Governor Trumbull, of Connecticut, on
the occasion of a grand riot, ascended a
block and attempted by a speech to quiet
the people, when a random missile hitting
him in the head felled him to the groundHe
was sadly hurt, and, as his friends were
carrying him iuto his bouse, his wife met
him at the door and exclaimed :
'Why, my husband, they have knocked
your brains out!' 'No tbey haven't,' said
the Governor; 'if I'd had any brains T
shouldn't have gone there.'
In 1852, when the Whig Couventiou was
in session, first came news that (xen. Soott,
who was supposed to the prone to display,
particular in plumage, was nominated for
the Presidency. Then came news that William
A. Graham, of North Carolina, the
land of tar, pitch and turpentine, was nominated
for the Vice Presidency. When this
latter piece of intelligence was conveyed to
Mr. Webster, he was engaged in shaviug
himself. He stopped, and, having heard
the news, remarked, in his low emphatic
manner, as he deliberately wipedhis razor,
Well, I do not see, then, but that the whig
party have tarred and feathered themseves.'
Gov. Draper, of New York, it is said, was
dining the other day in Congress Hall, in
Albany, where the butter happened to be
particularly rank. 'Here John,' said Draper
to the favorite waiter who was standing
behind him, <John take this plate away;
some people like their butter stronger than
others.' John took the plate, held it up to
bis nose a moment with tbc air of a connoisseur,
then put it back again in its place,
and observed in a firm voice: <Misther
Draper, that is the strongest butter in the
house.'
Here is a secret worth knowing. William
Wirt,, in a letter to his daughter, thus-insists
upon the importance of the small sweet courtesies
of life. Depend upon it, he is right.
He says: <1 want to tell you a secret: The
way to make yourself pleasing to others, is
to show that you care for them. The whole
world is like the miller at Mansfield who
cared for no body?no, not he?because no
body cnre<f for him. And the whole world
will serve you so, if you give them the same
cause. Let all persons, therefore, see that
you do care for them, showing them what
Sterne so happily calls the small sweet courtesies
in which there is no parade ; whose
voices are too still to tease, and which manifest
themselves by tender and affectionate
looks, and little kind acts of attention, giving
others the preference in every little enjoymeut
at the table, in the field, walking,
sitting, or standing.'
At the termination of the conference in
1770, between Lord Howe and the Congressional
Committee, consisting of John
Adams, Edward Rutlcdge, and Dr. Franklin,
his lordship expressed his sorrow that
no accommodation was likely to take place,
and assured his old friend, Dr Franklin,
that he should suffer great pain in being obliged
to distress those for whom he had so
much regard. 'I feel thankful to your lordship
for your regard,' replied Franklin, <the
Americans on their part will endeavor to
lessen tbe pain you may feel, by taking good
care of themselves.'
Mr. Jefferson made an original book out
of the New Testament, an accouut of which
is given by him in a letter to John Adams,
dated October 18, 1813, when Jefferson was
seventy years old. He took two copies of
the New Testament and cut out the sayings
of our Saviour, rejecting every verse which
was evidently not his; these he pasted in a
book, and his compilation is described as
covering forty-six pages. He wrote to Mr.
Adams that this arrangement had placed
before him 'the most sublime and benevolent
code of morals ever offered to man.'
In proof of the extraordinary influence of
Washington over his oflieers, the following
story is related : On a certain oecasion, when
his officers were engaged at a game of ball,
Washington approached the spot and leaned
against a fence, for the purpose of witnessing
the play. His presence cheeked their
hilarity, the game gradually slackened, and
finally stopped, the officers declarting hat it
- was impossible for them to play in the presence
of the commander-in-chief.?Mobile
Tribune.
THE APATHY OF THE SOUTH.
The startling events rapidly transpiring
every day, seem to have little or no effect
on the torpid condition of the Southern
mind Thp fnrmnr nnntiniiAS trt nlnnoh
r?o"'
plant and sell, and grow rich and comfortable
; and thinks little of the dangers tha,
menace his health. The mechanic labors
on as usual, and casts but little thought
on the scenes that daily meet his vision.?
