r “OH GIVJE THE R1JI0 WORD,
And a Heart-Cheering Smile.
There’s enough in this world to distress and
annov,
Oh, then let us try to enlighten its gloom !
If the darkness of sorrow thou changest to
joy,
Thus much hast thou brightened humanity s
doom.
If a brother or sister be swallowed in grief,
Teach them that our Father will hallow each
trial,
Point thou to the cross for enduring relief:
Oh, give the kind word and the heart-cheer
ing smile !
We all may do much to lighten the load
Which mortals must bear in this p ithway
of tears;
We all may do much to smooth the rough
road,
To raise the bright hopes, and dispel the
dark fears.
Thou rnayest not have gold to bestow on thy
friend,
Whom to his hard lot thou would’st fain re
concile : .
But in love thou hast wealth without limit or
end; *
Then give the kind word, and the heart-
cheering smile!
For what is our heart but to feel for our kind?
For what is our voice, but to utter ourlove.-
Oh, thiuK, what a Heaven on earth we should
find,
Had we less of the “serpent,” and more of
the “dove ”
Our days are fast flying, we stay not here long,
Then let us be faithful, and loving the
while, ■
Bring the erring to virtue, “the weak bid be
strong
And give the kind word, and the heart-cheer
ing smile!
the robbers seized the horse by the bridle
while the two others dragged the butcher
from the saddle. The dog leaped immedi
ately upon one of them and strangled him;
but the other wounded the animal so se
verely that he rushed into the thicket ut
tering the most fearful howls. The butch
er, who by this time had disengaged him
self from the grasp of the second robber,
drew his knife and killed him. But at the
same moment he received a shot from the
pistol of the third, who had just wounded
the dog, and falling was dispatched by the
thief, who found upon him a large sum in
gold, a silver watch, and a few other arti
cles of value. He plundered the corpse,
leaped upon the horse and fled.
The next morning two woodcutters,
happening in that path, was surprised to
flud three dead bodies and a large dog,
who seemed to be guarding them. They
examined them and endeavored to restore
life, but in vain. One of them dressed
the wounds of the dog, gave him some food,
and sought some water for him, while the
other hastened to the nearest village to in
form the magistrate of their discovery.
The officer accompanied by -several atten
dants was soon on the spot, a surgeon ex
amined the wounds of the thiee bodies,
they drew up a verbal process and interred
them.
The dog dragged himself in the course
of the uight, when all was quiet, to the
corpse of his master, where he was found
the next morning. He allowed his new
friends to dress his wounds, and as if fore
seeing that he might one day avenge the
murdered, he ate and drank, but would not
leave the spot. He looked on quietly
while they dug the grave, aud allowed
ihem to bury the bodies ; but as soon
Before he had time to explain himself,
the voung man, profiting by the tumult, es
caped. For some moments they thought
Meyer himself was mad and he had great
difficulty in persuading those who had
bound the dog that the faithful creature
was not in the least dangerous, aud begged
earnestly of them to release him that he
might pursue the assassin. He spoke in so
convincing a manner, that his hearers felt
persuaded of the truth of his assertions, aud
restored the dog his freedom who joyously
bounded to his master, and leaped about
him a few times, and then hastened away.
He divided the crowd and was soon up
on the enemies’ track. The police, which,
on these occasions are very active and
prompt, were immediately informed of this
