A pnat In Prianri

The local editor Is always glad to fad
an in neidsnt or q fact on which to write
a paragraph, but he sometimes finds
such ns give him pain to mention, aud
that he would rather suppress than
publish. But when such facts can be
used as warnings, to deter the uuwary
from ruin, private Fsolinss are required
to give way. 1t is in this spirit thStwo
bring the name Of our once respected
fellow citizen, aud nation's distinguish.
ed poet, George Washington Guitar,
before our readers 10 this conn Octiou.---
All who haye-rcad the thrilling poem,
"The Song Of Steam" (and who has
uot?) or sung the doservedly popular,
patriotic song, e Pluribus Unum,"
will be interested 10 whatever relates 10
him; and If they Sigh or shed tear at
his sad condition, it may prompt TO
greater virtue on their part, or moro
constant watchFulness over the youth Of
their acquaintance.
Mr.. Cutter Is q lawyer by profSsIiau,
and at timcs has enjoyed some distinO-
ton at the bar, was once member Of
the Legislature of Indiana; at the break.
ing out OF the Mexican war he raiEod a
company Of men, and distinguished
himself as soldier. He has published
two volumes Of poems of m ore than or
dinary merit. but for numb Der Of years
has written nothing that has been pub.
lished, Since his return from Mexico
he has been addicted to intempersncs,
at times giving way to beastly drunk
enness. Under such conduct he long
ago sacrificed his legal patronage, sHd
lost his only reliable means Of support.
At various times, for several yOari, he
has attempted to reform, and bson aided
BY many friends with clothing and
omething to do, but soon he would fall
back and sink to eyOn lower depths OF
disgrace. And now, sad We ara to say

Domestic Faults.


A writer thus speaks Of the fatal in
fuence of small faults in the peace OF
houEeholds:
"Hotias are more often darkened by
the continual recurrence efsmall faults,
than by the actual presence Of any de-
cided vice. These evils arc, apparent.
Iy, of very dissimilar magnitude; yet it
is easier to grapplO with one than the
other. The eastern traveller can com
biue his forces and hunt down tho tiger
that prowls upon his path-but he
scarcely can escape the m6squites that
infect the air he breathes, or the aeas
that swarm the sand he tresds. The
drunkard has been known to rensHHee
his darling Woe; the slave to dToss and
extra7asancs her besstting sin but the
Waspish temper, the irritating ton',
rude dogmatio manners, and the hun
drOd namslsss negligence that mar the
beauty of association have rarely done
other than proceed till the action Of
disgust and gradual alienation has turn
cd all the currents Of affection from
their course, leaving nothing but bar
rem track over which the nere skels-
ton Of go npanicnship stalks alene."

Yes, bless the man who 6rst invented sleep,

But blast the man, With curses losd and deep,

Who FIRST Invented, and went round advising,
That artificial eut-off "eary risingl'
Rise witt the lark, and with the lark Ito bed"
Observes some solemn, sentimental owl.
MaximS like these are very cheaply said
But ere you make yourselfa fool or fowl
Pray just inquire about their riss-and fall;
Aud whether larks have any beds at all!
The "time for honest folks to be bed"

Andh he who cannot keep his precious hssd
Upon his pillow till it's fairly light,
And so enjoy his forty morning winkS,
il up to kpayeryi-or else he drinks!
Thomson, who sung about the "ssasons," said,
1t was glorious thing to rise in seasoDi
But then ho said it-lying-in his bed
At ten o'clock A. N.-the very reason
He wrote so charmingly. Tho simple fact is,
His preaching wasn't sanctioned by his practice.

home, nad tortured your hearth Be-
cause you never made him love you, or
gave him better motives for seltTs-
straiut than your own arbitrary will
lie had been governed from the outside.
Authority was gone, there was nothing
left upon which you had power to lay
your hand. Why did your daughter

her the consideration due her as
woman-a love and a consideration
which she had never found at home,

was a nothing at home; and badly as
she married, she is better, and freer,
and happier woman than she would
have been had she continued with you.

Benefits Of Saviu6.

There is = pleasure in saving, in hus-
banding small means. And the pleas
ure is lasting. Great speculations will
rack the mind, whether they arc sue
cessful or not. Sudden wealth prod ucsS
a shock, which gradual accumulation
never feels. A small, frugal family,
neat, and yet having sufficient, with fifty
dollars a year laid away is so much
consoia,ion-a constant consolation,
and a moderate one-snd it is modsra-
ton that saves the world from reckless
ness and ruis. These quiet virtues are
the well-'pring Of pleasure. The rich
man whom asked how he got rich, Snid,
by saving. We all get enough and a
little to spare. 1t lis the ''little tosparO"
that we should savs-not exa,tly to get
rich, but at least against rainy day
If it is not laying up treasure in
Heaven, it is at least treasure that has
somc consolation, and no harm in it,
which great wealth seldom has.

tested not only courage in wanting to
fight a man with broken arm, who did
not speak an insulting word to him or
any one else, but remarkable degree
Of prudence In not accepting a chance
to fight those who were physically his
equal and did offer him insult At
length, sufficient order was restored to
proceed to vote, after which, the chair
man announced the result, as follows
Lewis Ambrose, 19; q. C. Martin, 10.
This was a great fall for Martin, but
q just rebuks for his course of action.
Every pablo officer in this country
should respect tho expressed will Of q
maj ority of his constituents, even at
the expense of personal feeling, and If
his feelings are SO strong that he cannot
comply with such request, he ought7tO
resign his position and let another take
his place who has no feeling to crafty;
this is true Democracy" To do other
wise Is to manifest aKINa ly and selGsb
disposition, entirely incompatible with
the principles of our Government.
Martin received one Union vote and
IA Democratic votes (including his
own, and this is every Democratic vote
in the district but one. Ambrose re-
ceived 1s Union votes and "Nary"
Democratic vote; and yet we are told
that there is no politics in this contro-
versy. Add to this two Union men
who were not at the election, Zone of
whom has not gained a political resi-
dence though permanently Dettled), and
II Union voters in the army who be-
long to the district, and we have the ex.
(, rsct political status Of the district to wit;
il5 Dem ocrats and 81 Union men.
The next time Mr.. Martin is tho
Democratic candidate for public honor,
and deems it prudent to make public
speech in order to secure his election,
we. earnestly suggest that he make his
; speech at his own appointment, and n OF
make an other attempt to force persons
to listen to him when assembled for su-
other purpose. We would alao suggest
that tho next time he attempts to make
votes at the expense Of 'review' oi
the professional character of all The
Uaion Teachers that have ever taught
in our School House, that he review
tho following -
