 II will go to her." cried the indignant lover of Alicia, ,-"I will pull the false curls from her painted fece, and show them to be my Alicia's."
 "No, no," cried the young girl, in ter TOT" she will take you from me, you are so handsome, so noble! She will tell you lies about me,--stay away. It does not matter much-my curls will grow again, but could not find another Baptiste.' l Girls should never praise their lovers the heads of most men are weak on the score of personal attractions. lnhame their vanity, and" pop goes the weasel" Baptiste elevated his head He was tall and handsome enough for any countess, but he "pooh, poohed," looked indignant and presented himselfbefore the countess, who, really, now that she had Alicia's curls on her head, looked so lovely that Baptiste was quite charmed.
 "Well. young man" said the countess, "what do you want of me?'
 "I-I wished to behold your ladyship," stammered Baptiste.
 "And what do you think of me ?" asked the lady, with gracious smiles.
 "I-I think your ladyship is very beau- tiful," said Baptiste
 "And how would you like me for a wife ?" asked the audacous countess, show ing very white set of false teeth.
 "I-I-"
 "Wnh fortune of million francs" added the lady, in her most bewilching manner.
 Alas poor Bap,ste was not proof against temptation. The countess was fifty, he was twenty ty-fve-something of disparity to be sure in their ages--but he went down on his knees at the mention of the francs,
 Poor Ahcia-haH frantic, she heard that Baptiste was going to marry the countess. Six different times she attempted suicide, but her parents watched her with care, and to-day she IS a andmother. Much better than being food for fshes-or what fishes are baited with.
 All this came from reading some where that two hundred thousand pounds welght of womens hair is annually sold in France, and the price paid for it is six cents an ounce. Many an Alicia gets new gown from her head. 1 suspect, and many coun- tess reaps her gllterIng locks from the tenn ples of the common. born peasantry, or, as she would style them in her own exclusive elegance, the canallie.

They cast rocks upon him the lions roared at hm-the "eagle quivered his tail at him in proud defiance" "-Old Buck shock hls horns at him the nigger shook his wool and laughed at him, because the Rail Mauer' received more votes from the Suckers than he did And one hun dred and fitty-two and half brethren stood by and saw him crushed out, and bewailed their empty pockets, and the loss of the good things promised them. ".4nd derom men carried Stephen to his burial and made great Lamentation over him" And now ln conclusion, my dear Dou- glas brethren, know it is hard for us to believe that Stephen is snuffed out. We cannot realize it. But it is even so. We shall never behold his coat tail dragging on the ground any more. Its beautiful folds have been wrapped around his wounded seat of honor and he has been lain at rest. The irrepressble conflict" has dealt him smasher on the gob, and his voice will no longer charm us with the beautiful song of popular sovereignty. Therefore cease your bubbering for Ste- Pieu' AHcic To yCl hoPC oi oaiNatioH toi us. There is plank still left for us poor shipwrecked sinners to cling to. Our brethren North and South already stand upon it. Though the heathen have de- nounced it as a relic of barbarism, yet our elders in the great council of the nation says it is a good one. We will all go to that land of blessed saints in Utah, where 1t is fenced in. and shout for old Mrs. Pol ly Gamy. There reposing on her bosom, we will bury all our sorrow for the immac- ulate Stephen, who was so shamefully martyred at Charleston. Let him rot in peace.
 Farewell, then, to poor old Stephen,
 The famous Charleston martyr;
 For he lied so, we couldn't believe him,
 And we won't go tumbling arter.
 Thus, you see. l have quoted the Dutch poet, and we will close with the words of the text, And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentaton over him." Amen.

From the La Salle Press. Short Sermon to Douglas Worshippers
BY wHANG DOODLE.