extraordinary event, and a number “of offi
cers were in hot pursuit. The dog became
in a few moments the object of public cu
riosity and every one drew back to allow
him room. Business was suspended, and
the crowd collected in groups, conversing
of nought but the dog aud the murder
which liad been committed two years be
fore.
After an half hours expectation, a gener
al rush indicated that the search was over.
The man had stretched himself upou the
ground, under the heavy folds of a double
tent and believed himself bidden. But in
spite of his fancied security, the avenger
had tracked him, and leaping upon him he
bit him, tore his garments, and would have
killed him upon the spot, had not the as
sistants rushed to his rescue.
He was immediately arrested, and led
with M. Meyer and the dog, then carefully
bound, before the judge, who hardly knew
what to think of so extraordinary an affair.
Meyer related all that had happened two
as the turf was placed, he stretched ; years before and insisted upon the impris-
himselfupon it, howled mournfully, and j onment of the man, declaring that he was
resisted all the efforts of the bystanders to
induce him to move. He snapped at ail
who came near him. He bore his caresses,
but no sooner did the man attempt to take
his paws to remove him from the grave,
than he gnashed his teeth, and would have
wounded him severely, if he had not quick
ly fled. Every one admired the fidelity of
the dog, and when the woodman offered to
carry him food aud drink every day, that
he might not perish, the magistrate pro
posed taking up a collection to remunerate
the man, who was poor, and the father of a
large family. With difficulty he was in
duced to accept the money, but he finally
did, aud from that moment burdened him
self with the care of his new pensioner.
The details of this horrible event were
published in the principal journals of the
country. J. Meyer, a brother of the butch
er, reading sometime afterwards the adver
tisement of the magistrate, hastened in
stantly to his presence, he had fears which
he believed were too well founded, that his
brother had fallen into the hands of rob
bers; as he had left home with a large sum
in gold for the purchase of beeves, and had
not since been heard from. His suspicious
were only too sadly confirmed when the
magistrate related to him the singular con-
.1 . - - i ~ J — n,h! /.L It n rl rtf. AIM 11A / I V'l OV 01*
the murderer of his brother, for his dog
could not be deceived.
During almost all this time it was found
almost impossible to hold the animal, who
seemed determined to attack the prisoner.
Upon interrogating the latter, the judge
was not satisfied with his replies aud order
ed him to be searched. There were found
upon him a large sum in gold, some jewels
and five watches, four of them gold and
very valuable, while the fifth was an old
silver one, of but little consequence. As
soon as Meyer saw the last, he declared it
to be the same that his brother wore the
day he left home, and the description of
the watch published month previously, cor
roborated his assertions. The robber dared
not expose it, for fear that it would lead to
his detection, as he wa3 well aware it had
been described very minutely in all the
principal journals of Germany.
In short, after most minute and convict-
ive legal proceeding of eight months, the
murderer was condemned to be broken a-
live, and his corpse to remain chained up
on the wheel as an example to others. On
the night proceeding his execution, he con
fessed amongst his other crimes, what till
then, he denied that he was the murderer
of Meyer’s brother. He gave them all the
details above rslated, and declared that he

