That part of the speech that IS most offensive to

pose il IS that which no wishes to escape from.
His charge of incorrectne>s is conveniently vague
and general for he knows he cannot sustain spc
ciic charge The difficulty is that his speech has
shocked the public sense, and il ia feared that it
will damage the party. Not satished TO get OH

of order, noiseless, and easy Of operation. Its
mechanical continuance is such as to secure sta

workmanship. By the use Of the patented shuttle

THE MUTE DETEcTTvE.-aNo dogs adj.
mitted, sir" said the porter to a CAV Assem-.
blage, as young man and his dog appeared
at the entrance; "you must leave him behind
if you go in" Very WE'LL" said the young
man, "stay about here Prince, till I come
backP-and he joined the crowd within. By
and-by the young man wished to refer to his
watch, when behold the chain had been snap
ped in two, and the valuable time-piece was
gone. He considered the case a moment, and
then sudden thought flashed through his
mind. So stepping out, he whispered the fact
to the porter, and gained permission to take
his dog in for minute or two "Look here,
Prince" said he, "you knowing dog, my watch
is stolen;" and he showed him the empty
pocket and the cut chain. 'Do you under
stand, old fellow? In there, sir, is the thief.
You find it. my good doggie, and I'll get you
famous treat. Yon understand, do you %
Prince wagged his head and tail, and gave his
master wonderfully knowing look, and then
the two stole quietly into the place again.
Quietly this dumb detective glided around
among the people, smelling away at this ones
coat and at that ones chain, until at last he
set his teeth firmly into the coat-skirt of gen
teel-looking man, and could not be shaken off.
The yong man quietly made known the case
to the bystanders who gathered around him,
and had the thiefs pockets duly searched
Six other watches were found upon him, which
he had gathered up in the course of the morn
ing, and which their rightful owners were very
glad to get their hands on again. Prince Sc
lected out his masters property in twinkling,
as that was all that he cared for, and gave It
to him joyfully. 1t would have taken a very
keen policeman to do the work so neatly and
quickly, and all agreed that he merited as
good dinner as dog could have. A good
beef bone and bowl of milk, however. album
dainty satisfied all his wants, and then he was
just as ready to do the same favor over again.

A CURT ANswER.-Some years ago, an old
sign painter, who was very cross, very gruA
and little deaf, was engaged to paint the
Ten Commandments on some tablets in q
church not five miles from Buffalo. He work
ed two days at it, and at the end of the second
day the pastor of the church came to see how
the work progressed. The old man stood by
smoking short pipe, as the reverend gentle
man ran his eyes over the tablets. Sch p
said the pastor, as his familiar eye detected
something wrong in the wording of the pre-
eepts; "why, you careless old person, you have
lett part of one ofthe commandments entire
ly out; don't you seeP"
mo such thing" said the old man, putting
on his spectacles; "no, nothing left out
why thereW persisted the pastor; look at
them in the Bible; you have left some of the
commandments out"
"Wen, what if haye?" said old Obstinacv
as he ran his eye complacently over his WORT:
"what if have? There is more there now

ployed the next day. -

No BALM IN GLEAD.-Elder T
having occasion to preach in the town of Gil
lead, chose what he fancied the appropriate
text: "ls there no balm in Gillead? Is there
no physician there?" He tells the result:
1t happened that among my hearers was an
old negro who had lived great many years
in the family of the village doctor, and moth
ing could rifle the old fellow SO quick as the
mere suggestion that the doctor don't know
every thing. Every time that I repeated the
text noticed the old darkey manifested much
emotion, which I attributed to the peculiar
fervency of the African temperament; but
warming with the subject, l repeated the text
with unusual pathos, "Is there no balm in Gil
cad, and is there no physician therew Old
Pomp could stand it no longer; and, springing
to his feet, he said:
"Don't know muffin bout the balm, Massa,
but dere's jes' good doctor here as dere Is in de
world"

Every intelligent and thinking person must know

from inexperienced physicians in general practice I;
tor 1t is point generally conceded by the best syp
ographers, that the study and management OF these
complaints should engross the whole time OF those
who would be competent and successful III their treat

Poetry.
The Fallen Leaves.

We stand among the fallen leaves,
Young children al our play,
And laugh to see the yellow Things
Go rushing on their way;
Right merrily we hunt them Gown,
The autumn winds andw we, ,su
Nor nause 10 gaze where snow-drifts lie,
Or sunbeams gid the Tree
With dancing feet We leap along
Where withered boughs are strown;
Nor past nor future cheeks QUIZ song
The present is oar own.
We stand among the fallen leaves
In Youths enchanted spring,
When hope (who wearies at the lastl
First spreads her eagle wing;
We tread with steps OF conscious strength
Beneath the leafless trees,
And the color kindles in our cheek
As b ows the winter breeze;
While, gazing towards the cold gray sky,
Clouded with snow and rain,
We wish the old year all past by, rG.
And the young spring come again.
We stand among the fallen leaves
In manhood's naughty prime
When first our pausing hearts begin
To love "the olden time;'' ...e
And, as we gaze, we sigh to think
Another year has passed
Since meath those cold and faded trees
Our footsteps wandered last;
And old complimentary erchance
Els ranged, forgot, or dead
Come round us as those autumn leaves
Are crushed beneath our tread.
We stand among the fallen leaves
In our 0acR autumn day
And, lettering on with feeble steps,
Pursue our cherries way.
We look not back-too long ago
Hath all we loved been LOST;
Nor forward for we may not nys
To see our new hope crossed;
But on we gothic SUMS faint beam
A feeble warmth imparts-
Childhood without its joy returns
The present fills our hearts!
