MEETING OF THE BUCHANAN CLUB
The largest meeting of this association that has
vet been held during the present campaign,
assembled in the Court House, on Saturday eve
ming last. The meeting was called TO order by
Hon. Jos MANN, President of the Club, and
was ably and effectively addressed by Gen.
Bowman, o. E. Shannon and G.. H. Spang,
Esqs. The speakers were frequently interrupted
with loud and continued applause.
The speech of Mr.. Shannon, was an able
and searching exposition of the frauds practsed
by the Abolitionists of this sscounty, last Fall. IN
obtaining the Fillmore vote for their own can
ddate, Fremont. He showed from the files of
the Abolition organ in this place, that whilst it
pretended TO be supporting Fillmore, it was
Publishing articles deeply tingrd with the doc
trineS OF the Fremont party, and that with Fill
moTe's name at The masthead, il was secretly
and indirectly labofing for lhe success of his
Abolition opponent. He referred 10 the fact
that this same Abolition organ had made very
favorable notice of 6oy. FoKD's speech here
last Fall, and of the Fremont meeting before
which it was delivered, and that it published
calls for Fremont and Dayton meetings, all of
which, said the speaker, were proofs Incontro-
yertble that those who managed its editorial de-
partment, although insisting that they were
friends of Fillmore, We're Fremont men in dis
gulse. H then advtrted to the charge Of bri-
berry preferred against certain of the Fillmore
press, by Mr.. Swoope, the Chairman of the A.
mfIiczn State Committee. The people of Bed
ford county, SAID he, were warned during the
last campaign, against the corruption and vt-
ratty Of the Opposition leaders. The proofs
are now before us, that that warning was not
given without sufficient cause. One OF the
principal newspapers belonging to the OpPos-
ton press Of The state, publishes communIca-
ton from the Chairman of the American State
Committee IN which the statement is made and
sustained by affidavit, ttnt Coz. Ford left the
sum Of $500 in this county as bribe for the
s0-cailed Fillmore paper, The wriggling and
twisting of that paper, under The charge, said
,Ir. shannon, serves but to convince the people
that there is ''more truth than poetry in the
allegations of Mr. Sw2ope. Nj. S. might
well have added, in the language OF the gifted
Conway:
~''lhe man Who takes bribe would strip the dead
ofEo6 the orphan of his crust of bread;
e"Iost to justice, equity and right,
LhIs man would steal the aged widows mite;
he prepared for every kind of fraud ..t
Io"Ssll his country, or betray his God,
f'ase the palace of the King of Kings.
AMI S;Fip the gliding from an angels wings"
After the speakers had concluded, the meet
ing adjourned amid deafening cheers, and loud
demonstrations of joy.

it weakness to attend to her toilet,

Universal Beauty:
BY JOSEPH A. BUTLER.

There's beauty in the winding dale;
There beauty in the hill;
There's beauty in the cataract,
And in the dancing rill.
There's beauty in the golden corn,
Wide waving bright and free,
Before the autumn gentle wind,
Like pillows on the sea.
There's beauty in the tall, green woods
That stand in glory proud,
Like brave host, emhattled firm,
TO dare the storm and cloud
Oh, there is beauty passing fair
In the wide rivers flow;
So wildly fringed with rock and shrub,
Amid the sunsets glow.
Majestic beauty lives around
The day-god' S glowing brow,
AS down the west his stecds of fire
Impcl his chariot now.
And there is beauty in the sky
So deep, so swectly blue:
Where sparkling gems of mystic light
Their living lamps renew.
There's beauty in the moons pale light,
Upon the lake and hill,
When Nature, like a sleeping child,
Lies swcctly hushed and still.
There's beauty in the early spring,
When orchards bud and bloom,
And welcome flowers unnumbered rise,
To breathe their rich perfume.
There's beauty in the mighty deep,
In ealm-or surging gale
And in the dark blue shadowy lake,
Gemmed with the snow-white sail
There's beauty in the earth and sea,
And in the azure air;
In 1t God hath given to man,
.n-re S beauty everywhere;

CHAPTER VI.

"Let me go at once for the medi-
cine,' said the daughter, the moment
Doctor Minor had closed the door af-
ter him.
Yes, dear. But -"
And the mother paused and looked
troubled. Then she went to some
drawers and searched carefully.
81 don't believe there is a cent in
the house, Anna. How are we to get
the medicine 2" she at length whis-
pcred.
The girls countenance, that had
been brighter since the doctor came
in, fell, and her eyes We're dimmed with
tears. She stood thoughtful mo-
ment, and then said, in low, answer
ing whisper
1--WE must have the medicine
"Yes-ycs. But how are we to
get it without money!"
81 will beg it, if can do no better
Where is the prescription If Mr..
Martin will not put it up, and wait for
us to pay him, l will go to Doctor Mil
nor"
eve must have it, my child. Get
it if you possibly can,' returned the
mother, looking away from her daugh-
tcr's face. ........ ..-.
Anna put on her bonnet, drew her
thin shawl about her shoulders, and
again went forth into the stormy
night. 1t was some distance to the
nearest drug store--only few dim
lights We're here and there seen strug-
Cling with darkness, and the rain was
falling heavily. A sense of fear took,
momentarily, possession of her but
a strong anxiety on account of her IA
ther, and her desire to get the medi-
cine for him that was to relieve the
violence of his present symptoms,
quickly dispelled this weakness. She
moved on in the direction Of the drug
store with rapid steps.
Heb stop look here? Where are
you going z" cried man, suddenly,
whom she had not before noticed, as
he started towards her from the oppo-
site side of the street.
Anna stood instantly still, from
fright her heart ceasing to beat, as
if she had suddenly become inanimate.
The man continued to advance, and
was within a few PAGES of her, when
her hearts returning pulsations sent
the blood again throughout her body,
and restored self-consciousness.-
Bounding away like a frightened deer,
she was soon beyond the reach Of harm,
if harm were intended her n..g ...s.l
"Wil you put this up for me 2" she
asked timidly advancing to the coun
ter, on entering the drug store, and
presenting the prescription that had
been left by Doctor Minor. There
were two or three men sitting by. i

