Jnrashg feeing. . * y> A STUMP SPEECH Tbe following specimen of quaint humor we find in ope of our exchanges, under the head of "California correspondence." It purports to have been delivered by a stump candidate at San Francisco: 'Fellow-Republicana and Fellow Suffer*r^.< I am a plain and modest man, born at an fearly period of my existence, which great event oocurred at home obo night, when my mother was out. I have struggled from the obscurity, to which an unlucky star had doomed me, tUTI have risen like a bright exhalation in the evening to the summit of human greatness and grandeur. Gentlemen, f profess no principles?unfortunately I hpve none. On the unhappy occasion of my birth, a dismal and melancholy man, clothed in the sombre hues of morning, swapped me for another baby, and subsequently lost me at a raffle. Sad event! But who can control his fate ? "We are the creatures of destine?(there is a divinitv that shapes our ends, rough hew them how we will.' *2 was intended by nature "for a great statesman.

Excuse me, gentleman, J except only the rainy season and the time when the dust flies. v ^ We love our native land?we honor her and would rob the custom house if we bad a fair show.

And, now with t parting blessing upon the girls we left behind us, we will adjourn and take a private drink.' GEORGIA COURT?A RICH SCENE. . After a well known Georgia Solicitor General had administered the usual oath to the grand and petit jnrorsand bailiffs, he turned to the presiding Judge and remarked: - "Sal.?May it please your honor, I do not Remember any form of oatb to be administered to the lobby bailiffs, but by your permission, I think ? can frame one, that wiil be satisfactory to the Court. Judge*-r-PTOooed, Mr. Solicitor. Sol,?Put your hand on the book. Whereupon a tall, lean, vinegar-faced son of Anakes stepped up and promptly grabbed the book. Sol.?You do solemnly swear in the presence of this Court and us lawyers, that you will take your positioo in the lobby, and there remain with yonr eyes skinned, during the entire session of this Court. Th^ you will not suffer any one to speak above a low whisper, and if any one shall dare do so in presence of your royal highness you will vociferously exclaim, "Silence in the lobby !" and if further order is not immediately restored, you swear that you will, by one ponderous blow of your fist, planted between the peepers of the offender, knock him (-own. All this you will do to the best of your skill and knowledge, so help you God? The bailiff took the position assigned him, and immediately after the Court was organized, Tom Diggers, who looked as green as young gourds, walked into the room wearing brogans No. 11, and his hands thrust deep into his pockets, and enquired, "Hello, fellows, where iu the thunder is Jim Snellins?" "Silence in the lobby !" roared the outraged official. Brogans.?You must be an all fired, tarsal fool*and ef ye jest open that bread trap of your'n agin, your mamma won't know yc. Whereupon Jim Jams, the bailiff, let fly the dogs of war, and greeny fell flat of his back, with his pedestals at an angle of forty degrees in the air. He grabbed greeny by the seat of his trowsers, and dragged him | wrong end foremost into the presence of his | Honor, the presiding Judge, and said : T.?J?a Kono'a fKof r?orno/1 infnrrifll ! "IUI.

