fer the present we have adopted. Il is mus
seen that there is no practical subject OF dit
fereoce between the two governments The
United States will hope that France viii not

upon the speculation concerning the coudi-
ton of cur internal affairs wh CD she has
proposed to communicate to ~. But how
ever this may be, the United States will Tot
anticipate any occasion for a change OF tire
relations which, with scarcely any Interrupt
ton, have existed between the two nations
tor three quarters OF q century, and have
been very instrumental in promoting not
merely the prosperity and greatness of each
State, but the Gauge Of civil and religious lib
erty and free institutions throughout yhs
world.
This government understands equally the
interes, OF friendly nations ard Its Own in
the present emergency. If they shall not in
terfere. the attempt at revolution here will
cease without infictng serions evils upon
foreign nations. All that they can do by any
Interference. With view to modify our &C

unpleasant condition of things, and possibly
to produce results that would be az univer-
sally calamitOus as they would BE- irr-tTiey-
able.
The case, as il now stands, is the simple
ordinary one that has happened at all times
and in all countries. A disconteuted do
nestle faction seeks foreign Intervention to
overthrow the Constitution, aud the liberties
of its own country. Such Intervention, If
yielded, j, ultimately disastrous to the cause
it Is designed to aid. Every uncorru pied
nation, in its deliberate movements, prefers
its own integrity, even with unbearable evils,
to division through the power and influence
Of any foreign State. This is so in France.
1t Is not less so in this country. Down deep
In the heart of the American people-deeper

it lies the conviction that neither peace. safe,

greatness. nor empire, can be attained here
with the sacrifice of the urity Of the people
of North America. Those Eho, in a frenzy
of passion, are building expectations on
other principles, do not know what they are
doing. Whenever one part of this Union

A Long story nrleny Told.

There was certain king, who, like ma
ny Eastern kings, was very fond of hear
ing stories told. To this amusement he
gave up all his time; but yet was never
satisfied. The eXertiOns of all his Cour-
tiers were in vain. He, at Ias:, made a
proclamation, thatif any mIn should tell
him story that should last forever he
would make him his heir, and give him the
princess, his daughter, in marriage; but If
any one should pretend he had such story
but should fGil-that is, If the story did
come to an end-he was to have his head
chopped off. 81,
For such prize us beautiful princess
and kingdom many candidates appeared;
and dreadfully long stories some of them
told. Some lasted week, some month,
so me six months. Poor fellowsl they all
spun them out as long as they possibly
could; but in vain. Sooner or later they
all came to an end, and, one after another,
the unlucky story tellers had their heads
chopped of.
AT last came man who said he had a
story that would last forever, if his msjes-
~ would be pleAsed 10 give him trial.
He was warned of his danger; they told
how many others had tried, and lost their
heads; but he said he was not afraid, and
so he was brought befor the king. He
was man of a very composed and deliber-
ate way of speaking, and after milking all
requisite stipulations for time for his eat
ing, drinking and sleeping, be thus began
his story:
"Oh, king there was ence a king who
was great tyrant. Aud desiring to in
crease his riches, he seized upon all the
corn and grain in his kingdom, and put
in an immense granary, which was built
ON purpose, as high as mountain.
''Thfs he did for several years, till the
grnnary was lnite full up to the top. He
then stopped up doors aud windows, and
closed it up on all sides.
"But the bricklayers had, by accident,
left a very small hole near the top OF the
granary. And there came a fight Of To-
Gusts, and tried to get at the corn; but the
hole was SO small that only one locust
could pass through at a time. So one To-
Gust went in and carried of one grain of
corn, and then another locust went in aud
carried of another grain of corn, aud then
another locust went in and carried of au-
other grain of corn, and then another To-
Gust went in and carried of another grain
of corn, and then another locust went in
and carried of another grain of corn, and
then another locust went in and carried of

ADvEy rNG IN DULL TIMES.

ADVEg rNG IN DULL TIMES.
1t is useless to dictate to business men
about advertising. We have seen one
horse traders and third-rate merchants
who were dogmatic in their assertions
that advertising don't pay" But when
we look at the fact that they lnngnish in
poverty, while a single advertiser in New
York pays $4,000 TO one newspaper in
one year, and grows rich at it, we can
scarcely credit the assertion.
There are those, among the shrewdest
and most successful, who advertise with
renewed zeal just when others get scared
and quit. We have just become acquaint-
cd with a case in point. Business is very
dull in Philadelphia, manufacturing estab-
lishmcnts not making expenses, some
wholesale dealers have gone into liqnida-
tiop, and others are selling at retail; but
in some of the old retail stores the crowd
of buyers is tremendous, three or four
deep ut the counters. correspondent of
New York paper says of this fact: 81
note curious coincidence touching this
mntter-those who advertise the most are
selling the most goods. noticed the
same coincidence in 1857. remember
various men who in that crisis kept them
selve from failing by extensiyeadyerttsing.
That expedient brought them customers
enough TO put them out of debt. People
make the grand mistake of assuming that
in times like these nobody has got any
money. No mistake could be greater
Money can be had for almost anything a
man has to sell, by extensively advertising
it."
To make the application: The Intelligen-
Ger has circulation several times greater
than the accustomed circulation of papers
in Wheeling. Its advertisements are all
conspicuous. We wcbelieve now is the time
to advertise.

Dad carried off another grain of corn,
He had gone ON thus from morning to

his story with iii1
"Well, well, we have heard enough of
the locusts; we will suppose that they

went in and carried off another grain of

last the poor king could bear it no longer
aud cried out
"oh, man, that is enoughl Take my

tile kings daughter. and was declared heir
to the throne and nobody ever expressed
a wish to hear the rest of his story, for he
said it was impossible to come to the 9TH
er part of it till he had done with the To-
Gusts. The unreasonable caprice of tue
foolish king was thus over matched by the
ingenious advice of this wise man.
