shouted at the top of his voice, "Go in,
Tige :"
And Tige did "go in" Instantly the
tide OF battle was turned. Tige secured
and was making good use of his advant-
age ground, when bulls owner suddenly
became converted to a peace-maker.-
Suiting the action to the idea, he made
feint to release his dog from tho vice

Will itPaxa

The above IS very common question
a very proper one, too, as every one ad-
mits. We propose to notice some things
that "won't pay"
1t won't pay to snake haste to be rich"
at the expense of health, happiness snd
intellect. The man who starves his mind
because be is too stingy to purchase books,
will find ont by and BY that it "won't pay" !"
The man who denies himself the luxury
of good family papers, because, as he says,
be is too poor to afford them, will find that
he is pursuing the wrong eourse-sit won't
pay" The man who works like slave
from morn till night year in and year out,
makes his children do the same, and never
takes any recreation, must find to his sor-
row, sooner later, that it did not pay. The
man who cheats his neighbor to increase
his own store, and oppresses the fatherless
and widow, will find that it didn't pay.
The man who cultivates the soil with
the same implements his father used forty
years ago, will find it won't pay. Hwon't
pay to plant crops on "hard par" or whor-
tleberry knobs, without manuring the
ground well, which is scarcely ever done.
1t won't pay to invest money in "western
lands" 10 the neglect of Happiness snd COM
forts of your family. 1t won't pay to
scowl at your children till they get tired
of home and insensible to all the finer
feelings of the heart.-Rural New York

was great eater, and l find that baked

A Democratic Organ Deserts the
PartY.


The editor of the New York Herald Is
showing some signs of deserving the Dem.
ocrats In their warfare on the Republican
party for its alleged completely with the
late Harper's Ferry affair. In q late arti-
Gle on the Virginia riot, the Herald re-
marks:
Sand how were all these disasters, and
fierce and revolutionary Kansas border
rufian wars, and this Eve years internal
agitation of Slavery, eulminotiag in this
Harper's Ferry out6reQk-how wers all
those troubles brought a6outs By that
one solitary act-THE REPEAL OF
THE MISSOURI COMPROMISE
That Compromise was the Pandors's box,
the opening of which let loose all this train
of evils upon the country. Piercs and
Douglas wanted the votes Of the South in
the Cincinnati Convention; Jefferson Davis
aaxed them on; Caleb Cushing joined
the league; Marcy stood aloof, strong
enough 10 stop the movement, but afraid
to resist it; Atehison, ruled out Of the SEN
ate from Missouri, saw chance to come
back to the Senate from Kansas, with the
door opened so that Kansas might BE-
made Slave State. The door was opened.
Atehison and has pro Slavery Aissourians
begun their scork."
This is home thrust which will Gauss
some shaking among the dry bones ss
Washington. But, in speaking of the pub
fishers of the Constitution newspaper, the
Herald is still more explicit,
ave have shown that these misguided
and reckless men were clearly guilty of
this high crime, and that all who gave
them aid and comfort in the matter of this
rebellion, and all who, knoa0isg their de-
signs, ksptths secrets oftlsse traifors, may
be and should be, as far as possible, ar
raigDed and tried by the Government of
the United States, as accessories before the
fact in this crime of treason"
There are minors sfest which directly
implicate the administration ia this insur-
rection;' and as a cotemporary remarks,
that having failed in reaping from that
affair the political advantages which it
promised, the President and his Cabinet
are well satisfied to let the matter bass into
oblivion. The Herald, however, is not 50
disposed, and we may therefore look for
revised edition of Developments" in that
journal. The New York Courier, in an
article on this subject, remarks:
"But it does appear, both by testimony
and the admissions of the administration,
that one person, and one person only, was
cognizant of the intended outbreak; and
"a0ho knoacing their designs, kept the Sc
eret Of these traitors" That person is the
Secretary of War Gov. Floyd; and at him,
doubtless, this shaft of the Herald is
aimed.

Thrilling Incident..A Conduct
or q COW.Catcher.

Our readers Will, COuOtleSS remember
reading a thill incident published by US
some since, of an engineer on some west
ern railroad, having crawled down upon
the cow-catcher of the engine and saving
child, which was playing upon the road,
from destruction, by throwing it off the
track. An incident of precisely similar ma
ture, and displaying rs much heroism, oc-
CURED on the Pennsylvania railroad last
Friday, the particulars of which we gather
from the Hollidaysburg Standard.
As one of the freight trains coming east
rounded sharp curve, near Barree Siding,
station about twelve miles west of Hunt
ington, the engineer saw small child sit
ting in the middle of the track, playing,
unconscious of its danger. He instantly
whistled down the breaks and re yersed his
engine, but the weight of the train and
the high speed at which it was running
rendered it impossible to stop before reach
ing the child, which must inevitably have
been crushed to death. In this emergen-
cy, when most men would have been paral-
yzed with horror, the conductor of the
train, Daniel Mccoy, with steadiness of
nerve that has few parallels ran to the front
of the engine, crawled down on the cow
catcher, and holding himself with one
hand, leaned as far forward as possible, and
as be approached the child, with a sweep
ing blow of the other he threw it off the
track. 1t was the work of an instant, and
required steady hand and cool head TO
accomplish it, but he was equal to the
emergency. The train was Immediately
stopped, and on going back the child was
found lying at the foot of enbankment,
some twenty or thirty feet from the track
of the road, alive and kicking, but some
what stunned and bruised. The child be-
longed to farmer named Nef, residing
Immediately along the road.