Judge.?Turn him loose, Mr. Bailiff, and j accept the thanks of the Court for the prompt j discharge of your official duties. Exit greeny with eyes large as saucers. Our Natural Boundaries.?A Naval J Officer's Definition.?The followingsto-! ry, in the New Hampshire Patriot, is from the pen of ex-President Pierce : Capt. , of the United States Navy, was equally distinguished for his eccentrici-! ty of manner and for his proficiency in seamamship. On one occasion, during a cruise in the Mediterranean, he so acquitted him- j self as to induce some English and French ! officers, who were engaged upon similar ser-; vice, (cruising) to tender him a compliment ary dinner, as an evidence of their appreci-; ation of his professional skill. At the time j mmrnmamaimmmmtmieuma courtesies were being exchanged, end international toasts and sentiments were being liberal!j indulged in, accompanied by cor-, responding potations, when one of the officers in her Majesty's service having become somewhat oblivious, remarked with characteristic brusqueness: ' Captain, I have but one great objection to your countrymen." %"Ah !" naively said the Captain, "what is that?" ? "An insatiable desire for the acquisition of territory." Then becoming excited by his subject, he continued?"I am satisfied, Captain, there will be no end to it." "Oh, yes," quaintly and coolly replied the Captain. . - - . r "For God's sake, when ?" emphatically enquired the officer. * "When," responded the Captain, preserving his equanimity, "we reach our natural boundaries/' ? . "Will you please inform me where those may be ?" interrogated the English officer, sarcastically. "Where ?" said the Captain, assuming an inimitable manner, "from h?1 to the Aurora Berealis!" Timely Warning.?A Yankee editor thus confessed to have dealings with Satan, for the good of his readers, of course: I was sitting in my study, when I heard a knock at the door. 'Come in," said I; when the door opened, and who should walk in but?Satan ! 'How d'ye do ?' said he. 'Pretty well,' said I. 'What are you about, preparing your leader?' 'Yes,' said I. , .v 'Ah, I dare say you think you are doing a great deal of good ?' .. 'Well, not so much as I oould wish; bnt a little good, I hope,' said I. 'You have a large lot of leaders?' said he. 'Well, pretty well for that,' said I. . . 'And I dare say you are pretty proud of them,' remarked Satan. 'No, I am not, for not one half of them pay for their papers!' 'You don't say so!' he exclaimed. 'Yes, that I do; not one half of them pay for their papers ?' , ?.... 'Well,' said he, 'then they are an immoral lot; but let me have the list, I think I can do a trifle myself with such people.' ? Gavt it Up.?Henry Clay Dean, who was at one time chaplain to Congress, had very strong objections to the custom of the members of his congregation, looking around when any one entered the church. Being, worried, one afternoon, by this turning practice in his congregation, Mr. Dean stopped in his sermon and said : "Now listen to. me, and I'll tell you who the people are, as each one of them comes in." : 1 - * ' \ . He then went on with his discourse until a gentleman entered, when, he bawled out like an usher : * 'Deacon A , who keeps a shop over the way,' then went on with his sermon. Presently another man passed up the aisle, and he gave his name, residence, and occupation; so he continued for some time. At length some one entered the door who was unknown to Mr. Dean, when he cried out: ' ? *;* * : ' | 'A little old man, witb a drab coat and an old white hat; don't know him, look for yourselves:". . Vra<v.-. That congregation was cured. sjelfcing a Judge*?Bob Harper who lived on Kittle Creek, in Wilkes County, Georgia, was fined five dollars by Judge Dooley during court week. Bob was a wag, and he said he would have the worth of his money out of the Judge. It. happened the Judge was on his. circuit (on horseback in those days,) and passing by Bob's house on the creek, which was swollen by a heavy Tain, he wanted to know if the *creek was swimming. "I reckon it is," said Bob, "you will get a cold bath if you try it." t "I'll strip and make my horse swim it if you will go up the creek and-bring my clothes over," said the Judge. .. Off went his nether garments and over went the Judge, his horse not going over^his knees?the creek being broad but shallow. As the Judge got over, several persons were enjoying the fun from a store piazza, neither Bob nor hisclothes making their appearance. The Judge was wrathy, cold and shivering. Bob was still on his side of the creek, and bawled out, "Judge you can have your brtffechcs for five dollars." "Bring them over," said the Judge:? I'm sold; you may fight at the next court all the week, and I'll not fine you at all." You'vr Got me Agin.?A ignorant actor, dentist and Phrenological and animalmagnetism lecturer, who has tried the entire j range of humbug, finally presents himself I before a convocation of school-examiners in an