GENIUS AND TALENT.-A highly esteemed
and intelligent lady friend, who it will be seen
is laudably ambitious, in writing us private
note, digresses from the main line of her dis
course to speak of Genius aud Talent She
will please pardon us for transferring what
she says upon this point to our columns
Here it is: ~ sF q V
The Countess of Bessngton says See
MUS is the gold in the mine, and Talent the
miner that brings it forth" And Bulwer
says =
| Talent convinces-genius but excites;
| This darks the reason, that the soul delights,
Talent from sober judgement takes its birth,
And rtconeiles tue pnion to the earth .
Contented not till earth he left behind;
Talent, the sunshine cultured soil,
Ripens the fruit by slow degrees for toll. ...
Genius, the sudden Iris of the Skies
On cloud itself reflects its wondrous dyes:
And, to the earth, in tears and glory given, ...
Clasps in its airy arch the pomp of Heaven!
Talent gives all that vulgar critics need
From its plain horn book learn the dull to read.
Genius, the Pythinn of the beautiful,
Leaves its large truths riddle to the dull
From eyes profane n vail the Iris screens -
And fools on fools still ask What Hamlet means ??
So much for Genius and Talent. Neither,
it seems, can be knoa0n without the fingers of
Labor make them visible and let the distinc
tive elements of either be what they may, if
particle be in me it shall be brought ont.
Thomas B. Read says =
| Full many weary heart and spirit broken,
| Pines for the want Of intellectual food
| poverty scarce second to the want of bread.'
Did you ever think of that? I had not
until [ saw the lines, when l felt the truth
with tear in my eye, and throb at my
heart"
Tt nice distinction to draw line between
Talent and Genius, yet our best authors APP
pear 10 have regarded them as two distinct
qualities of the mind. Dryden doubtless
had this in view when he wrote -
Time, place. and action may with pains be wrought.
But Genius must be born, and never can be taught"
Without discussing the merits Of this opn-
ion we will be pardoned for remarking that the
following lines, from Trumbul's McEingal,
could be just as appropriately applied to Tai
ent as to Genius -
| For Genius swolls more strong and clear
When close confned--ke bottled beer"

kgOn the twelfth inst. shocking acci-

resulted in the death of from 60 to 70 per-

swings, and was not in its place on the ap-
proach of the local accommodation train,

MIXING THE BABIEs-A DISTRESSING PRE-
DIcAMENT.--A very singular occurrence in
volving the identity Of two newly-born speci-
mems Of "Young America" is related by the
Easton Daily Express, as having transpired
recently in Lower Mt. Bethel township, Nor
Hampton county. A lady who was about to
present her iege lord with a "pledge of af-
fec.ion," engaged the services of a worthy
dame in the neighborhood to assist her thro
the period Of confinement. The nurse was
called, and very promptly made her appear
ance, when it was discovered that she was
herself quite as much in need Of the services
OF an accomheur as the lady of the house.
The sequel is soon told Two fine boys were
horn, in the hurry and confusion consequent
upon this unexpected turn in events, they got
80 mixed up that it was impossible TO deter
mine with any certainty as TO the maternity
OF the children. AS might be supposed,
great deal OF discussion ensued, and the mo-
theirs OF the babes were greatly distressed !;
but the best that could be done under the
circumstances, was for the party present to
assign the children to the mothers. and wait
developments Of the future. If the growth
of the children should discover any strong
family resemblance, the ladies can swop back
aud make the matter all right, but without
such developments, they must ever remain in
doubt as to the genuineness of their "pre-
eiols Garlngs." 1t is very distressing case !;
and the folks present ought to have known
better than to have got a pair of babies mix
ed up; but on such occasions people will get
into furry and strange things are very ia-

