PRACrICAL JOKING We had no idea
they had such wags away up in Wis
consin. The following. snecdote we
pick up IS an estray:
"Joe and Commodore Roger, brother
blacksmiths, Whitewater, Wisconsin,
have a great reputation for practical
jokers. Last summer Joe bought an
old fashion churn, for manufacturing
their own butter, and as the Commo-
dora was widower and lived with Joe.
all such work as churning fell to him,
One day after supper, the first churning
was got ready, and the Commodore wa1
invited to churn.
Hold on, says he, till | 20 down
town aud get some TOBACCO
He went and while gone, Joe did The
churning, took out the butter, and left
the buttermilk in the churn, The Com
modore returned, looking At the churn,
took off his coat and says
WAL, old churn, it's you and l, and
here's for ye,' and he commenced his Ia
Dor.
After churning a couple OF hours he
remarked that he guessed II would be
cheaper to buy butter than to make it,
1 think so TOO, said Joe, If you are
going to churn it out Of buttermilk.
A few days atler that churning pro
cess, Joe put one end OF small bar Of
iron in his forge fire, gave the below:
three or four pumps, and stepped into
the back shop. While gone the Com
modore heated the iron TO black heat
then changed ends with it aud stepped
out Of the front door to watch the pro
gress. In came Joe, took up the iron
but dropped it instantly, holding up hi
burned hand, and roared with pain,
Pit ON some buttermilk, JOe-iti
good for burn y said the Commodore
as he made mastery retreat amid {
shower of boquets composed OF ham
mers, hard coal and horse shoes.

THE PAST Ard FUTURE.

Many of the most eminent statesmen who have
ever graced the councils of this nation, years
ago. seemed to realize the political disasters which
we're rapidly approaching, and clearly and graphi-
cally foretold the embarrassments which embsr-
rass US as a people to-day. DANIEL WEBSTER up
on one OCCASION while discussing the future of the
United States used the following passage, which
is, in every sense, appropriate to the present po-
ltical condition of this country. None can read
1t without being impressed with its force and ap-
propriateness. He said:
"0ther misfortunes may be borne or their effects
overcome. If war should sweep our commerce
from the ocean, another generation may renew it !;
if it exhausts our treasury, future industry may
replenish it; if it desolates md lays waste our
fields, still, under new cultivation, they will
grow green and ripen to future harvest. 1t were
but trife, even if the walls of yondcr capitol
were TO crumbe, if its lofty pillars should fall and
its gorgeous decorations be covered by the dust Of
the valley AL those might be rebuilt. But who
shall reconstruct the fabric Of tho demolished
Government? Who shall rear again the well-pro-
portioned columns of constitutional liberty! Who
shall frame together the skilful architecture which
unies national sovereignty with States rights, in
dividual security and public prosperity? Now, if
these columns shall fall they will be reared not
again Like the Coliseum and the Pantheon, they
will be destined to melancholy, mournful immor-
tahty. Bitterer tears, however, will flow over
them than we're ever shed OF the monument of the
Roman or Greoian art, for they will be the REM
nants Of a more glorious ediace than Greece or
Rome ever saw-the edifce Of constitutional Amer
lean liberty"

JOHN W. FoRNEY.

In speech recently made to colored delega-
ton which waited upon him, said:
81 believe the day is coming, and that it is not
far distant, when, from the State of South Carol-
ma, there will be in the halls of Congress black
man, abler than John C. Calhoun ever was, and
that there will go from the State of kentucky, at
least as able a black man as Henry Clay"
FoRSEY must calculate on living for many, very
many years, which he most assuredfy will do, if
he ever lives to see what he here so confidently
expresses. The world never has, and never will
produce a negro bearing any comparison with the
distinguished men whose names are mentioned in
this connection, and the man who INDUCES in such
expressions is perfectly crazy upon the subject in
volved The expression of such au opinion by
such q man as FonNEY, shows the delusion Which
has taken possession Of the radical mind, and
men Who are so blinded as to indulge in such e1-
pressions as the above are sufficiently deluded TO
hope for either possible or impossible results.
An exchange, commenting upon the absurdity of
this expression of FoRNEY, very justly says ::
..The combined intellect of all the negroes who
ever lived could not be compared to that of either
CALHOUN or CLAY, and every sensible man knows
itn
