■“You are sober this evening,” said
Mrs. Landell to her husband. “I
hope nothing has gone Wrong, during
the day.”
■Mr. Landell, who had been sitting
with his eyes upon the floor, silent
and abstracted for some moments,
roused himself at these words of his
wife, and looked up at her, smiled in
a forced way, as he answered—
“Ob, no; nothing at all has gone
wrong.”
“Don’t you feel well?”
The voice of Mrs. Landell was just
shaded with concern.
Well enough in body, bnt not as
comfortable in mind as I desire.”
“Then something has gone wrong,”
said the wife, her manner troubled.
“Nothing more than usual,” re
plied Mr. Landell. The forced smile
faded away from his countenance.—
Mrs. Landell sighed.
Than usual!” She repeated his
words, looking with earnest inquiry
into her husband's face. Then she
added in a tender manner:
“Bring home your trouble, dear.
Don’t hide anything. Let me share
with you the good and ill of life.-
Did you not know that hearts draw
nearer in suffering than they do in
joy”
“Bless your kind heart, Alice!”
said Mr. Landell, a broad smile creep
ing over his face as he caught her
round cheeks between his hands and
kissed her. “There isn’t anything
in the case so serious as all that comes
to. I’m not going to fail in business;
haven’t lost anything.worth speaking
about; haven’t cheated anybody and
don’t intend to; it’s only this hasty,
impulsive temper of mine that is al
ways leading ii e to say or do some
thing that leaves a sting.”
The cloud passed from the face of
Mrs. Landell.
‘You will overcome that in time.
Edward.”
“I can’t see that I make any pro
gress. Yesterday I spoke sharply
to one of my young men, when a mild
reproof would have been more just
and of more salutary effect. He '
sensitive, and my words hurt him se
verely. The shadow that remained
on his face all day was my perpetual
rebuke, and I felt it long after , the
sun went down. My punishment was
greater than his. But the lesson of
yesterday did not suffice. This mor
ning I was betrayed into captious
language, and wounded the same
young man, and threw him off his
guard so much that he answered me
with feeling. This I regarded as
impertinence, nnd threatened to dis
miss him from my service if he dared
venture a repetition of his language.
When feeling subsided and thought
became clear again, I saw that I had
been wrong and felt unhappy about
it ever since. I wish that I had more
self-control; that I could bridle tny
tongue when feeling it suddenly spur
red. But temperament and long in
dulged, habits are against me. "
Mrs. Landell encouraged and sooth
ed her husband, and so won his mind
away from its self-reproaches.
On the next morning as Mr. Lan
dell was leaving for his store, his
wife looked up at him, and with
meaning, said to him :
“Don’t.”
There was the slightest perceptible
warning in her tone.
“Don’t what ?” Mr. Landell seem
ed a little puzzled.
“Don’t forget yourself.
“Oh!’’ Light broke in upon his
mind. “Thank you, I will not;”
and he went forth to meet the trials
of the day.
Almost the first thing that fell an
der the notice of Landell was an im
portant letter, which after writing,
he had given to a clerk to copy aud
mail. Instead of being in Boston
as it shook! have been, it lay upon
his desk. Neglect like this he felt
to be unpardonable.
“John,” he called sharply to n
young man at the farther end of the
store.
“Don’t L” it seemed to him like
the voice of his wife in his ear-
“don’t forget yourself.”
This mental warning came just in
season. The clerk came quietly to
wards him. By tlie time lie reached
the desk of Mr. Landell, the latter
was under self-control.
“Why was not this letter mailed.
John ?” he asked.
The tone was neither imperativi