The Dog and the Assassin*

"While travelling in 178V, through the
beautiful city of Leipzig, I observed about
a league from the gates of the town, a few
rods from the high way, a wheel and the
hones of a chain corpse exposed to the
gaze of every passer.
The following, is a history of that crimi
nal, as,I learned it from the lips of the
judge who conducted the trial, and con

A German butcher being benighted in
the midst of a forest, lost his way, and while
endeavoring r tq gain thej-oad was attacked
by three Highwaymen. He was on horse
back accompanied by a large dog. One of

We find in the August i Chronicle &
Sentinel, the outlines of a speech delivered
by the Hon. A. H. Stephens, a few days
ago, at Orawfordville, his home. The fol
lowing extracts are sufficient to expliiu his
position in regard to the Presidency. He
said:
“There never had been so general a dis
satisfaction among all classes of people,
both North and South, as was produced by
the action of the two National Conventions.
The complaint was heard in Massachusetts,
New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Georgia, Texas and other States.
This discontentment arose, in part, from
the manner in which those nominations
were made, and the principles by which
the two great parties (as they are called)
are proposed to be kept up. These oigan-
izations, still preserving their ancient names
are entirely destitute of all unity of senti
ment or principle upon either the domestic
or foreign policy of the Government. The
Democratic Convention, by which Gen.
Pierce was nominated, was composed of
Freesoilers, Abolitionists, Secessionists, Ta
riff men and Anti Tariff men, Internal Im
provement men aud Anti-Internal Improve
ment men, the advocates of Intervention
and Non-Intervention—politicians of every
shade and complexion found a welcome to
this mongrel association. Their object was
power and office, and they cared nothing
for principle. With a body thus composed
it cannot be a matter of much surprise that
all the ablest and best statesmen of the
party should be sacrificed and set aside,
while some unknowu, unexpected, but
thought to be available individual, should
be taken up as the instrument of the party.
The result is known. A gentleman was
nominated aud was now a prominent can
didate for the first office in the world, who
was unknowu to nine-tenths of the Ameri
can people, aud whose public services did
not entitle him to the position. Mr. Ste
phens would say nothiug in disparagement
of Gen. Pierce. As far as he knew, he was
a man of fair ability, a lawyer of some emi
nence in his own State, aud that was all
that could be said of him. He had never
given the country any evidence of the pos
session of those high qualities, or that long
experience in public affairs, which should
Speech of Mr. T©©infos--His Posi
tion in the Present Canvass.
We have heretofore stated that Mr.
Toombs was expected to address the peo
ple of Wilkes county, where he resides, Tues
day last. The Washington Gazette furnish
es the following synopsis of his speech on the
occasion:
“Notwithstanding the inclemency - of the
weather on Tuesday last, a large number of
the citizens of Wilkes assembled in this
place to hear the views of our distinguished
Senator on the present state of political af
fairs. Never have we witnessed such an at
tentive audience as the one on this occasion;
it seemed as if all were willing to catch
every word which fell from the Hon. gen
tleman’s lips. This was no party meeting,
for we saw Democrats and Whigs, South- ance, which he did in a
ern Rights men, and Union men, and no
body's men, all congregated to hear what
our renowned statesman and fellow-citizen
might say.
For nearly two hours this attentive au
dience listened to the remarks of Mr. Toombs.
He began by reviewing the position occu
pied by hi nself for the past two years; that
he had not changed a single iota, but was
ready now, as he has always been, to give his
support to the men who would plant them
selves upon the broad principles of the
Constitution and the country.
Afcer reviewing the position of parties for
the past two years, Mr. T. then spoke of the
three candidates for the Presidency, now
before the American people. He commen
ced with Gen. Scott, showing most conclu
sively that he had no claims whatever upon
his fellow-citizens for that responsible station.
He spoke of him as a great General; admit
ed his achievments in arms against the Bri
tish, the Indians and Mexicans; that he was
the last one that would pluck a single laurel
from his military fame. On this point Mr.
Toombs was very eloquent, aud paid a just
tribute to him as a military chieftain, and
that was all could be said of him. Gen.
Scott was the tree-soil candidate—he was
for the annexation of Canada—but not for
any more slave territory—this Mr. T. was
bitterly opposed to, and recommended all
who thought it a moral duty to free their
slaves to vote for Scott.
The Hon. Senator next reviewed the polit
ical course of Gen. Pierce. He said noth-
entitle a man to be placed in the high and jng disparaging towards that gentleman,
responsible office of Chief Magistrate of this
great Republic. He had nothing to ex
pect from the election of Gen. Pierce, ex
cept the bringing into power of a class of
but on the contrary, spoke of him as a very
consistent man in all his Congressional ca
reer; that he had always acted with the
South, and was the safest man (on the slav-
men whose principles would be hostile to ery question) North of Mason aud Dixon’s
the true interests of the people. He feared
that the advocates of Kossuth, Intervention
and Young America Progress would lead
the couutry to war aud destruction, under
the banner of that party.
* * Sc ■* * St
Mr. Stephens next gave his reasons why
he could not support Gen. Scott, and pro
ceeded :
Under these circumstances, Mr. Stephens
then said—ho could not, and would not,
support the nominees of either of these Con
ventions, and if no other candidate had
been presented to the people of Georgia, he
would not have gone to the polls.—But it
was known that the names of Daniel Web
ster and Charles J. Jenkins, had been pre
sented to the independent voters of the
line. We thought that Mr. T. lauded the
Democratic candidate too highly; for we
believe there are many men North of that
line as sound a3 Gen. Pierce. He preferred
Pierce to Scott, but would not vote for
either.
We were a little amused while the Hon.
Senator was speaking in glowing terms of
Mr. Pierce, to behold the countenance of a
number of our Southern Rights friends
brighten up, as if they had secured a pow
erful ally in that gentleman. But when he
stated that the contest between the two par
ties seemed to be whether our next Presi
dent should be a big General or a little
General, a fainting General, or a sure enough
General, they were non-plus, and we pre
sume they burnt their mouths a little in
State. To that ticket he should give a ; trying to eat their porridge too hot! as did

