Oh! Comrades, Fill no Glass for me.
BY STEPHEN C. FOSTER.
Oh! comrades, till no glass for me
To drown liiv soul in liquid flame.
For if 1 drank, the toast should be—
To blighted fortune, health and fame.
Yet, though I long to quell the strife
That passions holds against my life,
Still boon companions may ye be,
But, comrades, fill no glass for me!
I know a breast that once was light,
Whose patient sufferings need my care—
I know a hearth that once was bright,
But drooping hopes have nestled there.
Then, while the tear drops nightly steal
From wounded hearts that I should heal,
Though boon companions ye may me,
Oh! comrades fill no glass fur me!
When I was young I felt the tide
Of aspirations nndefiled;
But manhood’s years have won the pride
My parents centered in their child.
Then, by a mother's sacred tear,
By all that memory should revere,
Though boon campanion.s ye may be,
Oh! comrades, fill no glass for me!
The Girl with the Calico Dress.
BY ROBERT JOSSELYN.
A fig for your upper ten girls.
With their velvets and satans and laces,
Their diamons and rubies and pearls,
And their milliner figures and faces;
That they may shine at a party or ball,
Emblazoned with half they possess.
But give me in the place of them all,
My girl with the calico dress.
She is plump as the pairidge, and fair
As the rose in its earliest bloom,
Her teeth will with ivory compare.
And her breath with the clover perfume.
Her step is as free and as light
As the fawn’s whom the hunters hard press,
And her eye is as soft and as bright,
My girl with the calico dress.
Your dandies and foplings may sneer,
At her simple and modest attire.
But the charms she permits to appear.
Would set a whole iceburg on fire!
Sh'* can dance but she never allows
The hnggiug. the squeeze and caress,
She is saving all these for her spouse,
My girl with the calico dress.
She is cheerful warm-hearted and true,
And kind to her father and mother,
She studies how milch she can do
For her sweet little sisters and brother.
If you want a companion for life,
To comfort enliven and bless,
Sbft is just the right sort for a wife.
My girl with the calico dress.

Fasltio"able Amusements,
A correspondent writing to a rural
paper from Albany, thus refers to a new
a musement introduced at 4ashional.de
parties:
“Now fashions have been introduced into
Albany by the wives of ‘Hon.’ gentlemen
of New York city. After a ‘bop’ at the
Delevan, the other night one of the ladies
who gave the fashions which are followed
ed in this harbor; thereby securing large accessions f ort he amusment of the party
to the business and population ot Brunswick. - - — 1
The Brunswick and Forida Railroad is in steady
progress of construction westward, the whole line
being under contract to Thomasville.
Further particulars may he had at the office of
the Company, No. 4 Wall-street. New York, or of
Col. Charles L. Schlatter, Chief Engineer B. A: F.
R. R., Brunswick, Ceorgia.
H. G. WHEELER, Secretary P. C. B
New-Y’ork, March 2. 1857. 47, -It
ot the late Congress, a naval station was establish- |jy t he country girls ‘rode the Elephant’
" forthe amusment of the party. This is
performed thus. Two gentlemen stoop
down on hands and knees, pillows and blan
kets are piled on their backs for saddles—
a table and trunk are made of suitable
material—when tbe rider-m is placed up
on the saddle and carried around the room!
1 expect to bear that ‘riding the Elpehant’
is ‘all the go’ in the rural districts?”
The Albany Atlas admits the fact, and
thus describes the modus operandi of the
performances:
“The gas in the parlors is partially turn
ed off so as to produce a sort of twilight
darkness, when two gentlemen, the tallest
present, are requested to take tlieir posi
tion in tlic back parlor. Their position is
thatadoped by boys when playing leap
frog. A large cloth of some subdued
color—dark gray, for instance—is then
throw over them, and another rolled up, is
attached to the front, which constitutes the
trunk. Two sheets of white paper are
then rolled up and tacked on, one on each
side of the trunk. These represent the
ivory tusks. The Albany Elephant is now
complete. The lady rider takes her seat,
on its back, amid cushions, etc., and under
the guidance of a leader, the monster pro
ceeds with heavy tread to display itself
and precious load to the company in the
front parlor. The arrangement is unexpec
tedly perfect, and suggestive of life in the
East. The play of the ‘Elephant* is a
success here, and we will not bu suprised
to bear, of its adoption in the rural dis
tricts.
