One of Coughs Stories.

At a political meeting the speaker and
audience were very much disturbed by a
man who constantly called out for Nj.
Henry. Whenever a new speaker came
on, this man brawled out, "Mr Henry
Henry! Henry l call for Mr. Henry -
After several Interruptions Of this kind
at each speech, a young man ascended 10
the platform, and was soon airing his elo-
quence in magniloquent style, striking out
powerfully in his gestures, when the old
cry was heard for Mr.. Henry.
Putting his hand to his mouth like a
speaking trumpet, this man was bawling
out at the top of his voice, ''AIr Henry
Henry Henry l call for Mr. Henry to
make a speech -
The chairman now rose and remarked
that it would oblige the audience if the
gentleman would refrain from any further
calling for Mr.. Henry, as that gentleman
was now speaking.
''Is that Mr.. Henry ?" said the disturb
er of the meetin. Thunder! that cant
be Mr.. Henry! Why that's the little
cuss that told me to hollerl'
Mr.. Cough adds, that in telling this
story tc man who could never be made
to see the 'point'' of joke, after study
ing for some minutes, the man asked him:
We'll, Mr.. Cough, what did he tell him
| to holler for2"

THE wife of Garibaldi was woman of
extraordinary daring and bravery. a
short time after their marriage she went
through an engagement at sea with her
husband, refusing to 60 ashore, and du-
ring the fight would stay nowhere but on
deck, where she welded carbine and
cheered the men. In the heat of the bat
tie she was standing on deck flourishing a
sabre and inspiring the men to deeds Of
valor, when she was knocked down by
the wind Of cannon ball that had killed
two men standing by her side. Garibal-
di was springing forward to her, thinking
that he would find her a corpse, when
she rose to her feet, covered with the
blood of the men who had fallen close TO
her, but quite unhurt. He begged her to
90 below and remain till the action was
over. 81 will 90 below" was her reply,
''but only to drive out the sneaking cow
ards who are skulking there" for only a
few seconds before she had seen three men
leave the deck and hurry rapidly down
the hatchway, so as to escape out of dan
ger of the storm of bullets that was sweep
ing the deck: And going below, she i'm
mediately after re-appeared, driving before
her the three men, overcome with shame
that they should have been surpassed in
courage by woman.

TRODDEN FLOWERS,

There are some hearts that, like the loving
vine,
Cling to unkindly rocks and ruined towers.
Spirits that suffer ana do not repine-
Patient and sweet as lowly trodden flowers
That from the passers heel arise,
And bring back oGorous breath instead of
sighs.
But there are other hearts that will not feel
The lonely love that haunts their eyes
and ears;
That wound fond faith with anger worse
than steel,
And out of PHYS spring draw idle tears,
o Nature shall it ever be thy will
Ill thing with good to mingle, good with
i!l2
Why should the heavy foot of sorrow press
The willing heart of accomplishing love
Meek charity that shrinks not from distress,
Gentleness. 10th her tyrants to reprove
Though virtue weep forever and lament
Will one hard heart turn to her and repent
Why should the reed be broken that will
bend,
And they that dry the tears in others
eyes,
Feel their own anguish swelling without end,
Their summer darkened with the smoke
of sighs
Sure, Love to some fair Eden of his own
Will fee at last, and leave us here alone.
Love weepeth always-weepeth for the past,
For woes that are, for woes that may be-
tide,
Why should not hard ambition weep at last,
Envy and hatred, avarice and pride2
Fate whispers, SO low is your lot,
They would be rebels; love rebelleth not.

The Past and Present.

The Radicals throughout the country
are busily engaged in defaming the Presi
dent. Not many months ago the same
men who are now employed in this dis
reputable business distinctly announced
that the President was the government,
and that any abuse Of the former was un-
deniable treason to the latter. Any per-
son who wrote or spoke of the Executive
except in ahighly complimentary man
ner, was deemed by these worthless as fit
only for imprisonment or exile. In many
cases where the offending parties were
not reached by the central despotism at
loose upon them, and every species of in
suit that malice could invent was heaped
upon those who ''knew their rights, and
knowing dare maintain them" But all
this is changed! The Radicals now
claim the right they once contemptuously
denied TO others. They now slander the
President in the very name of ''loyalty.''
Their miserable spies and informers are
as busy as ever, but their despicable efforts
are at present directed towards bringing
into contempt ''the government" they
once professed to revere. and are turned
against the office Of Chief Magistrate.
heretofore invested by them with the same
divinity which doth hedge a king. They
have completely changed their base" and
history presents no meaner spectacle thar
the party that once imprisoned men, and
exiled women, and throttled children, now
exercising a license of pen and speech
which in others, they denounced as treas

THE BIG ELM ON BOSTON COMMON. =
The Boston Erening COMMERCIAL says:
The days of the big elm are numbered.
1t is entirely shorn of its beauty, and in a
few years it will be no more. The trunk
of the tree is hollow, and rot has extended
TO its branches In former years the tree
has suffered from the injury of the storms.
Lightning has shivered it, and its most
magnificent branches have, one by one,
been Topped. A tender care for its health
has been extended towards it for some
years. The hollow places have been fill
ed with cement. 1t has been hedged about
and its roots have been guarded. The
stately branches that yet remain have
been braced up by iron supporters, and
until two days ago it was still brave
looking old tree, the pride and beauty OF
the Common. But its proportions have
been destroyed The great branch-the
largest branch there was left-that iEclin-
ed towards the west, has fallen, carrying
with it two sections of the iron fence that
surrounded the tree. The appearance of
the wood show that the branch has been
held in its place by very slight breadth
of sound wood"

