this place to-day, your fellow citizens there
assembled, determined to present your

The Bear Aunt and Deal" Wife.
i bad an aunt coming to vibit me for the
iirst time, since my marriage, and I don’t
know what evil genius prompted the wick

wife and my ancient relation.
“My dear,” said 1 to my wife on the day
before :nv’ aunt’s arrival, “30:1 know Aunt
Mary is coining to morrow; well, 1 forgot

lioriible groan which John gave ve.nt to in
his endeavor to suppress his risibility had
not betrayed our hiding place.
In rushes my wife and aunt, who by this
time, comprehended liie j-*ke, aud such a
scolding as 1 then got I never got before,
and hope never to get again.
I know not what the end would have
been if John, in his endeavors to appear
respectful and sympathetic, had not given
.vent to such a grtmn and a horse laugh,
that all gravity was upset and we sercain-
?d in concert.
I know it was very wrong, and all that
to tell such a falsehood, but 1 think that
Mrs. Opie herself would have laughed if
she hail seen aunt Msirv’s egression when
she was informed that her hearing was de

SOME DOGS ARE SMART.
BV REV. 1. L. 1* GREEN, I>. M.
Did y ou ever notice what a very small
amount of education the dogs reeeiv»!
We learn them their name—which they
obtain a knowledge of verv soon—we
learn them "(hi out” "begone,” "herd
here! here!” and "\ijh! suh! side!” {tnd
there their education stops; hut 1 would
judge that as the length of time it takes
them to learn this much is so very short,
wo could learn them a great deal more, if
wc were to try.
I will here give you an account ef a dog
that I was mice acquainted with.—He
lived for several years in the town of
Glarksville, Tennessee, and almost every
citizen of the place was acquainted with
him.
Hu made his appearance on entering
the town, at the hotel—the place where
other strangers wfre generally first seen.
He did not register huttfmc, and call for
a ro un, out he went fnto the back yard
and laid himself down to rest, but soon
rendered himself useful by keeping all
dogs out of the back yard, by wliieh ser-
chief friends were the supporters, and differences, and rushed to the battlefield,

d. We had reasoned with our enemies—
had placed belorethem “in thoughts that
breathe, and words that burn,” the conse
quences of their continued aggressions.
Our predictions were unheeded-our threats
laughed at, aud our arguments answered
by 7 renewed aggressions. I saw no grounds
lor hope, no permanent settlement with
our honor untarnished. A change of par
lies, in the future, might take place at the
North, but this hope was feeble, and prom
ised only temporary' cessation of hostili
ties to the South, and nothing like perma
neut quiet. The tide of fanaticism was
swelling and growing—gaining strength at
every surge, and nee led but one more ef
fort to engnlph and overwhelm us.
In all this, I felt sufficient justification
for casting my 7 vote for secession. Slave
ry, already 7 in danger, by such a course
might he imperilled—hut I preferred to
meet the. danger promptly, and il lose it we
must, let it be abolished by the strength
of bayonet and cannon, and not by our
abject surrender, ll I max! y ield my rights
and property to the insatiate I ankee, there
is a pride within me that woqld-he less
crushed, by a firm and manly resistance,
than were I to submit tamely and unre
sistingly 7 .
If I was justifiable, then, in sanctioning
a disruption of the Union—the reasons
since have multiplied —and grown from
streamlets* to rivers—from mole hills to
connection.

that I was born and brought up among a

side did their sons battle and fall with my
first born, on the heights of McDowell, and
side by 7 side, with my only 7 remaining son,
they have battled stuco on many a hard

1 have not sought office, neither am I now
a seeker. And but for a disease from
which I have been a sufferer for about 1.2
years, of which I may never hope to re
cover, and which unfits me for the du
ties of a soldier's life, I had, ere this, been
in the service of my country in the arm} 7 .
Yet 1 do not feel myself at liberty to de
cline the use of my name under the cir
cumstances, ami especially as the sugges
tion emanates from such a source.

and the hall lamp clatteicd, and ttie win
dows shook as with the fever and ague. I
looked at the window—John had disap
peared. Human nature could stand it no
longer. 1 poked my head into the car
riage and went into strong convulsions.
YVhen I entered the parlor my wife was
helping Aunt Mary to take off’ her hat and
cap: and there sat John with his face bu
ried in bis handkerchief.
Suddenly, “ Did you have a pleasant

