% * Popping Corn. And therfc they sat a popping corn, John Stiles and Susan Cutlor; John Stiles was stont as any ox. And Snsan fat as butter. And theredhey sat and shelled tho oorn. And raked and stirred the fire; And talked of ditTcrcnt kind of oars, And hitched their chair up nighcr. Thon Susan she the popper shook, Then John ho shook the popper, Till both their faces grew as red As sauspans rnado of copper. And then they shelled and popped and ate, All kinds of fun a poking. And ho haw-hawed ui her remarks, And she laughed at his joking. And still they popped, and still they ate, (John's mouth was like a hopper,) Attil Atirwwi flti> fif<* ntwl ennin? ?!* ,, V* ...v V| miiv* i?|/4iuniwu Oail| And shook and shook the popper. Tho clook struck niue, the clock struck ten, And still the oorn kept popping ; It struck elevon ami theu struck twelve, And still no signs of stopping * And John he ate, and Sue sho thought, The corn did pop and patter, Till John cried out, "Thoooru'e nfiro! Why, Susan, what's tho matter?" 6he said, " John Stiles, it's one o'clook, You'll dio of indigestion ; I'm sick of all this popping corn. Why don't you pop the question ?'' The FamouN Needle Gun 80 much has been written concerning this terrible weapon,no ~ used by the Prus^ sians, that wo publish tho following ties- j cription as a matter of general interest : uThis arm, already adopted in the Prus- j eian army, is a carbine or needle-gun, that , is to say, a central firing gun, being loaded ! from tho breach, on a system similar to that of tho guns which arc beginning to be used by the great amoturcs of the chase. The cartridge is placed in the cbamberwilh 1 the rapidity which is required to discharge the gun of Lefauchox, and all other pieces in which tho barrel is discharged or displaced by a simplo movement. This barrel receives its chargo and is restored to its placo in a few seconds. The firing, in plaoo of being determined by the employment of a cap, as in our firearm*, is produced by tho contact of a needle with the oap, which cap is placed in tho centre of the cartridge, and the movement of the needle is produced by tho play of a battery whioh works upon a strong spiral spring placed behind the lock of the gun. The Spring runs through the powder and pushes against the explosive lozenge, cap or pri-1 ming placo between tho chargo and the ' ball. The firing then is central, interior | and instantaneous. The powder taking J its full force of expansion at a time, the 1 charge may be less considerable; the i piece being rifled, the precision is much | Srosier. xois portable firearm beinn light, j ocs not fatigue the soM'cr, ami being '< loaded by the breach and tho priming bo- j ing attached to tho cartridge, the discharges may succeed each other in as rap id succession as those fired from a revolver. Such is the murderous weapon which has excited 60 much ridicule in so many military circles in Europe, and ot which Prussia is making 6uch terrible use to-day to , her own aggrandizement." ? -< i i ? An Irish laborer, who was in the employment of an English gentleman, resid- : ing in Ireland, was on one occasion about i going to a fair, held annuully at a neigh- { boring village, when his master endeavored ; to dissuade him from his design. "You | always come h^nio with a broken hea l;! now stay at homo to-day, Darby, and I'll ! givo you five shillings." "I'm forever and all obliged to your honor," replied Darby, "but doos it stand to reason," Hdded bo, j flourishing his shillclah over bis ben-1 [ does it stand to reason, that I'd take fivo shillings for tho great batin I'm to get to- j day ?" A man living iu a village near Mobile, j on Monday night, attempted to frighten some girls by wrapping a white cloth round his body and personating a ghost. All 1 ran but ono, who pulled out a revolver and ' deliberately fired six bulls into the head ' and body. At tho first shot the ghost fell, I 1 but she continued firing. She then went | homo and related tho circumstances, and i < parties returning to tho spot l'ouml life i completely extinct, two balls having pene?e _ c?i? j ? i .i naiuu iiiu juioueuu, um mo oir.or lour the | region of tho heart. The sympathy of the | pcoplo favored tho girl, aud she has not ] ] been arrested. 1 A novel way of making change was re- 1 ocntly discovered at Hong Kong, in Chinn. | An American having complained to a na- : i live judge, of a tailor who cheated him, the official sentenced tho culprit to fifty . blows with tho bastinado?a sontcncc 1 which was at onco executed?and charged [ I tho American fifty cents costs. The judge \ \ not being able to change the dollar given him by the American, the latter told him i to tako it out in the same manner. Ac- I cordingly the tailor was again tied down ] and received filty more blows, thus making < pain in bis own person the required change. I ii? i?i i m < Dr. Mason once said to an inGdol who j i was scoffing at Christianity because of the i misconduct of its piofcssors, "Did you ever 1 ^ know an