A few days since n big buck negro,

that she and the negro, her seducer,
had been living upon terms ofintimacy

and lett the house with the drtermina-

While on her way to the pond she met
with this diaboi al liend, who, with
open knife in his hand, threatened to
cut her throat if she did not follow
him to Free State, which she con-

How TO LIFT THEM.-We don't know

"The hoops should be near together,
say two or three inches apart, and
come to within as many inches of the
feet or bottom of the dress. A word
about the management OF the dress.
In the first place, in going up stairs
you need only lift tho front of your
dress, and in descending, the back OF
your skirts. The front part Of your
dress can by no effort be soiled in de-
scending, nor the back part by ascend

have reform in this, in my mind.

WHAT WILL THE PRESIDENT
MAKE DURING HIS TERM?

"Occasional," who has hcen figuring
out during the last year the amount
of condemnation that the President
will reap during his Administration, il
now calculating his pccuniary profit
lie writes:
The manner in which the President
Of the United states pays his expenses
and manages his establishment, would
be an interesting inquiry. When we
compare the enormous sums voted to
European monarchs with the salary
Of the Chief Magistrate of the United
States, we are disposed to charge our
country with parsimony; but there
can be no doubt that, whatever others
may have done, the present occupant
Of the Presidential chair really makes
money out of his Office. Mr.. Buchan-
an is singular man ia his personal
expenditures. He never had any
tastes or appetitcs outside Of his cir
Gle of admirers aud friends. He has
reduced, by the closest calculation,
the domestic management OF his es.
tablishmcnt to a science. Franklin
Pierce never thought Of saving money,
but opened his heart and his house to
everybody who came to see him.
MilIard Fillmore was a generous
and genial gentleman. Nor is Mr..
Buchanan himself at all ndisposed to
the pleasures oisocial life; but having
studied the mysteries Of Washington
society, and having seen Gen. Jackson
cxpending more than his salary, he
has restricted himself within a certain
circle, and he will not 60 beyond

least sixty thousand. Almost the en-

wants, the lighting, the stabling, the
general police Of the establishments,

he did so before be was elected TO the

Congress he gives a weekly dinner, to

the diplomatic corps, and afterwards
the representatives. Of the people of
both branches in detail; but all this,
urdcr a system Of close management,
costs IL comparatively small sum, so
there is a good deal Of cxaggeration

SUICIDES,

Every mail brings accounts Of sui
cides at various places. What is the
matter, and wonder if everybody IS
going deranged? Scarcely town
among the thousands on the American
continent, but can tell of Il suicide
lately in its suberbs. In Maury coun-

citizen, named Voorhies,
took his own life. One in Memphis,
one in Louisville, one in White coun.

derers see less misery in that unknown
but terrible-to think of State. Ifthere
were no hereafter ii man could die,
and that be the last of him--then we
would not wonderto see human beings
sever their existence from this world.
But Il something within us tells that
life does not cease when we are laid
in the charnel-house OF death-in the
silent grave yard.

CONSTANT EMPLOYMENT.


The man who is obliged to be con.
stantly employed to earn the nccessa.
ries of life and support his family,
knows knot the unhappiness he prays
for when he desires wealth and idle
ness. To be constantly busy, is to be
always happy. Persons who have
suddenly acquired wealth, broken up
their active pursuits, and begun to
live at their case, waste away, and
die in very short time. Thousands
would have been blessings to the
world, and added to the common stock
ofhappiness, if they had been content
to remain in humble sphere and
earned every moulhful of food that
nourished their bodies. But, no: fash.
ion and wealth took possession Of
them, and they were completely ruin.
ed. They ran away from peace and
pleasure, and embraced a lingering
death. Yc who are signing for the
Pomp and splcndor of life, beware -
Yc know not what ye wish. How is
it possible tor yc to be happy while
you possess discontented and de-
ceitful heart? No situation, howev-
or eXalted--no wealth, however mag
niticent-no honors, however glorious
can yield you solid enjoyment, willie
discomfort turks in your bosom. The
secret Of happiness lies in this: to be
always contentcd with your lot, and
never sigh for the spendor of riches,
or the magnilicence Of fashion and
power. Persons who are always
busy and go chccrful!y to their daily
tasks, are the least disturbe by tie
fluctuations of business, and at night
sleep with perfect composurc. The
idle and TIE rich are seldom conten-
ted. They are pcevish, lrotl'uI, iras-
cible. Bid them good morning, and
they scowl. Nature and art appear
to have few attractions for them
They are entirely out Of their views.
While in this state, the springs Of life
are rusting out, and the decay Of
death has commenced undermining
their constitutions.

DEATHS CAUSED BY BURNING
FLUID.

In most of the following instances
of loss Of life and property, the "acci.
dent" no doubt resulted from the Grim.
inal cale!essncs Of filling the lamp
with fluid while it was burning; and
get people will not take warning.
Mr.. L. Merriam, of Brooklyn, states
that he has kept a record of the deaths,
injuries and conaigrations, resulting
from the use Of camphene and other
burning fluids used for the purpose OF
illumination, since July 90, lSjO.--
Since that date he has recorded the
deaths of three hundred and seventy
persons, and the injuries of four hun
dree and scventy-seven persons, many
of the latter Of whom the accounts
stated were not expected to survive
the injuries they received. The loss.
es by fire from these fluids he estima.
ted at upwards one million dollars
Mr.. Merriam says that when the wea-
ther becomes hot, in summer. the dan.
ger from the use ofburning fluids will
increase. In the short term of thirty
six days, within the present year, he
had recorded the death of nine per-
sons by camphene and burning fluid.
We may not ever have to record the
death of any one in Winchester from
the use of burning fluid, but we would
caution all to be careful how they use
it, else a fire will break out from it,
and our town 60 as it was about to do
a few weeks since. The citizens will
not build any cisterns, or provide any
means Of protection in case such an
emergency comes, therefore we urge

Printers are thought to be great
duns-simply because they speak of
these matters in print. The printer
in dunnins one nun through his pa
per, makes it public to all of his read
ers--whilst other persons dun one
man, in person, at time. The rea-
son is obvious-after it is explained.
The printer is no greater dun than
other men, but his calls meet the eye
not the ear, of more persons at the

No wreck is so shocking to behold
as that of a dissolute young man.
On the person cf the debauchee or in
ebrlate, inlamy is written. How ma
ture hangs labels over him to testify
her disgust at his example. How she
loosens all his joints, sends tremors
along his muscles, and binds forward
his frame. The wretch whose life

heart has been stepped in sin so that

HIDDEN LOVE.

''h ~ HsN ~ ~
There Ia many a tender love unseen,
That close IN tho bosom dwslls,
A the bud concsals tho flower within
Tho leaves offs folding cells.
There many treasured love unknown,
That deep In the heart Ia laid,
Llkoa vein OF gold, or precious stone,
Concealed from the mincl's spade.
There Ia manya struggling lovo untold,
by feeling Itself suppressed,
A. the trembling lips cannot unfold,
The thoughts that We loys the best.
There IA many thrilling love unsunc,
Unheard as the SPIRITS wing,
A. the song on the harp though sweetiy strung
May sleep On the silent string
There ls many cherished love unbreathsd,j
That dles with the f.ithui breast,
Or, perchance, In dying words bequcathed,
As the bosom sinks to rest.
There Is many a love we dare not namo,
Though purest 0iealthy loycsj
There Is many love the world may blame,
That Heaven itself approves!
