion.
1t is now well known that working animals
for the same reason, are kept in good condition
at less cost by the use of food so prepared.
But while these principles Of true economy are
so generally understood, many have been un-
willing to procure suitable Mills, because oftheir
expensive neutrality-suspicious. showing
that the Corn and Cob Mills heretofore before
the public, with the grinding plates cast solid,
with the two main portions Of the Mill, in
grinding for the use of an average sized farm
will wear smooth and become useless in about
two years among such is the . Little Giant, +"
" Changers Magic MIL, etc.
In buying the EXCELSIOR MILL this OBJ
lection is entirely obviatcd, as it isa Permanent
Mill. The Grinding Plates 1.-THE only parts
that wear OUT being two detached rings, cast
seperate from the main and expensive parts OF
the Mill, each bolted on with three small bolts,
and when worn smooth readily replaced in ten
minutes at a cost of only So.
We name among the other advantages this
Mill possesses over the other Portable Iron Mills
in use, that the regulating Of the fineness OF
grinding is done by simply turning one central
set screw. The meal instead Of being scattered
ground as in other mills, is brought out at one
spout and no weight is required on the rearend
Of the sweep as a balance.
Wherever the Young America Excelsior has
been introduced il has superseded all others OF
the kind.
This mill win grind from to 20 bushels per
hour, according to fineness, and the grinding
is light work for two horses.
PRICE $50 including an extra set Of grind
ing places making it equal to two ordinary
Mills. They viii be promptly delivered at any
point on the Railroad or in the District Of
Columbia, freight from Baltimore added.
Orders by mail promptly attended to.

A Blr or RoMANcE. The following
bit Of romance occurred at one Of tho
mining villages of the Cumberland Coal
and Iron Company. About two years
ago a man who had been married for
many years, departed for the West.
leaving behind him wife and one child,
boy, perhaps six years Of age About
three months since, the wife, who is n
Scotch woman, having received no intel
ligence Of her absent husband, and be-
lieving him to have departed to that
bourne whence no traveller returns, felt
that her lone condition might be ameIi-
Grated by taking to herself another lord,
who was then suing for her hand with
imprisoned eloquence. They were
united in the holy bonds Of wedlock,
and everything moved on between tho
two as SMOOTHLY as marriage bell. On
one day last week, however, as tho two
were setting costly together who should
step in upon them but the lady's first
husband. If the earth had opened be-
meath them, the pair could not have
been more startled. The prcdicament
was an awkward one. The wife was
overwhelmed with grief, but at once
protessed her desire 10 go with her first
husband. To this he demurrod, but
demanded his boy, some eight years Of
age. His spouse would not agree to it.
and the husband departed, chewing tho
cud of bitter meditation. lie came az
far ~ Cumberland, and rejecting upon
the pat and It's joys, bis present loneli-
ness and droariness Of tho future, ho
concluded % return, and once moro take
his wife and child 10 his heart. They
agreed 10 60 with him, and on Friday
tho man, wife and child took the cars al
the village for the West, the newly made
husband assisting thom 10 depart, and
wishing them long and happy life.-
They passed through this city rejoicing
IN their way to tho beautiful land Of
lowers. The husband and wife are past
he meridian Of their days. aud showed
much attachment toward each other .

FORGIVE.

FORGIVE.
The rain falls on the barren hill
AS on the fertile vale
Then why, oh man, shouldst thou refuse
To list to sorrows wall
The bird sings in the scraggy tree
Though greater ones are near
Then why shouldst thou turn in contempt
From beseeehing tear?
The violet blue sheds sweet perfume
Along the dusty road
Then why shouldst thou refuse the aid
Asked in the name of God
Heavens plying mercy falls ON all
The high, the low, the poor,
And, oh frail man, how canst thou scorn
A beggar from thy door?
The golden sun, the silver moon,
The little stars so bright
Shed both on all their genial beams
Their pure, pelucid light.
Then mortal as thou dost wear the palms
And with the angels live,
Turn not away from pain and wo,
But pity and forgive

WE RESPECTFULLY inform the Farmers

EXCLUSIVE AGENCY for supplying them
with this invaluable Machine, for 1856, and So
licit their early orders.
In buying McCORMICK'S REAPING AND
MOVING MACHINE, YOU MAKE NO ExpERi-
MENT. 1t has been long in use and well tested.
The whole world knows it TO be the best most
complete tcorking and thoroughly reliable Ndchiae
in use.
1t is very substantially made with heavy
wrought iron finger-beam, serrated sickle-edged
Cutter, very seldom requiring to be ground
the Reel draws up the grain to the Sickle, land
ing it admirably on the platform to the Raker's
hand. 1t is easily adjusted 10 cut any feight
Of stubbe, from one inch to fourteen, without
moving bolt. 1t does its work perfectly and
equally so, whether the grain be heavy or light,
tangled or fallen, wet or dry, and at any rate
Of speed.
In Moving the Reel effectually clears the
finger-beam Of grass and other substances; thus
preventing the sickle from choking, leaving the
grass beautifully spread for curing, and requir-
ing no other hand but the driver. 1t cuts n
swarth near six feet wide, and at a fair farm
work gait does the work of fire cradlerS and
mo'rers.
In evidence of the entire satisfaction this ma
chine gives, we state that Of the 1850 machines
made and sold last year, placed into all kinds
Of hands, and over the grain growing parts of

given Mr.. Mccormick an intimadon Of wish