And devout men carried Stephen to his bu- rial and made great lamentation over him. Acts viii, 3.
 My DEAR DoUGLAs BRETHREN l in- tend to talk to you at thls time about the folly and sinfulness of worshipping man The heathen bow down to images of wood and stone and some worship unclean beasts, while some bow in humble adora- ton even 10 kiss great toe. But we of this generation have been guilty of the meanest idolatry of all in worshlpplng a little lump of corrupt flesh and blood called Stephen, now defunct.
 A few weeks ago, when we ladened our vessels with rum and whisky for our brethren, who were sent as missionaries to the port of Charleston, in the foreign land of South Carolina, to preach the gos- pei of Dred Scott and Popular Sovereignty and gave them gold and silver wherewith to buy their bread and meat, our departed friend was full of promise, and high up- lifted as the god of Democracy, and all who would fall down and worship him should have their reward. But, alas our brethren have returned to us with nothing but his unseemly carcas. ".And deUout men carried Stephen 10 hiS burial and made great tonsentation over hims."
 And it came to pass, when our chief priests and elders were gathered together in convention at Charleston that many of the heathens of that region would not fall down and worship our golden calf. And we said unto them that they were wrong i; that the golden calf would grant them many induIgences; he would give them Bourbon whisky, apple jack and red eye, as beverages, and had promised nine hun dred and ninety thousand foreign missions, post-odices and custom-houses, and to take five hundred old fogles into his cabinet But all this would not avail. Nary bowel of compassion could be moved with them, and therefore our breth- ren returned unto us. ".4nd deUout men carried Stephen to has burial and made great iamentation over ham"
 And the disciples of Stephen spake unto them saying, that they did not care whether niggers were voted for upside down or doWnslde up-lt made no dllIer- ence But they were rebellIous and de- cared we must get the nigger out ot the fence. and protect him m the territories, where there are no fences; but we couldn't do it. We referred them to Freeport, where Stephen spake of ' unfriendly leg' islauon," but they didn't care red for the police magistrate of the territories, but would pasture their nlggers there on Un- cle Sans farm They wouldn't let us put fence of untriendIy Legislation round them; and because we wouldn't give the triggers pasture they waxed with wrath, and Stephen gave up the ghost. find deuom men carried Nephen 10 hts burial and made great iamentafion ouer him."
 In valn our brethren promised to erect a false -botlomed platform to delude the heathen with tricks of legerdeman. But they needed not our entreatles. Oh, the " irrepressble contliclr' IL squeezed our poor lule Stephen 50 hard, that gout nor influenza need trouble him 10 more.

 "A good man, a pure and incorruptibie statesman" will discharge the duties Of his office in accordance with the Constitu- ton and the Laws, whatever may be his opinions as to abstract questions. We do not believe MT. Everett hates slavery in the sense above represented.

A Quaint French Story.
BY MRS. ADA PRESCOTT.

I was just thinking over quaint little French story. It is very French. Would you wish it chronicled2 If so, give it to you with the greatest pleasure.
 A beautiful girl lived in provincial town. Her parents were neither poor nor wealthy, but merely humble citizens, liv- ing well, in moderate circumstances. In an old chateau, in the same town, resided a dilapidated countess. She regretted her age, and wished on ly to preserve the ap- pearance of youth. She had been very handsome, and that was all for which she had been distinguished, for her nature was frivolous and cruel. One day il was her lot to find gray locks amid her beautiful curls. Alas time had placed his shrivell- ed finger there. The countess was in des. pair. What to do she knew not, There were no hair dyes la her day. Art had replaced the dellcate tinting of her cheek, smoothed out wrinkles, preserved the ala baster wilderness, the cearness. the round ness, but her hair which was of rare col or could not be rejuvenated.
 Riding in her carriage one day, after she had in vain hunted among the shops of Paris for some bandeaux of hair the color of her own, she saw Alicia Meneude sit- ting at the window of her fathers cottage. The young girl as she read, leaned her head in her hand The locks that fell in golden uxuriance were just the color of her own. With an exclamation of delight, the countess stopped moment to contem- plate. Alicia looked up, blushed and with drew into the window. A footman enter ed and requested her to come next day to the chateau. She obeyed, but to her in- dignation, the countess wished for her beau tiful hair-her dearly -przed, golden curls, Almost indignantly she refused, notwlth- standing the fading beauty offered her large sums of money for the heaven-tlnted tres ses.
 We'll, one day the pretty Alicia was miss ing. Her parents were distracted, but while they searched. towards evening Alicia was driven home agitated, in tears, and worse than all, shorn of her golden lresses. She had been carried of, she said, while walk ing along the road, by two ill-looking men, who sat her down at a barber's shop and threatened death if she resisted. So, frigh- tened and submissive, she had parted with all her beautiful hair. The indignant par ents threatened and sued, but as nothing could be proved they could ge! no satisfac'

