ANOTHER LETTER FROM GEN. FoLEY,-
The indianapolis Journal gives another let
fer of Foley's written no longer ago than last
spring, to the editor of the Rising Sun Visitor:
GREENsBURG, April 1S, ST.
Dear sir You will please find two dollars
enclosed for the payment of the Visitor you
have been so kind to send me your paper for
the last nine months-and we are told from
the best authority tha. the iaboer is worth hi
raer-l must yours is a good county paper so
fair as General newes is conseIncd-as to the
political Part of the paper-according to my
opinion will fall short to some extent the CRATE
principales taught by our four fathers but you
are yet young and I hope you will improve
yours truly JAMES B. Foley.
James B. Foley is member of Congress
from Irdiana. 1t is unnecessary to say that
he is Lecompton man.
A FRIEND OF FoLEy.-Obaiiah Pringle, a
good democrat, and personal friend of Mr..
Buchanan, writes as follows TO the Tndianap-
oils Journal:-
That fool. "Fo'ey," if he ever wants 10 rite
another letter, to make me his distributing Of
fee. and I'll traRscribe his letter, and correck
the spelin, and nut the matter into form for
him. Sich ritin and speln is material shame!

did when | seed that letter. It's not only a
disgrace TO that ''puRlin head" himself, but
TO the whole democratic party.

Am Eloquent Extract.

Generation after generation, says fine
writer, have felt as we feel now, and their
lives were as active as our own. They passed
away like the vapor, while nature wore the
same aspect of beauth as when her Creator
commanded her to be. The heavens shall be
as bright over our graves as they are. now
around our paths. The world will have the
same attractions for our offspring yet unborn,
that she had once for ourselves, and that she
now has for our children. Yet, little while
and all this will have happened. The throh-
bing heart will be stilled, and we shall be at
rest. Our funeral will wind IFS way and the
prayers win be said, and our friends will all
return, and we shall be left behind in silence
and darkness for the worm. And it may be
for short time we shall be spoken Of, but
the things Of life viii creep in, and our names
will soon be forgotten. Days will continue to
move on, and laughter and song will be heard
in the room in which we died ; and the eye
that mourned for us will be dried, and glisted
again with joy; and even our children will
cease 10 think of us, and will not remember to
lisp our names. Then shall we have become,
in the tonching LANGUAGE OF the Psalnist,
s.forgotton and clean gone ont of mindn

young man was stopped in a little street
in ore of the cities os France-his purse or
his life was demanded. A courageous and
sensible heart soon distinguished between the
voice of the unfortunate wretch whom misery
drags to crime and that of the villain whose
wickeiness prompts him to it. The young
man felt that it was an unfortunate person whom
he ought to save. "What do yon ask, miser-
able creature; what do you ask ?' said he in an
imposing tone to his aggressor.

The shoemaker obeys, as much agitated as
if he were about to commit some crime, but
very different kind of trouble. They entered.
The wife and children eagerly take the food
which is offered them. The young man has
seen too much. He goes out, after giving two
louis to the bakers wife with orders to supply
the family with bread according to their wants.

a TEXT FOR You've MEN.-A better sub
ject for young men to discourse about, and to
mediate upon, was never written than the fol-
lowing, by Swift :-'sNo man ever made an i'll
figure who understood his own talents, nor
good one who mistook them.n Young men do
not fail in the pursuit of life because they lack
ability to succeed, half as often as from a
mislirecton of talent. A right use of a
moderate capacity will accomplish more
than wroag application OF the most
brilliant qualification. Study, therefore, your
selves. Aim to find ont the actual talents you
possess, and then endeaver to make the best
possible use of them, and you can hardly come
short of making good figure in the world,
and what is more, being one among those who
lived not in vain.