obscure town in the Far West. The questioners proceed first to test his knowledge of general history: 'In what era, Mr Flipkins, did Napoleon Bonaparte flourish ?' "How's that?" asks Mr. F. in reply, "won't you jest repeat that question ?" "Certainly, sir; in what age did Bonaparte, the warrior, reign ? "Umph," rejoins the proposed pedagogue, with an insinuating smile, "you've got me there, gentlemen." "Never, mind dootor, about particulrrs," 6aid one of the oommittee to a fellow member. "Let me ask him the same question in a leetle different form. You hear'n the fust question, Mr. Flipkins; now, was it before or after Christ ?" "Can I have the Question asrin ?" asked Mr. F., "I'm fraid I didn't take it 'zactly as 'twas put." The querist r^eated the question. The ex-dentist and lecturer scratched his head, looked imploringly first at one examiner and then at the other, and made answer: "Well re-ally, gentlemen, you've got me agin ! couldn't say, re-ally !" tii#> ? A Flying Guess.?An Irish bricklayer was one day brought to the Edinburg imfirmary severely injured by a fall from a housetop. The medical man in attendance asked the sufferer at what time the accident occurred. 'Two o'clock, yer honor," was the brief! reply. Ou being asked how he came to fix the hour so accurately, he answered? 'Because I saw the people at dinner, ' through a window, as I was coming down !" j >^ ^ Li__. 1 ', j '* ' OLD AGE. ' It is pleasant to look upon those whom old age has furrowed with many years. They tell us of lives well-spent, when in addition to years the ruddiness of health still lingers, doth to depart, upon the shrunken cheeks. Old age is the Alpine height of life, from which the soul looks down through the long vista of the past upon deeds that have added to the happiness of. the race. The good man who has seen the sun rise and set npon his generation, and who is ready with patriarch hand to bless the world, and smiling, bid it good night forever, is a noble monument to look at. Rarely do men of turbulent souls live that u 1 - - > l J?t J period wben tney can say we nave emuraceu Old Age 5 and are thence prepared to go willingly to the silent chambers of the dead, there to prepare themselves for that journey into the unknown regions of eternity which all must take. Only the good grow old. It is only they who, loving truth?who, having rested confidently upon lofty assurances and holy par- j poses, gradually pass from stage to stage in Life's great journey?enjoy what may be truly called a "sweet old age"?an age that is full of honor and glory. We all respect the age. No one, however, uncouth his nature, but feels in the presence of the snow-crown patriarch as if there were i something of Heaven near unto him. Such a one knows that one life at least has been well spent?that a soldier, full of honor, has retired from the battle of the world, and is now calmly awaiting the hour when he shall be summoned to his reward; and that, when he does depart, there are those who will not sogn forget his place even in the narrow circle in which for the last time he saw tho sud, so typical of his career, go down forever. Remarking upon sweet old age, a writer has well said, "God sometimes gives to man guiltless and holy second ohildhood, in which the soul beoomes childlike, not childish? and the faculties, in full fruit and ripeness, ? 11 ? ? ?r /iaaott 1q arc menuWj wituuut oi^u yi j. that fought for land of Beulah, where they who have travelled manfully the Christian way, abide awhile, to show the world a perfect manhood.

Thrice blessed the family that nambers among it one of those not yet ascended saints 1 G-entle are they and tolerant, and apt to play with little children, easy to be pleased with little pleasures/' . ??>?? The Swing as a Cube of Consumption.?I wish to say a few words to "whom it may concern" on the use of the swing? one of the gymnastic exercises?as a preventative and core of pulmonary disease.; I mean the suspending of the body by the hands by means of a strong rope or chain fastened to a beam at one end and at the other a stick three fcet long, convenient to grasp with the hands. Tho rope should be fastened to the centre of the stick, which should hang six or eight inches above the head. Let a person grasp this stick, with the hands two or three feet apart, and swing very moderately at first?perhaps only bear the weight, if very weak?and gradually increase, as the muscles gain strength from the exercise, until it may be freely used from three ta five times daily. The connexion of the arms with the body (with the exception of the clavicle, with the sternum or breast bone) being a muscular attachment to-the ribs, the effeot of this exercise is to elevate the ribs and enlarge the chost: and, as nature allows no vacuum, the lungu expand to fill the cavity, increasing the volume of air?the'natnral purifier of the blood ?and preventing congestion or the deposit of tuberculous matter. I have presciibed the above