SARGENT S. PRENTISS.
From Spark’s Memoirs e? Fifty Years )
When Prentiss and Wood were the Whig
candidates lor Congress in Mississippi, and
Claiborne and GholSon the Democratic can-
McNutt was the Democratic candi
date for Governor. The campaign was a
most animated one, and Prentiss addressed
the people in very nearly every county in
the State ; the people, en masse, Socked to
hear him, and his name was in eVe*y mouth
The Democratic nominees did not attempt
to meet him on the stump. His march
through the State was over the heads of the
people—hundreds followed him from county
to county in his ovation. McNutt alone
attempted to meet him and speak with him,
and he only once. McNutt was a Virgin
ian, and was a man of stupendous abilities ;
he was a lawyer by profession, and
Governor of the State. Next to Poindexter,
was the ablest man who ever filled the
chair Unfortunately, like most of the
voung and talented of that day in the West,
he was too much addicted to the intoxica
ting howl. Upon the only meeting of these,
Prentiss and McNutt, the latter, in his
speech, urged as a reason for the rejection
or defeat ot the former his dissipated hab
its. admitted hie great abilities, his master
ly genius, pronounced him the first man of
the age intellectually, but deplored his
habits, which were rendering him useless,
with ail his genius, learning and eloquence
Prentiss, in reply, said;—"My lellow
citizeos, you have heard the charge against
iriv morals, sagely, and l had almost, said,
soberly made bv the gentleman, the Demo
cratio"nominee for the chief executive office
of this State. Had I said this, it would
have been what the lawyers term a mis
nomer. It would be impossible for him to
do or sav any hing soberly, for he has been
drunk ten years ; not yesterday, or last
week in a frolic ; or socially, with the good
fellows, his friends, at the generous board
—hut at home, and by himself and dem
ijohn ; not upon the rich wines of the Rhine
or the Rhone, the Saone or the Quadal
quiver ; not with high-spiri'ed or high-wit
ted men, whose souls, when mellowed with
glorious wine, leap from their lipssublima*
ted in words swollen with wit, or thought
brilliant and dazzling as the blood of the
graoe inspiring them —no; but by himself,
selfish and apart from witty men, or en
nobiing spirits, in the secret seclusions of a
dirty little back-room, and on corn-whi -
key—these only, communing in affectionate
brotherhood, the son of Virginia and the
spirits of old Kentucky. Why, fellow-citi
zens. as the Governor of the State, he re
tused to sign the gallon-law until he had
tested, by experiment, that a gallon would
do him all day.
“Now, I will admit, fellow-citieens, that
sometimes, when in the enjoyment of social
communion with gentlemen, I am made
merry with these, and the rich wines of
glorious France. It is then I enjoy the
romance of life. Imagination, stimulated
by the juice of the grape, gave to the world
the Song of Solomon, and the Psalms of
that old poet of the Lord—glorious old
David.
I “The immortal verse of wandering Ho
mer, the blind son of Scio's isle, was the
inspiration of Samian wine, and good old
Noah, too r would have sung some good
merry song, from the inspiration of the
juice of the wine he planted ; but having to
wait so long, h s thirst, like the Democratic
nominee’s here, became so great, that he
was tempted to drink too deeply, and got
too drunk to sing; and this, I fancy is the
true reason why this distinguished gentle
never sings.
“Perhaps there is.no- mueic in his soul.
The glug—glug—glugot his yog, as he tilts
and pour? from its reluctant mouth the
corn juice so loved of his soul l , is all the
music dear to his ear, unless it be the same
gl U g—glug—glug as it disappears down
his capacious throat.
Now, fellow-citizens. duTitig this ardent
campaign which has been so fatiguing, I
have only been drunk once. OVer in Simp
son county £ was compelled to sleep in the
same bed with this distinguished nominee
—this delight of the Democracy—’this won
derful expooentof the principles and 1 prac
tices of the unwashed Democracy—and in
the morning I found myself drunk on corn
whisky I had lain too close to this soaked
mass of Democracy, and was drunk from
absorption ”
“This was more than the Governor could
stand, and, amidst the shouts and langhter
of the assembled multitude, he left the
stand, and declined to meet again belore
the people, the young Ajax Telamon of the
Whig party.”
Sandwiches. —“What do tne Arabs of
Ae desert live on, pa?” asked a roguish
little girl of her father.