Shelbyville, (Term.,) Oei. 16, 1856.
Messrs. Perrv Davis and Son: Sirs—(Gratitude to you,

A stubborn Stripling.—A big stripling
fresh from Vermont, once entered the
Hummer Academy at By field. Mass. At
that, time the hoys and girls were kept in
one appartment, only the middle aisles
separating them. One day this Vermont
stripling, who had just been helping one of
the girls through a hard sum, thought it not
more than fair that he should take toll for
his services; accordingly he threw his
stalwart arm around the rosy damsel and
gave her a sly hut rousing smack, which
startled the whole assembly.
“Jedediah Tower, come up here!” roared
out the preceptor.
The delinquent appeared, his face glow
ing with blushes like a red-hot warming-
pan, and looking as silly as a ninny.
“Hold ont your hand, sir!” said the peda
gogue- “I’ll teach you not to act thus in
this institute.”
The huge paw was extended in a hori
zontal line towards the instructor, who
surveyed its broad surface with a mathe
matical e ve—calculating how many strokes
of his small ferule it would take to cover
the large number of square inches it con
tained.
“Jedediah,” at length he said,“ this is
the first time that you have been called
up for any delinquency; now, sir, if you
will say that you are sorry for what you
have done, 1 will let you off this time
without punishment.”
•‘Sorry,” exclaimed the the youngster,
striking an attitude of pride and indigna
tion, “sorry? NostV! 1 am not. And I will
do jest so agin ef I hev a chance. So, put
on, old feller, jest as hard as you like. By
the jumpin’ Jehosiphat, I’d stand here
and let you lick me till kingdom kum afore
I’d be sorry at that'.”
To Siccetcn Rancid Butter.—An agri
culturist, near Brussels, in Europe, having
succeeded in removing the bad smell and
disagreeable taste of some butter by hea
ting or mixing it with clilroride of lime, he
was encourage by this happy result to con
tinue his experiments by trying them upon
butter so rancid as to he past use; and he
has restored to butter, the odor and taste
of which was insupportable to all the sweet
ness of fresh butter. This operation is ex
tremely simple and practicable for all. It
consists in beating the butter in a sufficient
quantity of water, into which had been
mixed 25 or 30 drops of chloride of lime to
two pounds of butter. After having brought
all its parts in contact with the water, it
may be left for an hour or two; afterwards
withdrawn, and washed anew in fresh water.
The chloride of lime used, having nothing
injurious in it, can safely be increased; but
after having verified the experiment, it
was found that 25 or 30 drops to two and a
half pounds of butter, were sufficient.
est elder again! “She hadn’t meant any
thing by what site said. Ah! she never
thought how wicked it was to say so much
that didn’t mean anything.”
The upshot of the whole matter was,
that Sister Scrub, “saw herself as others
saw her.”
She ceased making apologies, and be
came a wiser and better Christian. Elder
Blunt always puts up there, always finds
everything as it should be, and with all
his eccentricities, is thought by the family
the most agreeable, as he is acknowledged
by everybody to he the most consistent of
men.— Tales and Talkings, by lice. J. T.

Historical Evidences of the Authentictic-
ity of the Bible Record.—The Paris corres
pondent of the Journal of Commerce thus
alludes to the discoveries made by Sir
Henry Rawlinson in Assyria, confirmatory
of the Bible Record:
“Among the recent public lectures in
London, you, may he struck with that of
Henry Rawlinson, on late Oriental dis
coveries in relation to the Bible. It oc
cupied nearly an hour and a half. Sir
Henry expatiated on some of the most
important results of his discoveries in
Assyria, constituting a verification of scrip
ture history; he illustrated his topic by
numerous drawings and models taken from
the sculptures now in the British Museum.
He could induce, by abundant Ooiucience,
the authenticty of Holy Writ. The ear
liest to which the inscriptions he had
found referred, was above two thousand
years before Christ. The whole country
of Assyria had been excavated in the course
ot his researches; a multitude of inscrip
tions had been deciphered, and in many
instances they confirmed, in the minutest
details, the pages of scripture and explain
ed passages which had hitherto been ob
scure. The instances which he had cited
them with instruction and force; the inter
pretation or derivation of names in par
ticular. The earlest connection of the
Chaldes and Indians and the Babylonian
mythology; the ethnology and geography
of the Assyrians, the historical records,
are all illustrated; in every case, there is
an entire agreement with the Bible. The
lecturer from his studies that the Book of
Job belongeal to a time about seven hun
dred years before Christ. In the inscrip
tions there is a period of nearly a thou
sand years, without the mention of Judea,
during that period there were no induce
ment for interconre between the Assyrians
and the Jews.—The visit of the Queen of
Sheba to Solomon was verified. So, the
wars between Semnucherib and Hezekiah.
