CONCLUSION OF Mr.. PEPPERAGE'sI
FoURTH OF July ORRATIoS.-sI shall
close" said the eloquent orator t'by an
all1eion to the vital greatness and sem
piternal importance to the National
Union" This sente6ce was greeted By
salvo Of iremendious cheersand cries
of "go it RepRerage!" THE Union !"
vociferated Mr.. p, Inspiring theme !!
How shall / find words to describe its
momemtous magnifcence and its beat
ific lustreq The Union!- lit is The
ark Of our safety the paIltlium of LTD
erlies !-tlle safeguard ofour happiness!
and the @gis of our virtues! In the
Union We can live, and move and go
, ahead. 1t watches over US at our
b rth lit fans US in our eralles--it &C.
companies us to the district school lit
gives us our victuals in due season it
selects our wives for us from "America's
fair daughters" and it does a great
many other things; to say of putting
US TO sleep sometimes, keeping the flies
from our innocent repose. While the
Union lasts, we have the most reasona
BILE prospect of plenty of fodder with
occasional drinks. Bv its benefcient
energies, however, should the present
supply give out, We shall rise superior
70 the calculations Of an ordinary and
narrow prudence, and take in Cuba.
Havti, and Mexico, and such parts Of
of all contiguous islands as may offer
prospects for an advantageous invest
lntnt. Palsied be the arm, then, and
bIistered, the tongue, and bumped the
back, and broken the legs, and vescer-
ated the stomach, of every person who
ares to think or even dream of harm
ngit! May the heaviest curse Of
time fall upon his scoundrelly soul u
Nay his own grandmother disown
him foreverl And may the SUFFRAGE
Of his fellow-citizens pursue him like
ayenging furies, till he Is driven howl
ing into Consress. For oil! my dear
iear fIiends-lny beloved fellow citi-
zens--who can foretel The agonies, Of
Elhe sorrows, Or che bligIts, and the an
Igaish, and the despair, and the black
Eryes, and the bloody noses, that would
follow, upon the dispersion Of our toe
happy, happy family. The aeeursed
myrmidoms ofdespotism, with gnashe1
teeth and blo6l.stained eyes, would
rush at large over this planet. They
would lap the crimson gore Of the
most wealthy and respectable citizens
The sobs Of females and screams ei
children would ming with the balk
Of dogs and crash Of falling columns

An OPINION or CoSGREss.-Mr.
Gur!ey, Republican, elected to Con-
gree, in Cincinnati, was formerly
Universalist minister. One of his op-
ponents was trying to persuade an old
Methodist not to vote for him. !" Do
you think you are furthering the
cause Of religion" said he, "by yot-
ing for Unaversalist--one who does
not believe in hell ~ +" Yes,r was
the old Methodist's reply, if BY the
time Mr.. Gurley has been in Congress
year he does not belive there is
hell. then am very much mistaken"

THE EYEs.-Biack eyel ladies are

though; for we know better ourself.
Black eyes, when they are naturally

eianfly strengthens all our active exrr
lions; whatever we do often We be-
come more and more apt to do. A
snuff taker begins with a pinch Of
snuff per day, apd ends with pound

in anger; it ends BY mingling itself
with ordinary conversation. Such like
are Of too common notoriety

There is an entertaining example Of
this in FieldiugS Life ofJonathan Wild
in that scene where he is represented
as laying cards with the Count pro

Fielding, was the power Of habit over
these illustrion' persons, that Mr.. Wild

AmaIgana:sIiOn.

A negro Of Hartford, Pennsylvania named
John Sophia, recently ran away with wh ite
girl named Amelia Tin!ey, eighteen yea,s ofage,
and married her. The girl belongs to res
pectabs family; and the elopement and mar
riage were brought about by an Aboi;ionist ma
med Whiting and his wife. The Moatross
Democrat says:
"When they returned to Hartford and il be-
came known that they were married, the town
was thrown into great excitement, and varionS
demonstrations were made expressive of the in.
dignation and disgust Of the citizens. On Fri.
day night they came to Montrose, to avoid, it is
said, the just indignation Of the people at home
and double bedroom was engaged by Whiting
at Searle's Hotel where the foor (Whiling and
lady, and Sophia and lady) spent the nget be
fore il was known 10 Mr.. Searle that there was
darkie in the gang. The next day Whiting
and his wife, the negro, and Robert Alexander,
who also accompanied them on their bridal tour
were arrested by the Sheriff and held to bail on
charge Of conspiracy, at the instgaton Of the
girls father. In justice TO Mr.. Tingley, his
family and numerous relatives, all Of whom oc-
cupy high standing in community, W. must
add that they are not chargeable with any wrong
in the affair; the girl has en- taught no doctrin
tending to 80 degrading result. The only ex
planatlon OF the matter is that her mind was
poisoned by the influence Of thnse engaged in
bringing about The marriage. who, Il seems, are
too fully enamored Of che modern doctrine Of
negro equality"

thus furnishing us a delicsus substitute for the
Strawberry and the Raspberry, to either Of
which they are not whit inferior. They are
said to be admirably adapted for preserves, and
make excellent wine-their juicy nature render
ing them in this latter particular unusually pro-
ductive They have become a great favorite in
the market; and as the plant is an exceedingly
hardy one and heavy producer, we do not see
why every man possessed of piece of ground
should not have his New Rochelle Blackberry"
patch. 1t would furnish him delicious berry
in the season, and the surplus he might send to
market, where they will ever command remu-
neratiye price.
We have abundance Of other testimony of
like character, and could say even more in its
praise than we have; but let every one who has
piece of ground, If only large enough for
single plant try it for himself and he will be
amply repaid. j. KNOX.