character and services of these men, he

They were both tried and faithful
Mr. Webster’s claims was next consider
ed by Mr. Toombs. He gave his reasons for
preferring that gentleman above the others
vauts. Mr. Webster was identified with foa the Chief Magistracy. He admired him
the passage of the Compromise. He was
one of those gentlemen at the North, who
stood up for the right against the prejudices
of his own section. For this he had been
sacrificed by the North, aud for this, as a
southern man and an American, he, Mr.
Stephens, wished to do him honor. He al
luded to the state of things iu the country
when Mr. Webster made bis great 7th of
as a statesman, as a friend to the Constitu
tion; and contended that it was Webster
who stayed the flood of abolitionism—who
killed the Wiimot proviso—who dared, in
the face of the North, and in defiance of
his constituency, while speaking of the
rights of the South, boldly to exclaim, “Oh!
God, I will be just.”
Mr. Toombs paid a high, glowing and
March speech. There was no general yield
ing at the North upon the Wiimot provi-! 0 f the renowned statesman; said he
so until that speech was made.
from the Congressional Globe,
Temperancte Among Indians.
The well known Indian chief, the Rev.
Peter Jones, of Canada, has recently return
ed from a missionary tour among the In
dians on Lake Huron and Superior. While
with the <>arden River Indians, and being
detained by a storm, he held a temperancj
meeting, which he thus describes :
In the evening we held a temperance
meeting. Chief Waubojeig Washkee was
called to the chair, and made a short speech
after which the following brethren address
ed the meeting. Warner, Pitezen, Steel,
Gregory, B. Shingwink, and myself. The
usual pledge wits then readily signed by
105 Indians. Chief Ogestaih was then re
quested to proclaim the number who had
given their names to the cause of temper-
masterly manner,
causing his powerful voice to resound
through the woods, and along the shore of
the lake to a great distance. Ho rose up
and said :
“Hear me, hear me! Ogestaih has been
chosen to proclaim the result of this meet
ing. The number of Indians who now say
that they will never again drink the tire-wa
ter, is 105. These 105 Indians row say
that there shall be no more deaths by
drowning in the water—no more burning
to death—no more quarrelling or lighting
—no more bruised eyes—no more drag-
gingtbe wife by the hair of her Head—no
no more murders—and you who are hus
bands now say you will no more be jealous
of your wives; you, wives, say you will no
more be jealous of your husbands—and last
of all, Ogestaih says, that he also will no
more be jealous of his wife, That is all I
have to say.” At the conclusion of each
sentence, the usual Indian exclamation of
“kaik” was shouted from many wives
throughout the camp ground.

Letter from General Pierce.—The
Rochester Daily Advertiser, of August 30th,
publishes the following letter from Frank
lin Pierce, in regard to the religious and
property qualification tests of New Hamp
shire:—
Concord, (N. H.) July 15,1852.
My Dear Sir:—It is impossible that a
charge should embrace a more direct attack
upon truth, than that with which the Whig
papers have teemed with relation to my sen
timents upon the religious test contained in
our State Constitution, which was adopted
in 1792, and never amended since. The
charge is contradicted by every word and
act of my life having reference to the ques
tion, in any form directly or collaterally. I
advocated "the call of the Convention for the
amendment of the Constitution, which as
sembled in November, 1850, and the most
prominent object in my own mind was to
strike out the unjust and odious provisions
commonly called the religious and property
qualification tests from our fundamental law.
In haste, Your most Ob’t Servant,
(Signed) FRANKLIN PIERCE.
