Jenny colored, and placing the bunch:in the

red camelias, and this white cluster,' said
Laura.
s'But sister, you cannot afford it,

The old man bit his lip.
ssThink, said Jenny in low tone, "if you
love HIM, how much it will greve him, if he
should discover this deceit''

Jennie left the room, and Laura turned over
the gay flowers while the old man pointed out
their various beauties, his eye in the meantime
running over the disordered hair, shabby dress
and lazy position, whilst he mentally contrast

MR. EDITOR One question from the pupil
is considered as worth ten from the teacher.
Therefore | would like some of your politi-
clans to explain TO me little difficulty that 1
have gotten into by reading the Presidents
speech, delivered in Washington, July 9th.
He tells us in that speech that the Supreme
Court has declared that Slavery is constitu-
tional, and that slaves property. He then
asks the question, ssWhen was property ever
submitted to the will of the majority 2'' And
answering it himself, he says, ''Never. If you
Sc hold property, you hold it independent of
{" Congress, or of the State Legislature, or of
&c the Territorial Legislature-it is yours, and
&c your Constitution was made to protect your
:" private property against the assaults of legis-
I" latiye power.'' By this it would appear that
any citizen of the United States can take his
property-slave property-into any of the
States and enjoy the possession of it with i'm
punity, independent of the will of the people
amidst whom he lives, and independent too of
the laws and regulations of the State to which
he mas migrated. Thus, Vfrginian may pull
up stakes and come over into Clearfield with
his farming tools and niggers, and settle down
in our midst-and where is our remedy 2
When we read to him our laws prohibiting sla-
very he can hoot at our presump mption-laugh at
the absurdity of our idea of making laws con-
trary to the conStitution-and sustain his posi-
tion, too, by the construction placed upon that
instrument bp the immortal Buchanan! Here
is dilemma that needs little explanation
ere my untutored mind can comprehend it. Ii
Buchanan is right, all our talk and trouble "a
bout States free and Stare, is mere nonsense,
because our whole confederacy is a slave con-
federacy, and the freedom that does exists, ex-
lists in spite of the constitution. Do reason
correctly? WM. CARR.
Liberty Hill, August 22d.
There is little doubt that the position Bu-
chanan takes, will inevitably lead to the con-
clusions which our correspondent has reached.

HIDDEN EMOTIONS.

There is no heart but has its inner anguish;
There is no eye but hath with tears been wet;
There is n voice but hath been heard to languish
Der hours of darkness it can ne'er forget.
There is no cheek, however bright its roses,
But perished buds beneath its hues are hid;
No eye that in its dewy light reposes,
But broken star beams tremble meath its lid.
There is no lip howe'er with laughter ringing,
However light and gay its words may be,
But it hath trembled at some dark upspringing
Of stern aiction and deep misery.
We all are brothers in this land of dreaming.
Yet hand meets hand, and eye to eye replies,
Nor dream We that beneath eye all beaming,
The flower of its life in broken beauty lies.
Oh blessed light that gilds our night of sorrow,
Oh. balm of giead, for our healing found;
Weknow that peace will come with thee to- orrow
And that Affections spring not from the ground.

JOHN BELL AS UNDERSTOOD AT THE SoCTH.-
Mr.. b. r. Hill, one of the electors at large on
the Bell and Everett ticket in Tennessee, says
81 repeat, we have four candidates in the
field, and OF these John Bell is the only cardi-
date who has always voted directly against the
Wilmot Proviso and Squatter Sovereignty
ssJohn Bell is the only candidate who has vo-
ted directly in favor of protection (of slavery.)
ssJohn Bell is the only candidate who has
declared that Slavery was the great element of
our prosperity as nation, and was right ac-
cording to the laws of God and nature
''John Bell is the only candidate who has
declared that humanity to the slave, no less
than jnstice to the master, required the difu-
sion and ertensi0n of Slavery.
''What excuse shall Southern man render
his conscience and his country for refusing to
vote for John Bell ?''
We take it for granted that Mr.. Hill knows
the views of his leader, and that he would not
misrepresent him. What excuse, then, can
Northern man render for voting for a candi-
date who is on the record in favor of Slavery
as s'the great element of our prosperity as
Nation," and believes it TO be ssright accor-
ding to the laws of God and Nature ?''