for all cases of hemorrage of the lungs and threatened consumption for thirtyfive years, and have been able to increase the measure of. the chest from two to four inches within a few months, and always with good results. But especially as a preventative would I recommend this exercipe. Let those who love life cultivate a well-formed, capacious chest. The student, the merchant, the sedentary, the youDg of both sexes?aye, all should have a swing upon which to stretch themselves daily; and I am morally certain that if this were to be practiced by the rising generation, in a dress allowing a free and foil development cf the body, thousands, yes, tens of thousand vrould be saved from the ravages of that opprobrium medicorum, consumption. LAWSON LONG, M. D. Ilolyoke, June, 8, 1859. [Springfield Mass., Republican. Holmes, an American poet, discoursing of the eyes of rival lady-loves, exclaims: "The bright black eye, the melting blue, I cannot choose betwixt the two !" The choice has puzzled many a man before and since. Black eyes arc the more brilliant; blue eyes the more winning.? Black eyes flash; bine eyes languish. Black eyes are passionate; blue eyes are tender.? Black eyes are most abundant in France, Italy and Spain; blue eyes in England and Germany. Except some of the early Norman kings, and except also Charles II. (a great sinner and voluptuary,) all the aovereigns of England had blue eyes. But the fact is not much to the credit of the azure, everything considered. The Saxon race, it is worth noting, are a bine-eyed raoe; so that a blue eye is no sign of weakness. It is said that all the Presidens of the United States, except Gen. Harrison, had blue eyes. Among the great men of the world the blue eyes apppear to have been predominant.? Socrates, Shakespeare, Locke, Bacon, Milton, Goethe, Franklin and Napoleon, all had blue eyes. So also, according to tradition, had the Saviour. Yet in the entire world of mankind black eyes arc greatly in the majority. So the blue oyes must "lookout" for themselves.?Boston Post. Difficulties.?Wait not for your difficulties to cease?there is no soldier's glory to be won on peaceful fields, no sailor's daring to be shown on sunny seas, no trust or friendship to be proved when all go well.? Faith, patience, he-oic love, devout courage, gentleness, are not to be formed when there are no doubts, no pains, no irritations, no difficulties. The highly favored are they who, amid tribulations, are patient ; amid rebuffs are meeks; amid chastisements are j resigned; amid pains are courageous ; amid ! provocations are gentle; amid enemies are j Mary Magdalen.?Mary Magdalen is thought to have received her name from the tovn of Magdala, in Galilee. She has been often confounded with Mary, the sister of Lazarus; while others maintain that she is the sinner, mentioned by Luke, wbpse name he does not tell us. Bnt the celebrated Dr. Lardner has shown, by a variety of learned remarks, both from the Scriptures and the best commentators, that Mary Magdalen waB not the person j but, on the contrary, she was a woman of distinction, and very easy in her circumstances. For a while she labored under some bodily indisposition, whioh our Lord miraculously healed, and for which benefit she was very thankful. So far as we know, her conduct was always regular< and free from censure; and we may reasonable hplifirp tTiof oftor a/?nruuntance with our Saviour, it was edifying and exemplary. She showed him great respect in hislife, at his death, and after it; and was one of those to whom our Lord first appeared after his resurrection. Mary Magdalen followed Christ in the last journey that he made from Galilee to Jerusalem, and was at the foot of the cross at his orucifixion.? After this, she returned to Jerusalem, to buy and prepare the perfumes, that she might embalm him when the Sabbath wfes over. All the Sabbath-day she remained in the city; and the next day, early in the morning, she went to t'ue sepulchre along with Mary the mother of James and Salome, where she had the happiness of first seeing her risen Lord. l)r. Lardner also published a letter to James Hanaway in 1758, wherein he proves the exemplary .character of Mary Magdalen, and complains of the mani-fest impropriety of calling houses for the reception of penitent erring women, "Magdalens." Ciiaractebistic.?In an account of the battle of Montebello, written by a young non-commissioned Frenoh officer to a newspaper at home, he says of the feeling of being in the midst of a fire for the first time: . ' > : "Oar officers kept us back, for we were not numerous enough to charge upon the enemy. This was, moreover, most prudent, for this murderous fire?so fatal to the white I coats?did us but little harm. ,Our conical ! balls penetrated those dense masses, while those of the Austrians whistled past our ears and respected our persons. Ifr was the first time 1 had faced fire, nor was I the only one. ! Well, I am satisfied with myself. True, I dodged