Decidedly Cool

A store-keeper was waited upon by a
lady who represented herself in rather
Strengthened circumstance and requested
him TO bestow upon her pair of ofstockings,
as it was getting to be cold weather, and
she was quite destitute of that very neces-
sary article of female apparel Being a
kind-hearted man, he selected pair from
bis stock, and laid them before her. She
picked them up from the counter and af
ter examining them very critically, she re-
quested him to put them in a paper for her,
which was accordingly done, when she
once more handed them back, saying:
"Won't you please put string around
them?"
The good -natured man complied with
the request; and as he finished tying the
string he said:
"Won't you have them sent home, mad
am Z" s.s .-zsa.s sszs...sl-..sss-z
'If you please" was the reply.
And the store-keeper relished the thing
so exceedingly that the stockings were act
ually sent home by an errand boy.

ATLANTIC a. GREAT WESTERN /

ATLANTIC & GREAT WESTERN RAIL
RoAD.-Our readers will doubtless be
pleased to learn that the prospect of the
speedy completion of the Atlantic d. Great
Western Railroad is now of the most
gratifying character. Active operations
have been commenced at Columbus, War
rem CO., Pa, near the crossing of the Sun
bury d Erie Railroad, and large num-
Der of men are now busily engaged in
grading the Road, both eastward and west
ward. Benjamin ]. Wells, of our village,
started on Tuesday morning for that place,
the supervision of the work having been
committed to his care. Mr.. Doolittle, the
contractor, has purchased tools necessary
for the labor to be performed, and is now
engaged in this vicinity, in buying horses,
mules DC. Work will be resumed in this
section in short time, probably in six or
eight week. We understand that the route
through New York has not vet been de-
fnitely settled, owing to some differences
with the jamestown Company; but it is
probable that an arrangement with that
company will soon be effected. 1t is the
intention of the officers of the road to
prosecute the work as vigorously as posi-
Bile, so as to put the line in a running con-
idtion to Raveuua at an early day.-Por-

New York CTY-A scene of misery,
says the Post, was revealed Wednesday
evening in an uptown tenement house,
which, for actual horror, is rarely equalled
in fiction. The attention of an officer was
called to the house. Knocking at the
door and receiving no answer, he opened
it. The room was quite dark, and man
in feeble voice asked what he wanted.
Making known the object of his visit, a
light was procured from an adjoining room.
The scene that presented itself was ter
rible to look upon. The man too inami
nate to rise, was seated on the floor. By
his side lay his wife, holding in her arms
an infant two months old. The mother
and child were perfectly nude an old and
faded quilt was the only covering.
|. The wife was too i'll to speak above a
whisper. In bedroom, adjoining were
three children lying sound asleep-a boy
and two girls-their ages varying from
four to nine years. They were lying
on the stats of abedstead, with not par
ticle Of bed clothing upon them.
No food or fuel was in the room. The
only furniture was stove, shackly table,
and the miserable apology for a coverlid
which covered the wife and child. Through
the officers kindness fire was soon kindled
in the stove, nourishing soup provided for
the sick wife, and proper food obtained for
the husband and children, with abundant
supplies of clothing.

doing about the best that 1 car; but the
times are still growing more gloomy. Oh
how my heart is panied within me, while
I am writing this letter, for perishing
world. Brother, let me say to the many
readers of our Religious Telescope, that
our work in Kentucky, as a church, is
crushed because we are not protected by
the Laws of the State. A great many of
our leading members are now preparing to
move West. Our lives are thretatened.-
1t is said that there was a mob of men
followed me the other night to an appoint
mont, to whip me, but they did not effect
their purpose. On Sunday some of our
friends went to meeting armed with dead
ly weapons. This we are sorry to see.-
Lord help US to do our duty! l would
now say that Rev. John NJ Blair and three
of his sons and their families, and about
eight other families, among whom is the
missionary, are about to leave this State;
likewise Rev. Thomas Hopper and family.
With tears in my eyes close this letter.
PRAY for us. You will hear from me soon.

A portion of the press of The country

board to be charged at Charleston, during
the sitting Of the National Oonseniion.--
Five dollars day, they say, is awful TO
think ofa-itis ian outrage" "a swindle, /"
and not in accordance with "Southern
hospitality" This charge of five dollars
a day is ssmonstrous," when coming from
aSouthern city; but there was no com
plaint when Cincinnati, in 1856, charged
delegates from three dollars to twenty dol
lars a day for board Southern gentle
men paid their money freely, in the city
Of Cincinnati, in 1856, without murmur.
Nortlem Yankees, however, have q keen
sense of the power of the almighty dollar
and they late southern climate at any
price. Well, let the, free-soilers stay at
home, if they DO. not not like, Charleston
and fte dollars day. The Southern del
egates can do very well without them. Pre-
cious little these Yankees VIII do towards
the electing of Democratic President, any
low. They want Douglas nominated with
. Squat;er Sovereignty platform, at two
dollars day, and Southern hospitality /;
and then they look to the South to elect
him. We beg to be excused, gentlemen.
We do not choose to invite you to such a
feast. This is our funeral. If you come
70 Charleston, we win treat you respectful
E-yes, we will treat you Hospitality; but
we intend to charge you fve dollars a day
and you must pay IN aduance, and we
want none of your Squatter Sovereignty
platforms, or beretieal candidates for Pres
ident. We viii feed you well while yon
stay and behaTe yourselves, and teach you
some sound Southern Rights doctrine,
which you never had taught you at home.
We regret to see that some of our
Southern contemporaries are grumbling in
consequence of this advance in the rates of
board of the Charleston hotel keepers
We see that several of our Georgia friends
are advocating the move of going to Char
lesion from Savannah, in steamer, to
board and lodge on the same during the
sitting of the Convention. We hope, for
the sake of the pride and dignity of Geor-
gia, that no Georgia delegates to the Char
lesion Convention will compromise his
patriotism for few dollars, more or less.
Let the Georgia delegations have the very
best fare the maket affords, and they will
then exercise controlling influence in the
Conyention. Such position is far more
becoming a delegation of Southern gentle
men, from the Empire State of the South,
than to act the part of ,oharf rats, eating
crust of bread on an old dilapidated
steamboat, merely for the sake of saving
a few dollars and cents.-Aaanta ( Ga