“Don’t!” the inward monitor spoke

tightly, and kept silent until he could
command himself. lie then inquired
calmly into the cause of the accident,
and found that special blame attach
ed to none. Opening the case of
goods, the damage was found to be
trifling.
“Another conquest,” said Mr. Lan
dell, ts he turned to liis desk. Self-
control is easy enough, if the trial is
made in earnest.
A dozen times that day was the
torch applied to Mr. Laudell’s quick
temper, and as often was he in dan
ger of blazing out. But he kept his
temper till the sun went down, and
then he turned his steps homeward,
feeling more comfortable in mind
than he had for several weeks. There
was no shadow on his countenance
when he met his wife, but smiling
good humor.
“You said ‘don’t’ as I left this mor-
ning.”
“Well!”
“And I didn’t.”
“You are a hero,” said Mrs. Lan
dell, laughing.
“Not much of a one. The con
quest was easy enough when I drew
the sword in earnest.”
“And you felt better ?”
“Oh, a thousand times. What a
curse of one’s life this quick temper
ament is. I am ashamed of myself
half a dozen times a day on an aver
age. But I have made a good be
ginning, and I mean to keep on right
until the end.”
“Don’t,” said Mrs. Landell to her
husband, as she parted with him for
the store at the front door of their
home the next morning.
“I won’t; God help me!” was an

North Carolina.
The North Carolina Presbyterian
justly claims great things for this
old State, calling attention to this re
markable fact:
A few years ago there were seven
Governors in office in the United
States at one time, who hailed from
the Old North State. Mr. Polk be
came President, Mr. King Vice-Pre
sident, Mr. Benton rose to his high
eminence—all after leaving their na
tive State. At present the most elo
quent Episcopal preacher and the
jiost venerable Presbyterian Profess
or in New York City are North Car
olinians, and were formerly lawyers
in the eastern part of the State.’
“Now, it being the law, it must be
obeyed—if it is resisted, it is felony;
if resisted with an armed force, it is
treason, and those who resist it, must
shot—must be hung. Some
man among us have a doctrine they
call higher law doctrine, and profess
that their consciences are above and
beyond the Constitution. These gen
tlemen are traitors, and must be ele
vated to a purer atmosphere—sus
pended—HUNG CP.”
We ask—is there a solitary’ North
ern Democrat, who lias uttered sound
er or more emphatic sentiments in
regard to the Fugitive Slave Law
and its execution, than those given
above, from one of the most distin-
f uished of the Northern Republicans ?
f there be, let the Examiner name
him.
A Rogue Caught
A Spaniard having stolen a horse
from an Indian, the latter convicted
him of the offence by a very ingeni
ous plan. He complained to a judge,
who had the Spaniard, with the horse,
before him. The prisoner swore that
the horse belonged to him, and' that
he had always had it; so that the
judge did not find himself in a posi
tion to convict. He was even about
te return the horse to him, when the
Indian said, “If yon will allow me,
I will prove that the animal belongs
to me.” Immediately he pulled off
his cloak, and covering the horse'
head, asked the Spaniard of which
eye it was blind ? The robber was
much embarrassed at the question
but, nevertheless, not to delay the
court, he replied at hazard, that
was the right eye. The Indian 1
covering his head exclaimed, “The
horse is not blind either in the right
eye or the left.” The judge imme
diately decided that the animal was
his.
late canvass in the State, ho thus
spoke of that Law:
“That is the law, and wc have
agreed to abide by it—the law is con
stitutional,"and it must be obeyed.
Young lawyers with soaped mustaches
and cigars a foot long in their mouths,
who had cursorily glanced ovei Black-
stone’s Commentaries, and had read
Swan on Executors and Administra
tors, and perhaps seen Wilcox’s
Forms, had no hesitation in pro
nouncing it unconstitutional; but in
the face of such distinguished author
ity, IT IS constitutional; and it is
the law of the land—the highest and
most intelligent tribunals ia the land
have so pronounced it—so defended
it, and there can be no doubt about
Small Feet irt Peru.
The ladias-of Lima are noted for
their extremely small feet, the secret
being, that infants of the female sex
undergo, as a rule, amputation of tUt
little toe of each foot. So general
is the custom, that many women think
that five toes on each foot m a state
of things peculiar to the mule sex.
It is said that a Peruvian surgeon is
coming over to London and Paris,
where he expects to make a fine bar
vest. He warrants the ladies the
tiniest and most graceful foot by
means of the.above named amputa
tion, and confinement to the house
for oniy one week. A custom of
this kind prevailed pretty generally in
Paris some years ago, kept up by the
very reprehensible complaisance of
a surgeon, who had acquired some
celebrity touching this silly mutila
tion.—Paris Journal.
Hereupon Davy took the hat, and
with lii3 pocket-knife cut directly
through .he hrim and crown, divid
ing it in twain. Then taking a half
of the hat in each hand, he exposed
the divided chapeau to'the spectators,
in order that there should be no mis
take about the matter. “You see
that the hat is cut clear open.”
“Yes,” they all responded.
“The crowd looked on with intense
anxiety to see how this thing was to
end; most of them however, knowing,
from Crockett’s character, that he
would come out victorious and give
them a good laugh. Our green
country friend, meanwhile, was al
ready laughing at the prospect of
winning his wager.
“Crockett then commenced blow
ing his breath upon those parts of
the divided liat which he proposed to
reunite, and at the same time utter
ing some mysterious words, and at
tempting some peculiar manipula
tions which he contended, were to
accomplish the magical work. All
at once he ceased his efforts, and
looking around upou the crowd, said,
in a very serious tone, “Gentlemen,
upon my word I have forgotton how.
Jim has won the whiskey.”
Every body instantly saw the
point of the joke, and the roar of
laughter that followed can be moro
easily imagined than described. As
for poor Jim, he stood perfectly amaz
ed at his own stupidity in not fore
seeing that a quart of “old rye”
would be but a poor compensation
for liis new liat.”—Harper's Maga

