Gentlemen; ' have received your letter iir ting me, in the name of the people of Barnwe. to a public dinner. On full reflection, I hav concluded, contrary to my inclinations, to declin it.

Were I to meet you now, it would be imprc per that I should speak to you of anything bt our personal relations; and my emotions woul wbolly prevent my doing that. What could Ssay?' At an early a' I settled myself as a fin ner, in a remote :n'l ,,curc corner of vour di trict-asking and exp-'cting nothing of a publi eharacter :.ind usii:; no arts, but to do what found to do with all my might.

Gov. Walker says: " re.signl the olfico of Governor of the Territory c Kansas. I htive been most reluctantly forcedt this conclusion, after anxious and careful consic eration of my duty to the country, to the peopi of' Kansas. and the President of the Luite States, and to mnyself. TIhe grounds assumned b the President in his late mtessage to Congres, and in recent instructions in connection with thi events now transpiring here and in Kansas, a~ -monish me that, as Governor of that Territory, will no longer be in my power to preserve the peac or promote the public welfare."

Says the Star: "It is said th~at Santa Claus.-the jolly old fellow whom even we used to love so well--ha", with a large portion uof the bu.siness world, fal ien-failed ! His carriage, his tiny reindeer, that we heard once every year, all through the short apron period, even his short pipe, have been taken by his unfeeling creeditors, and of his trinkets there is scarcely any left. Poor Santa! 'we wonder if adversity has robbed his cheek of the flush of health, or destroying the rotundity * of his 'little round belly?' We wonder how he will climbupon the roof Christmas-eve night, and how lae will carry the dolls for the girls and thes whistles and what-ntots for the boys ybout Jreaking thlem. Hie cannot go the usual rounds with his usual speed, that is cr taih. and we hope those who are disappointed will not think of themselves, bit pity poor Santa Claus, and blame Hard Times only. There will be many stockings hung up in vain this year, and sorrow will drop from eyes that have been bright with gladness on many a Christmas morning. May Santa Claus do his best to serve all who are looking for him-and we believe he will." Cheer up, man; Santa Claus is only sleeping, and not dead-wounded by the Hard Times, and not killed.

KEESE COLLECTING. A member of our Firm is at this time out collecting the dues of the Adertiser Office. No one, we feel assured, will turn from him without a prompt res. ponse to his call for funds. Our claims are many, and singly very small; but, all together, they will make up a pretty sum,-a sum that will enable us iot only to pay our debts, but to place our paper upon a higher ground of progress than we have yet ventured to assume. While our many friends throughout the District aro receiving the rich reward of their fine crops, they will surely remember the printer's due, and act accordingly upon seeing our friend and asso ciate, Mr. E. Klersr. AN INDUCEMENT. The Adrertiser, we thankfully say, is climbing, 'climbing, climbing, steadily and surely. One kind and generous lift on the part of our present patrons would take us aloft to the pinnacle of certain pros ? perity. As tan Inducement to them to do so, womake the following offer: Each old subscriber, who will bring ins a new one wsith the cash for both, shall be charged only $3,50 fur. both copies for one year. Tines are tight and every little helps. It is for this rena-n that we suggest this proposition to our sub. ecribers; and we should find pleasure in 'eeing hun dreds of theta avail theinselves of the humble but honest chance we hero afford them. CHRISTMAS SERVICES. We are requested to state that the usual Christmas services will be administered in the Episcopal Church of this place at 10, o'clock A. M., Christmas Day. ' The room is duly decorated with evergreens fo-r the t occasion; and the Choir, we believe, are practising r some special pieces adapted to the reflections of.the season.