The professional man keeps to his practice,
making and amassing fortune, and throws an
equally careless glance at public affairs, easy
in the convictiou that all will yet come
right. The merchant is busy in his arrangements
for the fall trade, and waxes fat and
comfortable in the assurance of the glitter
iug profit the prospect holds out. The votary
of pleasure beguiles his hours at the
various fountains of health aud gayety,
hcedlesB of the thunder-mufterings with
which every gale from the North comes
frighted.
And so with almost the entire population
atthe Sguth. Apathy, torpor, rigid indifference
seem literally to have frozen the
thoughts and stiffened the limbs of our people.
Either they are ignorant of the crisis
that lowers about them, or they are too cowardly
to meet it. It must be ignorance?
we cannot believe it is the want of spirit.?
What is the spectacle on which they are
asked to look ?
At Washington a reckless band of political
Thugs have their feet firmly set ou the
-vf A/v?f A??n rlnnlovinrr fViof if
wlieeid ul uimciuuicuvj uvtiuixu^ iuui n
moves only on the condition of an abolition
rider that involves a gross violation of the
federal constitution. With hoarse shouts
they tell the Senate, the South, and the Executive
to yield to their demands, or they
will plunge the country into revolution. The
Senate meets and the sages and patriots of
the Union declare these the darkest days the
republic has ever seen.
From Kansas all the accounts are of civil
war fiercely raging throughout the territory.
The Government troops in the course of a
few days will have to be withdrawn, and the
only check on the hyena appetites of the
free State fanatics will be removed. The
horde of licentious couspirators now hovering
on the Southern border of Iowa, in
waiting for this event, will be duly advised
of its occurrence, and let loose into the
territory, and then will butchery and carnage
go on in good earnest.
Is there nothing in a picture like this,
I but feebly and faintly drawn, to rouse Southern
men from their apathy ? Is, as the
Charleston Mercury will asks, revolution a
pastime, and civil war a comedy ? Can the
1 cry of Southern men, falling amid the dim
i forests of the distant West, with no eye to
weep over their sorrows?no hand to soothe
| ?falling in behalf of us, upon whose ears
j breaks daily the bloody story?can all this
: ouoil nnthinnr tr? stir 11s in our fatal anatllV '!
I ?vv?...p v? I *
Ts it a truth?a solemn, momentous truth?
that the South is on the brink of a precipice ?
?or is it a dream ? If we compare the
evidence of public feeling in the South, and
! contrast the few scattered voices which are
| raised above the cry of party and President'
making, with the vast number that still shout
{ blindly on the heels of this or that delusion,
! we are forced to admit, as we did in the
i beginning of this article, that either there is
| no danger, or no spirit to meet it.
[South Side Democrat.
LAWYERS OUTWITTED.
Xoc far from the city of Montgomery, in
! the State of Alabama, on one of the stagej
roads running from that city, lives a jolly
; landlord by the name of Ford. In fair
weather of foul, in hardtimes or soft, Ford
would have his joke. It was a bitter, stormy
night, or rather morning, about two
hours before daybreak, he was aroused from
his slumber by loud shouting and knocks at
; his door. He turned out, but sorely against
! his will, and demanded what was the matter.
I '
It was as dark as tar, and as he could see
no one he cried out?
"Who are you there ?"
"Burder and Yancy and Elmore, from
; Montgomery," was the answer, "on our way
j to Tuscaloosa to attend court. We are be
ighted, and waDt to stay all night."
<(Y<;ry sorry I can't accommodate you so
; far, gentlemen. Do anything to oblige you,
; but that's impossible."
The lawyers, for they were three of the
j smartest lawyers in the State, and all ready
| to drop down with fatigue, held a brief conl
sultation, and then, as they could do no bet!
ter, and were too tired to go another step,
i they asked?
"Well, can't you stable our horses, and
i give us chairs and a good fire'till morning ?"
"Oh, yes, can do that, gentlemen."
Our learned and legal friends were soon
| drying their wet clothes by a bright tire, as
1 they composed themselves to pass the few
1 remaining hours in their chairs, dozing and
j nodding, and now and then swearing a word
j or two of impatience as they waited till dayI
light did appear.