“Fudge! Nelly, that's an old conundrum.
They live on the sand which is (sandwiches)
there,”
“Yes;.but, pa. bow do they get them?”
“Well, really. Nelly, I give it up.”
“Why, pa, don’t yot* know that the sons
of Ham were bred and mustered in the
wilderness ?”
“Come, come, ray daughter' that is too
killing. Don’t say another word.”
“Ob, yes; do tell me what they eat on
their sandwiches.”
“Eaton’ em ! Why; what do they eat
on them ?”
“Butter, to be sure.”
“Butter! How do they get butter ?”
“Why, you know, pa. that when Lot’s
wife was turned into a pillar of salt, all the
family but her ran into the wilderness.”

An Arkansas Father’s Advice t) his
Son. Bob, you are about leaving home for
strange parts. You are going to throw me
out ot the game and go it alone. The odds
are agin you, Bob —remember thatindu>try
and perseverance IV e the winning cards,
as they are the ‘bowers.’ Book learning,
and all that sort of thing, will do to fill up
with, like small trumps, but you must have
the bowers to hack them, or they ain’t
worth shucks 1 If luck is agin you pretty
strong, don’t rave and look like a sick chick
eu on a rainy day, but hold Up your head
and make them believe you are flush of
trumps ; they don’t play 8o hard agin you
I've lived and traveled around some, Bob,
and I’ve found out that as soon as folks
thought you held a weak hand, they’d all
buck agin you strong. So when you are
sorter weak, keep on a bold look out but
play cautious ; be satisfied with a pint.
Manys the hand I’ve seen ’em eucre, cau-e
they played for too much. Keep your eyes
well skinned, Bob; don’t let ’em nig you;
recollect the game lays as much with the
head as with the hands. Be temperate,
never get druok, for then no matter how
good your band, you won’t know how to
play it; both bowers and the ace won’t
save you ; for there’s sartin to be a miss
deal, or something wrong. And another
thing, Bob, (this was spoken in a low tone)
don’t go too much on the women ; queens
is kinder poor cards, the more you have <>f
’em, the worse for you ;• you might have
three and nary trump. I don’t sav discard
’email; if yon get hold of one that is a
trump, it’s all good, and there will he one
out of four. And above all, Bhbv he hon
est; never take any man’s trick Wot don’t
belong to you, Dor slip cards or nig; for
then you ean’t look your man in the faee ;
and when that’s the case, there’s no fun in
the game ; its a regular cut-throat. So now.
Bob, farewell, remember wot I'tell you, and
you’ll be sure to win ; and if you don’t it
sarves you right if you get skunked !
Chrysostom’s Eloquence. —The follow
ing burst of eloquence lrom Chrysostom,
when he was sentenced to banishment, is a
good specimen of the style of this “golden
mouthed’ > preacher!
What can I fear? Will it be deathT But
you know that Christ is my life, and that I
shall gain by death. Will it be exile ?' But
the earth and all its fullness is the Lord’s.
Will it be the loss of wealth ? But we
brought nothing into the Wor d, and can
carry nothing out. Thus all the terrors of
the world are contemptible in my eyes, and
I smile at all its good things. Poverty Ido
not fear. Riches Ido not sigh for. Death
I do nut shrink from, and life I do not de
sire, save only for the progress of your
iouls. But you know, my filends, the true
cause of my fall. It is that I have not
lined my house with rich tapestry. It is
that I have not clothed me in robes of silk.
It is th it I have not flattered the effemin
< ancy and- sensuality of certain men, nor
laid gold and silver at their feet. But why
need I say more? Jezebel is raising her
persecution, and Elias must fly. Herodias
1 is taking tier pleasure, and John must be
bound in chains ; the Egyptain wife tells
her lie, and Joseph must be thru-t into
prison. And so if they hat»i-h me, I shall
be like Elias ; if they throw uie into the
mire; liffe Jpremiah ; if they plunge me
into the sear,- like the prophet Jonah ; if
into the pit, like Daniel ; if they stone me.
it is Stephen that I shall resemble ; John,
the fore-runner, if they cut off my head;
Paul if they beat me with stripes ; Isaiah,
if they saw me asunder.
