A DisuniOn Scheme that Failed.
The Yicksburg Whiq is responsible for

y
the following:
When we hear such threats of disunion
made by those redoubtable politicians who
appear to breakfast, dine and sup upon
gunpowder, round shot and chain lightning
it reminds us of conversation between
Gov. Wise and one of our citizens, not
long since, in the capitol at Richmond
The Mississippian (the man, not the
newspaper,) was anxious to know of the
Governor if he did not think the Union
could and would be dissolved, in the event
of the election of Black Republican. The
Governor was careful not to express any
opinion, but with twinkle of his eye, and
an emphasis peculiar TO himself, remarked
that "he had had some experience in such
matters on a former occasion. At one
time in 1856, it was confidently believed
in Virginia, that Fremont would be elected
President, and crowds of fire-eaters, who
swore that death was preferable to sub
mission. and that something mast be done,
flocked around him to find out his opinion
as TO what should be done in such terri
BILE crisis. "Resist by all MEANS" said the
Governor, ''never think of tame submis-
sion to such an outrage"
"But how" said one, "by calling a State
Convention
"By convening the Legislature? said
another.
"By convention of the Southern States 2"
said third.
"Oh, no?" said the Governor, "none of
these means-tbey are all too slow-too
fuctualing and uncertain"
"How ther," cried the excited and reso-
lutte assemblage, "what shall be done9"
"Why," said the Governor, tear up the
railroad, and take possession of the Nation
al Armory-appropriate all the public pro-
perty-take possession of the Government
stores at Norfolk, while l march fifty thou
sand men to the Capitol, under yoar lead,
and resist the Inauguration by force, and
take possession of all the public property.
1t is true that within few days there will
be force sufficient in Washington 10 hang
every one of us, but d-n a man who
has not patriotism enough to die for his
country. Come, gentlemen, what say
you?" and as he shifted his quid to the
other check, scornful smile crept over the
Governors pale face.
They turned as white as sheet, and,
like the crowd that accused the woman
taken in adultery, they commenced going
out until not one was left. sand I'll be
d-dw said the Governor, eff this is not
the last have ever heard said about dis
union in Virginia.

Multiplication Of Deputy Mar

The Federal office holders in Cleveland
had to establish psper expressly to sdvo-
cate Lecompton, oppose Popular Sossf-
e'gnty, and abuse Douglas, in order to re-
tam their offices for the short balance of
Mr.. Buebanan's term. They have fcund
1t rather an expensive business To- Sustain
such paper out Of their own salaries. SO
they have resorted TO black mailing subal-
terms 10 raise the wind. The clerks IN the
Post Office have been several times hesyi
ly assessed; the Route Agents have had
to contribute money and services, and the
country Post Masters have been cireulas-
lied and dragooned in to the support Of a
paper they secretly loathed.
But the boldest trick played by these
Lecompton officials is that of the Marshal,
Mat johnson, in secretly commissioning
sore half dozen persons in each cosnty
as deputy Marshals, each appointed un-
known 10 the other and each expecting, il
not privately assured, that they sbsil faks
the census of their respective counties, pro-
uided each gets up large list of su6seri-
bers for said Lecompton Anti- Douglas pa

in Sir "Mat." 1t is a species of political
hnanciary equal to his Bank Of Wooster
operations, and his Commercial Bank bus.
tification. 1t will "blow up about as
soon, and about as bad, sending him kiting
out of office, out of the party, and out Of
the country. When these half dozen ex-
pectants IN each county find that they
have been badly sold, that Mr.. johnson
will probably have nothing to do with H.