THE NOMINATIONS,

Our readers will find in another column the
proceedings of the County Convention 10
nominate democratic ticket. The result
Is what we expected, and is mere confrma-
tion OF what had been agreed upon in the
secret caucus or late letting in this place
The only question not finally settled at that
caucus, when the allotments were made. was
the Office of Prothonotary, which was left, in
a measure, to depend on subsequent events.
which would necessary develope themselves
before the convention met. That great dis
satisfaction exists among the best portion of
the democracy of this county, there can be no
question. That such would be the result of
the present system, which was devised for
the purpose of concentrating all power in the
hands OF few wire-workers in this place,
might have been easily foreseen. When peo.
pie surrender their conscience as well as their
power into the hands of committee, to ACT
Tor them, they should not complain if their
masters become tyrannical in their exactions.
This committee have declared that they
would appoint the judges to hold the prima,
ry elections, because the people could not
% trusted or properly perform that duty, and
although the committee might appoint an
aVowed Republican and supporter of Fremont,
as they did do iu the late election, it was not
for them TO complain.

ELYsBURG, Aug. 25th, 1857.
DEAR AMERICAN In my last we gave you
somewhat unceremonions introduction to
the circle Of arts and trades pursued here,
and ut the same time briefly alluded to the
comparative eXcellcncy and perfection OF EACH
But every picture is said to have two sides; ;
and it might not be NAL a prOpos to proceedin
the present and inform all who do not already
know it, (few though they be) that notwth-
standing all these pleasing evidence of pros
perity, there is one thing that Elysburg yet
lacketh-money She has no Bank. Pour
into her gaping purses and empty Golfers the
millions Of little almighties that Uncle Sam
has going to waste, and she will have more
friends and more influence than any similar
village in "good old Northumberland"
Oh. Money! Money Thou omnipotent
phantom. With what creative potency thy
saddle endows its jaded wearer! With as
much truth as poetry modern writer has
said
"If you're rich, you're all perfection;
None will ask, how came you sol
To your views there's no objection,
You say yes-who dares say MOI"
Such, indeed, is the way the world wags-
it seems that
"UOluen specks are all the fashion,
lis through them we see our friends "
And it is for this highly important reason,
if for no other, that covet Bank in Elys-
burg True, the people here are all wel-to-
do, and some even .frst-rdte-to.do (; neverthe-
less, all feel the Inconvenience resulting from
laboring under the disadvantages of partial
trust and credit system, which necessarily
makes labor heavy and purses light. While
descantng on this topic few evenings ago
with friend, 10y the by, slave of the
counter he gave expression to the following
unvarnshed sentiment:
awe scarcely know who all to trust,
Since man to man is so unjust;
We've trusted many to our sorrow,
So pay to-day and trust to morrow.
This maxim's good and should be kept.
"Twoald keep all people out ofdebt,
So pay the bills and save dun
For all can pay as well as one
The wcrld is large and peoped full,
Yet times are hard and business dull,
Money is scarce and hard to get,
Settle your bills-keep out of debt"
remarked to him that the editor and his
money boarding delinquent had been forgot
ten, wbereupon the following
sand editors who WELD the pen,
Deserve, like we, what's due to them.
For them we say to one and all
Fay up, pay up don't wait call"

E3y LOCATION OF THE RAILROAD THRouGu
TowN.-On Wednesday last Mr.. FAIRIES,
Chief Engineer on the Sunbury & Erie road
with Mr.. Morrison, his assistant, Mr.. War
ford, Chief Engineer Of the Northern Central
road, with Mr.. Wright, one of his assistants,
were in town making examinations aud ar
rangements for the junction and final location
of the two roads through the Borough. Ac-
cording to their respective charters, the
Northern Central terminates at Market
street, aud the Sunbury & Erie commences
at that point. The difficulty is to decide
upon what street the road is to be located
From what we could learn from the Engi-
neers, they have come to the determination to
locate the road either through River street or
Deer street Many Of our citizens would
prefer its location east of the town. The
location is for passengers and through freight,
and not for coal. The matter will not be
decided until further surveys are made.
