Beautifully Said.

We make the following beautiful extract
on Homestead Exemption law from let
ter written by a distinguished Judge of Ten
nessee:
Secure to each family, whose labor may
acquire it, little spot of free earth that it
may call its own-that viii be an asylum in
times of adversely, from which the mother
and the children, old age and infancy, can
still draw sustenance, and obtain protection,
though misfortune may rob them of all else,
and hey feel they are still free, still entitled
to walk the green earth, and breathe the free
air of heaven, in defiance of the potency
and power of accumulated wealth and the
domineering of the pretending and ambitious.
The sacredness of that consecrated spot will
make them warriors In time of external strife.
These shocks of eorn,' said Xenophon, Sin
spire those who raise them to defend them
The largest of them in the field is a prize
exhibited in the middle of the stage to crown
the conqueror.' Secure a home to every
family, whose labor may obtain one, against
the weakness, vices, or misfortunes of the
father, and you will rivet the affection Of
the child in years of manhood by stronger
bond than any consideration that could ex-
ist. He will remember where he gamboled
in his early youth, the stream upon whose
fiowry banks he felt mothers kiss and &
mothers love, and the green spot within thai
little homestead where sleep the loved and
the lost"

A Freakish River.

The Missouri is a very unreliable river,
and sometimes plays sad tricks upon those
who settle upon its banks. When they
think they have it, it is not there! Owing
TO the softness of the alluvial deposit through
which it flows, it is continually shifting its
bed. Towns which had seated themselves
by its shores, trusting to its waters for the
means of trade and travel, suddenly find il
whisked miles away, and themselves sloughed
in quagmire. Such is the fate which has
befallen the town of Weston, Mo. Says g
correspondent of the Boston Journal:
weston, on the Missouri side, ten miles
above Leavenworth, affords striking exam
pie of the necessity of building towns in
this region upon rock foundations, where
the river can neither encroach upon the
town, nor abandon it. Weston has fine
trade, and many excellent buildings; but
during the last four years the river has left
it, and now runs more than quarter of a
mile from its former bed, leaving fifty OF
sixty acres of made land $50 unsubstantial
as to be entirely useless) directly In front oi
the town. The warehouses on the old levee
are now so far from the river as to be value.
less for the purposes for which they were
built. Boats land only below or above the
town; and the late freak of the river has
stagnated all Improvements"

A DEMOCRAT IN PRIsoN.-On Saturday
last, says the Philadelphia Bulletin, Judge
Conrad sentenced man named Rump, to
prison for two years and eight months, for
the preparation of (voting Illegally several
times over) by which James Buchanan was
elected to the Presidency, last fall. Mr..
Buchanan now occupies the White House
at Washington, and Rump is domiciled in a
cell at Moyamensing! We advise the un-
fortunate ''Rump" to trust in the principles
of Democracy and be patient. If there is
