YeA- The Lecture delivered by the
Rev. ]. L. Kelly at the NJ. +. Church
last monday evening, was one Of the best
entertainment it has been our privilege
TO enjoy in town.
His subject, "Public Sentiment" was
handled in an admirable manner.
Ho impressed upon his hearers the
importance Of forming their own judg.
ments upon every subject which might
engage the attention Of the public, ire
spectiyo Of public opinion.
He showed that many had arisen to
distinction and had their names indelibly
stamped upon the pages of history, BY
maniully opposing corrupt public sen
liment
He slso showed that it was the ex-
treme folly Of a mailman to undertake
to Withstand healthy and virtuous pub
lie opinion.
The audience was quite largo, and by
their close attention, manifested much
interest.
The next Lecture in the series will Lc
given at tn. same place next Monday
evening by T. W. Jackson Esq.
"a. Some Of the workmcn employed
BY Mr.. G. J. Epeneter in digging a well
the other day, near our sanctum. found
at the depth Of AZ feet number Of
small pieces Of wood, few specimens
Of which We have in our Office. They
we're once evidently small trees or limbs
Of some specie Of fir. In digging the
vol, they first passed through 4 feet Of
soil then layer Of fine yellow sand 10
or II feet thick, next layer of yellow
clay about 4 feet thick, when they reach
Sd : bed Of blue clay through which
they had not penetrated when the whole
depth of the we'll was a. feet. 1t was
in this bed Of blue clay that these anti
deluvian--and we will will add anf;-Lis
toric specimens were found.
D0- Last week We notified those who
had ordered fruit trees and shrubery
from Mcssrs Horr & Bccbce's nu.eery
to call at our Office and complete their
contracts. A rumhcr have not yet
complied with the call which ir they
neglect . few days longer. they will linl
themselves minus shat they ordered.
Again we invite them to call and COM
plcte their contacts.
1@- At The approach of warm wealth
er various kinds Of vermin and reptiles
leave their secluded winter haunt,, to en- ;.
Joy the sunny smiles Of spring. We
were never more thoroughly convinced
Of this act, than We are at present, by
observing almost every day a',out dozen
nrchins from to u years old romring
about town using all manner Of profanc
and vulgar language, and frequently
hallooing at the top Of their voices.
We observe also that nearly all Of this
gang arc sons Of protested christians.
II Is said word to the wise is SUI
cicnt.
But then We recollect also that these
parents do not take their county paper,
80 that our hint may be lost.
Will some one speak to them !?

WELSH SAYINGS Three things
that never become rusty-the money
of the benevolent, the shoes of the
butchers horse, and woman s tongue.
Three things not easily done--to al
lay thirst with fire, to dry wet with
water, and to please all in everything
thing that is done.
Three things that are as good as the
best-brown bread in famine, we'll
water in thirst, and a gray coat in cold.
Three things as good as their better
dirty water to extinguish the fire,
an ugly wife to blind man, and a
wooden sword to a coward.
Three warnings from the grave
" thou knowest what / was thou sees
what ] am; remember what / was !;
remember what thou art to be-"
Three things of short continuance
a wolnan's love, chip fire, ana a brook
food.
Three things thatVought never to be
from home-the cat, the chimney, and
the housewife.
Three essentials to a false story-tel-
ler--a good memory, bold face, and
fools for an audience.
Three things seen in peacock
the garb Of an angel, the walk Of a
thief, and the voice of the devil.
Three things it is unwise to boast of
the favor Of thy ale, the beauty of
thy wife, and the contents Of thy purse.
Three miseries Of a mans house
a smoky chimney, adrooping roof, and
a scolding wife.

A POETLCAL MIXTURE,


The moon was shining silver bright;
All bloodless lay th' untrodden snow ;
When freedom from her mountain light
Exclaimed, Now, don't be foolish Joe !
An hour passed on the Turk awoke ;
A humble bee went laundering by,
10 hover in the sulphur smoke,
And spread a pail upon the sky.
His echoing axe the settler swung /;
He was lad of high renown,
And deep the pearly caves among
Giles Scroggins courted Sally Brown.
Loud roars the wild, inconstrnt blast,
And cloudless sets the sun at even;
When twilight dews are falliag fast,
And rolls the thunder drum of heaven
Oh, ever thus from childhoods hour,
BY torch and trumpet fast arrayed,
Beneath yon ivy-mantled tower,
The bull-frog croaks his serenade.
O my love is ike the red, red rose;
He bought ring with posey true;
Sir Barney Bodkin broke his nose,
And, Saxon, lam Roderick Dhu!

| THE INFLUENCE OF A Coon WOMAN
sometimes think the influence of q
good woman greater than that of 8
| good man. There are so many avenues
to the human heart left open to hel
gentle approach, which would be in.
stantly barrrd up at the sound Of rough
er footsteps. One may tell anything
to a good woman. In her presence
pride sleeps or is disarmed. The old
child-feeling comes back upon the
world-weary man, and he knows not
why he has reposed the unsought con-
tidence which has SO lightened bis
heart. Why, he goes forth again
ashamed that one SO feeble is so much
mightier. Why he could fly from the
foe whose approach she courrageously
tarries. Why be thinks Of the dagger
or pistol, or poisoned cup, while she,
accepting the fierce blast of misfortune
meekly bows her head till the whirl-
wind be believing, hoping
knowing that heavens bright smile Of
sunshine will break through at last
The worldweary man looks on with
wonder, reverencing yet not compre-
hending. How can we comprehend
He who stands in his pride, with his
painting soul uncovered, in the scorch-
ing sahara Of reason, and then com
plains that no dew falls, no showers de
scend, no buds blossoms or fruit cheer
him2 How can he who faces with
folded arms and decant attitude, com.
prahend the twining love-clap and sat
isied heart-rest which comes only Of
love? Thank God, woman is not too
proud to take what she SO much needs.
That she does not wait to comprehend
the Infinite before she can love. That
she does not plant her foot and refuse
to stir, till her Guide tells her why he
is leediug her by this path instead of
tAat; and though every footprint be
marked with her hearts blood, she does
not relax her grasp or doubt His faith.
Well may her glance, her touch, the
rustic of her garments even have pow>
er to soothe and bless; well may the
soft touch Of such upon brows knotted ]
with the worlds strife bring cooIness
and peace. Oh, woman, do not with
your arms akimbo, leave it to profane
Delliahs to hold Sampson by sbearing
bis locks Be strong minded as you
will, if only you be pure and gentle>
hearted.