A WORD TO THE LITTLE FOLK. SASTA CLAra is already come to town, and has made Mr. G. L. PENx's store the Depository of vari ous articles in the way of fruits and fireworks, can. dies and crackers. But from a private interview with the old traveller, leld by moonlight yesterday -ovening, we derive the information that lie cannot r and will not indulge the little people, this Christuass, as he usually does. ie has not suspended by any means. His ware-rooms are yet full of all the prt. ties and sweet things he usually keeps on hand. But he says, " children, like older peopale, must occasion ally learn whtat it is to be debarred their usual ifidul gences; what it is to m~iss their expected gratifica tions ; what it is in short to be diurppoinalc." We told higgelgho uught to be the best judge o f these mattel-s-he was old and experienced in the - rays of the sall fry, and we wouald say nothinag against hais suggestiun,--that we thtought, in pocint of fact. it was agood one." Yet, with all this unwonated parsimonay, it was easy to see by the twinkle of his eye thtat there was funx emnugh in haima to mtake up fur any lack of gouod things. And althocugh the stuck tugs mnay nor he as full as thtey somectimnes are, we know he will see to it thtat thte young hearts of his dear pets sha'l be as overflowinag with joy and glad ness as ever.

IWe have hitherto given our readers a runanintg synopis of the proceedings of our Legislature at its present session. As but little has been accomplished, we shall give no moure unnecessary detlils. On Saturday, the 'twelftha, nothing cotieusive ap pears to have been done in the Senate. Mr. McCaw offered resoluttions comtplimientary to Mtaj. D. H. Hill, late of the United States Arnmy, and providing that the Governor be requested to procure a suitable sword to be presented to haim on bechalf of this State. Mr. Moses ollfered like resolutions in respect to Capt. Rich. ard H. Anderson of the U. S. Armny. Agreed to. In then house, on the same day, a discussiona upon the Banks occupied the greater portion of thes tirae, whicha resulted in senadinag a Bill to thte Senate, whlich bud hben concocted in cotmmittee of the whole. Otn Monday, the fourteenath, nothing of general imn ptortance was conastutmated int the Senate. In the Hose thec resolutionts of thte Senate, cotmplitmentary to, Maj. Hill and Caapt. Anderson, were agreed to. A Bill :,ranting aid to Rail-Roads, and fixing the amonat uf aid to the Spartanahurg and Union Rail IR ad at $35i0,000, passed its seconad reading, anad was ordered tao the Senate. So likewise was a Bill in re gard to professional gamtblers; adding whipping to the peaadties now imposed by law. On Tuesday, the fifteenth, a President and Dire tors of the Bank of thae State were elected, and Ge:. James Jones was re-electedl Commissioner of the new s~tate House. In the Senate, Mr. Townsend offered a resolution, which was agreed to, directing the said Comaissioner to report specifically upon severail points, to conclude his said report with an estimate of the etntire cost of thte whole building when cotapleted, and an opinion as to how many years from this date it will requtire to effect this completion with an annu al appropriation of $300,000. In thae House, the Col lege question was takgn up and Maj. Perry's Bill was disagreed to ; so there will be no action on the subject. On W ednesday,- the sixteenth, nothing of interest transpired in either brancha, unless it be Itat progress was made with the tax-bill. On Thursday, the eighteenth, quite a number of members asked leave of absence. On Friday, the nineteenth, nineteen Trustees of 'the South Carolinta College were electead. They are as follows: R. W. Barnwell, W. F. DeSaussure, J. L. Maanitng, J. 1: Pettigru, James Farrow, C. G. Mem mninger, M. E. Carn, Thomas Stmith, J. H. Means, T. N. iawkinse, J. H[. Adatms, S. McAliley, John S. Pres ton, J.

It is unntecessatry to adda more at present to this brief and hurri'ed chapter of Legislative proccedings. Next wreek we hope to be aible to give thte list of Acts, and Iafterwards to publish such of them as may be of gen eral interest.

