An Example for Young Men.

Elk Gov. Andrew Johnson, recently
elected to the U. States Senate from Tenn,
is tailor by trade, and learned tho ru.
dimenls Of his education from his wife
and at such intervals of time as he could
snatch from his daily labor. He is
scarcely fifty years Of age, and has
worked his way, step by step. to position
second to that Of the Presidency, under
great disadvantages. This is one of the
beauties OF our Republican form Of gov.
emmont-the highest Office may be at
tanned by the humblest citizen, and the
example of Andrew Johnson, of Tenn,
should encourage every youth in the land
TO honorable ambition. THE Winchester

The clock struck ten, | seized my hat
and babe good night TO all, except the
lass courted; she came with me thro'
the hall, she stood within the portal, and
| gazed upon her charms; and oh! |
longed that moment TO clasp her in my
arms. She spoke about the moon and
stars-how clear and bright they shone;
| said thought the crops would fail un'
less we had rain soon. Then | edged a
little closer, put my arms around her
waist, and gazed upon those rosy lips |
longed so much, to taste. Said |, my
dearest Susy, I'll never rest contented, il
| leave tonight without kiss, III surely
60 demented. Then up she turned her
rosy mouth, and everything was handy;
quick from her lips | seized a kiss, oh
Yankee doodle dandy! Then off for home
| started, could no longer stay; with a
light heart and breeches thin, | whistled
all the way. Hence learn this truth, ye
bashlul youth, who seek for welded bliss,
no lass will love until you move her
feeling with kiss.

1886 AND 1S57.-THE DIrFERENcE,-
The Newark Gazette illustrates from its
files the wide difference between the
condition Of the country in the two crises
of 1886 and 1857. In the former crises
the country was poor. The crops were
cut off the year before, and when the
general bank suspension took place in
May, flour was selling in New York at
81 25 per barrel. On the lst Of June

Multiiudes OF our friends arc complain

wondering whether we shall ever have
any better times. All around US there
are croakers who imagine that the pres.

portunity to give currency to their no.

as much as our monetary troubles do,
and there is but one remedy against their
progn ostications--that is, to advertise in

much alarmed about bank bills, for they

1t is, therefore, polite for our traders
to exhibit their cards to the public thro'
the medium of the newspapers. If their
local trade is dull, il does not follow that
their country custom need be also dull
and we have given one reason, to which
more might be added, why country trade
should be considered an important ele

carry off the palm in competition with

casion. Nearly all the victorious nags
were of the Albion breed. Were it
not that our space is limited we would
give detailed account of the races,
in order to more clearly show the sue

breed. In fact it is claimed by those
who profess to know, that Seabreeze,
an Albion nag, made the quickest mile
heat at the last races that has ever
been made on the track.
Palo Alto is of Albion descent. His
pedigree we have given before, and is
in the hands of Col. Robertson. More
concerning this fine young stallion
will be given to the public ere long.

failed, and being mixed up with its az
fairs, MIR. II. went down with it. Since
then his business on Wall street has
been given up, his publication has
