A RICH STORY.

Along time ago, in the western part
of England there lived an aged couple
whose time had passed away since early
youth, in the every day round of farm
life. and who had never been known
to have the least ill-feeling towards
each other since the time when good
old Parson Heriot had united them 10
the holy bond of wedlock, twenty. five
years before. So well was the fact of
their conjngal happiness known that
they were spoken of far and near as the
happiest pair in England. Now the
Devil (excuse the abrupt mention ofhis
name) bad been trying for tweHy years
to create what is called "a fuss in the
family between these old companions.
But much to his modification, he had
net been able to induce the old gentle
man to grumble about breakfast being
late, or the old woman to give single
curtain lecture.
After repeated efforts the Devil be-
came discouraged and bad be not been
laperson Of great determination he would
doubtless have given up the work in
despair. One day as he walked along
lin a very surely mood, after another
attempt 10 get the old lady TO qaarre

"Well. what is the matter, my highl

UaLY MES.-In the Eastern part of
Ohio there resides man named Brown,
now Justice of the Peace, and very
sensible man, but, by common consent,
the ugliest individual in the West, be-
ing long, gaunt, ssllow and awry, with
gait like a kangaroo. One day he
was hunting. and on one day he was
hunting, and on one Of the mountain
roads he met man on foot and alone,
who was longer, guanter, BY all odds
than himself. Hecould give the Squire
fifty and beat him. Without seying Q
word, Brown raised his gun, and de-
libertely' le9elled 1t ut the stranger.
"a For Gods sake, dom Shoots shout
ed the man in alarm. s. Stranger" re-
piled Brown. IS swore ten years ago
that If ever met O man uglier than /
was I'd shoot him, and you are the FIRST
one I've seen.n The stranger, aftcr
taking careful survey of his rival, re-
piled q Wall, Captain, If look any
worse than you do, shoot. I don't
want to live any longer!a -

- Two clergymen entering into
conversation, one lamented the little
power his preaching and admonition
had toward reclaiming his pensioners
from their vices /; to which tho other
replied he had been more lucky, for he
had made many Of them proselytes to
the three capital virtues, namely, faith,
hope and repentance. "Ah," said tho
other. you have been very fortunate,
indeed. But, pray, by what means did
you bring them to 50 happy coaver-
sion !" Why, by borrowing their
money !; for had they not had faith in
me that / should pay them, they would
not have lent il: after had been in
debted TO them some time, they hoped
would return it; but now they know
| cannot pay them, they heartily re-
pent ever having lent it to me. !"

IS, why you hahd them 10 me OH =
stick p & .+
Very easy TO EXPLAIN replied he,
ANY one who has the cunning and
meanness to do as You have done, don't
get nearer than twenty feet of me-
So saying be fed in terror. Il
After while the old woman died.
and when she applied for admittance to
lower regions, the devil would not let
her in, for fear she might dethroue him
as she was SO much his superior. So
tho old woman is yet condemned to
wander over the world crestiDg quar-
rels and strife in peaceful families and
neighborhoods.
Would you know her name !
Itis Madam Scandal. When she
died, the young Scandals were left or
phans, but the Devil in consideration
of past services done by the mother,
adopted them, and 50 you see he is faith
er ofthat respectable class called scdn-
dal nongers.

Will labor find employment
A fair days work, fair days pay,
And toll will earn enjoyment.
What need, then, of this daily strife.
Where each wars with his brother ?

Keep trampling down each other !?

Will free the pauper's thrai

There's Room Er@gh for All.


What need Of all this fuss and strife,
Each warning with his brother? 55
Why should we in the crowd of life,
Keep trampling down each each other
Is there no goal that can be won,
Without squeeze to gain it ]!
No other way of getting on, sf
But serabbling to obtain it !
Oh, feliow-men, hear wisdem then,
In friendly warning call a
Your claims divide, the world is wide
There's room enough for all!
What If the swarthy peasant 6nd
No field for honest labor,
He need not idly step behind,
To thrust aside his neighSor, ae
There is land with sunny skies,
Which gold for toll is giving,
Where every brawny hand that tries
It's strength, can grasp living.
Oh, fellow-men, remember then,
Whatever chance befall,
The world il wide-where those abide,
There's room enough for all.
From poisoned air ye breathe in courts,
And typhus tainted alleys,
Go forth and dwell where healthresorts,
In fertile hills and valleys;
Where every man that clears a bough
Finds plenty in abundance !;
Up, leave your loathsome cities, now,
And toll for independence.
Oh, hasten then, from fevered den,
And lodging cramm'd and small,
The world is WIDEN land beside,
There's room enough for all.

The papers Playing recently on the GU

among themselves In trying TO account for
the recent political Waterloo they met with
in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.

"kiilad Cock Robin"
The American" organs say that those
States were ''fouIly betrayed by the Breck-
nridgers"--ani they skilled Cock Robin. !"

Republicans and "thus Cock Robin vas
killed 70

We had a brief call, yesterday, from w.
8. Graf, ESQ.,, of Glenwoed. Mr.. Il. Is late
II returned from a canvass of the southern
tier Of eountiee, and brings US the most fat
taring news ret arding the prospects Of Col.
Curtis. The Colonel is doing much better
on the stump than his warmest admirers pre-
dotted, while ole Ia invariably disappointing
public expectation. Dole, like Dodge, has
been sadly overrated by injudicious friends;
he has boon magnifed into second Webster
and another Calhoun: while bis efforts on
the stump indeibly stamp him weak petit
foyer and makeshift politician. He makes
the most extraordinary efforts to sustain the
soharacter' of the Democratic managers as
signed to him, bnt his "etforts" invariably
result to his own ohagrin, aud to the discom-
future OF the ''unwashed." His political VIE
ring in and wiring out, preseots such strong
contrast to the Straightforward, plain and
manly bearing of Dol. Curtis, that the joint
canvass, which, ia the opinion OF sagaoious
and ardent Donglasites, was totally to rout
and use up Col. Curtis, is everywhere result
ing in bis favor. Men Of sense are not wont
TO mistake glibneAs OF tongue and chicane
for craftsmanship, as MIR. Cole will learn to
bis sorrow on the 9th Of November next

has been exter Jed from the Rio Grande to

This is Senator Douglass eulogy on bis
favorite doctrine of popular sovereignty -
1t is literally true. His doctrine has extend
cd slavery over territory formerly free. On
the other hand, it has never extended free

Another lnportan, Change.

From all over the State, says the Louis
vile Courier, we bear OF changes from both
Douglas and Bell to Breckenridge, but the
Democracy OF Kentucky will learn, with pc
cular satisfaction, that Anderson GRAY, Eco !,
for several years y member of the Leeisla.
ture from Grayson county, and Doorkeerer
Of the last House Of Representatives, has an
nounced his intention to give IN earnest and
active support TO the National candidates. -
MIR. Gray is an old Democrat, and one Of the
most effective stumpers in the State, as he ia
personally one OF the most popular men. lie
espoused the cause Of Douglas, and has done
good service for him but he ia DOW satisfied
that the Little Giant has no chance, and he
deems IT bis sacred duty to aid in carving
Kentucky against Bell, and for the real OPP
ponent OF Lincoln in this great contest.
We will have the satisfaction OF nnnoun
cling other changes in few days, having
heard OF several already, from both Bell and
Douglas. Keep the ball moving.
