affirmative, whilst Senator Hammond in a re-
cent letter takes moro hopeful view Of tho re-.
suit and expresses his abiding faith in the suo
cess of Breckenridge and Lane. The resr,3t is
exceedingly doubtful, and there is nothing in
the progress of events to: afford certain basis
OF calculation. In the present strength Of
parties, the event seems TO depend entirely
upon the vote Of New York, and this will be de-
ternined by the fact ofa fusion ofthc opposition
strength in support Of single ticket. The
Bell aud Douglas men have already formed
union. and the accession of the Breckenridge
strength would give the Opposition an easy
victory. Of this union. there seems a. present
fair prospect. and the conservative journals
of the State are zealously urging the measure
as the only mode-df ssensing the defeat of Lin
colu. Without the sofesof New York he con.
not be ELECTED. The aisStion would be thrown
into the House of Representative wbsre eth
er one Of his opponents would be chosen, or
in cnse Of no election, the Presidency would
devolve upon the Vice President to DO chose en-
by the Senate, who would certainly be General
Lane.

the very triumph of Northern sectional party
involves orr exclusion from political prefe

inward, /. find nothing but doubt and igno-
rance. Where am I or what am 1 From
what cause do I derive my existences To
what condition shall I return? I am
confounded with questions. 1 begin to
fancy myself in a most deplorable condi-
ton, environed with darkness on every
side" Voltaire says: "The world abounds
with wonders, and also with victims. In
man is more wretchedness than in ali 9TH

judge oft? By bis own heart. He adds
"Man loves life, yet be knows he must die /;
spends bis existence in difusipg the mis-
cries he has sufered-cutting the throats
of his fellow-creatures to pay-cheating
and being cheated. The bulk of mankind" !"

Good Joke.

l have heard first-rate joke about John
Truman, late of Athens, Ga. He. was
stopping at tavern up the country and
used to loaf about the bar and come it ovel
other peoples liquor. Not glass could
be left moment but he would silly slip
up and drink its contents. One day a
stage driver came in and called for stiff
horn of brandy tody. John Immediately
shuffied up to the bar. The driver knew
his man and Immediately played possum
by leaving bis branday while he stepped
10 the door. The bait took. On return.
ing be saw the glass empty, and exclaimed,
with all the diabolical horror be conld eff
feet:
aBranday and opium enough to kill forty
men, who drank the pizenG"
"I,' stamered John, ready to yield up
the ghost with alright.
"You're dead man." Said the driver.
"What shall I do?" beseeched John who
thought himself "gone sucker"
@Down with pint of lamp oil or you
are dead man in three minutes" said the
wicked driver. And down went the lamp
oil, and up came the brandy and opium,
together with Johns breakfast. The joke
was told, and he has never drank other
peoples liquor since.

Solomon said, many centuries ago.
"Even q child is known by his doings,
whether his work be pure and whether it be
right.
Some people seem to think that chill

young creatures the signs Of what they are
likely to be for life.

that be will be spendthrift.
When I see boy boarding up his pen

When I see boys and girls often quar-
relling, l think it a sign that they will be
violent and hateful men and women.
When Isee q boy or girl always look

share good things with others, l think il a
sign the the child will grow up q very sell

When see little boy willing to taste
