OUT OF HUMOR.

Our usually compliment and pacific neighbor
of the Clearfeld Republican has ssgot his mad
up and in his last issue pitches into us in
truly terrific style. He seems to be as irascible
as pet child that has lost some cherished toy
''As peeyish, cross and splenetic
as dog distract. monkey sick -
and, in the pitiful objurgations he INDUCES in,
makes allegations against US which are far from
squaring with the truth. His article contains
so many Interpretations Of such palpa-
bic character, that we do not think it worth
while to allude 10 them in detail. We give
the following, however, as sample =
ssScarcely number of the Journal has been
Issued for the last two months that does not
contain abuse and malignant slSader up
on The privdte character of some distinguished
| democrat; of this. however, Senator Bigler

Je-e-whil-li-kins -. That would be really
''Orful'-if it happened to be true. But as
the charge is false, it doesn't amount TO much.
| The editor of the Republican cannot point out
single instance in which We have uttered a
''mdfgnGnt siGader upon the prirate character

democrat" who has monopolized the entire ad-
miration OF our neighbor of the Republican,
and TO say aught against whom may be con-
| sidered an objectionable offence-a species of

made in that paper on Michael A. Frank, Esq,
on the eve of the election, so late that there
| was no opportunity of replying, shows how
much truth that declaration contains. Still
we can make great allowance for the pIaintiye
fanfaronade of our neighbor just now, wher
he is laboring under the depressing and dis
| tracing effects of unexpected and most
| signal defeat.

IHE TARIFF AND THE DENocRAcY-Tbe

A new law, it seems, has been established in
York county. In one district, the names OF
couple candidates were scratched off the
tickets. The election officers decided that
pencil marks were not lawful. and accordingly
counted the tickets. This is one way of com
pelling men to vote for a candidate whether
they will or not. A little escratchine'' a.
round of the brains of the officers might give
them proper ideas of their duty.

South Carolina, breathing the warmest devo-

the Press that this fact shows that Buchanan
has succeeded in accomplishing what Old
Hickory never could do-adopting a policy

that State! This is one of the few things in
which Buchanan has sarpassed Jackson!

Extracts FROM A Discourse On Flowers.

He who only does not appreciate floral
beauty is to be pitied like any other man
who is born imperfect. 1t is misfortune
not unlike blindness. But men who con-
temptuousl p reject flowers as ettcminate and
unworthy of manhood, reveal a cerain coars
ness. Were flowers fit to eat or drink,
were they stimuatiye Of passions, or could
they be gambled with stocks and public,
cousciences, they would take them up JUS,
where finer minds would drop them, who
love them as revelations of Coils sense of
beauty, as addressed to the taste, and to
something finer and deeper than taste
TO that power within us which spiritualizes
matter, and communes with God through
His work, and not for their paltry mar
ket yalne X * x r y y X x
As flower is tie finest stroke of crea-
lion, so The rose is the happiest hit among
flowers. x x * i y
We love to fancy that flower is the
point of transition at which a material
thing touches the imnaterial; it is the sem
timent vegetable soul. We aScribe dispo-
sitions to it.; we treat it as we would an
innocent child. A stem or root has no
suggestion of life. A afadyances toward
it; and some leaves are as fine as flowers,
and have, moreover a grace of motion
had BY flowers. Flowers have an expires.
sion of countenance as much as men or
animals. Some seem to smile ;some have
sad expression; some are pensive and diff
fident; others again are plain, honest, and
upright, like the broad faced sunfower and
the hollyho,k. We find ourselves speak
ing Of them as laughing, as gay and co
quettish, as nodding and dancing. No
man of sensibility ever spoke Of a flower as
he would ola fungus, pebble, or sponge.
Indeed, they are more life like than many
animals. We commune with flowers-we
go 10 them if we are sad or GLAD; but a
toad, a worm, an insect, we repeI. as if real
life was moi half so as imaginary life.-
What pity flowers Can utter no sound
A singing rose, a whispering violet, muir
muring honeysuckle o, what rare and
exquisite miracle would these he.