There were four distinct captivites of the
Jews. Some inscriptions referred to the
time of Nebuchadnezzar; otherthrow light
on the existence and actions of Belshazzar,
who was joint King with his father Minus,
aud who shut himself up in Ninevah.
Kliirr Blunt and Sister Scrub.
In one of the Eastern States there is a
settlement which has long been celebrated
as a stronghold of Methodism. A few
rods up the road from the school house
lived Squire Scrub. You could tell, at
first sight, that the “Squire” was “well
to do” in this world. His house was the
itinerant’s home; and a right sweet pleas
ant home it would have been, but for a
certain unfortunate weakness of the every
other way excellent Sister Scrub. The
weakness I allude to was, or at least it
was suspected to he, the. lore of praise.
Now the good sister was really worthy cf
praise, and she often received it, hut she
liad a way of disparaging herself and her
performances, which, some people thought,
was intended to invite praise No house
wife kept her floor lo king so clean and
her walls so well white-washed as she.
Every board was scrubbed and scoured
tiil further scrubbing and scouring would
have been labor wasted. No one could
look on her white ash floor, and not ad
mire the polish her industry gave it. The
“Squire” was a good provider, and Sister
Scrub was an excellent cook; and so their
table groaned under a burden of good
things on all occasions when good cheer
was demanded. And yet you could never
go in the house, and sit half an hour, with
out being reminded that “Husband held
Court yesterday, and she shouldn’t keep
the house decent.” If you sat down with
them, she was sorry she “hadn’t anything
fit to eat.” She had been scrubbing, or
washing, or ironing, or she had been half
sick, and she hadn’t got such and such
things that she ought to have. Nor did it
matter how beautiful, or how well prepar
ed the repast really was, there was always
something deficient, the want of which fur
nished a text for a disparaging discourse
ou the occasion.
Elder Blunt," the circuit preacher, was
a good man. His religion was of the most
genuine experimental kind. He was a
very plain man. He, like Mr. Wesley,
would no more preach a fine sermon than
wear a fine coat. He was celebrated for
his common-sense way of exhibiting the
principles of religion. He would speak
just what he thought, and as he felt. He
somehow got the name of being an eccen
tric preacher, as every man, I believe,
does, who never prevaracates, and always
acts and speaks as he thinks. Somehow
or other, Elder Blunt had heard of Sister
Scrub, and of that infirmity of her’s, and
he resolved to cure her. On his first
round, he stopped at “Squire Scrub’s,” as
all other itinerants had done before him.
John, the young man, took the elder’s
horse and put him in the stable, and the
preacher eutered the house. He was
shown into the best room, and soon felt
very much at home. He expected to hear
something in due time disparaging the do
mestic arrangements, but heard it sooner
than expected. This time, if Sister Scrub
could he credited, her house was all upside
down; it wasn’t fit to stay in, and she was
sadly mortified to be caught in such a
plight. The elder looked arouud the
room, as if to observe the terrible disorder,
hut said not a word. By and by the din
ner was ready, and the elder sat down
with the family to a well spread table.
Here, again, Sister Scrub found every
thing faulty, the coffee wasn’t fit to drink,
and she hadn’t anything fit to eat. The
elder lifted his dark eye to her face; for
a moment he seemed to penetrate her
very soul with his austere gaze; then slow
ly rising from the table, he said, “I want
my horse immediately: I must leave.
“Why, Brother Blunt, what is the mat
ter?”
“Matter? Why, sir, your house isn’t
fit to stay in, and you havn’t anything
fit to eat or drink, and I won’t stay.”
Both the “Squire” and his lady were
confounded. This was a piece of eccen
tricity entirely unlooked for. They were
stupified. But the elder was gone. He
would’ut stay in a house not fit to stay in,
and where there wasn’t anything fit to eat
or drink.