The longest night has a morning, and at
I last the sun came along, and then in due
! time a good breakfast made its appearance;
but to the surprise of the lawyers, who
| thought the house was crowded -with guests,
! none but themselves sat down to partake.
"Why, Ford, I thought your house was
so full you could'nt. give us beds lust night ?"
said Burdcr.
"I did'ut say so," Ford replied.
"You did'nt ? What in the name of
thunder, then, did you say ?"
"You asked me to let you stay here all
night, and I said that it would be impossible,
for the night was near two-thirds gone
when you came. If you only wanted beds,
why ou earth did'nt you say so?"
The Lawyers had to give it up. Three
of them on one side, and the landlord alone
had beat them all.
TAKE HOLD.
What are you looking down for ? Hold
up your head! The world is just as wide
to you as to others, and you are just as good
as any one?take hold! Remember the
mind is full set with jewels, created there
and only obscured by the thin vapors that
melancholy dreams beget. What foolish
dreams! Take hold ! and wait not for circumstances,
those limping door-keepers of
ruuuwiJ, eAjje.cuug iu s;<uu men mvur uy
standing still?take hold and make circumstances
wait upon you?treat them as your
slaves. Look out no longer from the dull
chambers of slumbering genius upon the
world at labor, but go forth and take hold?
see how the busy millions work ! They are
earning their daily bread and storing away
the crumbs. If active hands can bring comfort,
wealth and position, what cannot active
minds do ? If the grosser part of man's
structure can sustain the vitality of the whole,
what cannot the polished members of the
inner temple perform ?
Take hold and let the mind labor; hire it
j out to a desirable.object and keep it bent
. over its duty, like the smith over his anvil,
i from the dawn until the lamps of the firmai
nent are lit, and until indolence has long
J been upou the journey of sleep. Let misfortune
come; let envy blow upon you its
poisonous breath, and taint your sphere
with calumny; let age spread thick his
wrinkles, and failure roll rocks and doods
into your path?heed them not, take hold
and hold od ! and though you are forced
I to lodge with ruin until it makes you grey,
go forward and let the great object of your
hope be the sole object of your life.
Take hold ! the glory of a purpose is its
accomplishment. Never sacrifice principle
j for gold, nor honesty for office, and never
hesitate to run a race when the reward is
| great. Obtain first by your hands that
which will obtain honest bread?then feed
, the mind. And always think and feel that
1 you are as good as others. Why, when it
was said, "let us make man after our own
(image," the great mould was not broken,
and Adam left the only cast! No, all have
the secret impress of the Deity; and the
stamp of that sublime image makes the
m o r? nn<l kirlc kim n1?inn flio vi nrk f r\ f V>ni n r*

called a Mail indeed.
An Editor's Labor.?A gentleman
who formerly conducted a weekly paper,
writes to a friend who has recently assumI
ed the charge of a daily paper, as follows :
"You must live in and for the paper.?
j There is no escape from this voluntary and
yet lifelong slavery. For now nearly teu
years I have know the willing, voluntary,
unbrok .n service which the true servant of
a free press must render. My weekly charge
has been more than I could bear; and often,
like the slave described with such pathetic
eloquence by Job, I have 'longed for the
shodow' which tells the hour of the rest.
! Feeling thus with respect to the weekly
press, how can I but fear for you, my brother,
my friend, when you bind yourself in
six-fold bonds ? How little do the majori!
ty of readers of newspapers know of the ex:
penditure of thought?of the labor of the
head and brain and hands, which goes to
make up that which ministers to their highest
wants! And also, how many truths,
. thought out with brain throes, pass unnoted,
; unobserved, even if not received with relent
less hostility ? Nevertheless, the true man
I must work, and work, too, in the martyr
' spirit; contented with the thought that his
: mere relicts, when he has laid him down in
j the dust, will constitute a kind of a superj
structure and basement upon which tho
glorious and eternal temple of truth shall
! stand."
