MEAN MAN.-It takes New York mer.
chant to cypher out the actual cash value of an
upright, downright genuine nobeman. There
are so many mean men nowadays that an
extra crop of any other sort is not looked for
during the present generation. Now and then
man OF the right stamp is discovered but
they are like angels visits. Reader, of course
we don't mean you, but we wish to tell you
about a certain neighbor of yours-even if
you should see your face in the glass don't be
frightened. The one we particularly refer to is
merchant, and he regularly comes to the
New York market.
He is a man who always expects to pay his
debts at the rate of 80 cents to the dollar
charging the merchant here one per cent for
exchange on New York"
He always expects the house he deals with
to furnish him with all the new packing boxes
he needs free of charge.
He always expects, as he is "liberal buy
er, that either a new coat or dress pattern,
pair OF boots, a hat or pen knife, will be pre-
scented TO him at least once year.
He always expects to be behind time in the
payment of his bills at least twenty or thirty
days, and then be offended if interest is
charged.
He always expects to get his goods "little
cheaper" than any other man, as he has al
ways been "great friend to the house"
He always thinks that the goods he wants
are very undesirable, are going out of fashion,
or are a little damaged, and therefore should
be sold to him at something off.
He always has faith in his own statements,
but don't believe anything that is said to him
by anybody else, unless it is demonstrated.
He always finds his goods Short on his
arrival home, and makes claim on at least ev.
cry other bill purchased. Whether or not he
lo. la,r
yard stick, or a big thumb, we cannot say.
He always forgets the injunction, "Mind
your own business" and is forever meddling
with the affairs of his neighbors.
lie always is troubled at the prosperity of
those around him, and unless he can be "a lit
tie ahead" of everybody, he pines and frets
continually.
He always will take advantage of "pecular
circumstances TO promote his own interests,
however damaging his course may be to 9th
ers.
He always thinks he is the chest man in
town." and therefore no other is entitled TO
distinguished considerations
He always finds so many other mean men in
his vicinity, that he is forever discouraged in
his noble efforts to elevate the standard OF
mercantile character"
He always forgets to enclose a postage
stamp when writing letter to friend, asking
information on matter of great Importance
to-himself.
He always "dodges" when you kindly aim
at him truth for his special welfare, knocing
that said truth was intended especially to hit
his neighbor
He is the very man, Mr.. --- (but we
won't mention his name), for whom we have
prepared this medicine, and he 'front.' take Bit
Of it--not he.

A gentleman from Boston happened to find him
self among little party Of ladies away down
east, last summer, and while in the enjoyment
Of some innocent social play he carelessly placed
his arm about the slender waist Of as pretty q
damsel as Maine can boast Of when she started
and exclaimed, "Be done, sir!-dOn't insult me !"
The gentleman instantly apologised for tho seem
ing rudeness, and assured the halfoiiended fair
one that he did not intend to insult her.
"No!" she replied archly. "Wel, il you
didn't, you may do 90 again"
A person on whom the Temperance rciorma-

"Yes," replied the merchant, Eve have some

most valuable laws, and altering, fundamentally,
the powers Of our governments:
For suspending our own legislatures, and de-
claring themselves invested with power to legis-
late for US in all cases whatever.
He has addicted government here, by declar-
ing US out Of his protection, and waging war
against us.
lie has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts,
burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives Of our
people,
lie is, at this time, transporting large armies
Of foreign mercenaries to complete the works Of
death, desolation and tyranny, already begun,
with circumstances Of cruelty and peridy
scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages,
and totally unworthy the head Of civilized ma
tion.
He has constrained our iellow-citiZens, taken
captive on the high seas, to bear arms against
their country, to become the executioners Of
their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves
by their hands
He has excited domestic instructions amongst
Us, and has endcavored to bring on the inhabi-
tants of our frontiers the merciless Indian saw
ages, whose known rule Of warfare is an undis-
tinguished destruction Of all ages, sexes, and
conditions
In every stage Of these expressions, we have
pettioned for redress in the most humble terms +;
our repeated petitions have been answered only
by repeated injury. A prince, whose character
| Is thus marked by every act which may define
q tyrant Is unfit to be the ruler Of free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our
British brethren. We have warned them, from
time to time, Of attempts made by their legisla-
ture to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over
us. We have reminded them Of the circum-
stances Of our immigration and settlement here.
We have appealed to their native justice and
magnanimity, and we have conjured them, by
the ties Of our common kindred, to disavow these
usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt
our connections and correspondence. They, too,
have been deaf to the voice Of justice and con-
sanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in
the necessity which denounces our separation,
and hold them, as we hold the rest Of mankind,
enemies in war; in peace, friends.
We, therefore, the representatives Of the United
States Of America in General Congress assem-
bled, appealing to the Supreme Judge Of the
World for the rectitude Of our intentions, do,
in the name, and by the authority Of the good
people Of these colonies, sOlemnly publish and
declare, That these United Colonies are, and of
right ought to be, Free and Independent States !;
that they are absolved from all allegiance to the
| British crown, and that all political cOnnexion
between them and the State Of Great Britain is,
and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that, as
Free and Independent States, they have full
power to levy war, conclude peace, contract ALI
ances, establish commerce, and to do all other
acts and things which Independent States may Of
right do. And for the support Of this declara-
ton, with firm reliance on the protection Of
Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each
other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred
honor.