the first balls, bat Henry IV., they l say, did the same at the beginning of every battle. It is, in fact, a physical effect, independent of the will. But this tribute paid, if you could only . feel how eaoh shot electrifies you. It is like a whip on a racer's legs. The balls whistle past you, turn up the earth around you, kill one, wound another, and you hardly notice them. You grow intoxicated, the smell of the powder mounts to your brain. The eye becomes bloodshot add its look is fixed on the enemy. There is something of all the passions in that terrible passion excited in a soldier by the sight of blood and the tumult of battle." Everybody who has tried it, testifies to the peculiar intoxication that is induced by being in battle. There is an infatuating influence nVinnf, f.he smell nf nnwder. the shrill whistle of a bullet, and the sight of human blood, i that instantly transforms men from cowards to heroes?from women sometimes to monsters. None can tell of the nature or mystery of that influence, but those who have been in the fray themselves. Anecdote of Lablache.?Poot Lablache was absent-minded enough at times.? One day the King of Naples summoned him to the Palace. Lablache obeyed, aDd stood waiting his turn of audience in the drawingroom, which precceded His Majesty's closet. It was full of courtiers, who all knew him, and flooked around him to enjoy the brilliant conversation of the great singer; for Lablache was a thoroughly educated and intellectual man. As he had a bad cold, he asked permission of the gentlemen present to keep his hat on, which was, of course, instantly granted. The conversation was suddenly interrupted by the appearance of an usher, who told Lablache the King was waiting for him. Lablaohe took up a hat and walked rapidly towards the King's closet, which be entered bowing and scrapiDg, persuaded his manners were-most courtly. The moment the King saw him he roared with-laughter. Lablache blushed and felt exceedingly awk i ?T?UI?u? 1 ward. "iuy Uem juuulavuc, autu cue iviug, "what in the deuce are you going to do with the hat I see you hold in your hand ?" "I beg ten thousand pardons, Sire, I?really, do not understand Your Majesty ?" "I beg /your pardon, my dear fellow, for I cannot see what use you can make of the hat you hold in your hand." "Why?Sire?I wear it." Lablache, joining pantomime to speech, attempted to put the hat on his head. The hat in his hand struok the hat on his head, and for several minutes Lablaohe did not know what to make of it; then he recollected how the mistake occurred and begged the King's pardon, but the King was laughing so heartily he could hear nothing, and Lablache joined His Majesty's laughter. jj?B~A rather loud game of euchre, we learn, was played the other day on board a steamer at the levee. A four-handed game wns nuietlv nroprossinf?: the dealer, whom "* *' 1 J r -o o / / we shall call A., had just dealt, and turned up a jack for trumps. B., the man next him, passed, and remarked that if poker was the game his hand would be some. It was C's, say next; he also passed, and added that if poker was the game he would have something of a hand too. "And so would I have a hand," said A., "if you'd just let me take up the deck-head." All agreed to change the game to poker, and bet on the hands they held, whilst B. and C. consented that A. should discard and take up the jack. B., who held four queens, opened the game by a bet of ten dollars. C., who held four tens, was bluffed by this, and took an outside seat with his friend D. A. saw B's ten, and went ten better. B.* saw that and went fifty better. A. pulled out all the money he had, some eighty or ninety dollars, and, remarking that it was no use to bet against him, as he thought he had the thing dead, saw B's fifty and went the rest of his money better. B. commenced getting uneasy, but he concluded to cover A's stake and see what he had. He covered the pile, laid down his four queens, and looking over into A's hand, was thunderstruck to behold four aces ! "Aces! the Devil!" he exclaimed, "what did you want that jack for?"?1 "Oh, just for fun!" complacently replied $ttsktSB ftjfc' =- , ,' DR. ALFRED CRAVEN |Usitat Surgeon ?cntist, YORKVILLE, S. O.

LINDSEY ft GORDON, : April 7 14 tf SINGER'S SEWING MACHINES. Prices Reduced to $50, $75, $110, and $125. fTfJTE plain reason why Singer's Sewing-MaJL chines have always sold readily at a higher average price than any other, is that they are bet ter, more durable, more reliable, capable of doing a much greater variety of work, and earning more money.

SINGER'S TRANSVERSE SHUTTLE-MACHINE, to be sold at $76, is a Maobine entirely new in its arrangement ^ it is very beautifnl, moves rapidly and very easily, and, for family nse and Kght manufacturing purposes, is .the very best and cheapest Maohine ever offered to the public.? These Machines are being increased in number as rapidly as possible, and, yet the demand for them cannot be folly supplied.