eretly issued, are like old burst up Bank

A TALL CoLLEcToR.-A gentleman
from New York, who had been in Boston
for the purpose of collecting some money
due him in that city was about returning,
when be found one bill of hundred dol
lars had been overlooked. His landlord
who knew the debtor, thought it doubt
fui case, but added if at all, a tall raw
boned Yankee, then dunAiag lodger in
another part of the hall, would Hwofry IL
out" of the same. Calling him up, there
fore, he introduced him to the creditor, who
showed him the account.
"Wal, SQUIRE" said he, @taint much
use o'trying, 1 know that eritter. You
might as well try to squeeze it ont Of q
Bunker Hill monument as to elect debt
out of him. But anyhow, Squire, wbatIl
you give s'posin I try"
"Well, sir the bill is one hundred dollars.
I'll give you half if you will collect"
"Greed," replied the collector, "there's
no harm tryin,' any way"
Some weeks after the creditor chanced
to be in Boston, and walking up fremont
street encountered his enterprising friend.
'.Look o'here," said he, esquire, had
considerable luck with that bill o'yourn.-
You see L stuck to him like dog to
root but for the first week or so twasn't no
use, not bit. Ifhe wss at home, be was
short, if he wasn't to home could get no
satisfaction. BY the bye, says I. So /
sat down on the door step, and sat ali day
and part of the evening, and / began early
next day; but about ten o'clock he gin in.'
He paid me NY half and gin him the
note."

THE CROP OF AC0RNs.
By MRS. sIeouRSEr-

There came man in days of old,
To hire piece of land for gold.
And urged his suit in accents meek,
Zone crop alone is all seek;
Tha. harvest DER my claim III yield,
And to its lord resign the field"
The owner some misgivings felt,
And coIdly with the stranger dealt,
But found his last objection fail.
And boneyed eloquenee prevail.
So took the proffered price in hand,
And for one crop leased out his land.
The willy tenant sneered with pride.
And sow'd the spot with acorns wide;
At first. like tiny shoots they grew,
Then broad and wide their branches threw.
But long before those oaks sublime.
Aspiring reached their forest prime.
The cheated landlord mouldering lay,
Forgotten with his kindred clay.
Oh We, whose years unfolding fair,
Are fresh with youth, and free from care;
Should Vice or Incidence desire,
The garden of your soul to hiree,
No parley hold. reject their suit.
Nor let oae seed the soil polute.
My child their first approach beware,
With firmness break the insiduous snare,
Lest as the acorns grew and throye.
Into a sun-excluding grove.
Thy sins, dark, o'ershadowing tree,
Shut out the light of Heaven from thee.

HThe indifference and eve

RThe indifference and even contempt,
with which the marriage tie is too often
treated in the United States, is producing
its natural fruit. The manner in which it
is protected in England furnishes an exan-
pie, in soma respects, which We might sd-
vantageously follow-especially As il re-
lates to the rites Of wbst is absurdly cali
ed the solemnization of marriage, By our
petty magistrates, without the possibility
of their knowing whether the parties are
not already guilty Of bigsmy. Our Popu-
lar journals, which are fond OF gathering
up all the details of Grim. con-, divorce and
elopemen. bear sad testimony TO the lit
tie respect paid to conjugal obligatioos.-

LIFE's THREE Mosr THRILLING KissEs.
Herr Hacklander, the Stuttgart anthor,
says life has three kisses that are crises /:
"The first is that which the mother presses
on the new-b born infants head; tho second,
that which the newly welded bride be-
stows on your lips, the third, that with
which love or friendship closes your eyes,
when your career on earth is ended"

trate events in the land of Judea by the letters Of
a Jewish maiden. In this young prince Of Phe
ncis is supposed to write from Egypt. The con
dition OF the children of Israel and the wonders
wrought by Moses, form the staple Of the work
aud as much of Egyptian history and description
is introduced as necessary TO complete the pie
ture, and give it fullness aud unity. Mr.. Ingra
ham has diligently consulted all accessible au hor-
tiles upon the antiquities and customs Of Egypt
and the volume is the result of long and patient
study Many difficulties attend undertaking
qures that the prafdce and appendix should be

to promote knowledge OF the Bible by leading
readers to compare verify and search for
themselves. The material for the volumes il is
proper to say, Is drawn from other sources and
the Imagination of the writer is employed 10 fill
up from brief DATA continuous narrative. 1t IS
a Phenician and contemporary view OF the scenes
