Atrue eopy--atteni
Freeman's champion., 1858-08-12

"Indeed it is woeful, when the
young usurp the place or depose the
wisdom of the aged, and among the
many dark signs of these times, the
disobedience of the youth is among
the darkest. But with whom is the
fault? Youth never lost its modeSty
where age had not lost its honor !;
nor did childhood ever refuse its rev.
erence, except where age had forgotten
correction. The cry, Go up thou
bald head will never be heard in the
land which remembers the precept,
See that ye despise not one Of these
little ones and although youth may
become despicable, when its eager
hope is changed into presumption,
and its progressive power into assert
ed pride, there is something more
despicable still, in the old age which
has learned neither judgment nor gen.
tleness, which is weak without char
ity, and cold without discretion. -
Leavenworth Times.
Freeman's champion., 1858-08-12
Not to be Trusted.

Our bribery men at Washington
are up to all manner of tricks to
evads the laws and yet buy the votes
they want but in the old country
they have had longer experience, and
know the ropes better than we. A
correspondent says;
cat warmly contested election
in one of the rotton borroughs in Ire
land, all sorts Of tricks were resorted
to for the sake Of buying votes in eva
sion of the law. One of the candi-
dates, Mr., Anson, went into o bar
ber's shop, and having submitted to
the idle ceremony Of being shaved,
paid the barber, who was o voter, FIVE
guineas for the operation. When
the polls were opened, the knight oil
the razor came forward and voted
openly for Mr., Benson, the opposing
candidate.
"Anson, aStounded, cried out to
him What do you mean? Didn't
you shave me yesterday 2 n
Yes, indade, Sir, replied the
sharp set barber !; but ! shaved Mr.,
Benson this morning 7"
There are plenty Of men up to just
that trick all around. A rascal in
Congress or the Legislature, who will
take bribe, is not to be trusted even
by the rascal who offers it. They
will cheat one another if they get
chance.
Freeman's champion., 1858-08-12
Southern Invulnerabilitie

A southern paper writes as follows
concerning some Of the southern
members Of Congress
"In the person of Hon. Jefferson
Davis, Of Mississippi, the South has
a tower of strength, and foeman
worthy of the steel Of any knight.
He is the great vindicator, the un'
compromising defender and fearless
advocate of southern institutions.
He is the Polar star of the cotton fir
mamont, and upon his shoulders rest
the fulcrum of strict construction
construed.
"Hon. James Green, or Missouri,
comparatively young man, and a
young Senator, has suddenly burst
upon the public mind like q comet
Of the first magnitude sweeping in
its celestial circuit cohesive bodies,
grinding to powder, moon-like satel-
lites, and engulphing Little Giants

Hope.

"Hope is the balm Of life." It
sustains in the dark hour Of adversely
it gives new life to the oppressed,
and encourages all to press onward
in the pursuit of some desired object.
Although the sky Of the present may
be overcast, yet none should ever de-
SPAR. Hope on, the future may yet
be bright and cloudless. ! have seen
the scholar toiling day after day with
untiring energy-the present is dark
and foreboding, but occasional CLEANS
of sunshine fit across his pathway
his hopes are strengthened, and, far
in the future, fancy pictures Fame en-
twining her laurels for his brow. Is
there an arduous task to perform |?
Though we may fail at first, hope on,
persevere, and we shall succeed at
last. Where would have bcen the
liberty we now possess, had our fore
fathers despaired at the failure Of
their first efforts in the noble enter
prise OF freedom But they hoped
on, and success crowned their ardu-
GUS undertaking. The names of the
brave Of those days are now carved
upon memories immortal tablets. IL
in our journey through life, we meet
with trials and difficulties, let us hope
on and never despair. We may bc
successful, aud our names too, may
be as immortal as those Of the heroes
Of the Revolution. 1--WE live by
hope and by desires we see by the
glad light, and breathe the sweet air
Of futurity." t t'Ho.

To Endorsers.

The following, which we take from
the Hartford Coarant, contains a vol
ume of truth relative to endorsing ::
"a cheerful old aged gentleman be-
tween go and 70 years of age, was in
our office the other day, and in course
of conversation we asked him the
principal lesson he had learned in his
protracted life. Said he, the essence
of what | have learned teaches me to
laugh when | can, and cry when |
must. | have also learned to beware
Of endorsing. The man who invent
ed endorsing has ruined tens of thous-
andS Of business men. My principal
losses were caused by endeavoring to
help others. If an embarrassed man
come to you for aid, the true course
is to tell him to fail first, if fail
he must, and you will help him
after his failure and not before. If
you attempt to help man he will
hate you. Men always hate those to
whom they are under obligation if
you expect gratitude you deserve in
gratitude, according to the practical
working Of things This was the
experience Of an old man, who said
also that 'one of the principal things
that have learned is that things new
er turn out SO bad as we feal, nor so
good as we expect. | have learned
to take very coolly whatever comes
along The world keeps along about
the same, no matter what happens"
