" A member of the Worcester Disunion
Convention reported that Mr. Sumner has
said to him, "that he intended to deliver a
speech at Washington which, compared to his
other one, would be like fourth proof brandy
to molasses and water, and that when he de-
livered it, he expected to be shot.'' The
Herald says, that if Mr.. Sumner has been
talking in such a crazy STYLE his case is one
demanding the closest vigilance of his friends.

POETRY Y.
Freaks of the Frost.


The Frost looked forth one still clear night;
And whispered, ''Now shall be out OF sight,
So through the valley, and over the height
In silence I'll take my way.
| will not 90 on like that clustering tram,
The wind and the snow, the hail and the rain'
Who make so much hustle and noise in vain'
But I'll be as busy as they
Then he few to the mountain and powdered us CREST
He lit ON the trees, and their boughs he dressd
In diamond beads; and over the breast
OF the quiveriug lake he spread
A coat OF mall that need not fear
The downward point of many spear
That he hung on its margin far and near
Where Il rock could rear its head.
He went to the window of those who slept,
And over each pane, like fairy, crept
Wherever he breathed, wherever he steppd
By the light of the moon were seen
Most beautiful things there were flowers and trees;
There were beyies of birds and swarms OF bees
There were cities with temples and towers, all these
All pictured in silver sheen.
But he did one thing, that was hardly fair;
He peep d into the cupboard, and finding there
That all had forgotten for him to prepare,
"Now Just TO set them thinking,
I'll bite this basket of fruit" said he;
This costly pitcher I'll burst in three;
And the glass of water they've left for me
Shall thick to tell them I'm drinking"

INFLUENCE OF CRY LIFE.-Rev. DR.. Scott,
the eminent Presbyterian divine, has been lee
turing before the Mercantile Library Association
of San Francisco. His views of the influence OF
city life on youth widely differ from many who
have treated on the subject, but are well worthy
attention:
The country and the village may be the best
place for the birth and early training of youth ;
jut it is in the excitement of the city that the
highest developments of the mind are made
The powerful minds that have swayed the destl-
nies of mankind, though not commonly born in
the great city, have generally gone to reside
there to feel the pressure Of that activity which
would draw out their strength, and to md a
theatre suitable for their talents. Our men of
letters have their homes in or near our largest
cities. Hume, whose authority is great in all
matters of mere literary experience, says that "a
great city is the only fit residence for a man of
letters This is true. In the country there
may be leisure, but there will be want Of i'm
pulse for intellectual pursuits The mind Ian
guishes in the midst ofa wilderness. "Tis bet
ter" in the development Of the intellect, "to
dwell in the midst of alarms, than reign" in a
horrible solitude. The mind without congenial
spirits stagnates ut gathers the rust of decay
as the immortal Chalmers says, "by its mere
distance from sympathy and example" See his
polity of cities. 1t is the presence of libraries
and OF literary men, and under the pressure of
intense excitement that the human mind ordi-
nary comes forth in its greatest power.

"FUEL FAMINE" AT THE WEsT.-The position
of Cincinnati with respect to fuel is said to be at
present emphatically that of famine. Thirty-siS
cents bushel is now the price by the load tor
coal, and exceedingly difficult to obtain at that
whereas the usual price is about 10 cents. The
Gazette of Wednesday comments severely upon
the conduct of several railroad companies in
failing to supply cars to those who have con-
tracted to deliver coal in the city at 10 cents
and 1S cents per 'bushel. 1t adds
'There is much severe suffering on account OF
the fuel famine. In consequence Of the difficult
ties mentioned above, and the failure of con-
tractor in Hamilton to deliver three thousand
cords of wood purchased from him last June,
the directors of the Inirmary had yesterday nc
fuel whatever to supply the numerous destitute
widows and others depending upon them. The
consequences were most painful. We were pres
ent ourselves when a poor, weeping widow as
sured the board that her daughter was dying,
could not live until night; she was watching by
the bedside without fire to keep herself warm,
or to furnish the necessary aid to her departing
child To meet exigencies of this character
some wood was borrowed, and small supply OF
coal obtained at thirty cents bushel."
At Louisville there is also II "tuel famine,
and coal has advanced to 40 cents a bushel.-
The short supply is attributed to the low water
in the Ohio river during the summer, and the
close of navigation soon after there was rise.

A PERPETUAL GovERNoR-It seems that ow-

Mississippi, that State has perpetual Governor.
The Matches Free Trader, of Tuesday last says {:
"In his late message to the Legislature on this
subject, which we publish this morning, Cover
nor McRae says that he is Governor for life
We should have no objection to his being Gov
ernor of Mississippi for many years to come
but the organic law of the State provides that
the Governor shall be elected every two years.
But it seems that the botch work of the Legis-
lature of 1854, in submitting changes to the Con-
stitution, having managed to make the term OF
governorship perpetual. and no one can tell
when the official term of the Judges and men,
bers of the Legislature will expire.

MARRIAGE EXTRAoRDINARY.-Ihe Presbyte-
rian General Assemblies have been disputing
for long time concerning the propriety of a
man marrying his deceased wifes sister. The
legality OF a nearer and more delicate relation
ship being established by marriage has just been
decided by our Court of Appeals. 1t is alto
gether proper-so says that learned tribunal,
the highest authority in the State-for man to
marry his mother-in-lao! The quartette of
of Judges came TO this decision after this fashion
and upon the following case
Ellen Bell married Samuel Bell her SON.
in-law Mr. B. died. leaving the interesting
widow, and several children by his first wife,
whose grandmother was at the same time their
step-mother These children refused to grant
the old lady her dover, and hence the suit.
The cause was brought before Judge Pryer,
the late learned and estmable Judge Of the adj
joining circuit He decided that the marriage
was void, as the parties were within the degrees
of relationship fixed by the statute of 1913.
An appeal was then taken. and the adjudica-
tion of the lower Court was reversed. The
Court of Appeals decided that there was no
prohibition to such marriage by the statute of
1799-that marriages within the Leyitical de-
gree are not void though voidable.
Accordingly, if any man desires to marry his
mother-in-aw, he can go ahead. The law Is on
his side-L0uiscile Journal

CURE FOR THE QuINzY.-This painful disease
and do not know my simple cure.
The throat, as far.as affected, should be greas-
ed with lard, then apply good thick coat of
tar, and bind it on with cloths. If it is done at
night, the sufferer can go to bed and get up next
morning, and on removing the cloths there will
only be dark stain to wash away. The grease
prevents it from being hard to wash off. Re-
member this now.
