Silenoed.

A slanderer is usually bully, and a
bully is always coward. Years ago,
when Henry Clay, of Kentucky, was the
Wing candidate for the presidency, n
stage-coach in which were six or seven
men was whirling through Ohio, The
conversation, as was natural took pol
itical turn.
A tall, muscular man, seated on the
middle seat, from whose coat-pocket
protruded the hilt of bowie knife, made
ferocious assault upon the character of
Henry Clay.
Opposite to the assailant sat swarthy-
faced, broad-framed man, who, appar-
emily, had been Indifferent to the CONVEX
sation. Just as the ferocious stranger
had finished Il paragraph ofblackguard-
ism against the great Kentuckian, the
swarthy looking man said, with sever
ity that attracted all eyes,
"Sir! do you know Mr. Clay person.
allyp Have you ever lived with himp Has
he told you, sir, every motive for every
act of his life?"
NO" answered the rullian, with q
hesitation that showed him already
cowed; Il never saw Mr., Clay in my
life.n
The swarthy man glared at him for
moment, while his face grew backer
with indignation. ''Then you are
scoundrel'' he said. The bully NUT
tered several incoherent sentences, and
then subsidized into silence.
When the stage-coach arrived at the
next stopping-place, the passengers
learned that the swarthy man was the
great Wing orator, Thomas Corwin.
