ACopperhcad Catechfsn,

We find upon our table very ingenious
little pamphlet, under the above title. 1t is
| printed by Sinclair Tousey, lei Nassau ST..
N. Y. The questions and answer are all
sufficiently orthodox. Here are the articles
of Belief:
believe in one country, one Constitution
one destiny and in George b. Mcclellan
formerly Commander in Chief of the Armies
of the United States; who was born of re-
spectacle parents; suffered under Edwin NJ.
Stanton; was refused reintorccments, aud de-
scended into the swanps of the Chickahom-
my; he was driven therefrom by fire aud
sword, and upon the seventh day of bat
tie assembled Malvern Hill, from whence he
withdrew to Harrisson's Landing, where he
rested many days; he returned to the Poto-
mac, fought the battle of Antietam, and was
then removed from his high command anG
entered into oblivion. From this he shall
one day arise and be elevated to the Presi-
dental chair, there to dispense his favors
unto all who follow him, and who firmly
rest upon the platform of the party to which
he belongs.
also believe in the inalienable doctrine
of State Rights III the admission of slavery
into the territories; in the illegality of the
Confiscation act, of the conscription, of the
suspension of the habeas corpus, of arbitra-
ry arrests, and of the Proclamation of Eman.
cipotion; aud finally in peace which is
beyond everybody's understanding; but |
dc not believe that the negro was born free
or equal to the white or any other man; and
| reserve power to alter this my Belief, dur
ing sovereign will and pleasure.

TALES AND SKETCHES.
rULFIII.MENT OF PROPHECY

A writer in Blackwood paints the follow
ing picture of the desolation that surrounds
and enshrouds the once mighty Babylonish
empire;
BABYLON.
In the distance, high above the plains,
loomed great mound of earth. On both
sides Of us lay what looked like long paral-
lei ranges Of hills. These lines are pro-
nounced to be the remains of those canals
that once conducted the waters OF the Eu.
pirates over the length and breadth of the
ancient Babalonia. What mighty canals
must they have been, that still showed
under the roll Of centuries, such substantial
traces! Now, not sO much Us u drop OF
water-no, not even a drop OF heavens
pearly dew, even glistens, where once large
ships must have nayigated. Those mighty
banks that carried fertility To every corner
OF the ancient kingdom are now mere use
less, sightless mounds. No morning mists,
molstening the thirsty earth, ever hangs
over them, No rain clouds ever shadow
them, tenpering the rays of iierce daily
returning sun. The end Of her that "dgelt
upon many wateTs" had been brought about
only too surely. The awful prophecies had
been tuldlled, and desolaiion Ia all its ma
kedness, Ia all its dfeafineas, Was around rs,

OPENING OF THE READING AND COLUMBIA
RAILRoAD.-The Reading and Columbia
Railroad is now completed, and will be inn
mediately opened for travel. This road Is
thirty eight miles long, from its junction
with the Reading road at Sinking Spring to
the bourough of Columbia.
The Paris Presse says of our lieutenant
generals: "Grant is the American Massena,
the beloved child of victory, who has never
met with "A reverse, but who is as vigilant
and indefatigable us if he had one to fear.
Alone he is able to resist the three armies
of the Confederation"

COURTlN' IN THE COUNRTY.
By II. HLLIoTT M'BRlDE.

ny II. ELLIOTT MBRlDE.
Ezekiel gets the "chores" done,
lie feeds the hens and pigs,
Tends to the cows and calves,
Then he gets on his "rigs"
Young tow-hcads around him
Shouting to the old 'un,
Saying they'll bet cent
That Zekes getting on his Sunday
goto mcetins just to go holdin.'
Zcke marches to the place
He knocks and Hears "Come in!'
They're all glad to see him,
They take his shawl and pin.
Zeke, after looking around,
Squats on the progered seat:
He hasn't much to say,
Consequently he doesn't say much ;
but all the time keeps lookin' at his feet.
The old gentleman talks
Of horses aud the crops;
And the old lady asks
About his mothers hops
She also friendly asks
What butter they have churned
Ezekiel gets uneasy,
And he mentally calculates:
Hops. butter and things be darDedP
Old folks keep talkin
Crickets keep buzzin',
Sally looks at nekiel
Ezekiel keeps a fussin';
Sally thinks its bedtime,
And Ezekiel thinks so too;
And old folks seem tckled
And keeps looking at each other,
and then at Zeke and Sally, as if they knew
thing or two.
The old man pulls his boots
Travels off TO bed
The old lady's yawning
And tying up her head.
Zekiel's feeling tickled,
Feeling kinder funny:
lie thinks the time has come
For him to pop the question: get a
wife and commence layin' up the money.
Now the old folks are gone,
But Sal is still knittin;
Zeke tidgts all around
And steps on kittin.
She asks him why SO mumi
And Zekiel hens and haws;
He gives an awful cough,
Then he crosses his legs, then he un-
crosses them, and then he says Because !"
Ezekiel clears his throat.
Then bitches up his chair:
Sally looks slantin', like
AS if she didn't care.
Zeke clears his throa; again,
Again he bitches near;
And Sal, the little pet
After knitting to the "mddle Of the
needle" lays away her stocking and looks
as if she wouldn't "skecr."
Zeke at once pitched right in"
Flung his arms around her:
Said that she must be his
She'd not get sounder.
Zcke kept holdin' on
And sworc his fate he'd know
While Sal could but utter,
''Zeke Jones. I'll tell you what 1t is,
/ can't stand it, and | won't let you hug me
so."
But Zckc vowed and declared,
BY all things good and bad,
He never would leave 20"
Till an answer he had
lie declared he loved her,
And his love was CROWN;
She modestly replied:
"Zcke Jones, | would like mighty
well to believe you; but I'm most awfully
afraid you're blowinT"
an be dogced if l am :"
Shouts Ezekiel, all in JOY;
"Do you think would lie
Think I'm lyin boyf
Oh, won't you have me, Sal
I'll tell you what it is
If you won't have me. Sal,
I'll go right of to the wars, and
some day there will big cannon ball come
along and take off my head cher biz!"
"Oh, yes, I'll have you, Zeke,
Can't let you go away;
But Zeke, you'll have to see
What pa and ma will say"
When Zeke this answer got,
He trotted of ito hum
And tickled was SO much,
lie couldn't sleep wink that night
without dreaming Of the good time TO come.