.while l have not held President Davis, as “Rather dusty,” was the response in a j Hie preacher, looking him in the e3 7 e and
an executive, in as high estimation for his j war whoop, and the conversation contin ! listening attentively. I never knew him
regularity and promptness, not merely
going when the bell rang tor preaching,
but went to the pravor-mecting, which
was not announced by the bell. From
the fact that he attended the Presbyterian
Church altogether, the bo3 7 s called him
Calvin. He never wont to Church with
any person, or kept the company of any
other dog. He hail two other places of
visiting: one was the Democratic meetings
whenever they came off; and he went to
market every morning. And without any
appointment or election in any way, he
became town constable in so far as keep
ing ofder at the market house—not suffer
ing a hog or any other dog to trouble any
article that might be in the matket house.
In this service lie was perfectly impartial.
He took as much interest in minding the
property of one person as another—never
touching anything himself. Put be was
always rewarded b3 7 the persons at ending .
the market, for at the end of the market
ing hour they handed over to him enough
provision to last him during the day—
which Ire in the most orderly manner car
ried home in bis mouth.
So things went mi for some time, till at
last Dr. Bascom had an appointment at
the Methodist Church, Someone said that
Calvin would be at the Methodist Church
next Sunday, he would go to bear Baseom,
certain. Sure enough, when Sunday came
be made bis appearance at the Methodist
Church, and seemed to listen to the doctor
with great interest; and after this day was
never again known to attend the Presby
terian Church, but attended the Methodist
Church ever after. He also changed his
politics, and went ever after to the Whig
meetings.
I have preached to this dog frequently.
He had his regular place in the aisle close
to the head of a certain pew. Here lie
would lay him-elf down, with his head to
efficiency as some others, and what objec I ued.

I have been, and atn now utterly^ against
all factious opposition to his administra
tion. ,
1 condemn all attempts at any part} 7 or
ganization, based upon resistance to his
administration, and hold that it is my dut3’
and the duty of every citizen, in view of
the common good and the'success of our
arms, to yield to his administration our
support. Such I accept as my dut}’, and
so 1 act.
As there-is danger to the country from
the lurking of re construction sentiments
in the minds of some persons, I desire to
s;iy lhat no terms could be offered b) 7 the
North, upon which I would be willing to a
re construction of the old Union, nor upon
which I Would be willing to see the South
enter with her into the same general gov
ernment. That the war in which we are
engaged, and which has been wickedly
forced upon us by our enemies, not with
standing our efforts to avoid it, should be
prosecuted until au honorable peace re
sults to the youth, or we are utterly ex
hausted iu our struggle for independence.
Recognizing*thc truth that one class ol
our citizens-ought not to make a profit of
the misfortunes of others, engaged with
them alike in our country’s defence, I be
lieve, that as a corrective of this, as far as
practicable, such a system of taxation
ought to be adopted as will make income
the basis of taxation, so that those who
make a profit of the war, shall mainly bear
the burden of taxation.

In the course of the evening, my aunt
took occasion to say to me :
“How loud your wife talks!” *
I told her all deaf persons talked Joud-
ly, and that igy wife being used to me,
was not affected by the exertion, and that
she was getting along very nicely with
her.
Presently my wife said softly :
“ Alf, how very loudly your aunt talks !”
“ Y es,” said 1, “ all deaf persons do.—
You’re getting along with her finely : she
hears every word you say.” Aud 1 rather
think she did.
Elated by their success at being under
stood, they went at it hammer and tongs,
till everything upon the in anti apiece clat
tered again, and I was seriously afraid of
a crowd collecting in front of the house.
But the end was near. My aunt being
of an investigating turn of mind, was de- j (t f high prices for provisions are the ones
to go to sleep in church, or to get up and
20 out in time of service, or leave the
Church before the congregation was dis
missed.- He was the wonder of all who
knew him. lie came to his end by taking
up some poisoned bait that had been set
for some other dog. A lengthy notice of
him was published at the time in the pa
pers. So lived and died this singular dog.
Fine Dressing.—Fine clothes worn.now
is a mark of flunkey ism. At no time is it
becoming to dress in an} 7 other st3’le than
a plain neat dress for street walking, and
if we make ihe higher class of England
our example, it will be^yuml that tlic-3*
wear the plainest of dresses, except at
halls and dinner parties, or public assem
blies. It is a want of patriotism now to
expend large sums for fine dressing. The
surplus so disposed of might be more profi
tably used in adding to the comfort of
those who are periling life and homes for
the public welfare. Many who complain
sirous of finding out whetlrer the exertion
of. talking was injurious to my wile So—
“ Doesn't talking so load stiain your
lungs ?” said she iu au unearthly whoop,
for her voice was not as musical «as it was
when she was young.
“ It’s an exertion,” shrieked my wife.
“ Then why do you do it ?” was the an
swering scream.
“ Because-becausc— you can’t hear if I
don’t,” squealed my wife.
What !” said my aunt, fairly rivaling
a railroad whistle at this time.
I began to thinMMt time to evacuate the
w ho'stint their bellies to clothe their backs
in fine garments- This is folly.— Lynch

King Cotton.—The London correspon

“The harvest continues good, hut the
cotton prospect is bad. It could scarcely
be worse. Cotton will not come from any
where, no matter bow much it is wanted.
