FOR THE JEFFERSONIAN.

There is a mighty engine now
That runs each day and hour,
Though very small it sways the mind,
Exerting mighty power.
1t is a lever, by its force
The world is moved with ease,
Ii strives the wants of al to meet
And all mankind TO please.
1t does exert a moral power
Upon our race Of men,
Which floweIh from a little thing
Il mean the humble penn
We have through it alone attained
Present civilization
Making this happy land Of ours
A great and mighty nation.
Kind reader, can you give lis name!
a yankee sure might guess
And tell perhaps before these lines
Are handed to Tie Press. R.W. II

Cranberries.

There are extensive cranberry fields in
Wisconsin, which yields the berries for
the picking. JuReau county is famous
for its cranberry crop. and the quantity
sold the present season at the town of New
Lisbon alone, is $4,000 bushels, at the
average price ofsI IS per busbel. The
trade has brought some S55, 900 to the
town, and not less than 5000 persons
have been engaged in harvesting and pre-
pairing the berries for market. The Ju-
neau Argus says the cranberry crop
has been fer greater benefit than the
most abundant wheat harvest would have
been.

Debut as a Clown.

The newspapers chronicle the fact, that
the son of highly respectable gentle
man in Kentucky has taken to the ring as
clown. The piebald adornments of the
horse harlequin have more attractions for
him than the guise of reipeciability. The
applause Of the witless crowd who are
convulsed with thread.bare and misera-
bic jokes, is of more value than the good
opinions of friends. And the rough nn-
re efned, and low life associations by which
be is surrounded, are more to his taste
than the company of the polished and
educated. The odor Of stale tan, and the
flicker of tallow dips, are pleasanter in
his nostrils than the atmosphere of the
drawing. room. Bar room mirth, and
coarse, dirty fun, are henceforth his en-
joyments. Such are the bright features
of his future. The shadows of his distin-
guished course will be professional jeal
ousy" and hearty hatreds, dissolute at
tachments and rum riots. infuriated spec
tators and mob onslaughts, broken heads
and broken fortunes, broken health, and
general bankruptcy, mental, bodily and
pecuniary The papers say bis family
are "inexpressibly mortified" We might
have guessed that without the help of be
journals. Such reward for the care and
anxieties of early training may well make
parents mortiied-eyen to the death.
But there are other clowns besides
these in the ring. Thousands ofungrate-
full sons make their debut in rowdy yism,
without receiving the distinguishing hon

ccc::anaaied by % white meu, when on his
way from Texas Co. Co. California, was attacked

Extravagance

The New York Herald, in speaking
of the charges of extravaganza against
the democratic administration, says:
The SUI applicable to the expenses
of the current year is fifty eight and a
half million of dollars little over
one-half of the sum at which the un-
scrupulous enemies of the administration
have set it down. No one who has wit
messed or ~attentively watched the pro
ceediDgs of last session can deny that
it was the constant effort, on the part
of the Executive and the democratic
party, to cut down the expenditures to
the lowest possible figure and the equal
ly constant effort on the part of the op
position to load down the appropriation
bill as heavy as possible. With this
undeniable fact before the people, and
with the exhibit of Enssy-cignv millions
as the TOTAL amount applicable to the
expenditures of the current fiscal year,
is it not the height of impudence and
folly to be charging the administration
with extravaganza? 1t only shows to
what base aud desperate means unscru-
pulous politicians. will resort.

A SMART CoNGREssMAN.-The Port
land papers say that one of the Maine
Representatives,, Mr.. Wood, employed
the former editor Of the AGUertiSer to
write his acceptance of his nomination
to Congress-price $40, and his speech
to deliver on the occasion of his r~e-elecs
ton to Copgress-price $40 neither of
which sums being paid are DOW part Of
the subject matter of a suit between the
parties.-LOa0eH Courier.
If the truth of the matter could be
known, there are members Of Congress
from Massachusetts, who would appear
no better than the Main,man-members
who not only have their speeches written
for them, but who publish speeches as
delivered in the House, which were eli
ther= not delivered at all, or read at
evening sessions when few persons were
there to hear them. If it was not for
the newspaper men about Washington
the reporters and speech-writers-
very many of the members would never
be heard from more than though they
had been swallowed by the same whale
that took in Jonah. Probably there
never was a time when New England,
taken as a whole, had weaker represen-
~tatives than at Neac6uryport
Herald. afr-r rr--.
Il The above tales-"ower true
we doubt not-are told of States that
are the seat of the Republican power in
the country. 1t is Republican testimony
of the degeneracy among the public men
of New England, since Republicanism
supplanted the old whig party. The
latter party, whatever its errors and
heresies, was the nursery of giants. The
Republican party, on the contrary, de
light to honor dwarfs. The few in pub
lie life from that quarter of the Unior
who have any p%retentions to intellect, are
like JOHN P. HALE, of New Hampshire
among the mast corrupt men who evel
d~ishonored official position.
