The Virginia Inder says that Roger A.
Pryor never said, as has been alleged, that
be would drive dagger to the heart of
any Black Republican rather than permit
him to be inaugurated President of the
United States. The Ider says.
The remark which Mr.. P. did make on
one occaaion, and which was doubtless led
to the misrepresentation to which we refer.
was something to the effect that he would
not hesitate to play the Brutus to any Ca-
sar, at the head of the Federal Govern
meut, who might attempt to coerce sece-
ding State, at the point of the bayonet, or
to hang the citizens thereof as rebels and
traitors.

SENATOR WADE.-The correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Gazette telegraphs that
Republicans begin to look to Ben Wade
as their champion, and when be speaks he
will take the bull by the horns. He holds
that the "nigger" is pretext for secession,
and the desire for arristocratic government
South the cause.

OUT IN THE COLD.
BY JOHN 8. ADAMS.


With blue cold hands and stoekingless feet.
Wandered child in the cheerless street,
Children were many. who, housed and fed,
Lovingly nestled, dreaming in bed.
Caroled their joy in a land of bliss
Without thought or care of this.
They were warm in humanity's fold,
But this little child was out in the cold
Out in the cold.
Bleak blew thewind through the cheerless street,
Dashing along the merciless sleet.
All furred and shawled, man, woman and child,
Hurried along. for the storm grew wild,
They could not bear the icicle blast
Winter so rude on their pathway cast.
Alas, none pitied-no one consoled
This little wanderer out in the cold
Out in the cold.
She had no father-she, no mother;
Sister none, and never brother.
They had passed on to star-worlds above,
She remained here with nothing but love.
4NOtulHR Dut iOfC an! uicH oAu Ao1 hEO"
What wealth of joy that child could bestow.
So they went by and worshipped their gold.
Leaving the little one out in the cold
Out in the cold.
Wandered she on till the shades of night
Yelled her shivering form from sight,
Then with her cold hands over her breast
She prayed to her Father in Heaven for rest.
When hours had fed, meath the worlds dark
frown,
Hungered and chilled she laid herself down
Lay down TO rest. while the wealth rolled
In carriages passed her out in the cold
Out in the cold.
Out in the cold lol an angel form
Brought her white robes that were rich and warm
Out in the cold, on the sleeping child,
The santed face of mother smiled.
A sister pressed on her brow kiss.
Led her mid scenes of heavenly bliss;
And angels gathered into their fold
That night, the little one out of the cold
Out of the cold.

SECESSION BoNNET.-The Charleston
Mercury gives the following description Of
a bonnet worn by South Carolina lady
"The bonnet is composed of white and
black Georgia cotton, covered with net
work of black cotton, the streamers orna-
mented with Palmetto trees and Lone Star,
embroidered in gold thread, while the
feathers are formed of white and black
worsted." .

~ 1u0 I1ON. JAMES dUTHRlE, Vi LOU
isville, made hit in his Union speech in
that city few nights ago, nearly equal to
that made by Alexander H. Stephens, when
be replied to remark that our Govern
ment was failure-;hat some of our pub
lie men had failed in their in their aspira-
tions. Mr.. Guthrie said:
We naturally take sides with those whose
interests are identical with our own, but
we will not fight the battles of South Car
olina while she is safe at home in bed
[ [Cheers.
This is remark that should be ponder
ed by all border State secessionsts who
have anything tc loose. Mr.. Guthrie is
man of "sound horse sense" as they say
in some localities when they mean an extra
strong article of common sense. He was
one Of the prominent candidates for the
Presidential nomination in the Charleston
Convention, and might have been nomina-
ted, if it had not been for the Douglas des-
peradoes on one side and the cotton State
illusiouists per Sc, on the other. The Dou-
glas delegates were for Douglas or nobody ;
and the secessionists pressed their mad
missable claims to the point of igniting
ali the explosive elements. Mr.. Guthrie
would have been the strongest man the
Convention could have been nominated.
But if there had been harmony on the
platform question. and the Douglas break
bone fever had not been so prevalent, Mr..
Guthrie would have had one failing, as
would have appeared to the hordes of hun
CRY politicians of the Convention-his per-
sonal honesty. They knew they could not
use him in the siege of the Treasury, which
they proposed to engineer.

The California papers give an account
of festival which the Chinese held few
Sundays since at Lone Mountain Cemetery,
where their deceased relatives and friends
are temporarily buried. The principle Chi
nese placed food and wine before the vault,
and strewed some on the ground, accom-
panying the act by prayers aud signs OF
grief. A Hindoo worshipper was pres
ent, also, and paid his devotions to the sun.

