Terrific.

Terrific.
. An editor of Eatonton, Ca, in setting
forth the claims of Mr.. johnson, one of
the candidates for the Vice-Presidency,
describes his eloquence on certain oc-
casion as follows: g..
"Johnson rushed upon his foes with
the clangor of the trumpet and the flash
of the battle-ax. Like Ceur de Leon
among the scimeters of Saladin, he strobe
on, right ON, dealing his stalwart blows
right and left, and everything was borne
down by his ponderous arm. Like the
sleeping lion aroused from his lair by
some careless intruder, he sprang upon
his victims, tore their flesh, crushed
their bones, and beat their bodies to a
jelly by hurting them against the earth,
that trembled to the thunder of his in
furiate howls. Like the mad bull in
the arena, he rushed upon those who
pricked him with their spears, gored
into their vitals, tossed them into the
air, and trampled them under his feet. ."

smLJustice Biglow of the Supreme
Court, in Boston, has given a decision
adverse to the Mrs. Elizabeth Thorndike
suit to recover possession of her child
The Judge not only remanded the boy

Beautiful.

Beautiful.
Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud comes over US with beauty that
is not of earth, and then pass away,
leaving us to muse On faded 1oveliness?
Why is it that the stars that hold their
nightly throne are placed above the
reach of our limited faculties, forever
mocking us with their unapproaehablc
glory? And why is it that the bright
forms of human beauty presented to our
views are then taken from us, leaving
the thousand streams of affection to flow
back in almighty torrents upon the HUI
man? We are born of larger destiny
than that of earth There is a. land
where the stars will be set out before US
like islands that slumber in the. ocean,
and where the beautiful beings that pass
before us ike meteor will stay in our
presence forever.

a@-T The latest Paris papers are filled
with deplorable accounts of all kinds of
suicide in different parts of France. In
Lyons, young man of twenty two years
of age ascended the steeple of church
and threw himself into the street.
Other different means are constantly re-
sorted to, to make an unhappy end to a
more unhappy existence. Women, by
the dozen, have lately made an untimely
end to their lives; and razors, firearms,
and even charcoal, are again IN a great
demand by that class of French malcon-
tents.

sympathy OF the Body with an Ampu-
tated Member.
At Towers Mill, in Lanesborough,
Mass, young man named Jerry Swain
was caught by the arm in some ma
chinery, and the limb was SO badly
broken and mangled that amputation
was necessary. This was SUCCESSFULLY
performed; but according to the Pitts
field Eagle, Mr.. Swans connection with
the discovered limb did not cease with
the operation. The Eagle says: On re-
covering from the stupor (produced by
the use Of chloroform) Mr.. Swan still
complained sorely Of ali aching hand
Late in the evening his distress became
very great, and lie insisted that the hand
was cramped by being doubled up. Tho
limb had been placed in a small box and
buried His attendants dug it mp and
Strengthened the hand and he was soon
easier. Next morning the limb was
again buried. But he soon complained
of a sensation of cold and great pain in
it. 1t was accordingly taken up again,
wrapped up and deposited in tomb,
since which he is again relieved.

Integrity.
One of the most excellent Qualities of
mind is integrity. Let us aim to cult
vate this trait of character, and we add
much to our worth in whatever de-
partment of life's varied scene we may
chance to mingle. A man cannot long
prosper, or, what is of more Importance,
secure the respect or love of his fellows
without integrity. 1t is the base of
credit-the security to which the world
will look in its dealing with individuals,
and open the account accordingly. A
thousand devices are needed by the art
full man to cloak his designs, or hide his
failures, of which the honest, upright
man knows nothing. It is on the prin-
ciple that number of falsehoods are
necessary !c &c prop a single uptruth, that
it may not fall. The man of integrity
stands right up in the proud conscious
ness of his own moral worth, he needs
not the darts Of malice-the breath of
SANDER cannot harm him, his word has
the efficiency of bond. An exchange
says in regard to this subject:
"Repreaches have no power to afflict
the man of unblemished integrity or the
abandoned profigate, It is the middle
compound character which is alone miser-
able, often the man who has not firm
ness enough to avoid dishonorable
action, has feeling enough to be ashamed
of it,

n@-The Chicago Times says that the
prairies in the vicinity of that place
fairly swarm with grassi,oppers. There
seems to be at least seven grasshoppers
to every blade of grass. In some places
gardens have been literally devoured by
the hopping insects. Among vegetables,
however, they appear to have a prefer
ence, and while some kinds have been
eaten up, others have escaped with not
much injury.

Charmed by a Snake.

W d ShaAes
The Rochester Uetonsrelates the case
of a child, two years of age, daughter of
Mr.. Davis, in that city, charmed by a
snake. One day Mrs. Davis found the
snake in the arms of the little girl, who
was fondling it as she would kitten
The mother was naturally much alarmed
by the apparent peril in which she saw
her child, and seized stick to destroy
the reptile. The snake slowly retreated,
showed its tongue, and hissed at the
mother. The child cried, and begged
so hard of its parent to desist, that she
allowed the snake to retreat to its hiding
place. The child evidently thinks of
nothing else but her companion, the
snake, and under the fascination is suffer
ing a physical decline. She now weighs
but II pounds. Physicians have ad-
vised that the meetings, which take place
as frequently as the child can get out of
the house be gradually interrupted, un-
til entirely broken off.

Persistence IN the Fraud
In speech delivered near Boston the
other day, Mr.. Douglas used the follow.
ing language: F....
"If we only remain faithful to that
fundamental principle, popular Sove-
reignty,) and leave the people of EACH
State and Territory free to manage their
own domestic affairs IN their olcn ,ottg,
without interfering with those of their
neighbors, there can be peace forever
between the North and the South, the
East and the West eJ{i
Now contrast this with the following
extract from the same mafi's speech, ut
New Orleans, December 1858.
'sSLAvES ARE REGARDED AS PROP
ERTY, AND PLACED ON AN EQUAL
FOOTING with all other property
Hence the owner of slaves, the same as
the owner of any other species of prop
erty, HAS A RIGHT TO REMOVE
TO ANY TERRITORY, AND CARRY
HIS PROPERTY WITH HIM."
These two statements-the one made
near Boston, and the other in New Or
leans-show what effect climate has
on the ofice-seeker.
