We find the following parody upon
McKay's Tell me, ye winged Winds"
going the rounds:
Tell me, We winged winds,
That round my pathway roar,
Do ye not know some spot,
Some lone and pleasant dell,
some "holler" in the ground,
Where babies never yell,
Aud cradles are not found2
The loud wind blew the snow into my face,
And snickered as it answered-"Nary place"
Tell me thou misty deep,
Whose pillows round me play,
Knowest thou some favored spot,
some island far away,
Where weary man may find
A place to smoke in peace,
Where c%rinoline is not,
And hoops are out of placer
The loud waves, sounding a perpetual shout,
Stopt for a while, and spluttered, "Yeou git
eout."
Tell me, my secret soul
Oh! tell me, Hope and Faith,
Is there no resting place
From women, girls and death?
Is there no happy spot
Where bachelors are blessed
Where females never go,
And'man may dwell in peace?
Faith, Hope, and Love-best boons to mortal
given
Waved their bright wings, and answered.

A GRAPHIC PICTURE.

Parson Brownlow, of the Knoxville
| (Tenn.) Wing, has established for himself
IN the newspaper world very general rep
utation as a plain spoken gentleman. This
reputation, his readers well know, is emf
nently his due The Parson, in late
number of his paper, launches forth a
characteristic philippe against "all the
world and the rest of mankind" Discour-
sing under the caption, +" Rascality Aboun-
ding" he says:
The Gospel is preached to the people
regularly, all over the country-religious
papers and magazines are circulated in fam
lies, and many valuable persons set good
examples before the world-but notwith-
standing all this, and more, observation
teaches us that rascality abounds in all
classes of society. Petty thefts are daily
committed-such as robbing money draw
ers, stealing clothes and dry goods, chick
ems, ducks, corn and other eatables. Stroll
ling vagabonds, dealing in counterfeit
money and diseased horses, all over the
country Gamblers, travelling and local,
and resident rogues, are ON the alert Pi-
Gus villains with faces as sanctifed as the
moral law, are keeping false accounts and
swearing to them for the sake of gain
Whiskey shops are selling by the small, in
violation of the law. Drug stores are
training up drunkards in high life, and af-
fording facilities for Sabbath drinking,
which can be had nowhere else The rich
are depressing the poor, and the poor are
content to live in rags and idleness. Coun-
try dealers in produce come to town and
exact two prices for all they have to sell,
and owners Of real estate in towns are ask
Ing double rents, to the injury of business
and the growth of towns. Banks and cor
porations, intended for the public good,
have their fayorites, and are partial in the
distribution of favor Families envy each
other individuals SANDER their betters.
Persons Of low origin put ON airs and pre-
tend to be more than they are Cheating
and misrepresentation, are the order of the
day generally.
In word, rascalities abound among all
classes and in all countries The devil is
stalking abroad in open daylight, without
the precaution to dress himself! And if
the present generation of men could see
themselves in the Gospel Glass, they are as
black as hell /"

EXTRAORDINARY CASE.

4 Dirk Trareling Fourteen Years
through Mans ,SI,uH-W met with the
most interesting case this morning which
has occurred in our experience for long
time. We were introduced to gentleman
who gave us a practical exempliication of
the wonderful Fourteen or fifteen years
ago he states that he was passing down
Baltimore street, late at night during
heavy storm, when he met near Frederick
street, three men and woman. He gave
them the way, but being violently jostled
by one of them, he upr;pided them some
what sharply, when they attacked him
Being powerful man, standing about six
feet in his shoes, he soon laid two of them
horS lu comJat, and chased the other to
the opposite side of the street, where he
felled him to the ground, and where, lean
ing over him, he received blow in the
left temple, which staggered as well as be-
wildered him for a few moments. Upon
recovering himself his assailants had fed,
and feeling the blood flowing pretty freely
from the wound; proceeded to physician,
who soon found that he had been stabbed,
the instrument entering about half way
between the eye and ear, and breaking off
short, leaving considerable length of
blade in his Eead All effort to extract it
proved futile.
Strange to say, he felt very little pain or
Inconvenience from his condition. The
wound soon healed, and he attended to his
regular avocations as if nothing had hap
pened Three years after the wound again

ing the rugged edge of the blade, made
several efforts to draw it out, and, after q
considerable labor, drew from the wound q
| portion of the base of the broken dirk,
! which measured within fraction of two
inches in length This part of it gave an
idea of the part remaining, which was sup
posed to be piece of about the same size
taken away.
For eleven years longer did it continue
in this condition, when, just about two
weeks since, after suffering great degree
of pain on the right side of his nose, near
the corner of his eye, on the opposite side
to where he received the wound, and con-
siderable swelling appearing, he went to

diseased part, found the point of the blade

through the bones of the head, and after
fourteen years, made its appearance in the
above locality. Such is its position, plain
to the eye, and wonderful to be believed,
excepting by an eye witness. DR. Smith,
we understand, proposes, in short time to
operate for its expulsion. We have often
heard of pins and needles being swallowed
and in after years making their appearance
in different parts of the body, but that the

