True, the country needs reposo but it is
the ropose of Liberty. and not the rcpose Of
Despotism. And believe me, that glad day
can never come until the mad assumptions for
slavery are all rejected, and the government
is once more brought back to the spirit Of its
founders. IL was clearly understood at the
beginning that Congress could not touch slav-
cry in the States, and this is the doctrine Of
the Republican party now. But it was also
cl arly understood at the beginning that slav-
cry everywhere else was within the iurisdic-
tion Of Congress and this also is the doctrine
of the Republican party now. With the
practical acceptance of these two corrclative
principles, the slavery question will cease To
agitate Congress and to divide political par
ties. Transferred to the more tranquil do
main of morals, religion, economy and phi
lanthropy, it must continue 90 occupy the at

A HUNGRY CARPET BAG.

The Buffalo Express relates an amusing
incident which occurred at Erie, few days
since. A gentleman left Cleveland for New
York at an carly hour in the morning, with
out his breakfast, and being very hungry,
upon the arrival Of the train at Erie, entered
the dining and placing his carpet-bag
upon chair, sat down beside V, and com
monccd valorous attack upon the yiands
placed before him.
By-and-by the proprietor of the establish
ment came round to collect fares. and upon
reaching our friend calculated
dollar, sir !"
"A dollar :" responded the eating man,
"a dollar thought you only charged fifty
cents meal, for one, eh :"
That's true" said meanness, ''but /
count your carpet-bag one, since II occupies
a seat"
The table was far from being crowded.
Our friend expostulated but the landlord
insisted, and the dollar was reluctantly bro't
forth The landlord passed on. Our friend
deliberately rose, and opening his carpet bag
full in its wide mouth, discoursed unto it,
sayiag
"Carpet bag, it seems you're an indiyidu-
ala human individual. since you eat--at
least I've paid for you, and now yon must
eat = upon which he seized everything eata-
Bile within his reach--nuts, raisins, apples,
cakes and pies, and amid the rosrs Of the
by-standers, the delight of his brother pas
sengers, and the discontinue of the landlord,
phlegmatically went and took bis seat in the
cars.
He said he had provisions enough to last
him to Now York. after a bountiful supply
had been served out in the cars. There was
at least eight dollars worth in the bag. upon
which the landlord realized nothing in the
way of profit. So much for mesnness,

The Disadvautaes Of Meddling

What is more intolerable than an
officiOus intermeddler with other
peoples affairs One of the most
busy Of the tribe was travelling in
the cars not long ago, and exercis-
ing his talent in manner at once
amusing and mischievous. Halo /!
cries Mr.. Meddler, to decrepid old
gentleman, just as the train was
leaving a way-station, Wake up,
and step lively! This is the place
where you want to get out The
old man hadibarely time to put his
-tottering legs on the platform OF
the Depot, when the train was in
motion again. Good gracious ex-
claimed Mr.. Meddler, on returning
to his seat which was next the one
the old gentleman had occupied
Good gracious the old fellow has
gone and left his carpet bag! So
he very kindly threw it out of the
window.
Half an hour later, young man
came in from another car and in
quired for missing carpet-bag.-
1t was on this seat, said the stran.
ger, pointing to the spot where the
old gentleman had been sitting
Good gracious again said Mr.. Med.
dler, why, l thought the carpet bag
belonged to the old gentleman who
got out awhile ago, and so threw
it out of the window after him
cause I 'sposed he'd forgot it =
The duce you did said the stran
ger, with a scowl, and how came
the old man to leave the train?-
Why, said Mr.. Meddler, 1 though
I heard him say he was going t.
Middleport, so when we came t
the depot, told him we was there
and he had better get out. That
how it was. s. @
You had better have mindc
your own business, said the youn
man rather sharply. That oil
gentleman was going to to Middle
bury, to see a dying son, who wi
now be dead and buried, probably
before his father can get there
That's one of the results ofyour o.
fcious inter-meddling with thing
that don't concern you. And tha

has got my wedding suit in it.

No.. Henry Ward Beecher, the
Republican pulpit preacher, is
slightly down on the rich man -
Hear what he says in a recent SER
mon respecting that respectable
class of pehple: As men grow rich
they grow mean. Why, l know
men-pious men--who actually
periure themselves about their
property, that they may save what
is justly due the city for taxes
They are as mean--as well--mean-
ness has tunneled them from end
to end, and the biggest one lies
through the heart, and the devil
runs his trains through and through
daily. If any one else but Beecher
had said this he would have been
called wicked fellow, but Beecher
can say what he chooses, and it is
all right. ".",l a,"" +""a4

his lady-love and her band-boxes Oh
a board four inches square.
We are tired of hearing woman
complain that their husbands don't
care SO much for them as they used
to. and setting it down to the score
of heartlessncss, when it is nothing
on earth but sour bread snd burnt
ham at the breakfast table. Knock
at the door of their affections with
frying pan, and they'll open it
fast enough. .
We are tired listening to the out
cry of 'hard times from buiness
men, who wonder 'where on earth
the money slips to- when part of il

My Early Love

It was an ardent, boyish love,
That faded out, as life grew older;
Ny heart flowed to her, like dove;
And lighted on her beauteous sholder.
Or slipped the honey from her lips,
Or in her eyes foupd heavenly graces-
Iloved her to the finger tips
loved her very foot print traces.
Her features wore rapturous charm
Her smile made all within me hutter
In rounded beauty was her arm; .'
Her little hand was fat as butter
No wonder that I loved her sol
But she was false as she was pretty;
And soon she sacked her little beau,
And took great one from the city
Icaught him out one gloomy night F

But oh, he larruped me like blazesl
