The following capital story is told o
John Owens, the favorite comedian
John was playing an engagement a
the Howard Athenanm, in Boston, las
summer, and was despatched by the man
ager to perform for week in one of the
interior towns Of western Massachusetts
One day while sojournng there, plain
good natured son of the soil came up tc
him as he was enjoying his after break
fast cigar, and addressed him thus,

night, acting out the funny feller so

The part alluded to was Solon Shingle

where's near yeou, Squire Yes, yeou

The comedian evinced his deep sense
of the compliment paid him by graceful
touch of his hat, and his new friend pro-
ceeded

Lola is lecturing in England, and re
penishing her purse. Her chief theme
is America and the Americans. In 4
lecture at Liverpool she said of us:
Volatile and enthusiastic in their feel
ings, the Americans were easily thrown
into state of universal, feverish excite
ment, during which they literally wor-
shipped their idols, and as easily relapsed
into state of calm, in which their indif-
ference was as profound as their enthusi-
asm had been ecstatic. In illustration,
she referred to the reception given in
America to Kossuth, who was afterwards
plunged in such an abyss of infamy and
abuse as no man ever rested under before
-(hisses) they first made god of him,
and then converted him into a demon.
On the laying of the atlantic cable the
Americans took to themselver all the glo-
ry; there was telegraphic whrlwind,
and the people danced with kind of
galvanic delight; the "mighty Cyrus
Qaughter)-was almost deified but now
his three days of glory-Qaughter was
gone. The Americans had more activity
and go-a-headativness- (laughter) and
spirit than the English who, however, had
more strength and substance. Indeed,
the characteristic Of the American was
"speed, whilst that of the Englishman
was strength" The American was
formidable in attack; the Englishman,
though beaten, was still formidable, but
beaten American was good for nothing.
The no capital principle was peculiarly
of America. A broken down tradesman
could enter the learned profession of law
ormedicine with three months study, and
be at the head of his profession in six
monts afterwards (aughter) and these
professions are made of broken down mer
chants, horse jockeys, prize fighters, and
adventures.
The element of "speed" entered even
into religion, which, like everything else,
went by steam; its professors travelled
by an express railway train to glory
There was no place in the world where
public opinion was so great tyrant, and
where an unpopular cause was branded
with so much infamy. The time of a
woman's gaieiy in America was when she
unmarried. " But" said Lola, with sug-
gestive emphasis, "when the choice is
made (roars of laughter) good bye to her
freedom and happiness. She must be
submissive to her husband, become a
wife, and so forth. Ii i were man.

prefer an American girl to flirt with. but
should chose an English girl to marry.

fair in America. dare say men think it |
SO in this country, but they have not been

THE UNCONsOLED.

The ground is soft, and wet,
And the clouds, are dull and gray,
And the trees, with blackened branches,
Look blacker still to-day.
There are no plowers in the field,
No wagons pass the lane
The black-birds all are gone,
To their shelter in the cane:
And we ask, in looking upward,
TO those skies, all darkened DER:
"Oh serene, oh lovely sunshne
Wilt thou come again no more ~
They too, who feel the gloom,
OF sad hearts weary pain;
Who have =" seen their hopes departed"
Like birds before the rain.
All many, who, through binding tears,
Look up to skies o'ercast,
Skies that once were bright with dreams,
Now forgotten with the past.
Look up, and ask despairingly,
OF the joys long gone before
ooh fair Hope, liie-gving sunshine,
Wilt thou come again no more 7"
See now, in yonder wood,
A tinge of Hopes fair green,
And ray, through blooming peach trees,
Comes glimmering in between,
But though, yon lovely patch of blue,
And birds that sing to-day,
Tell US" light for aye, is true,
And that clouds shall pass away"
STILL sad ones-though prophet sunbcams,
Stream, thus gladly on the floor,
Vainly looking, say, heart sunshine,
Thou wilt come again no more"

1t ID our painful duty to record sad acct
dent, which happened to Mr.. VIM. Butler, q
thrifty farmer living about two miles south
east Of this city, on Monday Of this week, and
resulting in bis death. Having occasion to
use his mules, be went into his pasture to
catch them, and one Of them not being in
clined to be caught, he was compelled to give
it chase After following it around for
some time, he approached it from the oppo-
site side Of bush, when it kicked him in the
stomach with both heels, telling him to the
ground. Not thinking that he was badly hurt,
he arose and pursued it again for short
distance, when he became almost blind, and
beginning to realize that he was badly in
jured, went immediately to his house, which
was near by. From that time he continued
to grow worse until Thursday night about Q
O'Clock, when he died. The injury was in
ward, and it was impossible to tell exactly its
nature and extent. Mr.. Butler was q Young
man OF about thirty years of age, had fam !.
lily Of FIVE children, and was highly esteemed
as citizen and neighbor. He was attend :
ed by Drs. Rutledge and CAT, who did every
thing in their power to save him Winter
