A RAT SToRY.-Two boys playing ID .
barn at Detroit found rat in q tub ofwster,
into which he had fallen while trying to
drink, and after poking him under several
times, left the tub-when q new actor ap-
peared on the stage in the person of an enor-
nous rat, and sagacious one, for, after
sundry frantic efforts to reach down and claw
the sufferer out, he fairly turned tail, and
setting his claws firmly into the board, ex.
tended his caudal appendage down into the
water, thus forming means ofescare, which
the rat in the water quickly ayailsd himself
Of. He set his clsss and teeth into it, and
held on like grim death, while the old fel-
loE started down the board by which he had
assembled the Tub, and tugged like day
horse, until hes brought his companion to tho:
top, when the two scsmpered Of, seemingly

the publication of this paper, our Office was
set on fire, and the greater portion of our
stock of paper, consumed. Some time
since, we employed printer named Thomas,
who robbed us of between $25 and $50,
and left for parts unknown. Shortly after
this, we took a young man into the. Office, to
learn the printing basiness. He left, and
we missed ten dollars. Week before last,
drove of hogs got into our garden, and des-'
troyed all our. potatoes, some thirty or forty
bushels. Didn't leave enough toask bless

half dozen COWS got into oui garden, and
demolished $50 heads of cabbage. Wednes.
day night, of last week, some scamp entered
our domicil, and abstracted therefrom, some
$35 or $40 in bank bills, and the principal
part of our wearing apparel. In fact, the

MY DEAR Old HOME.

MY DEAR OLD HOME.
Icameagain to my dear old home,
But years long since had sped,
And mid the raven locks Of youth
e, Lay many silvery thread;
The bounding .teps was slow and sad,
:, The sparkling eye grew dim,
And the bird-notes, once so blithesome, fell
Like the chimes of funeral hymn.
Hooked for the roof that sheltered once
y The loved of childhood's hours; -,-.
Isought for the hearth.stones-upon it lay
a., A mound of grass and flowers
The broad-armed oak whose sheltering shade
Was the scene Of our merry play,
"A moss grown stump marked out the spot
That told of its sad decay.
wandered down to the poplar spring,
And drank from its gushing stream,
But the draught had lost its magic charm,
The waves their golden CLEAN;
For the riping wave seemed to speak
With the tones of long ago ..
$Oh, many tuneful voice is still,
That mingled with their flow.
+ turned to seek with lingering step,
And spirit bowed and sad, -
For those Who blessed that lowly roof,
sa And made the hearthstone glad;
And I, found them all where the willow dropped
It's long green boughs around a,s
Some cherished form was resting there,
MEATH, each quiet grassy mound.
am forth again in the wide, cold world,
But where er my footsteps tread,
: The dearest spot will be to me
- The home Of the lovd ones dead.
The sunshine steals through the hanging boughs
With softened molly light,
And silent stars CLEAN purest there
In hush Of the summer night.

A GOOD WORD FOR THE LADIEs.-Some

A GooD WORD FOR THE LADIEs.-Some
of the papers are lecturipg women upon ex-
travagance in dress, and advising them, to
retrench, especially during the PRESENT. fnan-
cial difficulty. Doubtless there are many
cases of funwarrantable extravaganza IN this
way; but do people ever consider that two
or three glasses of brandy and half dozen
regalias, INDUCED in daily by man, to say
nothing of, five and ten dollar dinners, a.
mount to more in q year than would be re-
quired to dress a woman up to the full re-
quirsments of fashion! Much of this talk
about the extravaganza, of women. is nom
sense. They are almost universally careful,
and many trader would to day have been
safe and sound if he had listened to the pru-
dent counsels of his wife, rather than the
reckless promptings Of his own ambition
1t is natural for mean men to endeaVor to
shift the responsibility Of their folly to other
shoulders; but it is rather too much to
charge commercial revulsion like this upon
ones wife and daughter.-4ribune.

A YOUNG HusBAND.-A correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press says::
"On making a, call st the house Of tie
American missionary in Jerusalem, DE-. u

Judge my surprise whensI found he ,xmi sI
husband-being about ten. years old and hir
wife not quite nine! Truly this Is begin.
ming life young, and reminds me Of friend
who saw an American lady in Alexandra,
Egypt, who, though only twenty-six year Of
age, was a grandmother. This boy had
but recently contaminated the nuptial ties
ct the tomb of David, where the parents of
the bride resided. These ceremonies are
always attended with great pageanty. The
bride and bridegroom are borne along gon
tahter duan, or bier, concealed by . rich
silken canopy, and ornamented with tinsel
of gingerbread work, which is brilliantly IL.
Illuminated by the hambeaux carried aloft in
the hands of the friends of the parties
Swordsmen, musicians, and merry-andrews
accompany them to public fountain, where
they shake their nuptial robes clean of the
sins Of their youth, as the final to the
drama" 80.

LOGAN, THE INDIAN.-Logan, the cela-

jealous partisan of the English, and had Of.
ten distinguished himself in their service,
was taken prisoner and brought before the
General Assembly of Firginia, who hesitas,,
ted whether he should be tried By s scouft-
martial as soldier: or at the criminal bar I
for high treason. Logan interrupted their
deliberations, and stated to the asssmbE; ]
that they had no Jurisdiction to try him
"that heowed no allegience to the King gof'
England, being an Indian Chief indepen.

inquiries as to his motives for takinguparns

counting the ballots by some unscrupulous
persons, for instead of the counting Of the
ballots being exclusively confined to the
managers, which is the intention of the law
strictly interpreted; and (to perform their
duty correctly, it appears to us that all the
managers who assemble to count the votes
should meet in the Court House and then
and there count the votes and declare the
election,) it is the custom for each manager
on arriving at the Court House, to get any
one he can to assist him to count the ballots
which he has brought up, and they retire to
any convenient place, and in this loose way
most important duty is discharged. Under
such circumstances, it is not impossible for a
dishonest partisan, who may be pecuuiarily
interested, to change the result of the elec-
ton. We think it would be best for the
ballots to be counted at each precinct imme.
diately after the polls close, when persons in
terested on both sides would probably be pre-
sent, and let their managers certify the re-
suit, and sign their names and appoint one
of their number to take the votes and the
result so certified to the Court House, where
he should be compelled, under penalty, to
appear with the same on the day following
at 2 o'clock, P. NJ.
Having set forth our views in our petition,
we refrain from. saying more at present.
The subject is one of great interest and We
ask. our brother managers of the other Dis.
tricts to show some interest in this important
matter which will result benefcially to all.