The LYcEUM.-It is a mathematical
axiom that Large bodies move slowly,
and smaller ones with greater velocity"
But to the latter part of the proposition
there seem to be many exceptions, and,
perhaps, among these might properly be
placed the Grand Haven Lyceum. AT
the first and second meetings barely
enough were present TO re-crganizc the
society, and after the officers were chosen
scarcely private individual was in at
tendance. But al length the wheels seem
10 be moving, and it is hoped that every
citizen in the place, interested in the well
fare Of the youth will turn out and make
the weekly lyceum an interesting and
profitable institution.
Al the last meeting q proposition was
made to merge tho lyceum into legisla-
tive body and conduct the exercises in the
same manner as that pursued by the State
Legislature, dispensing with the Senate.
This proposition evidently met with uni
versal acceptance, and a committee Of
three, Messrs. PARKS, WHITE and DuN-
CAN, was appointed to draft constitution
and plan of action, and TO submit the
same at the next meeting, on Monday
evening. The above plan, if put into op'
Grafton, can not fail to interest, and nj the
same time profit, every attendant. Please
turn out, ministers, doctors, patients, ono
and all, and help along good cause.

Christmas Entertainment.

1t is announced that the teachers and
pupils connected with the Union School
of our village intend to give their friends
an intellectual entertainment on Christ
mas evening, tuesday, at the Court
House. The exercises are to consist OF
declamations, dialogues, tableaus, themes,
&C., accompanied with singing on the
part OF the pupils, at appropriate inter
walls. The choirs of the Presbyterian
and Congregational Churches are also en-
gagged TO unite in singing several appro-
pirate anthems on the occasion. Seats,
we understand, will be free TO all, provid-
cd they arc in Time 10 get them.
Now, we have, in days gone by, at
tended several intellectual entertainments,
given by the pupils of the Union School,
and know they arc capable of doing the
thing up right, honorably 10 themselves
and pleasurably to their audience, and we
have not the least doubt that the exer-
cises on this occasion, under the superin-
tendence Of our excellent teacher, Mr..
CUsnMAN, and his efficient corps of as
sistants, will be one of tho best entertain
mcnts ever afforded the public. Let all
that can, go, sec and listen 10 what their
children and youthful friends can do, in
the way of exhibiting life, men, manners
and things as they exist in this great
world Of ours.

i DEATu.-The grim messenger again
has visited our village and summoned
away our worthy citizen, Mr.. WILLIAM j.
BREASTED, TO that bourne fiom which nc
traveller returns. He died on Thursday
last, and his funeral, on Sunday, was at
tended by a very large concourse of citi-
zens-so many, indeed, that the Congre-
gational Church was unable to accom-
modate the assemblage, number being
obliged To return home, deprived Of the
privilege of publicly mingling their SYM
pathies with the widow and friends of the
departed. The funeral exercises were
conducted by Rev. j. ANDERSON, assisted
by the Rev. Mr. COOPER.
Mr.. BREASTED was an old resident of
our village, and was much endeared to
our citizens by his social and moral good
ness, and universal sympathy is extended
to his family in their affliction.
The burial was conducted by the MEM
bers of Ottawa Lodge, No. 46, of Odd
Fellows, of which he was worthy men,

FAMILY SEWING MACHINE


Now in use irrespective Of Price.
We ask attention to the following points Of
excellence in WEST & WILSON'S Machine.
LIST. Its simplicity, and the directness with
which the power is communicated TO the needles
This is great desderatum andin this we claim
decided superiority over all other machines.
%. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached to a small wheel driven by larger
one, instead of to the long arm of n lever, as in
most machines, with power upon the short one
The latter arrangement necessarily makes the
motion of the needle both circular and weak
while the former gives strength and directness
Sd. The great power and directness of tho
motion enables us to sew all fabrics, from gauze
to four thicknesses Of leather with almost equal
ease, and the Machine can be made to run,
without changing needle or thread, through all
the different thicknesses, from sheet of paper
TO heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping stitch or. breaking a thread. We
know Of no other family machine of equal ca
pacity.
4th. II uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
the original spools; unlike most machines, IL
will permit the seam TO be turned at right an.
giles at its highest speed; ithas much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing to pass freely the hcavi-
est garments, bed-quiits, &C.. and twill turn up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions are
regulated from above.
9th. The Machine will do n greater variety
of work than can be done by any other stitch.
II will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBR0ID-
Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rnpid-
ly every variety Of sewing that can BIO done by
similar stitchupon the highest priced machine
No machine will make and put upon garments
the finishing cord as neatly as ours,
Send for q circular eontoiningfull particulars,
prices, testimonials, illustrations of stitch, &c.
Machines warrantedand full directions given,
for using, without charge.
Orders for machines and circulars will receive
prompt attention, by addressing
