Tue Power oa SuLScE.-A good woman
in New Jersey was sadly annoyed by ter
magant neighb1r who often visited her and
provoked a quarrel She at last sought the
counsel Of her pastor, Who added sound
common sense to his other good qualities.
Having heard the story of her wrongs, be
advised her to seat herself quietly in the
the chimney corner, when next visited, take
the t0ngs in hand, look steadily iuto the fire,
and whenever a hard word came from her
neighbor's lips, gently snap the tongs with
out utteringa word. \ day or two afterwards
the woman came again to her pastor with
bright smiling face to communicate the elect
Of this new antidJte for seolding. Her
troublor had visited her, and, as usual,
commenced her TRADE. Snap went the tongs.
Another volley Snap. Another still. Snap
"Why don t you speak" said the termagant,
more enragcd. Snap Do speak; l shall
split, if YOU don't speak. So and away she went,
cured OF her malay by the magic Of silence.
1t is hard work lighting Quaker. 1t is poor

not last long, ana generally end in victory

PoIITIcAL.--The last Pony arrival brought the
action of the National Union Convention, lately
convened al Baltimore. John Bell of Tennessee,
received the nomination of that body as Pres-
Dental candidate, and Edward Everett, of Mass,
for the Vice Presidency. Both are known as
sterling Union men, and the ticket for the time
may be considered a strong one, yet it probably
cannot carry a single State. There are plenty
of people who cannot support either the Demo
cratic or Republican nominees; such will rally
around the standard of the Baltimore nominees
1t is folly to urge that there exists at present
more than two National political partes-the
Democratic and Republican. In those two are
now centcred the strength and remnants of the
opposing factions of the past eight years
Whether the holding of this Union Convention
thus early was looked upon by its projectors as
matter of expedency may and may not be.
The nomination certainly will not be endorsed
by either Of the regular parties, and if the Ma
tional Union nominees go before the people next
November, the result WILL we honestly believe,
be favorable to the Republican party. Bell is
Southern man of note, and will receive Southern
votes enough to materially weaken the strength
which would otherwise fall with the Democracy
Everett we believe to be as patriotic Democrat
as the North contains and will carry with him
a good proportion Of northern Democratic votes
If Douglas is nominated. as we have good reason
to believe he will be, and repudated by portion
Of the South, the dissenters will naturally go to
the Union candidates, which in the cud will be
equivalent to voting the Republican ticket. We
believe third ticket will certainly result in the
election of a Rpuublican President.
The action of the Charleston Presidcnt-makers
is awaited with interest. The general impression
is that Douglas will be chosen, but since the
smashup in that body it is hard TO predict what
will follow. A compromise may be affected and
all go on smoothly yet. Even then it will be a
hard contest between Democracy and Republi-
canism, whoever the latter may choose as leader.
A bitter political battle is to be fought and won
next November, and neither of the two great
National parties are idle A third will indirectly
throw its strength to one Of them-which can be
better determined after the nominations are made

The School Horse FIGHT.-It pleases us to
announce that the vote on a special tax for school
purposes, last Friday carried by one hundred
and twenty-nine majority. There was no little
excitement over the proposition. Good work
was done both for and against it, but for the
credit OF our comfy and the good of the little
ones, we are pleased at the result. The tax will
not be more than 81 10 on each thousand dollars
perhaps not half that amount. We shall be on
the lookout, and see whether the pane of any
property holder uto roted for the tar is found on
the delinquent tax list next Fall. Such things
have occurred TO our knowledge. Some people
there are who are too mean to pay the Tax as
sessed against them, because as general thing
nobody will bid on property at a delinquent tax
sale We wish business men who pay their taxes
cheerfully would form league to bring such
mean ones TO their senses when the day OF sale
arrives

hands while he went to shut Off the water. As

Of earth, which spread over twenty feet of the
claim and buried him five or six feet deep He
was taken out in ten minutes, lifeless. Mr. Par

fifty years of age Pennsylvania papers please
notice. Mr. f. Fogerty furnished us with the
