THE VOTE IN THE GREAT
CITIES,

THE opposition have for years laid
claim to all the wealth, morality, and
intelligence as belonging to their party,
and this has not been without its intlu-
ence upon certain classes of persons,
young and old, so that we frequently
find, especially the young, abandoning
the faith of their Fathers, for no other
reason. 1t is as much without founda-
tion as their claim to all theloyalty and
patriotism, but our present object is to
call attention to the vote at the late elec-
tion, in the four seaboard cities. 1t is
well known that there is always more
wealth, intelligence and and refinement
in the cities than in the country, though
there may be also more vice.

her head upon chair, under these circum-
stances, she fell asleep, to awake and find

smother the flame with carpet near at hand,
failing in this, she screamedfor help, when .
servant woman ran to her, and quickly com.
pretending her terrible situation, hurried to,
tho we'll for bucket of water, and returning,
dashed it over her, and chen ran for Mr..
Owen, and PhysiciaA, who, when they ar
rived, found her prostrete upon the floor, s.sr
He.Ih crieped and charred, her clothing all
consumed, and she suffering exquisite agony.
Every thing that medical skill could suggest,
was attempted to relieve, her suffering. She;
fingered until Friday afternoon, when death
kindly interposed and released her from all
pain. IS IS IS $ -

Automatic and Tragic Story.

| Nearly year ago, one Of the first mer-
chants in the city met and loved woman Of
English birth, whom he believed to be wild
Isow. His advances were favorably received,
fand after many happy hours passed in pleas
amt converse the gentleman at length de-
l,clared his passion. To his surprise and
tchagrin, the LADY, with many tears, informed
him that her husband was not dead. A long
story of unkindness, neglect, naltreatment,
and separate maintenance, was related. The
lair one, with utmost frankness, went into all
|tle details Of her wretched existence, and
ended by hoping divorce suit, then, pending,
would terminate in her favor. The gentle
man, encouraged by the confidence, and eager
for the possession of such q treasure, insisted
ton her at once departing for England, and
bountifully supplied the lubricating material
Tor the rusty machinery eff the courts. The
Tourney vas made, and in the course of a few
weeks the bagatelle of $4,000 expended.
Not many moons elapsed ere the lover was
favored with most tender epistle, conveying,
|dn.the postscript, intelligence of another draft
EJfor $4,000, which he would of course pay on
presentation. The business of the law proved
exceedingly expensive. Two more drafts for
$4,000 each were forwarded to this country,
|sand promptly paid. The gentleman, becom-
|ing alarmed at the enormous drain on his
Epurse, ventured to demonstrate, and begged
the lady, if possible, to conduct the business
with moro economy. The communication in
Ereply, dated at Paris, quietly informed him
that the suit had been decided against her,
that she was tied forever to the object of her
!detestation, and that although she could never
forget the disinterested friendship of the Kind
est of men, they must never again meet on
earth. The unhappy gentleman, maddened
at his folly, and crippled in business by the
immense outlay ofmoney, ended his existence
by his own hand. Long after this tragedy
the real creator of it presumes again to adj
dress the man she so wronged.-New Orleans
Times.

New DIFFICULTIES FOR FRANcE-Napo-
leon seems to no sooner Settle one difficulty
than another appears to annoy him. He is
now threatened with an overpowering militia
nv organization in Northern Germany that
will make France an inferior military power +;
and his own efforts to strengthen the French
army arc almost ueutralized by the discon-
tents Of the French people. Napoleon GER
tainly cannot hold much longer the prestige
that once gave lustre to his name, Tor the
Roman failure, the Mexican failure, th, grow.
ing power Of Germany, and the French dis
contents, all indicate that his Government is
much weaker than formerly.

Here is good article on stingy parishioners.
Few ministers can be useful in their high vo-

A good Methodist ministerial the West who
lived on very small salary, was greatly
troubled at one time to get his quarterly in

number of times, but had each time been put
off with some excuse. His wants at length
becoming urgent, he went to the steward and
told him he must have the money, rs his
family were suffering for the necessities of
life.

A COOP SroRY.-A friend at n town down
in the. country somewhere. near Bowling
Green, tells the following: IA shorttiine ago
couple of medical students disinterred
subject short distance from town, dressed Ii.
sitting upright or tbeseat Of q covered wagon,
aad started for home. Coming to a. tavern
aid seeing the b.r-room lightel up they left
the wagon, and went in for a drink. The
hostlcr observing the msp sitting alone III tie
cold, attempted some Conversation, but re-
ceiving no answer, he discovered how the at-
fair stood, and instantly rcsolyed.to lbaye q
little fun of his own on the occasion. So taking
the corpse to the stable, he pa. on:its oTcr-
coat and cap, and seated himself in the
wagon. The students soon returned, and
took their seats by the. side Of the supposed
dead man, when one Ct them, jjnSaerrimcEt,
gave him slap in the face, saying
.IIow would youlike some Zip, oia fellow n
then remarked .trenuously, 10 his companion.
f. He is warm, by heavens I"

to inquire for the horse and wagon, which.
was brought into town ncxt, day, yhen the
Joke came out.-Lonisyille Courier.
