ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
Messrs. Sandifer and Cozatt, two Of our
gay young merchants, were returning last
Friday night from party which they had
attended some Ave miles in the country.
They were driving J. b. Greens horse and
buggy, and when about two miles from
town, discovered that the horse was run

pitched out and rolled unceemoniously
along the road until picked up by other
parties. Just in the edge Of the village
the horse was found lying in a ditch, the
buggy overturned, but still attached. As
soon as the horse regained his feet he made

Thompson, Jr, of Mercer. candidate for Con-
gresr, made p very fine and effective ad-
dress here on Monday. The Courthouse
was crowded and the dear sovereigns SEEM
ed disposed TO give the "little man" fair
show IN the race. Mr.. Thompson being
aware Of his youthful appearance. stated
in the outset that he was long ways from
being as young as he looked, for he was
hard upon 50 years Of age. He said he
had been a jackson Democrat ever since
he knew any thing, and intended to adhere
to those good old doctrines TO the end, but
Il sent to Congress he intended, even tho
opposed In principle TO subsidies and APP
preparations, not to be too stid-necked TO
advocate any measure looking toward the
interests and development Of the great
hidden wealth Of the South. The North
had iatiened and grown rich on appropris-
tons, &C., and he would stand up for fair
division Of the spoils. lie handled the
financial question intelligently, svowed
that the tariff and revenue laws, and more
especially the YANKEES begotten system Of
National Bsnks had brought the sonth TO
her present impoverished condition, and
pledged himself to use his utmost endeav-
ors. should he be sent to Congress, TO wipe
The latter corporations out Of ezis,enes.
The speech, though, showed that Mr..
Thompson had given the subjects DISCUSS
ed deep Study, and bis manner Of delivery
proved his sarnestness. IL was warmly
applauded. and Mr.. Thompson can aAt,sr
himself that his inst effort in our midst
made most pleasing imprss.ion.

Mt. vesuvius.

Should an eruption occur in this volcano,
and cause the destruction of one-half Of the
inhabitants who live in the vicinity, the re-
mainder, who barely escape with their lives,
Immediately move back upon the half-cooled
lava, and there live in constant fear of an
other eruption, foolishly fancying that the
only tenantable portion of the earth rests
within the shadow of the great volcano.
This fairly illustrates che force of habit and
the persistency with which people cling to
opinions when once formed. For example,
Dir. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures
incipient consumption, coughs, colds, and
all affections Of the liver and blood, yet
some still depend upon physicians and
remedies that have naught but repeated
failures to which they can refer. And
although DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is sold under positive guarantee to cure
those weaknesses peculiar to women, and
notwithstanding that thousands of women
bear testimony to its efficacy, and the truth
of all statements made concerning it, many
yet submit to the use of caustc and the
knife. Again, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets, ms larger than mustard seeds,
will positively cure constipation, where it is
dependent upon dyspepsia or torpid liver;
yet some still depend for relief upon the
blue pill" or huge doses of drastic catbar
tic medicine. In the face of such facts, can
we wonder at the blindness of the poor
Italians?

The Witness that Knows Nothing.

some witnesses in courts of Justice
won't comprehend questions, no matter
how pertinent or how skillfully put. Mr.
Parks, the witness alluded 10 below, is a
fair specimen of the lot. The prosecut-
ing attorney thus addressed him
MIR. Parks, state, if you please
whether the defendant, to your knowl,
edge, has ever followed any profession u
He has been professor ever since ]
have known him." .
All! A professor of whatW
ga professor of religion"
You don't understand me, Mr.. Parks
What does he doY' "
Well, generally what he pleases."
"Tell the jury, Mr.. Parks, what the de-
fendant follows"
Gentlemen of the Jury, the defend
ant follows the crowd when they go to
drink"
"Mr. Parks, this kind of prevarica.
ton will not do here. Now, state,
sir, how the defendant supports him,
I" | saw him last night supporting him
self against lamp post.
May 1t please your Honor, this wit
ness shows an evident disposition to
trifie with this honorable court"
The Court" Mr.. Parks, state, if YOU
know anything about it, what the de-
fendant's occupation is. The Court, let
me say, has no idea that you mean to be
disingenuous.
Occupation, did you say, sir?"
Occupation" answered the Judge.
" Yes" echoed the counsel. "What is
his occupationT'
Ii am not mistaken, he occupies a
garnet somewhere in town."
THAT'S all, Mr.. Parks. | understand
you to say that the defendant is pro-
lessor of religion"
He is"
Does his practice correspond with his
profession ?'
" | never heard of any correspondence,
or letters of any kind"
You said som ething about his
propensity for drinking. Does he drink
hard p
" No, sir think he drinks as easy as
any man / ever saw"
One more question, Mr.. Parks: You
have known this defendant long time.
What are his habits? Loose or other
wiseg'
"The one he has got on now, | think,
is rather tight under the arms; it is
certainly too short wasted for the
fashion"
You can take your seat, Mr.. Parks"
Not a great deal of information" as
MIR. NEEDLE says, in the play, "elicited
from that witness!"