Poor Sister Scrub! She wept like a
child at her folly. She “knew it would
be all over town,” she said, “and every
body would he laughing at her.” And
then, how should she meet the blunt, hon-
Runaway Hatch—Married in Haste—
Voiced Never to repent at A//!-r-About the
middle of last week, an elderly-looking,
but highly respectable cab was* observed
to cross Randolph street bridge, and find
its way to one of the smaller hotels of the
West Divesion. There was a driver tocon-
trol its motions, and a couple of fares
whose wishes guided the latter functionary.
There, was a lady and a gentleman. We
beg the latter’s pardon for giving his com
panion the preference and precedence: the
fact is not of our creation. A timid-look
ing young man and a fair one by several
years his senior, alighted from the cab and
entered the house. The names of John
F. Smith and lady were entered upon the
register, and the couple settled themselves
in their new quarters. John came over
to the post office on the succeeding day,
and returned to his lady in a state of great
agitation.
While he was endeavoring to convey to
the mind of his bride, for such she was, the
cause of his perturbation, the discovery
that her father had followed them to this
city-, she chanced to glance out of the
window, and uttered a small scream, as a
middle-aged, hard-featured man appeared
on the opposite side of the street, earn
estly gazing at the house, The man in
the butter-nut coat and severe countenance
did more than that. He crossed the
street and entered the House, and di
rectly thereafter a heavy pair of boots,
keeping time to the slip-shod foot-falls
of a waiter, were heard approaching room
No. 12.
Hirectly there was an excitement in ad
vance, succeeded by an excitement in
reality, as an angry father met his Mary
Jane in that appartment.
John left the field to the father and
daughter. There was no help for it, how
ever. The pair were fast married. They
had come into Chicago over the Michigan
Southern Railroad, from the interior of In
diana, and the knot had been tied as fast as
knot could he tied.
There was a romance in the affair. The
fair one was heiress of broad, rich acres in
Hoosierdom. He had been in her father’s
employ, and was poor. Love overleaped
all hounds, and the couple bad eloped. It
was Lord L’llir/s daughter reproduced,
except that no disaster took place to soften
his butternut, coated lordship, and he im
mediately sought legal advice.
Most excellent good fortune for all con
cerned sent him to the office of our friend
Jones, one of the best fellows, and a most
excdhnt counselor in this instance. He
recommended a truce and amity, and made
the advice cogent by hinting to Lord Ullin
that he “couldn’t do anything else.”
Mary Jane came down from her high horse.
John plucked up his courage to look his
father-in-law (late his employer) in the
face. They were reconciled, and the
whole party left the city on Saturday en
routejfor their home in the vicinity of Indian
apolis. f Chicago Press.
A Safe House to slrp In.—A lawyer of
high reputation, in the city of Philadelphia,
was traveling in one of the Southern States;
and being belated one evening, after a long
day’s ride, he was compelled to turn into a
house ou a solitary plantation, and ask for
shelter and hospitality for the night. His
request was granted.In the course of the
evening, he thought he observed something
reserved in the master of the house, which
awakened his suspicion. He was at length
conducted to his chamber, which was
adjoining the family room. There he
dewlt on the circumtances which had al
armed him, till his excited imagination was
filled with thoughts of nightly robbery and
assassination. He preceded to barricade
the room as well as well as he could. He
fastened down the windows; against the
doors he piled up tables, chairs, every thing
that was moveable in the room. While
thus engaged, words uttered in a low voice
caught his ear, and increased his alarm.
He placed his ear at the key-hole. The
man of the house was engaged in prayer,
in family prayer. Among the objects of
intercession, he was praying for“the stran
ger whom the providence of God had
unexpectedly brought to lodge beneath
their roof that night.” When he got
through, our travelling friend arose from
his stooping posture. Imagine the change
in his feelings. All his fears had vanished.
Thengh no Christian himself, he know that
the prayers of Christians are like guardian
angels to the abode in which they are
offered up; and went to bed and slept sound
ly and sweetly, feeling that the house
where God was feared and worshipped,
was a safe house to sleep in.—American
Messenger.
A Cold Weather Anecdote.—Among the
many sharp things in “Porter’s Spirit,” is
the following which, considering the pre
sent spell of cold weather, is about as
sharp as need be. A heavy fire having
occurred in Cleveland, a sate manufactur
ing firm in New York wrote to the suf
ferers from the fire to ascertain how one of
their safes had stood the scorching. The
proprietor wrote back the “safe” was “safe”
—that it was wonderful, and adds that the
night previous to the fire, one of the clerks
placed a Shanghai rooster in the safe for
SAFE-keeping. In the morning the safe
dug out red-hot, opened, and the rooster
found “leaning up agiuinst the ledger,
frozen to death!” The yarn is rather
trying to a man’s faith, but we suppose it
must be true—in a horn.
