veins; when the spirit sleeps the sleep, APP
parenty that knows no waking, in its
house of clay, and the window shutters

wish the golden sunshine pitchy black

sickness when physic may be thrown to
the dogs, for we will have none of it.
What shall raise the sleeping Lazarus?-

Love itself is the great stimulant-the
most intoxicating of al-and performs
all these miracles; but it is miracle itself
and is not at the drugstore, whatever they

runs down, and the unnatural slim

widest revelry more silent. more sad,
more deserted, more dead.

The Danger to the Union.

Judge Orr, who is now stumping Mis-
souri, as an opposition candidate for gov
ernor, ridicules the idea of danger to the
Union from the success of the Republ;-
cans, and tells the following story to it,
ustrate the asinine character of such
threats: >srss sass ~
"The people are beginning to know
them rs we'll as the lion knew thu don
key, with whom be was travelling. The
pair become hungry,the donkey proposed
that they should turn aside into ccrn
field. They did so, and the donkey hav-
ing feasted to his content, was preparing
to leave but the hon said: "What am |
to do? | cannot eat corn True SAID
the donkey, but if you will lie in the bush
here, will go into the thlcket yonder,
and frighten the deer with bray, SO
that you can catch one when they attempt
to escape The lion agreed, and the
jackass going into the thicket, prayed so
terribly that all the deer in it came run
ming out. The lion seized one, and made
meal Of the prey. On coming back,
the donkey, with conceit, asked: Didn't
| scare them?' Yes replied the lion;
sand you would have scared me, too, if
l hadn't known who you werer Just so
we might be frightened by the predictions
of danger to our institutions by the Dem
ocrats, if we did not know exactly what
value to set upon them.'

THE TowsoNTowN BRANCH RAILRoAD.-For thC
past three years. there has been considerable work
done in grading branch railroad from the North

miles in length. Some months ago, the contractor
left, and now, under the terms of the charter, the
land reverts to the original owners OF the property
portion of whom do not feel disposed to extend
further privileges to the railroad company, so that
of the company blame the contractor for the non
fulGlment thereof, and we understand the contract
or blames the company.

Most of the locomotive building establishments