GLEAN1NGs FROM THE MUSE
THE mONEYLEss MAN.
BY HENRY s. STANTON.

Is there no secret place on the face of the Earth
Where Charity dwelleth, where Virtue hath birth?
Where bosoms in mercy and kindness will heaye
And the poor and the wretched shall ask and re-
ceve?n
Is there no place where knock from the poor
win bring kind angel to open the door?
Ali search the wide world wherever you can,
There is no door open for a Moneyless Man!
Go look in yon hall where the chandeliers light
Drives off with its splendor the darkness of night;
Where the rich hanging velvet in shcdowy fold
Sweeps gracefully down with its trimmings Of gold,
And the mirrors of silver take UP and renew,
In long, lighted yistas, the 'wildering view
Go there in your patches, and find If you can,
A welcoming smile for MoDeyless Mani
Go in yon church Of the cloud-reaching spirc,
Which gives back to the sun has same look Of red
FIRE;
Where the arches and columns gorgeous within,
And the walls seem as pure as a soul without sim
Go down the long isles see the rich and the great,
In the pomp and the pride OF their worldly estate
Walk down in your patches, and find, If you can,
Who will open pew to Moneyless Man!
GO look to Won Judge in his dark flowing gown
With the scales wherein law weigheth equity down,
Where he frowns on the weak, and smiles on the
strong,
nd punishes right while he justifies wrong;
Where jurors their lips the Bible have laid,
To render verdict they've already made
Go there in the courtroom, and find, If you can,
Any law for the cause of Moneyless Mani
60 look in the Bank, where mammon has told
His hundreds and thousands Of silver and gold
Where safe from the hands of the starving and poor
Lies pile upon pile of the gttering ore
Walk up to the counter ali, there you may stay
TIL your limbs grow cold, and your hair turns gray
And you'll find at the Bank, not one OF the clan
With money to lend to Moneyless Man
Then go TO your howell no raven has fed
The wife who has suffered too long for her bread;
Knee down by her pallet, and kiss the death frost
From the lips OF the Angel your poverty lost;
Then turn in your agony upward TO God,
And bless while it smies you, the Christening rod;
There's a welcome above for a Moneyless Mani

NEW YORK Graphic: A timid girl
came in and laid a poem on our desk,
which opened as follows:
How dear to my heart is the goat of my childhood;
W hen fond recollection presents him to me;
Inc beautiful beast which whene'er he was riled
would
Make everything fl y from the presence of he:
NY mischievous Nan was the frowziest butter
mat ever did butt stone fence till 1t fell:
He'd see 1t coming-a scream he would utter
Then brace his four legs and 90 at it pell-mell,
On, how he would buck It'll An iron-bound bucket.
He once tried to buck it, and died in the well.
We read it over three times. for it
seemed familiar. Then we asked her
point-blank, if she wrote it herself. She
liked an eye on US while the other went
out the window (poor girD and she said
In faltering voice that she did. So we
accepted one verse, at SO much. 1t is a
very pathetic little picture of rural
felicity, but it certainly reminds us of
something we have seen before some
where.

PITTsBURG Dispatch: A few days
since Mr.. w. Miller, of Uniontown, who
keeps pack of fifteen hounds, captured
an earless wild hog in the mountains of
Fayette County. The animal not only has
no auricular appendages, but no orifice
in the head for the admission of sound.
1t has also but one eye, which, however,
is large enough for two, being nearly
two inches in diameter. The animal
weighs about one hundred, and sixty
pounds and is as ferocious as bear.
