At the Capitol of late, they got up a debate.
On the general affair* of the nation,
(Theie were Douglass and Cas.-, ;.nJ others
of their elm*,
Against Sutnuer and AiV blackjuhrd ora

There were speeches from the North, ami
speeches from the West,
And people in the galleries npplaudin,*
There were speeches very fine frytn South of j
of Mason's line,
And some from the?"lother side o' Jordan.**
II.
The old crazy headed fox, from theland of j
wooden clocks,
Abided Holler and Smith Carolina,
While with about* of applause, the abolition

A IIunoarian f^Jjleman, Count Chris

at Baden Baden. the celebrated German
bathing and gambling town, accompanied l?\
his daughter. Helen. Young. pretty, and
heiress to an immense fortune left by hei

self Mtriounded by a host of admirers. A

where tlie aspirants contended fur her hand

qualities. When she eiHotcd hei
carriage, ten cavaliers were in the saddle ca
rucoling around her caleche. At the hall,
the most elegant dancers wero devoted to
her. They had neither ewe, attentions, nor

w anen, French. Engii-h ami Uussian, were
panicula ly mortili-d. Among these pies

the wall of the garden ; tinding the door ahu
entered the house ihiough one of the low
windows. Then mounting the stairs, fill-si
with pleasing emotions, he directed his step
towards die apartment of Helen. There, in
stead of the daughter, he found the fit'aei
armed with a brace of pistols. The Count
olo>?*d the door, and sai I lo the Wietchwu
Caetau. who was trembling with terror :
'I could kill you ; 1 have a right to do so

Humility is one of the graces necessary to
louslitute a christian. It gives power and
igor to many other features of our h? ?ly relifi.ui.
The man. who has the religion of
he Bible, is all humble man ; 'easy to he
ntrenied,"' without malice or wrath. When

This is the kind of humility we should all
lave, and especially should all ministers ot
he Gosjiel have it. That humility which
akes awav the love of the world and the
ipplause of men ; that humility which w ill

We visited the grave of a hero. I Mm
name was insetted oil the white marble lit at
covered liitti, and yet there were persons
standing near who inquired, "Who was he?"
Who was lie? Why, lie was the triumphant
leader of a battle, whose achievements were,
at the time, the subject of laudation fur nt
least nine days Forty years, however, had
passed since then, and his name and deeds
were unfamiliar to one out of a thousand of
| his own couu'rymen. It is the common

I were imperishable. It was humorously re;

To w rite for famo is, hence, next to useless,

A happier illustration of thy wondetful
character of the Bible, and the facility with
which a child may answer, by it, the greatest
questions, and solve the sublimest of
mystifies was pi rlnips never given, than at
au examination of a deaf and dumb institution,
some yeats ago in Loudon.
A little boy was asked in writing, '"Who
made the world ?"

the question,
"In the beginning God created the heaven

The clergyman then inquired in a similar

A smile of delight and gratitude rested
on the countenance of the little fellow as htf

"This is a faithful saving, and worthy of
all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into
tl? world to save sinner-."
A third was proposed, evidently adapted
to call his most poweiful feedngs into exercise,
"Why were you born deaf and dumb,

"Never," said an eye-witness, "shall I forg

has ilu- following "never-failing remedies fur

"Boil a quart of tar until it becomes right
(Tin. Remove the clothing, and before tlm
tar becomes perfectly cool, with a broad flat
brush apply n thin smooth coating to t'io
entire suiface of the lardy and limbs. While
the tar remains ?oft, the flea becomes eman*
gled in its tenacious fold^, and is rendered
|Hjil'ectly harnilesH ; but it will soon form m
hard, smooth coating, entirely impeivious t.?
his bite. Should It e cogmig crack at the
knee or ilbuw joints, it is merely necessary
to retouch it slightly at llmae place*. The
whole c >at should be renewed every three
jt four weeks. This remedy is sure, and
having the advantage of simplicity aud conumy,
should be generelly known.