FuAD PAcHA, the Turkish Minister of For

FUAD PAcHA, the Turkish Minister of For
eign Affairs, who was sent from Constantine
pie by the Sultan to stop the Syrian disorders
is acting energetically and effectively. He
has deposed the Governor General at Cyprus
and confscated his property; has commenced
an investigation into the conduct of the Gov
ernor General at Beyrout; has arrested six or
seven hundred of the participators in the Da-
mascus massacre; ordered their immediate
trial, and the execution of such as are found
guilty; has restored large amount of the
plundered property, and is stationing troops
to protect the Christians who are menaced.-
His action has frightened the Druses, who are
now beginning to protest their readiness to
obey the laws and to respect the rights of the
Christians. He has the support of the Turk
ish troops, who, though they connived at the
massacres, do not now venture to disobey his
orders, land he derives strong additional NOR
al support from the presence of the French,
English and Greek fleets at Beyrout, and the
knowledge that an Expedition is coming from
France and Russia for the defence of the Chris
tianS.

THE LAST OF THE ALCHEMISrs.-The last true
believer in alchemy, according to Mr.. Brande,
was Peter Woulfe, the eminent chemist, asso-
ciated with Woulfe's Apparatus for conden-
sing gaseous products in water, and Eel
low of the Royal Society. Woulfe was tall,
thin man he died in Barnard's Inn, Holborn,
in 1905, and his last moments were remark bile.
BY his desire, his laundresS shut up his cham
bers, and left him, but returned at midnight
when Woulfe was still alive next morning,
however, she found him dead his countenance
was calm and serene, and. apparently, he had
not moved from the position in which she
had last seen him. Little sknown of Woulfe' s
life. Sir Humphrey Davy states that he used
to affiX written prayers and inscriptions of re-

His chambers were so filled with furnaces and
apparatus, that it difficult to reach his fire.

once put down his hat, and could never find it
again, such was the confusion of boxes, pack
ages and parcels that lay about the room. His
breakfast hour was four in the morning; few
of his friends were occasionally invited. and
gained entrance by secret signal, knocking
a certain number OF times at the inner door of
the chambers. He had long vainly searched
for the elixir, and attributed his repeated fail
ures to the want of due preparation by pious
and charitable acts. Whenever he wished to
break an acquaintance or felt himself offended,
he resented the supposed injuries by sending
present to the offender. and never seeing him
afterwards; these presents sometimes consist
ed of an expensive chemical product or prepa-
ration. He had heroic remedy for illness,
which was journey to Edinburgh and back by

the lungs, of which he died.-lFrom limbs

A remarkable inundation occurred in Scot
land in the year 1771, which ever since that
period has been known as the ssfiood." A
little town called Paradise is situated within
the district which suffered from this disaster.

years of age, who was witness, was asked if
he knew Mr.. "Noa,'' he replied"

THE AUTHOR OF ssSwEET HoME."-It is
said the author of s'Sweet Home,'' S. Howard
Payne, whose song has been sung all over the
world, was himself wanderer in life, and
never had home. He was at one time Consul
of Tunis, aud was man of fine conversational
powers. A friend of his records that he gave
history of his wanderings, his trials and
cares incident TO his sensitive nature and pow
erty. ssHow often,'' said he once, 81 have
been in the heart of Paris, Berlin and London,
or some other city, and heard persons singing
or hand-organs playing, 'sSweet Home," with
out having shilling to buy myself meal, or
place to lay my head. The world has liter
ally sung my song until every heart is familiar
with its melody. Yet have been wander
er from my boyhood. My country has turned
me ruthlessly from office, and in my old age
have to submit to humiliation for my bread" )"
His only wish was to die in foreign land and
be buried by strangers, and sleep in OBSCURE
ty. His wish was gratiied. He died at Tunis.

Lorenzo Dow is still remembered by some
of the sold fogies'' as one of the most eccen-
trick men that ever lived. On one occasion
he took the liberty, while preaching, to de-
nounce a rich man in the community, recent
ly deceased. The result was an arrest, a trial
for SANDER, and an imprisonment in the coun-
ty Jail. After Lorenzo got out of 'slimbo'' he
announced that, in spite of his Tin his opinionI
unjust punishment, he should preach at Civ
en- time, a sermon about ssanother rich man.'
The populace was greatly excited, and crowd
ed house greeted his appearance. With great
solemnity he opened the Bible, and read,
"And there was rich men who died and went
to - then stopping short, and seeming
to be suddenly impressed, be continued:
sBrethren, shall not mention the place this
rich man went to, for fear he has some rela-
tives in this congregation who will sue me for
