BA Sir Walter Scott he's truly re.
marked, that to teach a boy to read,

his reach, is like encouraging his appe-

except unwholesome aud poisonous food
which, depend upon it, he will rather
eat than starve.

Who Got out First!

The editor of the Chattanooga Advertiser says
that few days since be fell in upon q group Of
Democrats who had seen Sam, " and found them in
an saimsted discussion upon the question of ''who
got out yfrstP They each and sill wanted the honor
of having been first to receive withdrawal ticket.
Among the number was Know Nothing, and to rid
his reputation from the odium attaching to the or
der, he came cut boldly and declared that Soc
KnOw-NOthingism to which he first subscribed was
that which first appeared and not the real genuine
KnoW-Notbingsm of later day. The poor fellow
seemed 10 lake consolation in his belief and didn't
ct ell like the name of being called Know Moth
ing. We admire his taste and could only smile at
ths ingenuity displayed in getting around an ugly
question. How true are the words of the old guard
Democrats who bowed not the knee to this political
Bssl, who warned the people against the Wiles of
this order, and foretold them of the runous dis
count at which Know Nothing stock would sell in
future markets. We rather think Democrats will be
little more careful how they for the future sf-
ter strange isms under whatever gRrb form, shape,
or name they may present themselves, and then we
shall hear of no more angry discussions as to who
came out first.