Distillation of the Beet.—We see it sta
ted in our last English papers, that over
§1,000,000 in value of beet-root spirits were
distiled in France the last year, while the
amount in 1853, was only $100,000—thus
showing the entire success of the business.
This success has induced the excise com
missioner $ of England, to establish an ex
perimental beet-root distillery, which is
now in operation in Farningham in Kent,
and which promises to equal the expscita-
tior.s which have been excited in regard
to it.
——
A Great Cheese Factory.—The Louis
ville Courier tells of a gigantic cheese dairy
in operation in Trumbull county, Ohio.
The proprietor does not keep all the cows
from which his cheese is made, but con
tracts with all the farmers within eight or
ten miles to furnish the curd from their
cows at prices which net them a larger
amount than if they manufactured it into
cheese themselves. He usually pays
about 4i cents a pound for it. He keeps
six or eight teams employed in collecting
the curd from the neighboring farmers—
some two hundred iu number. Two rooms
are occupied for curing the cheese, capable
of holding 250 tons of cheese. In these
rooms the services of three men are con-
stauly required. When ready for sale
the cheese is principally put up in tin boxes
for the Californian and Australian marketB.
About 200 tons of cheese have been man
ufactured the past season.
Why does a blacksmith seem the most
dissatisfied of all mechanics?
Because he is always striking for wages.
From the Boston Daily Advertiser.
The British llaTT.
The Navy of Great Britain is doubtless in a state
far preatcr'efficiency at the present moment for
any service that mny be demanded of it than at any
former period, especially for its ability to meet at
once such n demand as that now made upon it,
for eiiher reinforcing the squadron before Canton
or tor transporting thither troops and supplies at
very shonKuoticc without the hiring of transport
ships Til's superiority over its condition at any
former period is to be found not merely in the num
ber and size of the ships, but iu their being in a
very large proportion made navigable by steam as
well as by sails, and of vast variety of size and
form of construction. The supply appears to be
ample of vessels of all sizes, from the most power
ful tbree-d. cker to the light gun-boat, adapted to
the navigation of the shallowest waters, and from
the fleetest steamer to the clumsy gun-boat and
floating battery—the latter being aided in tlieir
distant movements by tug-boats of various descrip
tions. The improvement extends not merely to
the construction of the vessels, but to the increas
ed power of the armament, and to the skill, acquir
ed by practice, in the effective use of it. Many
of the vessels of some of the classes are built ex
pressly for service on the shores of the Baltic, and
were brought home and laid up for future use be
fore they were brought into actual service.
Iu addition to the ships built previous to and
during the Russian war, a portion of which have
been butjust released from service in the Black
Sea, and are now on their way home to England,
a considerable number have been built since the
close of the war, and the work is still going on.—
From our London papers just received we learn
that at the ship-yard at Chatham, in particular,
ship building is going on with great activity. The
vessels of war now in course of construction at
that yard alone measure, in the aggregate, about
2J,9D0 tens. The Renown, a 92 gun screw steam
er of 3,317 tons, was to be luuuced on the 2fitb of
March, and another large serew steamer is to be
immediately laid down on the same slip. There
are several vessels in a forward state tended to be
launched in the course of the year, among which
are the screw steam corvettes Racoon atid Charyb-
dis, each of 21 guns. The building and repair of
ships is constantly going on a: the other public
yards, in addition to the labor of putting ships not
required for present useiu a state of penervation.