uproar to be made because an in-1 fidel went astray from tho paths of morality ?" The infidel admitted that ho had , not "Then don't you see," said Dr. M., "that by expecting the professors of Chris- , tinnity to bo holy, you adroit it to be a , holy rolig'on, and thus pay it the highest compliment in your power V} Tho young man was silent. ^ If you know how to spend less than you i pet, you have tho philosopher's stone. v * ? ' Secession at West Point. The following extract is from the speech lately delivered by Mr. Harris, of Maryland, in the IIouso of Representatives : Thero was a time when but few denied tho right of secession. From the earliest period of our government it has been asserted and claimed. (J rent and ruling parties have proclaimed it; States have sanctioned it; statesmen ol the highest character all over the land have avowed it, commentators on your form of government have expounded it; and can any otic in such a state of facts dare to denounce the net of sccc>sion as treason in a government of free opinion ? The doctrine ol secession whs born with the Constitution. It became a ruling principle with a ruling Democratc party, inserted in their plutfonn from 1798 to the late war. New England formerly determined to practice it on an ocoasion which she thought demanded it. Ohio, through her high ollicials and ablest statesmen declared her determination to I adopt it. Jusiah Quincy sanctioned it. I John Quincy Adams, in a most icrinal adI drcsa before the Historical Society of New York, in 1S39, most emphatically announced it as the true doctrine. But, sir, I have alluded to this doctrine of secession, not with the view of defending 1 it at this tuuc, but with a wish to introduce an authority connected with a fact which is known or recollected, I expect to but lew. William lluwle, formerly of Pennsylvania, wjsonoof the ablest lawyers in this country. In 1824 he published a commentary on the Constitution, a Work frequently referred to as authority on the exposition of that instrument, not only at the bar, hut by subsequent commentators. His first edition was soon exhausted, and in 1829 lie published a new edition of his work, in the preface to which he states: "In this edition the principles laid down in the first remained unaltered. The author has seen no reason for any change." Thus, alter having in the edition of 1824 laid down most e'early and emphatically the doctrine ot a right of a State to secede Irom the Union, he restates the doctrine, alter mature reflection and study, in his second edition, declaring that he had seen no reason for any change." I would now, sir, merely refer you and this House to his able exposition on the subject as contained in the thirty-second chapter of his work. Now this work of William Kawle was approved of and strongly endorsed by the ablest and prolbundcst lawyers. It was introduced a., a text book on Constitutional law >n the schools and colleges throughout the land, and during ?l... l> :.l n T - .. - liiu i. icMuuuuy 01 .junn ij. Adams was adopted ha the text book on the Constitution in tfio Military Academy at West Point. It was tho textbook when .Jefferson Davis was there, ami was placed in his hand as a cadet and student in that institution. He learned his lirst lessons of secession through the agency and teachings of this Government itsell, and it. tnay bo his misfortune, but surely not his fault, that the lessons thus drilled into him have made a lasting impression on his mind. Ho! Brother Democrats-?there is work for us to do. Wc have a country to rescue from ruin, fanaticism and the damnable grip of New England intolerance, priest cralt and a favored sectionalism begotten in ignorance and nurtured with tho hot blood of innocence. Pray for pluck ! Bo inen?or cowards. If you aro democrats and are afraid to own your faith, sit down and let women tako your plaoe. Wo can succeed. Wo can savo the country or die iu the attempt. All we ask is this? Equality of States or another war Whiro men to govern white men. Equal taxation or repudiation. Hero is our Banner, and thosi who like it aro a?kcd to aid us in g. tting it before the pooplo. We want the old Constitution; | pvcry Stato represented in Congress and ' ihe right to r: gulatc her own affairs; Uni- j ted States Bonds taxed or repudiated. It j Ji.. * ? - a u WH.UUIJ, l.lUIUCill WTOIlg 10 KCCp | eleven States out oi the temple they built in their own blood. It is an insult to Washington that niggers must govern white men. It is damnable to New England izo the hot sweat of western men into cooling perfumes to regale the nostrils of pampered, abolition protected Bond Holders ! And \vc say to the radical traitors in Congress and their nigger-loving backers,' if equal rights and fair play he not given the toiling whites and the many States of America, there soon will be another Grand March from the Prairies to the Sea, which will Shcrmauize New England forever and tint the floors of the Capitol with the ex -' termination of puritanical intolerance!
