New Method of Extinguishing Love.

Twenty summers, piercing eye, brown
locks, fine sillxen moustache, faultlcss
crayat-are not these seductive? All these
combined had an irresistible effect upon a
susceptible young maiden, Marquitta de y.
So long as our two lovers held this mute
language-this innocent, telegraphic, hic-
roglyphieal communication, which escapes
all surveillance and denies all repression
everything went well. But love is insatia-
bic; it sees little things, but it is not content.
SO it was with our two lovers. The young
man was soon emboldened; Marquitta ia
miliarized herself with peril! Some fervid
words exchanged; soon the lover was in
troduced into the house one fine day, and
there, seated upon the door-sill, the two en-
gagged in conversation. leave them there
to thipk of their happiness. Alas it was
to be of short duration
Marquitta had father who loved his
daughter, and watched her without being
seen, and resolved to put an end to these
dialogues and give the charmer a lesson
which would ph an end to his enthusiasts.
One day our elegant had arrived at his ac-
customed post; the blinds were opened, the
adored head Was seen at the easement, and
soon the gleyed hand of the adolescent was
introduced through the perfdious bars,
armed with billet, which another little
white hand reached up to receive.
Now was the time. An iron hand seized
the mprudent hero. His hand was held as
in vice, and was Immediately tied to the
CRATE with strong cord; and thus fastened
he was left alone. Very soon, however, a
frightful voice from the room of domestic,
posted by the father. cried out, .sHelp! help
help! Fire! fire in the stairway! water! wa
ter!''
The doors of the upper stories were
opened and the frightened tenants came
rushing out armed with buckets and pitch
ers. and the water began to fall in torrents
upon the deienceless head of II. .unfortu-
nate, who dared neither move nor cry out.
When the first panic subsidcd, they were
astonished not to see any smoke; the
neighbors gathered around, and looked, and
laughed, and wondered, when the father,
with smile upon his lip, said, Tranquil
ize yourselves, my friends, and thanks for
your security, the fire was simply in the
heart of this young gentleman"

gallantry. Their expansive proportions
and engrossing dimensions are destined to
a collapse in 1858, if we may credit the
Paris correspondent of the New York Cou-

OF this State, we are glad to learn promise

The plentiful rains which have fallen late

our late season of drouth and starvation.

The Beauties Of Nature and the Fine Arts.


Has this. or any subject, been exhausted,
so that all pertaining to it must be reca-
pitulation of old ideas? Let that be as it
may, there is, at present, toolittle attention
given to these reiners of society.
A universal complaint, throughout our
entire country is, that 'sthe masses are coarse
in feeling, taste and department" These
uncouth elements of sosiety always have
and always will disappear just as soon as
civilization grasps these re6ncrs Of human
ity. ~
Much might be said Of the exquisite
beauty Of Natures footsteps, which has
not appeared in modern print. if it ever did,
Many are in the ''back seats of Natures
gallery and there WILL remain, unless
something more than importuning is used
Different are the works of Nature from
those of Art, although the two specimens
may, to the naked eye, appear to display
equal beauty, yet when examined by the
microscope the artificial emblem of Nature
becomes coarse and inferior, while there is
nothing but magni6cence and beauty re.

is conducted. - - 've

Strange and Melancholy Death. :

On last Sunday week, the daughter of
Squire Scudder, of Liberty township,
while reading piece of Poetry entitled
"Do they miss me at home," was SO much
affected that she tainted. Her mother i'm
mediately sprung to her assistance, and to-
gether with Mr. Seudder, her father, did
all in their power to revive her. 1t was
fifteen minutes before she became fully SEN
sible. Her mother had lost all hopes Of
her recovery again to life, and ran to the
door exclaiming she was very unwell, at
the same time throwing up quantity Of
froth and blood. Mr.. Scudder assisted his
wife to bed, and in less than one hour shc
was corpse. She was in perfect health
previous to this. Her death, no
doubt, was from the rupture of blood
vessel, caused by the sudden death, as she
thought, of her daughter. Hamlten o. }

The Evansville Journal says a farmer
friend of ours was in our sanctum yestcr-

his Journal from the Post Office on the day
of its arrival he had lost fifty dollars. A
few weeks since he had two hundred bush
els of corn to dispose of, and the day after
the Weekly Journal arrived at his Post
Office, spcculator came along and bought
his corn at fifty cents bushel On receiv-
ing and opening his paper he found that
corn was quoted in Evansville at eighty
cents, and that the price was advancing
The speculator sold the corn few DAYS
after for ninety cents. Every farmer who

A Differences.

The only apprcciable difference, SAYS the
Chicago Tribune, between the amalgama-
tion doctrines held by the nigger- making
Democracy and the doctrines held by the
Garrisonians, is this; Garrison and his
friends believe that before amalgamation
begins, marriage should unite the amalga-
mating parties; Douglas and his friends go
N for amalgamation without marriage, as
the great number Of yellow boys and girls
and the few mixed marriages in the South,
certainly prove. The popularity of the or
thodox Democratic beliefs due no doubt,to
this fact-without marriage there is no le-
gal impediment to fathers selling his
own ch ldren--a practice to which the most
vociferous brawlers about "Abolitionists"
are not little addicted. Between the two,
the Garrisonians are much the most re-
spectacle people. They are guilty in the
ory of amalgamation only, while their re-
vilers, the niggermakers, are not only a
malgamationists, but adulterers also.