Repentance.

"Tell me what's love-" said youth one day,
To dropping age, who crossed his way;
"lt is a sunny hour Of play,
For which repentance dear doth pay
Repentancel Repentance!
And this 10 love, as wise men say"
"Tell me what's love-" said youth once more,
Fearful, yet fond Of ages lore;
Soft as passing summers wind,
WOuldst know the blight Il leaves behind
Repentance! Repentaneei
And this 10 love, when love Is DER.
"Tell me what's love-" said youth again,
Trusting the bliss, but not the pain;
"sWeet as q May tree scents the air,
Mark ye what bitter fruit twill bear!
Repentancel Repentance
This, this Is loVei sweet youth, beware"
Just then young Love himself came by,
And cast on Youth a smiling eye;
Who could resist that ganee's ray?
In vain did age his warning pay.
Repentance Repentaneel
Youth, laughing, went with Love away.

Ohio Black Laws Unconstitutional
The Court of Cuyhoga county, Ohio,
through Judge Foote, has declared the
" Black Laws" of that State unconsti-
tutional. At the last election, the
Cleveland Herald states, citizen of
Cleveland, having one-fourth negro
blood in his veins, was debarred from
voting. Action was brought against
the Judges of Election. They plead
in defense that having negro blood in
his veins he was prohibited from voting
by the Constitution.
This act, known as the "black law
Judge Foote decided to be unconstitu-
tional. The Court held that under the
old Constitution of Ohio. all persons
having more than half white blood,
were declared to be legally white.
The new Constitution merely mention
ed "white persons" without defining
what constituted white person, con-
sequently the definition of white per-
son contained in the old Constitution
remained in force, and any law declar-
ing person having more than half
white blood to be negro, must OF
necessity be unconstitutional.

Dow Rescued.

DIR. John boy, lately convicted of
negro stealing, in ST. Joseph, Mo- was
rescued on Sunday morning, the oath
ult., during violent storm, by party
of eight men, and taken safely across
the river into Kansas. 1t will be re-
collected that DR.. boy was Kidnapped
from Kansas by gang of border ruff
fans, on the charge Of stealing slave
from Missouri, taken t. St. J Jsoph,
tried by jury of shareholders, con
victed on the testimony of peijured
witnesses, and sentenced to the State
prison for FIVE years, by q pro-slavery
Judge, on q second trial. 1t was
proved that he was in Kansas when
the slave was alleged to have been
kidnapped, where he was in the habit
of going on his masters pass and
that the Doctor had nothing what
ever to do with the act. But this all
went for nothing. He was known to
be an active Free State man, and it
was necessary to punish him. lie was
therefore convicted and sentenced in
the face of the most overwhelming tes-
timony, that he was innocent of the
charge. He was awaiting. in the St.
Joseph Jail until a decision could be
had upon a motion for q new trial,
when he was rescued, and the act will
be cordially approved by every honest
man in the country. M la

Tie Campaign in Iowa.

We have the most cheering intelli-
gence from our political friends in Iowa.
The campaign has opened under the
most favorable auspices, end there is
every reason to believe that the Repub-
lican ticket will be elected by a larger
majority than has ever before been
given in that State. The Chicago
Press d Tribune says, not only are old
Republicans coming up to the work
with their wonted zeal and determine
ton, but we hear of important acces-
.sions to the Republican ranks in every
county from which we have adyices.
Among the most important of these are
Col. Scholte and Major E. w. Eastman.
Both of these gentlemen have long
been recognized as among tina ablest
and most influential leaders of the
Democracy in that State. They have
been driven from the party by its in
tensely pro-slavery character, and are
now doing good service for Republi
canism. Col. Scholte is at the head o.
q campaign paper and Major Eastman
has taken the stump. Many of the
old political associates of these gentle
men have resolved to take sides with
them in their stand for Republicanism
The Democracy of Iowa are disheart
ened and denoralized- The homes
portion of them are deserving the rot
ten organizations by platoons-the re
mainder admit that their defeat is in
evitable, and nothing but the hope o
reward from the Federal Administra
ton prevents them from abandoning
the ontest.
