From the Tri nifty (Cal.) Journal,
MARY brow
BIT L. y. WELLS.

She dvelt where long the wintry showers
Hold undisputed sway,
Where frowning April drives the flowers
Far down the lane Of May.
A simple, rustic child of song,
Reared in chilling zone,
The idol Of household throng-
The cherished one Of home.
None sang her praise, or feard her fame
Beyond her native town;
She bore no fancy-woven name,
Twas simple Mary Brown.
Her eyes were not shining black,
Nor yet heavenly blue,
They might be hazel or alack
Some less poetic hue;
Indeed | mind me, long ago,
One pleasant summer dsy
A passing stranger caught their glow,
think he called them gray.
Yet when with earnestness they burned
Till other eyes grew dim;
Their outward tint was ne'er discerned-
The spell was from within.
A novelist, with fancy's pen
Would scarcely strive to trace
From her fairy heroine
OF machless mein, and grace,
Amodel for the painters skill,
Or for the sculptor's art
Her form might not be called yet still
1t bore gentle heart;
The while it fondly treasured long
Loves lightest whispered tone,
In other hearts she sought no wrong
She knew none in her own.
Though never skilled in fashions school,
To sweep the trembling keys,
Or strike the harp by studied rule,
A listening throng TO please;
Yet still when anguish rent the soul,
And fever racked the brain,
Her fingers knew that skillful touch
Which soothed the brow of pain
And widow thanks, and orphan tears
Had owned her tender care,
While little children gathered near
He: earnest love to share.
] might forget the queenly dame
0fhigh and courtly birth.
Descending from an ancient name
Among the sons Of earth;
scarce recall the dazzling eyes
Other the village belle,
Who caused so many rural sighs
From rustic hearts to swell
Yet never can cease to own
While future years shall roll,
Thy passing beauty, Mary Brown
The beauty Of the soul.

Brassel, have Of late made a business of
going into the counties ofGeorgia, examin.

in too low an estimate of his property and
then informing on him, getting SO on ev-
cry 500 that the estimate was too low.
They made $4,000 out of one county
Goblin this way. They entered Morgan

About thirty miles above Wilmington.
North Carolina, lived three fellows, ma
med respectively, Barham, Stone, and
Gray, on the banks of the North East
River. They came down to Wilmington
in a a small row>boat, and made fast to
the wharf They hal time of it in the
city, but for fear they would get dry be-
fore getting home, they procured jug Of
whiskey, and after dark of black night
too, they embarked in their boat, expect
ing to reach home in the morning. They
rowed away with all the energy that three
half tipsey fellows could muster, keeping
up their spirits in the darkness by pouring
spirits down. At break of day they
thought they must be pretty near
home, and seeing through tie dim gray of
morning a house on tue river sida, Stone
said:
well, Barham, we've got to your place
at last"
"If this is my place, (said Barham,
somebody has been putting up lot -
out-houses since went away yesterday;
but I'll 20 ashore and look about it. aud
see where we are, if you'll hold her to-"
Barham disembarks, takes observation,
and soon comes stumbling along back, and
says:
well, I'll be whipped if we amt at
Wilmington here yet and what's more
the boat has been hitched to the shore all
night"
ltwas fact, and the drunken dogs had
been rowing away for dear life without
knowing it.

nent candidate; but on the other
hand, he would elicit warmer and
more effective support.
The Presidential battle Is realty to
be fought IN advonce Of the ,somsina-
tion,-and the decisive campaign is to
be IN the ranks Of the Democratic par
ty. If that party makes a sectional
nomination we shall have a sectional
canvass, a sectional triumph, and Z
sectional administration and the
North will be the victor. 1t Mr..
Douglas is nominated, by the act or
even the cordial acquiescence Of The
South, he will be presented to the coun,
try as national candidate, and will
have very fair claims to that distinc~
ton. So far as his political career is
concerned, he has offended both North
and South alternately, and is not like.
ly to be claimed AZ the exclusive friend
OF either and his position in favor
OF popular sovereignty is certainly a
very fair compromise between the
Northern claim that Congress. must in.
tervene to exclude Slavery from the
Territories, and the Southern claim
that it must intervene for its protection.

OUTSIDE HELP NEEDED

The black Republicans do not con-
fine their Intervention notions to the.
Territories, but apply them as well to-
the States. Just now we see they are
putting them in practice in the case of
Minnesota Not only is the factory at
Washington running day and night,
turning out tons upon tons Of election
eering docufleits which are posted of
to- that State, but all the black Repab-
lican orators are in great demand for
the ssms benighted region Grow,
Colfax, Carl Schtnz, Senator Doolittle
and half dozen others are engaged
to minister in the State before elect
ion: 1t Is presumed they will divide
their time between preaching up
Congressional intervention on the one
hand and repudiatioh of the State lia-
bilities on the other, as these are the
two cardinal planks of the party in
Minnesota, and all the outside felp
they can muster will be needed to sus-
tain them, and it is to be feared they
will fall even at that---Detroit Free

NAMING A GAIA gentleman do
ing business on Main street, day or
two since was presented with q beau
tiful kitten. Yesterday a couple of
young ladies happened in the store,
and of course kitty, as kittens and ba.
bics always do, came in for an i'm
mense quantity Of endearments and
caresses.
*Ob. my! What a sweet, darling
little kitty! What is its name 20

''Oh, the dear thing! Do call it

SAM BEMAN AROUND.

