CONNUBIAL FELICITY.

Mr.. Slang used to Say "my horses, my
boys" Mr. Slang now invariably says
" our Lorses, our boys" or "our farm
This substitution of our for "my," by
Mr.. Slang, was brought about thus:
Mr.. Slang had just married second wife
On the day after the wedding, Mr.. Slang
casually remarked, Z" [ now intend to enlarge
my dairy"
"You mean our dairy, my DEAR" replied
Mrs. Sling.
"No'" qu'th Mr.. Slang, al say Ny
dairy"
"Say OUR dairy Mr.. Slang"
No, MY dairy"
"No, OUR dairy, say oUR% screamed
Mrs. Slang, seizing the poker.
" My dairy, MY dairy" vociferated the
husband.
Sour dairy, OUR dairy, re-echoed the
wife, emphasizing each our" with a blow
of the poker upon the back Of the cringins
spouse.
Mr. Slang retreatel under the bed clothes
Mr. Slang remained under several minutes
waiting for calm. At length his wife saw
him thrusting his head out of the foot Of
the bed much like turtle from his she'll
"What are you looking for, Mr.. Slang?
said she
"Pm looking. my DEAR" snivelea he, " tc
see anything of OUR bat"
The struggle was over. 1t was our horses
our dairy, and on the next Sunday morning
he very humbly asked her if he might weal
our clean linen breeches to church.

THE SEPOYS.

The Sepoys all declare that their cause is.
in their eyes, hopeless. The British haye
won the game, aud as their own doom is
death, they fight on simply to protract the
evil hour They have lost their military
stores their guns are gone, and wooden ar.
tillery is poor substitute for brass their
firearms are diminishing. The only caps m
Behar came from the Delhi arsenal, and are
selling at 2rs a hundred Men armed only
with sticks are told to look for no paw, apd
the instalments Of wages are doled out with
a Jealousy which speaks of decreasing treas

appear to dread excessively dispersion into
little groups. They say that in their own
villages they arc sure to be caught and hung,
while, at the same time, no idea of any
grand exploit seems to occur to them.
Their policy, such as it il, is to bold on to
the jungle, (Which nobody can cut" and
there do nothing, or, if attacked d:sperse
and re-unite. Ii these are not the tactics
against which Europeans are most successful.
neither Is this the mood which enables men
20 win in revolutions Even despair gives
to Sepoys no great resolve; it inspires them
only with the courage of others, who, when
the dogs have brought them to bay, die half
hidden in their holes. We need ouy force
and quiet, seady perseverance to bring this
portion OF the campaign to a close. The
people, passive as they are, must assist US in
the end. They are suffering horribly al
re ady Nine thousand of them have fed
the land forever, and the wives and children
are seeking an asylum in the depot Of the
emigrants to the Mauritius. Sxethousand
have sailed already, and the colony is will
ling to accept any number. The mass, how.
e'er, cannot move, and they will not tolerate
the insecurity and distress forever. A prom.
ise Of pardon to every village which brought
in iftp Sepoys, dead or alive, would even
now let loose the country on the marauders.
This Is the scene, we imagine, presented
over much Of India. Large bands are
roaming about hopeless, and without re,
source, dreading only dispersion as the Ger
tain precursor OF u disgraceful death. The
policy now is, if possible, to place between
them and the villagers an irreconcillbe hate.

challenged his two sous together to pitch on

wagon driven around, and the trial com

his own very creditably, calling out tauutlng

down after the wagon load, which had to be
pitched on again rather more deliberately.

LEAVES. No manure is so well worth
the saving in October and November, as the
falling leaves of the season, According to
Payen, they contain nearly three times as
much nitrogen as ordinary barn.yard ma
nure; and every gardener who has strewn
and converted them in his trenches late in
the fall or in December, must have noticed
the next season how black and moist the
soil is that adheres to the thrifty young
beets be pulls! No vegetable substance
yields it woody fibre and becomes soluble
quicker than leaves, and from this very
cause they are soon dried up, scattered to
the winds and wasted if not gathered and

ing:
y most extraordinary discovery, which,
for obvious reasons, is sought to be kept a
profound secret has taken place in en- old
ruined house at Iriel. An immense chest,
full of gold and silver coins of English
stamp, has been found concealed in one of
the cellars, where il had been carefully wall
ed up. From the papers and documents
contained likewise in the chest, il has be-
come evident that the house was once oc-
cupied by Bollingbroke, who must have
lain concealed here during the period where
in his whereabouts has always remained o
puzzle to biographies and historians. In one
of his letters, he mentions that "his retreat
IS convenient to the Seine" And the house
in question is found to possess subtcrranean

EB' About as cool notice of the result
Of the recent election in Kansas is the fol-
lowing, clippedfrom the Standard, published
at Hollidaysburgh. Pa. Ii is unnecessary to
say that the Standard is Lecompton
The returns from the late election in Kan
sas are yet meagre and imperfect out indi-
cate that the English Bill-or rather the
Lecompton constitution, had been rejected.
This being the case, according to the pro-
visions of the bill, Kansas will be compelled
TO remain out of the Union until they have
the requisite numbtr of inhabitants For ad-
mission. We doubt very much whether il
would not have been better to accept, and,
if the people wished it. changed their con-
stitution after becoming State-but that Is
a matter for themselves. If they wish TO
remain out of the Union-let them.

admission under her own free constitution,

performed the act of trampling Lecompton
under foot, and now she will demand that her
orn constitution shall be accepted. She has
been a long year and half trying to get

awfully when il calls ALBERT g. PORTER, n
second or third rate man. No man who has
secured the position that Mr.. PORTER now
occupies, in the same limited number of
years, is third rate aan. Mr.. Porter, if
he is elected, will give the Sixth District a

for years. His past success and present en-
ergy warrants US in predicting this much.