of a mother’s love to the memory of
her sainted child:
Shall I know my baby in Heaven,
among the crowd of infant worship
pers assembled around the throne,
with harps of gold and palms of
victory, forever praising Him who in
his mercy saved them? When I
lie down to die—when all earth’s
cares, are ended, and the Master calls
for me and bids me “come higher”—
when earth recedes, and loved ones
standing round by bed, shall
watch for the last faint gleam that
speaks the freedom of the spirit from
this poor clay—then shall I go to
meet her ? Oh! then I’ll surely know
her. How can I ever forget her
cherished imi\ge, deep graven on my
heart—“can a mother fol^et her
babe ?” Not even her spotless robes,
nor the glory that surrounds her, gin
change the loved features, nor break
the link that binds the heart of child
and mother. Her angel name may
differ from the one she bore on earth,
but when I see her face I’ll know her
name, although it be not “Lizzie.

The Hog Market.
We again advert to this subject,
which is an important item to many
of our people. One of our most
reliable citizens who has recently
returned from East Tennessee, where
he has spent the last several months,
requests us to state, that nt no time
within the past five’years has the hog
crop been so abundant in that section,
Large numbers are being collected,
and are intended, he believes, for
this market. He thinks that our
friend, who gave us information
several weeks since, quite to the
contrary, was deceived by persons
whose interest it is to create tlio im
pression that hogs are scarce; and
further, that our citizens should
place no.reliance on what drovers
may affirm about the scarcity, as there
are hundreds and thousands of the
genus hog to make their appearance
here during the winter. Wc dismiss
the porcino subject for the present,
in the hope that the fears of all are
vanished by this time about paying
high prices for “a streak of lean and
a streak of fat!”—Anderson Ga
zette.