CHRISTMAS. In the year 1652, the Parliament of England, fo: divers causes moving them thereto, actually abolishei the pleasant old season of Christmas, and determine that it should no longer be observed as a Feast Daj or otherwise. But this act was not long after repeal ed by honest Jonx BuLL, who could no more remai forgetful of the dear traditional customs of his fathert than he could deaden his appetite to the teuiptatioi of huge sirloins, rich mince-pies, and hot plum-pud dings. So Father Christmas was "triumphantly in stalledagainatthe incoming of the merry court of Eix CHARLEs," and, from that day to this, has lent h accustomed returnsof mirth, and glee, and beneficene and mischief, as well to the " cottage small" as to th "Squire's wide ball." WASHI1OTON InvisU gives some delightful sketehi of an English Christmas in the country, which ot readers would do well to re-peruse on Christmas oi (to-morrow) night, to prepare them for the social an hospitable duties of the season. They will scar4 put down the book without an honest and heartfe agreement with the sentiments of the good old Squi of Bracebridge Hall: "I love," said he, " to see th day well kept by rich and poor; It is a gret thing have one day In the year, at least, when you are at of being welcome wherever you go, and of havia as It were, the world all thrown open to you; And am almost disposed to join with poor Robin in I malediction on every churlish enemy to this wholeso festival: He who at Christmas doth repine, And would fain hence despatch him, May he with old Duke Humphrey dine, Or else may Old Ketch catch him." We speak of England. And whatare we but En lish ?-English in our laws, in our literature, in o customs, in our tastes ? Let us then, as deseendan of a " merrie mother," revert to the " Good old times When the Christmas chimes Were a joyous sound to hear." Let us call back into our bosoms some of the a elent hospitality of a better day. Let us praise 0 and love our neighbors. Lot us be mirthful in Inn oent measure. Let the old people relax the ~lg museles of age, and smile like unexpected sunshii on the young. (How precious are those smiles Let the young bow in reverence at the feet of f aged, and cheer them with the beaming radiance affectionate duty. Let good-humor, and forgivenic of trespasses, and charity prevail. In the langue of an ancient bard of Albion, "Lo ! now is coic our joyfull'st feast! Let every man be jolly; Each roome with yvie leaves be drest, And every post with holly. Now all our neighbors' chimneys smoke, And Christmas blocks arc burning; Their ovens they with bak't meats choke, And all their spits are turning. Without the door let sorrow lie, And if, for cold, it hap to die, Wee'l bury it in a Christias pye, And evermore be merry." What a pity it is, that we Protestants turn a backs upon those beautiful and impressive religio services, connected with Christmas, which the Romi Catholics observe with such deep devotion ! T iass at midight, ushering in the day upon whieb Prince and Saviour was born to us! The anthems praise, welcoming the first early dawn of that ador ble anniversary! The beautiful ofjieeint Imstormis, which choruses of children are trained to respond the Priest in simple harmony! How well calculat are all these things to impress one with a right sen of the mighty event they are designed to honor al celebrate! with a more vivid realization of the prc eut and ever-abiding duty to thank our God, -w! " sent his only begotten Son into the world that 1 through him should not perish but have overlastii life!" We confess to a love for all those ceremni aind observances, the olject of which is to keep I fore the nindu's of men at all times a proper remei branuce of Christ, whether in his birth, his life, I death, his resurrection, or his high mediation att right hand of the Father. But we are wandering. .To return to Christmas,-we have only now to wi for all our sulis'eribers a happy time of it; mai pleasant surprizes ; many good pratical jokes ; m my qouthful pranks; many happy reunions; miai wellseasone'l egg-niogs ; manylowing firesides mn yet more warm by the presence of "ifc, childr and friends;'-in shurt, may all the blessings ai ejoyments of the season attend them! "CLAY, CALHOUN, AND WEBSTER." General W. T. HIsm., the Tennessee lectur institutes tweiity different, colors of comparison 1 twoen the "mighty dead" whose names are giv above. Some of these are good, as witness the t following : " In forensic debate-the forte