Robert Speaks His " Pieoe.0

The defeated Ring candidate for
Constitutional honors blubbers a pitt
full whine through the last Eaton Reg
lister, because the people of this Coun-
ty preferred Mr.. Barnet as their Rep
r~esentative. He hits Somers town
ship a sly dig for boiling him, and
thinks that if either that Township or
Washington was thrown out, he could
be elected. Most certainly, and as
that is the. modus operandi, Robert,
by which rejected aspirants obtain
public positions, hadn't you better
have one of them thrown out2
Robert is ESPECIALLY gratified" at
his vote in jefferson, my native
Township" Votes obtained even by.
falsehood and Misrepresentation, do
sometimes make men grateful, but it
is seldom they publicly acknowledge
their gratitude under such circumstan-
ces. We have conversed with two

industriously circulated by Robert
and his brother Joe, that he was a
Rail Road monopolist, and we have
no doubt there were scores of others
who done the same way. Joe Miller
should have been representing the
people of this county at Columbus,
instead of misrepresenting them at
home in a petty contest for an Office
for his brother. The voters do not
believe in being taxed 81 per day for
electioneering purposes.
Robert last sob is that the elected
Delegate may be instrumental in some
good in forming u new Constitu-
ton. We think he will but Robert
don't trouble yourself with any views

people decided that way, and if you
have any more tears to she'd go into
privacy and shed them.

THE CLERK AND TIE DEv1b.-A mer-
chants clerk went into printing Office a
short time since, and seeing pile Of papers
laying on the table Git being the day of pub
lication,) unceremoniously helped himself to
copy, and uttered the following to the
printers devil, al suppose you do not take
any pay for just one paper ?" Mot always,
replied the devil. Shortly afterwards the
devil entered the store where the clerk be-
longed, and called for pound of rasins,
which was quickly weighed out to him by the
clerk. The devil took the raisins, saying, 81
suppose you do not charge anything when a
fellow don't take but pound 2" No" said
the clerk, after seeing the disadvantage under
which he was placed by his own stingy; im>
pudent illiberality towards the penniless prin-
ter's devil, and looking daggsrs at the little
imp, Indignantly cried: .sUhen 1 get any
more newspapers from a Printer III pay for

I am Dying, Egypt, Dying.

1t was in one of the battles of the West
aud which of them our memory does not sup.
ply-thst General Robert II. I.ytle. mem
Der of the Cincinnati press, who had risen
not only from printer to editor, but from,
private to General. was killed far in advance
of his command while eallsutly leading an as.
sault upon our lines. His horse bore his corpse
iato our lines, and the steed and his dead rider
were both captured. So soon as it was known
that the author of that rare poem, as familiar
and as greatly admired South as North, "I
am Dying. Egypt, Dying" lay dead ID the
camp, officers and men crowded around to
take last look at the poet>soldier who had
achieved SO great literary triumph. There
was no rejoicing over the death of this fallen
enemy; but there was IN truth something on
each soldiers cheek that for the moment
washed away the stains of powder. Teuderly
they took him up and when the battle was
over an escort of honor, appointed from
among the leading Confederate officers, bore
him back to his own camp, under flag of
truce, on a rudely constructed funeral bier,
with his martial cloak around him. In life
he had touched that chord of human sympathy
which makes all the world akin-and in death
its harmonious vibrations siIeuced all resent
ment and thrilled the hearts alike of friends
and foes with ncbler passion than hatred or
iSsop1o. .-1ttCHUtNH0 LMYHUeT.
1t was at the bstfIe OF Carnefix Ferry, in
Nicholas county, West Virginia. that Gen
Robt. III. Lytle, was killed. That mature
statesman, orator. and heroic cbieftaiu, Gem
crai John B. Floyd. commanded small force
of Confederates against the superior forcesof
the Federal General, Rosecrans; on the occa-
sion referred to, and after achieving unex>
ampled success over the latter, quietly re-
treated across the GauIey in safety without
the loss of balfdozeD of his men. 80

"A clergyman was recently annoyed by
people talking and giggling. He paused,
looked at the disturbers. and said: am al

for this reason: Some years since. as L was

was constantly laughing, talking, and nsking