HOMELY WOMEN:
We like homely women. Wc have al*
ways liked them. We do not carry the peculiarity
far enough to include the hideous
| or positively ugly, for since beauty and monj
ey are the only capital the world will recognize
in woman, they are more to be pitied
than admired; but we have a chivalric, enthusiastic
regard for plain women. We
never saw one who was not modest, unassuI
ming, aud sweet tempered, and have seldom
come across one who was not virtuous and
j had not a good heart.
Made aware early in life of their want of
beauty by the slighted attentions of the oppoi
site sex, vanity and affectation never take
root in %their hearts; and in the hope of supI
plying attractions which a capricious na|
ture has denied, they cultivate the graces of
I theMieart instead of the person, and give to
" " * ? ? . 1 ? t iL
the mind those accomplishments wnicn ine
world so rarely appreciate in woman, but
which are more lasting, and in the eyes of
men of sense more highly prized, than personal
beauty.
See them in the street, at home, or in
the church, and they are always the same,
and the smile which ever lives upon the
face is not forced there to fascinate, but is
the spontaneous sunshine reflected from a
kind heart?a flower which takes root in the
soul and blooms upon the lips, inspiring respect
instead of passion, emotions of admiration
instead of sensual regard.
Plain women make good wives, good mothers,
cheerful homes, and happy husbauds,
and we never see one but we thank heaven
that it has kindly created women of sense as
we.:! as beauty, for it is indeed seldom a female
is found possessing both.
To hoirely women we therefore lift oui
'tile' in respect; the world will extend the
same courtesy to beauty.
j Ant.; and tiif.ir Cows.?The cunning
i ants keep cows in their stables. Almosl
| every auv hill, belonging to one variety, haf
a beetle in it, who lives, rears a family, and
dies among them a welcome and honored
companion. When the ant meets him, they
stroke and caress him with their antenna: j
in return, he offers them a sweet liquid thai
oozes out under his wings, and of which the
little topers arc passionately fond. So greal
is their attachment to the old confectioner
that they seize hira, in times of danger, and
carry him off to a place of safety; the con
querovs of an invaded nation spare the sweel
beetle, sod what is perhaps more surprising,
his maggot and his chrysalis, though them
selves utterly useless, are as safe among theii
j hosts as if they also possessed the luscious
I honey. Other ants, again, keep countless
j aphides, that sit on the tender green leaves
of juicy plants, as on green meadows, and
suck away so lustily that their delicate little
bodies swell like the udders of cows ou rich
spring pasture. At that season, the ant:
have to feed their young with more delicate
food than their own; they stroke and cares:
their tiny milch cows, gather the nutritiou:
liquid that pours forth under their sagaciou:
treatment, and carry it, drop by drop, tc
their purseries.
i IIow to he Happier.?Said a venerable
i farmer, sonic eighty years ago, to a relative
who had lately visited him, "I have lived
on this farm for more than half a century.
I have no desire to change my residence as
long as I live on earth. I have no desire
to be richer than I new am. I have wor
shiped the God of my fathers with the same
people for more than forty years. During
that time I have rarely been absent from the
sanctuary on the Sabbath, and have nevei
lost one communion season. I have nevei
been confined to my bed by sickness a single
day. The blessings of God have beer
richly spread around me, and I made up mj
mind long ago that if I wished to be happiei
I must have more religion."
Invet.vion of Stays.?Tradition insists
that corsets were first invented by a brutal
butcher of the thirteenth century, as a punishment
for his wife. She war very loqua
j cious, and finding nothing would cure, he
1 put a pair of stays on her in order to take
j away her breath, and so prevent her, as h(
thought, from talking. This cruel punish
ment was inflicted by other heartless husbands,
till at last there was scarcely a wife
! in London who was not condemned to the
| like infliction. The punishment became s<

! universal ai last rnai me lacues, in meir ae
fence, made a fashion of it, and so it ha:
continued to the present day.
Power of Instinct.?The sluggish set
turtle loves her home. A huge creature ol
this kind was caught by English sailors neai
the island of Ascension, who burnt a name
| and date into its upper shell. On the waj
j to England it fell sick, and from the sheei
piety it was thrown overboard in the English
i channel. Two years later the same turtle
; was captured once more, now quite well,
| near its old home, Ascension. What strange
j and inexplicable home sickness carried the
; slow heartless creature 4,000 miles bach
| through "the ocean where there is no track
; and no high roads ?"?Putnam.