That is beautiful superstition
which prevails among the Seneca
tribe of Indians. When an Indian
maiden dies, they imprison young
bird until it first begins to try its
power Of song, and then loading it
with kisses and carcsscs, they loose
its bonds over her grave, in the be-
lief that it will not fold it's wings nor
close its eyes, until it has flown to the
spirit-land, and delivered its precious
burden of affection to the loved and
lost. 1t is not unfrequent to see twenty
or thirty birds let loose over one grave

SIMPLICITY OF DREss.-Female lowell
ness never appears to so good advan-
tage as when set off with simplicity
of dress. No artist ever decks his
angels with towering feathers and
gaudy .jewelry and our dear human
angels; if they would make their title
good to that name, should carefully
avoid ornaments which properly be-
long to Indian squaws and African
princesses. These tinsels may serve
to give effect on the stage orupon ball
room floor, but in daily life there is no
substitute. for the charm of simplicity.
a vulgar taste is not to be disguised
by gold and diamonds. ..

Love and Friendship.
BY WILLIAM IEGGErr.

The birds, when winter shades the sky,
Fly DER the seas away,
Where laughing isles in sunshine lie,
And summer breezes play.
And thus the friends that flutter near,
While fortunes sun is warm,
Are startled if cloud appear,
And fly before the storm.
But when from winters bowling plains
Each other wablcr's past,
The little snow-bird still remains,
And chirrups midst the blast.
Love, like that bird, when friendships thron,
With fortunes sun depart,
Still fingers with its cheerful song,
And nestles on the heart.

POPULAR DEIUsIoNs.--That man can
write readable article before he I'M
derstands grammar, punctuation, or
the art of preparing Ms. for the press
That we elevate ourselves by at
tempting to bring down and depreci-
ate those who are above US.
That other people and their private
affairs ever form the great staple of
conversation among refined and proper
ly educated people.
That a girl of fifteen can make up
for her general ignorance by incessant
gabble. .. ......
That having made a fortune is
enough to entitle man to respect.
That a moustachc indicates large
supply of brains.
That the greatest takers are the
greatest thinkers.

SABBATH NIGHT.

How beautifully steal the evening
shadows over earth, at the close of this
the Hottest Day of all the Seven ! The
cares, the duties, the perplexities of life
have been laid aside for little, and the
heart has grown better amid the sweet /
influences of the Sabbath. The soul has
broken the cords that bound her to earth |
and scared away to breathe the air of
heaven, and thus is strengthened for the
temptations and conflicts of the coming
week. The sweet tones of the church |
bell have won US to the house of God, |
where man has plead for blessings with
his Maker where the songs of praise
have burst from lips attuned to melody,
and, as the speaker has pointed us
from earth to heaven, something more
than his words of burning eloquence have
touched our heart, and moistened the eye,
we have felt that God was there, and
that the place was holy. Thank God for
the Sabbath, with its softening, subduing
influence upon the earth-weary spirit
What would be life were it all one long
week of toll and striving without the
Sabbath to break the spell of worldliness?
But the evening comes slowly on. The
crimson and the purple clouds that make
the West so glorious at sunset, are mel
lowing their tints, while here and there
in the vaulted sky, star looks forth, and
listens to earth's yesper hymn. As the
twilight gathers over earth, so heavenly
thoughts steals to the heart. The holy
hush of the Sabbath stiffness resting on
the outer world lays its finger on the
spirit too and as we think on the NOR.
rows care and duties, we almost wish
that life were one Sabbath of holy aspi-
rations and worship without a setting sun
or evening shadows. But not on earth
, can this be, yet bye-and-bye, when the
! last Sabbath prayer is offered, when oul
feet have pressed the threshold of the
Sanctuary for the last time, then shall We
: be where prayer is turned to praise, anc
h the temple wherein we shall worship vii
f be city glorious with dazzling gold AM
Q gems, and and the gates of it shall no
II be shut at all by day; for there shall b
no night there Bye-and-bye the Las
e Sabbath on earth will come, and Their
1t will follow morrow of love, and joy, an
a peace in heaven.
