ORGANIZATION OF A LYCEUM.-SA
30 IN THE WOOD-PILE.-One night
last week some of our tOwns-folk re-
solved that they would make an effort
to start Lyceum, or Debating Club,
and accordingly number of them as
sembled at the Court House to carry
their resolution into effect. There were
some eight persons present at the meet
ing. M. A. Points, Esq was called to
the chair. The cOmmitteeOn Constitu-
ton (Messrs. Keagy and Schaeffer)
made report, which was read. One
of the articles of this Constitution pro-
vided that none but 10hite male citizens,
ofa certain age, should become men,
bers of the Lyceum. The reading of
this article at once brought Mr.. Dur
borrow, of the Inquirer, to his feet, who
moved to strike it out. Mr.. Keagy al
so ''went back" upon his own offspring,
and the rest of the Radical bret hren
followed suit. The motion to strike
out the words aOhHe male citizens, was
debated at great length, Messrs. Kerr,
Koontz, Schaeffer, Berkstresser, Reyn-
olds and others opposing the motion,
and Messrs. Points, Keagy, Durborrow,
ct a., fdvoring it. Mr.. Durborrow
said that he wanted it understood that
he was lone of those who are in favor
of striking out the word lUhite from the
Constitution of Pennsylvania, and
that he would not sign the Cons tuition
if the words "Uhte male cHizels," were
not stricken out. The scene WIS truly
alarming. Things looked war-like.
The Chair, terrified by the noise and
confusion, ruled the article out of Or
der, and the question was referred back
to the committee. Such things may
astOnish our readers, but it is not at all
surprising to us that some people pre-
fer debating societies to be composed of
themselves and negroes.

 If is somewhat amusing to the mirth- fully disposed, to look on and listen at the cyer-ftful twitches and turns, Jests and taunts, witticisms and laugh provo king remarks, that greet the ear every day on the street, tho pavements and around the places of public resort For it so happens that on almost every such meeting or occasion, some sensl- tive fellow manifests unmistakable symptoms of having his toes pinched- he twists, turns, whittles, splits, knits his brows, takes a fresh quid of tobac- co, scratches his massive cranium, draws a long breath and seeks new crowd again you will sec another class, hurrying along as going for Doctor, head erect, eyes right neither elbow ino or being clbowed, never delgnlng to touch his hat, or bid you good morning assuming all the pomposity and airs of an English Lord, but watch him minute, and you find him going to a-what do you call it-for dram then walk in after him, and his toes are pinched. Again, walk leisurely around the morning after one of the papers IS issued and distributed, and look at the interest with which the poor paper IS turned about and doubled up, looking if there is any thing said about big l, or little Il; gradually there is a sober ing down in looking over the captions of short articles; watch the muscles of tho face, when an article is found, set ting forth some facts that reach home :; to the reader he squints, contracts the muscles of his face, moves his toes, gets up, throws down the paper, tells how much he has paid for the paper, for ad- yertisements, &c., but says he will not patronize that paper any longer, he don't like such articles; thinks they are not in keeping with good taste and de- cency. This fellows toes are evidently tender, and somebody has tramped on them and hurt his feelings; so he falls out with the newspapers and resolves that he will quit them; he goes to church and the preacher selects a par ticular text, and comes down with sledge hammer vim upon him, and his toes are again unpleasantly involved, and he don't like the preacher; thinks lie is too personal in his remarks, and so his toes will never get well his mis- fortune is, that his toes are always in the way, becauseh chooscst oput them there. He can't enjoy company or so- ciety, because he has tender toes, and is always ill dread of getting them hurt :; we would advise such to stay at home Gin the bounds of prudence and for bearance) till their toes get well, and then put on heavier shoes (humility, meekness and charity) But we will close this article for fear that some body's toes may yet be exposed, and we don't want to hurt them, lest they might withdraw their patronage and influence from your worthy paper the Citizen.