Among the vessels now laid up are a number of
steam-boats, which were drawn up by a marine
railway and stored dry, according to the recomen-
dation of Mr. Jefferson, many years ago, for the
preservation of the gun-boats built at an early
period of the administration, as described in the
Advertiser some mom hs since. A portion of the
English gun-boats built for service in the Baltic
are now on their way to the waters of Cantou, to
be brought into conflict with the schools of junks
which abound there. In case of a protracted war
in China they are likely to find employment on
various parts of the coast -
It is not only the supply of ships, but in the sup
ply of seamen that the British service lias under
gone a great improvement since the commence
ment of the Russian war. So remarkable is this
improvement that, in place of any difficulty in
keeping up a complete supply in the number of
seamen, the first Lord of the Admiralty, two or
three weeks since, in the House of Commons in mo
ving the supplies for the different branches of the
naval service, stated that the number of seamen to
be employed for the ensuing year “had not bean
reduced quite to the intended extent, owing to tho
reluctance of the sailors, most of » bom were ‘con
tinuance men.’ to quite the service.” This un-
nsai state of tilings we rind explained by the effect
that has been produced by several causes, such ns
an increase of the pay of the men, an improvement
in the previous furnished for their subsistence, aud
a reform in the treatment which they receive,
whereby the service has become so popular that tho
men readily enlist for a tern) of ten years.
The number of men provided for in the naval
service for the ensuing year by the estimates just
submitted to Parliament is 53,700 seamen, of whom
33,000, including 2,000 apprentices, arc sailors on
board “her Majesty’s fleet.’ 15,000 are marines, and
5,700 are coast-guard men. On the occasion of
reporting this estimate to the House of Commons,
Sir Charles Wood stated that out of the 33,000 sai
lors now employed in the navy as many as 23,500
are men engaged for ten years, and lie added that
when a ship was paid off, a few days before, the
entire crew of which were serving on these 'terms,
“not a single man was inclined to leave.”
We have alliidod to these statements, made on
the occasion above referred to, as containing in
formation of the facility with which|the Brtish navy
is manned without the ancient resort to impress-
men, which will probably be new to many of our
readers.
New Jersey Pearls.—There appears to be consid
erable excitement at Paterson, New Jersey, in re
gard to the finding of about three hundreed pearls
(real) in muscle shells—the affair seeming likely
to transform the Jersey flats into a new
East Indies. The New York Tribune has the
following:
“A friend assures ns that one pearl as large as a
small marble (not a piece of chalk) has been shown
to Tiffany &. Ellis, the well-known Broadway jew-
eleri, who estimated its value at $1,00,1, and offer
ed to advance $700 on it. It lacks the peculiar
tint of the Eastern pearl; otherwise its value would
be almost incredible. The man who owns it has
already sold small pearls to the amount of $203.—
Everybody is on the search, and whatever may
be the result, there is evidently no lack of muscle
at the diggings.”
Labor Saving Receipt.—The Ohio (Cultivator says
“take one pound of sal soda and half a pound of
unstacked lime, put them in a gallon of water and
boil twenty minutes; let it stand till cool, then
drain off and put it in a stonejugor jar. Soak your
dirty clothes over night, or until tliny arc well wet
through, then wring them out and rub on plenty
of soap, and in one boiler of clothes well covered
over with water, add one teHspoontul of the wash
ing fluid. Boil half an hour briskly, then wash
them thoroughly through one snds, and rise well
thro’ two waters, and your clothes will look bet
ter than the old way of washing twice before boil
ing- This is an invaluable recepit, and we want
every poor tired woman to try it. We think with
a patent wash tub to do the little rubbing the wash
woman might take the last novel and compose
herself on the lounge, and let the washiug do it
self. The woman who can keep a secret has
known this a year or two, but her husband told it
while on an electionering tour.”
Another Alias.—The facility with which the op
position change their party name has been fre
quently the subject of amusing comment. In sev
eral of the New England States they new style
themselves “the Union party”—not a party to up
hold and perpetuate the Union of the States, but a
party which owes its present temporary, mischie
vous existence to a union of abniitiunists, black
republicans, know nothings, infidels, and lunatics.
In alluding to this fusion or “union” party, the
New Haven Register well remarks;
“This is the twenty-fifth name that the oppo
nents of the democracy have taken in the present
generation; and we now predict they will get flog
ged out of this, just as they hav,- been from all the
rest, before the year is out. Their names have
been generally good; there could be none better
than whig,republican, or American; the three last
used up. It is, however, the bad conduct, the un
patriotic and traitorous ends of their leaders, that
renders it immaterial what name they take. They
have no national principles—no fixed policy—no
common bond of union. They tiust to nothing
but some momentary excitement—some side issues
—some new humbug about negroes, and having
no confidence in the masses of the people, they
live on delusion, and make merchanUise of isms.”
A Receipt Worth One Thousand dolla's.
—Take one pound of sal soda and hall a