of -Clay. was resistless elottuence-of Calhoun. his so.phism a woidrful power of metaphysienl disquisition, a astute analysis--in Webster, of open and solid arg met." " As a nmtmareb,. Clay would have preferred to lha been ain ant,,crat-Cahoun, an Atheneinn Arch, elevated on the broadest principles of Diemocra suffrage: ;ad Webster would have liked a limited onstitutional monarchy." Others of these contrasts are only so-so,-take t1 for instanceo: "In habits, Clay was dictatoirial, magisterial al genial; Calhoun, wary, diplomatie and exc'lusim andl, Webster, gentle, self-i.oised and dignified." The lecturer knew Mr. Car.uotrs very in-sulicier ly, we think, to have given his habits this rather har coloring. Ho had two of the attributes allotted W.s-r.m, and one of those allotted to Claiy ala", an eminent degree. Ho was "sulf-poisedl and digt fed ;" he was likewise " genial." But of' thme wiarinc and exclusiveness of his habits we have now heal for the first time. *Another of these contrasts is so far wrong as to really amusing : " In music, Clamy would have loved to listen to t1 ringing tones of the war-bugles' sounding note ; Ci ion, the multifarious discord that makes an operat harmony ; and Webster, the still, deep-rolling solein anthem." Now, we do not know that we exactly conmpreher what is meant by "the multifarious discord th makes an operatic harmony ;" bet, to guess at tl signiention from the style of the expression, m should say that, of all thinigs, it would have con nearest to running Mr. CALIuOUs stark mand. To man who preferred in music such simple old sonigs "Lord Locuisvin," and "It was Dunois the youi and brave," an " operatic harmony" would scarcel have been pleasing when conducted in the best sty of the "era divina." But rendered with "umultifa rious discord," we can readily picture the statesmi of Fort Hill stopping his ears with both hands an precipitately rushing out into thme open air. We give on,o more specimen of Gen. HasArKLL comparisons as a relief to the last: "In art and architecture, Clay would have fancia painting and sculpture ; Calhiouni would have mathe muatically taxed his brain, in labyrinthine structure such as Ulysses threaded in the rpek-girt isle of Cret where the Fates held the light, and the distaff, an the wheel, when Atropus clipped the strinag of fate and Webster would have builded monuments an p myramis." -- NEWSPAPER POR SALE. The Laurensville Hertedd, we observe, is offered fi sale. It occurs to us that a fine opportunity is het prsentedor some young man of talent and energ to make his mark. Under the direction of Mr. R.3~ Svoes, its present proprietor and editor, the Hera' has reached a high condition of respectability an popularity. We shall be very sorry to lose Mr. Srdmc! from the fraternity. But, if he will sell, we wish his a successful bargain and a worthy successor. THlE GREENSBOROUGH TIMES. This is a neat literary paper published at Green. borough, N. C. There is much of talent and tasi displayed in its management. No little enterprise also manifested by the number of original articlesi each umn~ber. We commend the " Timier " to atter tion, and hope its conductors may find before them pathway strewn with flowers,-we would add with silver dime in the cup of each, but this would be o. fensivo to the muses under whose auspices our literar, brother is laboring. 3# Rev. Charles A. Raymond, of this Villaga has been elected to the Presidency of Chesapeake (Via. Female College, and will, we understand, enter upoi the discharge of his official duties in-a short time. pg We regret the necessity of deferring the pub lication of a fine letter from our friemld "S." of Hama SENATOR DOUGLAS AND KANSAS. The conclusion seems to be, that three propositions I will come before Congress in reference to Kansas. I One will be, to admit her under the Topeka Consti tution,-which will' of course be thrown overboard. - Another will be the new scheme of Senator DOUGLAS, which, through an "enabling act" of Congress, pro poses to throw the whole matter buck before the pen I pie of the Territory. The third will be, the admis-I - sion of Kansas as:an-equal member of the Confedera - cy under the Constitution formed by her late Conven D tion. And this lastis the measure of the Adminis a tration. , Senator DOUOLAs5bas made a epeech in favor of his e proposition, which has excited many fears lest the set tement of this territorial embroilment be again de s feated, or at least postponed. If we may rely upon r