COOPER, the author of the celebrated
Battle Greek letter. in which he
begged Owens, then Of the Mimneso-
tian, to puff him, was at Saratoga on
wednesday evening, in company with
the Juvenile prodigy WooDFoRD.----
After the New York STRIPPING had
taken, his srread-eagle, Forth Of July
soar, and showed his person where
Munchausen shot the Bear, ,(according
to DoNNELLY,) COOPER got up and
commenced his Reputation harran-
que. He wallowed through the filthy
subject the best he could; falsitylng the
record, and lying miscellancously,
when he ''dried up" much to the relief
of his hearers.
Hon. SAM BEMAS; being loudly
called for took the stand; and in a mas.
terly and eloquent argument tore down
the rotten fabric built by COOPER. 1,
is said that BEMAN fairly tayed the
author ofthe Battle-C Greek epistlc.
He showed that Cooper, in advocat
ing the policy Of the Republican party
on questions ofstate policy, was preach
ing the rankest Repatriation. For an
hour and half Mr.. BExAN held his
audience spell-bound. His excoration
OF COOPER was perfectly fearful--~it
was regular cruelty to dumb animals.
The Jud ge left Saratoga expressing
perfect disgust for the people Of Wi.
mona county, while his .f.ue,aile tenoe,
was heard to exclai1p ''miserable SCI

A MEAN TRICK.

In his speeches and electioncerine
|tramps through this county, we are
told, St. A. D. BALcoxBE is in the
habit Of appealing to the prejudices O.
the people in the following style:-
''The disaster which has come upor
the State from her Banking policy, i
attributable to the Democracy. Nearl,
every farmer has from one to FIVE dol
lars Of the broken bank Of Rochester
in his pocket etc Now, the cream
Of the whole joke this Saint fails te
skim off. In the first place the 2o.
chester never issued any bills Of les:
denomination than S.; soft would b<
rather difficult matter for " the far
mers" to hold from one to- FIVE dollars
of its currency. In the second place
St. A. D. BALcoMBE and MATHEW P
BEMUs, his partner in the black Mai
operation on De GRAFT, sold State
Bonds to the officers of the Bank O.
Rochester, and received their currency
therefore to the amount Of over FOR
TY THOUSAND DOLLARS. Thi
currency they put in circulation, etnde,
q solemn loromise'to tie Bank tho
they WOULD PROTECT 1T. Thi:
money, or the most of it, was put il
circulation in Winona county; and th<
failure Of the Bank is chiefly attribute
BILE to the fact that BALcoMBE anG
BEMUs refused to protect the none,
they had put in circulation, and schicl
they promised to protect. Who, then
is guilty Of swindling? Was it mo-
this same hypocritical St. A. D. BAL
coMBR, with his associate BEMUs, who
had put the money in circulation, bu>
did not protect it, as they had solemnly
promised to do?
MIR. BALcoMBE is welcome to all he
can make out of this disgraceful charge
He has been guilty Of robbing the pco
|ple in not protecting the promises to
pay Of the Bank of Rochester as he
agreed to do. He got a circulation
for the money-got the worthless
trash off his hands upon the homes,
farmers and mechanics and !aborers
|of the county-and being satisfied
with the "opcration he has made of
Col. DE GRAFT in selling out his stra.e
directorship, and off the Bank of Ro.
chester, in putting their money in cir
culation and refusing to redeem it, a.
he promised, he now seeks by the most
abject falsehood to shift the responsi.
bility of the disaster which he has en-
sued upon other parties. The trick is
a dirty one-..it is vile and dishonest
one---yet it is just such an one as nigh,
be expected from St. A. D. BALLOON.

tells a story to exemplify the stability
fittings in England. He says that

DOUGLAS TENNESSEE,

The Memphis correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican thus writes OF
Douglas in Tennessee:
MI. Pasehall: You will, perhaps,
sfomember me as a participant in the
Douglas excursion from this city last
fall. Permit me, in any event, to rs.
sure you that the admiration for the
Senator from Illinois has never abated
in this portion of Tennessee. There
are now five papers in this congress.
ional district openly proclaining their
preference for Douglas.
There was an immense concourse
assembled at Collierville on Saturday
last, where Gov. Jones and others
congratulated the people on the tri.
umph Of Democracy in Tennessee
At the conclusion Of the Governors
speech, number Of garlsnded school
girls came upon the stand and pre-
sented him with beautiful banner, on
which was inscribed, "Douglas and
Cuba-ls6o!!" II anything could
attest the feeling Of the people, moth
ing was more calculated to do this
than the outburst OF applause which
attended this unexpected demonstra
ton. Douglas has his stronghold here
in Tennessee, and from this point his
name and influence will pervade the
entire South. The people are for him.
whatever may be the course Of the
politicians.
Let your readers understand one
fact e,. PEASANT, that the defeat of the
Democracy in our congressional elec
tons was attributable to ger7yma'ezer
ism, and not to "Oppositionism." NJ
