alone" in the hall. Lucy Ann had re-
tired, and her bridesmaids were off in
distant room. Bill Jinkins' walters
and friends had gone home with the
ladies. Bill was now at the point
where he thought his firmness would
fail him. His situation was peculiar
one. He was not certain which was
Lucy AIMS, room, although he had
been told-and even had he known he
could not go to it.
The watchman cried "past two
O'clock" and yet Jinkins was still alone,
and apparently engaged in perusing an
old almanac, which, by chance, had
been left i'm his coat pocket.
An old female darkey who resides in
the family, had been prevailed upon by
the ladies who noticed Jinkins' bash
fulness, to show him his bedroom, and
for that purpose she introduced herself
in as modest style as she could.
"Mr Jinkins," said she, " it's past
two O'clock"
ooh, yes-I know tim going
home In few minutes. Old woman,
where is my.hat?" :.
"It's in Miss Lucy's room, sir; you
can get it there if you'll 60 in. Mr..
Jinkins, why don't You go to bed
Miss Lucy is there waiting for you
don't be so NOTES.-The ladies will
laugh at you. Come with me and I'll
show you the room, for want to put
out the light, lock up the house and 60
to bed"
The old woman seized hold of jim
kins and pulled him along until she got
out of the hail., and his gaze was fixed
for a moment upon the entry door
but she was determined to put him into
Miss Lucy's room, and after violent
efforts succeeded. There he stood with
the knob of the door in his hand-but
that sort of CANNON would not answer
so at length she said:
"My dear Billy, what is the matter?"
81 want my hat!" screamed Jinkins,
and Lucy knowing his modesty, leaped
out of bed, and after caressing him for
SINE time, Billy went to bed, with his
clothes and boots all on-and trembled
till morning!
How Jinkins subsequently managed
matters and things in general" can
be known by application to his dear
Lucy Ann.
Reader, strange as it may appear,
there are Jinkins' all over the world :
but the Free-masonry of welded life
draws the curtain before the eyes of
the uninitiated.

Nor QUITE BANKRUPT.-Without
doubt, some very honest people have
been made to believe, by the insane
howlings of the opposition press, that
our State was financially bankrupt, and
that the installment of the Democratic
Five Million Loan which fell due OH the
lst day of July last, would not be paid,
and our credit forever ruined. We
have not the least doubt that such a
contamination was most devoutly
wished and prayed for, by these patri-
otto Democratic editors, but unfortun-
ately the fates has otherwise ordered.
Our efficient State Treasurer. MIR.
Holmes met the creditors of the State
on the day the bonds fell due, and has
discharged since the lst inst, the whole
installment of debt; two hundred and
sixteen thousand dollars besides pay
ing the interest upon all the still out
standing balance of that precious
/" Democratic legacy " of indebtedness.
By private advises from Lansing we
learn that there is still sufficient funds
on hand to meet all accruing demands,
Including postage stamps y and that
the prospect now is that there will be a
much larger surplus on hand at the end
of the present fiscal year, than was re-
ported at the close of last year. Loco
focoism will have to invent some new
hobby-the only Bankrupt Treasu-
ry" we know of is the Sub-Treasury
box of the National Democratic Admin
istration at w ashington.-Jackson Cit

The Washington EUeni,1g Star, an
Administration paper, asserts that the
late meeting in the State of Delaware
to inaugurate new party was designed
to help Senator Crittenden's presiden-
tial aspirations, that the canvass in his
favor has already opened with vigor !;
that largo number of leading opposi-
ton politicians in Congress, and out of
it, are actively engaged in the move
ment, among them being most of the
republican party managers of the New
England States, their object being to
defeat Senator Seward for the nominal
ton. On the strength of this SUPPOSE
tious movement the Star proceeds to
decry Crittenden and to laud Seward.
Perhaps no man in the opposition ranks
has been more Systematically or hate
fully pursued and maligned by demo-
cratic newspapers than Seward, yet,
whenever an opportunity offers, he is
just the man whom they endeavor to
exalt as the greatest statesman in the
opposition ranks. The coincidence is
singular to say the least of it.