Washington letter-writers however, these apprehen ' sions are likely to prove groundless. One of them d says: " The Senator has failed to impress his views of * the Kansas question where he has sought most anx It lously to do so,"-." he has not made a single con 'e vert In the Senate,"-and "as a Democratic leader he is no longer exists." . So talks the correspondent of the to Richmond Sauth. "AsuZrr," of the Charleston re Mercury, goes further and says that "it is a verified go truth, and none can deny it," that "Senator Dou I LAS Is In with the Northern party,"-meaning the Re is publicans. Other uewsmongers write in the same vein 19 of our "little giant" of the North West and the in fluence of his present course. But we fnd going the rounds a statement of much greater Importance, In this view of matteys, than the loose assertions of let ter-writers. It is, that BIGLErt, PGH, BRIGHT, FITcH, Joxes, WRIGHT and T'oI'-so, (eight Northern Dem ir ocratic Senators) are with President BucnANAN, and ts in favor of receiving Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, while STUAuT and BRODERICK are the only two Democrats in the Senate known to be favora ble to the course of DOUCLAS. The conclusion drawn by the Augusta Constitutienalist after looking over a- the complexion of.the entire body Is, that with all the Ad Republicans, all the Know Nothings and every doubt 0o ful Democrat thrown to the sid'e of the opposition, f there will still be an Administration majority of two s In the Senate. Bat will, more probably reach six or seven. is We have seen no computation of the kind made of with reference to tho other branch of Congress, but s5 trust it would exhibit a similar result. o Mrs DOUGLAS has spoken very vehemently, pnd with a considerable show of seemingly strong sugges tions, against the Administration's course. But upon a careful. perusal of his remarks, we can but pro nounce them largely ad captandurn. There is one point especially upon which he very palpably uses the "harp of a thousand strings." It is, as to the abso lute necessity of submitting the whole constitution to the people, if (as allowed by the President) there was good reason for submitting to them the i.lavery ques tion. The Senator Bems wilfully to ignore the fact, or that the slavery question and its adjustment in the ar territories formed the object and end of the Kansas. Nebraska act. The bill looked to this as the one greal he and only question which needed legislation. The re. a lations of "husbandaand wife," " guardian and ward," of "parent and child," were not once dreamed of by itz framers or supporters in the course of its passage. in These are the universally recognized relations of mod. to rn civilization. The relation of master and servant, to as existant in Southern life, has by no means the likc ee degree of recognition. It was to avoid further holi ie issues in regard to it, in our own country and among our own people, that the patriots of the North an 20 South combined to enact the Kansas-Nebraska bills It would have been utterly absurd to have set on fool ie similar enactments upon the proper manner of deci. ding whether those other relations of parent an es child, &c., should becomo a part of the "domestic in. estitutions " of each new State. We repeat, they wecrc uot thought of in.eonncection with is bill. Neithea was any other social relation what r. The doctrinc bof popular sovreignty was not promulgated anew, bul sre-declared for a spqcial purpose,-and that purpose shad refeurence -afoeie t~the-question of Africanislave. :ry. It was intended to have no bearing upon any a-ohrquestion of civil expediency ; neither upon edo. catiocnal, nor railroad, nor banking systems ; but sim. pcly to relieve the country from the one great sectional dlisp'ute. There has been no difficulty in our territ. arica upon any other question ; there will be none But upon this it seems necessary that the people iti their sovreignty should expressly, and through thle r, ballot-box, decide. And we must think that Senatos e- DOraG.As is stepping aside from the line of manly nr. en gument, when he thus ignores the speciality of thc ro slavery question in its connection with the Kaensas. Nebraska act. Merely to show the ad captncdnn usc mis he makes of this point, we quote a few sentences, id which bear the stamp. naot only of demagogucism, hut, as another has said, of "puerility." Observe the do. signed juxtaposition of the terms "white man " antd y " black man," "freemen" and "slaves :" *n, "Sir, what would this boastedl principle of popular te sovereignty have been worth, if it applied only to thec ,a negro, and didi not e'xtendl to the white man ? D~o you thinik we could have aroused the sympathies and the us patriotismn of this broad Republic, and have carried the prosidlential election last year in the face of a trne dcoendous opposition, on the principle of extending the e; right of self-government to the negro question, but e'denying It as to all the relations affecting white men? No, sir. We aroused the- patriotismu of th6 country t- and carried the election in defence of that great prin shc eiple, which allowed all white smen to forum and regu to late their domestic instituctionis tu suit theinselves-int .l stitutions applicable to white seen 'Is well as to black "men-institutions applicable to freemen as well as i-to slaves-institutions concerning all the-relations of s life, and not the mere paltry exception of the slavery d que.tion. Sir, I have spent too much strength and breath, and health, too, to establish this great iprinci ple in the popailar heart, now to see it fritted away by e bringing it down to an exception that ap~plies to the negro, and does not extend to the benefit of tihe white man." eIn all which the Senat'or would seem to be addrnes csing the mob instead of an enlightened Senate. For n who, knows better than Mr. DocUL.As himself, that the abstract question of popular sevrneignty, withomct ife d ym-cird beurinag upon *Iurery inc Kansas, would not thave been felt in the last Presidential canvass ? Or ' who doubts less than the Senator, that the rights of re white smen in our territories, exrcept as to slure proper 10 :3, were to the full as seenrebefore the Nebraska net a as since ? s5 There are other parts of Mr. DouretAs's speech in w ihich that distinguished gentleman appears in a forced and uneasy light. We did not however begin cthis articeo with the intention of commenting upon the soundness or unsoundness of his views, but rather nto enter our concurrence in the general tone of regret and disapprobation which his remarkable and unex ~peeted course has called forth in all parts of the coun atry. The Kansas troubles were about to be turned over to the people of the State of Kansas. The coun try at large was about to be relieved from their vexa e, tious consideration.- And it was all proceeding in due ' form of law; when the Senator from Illinois eomes d furiously on the stage and throws a firobrand among ithe actors, the flames of which may possibly spread to the audionce and forbid that the play be played out. The disappointment and provocation would not be so ir great, if there was any true necessity for this display eof " hot ignition." Bunt triere is none. Every step of the proceedings in Kansas, which have led to the present Constitution, have been both legal and honor. able. The territorial.Legislature was the legal and d only legal Legislature osf the Territory. They acted s lgally,-indeed, in direct conformity with the Kansas Nebraska act,-ln providing for a Convention to form a Constitution. The people wore thus placed in the attitude of settling their own affairs "in their Own way." It was all open, honest and fair. The Con -vetion was legally elected,:was legally convened, and e finally acted, to the full, with all that high deference s to law and order whicic usually characterizes assocla a ted freemen. They went further. They submitted - the only question in dispute among the people of a Kansas to their decision at the ballot-box. That de a ision was to have been made on day before yesterday. The Constitution will come up to Congress, for slave yry or against it, according to the result of this voting. All this has been legal and honorable, and Senator DOcOLas has been guilty of a grievous falling off "from his party and the South in attempting to show the contrary. But for his ill-timed action, the whole matter would probably have been thrown upon the people of Kansas, and by them have been peacefully arranged in the future. With his backing, the spirit of rebellion in that territory may grow to a size and VERY BEAUTIFUL I There is i pathos and simplicity about the little poem we subjoin, which will certainly command the tearful admiration of many mothers and many sisters oi within the scope of our acquaintance. The writer at has attempted a most difficult thing, in introducing- Is the lispings of child-hood into a piece of such tender T reminiscenes. