Rustic Simplicity.--A Newly-Married
Man in an Unpleasant Predicamcnt.
Day before yesterday trio of newly
welded couples from the interior of Ken
lucky, arrived at the Burnet House, and
took apartments for the night in that we'll
ordered hotel. Ii was quite evident that
the entire party were unfamiliar with
metropolitan sights. The roomy corri
doris. marble floors, gorgeous drawing
room, and we'll spread table of the hotel,
drew from them the most ingenious re-
marks of surprise. In the evening they
visited the opera house, and were so as
tonished by its magnifcence, that Mrs
Walters wonderful impersonation of
." Meg Merrilles," almost failed to inter-
est them.
Nothing more was thought of the ver-
dant trio ill about l o'clock yesterday
morning, at which hour the boot black
of the Burnet House, in making his Gus
iomary round, observed one of the bu-
collie Benedicts seated in the hall, near
the door of his room. He naiyelv asked
the polisher of understandings if he was
the clerk. Receiving a negative answer,
he informed the boot black that he would
like to see that individual. In few mo-
ments one of the attentive office men was
at his side, and politely asked what was
needed.
Couldn't you make me bed in the
parlor 2" said the disconsolate looking
individual.
In the parlor ?" echoed the clerk
Z" l am afraid not.'
Well, I'd like to have one spread
down some'eres."
"Why don't you go into your own
room ?" asked the clerk.
Il don't like to-" said the bashful
young man.
Whats the matter ?" continued the
clerk. =" Has your wife turned you out ?'
NO" said he drawlingly: "but,
you see, I've never been married before,
and don't much like to go in, patrick
Ter in strange place"
"Oh, go right in" said the clerk.
smiling audibly." "She won't think
il wrong"
Here the door of his room opened
about an inch, aud through the aperture
came coaxing voice, saying:
DO come in, John. l won't hurt yer.
know'd they'd think strange of your
standin' out there. Come in, won't yer =?
I've done and blow'd out the gas, and
it's all dark"
The odor from the room assured the
clerk that she had indeed "blow'd" out
the gas, SO, pushing open the door, he
stopped the flow, raised window, and
returned TO the ball to persuade the YER
dant husband to retire with his wife,
All argument was fruilless, however,
and he was compelled to assign the sim
pie individual separate room for the
night.

as H. Dawson, Esq. editor of the Louis
vile Democrat, publishes his valedictory
in the last number of that paper-stating
in effect that he has published the Dem
ocrat two years as a moderate Douglas
organ, but that he can do so no longer
:" for conscience sake" He purposes to
start straight-out Republican paper in
Clay county before the campaign is fair
ly opened. He says:
"To carry double face during the
coming great struggle between right and
wrong, in our own opinion would be
highly criminal; therefore we were very
glad to sell out at the first opportunity,
that we might have our limbs free to fight
on the side of right at the next election
as also that each party might have pa
per 10 represent them"

vice 10 those subject TO this injection. If takca
in season it cXpcls it from the system Us it Is a-
sorbod, and thus keeps those who use ii free from
its attacks; keeps the system in health although
exposed TO the disease. Consequently it not only
cures, but protects FROM the great variety of ;.-
fcctions which are induced by this malignant
mAucnce' such as Remittent Fever, Gill Power,
Dumb, or Masked Aguc, Periodical Headache
or Bilious Headache, Bilious Fevcrs, Neuralgia,

of these arrangements and cures the disease
This it accomplishes by stimulating the C&ca0-
tories TO eNpel the virus from the system; al
these organs by degrees become habiicd TO do this

what we term dcclimdti5p. Time may accomplish

his mortal coil, on Tuesday last, as was

coffin, which was then placed on a wood

the place of burial. In passing along a
steep hillside, the horse took fright and
rushed off. followed by the attendants in

\ Southern View of Mr.. Stewards
SDeech.

The Paris (Ky.) Citizen prefaces a
number of extracts from Mr.. Seward S
late speech with the following remarks
No speech during the present session
of Congress has excited so much inter-
est as that of Mr.. Seward, delivered in
the Senate on Wednesday of last week.
Mr.. S. is the acknowledged leader-the
representative man of a powerful party
and his intellectual abilities are equal to
the position. When he speaks, his ut
terance may be taken as the principles
Of his party. In this view, this, his first
speech during the present session, is of
deep interest to the country. But there
Were other circumstances contributing
to the interest. He has been accused Of
indirect if not direct completely with the
scheme of the miserable conspirators of
Harper's Ferry. He had preached the
doctrine of an " irrepressible conflict
between free and slave labor" which
must 60 on until one Or the other should
become universal, and there was deep GU
riosity to know how he would meet and
deal with these subjects.
MT. seward luily SatlSHeu the eXpecla-
tons of his more judicous friends whilst
he excited the surprise of his political
opponents by the moderation and con-
servatism of his views. His speech was
entirely free from personalities Of any
sort, being as calm and passionless as if
the speaker had no ambition to crafty,
and no wrongs to repel. 1t gives one
lofty idea of his intellectual ability and
sell-conrol. and produces a wish that
its tone and temper. its calm philosophic
style. could find larger number of i'm
itators in congressional discussions.
If the country could feel perfectly
sure that Mr.. Stewards moderation is sin
cere AMI not assumed on account of
recent events. and with a view, mainly,
to the chances Of Presidential nomina-
lion. this speech would so far toward
calming the existing excitement in the
public mind. And, whether it is sincere
or not, this effect ought TO follow to a
certain extent, for, il is assumed, that il
is an evidence that public sentiment in
the North requires that asprants for the
Presidency shall free themselves from
the charge of fanalicism, and take more
conservative ground in the treatment of
the great question of the day.
