4 Letter from President Buchanan.

NEW YoRK, Dec. a0.-Thc Times publishes
letter from President Buchanan to citizen Of
Philadelphia on secession. 1t is very. long:
1t cites various articles in tue Constitution,
stntiDs that they are entirely inconsistent with
the alleged supremacy Of State laws. and the
claim Of absolute Sovereignty is entirely ire
concilable with the Constitution. It Is clearly
his opinion that no State can sccede from the
Union, as 1t is impossible to destroy the Union,
except By resolution. He aays:
II have, after grave reflection, determined
not to pursue th3t line Of conduct, which,
though it might be legal, would end in civil
strif and the overthrow of onr present Govern
ulent. Although it would appear that my line
Of duty was plain and rugged, yet am firmly
persuaded that instead Of restoring order and
obedience, it would have caused war and
massacre at the Sontl', tho seizure Of the Ma
Gono1 Capitol, the Conttitution oyerthrowp, 4
military dictator appointed, 10 end perhaps
iu the formation Of constitutional mon
archv.
The only means have now at my command,
centre In exhortation to the people Is a nation
10 implore assistance from an ovcruling
Providence to nvert the dangers which now
bcset our beloved land"

KEEP THE BIRTHDAYs.-A Western exchange
makes the following excellent suggestions, which
must meet the appreciation of all readers. We trust
that they will also be received with favor by the
"old folks" 1t says:
"Keep the birth days religious; they belong ex-
clusively to, and treasured among the sweetest
memories of home. Do not let anything prevent
some token, be it ever so slight that it is remem-
bered. Birthdays are great events to children.
For one day they are heroes. The special pudding
or cake is made for them: new jacket or trow-
sers with pockets, or the first pair of boots, are
donned and big brothers and sisters sink into in
significance beside little Charley who is six to-
day. and is soon going to be man.
NMothers who have dozen little ones to care
for are apt to neglect birthdays; they too Of
ten, sometimes when they are busy, and sometimes
when they are nervous; but if they knew how
much souvenirs are cherished by their pet Susy
or Harry, years afterwards, when, away from the
heartbstone, they have none to remind them that
they have added year to the perhaps
weary round of life, wish them, in old-fashioned
phrase, "many happy returns to their birthday,
they would never permit any cause to step between
them and mothers privilege"

RETURNED AFTER CAPTIVITY OF THIRTEEN
YEARs.-George Brubaker, a citizen of Lancaster
county, Pa, reached St. Joseph, Mo-, last Wednes-
day, on his way home He was captured by a
ba nd of Camanches while on his way to California
in 1s47, thirteen years ago, and had just escaped
from them. After becoming acquainted with the
language and habits of the Indians, he was made a
medicine man, and in that capacity did great
deal of good among them, preaching to them, and
has succeeded in converting over two hundred to
the Christian religion. 1t was only after the most
solemn promises that he would return, that they
allowed him to depart, and he will 60 back as soon
as he has seen his family, who have mourned him
for years as dead.

MIR JOHN POOL AND HIS PONY.
Air.-YANKEE DOODLE.