A BOLD Boy TRuMPhTER.-A letter

A BOLD Boy TRuMffrER.-A letter from Madrid says:
 In the trumphal entrance of the troops here, the heroes of the day (with the ex cepton of Gen Prim. who was so greeted that he had to deliver halfa dozen speech es as he went through the streets) were a trumpeter and dog. Their glory abscur- ed that of all the army, and they obtained an ovation which will disturb the repose of Espartero at Logrono The trumpeter belongs to the Bourbon regiment he IS only fourteen years, and is of short stature When in Africa, he happened, one day, whilst in the advanced post with his com pany, to be excessively hungry, and he could not get any food At last he per- ceived number of oak trees, and said to himself, " where there are oak trees, there are acrons, and acorns at pinch can be eaten" He accordingly slipped away, and passing unobserved by the sentinels, climbed up the tree and began eating He was suddenly interrupted by strange noise, and to his dlsmay he perceived that the tree was surrounded by ferocious look ing Moors. Flight was impossible, and resistance out of the question: but bright idea struck him, he seized his trumpet and sounded the charge. The Moors, think ing that they had fallen into an ambush; took to flight. This exploit of the trum- peter excited great admiration at the time, and on the entrance of the troops the crowds not only greeted him with enthu- sasm, but he was borne in triumph on mems shoulders, and crowned with laurel. From time to time, at the request of the people, he sounded the charge which had struck terror into the breast of the Moors

 Stsnzas on Progression. ALL HUMAN DEEDS ARE BUT ERRORS.

ALL ii U M AN DEEDS AhE 5U ! E4RRORS All human deeds are but errors,
 As endless changes constant prove; Things to-day deemed best of any,
 Tomorrow our progress remove. What one age doth wisely think best
 The next succeeding casts aside, For some better way discovered,
 By which life's wants may be supplied. From the dawning of first knowledge,
 Through every stage which marks it's way, Traces of this truth is written Too plain for any to gainsay. Mind still is busy in exploring
 Mysterious truths yet unknown; Truths valuable, full of beauty,
 Which gladly yet the world will own. Scarce rule we now can thing of
 Which guided us in former days; In mechanics, laws, and morals,
 Adopt we in our present ways. What in mind is deemed perfection
 Is only relatively SO; What'ere it be of invention,
 Of like name used for it before. Some fault presently discovered,
 Which for while performed its part, Is discarded for better
 By science schemed, and made by art. Thus step by step we are moving,
 And day by day new wisdom learn In the Futures paths before us
 Observed m many ways to turn. Upward, onward is our motto,
 Wisely given at Gods command, Press we must forever forward,
 Pause we never can nor stand. In the ratio of our errors,
 Will we good or bad endure- In the ratio of our knowledge
 Happiness will we here secure. Let us then think well and wisely On what we speak and what we do, the WEAK MANY Instructed are by the STRONG FEW. .-r.~a All things have small beginning, And by degrees assume their size; This valued truth by nature taught In ev'ry thing we realize. In occult life there is scale Too small for microscopic eye, Of things perhaps born with two breaths, The first too live, second to die. A simple atom tossed in space By Gods omniscient hand above, -l May first have formed our pondrous earth, Attracting still as it doth move. Upward onward lever forward From the beginning to the end, Where unerring Wssdom reigneth, Heed well we must and to attend. Always trying, always striving, To wiser grow and better live, Is mans whole task and chief glory, Which God in goodness to him give.

ALL THE SERMONS OF THE WORLD IN TWENTY LINEs.-The following abridge- ment contains the pth and marrow, sum and substance, of sermon which occupied an hour in delivery, and tell us all that any parson can tell us-which, by the way, IS just nothing at all--about that " bourne from whence no traveller returns :"
 C Man is born to trouble" The subject, my hearers, IS naturally divisible into four heads:
 l. Mans entrance into the world: ?. His progress through the world 3 His exit from the world. And 4. Practical reflection from what may be said
 First, then:
 l. Mans ingress in life is naked and bare:
 3 His progress through life is trouble and care
 3. His egress from it, none can tell where;
 4. But doing we'll here we will be well there.
 Now. on this subject, brethren dear, l could not tell more by preaching a year.
