--Ssa1psS----
FoREEY's SPErcH-We seldom venture to de-
vote as much space, as we do this morning, to
the publication of ono document. We aim most
generally to give variety, rather than any great
amountoF one thing. But we are sure that if our
readers will but cast their eyes, even hastily,
over the speech of Col. Forney, delivered at the
great Anti.Lecompton celebration at Tamytown,
New York, the other day, that they will feel as
we do, viz: that nothing more interesting or in.
structive, in political way, could have been
served up to them, than this speech. Let there
fore, every reader carefully weigh and consider
the rather startling developments therein brought
tolight Never were the meanness, and hypOc-
risy and duplcity by which this wIetched Lee
compton swindle has been characterized, so fully
and so Enthusiastically exposed, as it has been at
the hand of Forney. Forney has had opportu-
mites above any of his contemporaries to know
the inside workingof this whole matter, and he
comes out with regular fat-footed expose of
the whole affair. Again, We say, let every body
read this document
a REToRr Rev. j. Knox, a Michigan clergy
man, aflrms that Universalis,n lis an error, to
every candid mind plainly contradictory of the
Word of God, and cxpcrimcntally proven to be
disastrous to good morals, and ruinous to the
souls of men,"
To which the Chicago Covenant replies:
"Universalism 'experimentally proven to be
disastrous to good morals'-is it? Do our priS.
ons prove it? Look at the recent report of the
Toronto Prison in Canada, where we find seven
hundred and sixty-five EpScopalians one hun
dred and forty-two Presbnterians, sixty-four
Methodists, and not single UniVerSalist OF
Unitarian found in that prison; and yet Mr..
Knox gravely affirms that UniversaliSm has
been 'experimentaly proven to BIO disastrous
to good morals, and ruinous to the souls Of
men,"
Perhaps the scarcity of the article, as COM
pared with those others, may account for its
representation in the aforesaid prison. 1t
is the first time ever heard of religion of any
sort sending men TO State Prisons

A Brave MAS.-That was brave man in
Cincinnati, who rescued from fire mother and
her two children, the other night. His name
was George Carr, aud when he came to the
burning building he saw the poor woman i'm.
Ploring for help at the fourthstory window. A
ladder was procured and thrown up to the sill
ipd man and into the burning room he jumped
The poor woman was dragged out and carried
down the ladder then one child and finally tho
other borne safely to the ground by this noble
fellow. He heard the crowd shout over his no.
BILE conduct, and then fell exhausted to the pave
ment. His reason left him with his strength,
and he now lies in a very critical condition. If
he dies it will he the death of hero.

A BAD SElL-A very smart trick has been
discovered by the Boston Yankees, and this
time they are sold. A firm in that city bought
ofan Egyptian housein Alexandria, some months
since, forty thousand pounds of linen rags, said
to be taken from Egyptian mummics. They
turned out to be gritty when used by paper
makers, and the Boston firm had the lot thor
oughly examined and threshed out. This pro-
cess Of cleaning developed no less than 900
pounds of Egyptian sand, which had evidently
been mixed in as the rags were packed. Some
Yankee had doubtless been selling "nutmegs'
in Alexandria, which may have suggested the
''sand bag" operation.
A Cool MANA settler in Bad AK county
Wis, a short time since injured his leg so badly
that amputation was necessary to save his life
While the surgeon was cutting away at the
limb, the patient asked for ''chew of tobacco"
and during thewhole operation conversed about
theprice of a cork leg, how long it would take
him to earn one, &c, Such desperate GOODNESS
would have gained that man Marshal's baton
in Napoleons time.
LIKING AND LovtNe.-In one of our exchanges
We read an anecflote thot shows the 5istinction
between liking and loving, as made by little
girl six years old. She was eating something
at breakfast which seemed to relish very much