LAW INDICATED IN ENGLAND

A ship lately sailed from England with
remarkable freight. 1t was convict
ship. 1t bore as condemned prisoners Sir
John Dean Paul and his two partners.
Bates and Strahan; Redpath, Wholesale
forger; Robson, the Crystal Palace swim
dler; and Saward, barrister, who, after a
successful career of fraud, that had lasted
for more than twenty years, had been final
ly detected. These men were all well ed
ucated, had enjoyed good social positions,
and were apparently above the reach of
suspicion. "The imputation of petty
falsehood, or a mean shuttle to quote the
words of London newspaper, "would
have filled them with Indignation and yet,
at this moment, they wear the conyiet's
dress, and herd with the common mob of
vulgar criminals, the touch Of whose pas
sing garments would once have been held
a foul pollution"
1t must be acknowledged that, whatev-
er other faults England may have, she at
least yindicates the law, irrespective of
rank and influence. This has been her
boast for generations. From the times
when Bacon was stripped of his dignities
when Straford was brought to the scat
told-when Earl Ferrers was hung for
numbering his steward, down to our own
day, no station has been high enough to
protect criminal from the justice of the
outraged law. Neither Eank, nor wealth,
nor political Importance Neither the friend
ship of the judges, nor connection with
the highest nobility, has been able to screen
ha off bo l.
picion. Juries are free from the imputa-
ton of being bribed The freight of this
convict ship is new proof, if one was
wanting, that justice, in England, is inex-
orable as well as impartial Fraud itself
that vice of modern civilization, which
so many consider comparatively venial-
cannot escape.
The commonwealth of these United
States might take lesson from England
Political liberty is here in advance of what
it is in Great Britain, especially political
liberty in the Northern States but perso-
nal rights are hardly as secure, and crime
is assuredly less certain of punishment
We could, if necessary, quote numerous
instances where men, guilty of crimes sim
liar to those of Sir John Dean Paul, have
escaped punishment. The records of the
Courts, in this as well as in other States,
show how frequently justice winks at the
release of offenders who have wealth or
political influence. Vainly may We. boast
of our progress, vainly compare ourselves
triumphantly with other peoples, while
these things continue among us. In Re-
publics, even more than in monarchics, the
law must be vindicated for the law, in
free governments especially, is the founda-
tion of order and prosperity Laxity in
administering the law leads to Indifference;
indifference to anarchy; anarchy to ruin

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.

On Wednesday last, the 9th inst, Mr.
Christian Gingerich, near Freeburg, Sny-
der county, committed suicide by hanging
himself with a silk handkerchief, in his
barn. No reason can be assigned that
could prompt him to commit the rash act
On the same morning he was in Freeburg
for the purpose of purchasing wheat, and
returned home about 10 o'clock. After
remaining in the house for short time,
he took his hat and went out doors his
wife asked him where he was going, he
replied that he did not know himself. His
sons were working in field some short
distance from the house and Mrs. Ginger
ich thought that he had gone to see them
work. At noon his sons returned home
but their father was not along with them
inquiry was Immediately made concerning
him, but no one having seen or heard Of
him, they began to search for him and
about three o'clock in the afternoon they
found him suspended in the granary in his
barn DIR. Houtz of Freeburg took him
down, life however was extinct, and he
who was but short time previous in the
enjoyment of life and health, rushed un
called for into the presence of his Maker
He had already passed three score and foul
years, almost the full age allotted to man

MURDER WILL OUT

Week before last man named Gray was
hung by mob in Pontotoc county, Miss,
for having murdered Mr.. r. Abernathy,
while the latter was in his field pulling
fodder. Gray confessed his crime after
the rope was around his neck The cir
cumstance that led to the detection of Gray,
was the finding, at the place of the murder,
the wadding Of the gun. cAn hour previ-
Gus he had requested q locksmith, living
four miles off, who had repaired his gun,
to load it for him, stating that he himself
could not well do it, on account of bile
under his arm, and intending, as he said,
to kill deer The locksmith loaded the
gun, putting in twelve buckshot, and for
wadding used pieces of an old pamphlet,
lying in his shop, which pieces were found,
powder burnt, near the body of the mur-
dered man; and identified Other circum-
stances, confirmed afterwards by his con-
fession, fixed the guilt upon Gray

LESS KNOWN REASONS FOR
WE'LL KNOWN TRUTHS.


The longer the beam of plow, the less
power is required to draw the plow because
the beam is lever, through which the
power is cxertcd, and, by extending the
beam the long arm of the lever is length
encd, and the leverage is thereby increased
The same is true of many other implements
and tools-such as spades, pitchforks,
wheelbarows, planes, screw-drivers, augers,
gimlets, &c.
The greater the diameter Of the wheels
of carriage, the less power it requires to
overcome the inequalities of road both
because the leverage is increased by length
ening the spokes or radii of the wheels,
which are the long arms of the levers,
whereby the power is exerted, and beeause
the steepness or abruptness of the obstruc-
tions presented to the wheels is lessened by
the greater circumference of the wheels.
But there is a near limit to the size of the
wheels, beyond which no advantage is
gained by increasing. For when the axleS
of the wheels become higher than the
point of draught on the animal, portion
of the power exerted merely adds to the
weight, or pressure, of the carriage upon
the ground; and the portion thus lost in
creases with the increased height of the
axle above the horizontal line of draught
Besides, the increasing weight of enlarged
wheels soon more than counteracts the ad-
vantages gained by increasing the diameter.

of Oporto, recently seized by the Portu-
guese government, were made of molasses,
alcohol and some eoloring substance
Thousands of pipes of this mixture have
heretofore been sent to England, to the
Continent, and elsewhere. The wine lately
confiscated in Paris was made of water,
alum and elder berries.