Hon. Thomas +. Marshall.


This great son Of Kentucky, better
known as Tom. Marshall, has once more
come out as a temperance man and
lecturer. He recently delivered an adj
dress on Total Abstinence in Cincinnati
which was listened to by very large au-
dience. It consisted of a tribute to tue
worth of DR.. Sewell; of an eloquent de-
fence ofTemperance Society organization
Of an earnest appeal to the temperate to
unite with such societies, and glowing
description ofthe benefits arising from To
tai Abstinence The address was full OF
pathos, beauty and eloqnence, and was
much applauded. 1t closed with an exul-
tant promise TO abide by the pledge taken
till the day of death. The speaker laid
very deep feeling. said:
every word of that was written IN the
deepest sincerity. 1t was felt most hearth
". was confident in myself. When
look back upon that speech see in it a
boasting, Wanting tone that makes me
feel ashamed In that speech | defed a
demon defied the devil-and the devil
attacked me and l fell. | fell like Luci-
fer, through pride. l needed the lesson to
teach me not to rely wholly on myself
But have come to myself In the beau

we call the Bible, like the prodigal son, |

humble mood, and modestly seek support
outside myself. lean on a stronger arm
than mine. II was to strengthen myself
in this last effort that delivered this ad
dress tonight. for feel that if l fall now
| shall fall never to rise"
When Mr.. Marshall concluded, the au-
dience expressed their qualification ard
sympathy most warmly, and number Of
them remained to grasp his hand cordially
and speak the good wishes which all who
heard him felt.

THE TRoUT. in some remat ks made

Robert H, Pell, Esq, we find the following
interesting information concerning this
highly esteemed fish:
"The trout is the only fish that comes in

ing his full growth. The female spawns
in October-at different time from all

covered with species If Glove shaped in

from them; and they continue sick until
the warm weather, VIXEN they rub the in
scots off on the gravel, and Immediately
grow strong. The female is the best for
the table. She may be known by her
small head and deep body. Fish are al
ways in season when their heads are so
small as to be disproportioned to the size
of their body. The trout is less oily and
rich than the salmon; the female is much
more bright and more beautiful than the
male; they swim rapidly, and often leap

A MANS WIFE SOLD TO PAY HIS DEBTS.

In 1s43, Stephen Kyler, of Kentucky,
born slave, was emancipated by his mas
ter. He was the husband of slave nam
ed Cynthia, belonging to Mr. Taylor
Joseph Kyler, the former master Of Steph-
en-. DESTROYS of securing Cynthia to him as
a wife, purchased her of Taylor, but could
not. under the Kentucky constitute n,
ernancipate her without an emigation from
the State. He therefore conveyed her to
Stephen in 1853, without any valuable
consideration. The conveyance was abso-
lutte on its face, but the object and under
standing of all the parties was not to IN
vest Stephen with title to Cynthia as
property, but to give ner as his wife. In
1857, one Dunlap acquired two Judge
ments against Stephen and attached Gym
thia as the property of Stephen, and pro-
ceeded to sell her as slave. To prevent
this, action was brought in the circuit court
of Girard county, by STEPHEN and Gym
lhia, gainst Dunlap and the officer, by
which they sought to HAYS her declared
the wife and not the property Of Stephen,
and consequently not liable to be as slave
TO pay bis debts.
The circuit court, after fall hearing Of
the case, decided that Cynthia was pror-
erty-a slaye-and denied the prayer of
their petition. The case was then carried
to the court Of appeals where the Judge
ment of the circuit court was affirmed, and
an order was made for the sale of the wife.
| Had she hean his COW or his horse she
would not have been sold, as these are ex-
elnpt from attachment By the laws of Ken
lucky. But as she was only his wife, all
she courts of the State agreed that she was
only chattel and must be sold. And
this was a righteous verdict, agreeing in
principle with the decision Of the Supreme
Court, that negroes have no rights which
white men are bound to respect Wor-
cester Spy.