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred 11 it would spoil the production,-the reader would p laugh outright. But in this instance, the thoughts tA are so pure, the image so lovely, the expressions so h exquisitc, that the smile quickly yields to the tour, u and we feel that we are in the presonce of a true a poet. But to the poem, which we pluck from the b last number of the " Southern Literary Mensenger :" o A fair girl stood upon a flowery knoll 0 And held within her hand forget-me-nots; And by her side a little baby boy In his third summer, fairer in his bloom 4 Than all the fiow'rs around them dew-besprent, a And breathing sweeter incense up to heaven. The little brother's prattle was of " Dod" Who made the flow'rs. His face so Innocent Anon upturn'd to gaze upon the sky That then seem'd.mirror'd in his gentle eyes; t Anon bent downward to behold the flowers Whose moist lips seem'd to kiss his tiny feet, And smiled his infant smile of love on them. And when his sister kiss'd the flow'rs she held, I His baby thought he vented thus In words: " What makes you this the sweet sorget-me-nots,- 1 You tiss'em'tause theylove you, don't you Margie I" Cold winter passed. Again the girl stood there Upon the selfsame knoll, but all alone. I 'Twas early spring; nor yet the flow'rs appear'd Save here and there a lone forget-me-not. Sadly she gazed around, while Memory Walked softly where ihe little boy had been. The birds sang sweet disporting in the sun, And soon the fiow'rs would ope their dewy lips, But other eyes than his would gaze on them. As erst forget-mc.uots were in her hand; Her thoughts were with her brother,-he in heaven. t But when again the flow'rets touch'd bar lips, Was it from them a whisper'd voice came forth Thrilling and melting all her soul to tears: " What makes you ties the sweet sorget-ne nots, You ties sin 'tause they love you, don't you Margie 1" BANK OF THE STATE.

SPURGEON, ON PRAYER. Hear what the renowned preacher says of Prayer. How striking the concit! "Keep prayer a-going. Prayer is the rope in the belfry; pull it, and it rings the bell up in Heaven. Keep on pulling it, and though the bell is up so high that you cannot hear it ring, depend upon it, it can be heard in the tower of heaven, and is ringing be fore the throne of God, who will give you answers of peace according to your faith." A HINT TO GREAT TALKERS. A writer in the Boston Atlantic Xagazine aims a capital hint at that class of fast literati who pride themselves upon being brilliant talkers. They were always bores to us after the first quarter of an hour, and we are really glad te find a very clever person expressing opinions wo-have long entertained but hesitated to print. He writeethus: / "There are men of esprit who are excessively ex hausting to some people. They are the talkers that have what may be called jerky minds. Their thoughts do not run in the natural order of sequence. They say bright things on all possible subjects, but their ziz-zags rack you to death. After a jolting half-hour with one of these jerky companions, talking with a dull friend affords great relief. it is like taking the cat in your la) after holding a squirrel.

The subject of this sketch is Friend Tutoxr ox, of the "Keowcec Courer." Mr. T. is a practica rinter, and some four or six years ago, he took chargi f the " Courier" in the capacity of both Editor ani rpritor. At the time Mr. T. took charge of th< Curer," we are cedibly informed it was at lowc eS" not having subscribers enough to more that ive it a scantysupport. But with the zeal and energy hat is characeristic of him, he commenced improving is paper both in matter and in style, and soon -w< id his subscription list containing as many, if not more names, than any paper of its dimensions in the ip-country. And we are not only informed that Mr '. writes all of his Editorials, makes every selecticor hat appears in his paper, and discharges his dutien s Commissioner in Equity for the District, but w< iso learn that he (Tuoxse) sets up the type-of the eater part of the original matter that appears is tis Journal,.which I assure you is no small amount ll this he does weekly, and we never hear a single urmur from him. In conclusion, we would say, if our canting Editorm rould take patern after him we would hear less com ilaning; and wce think there would be no lack of leas, let the "Devil" come as often as he chooses; fer follows if a man is industrious himself, his mind rill be industrious also.
