Tue LOVE OF lIoME.-"It is only

Daniel Webster, who either make
distinguished origin u matter of
personal merit, or obscure origin q
matter ofpersonal reproach. Taunt
and scofling at the humble condition
Of early life affect nobody in Ameri-
ca but those who are foolish enough
to indulge in them, and they arc
generally sufficiently punished by
the published rebulie. A man who
is not ashamed Of himself need not
be ashamed Of his early condition.

A Great Man.

George Lippard, author Of The
Nazarine, spoke as follows of Pres
ident Jackson. How sorely our
country needs Jackson now!--
He was MAN! Well remember
the day l waited upon him. He sat
there in his arm chair-I can see
him now. We told him of the puO-
lie distress, the manufactures ruined
the eagles shrouded in Grape,
which were carried at the head of
10000 men in independence Square.
He heard us all. We begged him
to leave the deposits where they
were, to uphold the great bank at
Philadelphia. Still he did not say
a word. At last one of our mem
bers, moro fiery than the rest, init
mated that, if the bank was crushed,
a rebellion might follow. The old
man arose Il can see him yet.
"Come," he shouted in a voice
like thunder, as his clenched hands
were raised high above his white
hair, "come with your bayonets in
yeur hands instead of petitions
surround the White House with
your Iegions, / am ready for you.
With the people at my back, whom
your gold can neither awe nor buy,
l will swing you up around the
Capitol each one of you as high as
Haman." .....,
When / think, says the author, of
that ono man standing there at
Washington, battling all the powers
of bank and panic combined, be-
trayed by those he trusted, assailed
by all that malice could hiss or the
fend of falsehood howl-when i
think of that one man placing his
back against the rock, and folding
his arms for the blow, while he ut
tered his vow, Il will not swerve
one inch from the course / have
taken" L must confess the records
of Rome-nay, the proudest days
of Cromwell or Napoleon-cannot
furnish an instance of o will like
that of Andrew Jackson, when he
placed bis life and fame on the haz-
ard of a die for the peoples welfare.

AN INNOCENT MAIDEN.-As
weary traveller was vending his way
through the far West region of tho
country, he discovered young
maiden seated in front of the door
Of a small log house. He rode UP
in front of the colin and asked tho
girl for a drink of water Ho
drank it, and she being the first
woman be had seen for several days,
offered her a dime for a kiss. The
young maiden accepted tho offer,
and received both the kiss and dino.
The traveller was about to resume
his journey, but the girl, never be-
fore having seen a dime, asked:
"What am | TO do with the dime?"
"You may use il in any way yeu
wish, he replied, "itisyours." 'gf
that is the case" said she, "I'll give
you back the dime and take another

A young Indian girl, who had
curiously watched tho process of
marking barrel heads in a Touring
mill in Winona, Mimi, stole in one
day, and, taking possession of the
stencils, ornamented her blanket
with the words, "Ellsworth'sChoice, ="
and paraded the streets in great de-
light, but TO the disgust Of Mr.. Ellis

The eDeylI,s visit 10 washington

The Devil sat on his sulphur throne,
And heard with bitter grin
Reports from the planet he deemed his own
As his black subs brought them in.
The Fenian scare in Great Britain pleased
His cynical temper well;
And the news from Brazil and Paraguay,
From Hayti, Peru and Sisal Bay,
Not forgetting the late Chinese affray,
Rather iickled the King Of He'll.
But when his scouts Of this "IIappy Land
Delivered their dark report,
The Demon waved in the smoke his hand,
And gave triumphant snort.
''This news" he yelled "is the best I've heard
Since sin on earth began;
The work favor goes bravely on,
The "Model Republic is dead and and gone,
And the powers that govern at Washington
Have adopted my patent plan"
Then turning to Moloch His Darkness said
am off for the Ten Miles Square;
Rule thou, old boy, in thy masters stead,
While / see to business there"
The blackamoor carriers, one and all
Apland their chief like mad
So he changed his shape, as the Devil can,
And up to earth like a fre-etreak ran,
In outward seeming a Congressman
Of the lovely genus Rad.
OF course His Blackness was well received
BY his troop of special friends,
Who laid before him the plans conceived
To compass their private ends.
Thnd. Stevens Sumner, and old Ben. Wade,
Ned Stanton and Butler, too,
They told him of lodges, plots and schemes,
Atrocious beyond his foulest dreams,
Until he exclaimed, "For me, it seems,
There is nothing on earth to do"
So he turned on his heel and went his way,
A sadder, wiser sprite,
Observing "a lesson I've learned to-day
That has changed my purpose quite;
meant to have had these fellows souls,
When from earthly bonds set free;
But now prefer they should 60 it alone,
In separate private hell of their own,
For swear by my horns and tailand throne
They're little too much for me-"

The Mcconnell PlOws,

Are better adapted to the cultivation of TIE
BLACK WAXY LAND,
than any other kind ever manufactured or
imported into Texas. This is a broad as
sertion, but one that can be easily proven
by large number of the most respectable
and successful farmers of Dallas and sur
rounding counties, as will appear from the
certificates furnished me by gentlemen who
have for several years cultivated their
farms with plows manufactured by me-
One Of these certificates is hereto append.
