support Your Home Paper.

The Cleveland Herald tnlks thus sensi-
bly, upon the duty Of supporting home pa
pers ers;-"Recollect, if home paper is to
be supported, home influence must do it.
Every dollar sent to eastern papers is at the
expense of the local papers. A county ac-
quires prominence through its paper more
than in any other way, and to every one
who has county interests at stake, his home
paper is necessity. Never viii such a
man take paper printed away from home
until he is able to take second paper
His first paper will be his home Sheet and
he illso identify his own interests with that
of his county paper, as to consider his sub
scription as much matter of yearly duty
as the payment of his taxes.

Nor so VERY QUEsR, AFTER ALA
modern writer says: at may seem strange
but it is fact, that men generally are
much more afraid of women, than women
are Of men," Brown remarks, that the fact
is, not STRANGE at all; for in both cases
the far is proporsioned to the danger.-
Candid. but ungsllani.

The Eventful Day has Come.

Expectation IS on the up-toe as to the
causes, meaning and results of the great
demonstration tonight in support OF Jeems
Buchanan ard his candlebox friends. A
thousand rumors are afoat as to the orig
inator of this eleventh hour meeting-ru-
mors mostly devoid of probability. A
kind friend, whose intellects were so obfus-
Gated by divers and Sundry optical obser-
vations through the bottom of a glass that
he mistook us for Lecompton crony, in
sisted on "letting the cat out of the bag"
and so we became, nolens volens, aware of
the whole secret. We propose to share it
with our readers.
A few days since, each Of the disinter-
estNd patriots who are anxious to serve
-neir country by dispatching the mails and
pocketing a portion of our revered Unele's
treasury rags, received the following mys-
terious despatch, marked "strictly private
and confidential"
Ito Cleveland, Ohio.
Why the ID don't you get up meet
ing of them asses to support me? If you
can raise meeting of twenty, end call
them two thousand, the post Office is yours.
(Signed) JEEMs."
On receiving this despatch, one of the
parties addressed rushed to the printing
office and ordered big poster, calling a
meeting on Thursday evening and making
terrific onslaughts on the "Black Repu6li-
cans" and their aAllies." Half an hour
later another candidate darted into the
printing Office and ordered a similar poster
for Friday evening. The printer remarked
that the Melodeon was engaged on Friday
evening, and suggested Thursday, to which
No. 2 agreed. Later in the day candi-
date No. 8 came in and produced the copy
of poster he wanted struck of. The
printer suggested some Improvements, and
made out form identical with that adop-
ted by Nos. / and 2. Candidate No as
sented and left. Other comers were served
in the same way, and the printer struck off
the regular number of copies, receiving pay
for the entire edition from each of his pat
rons.
So much for the way the meeting was
called. Now for the programme to be car
ried cut. Some men, famous in history,
will be present, and larger number will
be "unavoidably absent" Several judges,
or less, will address the meeting, among
others the distinguished honorary member
of the bench who, some years since, mount
ed dry goods box in front of the Plain
dealer buildings and hurled whitening de-
nunciations at the editor of that paper.
"You that have tears, prepare to shed them"
when he speaks. Letters will be read from
distinguished individuals, among which
will be the following:
CORY.
"GENTLEMEN:-I would come with
pleasure, but l have not got through count
ing the Cincinnati Directory yet, and can't
say who shall give certificates to. send
you candle bcx by express, which will do
duty in my absence.
81. CANDLEBox CALHOUN"
The candle box, wreathed with hemp
and surmounted by hangman's moose,
will be deposited in place of honor on
the stage.

Tying her bonnet under her chin.
She tied her raven ringlets in;
& Bot not alone in the silken snare
Did she catch her floating hair,
For tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young man g heart within.
They strolling together up the hill,
Where the wind comes blowing merry and
chill;
And it blew the curls frolicksome race.
An over the happy. peach-color face,
Till, scolding and laughing, she tied them in,
Under her beautiful implied chin.
And it blew. a color, bright as the bloom
OF the pinkest fuschia's tossing plume.
All over the cheeks of the prettiest girl
That ever imprisoned a romping curl.
Or, in tying her bonnet under her chin.
Tied young mans heart within.
Sleeper and sleeper grew the bill
Madder, merrier. chillier still
Thewestern wind blew down and played
The widest tricks with the little maid.
As tying her bonnet under her chin.
She tied young mans heart within.
Oh, Western windi do you think it was fair
To play such tricks with her floating hairf
Te gladly, gleefully do your best
To blow her against the young man s breast,
Where he as gladly folded her in,
And kissed her mouth and her dimpled chin?
Oh, Ellery Vane, you little thought,
An hour ago, when you besought'
This country lass to walk with you.
After the sun had dried the dew,
What perilous danger you'd be in,
As she tied her bonnet under her chin.