hF.-1 ANNIE DOODAI'
Let all men hearken now to me,
And hear this simple ditty,
Which tells what wondrous things took place
Up in the Oaky City.
Twas on the twenty-second day
OF bleak cold February,
There met jolly crew as e'er
On whiskey punch got merry.
All in the big State house up there,
Assembled these and grumblers,
And spoke big words for stomachs weak,
In the pauses of the tumblers.
How they should rig their way worn feet,
To stand another canvass,
Sure they must get some project now,
And not trust to words to damn us.
IT'S true, if scolding and abuse
Could carry an election,
No new found nag lacked they to ride,
And heal their sad detection.
But 'twixt them and the Offices
There lay rushing river,
To get Know NOthlngs Ger Its flood,
Without the chill and fever.
This was a task that staggered all
Those men who viewed the water,
Ere long to crimson DER with blood
OF Opposition slaughter
But soon the platform men came In,
Leading half grown pony,
AD YALOREM was his name,
And he was gaunt and bOny.
Stone-blnd and turned out to Craze,
No man in Wake would claim him,
Moses Bledsoe had brought him there,
The Legislature famed him.
So then and there they stole The horse,
AS soon as they had found him,
And General Dockery they besought,
For loves sake then to mount him.
But Dockery's legs are long and large,
The pony could not carry
Such length of leg and breadth Of beam,
They now became more wary
For many leg was there too long,
And all with apprehension,
Grey pale with fear lest some mishap
Should follow this detention.
At last they found little man,
Not much larger than a monkey,
But even he protested to ride
A veritabe donkey.
So Mr. BledsOes spawned jade,
Sure never man was mounted,
On such hack as this before,
Sore backed, leah and foundered.
John Giipin ne er rode such race
As JOHNNY Pool is riding
All see the pony's weak ard blind,
In spite of his sErewd hiding.
Let other men say what they will,
But Oh, now amt it funny.
To see these chaps throw up their hats,
Round John Pool and his Pony?

A betrothed Bride the ere of -Mrrriugc meets
an old LOrer, and the results hereof-The Terra
Haute, Ind, Express of late date, says that few
days ago, couple, said to be from that State,
repaired to Marshall, ILL.,, to consummate that great
event in the life of young people-marriage They
put up at the Wright House, and the happy
expectant bridegroom sailed forth to procure the
necessary license, and minister. In his absence,
gentleman who had just returned from California,
examined the register, and finding the ladys name
upon it, he Immediately sought her presence He
proved to be former sutton of the lady, and in
fact, the two were engaged to be married at the
time he left for the golden State, where he went
to seek fortune to enable him to wed the girl of
his choice.
OF course there was scene. He upbraided
the fair one for her Inconsistency, and she wept
torrent of tears, asked his forgiveness, and vowed
she would break her present engagement, and unite
her fortunes with her old Lover. Just at this
moment the first gentleman returned, and his
astonishment was very great at the turn affairs
had taken in his temporary absence Explanations
followed, and the poor girl being unable to decide
between the two lovers, they retired to consult
about the matter, and it ended in the Californian
resigning all claim to the lady's hand. The lady
acquiesced in the decision, and the wedding took
place immediately the discarded and selfsacrifcing
lover officiating the right hand man to the happy
groom.

HOW THE WOMEN OF THE NATION
LOST THEIR TEETH.

Dr. Livingston's Travels in Africa is one of
the most valuable books of modern times. Among
the many curious and amusing things in it, we
find an account of strange deformity existing in
a tribe of negroes in a sun-toasted country he has
been exploring Every man, woman and child
are without front teeth. Inquiring into the cause
of the unnatural appearance, it was given him
thus
Once on time the chief of the tribe like many
better civilized countries, possessed of retrac-
tory wife He endured her imprudences and an
noyances for many years, but one day his passion
became suddenly aroused, he gave her what is
termed in civilized parlance, "plug"in the mouth
with his fist The blow must not have been severe
but well aimed, for it relieved the mouth Of the
proud woman of all her front teeth.
Thus despoiled of her most priced beauty, the
sable matron hid herself in shame and afterwards
became a tractable and Obedient wife. The war
riors of the tribe in council assembled. observing
the good effects of that good blow of the chief
and being troubled generally with dissobedient
wives resolved at to follow his pugilistic ex-
ample. Each repaired to :her home, and rested
not content until their wives deprived of their
front teeth
The result of this general affliction, however was
very far from being satisfactory. The tooth
less women became enraged at the loss of their
pearly jewels, and combined against their lordy
masters in general mutiny, which the warriors
were unable to resist
After period of serious trouble peace was re-
stored, and compromise on the following terms:
The husbands were Immediately to extract their
front teeth and thus deform themselves as thew
had deformed their wives and from that day on all
their children to suffer the same infliction at
the earliest possible age. The covenant has been
faithfully adhered to, and the tribe, from custom,
now consider teeth an enormity