??
I Bfig" A beautiful superstitions prevails a>
mong the Seneca tribe of Indians. Wher
i an Indian maiden dies, they imprison a
| young bird until in first begins to try its
I powers of song, and then loading it with
| kisses and caresses, they loose its bonds ovei
: the grave, in the belief that it will not fold
its wings nor close its eyes uutil it has fiowc
to the spirit laud and delivered its precious
burden to the loved and lost. It is not unfrequent
to see twenty or thirty birds let loose
over one grave.

Affection.?"James, do you love youi

"Yos. sir."
"Well, show me how you love her."
The boy stood still, not knowing what to
do.
"James, how do I express my love lbi

"Oh! you give her some bank bills, bat
I ain't got any."
Indian and White Marriage.?Yes!
terday afternoon one of the Creek Indians

by the Eev. George W. Samson,
united in matrimony to a young lady of this

THE PRINCETON PRESS,
v . . .
THE design of the inventor was to go' up a Press
which would answer retry requirement of the
offer made by Geoiuie Ebvoe, *f New York, in
1851,-viz: cheap, light, easily managed, and capable
of throwing off at least 500 sheets per honr.
This Press will throw off from 500 to 800 sheets
per hour, doing the work equal to any Cylinder
Press. The bed stands about 80 inches from the
floor, aud is the most convenient of all Presses to
make ready the form on. It is adapted to jobbing,
or book work, as well as newspaper, and will register
as well as any other Cylinder Press. It
requires, to work it, a man to turn the fly wheel
and a boy to feed the sheets.
The Inking Apparatus is very complete, and
differs from the apparatus used in Cylinder Presses
generally, being more like that used jn the
Power Platen Presses. Two rollers pass, over
the form twice to each impressioD, taking ink for
each sheet. -j,.- '
A Press of this description for newspaper and
i jobbing, bed 44 by 28} inches, with roller mould,
I roller stocks, blanket, flying and registering apparatus,
&c., complete, will be furnished for $500.
If intended for book work chiefly, an extra ink
i fountain will be furnished for $20. The nress.
! fly wheel, &c.,will weigh about 2000 pound;. The
sides, &c., ax e iron. Length of frame, seven feet
?height, to front edge of feed board, three feet
| six inches. Any size made to order.
| The following is the list of Sizes and Prices aa
' far as established:
Bed 28 by 20, $400. Bed 48 by 31, $5.80
" 30 24, 450. " 50 32, _. 600.
" 44 28J, 500. "62. 82, - 026,
" 40 30* 540.
The beds will tuke chases their full breadth;
i and'within two inches of the length.
Terms.?Oue-half, cash : one half, note, at 4
{months, with approved security; or 2J per cent
! discount for cash.
Boxing and Cartage, $13.
For more than three years the inventor of the
! above Press has beeu improving it, working it all
; the wliilo, and ascertaining, with great care and ex!
pease, tho best mode of enrfying out all the details
, ?and he flatters himself he has succeeded in. pcr1
fecting it; and iH now manufacturing the Px-oss
i himself. No Press will leave his premises without
; being thoroughly tested, and without it performs
to the eutire satisfaction of the purchaser.

MORGANTON, N. C.
rpHIS ESTABLISHMENT continues open for
_L the reception of the travelling public. It is
located beyond the noiso and bustle of the Court
Square, and the disorder of the drinking houses
in that vicinity; yet it is sufficiently near the public
square for all purposes of business. Its character
as a FIRST CLASS HOTEL, its.admirable
situation with regard to coolness and quietness;
its elevated position, from which the finest mountain
views may be enjoyed, and to which the
mountain breezes fresh and unobstructed have
access, are too well known to require further com- \
mendation. The proprietor has added to its comforts
and conveniences, and he trusts to merit and
hopes to receive a continuation of the public patronage
which he has hitherto enjoyed.
