STEPHEN ALIENS POCKET PIECE.

STEPHEN ALIENS POCKET PIECE
Among the victims Of the Henry Clay
disaster, was Stephen Allen, Esq, an aged
man of the purest character, formerly q
Mayor of New York, beloved and esteem
ed by all who knew him. In his pocket
book was found printed slip apparently
cut from newspaper, of which the fol-
lowing is copy;
"Keep good company or none. Neyer
be idle. II your hands cannot be usefully
employed attend to the cultivation ofyour
mind. Always speak the truth. Make
few promises. Live up to your engage
ments. Keep your own secrets, il you
have any. When you speak to person,
look him in tho face. Good company and
good conversation are the very sinews' OF
virtue. Good character is above all things
else. Your character cannot bo essen,
tally injured except by your own acts; II
any one speaks evil of you, let your life
be so no one will believe him. Drink no
kind of Intoxicating liquors. Ever live
come. When you retire to bed, think
over what YOU have been doing during
the day. Make no haste to be rich if you
would prosper. Small and steady gains
give competency with tranquility OF mind.
Never play at aay game Of chance. Avoid
temptation, through fear you may not
withstand it. Earn money before you
spend it. Never run into debt unless you
see a way to get out again. Never bor-
row if Won CAN possibly avoidit. Do not
marry until YOU are able to support a
wife. Never speak evil of any one. Be
lust before you are generous. Keep your
self innocent, if you would be happy.
Save when you are young, 10 spend when
YOU are old. Read over the above max
inns Of least once o week"

Would LIKE TO HEAR SOME Music. -
An old farmer, residing in ono OF the i'u'
raj districts of the West: having occasion
to transact business in city about twen-
ty miles distant, took with him one of his
daughters as companion for the trip,
and also to show her u little of the world.
Upon his arrival in the city, not finding
the lawyer of whom he was in quest, at
his office, he went to his residence few
blocks distant. The lady OF the house
very kindly offered to take charge OF and
entertain the daughter, during the tenn
porary absence of the father with her hus-
band. The young lady's curiosity was
thoroughly aroused by the tasteful and
rich appointments of the house, she hav-
ing been accustomed all her life TO the
painest kind of household "6xins." She
went from one article to another, express
ing unbounded pleasure in viewing the
elegance and beauty of the furniture
Suddenly stopping before the piano, she
exclaimed: Whats that thing?" "a
piano forte," said the lady. "What DO
you do with it?' "Play upon it." "And
what's them tIrings?" pointing to the key
board "Thosc are the keys" was there
ply. keys? what do you do with them?"
''They are the keys of the instrument; do
you want to hear me play?' The girl
bo5bed her head in affirmation, and the
lady sat down and executed very bril-.
liant operate piece. When she had con-
cluded, she wheeled around on the music
stool, expecting to see countenance ra,
diant with admiration and delight; instead
of which she met one that betrayed only
impatience and irritation. "What do you
think of that?'' she asked "Think?@
blurted out the rustic damsel, 81 think
you've been tooling with them keys long
enough. 1 wish you'd hurry and unlock
the 'doggoned' thing; want to hear

help u.s. No; MIR. Hoge is rot working
for principle or even for his party. He is
not working for the Congressional DIS,
trict he would represent or the honor OF
the State in which at present he has his
domici. Not by any means. Mr.. Hoge
is working for Mr.. Hogs. without regard
to the good Of any portion OF the Congress
sional District, of the State rr the country,
or oven of his party. He admits that lie
is not acceptable to tho intelligent people
of this District. 1fso, would any man Of
deicacy wish torepresent it? He declares
(Which, by the way, is false) that he cam
not visit his constituents without being
assassnated, IT 10 would any man of
decency wish to represent them in Con-
gress His just claims upon the District
are as small as his vanity is great His
want of dclicacy is nearly as conspicuous
as his thirst for Office. This inordlnate
greed of Office, in any. way and at any
sacri6ce, is new thing among us. We
cannot comprehend it, except we do know
that it is always the conclusive evidence
of unitness.o We hesitate not to. declare
that the anxiexty of Mr.. Hoge to oust Dir.
Reed, under the circumstances, is conclu.-
sive evidence itself of his unfitness for the
place. We have heretofore thought that
Office was desirable, because Of the honor
it conferred, of the regard, merit and con-
sideration which it implied. We never
before believed it possible that man could
aspire to hold as high an Office as that of
member to Congress against the wishes
and over the protest OF every man of intel,
gence and virtue in his Congressional
District.
The lengthy labored protest, to speak
in tho most measured terms, is string, OF
falsehoods, as willbe shown by tho most
incontestible evidence. Nothing like 1t
has been written since Muachausen.

GUS of expressing to you the admiration

YOU should intepret it as patronage; but
| feel that none of us arc praised for our

ton that it is deserved.

shown, amid inducements to change such
as no man ever met before, denotes a
character strong as adamant, and your
place in the history of our times will be
an illustrious one. Your enemies and the
enemies of our institutions must admit
your fidelity to. your obi legations. Good

however far political demagogues, whose
hatred for you extends just SO far as they

People are slow to think, but the right
thought comes at last, in spite OF prcJu-

through dogmatic devotion to party
will grant you honesty and accord You
Justice. Your forbearance under abuse
should assure you that niche as high us
that of Job for patience. I thank you
heartily for myself, and thousands would
do the same for themselves were they as
impulsive as am.

ing power thus, but tho one who takes OH

voucher for my sincerity.

MAKING SWEET PIcKLEs.-Cut
IIthe tomatoes through, or if large,

limo. Slack it by pouring water
over it boiling hot, and in sufIi-
eicnt quantity to cover it fvo
inches deep, and stir it briskly,.
till thoroughly slnckcncd, dissolve
it in water, and add two pounds Of
sulphatc Of zinc and ono Of com
mon salt. These will cause tho
wall to harden and prevent it's
cracking, which gives an unscomly
appearance to the work. A beau
tiiu cream color may be given to
tho wash by adding thrco pounds
Of yellow ochrc; or n good pearl
or lead color, by tho addition of II
lamp Of iron black. For fawn
color ndd four pounds umber, ono
pound oflndian red, and ono pound

color add two pounds lampblacls.
When applied to tho outside Of