LEARNING a IRADE.-lt was n wise
law of the ancient Jews that the sons of
even the wealthiest men should be obliged
to serve an apprenticeship to some useful
occupation, so that in case of reverse of
fortune they might have something TO ''fall
back upon" The same still exists in
Turkey, where every man, even the Sui
tan himself, must learn a trade. How
fortunate would it be now had it been q
law in this country. 'sWould to God |
had trade ~ is the cry of thousands of
returned soldiers, North and South, who
find themselves ruined in pocket, with no
immediate prospect of gaining a Eveli-
hood. 1t should teach parents that what
ever else they may give their sons, they
should give a good trade. One of our
contemporaries most truthfully remarks,
that a popular idea among our people is
that all of their sons should adopt clerk
ships, and the adoption of the business of
bookkeeping as a means of obtaining
their livelihood, and every effort is made
to give them an education to that end. So
far as the education of their children in
the science Of keeping proper accounts is
concerned, the idea is a good one, and ev-
cry young man should have sufficient
knowledge to properly manage his own
books should he ever embark in business,
but to make book-keepers and clerks of
all our boys is grand mistake. Better
place them in a workshop, mill, or foun-
derry, where they can learn independent
trades, which at all times will secure for
them employment, and the pecuniary COM
pensation for which will be at least as
much, if not more, than the business of
accounts. We earnestly advise all par
ents to teach their sons trades, no matter
what, so that it is an industrious pursuit +;
and let US in the future be spared the pain
OF seeing so many stout, able-bodied young
men out of employment, and seeking stu
ations where the pen only can be used.

The Mass Meeting At Reading.

The following Resolutions were adopt
ed at the monster Mass Meeting at Read
ing, July 18th.
ResOlred By the Democracy Of Eastern
and Central PennSylvaia in Mass Convea-
tion assembled,
That the contest upon which we are
now entering, is simply whether the Fed
eral Union, under the Constitution, as
adopted and construed by its illustricus
authors, with the reserved rights of the
States unimpaired, shall continue to be
one form of Government, or whether we
shall have forced upon US by Congression-
al usurpation and revolutionary action a
central consolidated government, bound
by no constitutional restraints, and in
which the liberties of the people would
be at the mercy of a bare majority Of
Congress, controlled by self-constituted
and Irresponsible central directory;
2. Res0lUed, That the Democratic party
are nOlU as eUeT the only true Union party
of the land. That we point with pride
to the untiring and unselfish efforts made
by all Democrats and Conservatives in
and out of Congress TO preserve the I'm
ion before the war commenced bv concili-
alton and compromise, the only means by
which it was formed, and without which
it will never be more than a name: that
the refusal of the Republican party to
yield their partisan predjudices for the
sake of peace and Union, was the imme-
diate cause of the war and posterity will
hold them responsible.
3. ReSOLUed, That we will hold all de-
partments of the Government to its Off
cial and solemn declaration that 'sthe war
was not prosecuted for any purpose of
conquest or subjugation, but to maintain
the supremacy of the Constitution, and to
preserve the Union with all the dignity,
equality and rights of the several States
unlmpaired )" that the war having ended
by the surrender of the rebel armies. the
people Of the South are subject only to
such penalties as the Constitution of our
common country, and the laws passed in
pursuance of 1t, may prescribe, and are
entitled TO all the rights which that Con-
stltutlon insures to all the people of all
the States.
4. Resoired, That the Federal Union is
composed of thirty-six States that, un-
der the Constitution, each State is entitled
to an equal representation in the Senate.
and TO its proper representation in the
lower House; that the Constitution is the
supreme law of the land ; that the Presi-
dent IS sworn TO enforce the law, and that
we call upon him, in the name of an out
ragged and violated Constitution, and an
imperlled Union, TO make the Congress
what the consequence requires it to be
the representative body of the people.
s. Resolccd, That we denounce the pro-
ceedings of the Radical majority in the
so-called Congress as lawless and revolu-
tionary, and intended by the leaders to
utterly snbvert and destroy our wise and
beneficial system of government, and to
establish in its place consolidated des-
potism controlled by the worst spirit of
New England fanaticism.
6. Resohred, That we tender to Presi-

"ONLY \ LITTLE BROOK. A simple
but touching incident has been related US,
says the Name Press, in connection with
the last moments OF beautiful little girl,
in Bath, who lately died at the age OF
nine. A little while before she died, as
the sorrowing friends stood around her,
watching the last movings of her breath,
the last faint fiuttering of the little pulse,
they became aware, from broken words,
that she shrank with natural dread, from
the unknown way that was opening before
her. She had come to the borders Of the
mysterious river which separates US from
the dim hereafter, and her tiuid feet seem
ed to hesitate and fear to stem the food
But after a while her fear subsidized, she
grew calm and ceased TO talk about the
long dark way, till at the very last
she frightened suddenly, a smile of conf
dence and courage lighted up her sweet
face, 90, it is only brook - she cried,
and so passed over to the heavenly shore.
