A GOOD. Anocdote.

One Of the papers rcyives story that
is better now than it was before these d ays
Of spirit seeking and hearing.
1t seems hat IN old Sea Captain, who
had retired from service and was living on
q farm, had n wild, harum -scarum nephew
living with him. lie could neither drive
or frisLtcu said nephew L do anything in
proper time. Nor uId he get him to
drive the COWS up to milk before dark-he
had to drive them up from back pasture
through the sugar brush. Finally, the
Captain asked the lad if he was not afr,id
tn 90 through the woods in the dark.
Fraid What is that! never seen
a Jraid,'" replied the boy.
"Well, never mind, my lad you will
see one some of those nights, if you do not
get the cows up before dark said the
Cap ain, mcanipgly.
That night tho boy played unil dusk,
before he went for the cows, as usual. The
Captain took sheet and followed him
Now the Captain had tame monkey who
saw the performance, and monkey like,
took table cloth and followed the Captain
at respectful distance. The Captain
went into the middle Of the woods, where
there was bi. log by the side Of Tie path
/ Going to The further end Of it, lie wound
the sheet around him, got upon it and stood
sill. The monkey got on the ilrst end
without noise and did the same. So the
parties stood when the boy came whistling
along with his COWS. They shyed little
upon seeing the ghosts, which caused the
boy to look ahead
"Hcllo! what is that! :" be shouted
"by golly, guess its a Jj'GiAj'' and thcr
spying tho monkey he sung out, |" B.
Jerus salem, if there aint two frajIs-a biz
frad and little fraid !" This caused
the Captain to look around, when he
saw, for the first time, his ghostly com
panion. He thought he was AFRAID
sure enough The old Captain strcaked i
for home, the monkey chasing him, anc
the wicked nephew clapping his hands ant
shouting, Run big frsid, run, or littl
iroid will catch you"

gates to form Constitution preparatory
to admission as a State, and, if desired BY
them, they should also be allowed an un-
qualified right to vote upon such Constitu-
ton after it is framed. OF course those
who then fail TO vote, in either case, cannot
complain that the pr ceedings goes on
without their participation. 1t is 10 be
hoped, that Congress will make such pro-
vision for other Territories that the present
difficulty will have no repetition in the fu-
tur6 ,
In conclusion, permit me 10 observe,that
all experience and reflection prove that
tie moral virtues form the only firm foun-
dation Of public order as well as individu-
al character, and their support should
therefore engage the profound attention Of
Government, and the cooperation of all
good men. Fail indeed will &c any
structure reared for the regulation Of so q.
cicty, and the promotion of mans truo
and substantial happiness, unless it stand
up n foundation more permanent than
paper arrangements, or tho fleoting i'm
pulses Of the hour The recognition of a
Great Supreme Power, which rules the
affairs Of nations and of men, is the only
support Of those virtues which can make u
people distinguished and prosperous, and
give to Government duration and success.
Sincerely imploring the Divine guidance
in the performance of duty, l assume the
post assigned me by by the people indul-
ging the hope that at the termination Of
my service l shall enjoy the approval of
my own conscience, and behold Pennsyl.

Bay The following auecdotc, which a
friend related to us as an actual occurrence,
smscks somewhat of the stories CT the chill
dIen related by the KnicEerbocker,
A stripping some eight years of age, was
engaged in the manufacture of stool,
which, on account of disparity in tho
length of the legs, refused to stand up
After fruitless efforts to make it do so, the
boy inquired;
"Molher, does the Lord sec cverythingl"
"Yes, my son."
"Well,' replied the young hopeful, I" l
guess he'll laugh when he sees this stool"

SINGULAR Immense SHd'n's Of

2. l85S-I cserday, at four O'clock J.. NJ, the
atmosphere became suddenly filed with myr!acs
of insects of type entirely unknown in this region
as far as [ can learn. The phenomenon IS known
to have extended several miles, and appears 10
have occurred at the SAME moment. he insect
is about one-fourth of inch long, and closely
resembles the common ant. But the strah3tS'
part OF the matter,--that is, to me,-rcmans to be
told As soon as they appeared, they began to
aht upon whatever object they came IN contact
with and to give birth to young Insects ready
winged, which in few seconds assembled INTO the
air. while the old ones threw then selves INTO