Davy Crockett.
We do not recollect of having ever
seen in print the following character
istic anecdote of that renowned
“American backwoodsman” (as he is
leaominatcd in the “New Cyclope
dia”) Davy Crockett. It is literally
true, nevertheless. The incident was
witnessed by the writer.
“Crockett was on an electioneering
tour. . It was about that time in the
summer when the fanners had “laid
by” their crops. Due notice had
been given that Crockett was to
speak at Lawreuceburg, a small vil
lage in Lawrence County, Tennessee.
At the time appointed there was a
goodly number of country people
present. Our hero was on hand ear
ly, and according to his custom, he,
for an hour or so before taking the
stand; amused the “boys” by “telling
yarns,” etc. In the crowd of men
who were thus enjoying Davy’s ec
centricities there whs a goodnatured,
though rather verdant, country chap,
about thenty-one. He was clad in
the plainest “homespun”—copperas
pants and coarse cotton shirt. In
striking contrast with this unpretend
ing costume, ho wore a bran-new fur

A Secret Organization for Slave Insur
rection.
The Cincinnati Times learns from
reliable authority that considerable
excitement exists in a portion of
Kentucky, relative to the supposed
detection of a secret organization,
having for its object a slave insurrec
tion. Tho facts, as they received
th-.-m, are as follows:
Two anonymous letters were re
ceived through the post-office at
Cynthiana, Kentucky, announcing
the existence in that locality of a
secret organization, upon a plan
similar to that cf Old Brown’s at
Harper’s Ferry, and having the same
object in view. The letters and their
contents were made public, and
immediately created a great excite
ment throughout Harrison and Bour
bon counties, where it is alleged the
organization exists, and is intended
to ope-ate. A public meeting was
called at Cynthiana, and was largely
attended. Measures were taken to
ferret *out the members of the or
gaiiization, and to protect the com
munity against any outbreak that
may be attempted among the slaves.
The association is said to consist
mostly of negroes, led »nd directed
by white men. It is charged that
some of the employees of the Cov
ington and Lexington Railroad are
leaders in the movement. The anon
ymous letters declare that, like that
of Harper’s Ferry, each member of
this organization is sworn to secresy,
and it is supposed that arrangements
for a general outbreak were pretty
well matured. A vigilance commit
tee was otganized at tlie Aneeting of
the citizens, and the utmost precau
tion is observed throughout the coun
try. Stringent resolutions were pas
sed, and the least movement on the
part of the slaves is to be the signal
for prompt action. Great consterna
tion and alarm exists throughout the
country, and a fully suppl of fire
arms have been ordered by the citi
zens, and a thorough preparation is
made for any demonstration that
may occur. This matter will be
thoroughly investigated, and the
guilty parties, whoever they may be,
will be brought to justice.
“ Love me little, love me long,”
This may do fur book and song.
But for woman’s heart—never;
She loves deridy and foiever.
Love me much aud love me long,
Is tlie burden other song.

On love’* wild, uncertain Ocean-
Having dream, nor hope nor prayer,
But your ima*e mingle* there.
Thinkest thou she e’er can he
Content with anv less from thee!
Little know* he woman’* heart.
Who deem* her half content with part—
Content with a divided lre«enre—
Wooed by rule, nnd loved by measure.
Love me much, nnd love me long,
I* the burtteu of her song.
Lore her wholly—love her over-
Love h%r thus, or from her sever,
Ere her heart has twined around thee.
Ere she curse the hours she found thee.
Ere to breathe tlie word farewell,
Be to her like a funeral knell.
The sudden love may burn in waste,
And sudden vows repent their haste ;
So l«t it l>e, ere thou dost bring
A cool and cautious offering.
Love me much, love me strong,
Is the burden of her song.
And in your poverty or wealth—
Or in your sickness or in health—
Higli on the pinnacle of fame.
Or in the lowest depths of shame.
Where thou art, there will she be,
dinging fondly stilt to thee.
Let no icy caution, stealing
O’er your heart, eengeal its feeling;
Fear not to trust too much —
Woman shrinks from jealous touch.
Love me trustingly and loug,
Is the burJen of her song.

Love me deeply, lovu me long,
Is the burden of her song.

And pleasures many, sorrows few.

Regret, remorse, and bitter tears.
