Liberality is the best way to gain ELECTION
for We are assured of their friendship to
whom we are obliged.
The greater the man is, the more he hath
need of friend and the more difficulty
there is in finding and knowing him.
Worthy minds deny themselves many adj
vantages to satisfy a generous benefcence,
which they bear friends il distress.
Inquisitive people are the tunnels of con-
versation they do not take in anything for
their own use, but merely to pass it to an
other.
Choose thy wife wisely; open not thy boz
som to the trifer repose not thy head on
the breast which nurseth envy, and folly,
and vanity.
More hearts pine away in secret anguish
for unkindness from those who should be
their comforters, than for any other calam.
ity in life.
He who would bring home the wealth of
the Indies, must carry the wealh of the Inc
dies with him. So it is in travelling a
man must carry knowledge with him, if he
would bring home knowledge.
If man could be concious of all that is
said of him in his absence, be would proba>

A WEDDING,

The bride turned little pale, and then a
little flushed, and at last had Just the right
quantity of bright, becoming color. and al
most shed a tear, but not quite, for smile
came instead and chased it away. The
bridegroom was warned not TO forget the
ring, and all were assembled around the al
tar. 'I WILL" was uttered in clear, low
voice, and the new name was w1itten-and
Sophy Grey, was Sophy Grey no more: and
she turned her bright face to be looked on,
and loved, and admired, by the crowd of re-
| atoms and friends surrounding her; and
they thought that SOphy Stokston was still
dearer and prettier than ever Sophy Grey
had been-and then the carriages were en-
tered, and the house was reached. Sophy
walked into her fathers house-her child
hoods home-her home no longer-a the
bridal dress was changed, and the travelling
took its place, and all crowded around her to
say good-by-to look on that dear face once
more--to feel that her fate was sealed-tu
pray that it might be happy one-to think
that she was going away-away from her
home-away with stranger and tears and
smiles were mingled. and fond looks, and
long embraces, and fathers mingled tear
and sorrow was on her cheek; and the sis
ter's tear, that yainly tried to be smile,
and the mothers sobs and Sophy Grey left
her fathers house-left with the bright beam
of joy and hope upon her brow and anoth-
er moment, the carriage door was closed, the
last good-by uttered-and Ssphy was gone.
Oh how melancholy how lonely does the
house appear, where but moment before all
had been interest and hurry.
Who has not experienced the deserted SEN
sation, when those we are accustomed to see
are gone-when the agitation, the interest at
parting is over; the forl6rn, empty look of
the room-the work-box the drawing mates
rials, the music, all gone; or perhaps one
single thing left to remind how all was "a
flower, perhaps, that had been gathered and
cast aside the cover of letter which had
been scrib5led over in the forgetfulness of
the happy conversation.

1INcoLM AMONG CHILDREN.

Probably no attribute of our candidate
popular heart, as the conviction that he is
emphatically Zone of the people," His
manhood has not been compressed into the
artificial track sof society; but his great
heart and vigorous inteilect have been allow
ed genere us development amid his solitary
struggles in the forrest and prairie. With
vision unobscured by the mists of sopistry,
be distinguishes at once between what is
true and what is false, and with will and
courage fortified by his life of hardships, the
is not a man to shirk any responsibility, or
to shrink from any opposition. Moreover,
he is peculiarly one to win our confidence
and affection. To know &c Honeas Abe" is
to loye him and his neighbors in the west,
although voting for him to man, will mourn
the victory which depriyes then of his pres
ence.
The following instance will exhibit Lin
coin in one of those unobtrusive acts of good
ness which adorn his life. The circumstance
was related by teacher in the Five Points
House of Industry, in New York. "Our
Sunday School in the Eve points was assem-

since I noticed tall and remarkable look-

accepted the invitation with evident pleas
ure, and coming forward he began simple
address, which at once fascinated every lit
tie bearer. and hushed the room into silence.
His language was strikingly beautiful, and
his tones musical with intensest feeling
The little faces around would drop into sad
conviction as he uttered sentences of warn
ing, and would brighten into sunshine as he
spoke cheerful words Of promise. Once or
twice he attempted to close his remarks,
but the imperitive shout of go on do
go on would compel him to resume. AS l
looked upon the guant aud sinewy form of

about him, and be was q1ietly leaving the

A Family opposed to newspapers.

The man who didn't take the papers was
in town yesterday. lie brought his whole
family in two horse wagon. He still be-
lieved that General Taylor was president.
and wanted to know if the Kamkatkians"
had taken Cuba, and if so, where they had
taken it. He bad sold his corn for thirty
cents-tbe price being fifty fye-but on CO.
ing to deposit the money, they told him that
it was mostly counterfeit. The only hard
money he had was some three>cent pieces,
and these some sharper had "run on him"
for half di mes.
One Of the boys went to the blacksmith's 8
shop to be measured for pair of shoes, and
another mstook the market-house for a
church. After hanging his nat on meat
hook, he plously took seat on the butchers
stall, and listened to an auctioneer, whom he
took to be the preacher. lie left before the
''meetin' waz ou:," and had no great opinion
of the " sarmint."
One of the girls took lot of 'seed onions"
to the Post Office to trade them for letter.
She had baby, which she carried in a
sugar trough" stopping at times to rock it
on the sidewalk. When it cris she stuffed
its mouth with an old stocking, aud sung

The oldest boy had sold two "coon SKINS"
and was on bust" When last seen he
had called for glass of soda and water, and
stood soaking his gingerbread and making
wry faces. The shop-keeper mistaking his
meaning, had given him mixture of sal so-
da and water, and it tasted strongly of soap.
But he'd hearn tell of soda an water, an
he was boun' to give ita fair trial" Some
"town feller" came in and called for lem
onade with a fly in it," whereupon our
soapei friend turned his back and quietly
wiped several flies into his drink.
We approached the aid gentleman and
tried to get him to subscribe" but he we'd
not listen to it. He was opposed to inter-
nal improvements and he thought "larnin'
was wicked invention and vexation." None
of his family ever learned to read, but one
boy, and he "teached sch ool for while and
then went to studying divinity !"