In the Patent Office at Washington
there are many objects of interest con-
nected with the Government, and those
who administered its affairs in times
gone by. While examining some of
these objects of curiosity when in
Washington in December last, there
was nothing that struck us so forcibly
as the samples of small locks of hair
taken from the heads of the different
Chief Magistrates, from President
Washington down to President Pierce,
secured in a frame, covered with glass.
Here is, in fact, part and parcel of
what constituted the living bodies of
those illustrious individuals, whose
rames are as familiar as household
words, but who now live only in history
and the remenbrances of the past.
The hair of Washington is nearly a
pure white, fine and smooth in its ap-
pearance.
That of John Adams is nearly the
same in color, though perhaps little
coarser.
The hair of Jefferson is of different
character, being mixture of white and
auburn, or sandy brown, and rather
coarse. In his youth, Mr.. Jefferson's
hair was remarkable for its bright color.
The hair of Madison is coarse, and
of a mixed white and dark.
The hair of Monroe is a handsome
dark auburn, smooth and free from any
admixture whatever. He is the only
President, except Pierce, whose hair
has undergone no change in color.
The hair of John Quincy Adams is
peculiar, being coarse and yellowish
grey in color.
The hair of Gen. Jackson is almost
a perfect white, but coarse In it's char
acter, as might be supposed by those
who have examined portraits of the old
hero.
The hair of Van Buren, is white and
smooth in appearance.
The hair of Gen. Harrison is fine
white, with slight admixture of black.
The hair of John Tyler is a mixture
of white and brown.
The hair of James X. Polk is almost
a pure white.
The hair of Gen. Taylor is white,
with slight admixture of brcw
The hair of Willard Fillmore is on
the other hand, brown, with slight
admixture of white.
The hair of Franklin Pierce is dark
brown, of which he has plentiful
crop Washington Journal

At frst in gracefulfoliage drest,
The tangling branches shall entwine.
Then from the purple grapes be pressed
The luscious stream of rudy wine.
All things are glad that they were born,
And happy that they live;
Sweet praises each awakening morn
To God on high they seem to give.
Throughout the happy day,
They strive to wake, in every way,
The echoes Of the joyful lay,
Life is blessing.
May not We the task perform, ~
Spite of darkness spite of storm,
Which the Lord Of Life has given
That our path may lead to heaven?
Thus it is, and thus alone, tte
That the joyful truth is shown,
Life is blessing.
Join we the chorus then, 5sss
Life is blessing.
Life in forest, field and fen
On the deep, and in the glen
In the happy homes of men,
Life is blessing.
Young and old, and weak and strong,
Into life are closely pressing,
Singing as they pass along,
Life is blessing
Birds that throng upon the lea,
Full of love and sweet caressing,
Catch the glorious symphony
Life is blessing.
Trees that rise above the lawn,
Nature tastefully is dressing,
Softly sing from dawn to dawn
Life is blessing.
Creatures of the watery main
Joy and gladness are confessing,
Adding to the sweet refrain
Life is blessing.
Playing sweetly in the bushes,
SPECIFICS melody expressing,
Sings the breeze and never bushes
Life is a blessing.
Catch the strain and pass the song,
On the hearts of men impressing,
Be it short or be it long
Life is blessing.
Life is a blessing, then,
Life is blessing;
Life in forest, field and fen,
On the deep and in the glen,
In the happy homes of men
Life is ablessing.
More than this; in heaven above,
Where the rule of life is love,
Where the angels have their home,
Whittier death can never come,
Life is a blessing.
Ere the darkseme curtain fall,
Which is trembling over all,
Shutting from our mental sight
All that shines in earthly light,
May we prove the saying right
Life is a blessing.
