METHOD OF MAKING A NEwsPA-
PER POPULAR.

A few years after the commencement Of
Columbian Sentinel in Boston, Mr.. Russci.
its editor and publisher, finding that the
profits arising therefrom were not sufficient
to defray his expenses, applied to Mr. Bar
rel, one of the most popular merchants of
his time, for advice as to the course he had
best pursue in the very unpleasant diem.
ma in which he was placed He informed
Mr.. Barrel of the particulars of his situa-
tiOn, in his usual plain, honest manner,
saying that his expenses so much on the
increase, and the profits were so small, that
he thought he should be obliged to give up
his paper, and seek his fortune elsewhere.
Mr.. Barrel Immediately remarked that his
case was not so desperate as he imagined
it to be, and recommended him to lash
some of the most popular characters of the
day in the most severe terms in his col
ums, which course he felt sure would not
only bring his paper into more notice than
it then was, but would greatly add to his
subscription list, and increase the patron
age Of advertisers. Mr. Russell replied
that such course would be repugnant to
his feelings, but as he had always consid-
cred Mr.. Barrel warm friend, and man
of superior judgement, he would take his
advice into serious consideration.
On the morning of the next publication
Of the Sentinel, when Mr. Barrel went into
State street, he observed almost every one
with eyes and mouths wide open. as if he
was a monster in human shape; and he
could not solve the mystery of their looks
until gentleman asked him why Mr.. Rus
sci had lashed him so numerically in his
paper of that day? Mr. Barrel at once
stepped into an insurance oficc-rcad the
paper-and as he progressed in the article
about himself. he waxed warmer and war
mer, till at length, in high dudgeon. he
found his way to the Sentinel Office, when
he demanded of the editor in round set
terms, why he had treated him 30 infs-
mously. Mr., Russell replied that as Mr..
Barrel appeared agaitated. he had better
be seated until he became cool and collect
ed, and then he would satisfy him to his
hearts content After looking to tho at
fairs of the Office, Mr. Russell appeared be-
fore Mr Barrel with low bow. and of.
fered the following explanation: "Sir. you
well know that have ever esteemed YOU
to be my most valued friend, and in whose
judgement have placed the most implicit
in my utmost need, | ep-
piled to you for advice, which You cheerful
ly gave to me; it was repugnant to my
feelings, but after mature deliberation
was satisfied it would have the desired ef
ect, and determined to pursue it. Then
had to select subject, and after looking
around among our tOwnsmen. could not
ind one whose mexceptionable character.

ccted you as the first object of attack II

GONE.
BY LIZZIE C. BEEBE.

Once again the autumn sunshine
Floats down from the soft blue sky,
Once again we have met together,
But, ah me! low good bye
Lingers on the autumn breezes,
And We turn away and sigh
Turn away and look around us
Through the open school room door,
Listen for the soft light footstep,
Falling on the school roori floor
For the face that used to greet us,
That will come, ah, never more.
And sadness floats around us,
Mingles with the autumn hours;
For she vanished from our circle,
Vanished with the summer flowers;
But she's blooming, brighter, fairer,
In a SUMMER cline than ours.
And We wonder if her spirit,
Mingling with the angel band,
Ever filters through the dimness
That hides from us the better land
If the clouds are ever parted
By her snowy angel hand
If her spirit fingers often
In the home that once she blest:
If she brings to hearts that loved her
Glimpses of her heavenly rest;
If her soft hand soothes the aching
Of stricken mothers breast:
Yes, we know our Father tells us,
Though he calls our loved ones home
Yet as minestering spirits
Their bright forms will often come,
And their hands at length will lead us
To the green banks of their home.

OLD BELLS IN OHIO.

In the cupola of the Court House in
Lancaster, in this State, there hangs a
bell, and thereby hangs tale" By the
Spanish inscription on its side, it appears
that it was cast early in the fifteenth CEN
turr,-we forget the precise date.
1t once belonged to convent in Spain,
and the sounds which summon to dull dis
putcs of law, and perhaps of equity, the
people of the new world, not knowing
when they first rung. often called the nuns
at morning and evening to mathis and YES
pcrs.
The story, as tradition hath it, runs
something after this fashion:
MANY years ago, when the banditti who
infested some parts of Spain, were so fierce
and powerful, this convent was sacked by
them; and the bell being among the booty.
it was transferred to a pirate ship. The
ringing and the swing, which had hitherto
spoken in clear musical tones across the
hill and valley only to divotion and pray
er, was now changed to the "clashing clang-
or" which struck upon the cars of wild
and desperate men, and surged sadly over
the tumultuous sea.
"How often it summoned the lawless
crew to deeds of pillage and murder may
not be said. The piratical vessel, in its
turn, fell into the hands of pursuing JUS
ticc, and was brought a captive to Balti-
more. A gentleman who had contracted
to build the Court House in the town of
Lancaster, purchased the bell when the
ship was sold, forwarded it to that village,
and for years its notes have been echoed
by hills as beautiful as the most romantic
bells could desire, though its use can no
longer be deemed practicable.
In Tifin, there is also bell which once
swung from the turrct of castle on the
Thine, so that almost within speaking
distance of each other, these bells toll forth /
the memory Of the past; and it would not |
be difficult to imagine that upon still nights
and lovely summer mornings, they hold
converse together over their singular histo-
tr;es.-Cn. Times.

OUTRAGE UPON A COLORED GEN.
TLEMAN.

On Thursday forenoon at the jersey City
R. R. Depot, as the III l2 train of the
Morris and Essex cars was about leaving
the Depot, young colored man, neatly
attired, and presenting genteel appearance,
stepped into one of the cars and took seat
for the purpose of going to Orange. Pres
emily an employee of the Company came
along and ordered the young man out, at
the same time informing him that he could
take up his quarters in the baggage car
The young man stated he had purchased
ticket the same as other travellers, and de-
clined to travel under the head of baggage,
and refused to leave the car, when he was
forcibly elected and rather roughly handled.
This was witnessed by quite number of
passengers, many of whom expressed consid-
cradle Indignation. Upon inquiry, it was
that the passenger is one Of the
Luca family. consisting Of three brothers,
who are quite extensively known throughout
the country as vOcalists. They reside at
New Haven; are said to be quite well of,
and are generally respected. The cOnduc-
tor of the train assigned as reason for the
course pursued, that Luca was drunk.
His appearance, however, did not indicate
the truth of the assertion.
Yesterdays Tribune says Mr.. Luca is
about to commence suit against the COM
Dany for the unwarranted assault made up
IN him. He denies that he was drunk or
hat he is in the habit of drinking. !

Can We Win in 1860 2

The Newark, New Jersey, Mercary,
puts this question, aud answers it, as VIC
think most sensibly. II says:
Certainly we can, il we are determined
and energetic. The countrr is thoroughly

many branless logs and timid politicians
