I Didn't Think.

Il didn't think said little boy to his
mother, as she reproved him for using bad
word, for which she had corrected him be-
fore. Hundreds oi little boys and girls,
perhaps, have said the same thing, " / did
not think But il is no trife to do this
without thinking ; it Is evidence Of need
lessness, especially when children repeat the
acts for which thef have been rebuked.--
Just think of it your father and mother
forbids you to do certain act, and yet
you do it without thinkingl So little re-
gard for your parents counsel, that you
even forget their Ieproofs.

A ONE-HoRsE NOVEL Violetta started

eyes wildly upon the speaker for to her
there seemed something familiar in those
low, rich tones. Their eyes met his BEAM

And the beautiful girl sank, from excess
of joy, upon his noble heart throbbing
with the pure holy, delicious love of other
days. Allendorf bent tenderly over her,
and bathed her pure white temples with
the gushing tears ofdeep, though subdued
Joy. While doing this, Van Snort was
seen approaching the lovers with a fail.
Allendorf saw the aged patriarch, and just
as he was turning the corner Of the red

Violetta, driven to distraction, threw her
J self upon the grass, and for long, long
: hour, was deaf to every consolation.

The following very sensible remarks
upon the course Of the Dem rat party
- Il------l 10 pcrecn at the Tapi
to! holding an important position. We
clip the same from the Iowa Citizen.
ElDoRA, Jan. l., $50.
DEAR SIR: X !; i X The time was

of the Democratic party, but that time
is past. do not wish for the success
Of that party with the doctrines now ful.
minated from headquarters. | was n
Dem ocrat, rot for the hopeof fee or re.
ward, but because | honestly believed
the doctrines which ! supported, were
for the best interest of the country.
The great questions Of Banks, lnde
pendent Treasury. and Tarif, are allset
tied. It is now ad United that the tariff
must be increased to create a revenue,
and it IS also admitted that such a tariff
will give all tho protection desired. But
one question is left that is the Slavery
question. On that the great Democrat
ic party has been shipwrccked and s, uin
cd and that, too, by the new fan sicd
theories Of James Buchanan. lie says
that all American citizens have RI ght
to take slav.s into our Territories, and
there be protected By the Constitution ct
h- United States, as long as the Terrific
ri j governmcn Mt remains. The substance
Of this is, that slavery exists in nature,
and is guarded BY the Nation Con,titu-
ton. This is NOT the entertainment to
which we were invited.
The great Democratic doctrine Of by.
gone days, has ever been, that slavery
does not exist in nature, but il must be
established by law. Neither does the
Constitution establish it vr recognize it
Take notice. l say il does no, recognise
It, and of course it cannot project it,
What | mean is, that it is not Nation
al institution. And it must be so be
fore it can be protected by the Constltu
ton in Territory where it has not been
established by law. This nationality Of
slavery il repud:ated by the cohstitu-
ton. Art. 4, SEQ. 2 says, "No person
held 10 service or labor IL one State,
not in the United States, under the
laUs thereof cnot under the laws Of
Congress- escaping iato another, not
carried therc by the owner shall. in
consequence Of any law Or regulation
therein, be discharged from suca service

BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcT-When the
summer Of youth is slowly wasting away
iato nightfall of Of age, and the shadows
Of past y.ars grow deeper and deeper, as
il life were on its close, it is pleasant to
look back throug the vista Of time upon
the sorrows and the felicities Of earlier
years. If we have home to shelter and
hearts to rejoice with us, and friends
have been gathercred together by our
f:resides, then the rough places of our
wayfarins will have been worn and
slnoothed away in the twilight Of life,
while the sunny spots we have passed
through will grow brighter and more
beautiful. Happy indeed are those whose
intercourse with the world has not
changed the tone Of the hoier feeling,
or broken those musical chords Of the
heart, whose vibrations are 50 melodious
50 touching in the evening Of age.

Governor, in the course of the debate, was
bitterly denounced by his opponents, and

PACKER has made an able Chief Magistrate
but he differed from the President on L.
compton, hence the action of the convention,
which was mostly composed Of Office holders.
We notice that FoRsEY's Press, of the

State Convention to "vindicate principles Of
the party outraged and insultcd by the Con.