A Suggestion. — We observe daily on our
streets, mothers pushing along before them
gigs of their little ones, while giving them
their usual morning and* afternoon airings,
but will not a moment’s reflection conviuce
all that to draw them is by far the more
rational and sensible way of performing
this parental and delightful duty ?-' Riding
backwards sickens many people, and why
should it not effect babies similarly? The
pushing method causes the tender little
form to lean forward in a heap, whicn
cramps the lungs, injures the stomach, tires
the limbs, retards circulation, inclines for
ward and downward and instead of refresh
ing the child, must of necessity fatigue and
eihaust it. By the opposite practice the
body is forced back against proper sup
ports, the lungs have free play, circulation
is unimpeded, and the ride cannot but
prove healthy and beneficial. Mothers, be
merciful and try it.

Woman —Home should be the most at
tractive place on earth. What a sham life
must be, where home is nightly abandoned
for theaters, operas, balls, and the of society
others. He i? unworthy the relation of hus
band and father who prefers the Compan
ionship of others to that of the Wife of his
youth and the children he has hegotton.
But the attractiveness of home is the work
of woman. Here is the throne of her pow
er and glory. Not in the legislative halls,
not at the ballot-box, nor in short clothes,
but at home, the guardian of infancy, the
instructor of childhood, the companion of
youth, the partner of manhood, the comfbrt
er of old age; let her diminish Sorrow by her
sympathy, Lighten joy by her gayety, soothe
by her tenderness, dignify by her intelli
gence, elevate by her devotion. She is to
make home all this by tmlsio, and pictures,
and books, Rnd delightful conversation.
Especially should home be intenselv religi
ous. The fires of devotion should hum
brightly and cheerfu ly on the domestic
altar. Sweetly and gently each spirit should
evince its Coiißtßtit find higher CommunioD
with Jesus. Home will then be a retreat
from care, a refuse from sorrow, the ante
chamber of Heaven.
How To lStop a Paper —The following
article, taken from an exchange, was doubt
less written when the editor was in a bad
humor. What’s the use of getting mud
about such a little matter?
“Y »u have an undoubted right to stop a
newespaper whenever you are disposed,
upon payment of all arrearage. Do uot hes
itate to and » so on account of any “tenderness
of feeling for the editor.” Don’t you sup
pose he would stop buying sugar of you, or
meat, clothing, dry-goods, etc., if he
thought he was not getting his money’s
worth ? And when you discontinue your
paper do 30 manfully. Don’t be so pitiful
as 10 throw it pack to the post master with a
contemptu >us, Y don’t want it any longer !’
and have "refused” marked on the margin,
and have the paper returned to the editor.
No gentleman ever stopped a paper in that
way, no matter if his head is covered with
gray hairs that should he honorable. If
you do not wish longer to receive a news
paper, write a note to the editor like a man
saying so —and be sure that arrearages are
paid.- This is the way to stop a newspa
per.”
The City of Hereafter. —Says an emi
-1 ©'it divine: “When I was a little hoy I
thought of heaven as a great shining city,
with vast walls and domes and- spires and
with no one in it ex'cent white angels* who
were strangers to iiVe. my
little brother died, and I thought of the
great city, with walls and domes and spire®,
and a flock of cold, unknown angels, and'
one little fellow that I was acquainted with.
He was the only one I knew in heaven at
the time. Then another* brother died, and
there were two that f knew. Then my
acquaintances began to die, and the flock
continually grew*. But it was not Until I
sent one of mv little children to biff Grand
parent — God—that I* began to think I had
got a little in myself. A 4 second* went, a
third, a fourth ; and by that time I had so
many acquaintances in heaven that I did
not see any more Walls and’ dbmes and
spires. I began to think- of the residents
of the celestial city. And now tHert have
been so many of uny acquaintances got
there, it seems to me I know more in heav
en than I do on earth.
The Effect of Climate —We once heard
a story of some negroes that had mastered'
the Irish brogue, and plaved a tr*ick on a
boat load of emigrants who were so eager
to set foot on the soil of the Net* World
that they left the boat before their com
panions.
“An are yees just over, boys?" said a
jet black African in the richest possible
brogue, and with the warmest interest, as
he bent over the wharf where he and hie
comrades were at work.
The straagars regarded him with looks
of mingled astonishment and terror, while
one of them found br< ath to inquire : An
how is it that yees are black ?”
“Its the cloimate, boys ; its all in the
cloimate, ,, was the answer.
“An how long did it take ?” said the
anxious spokesman, “ to make ye that
color ?”
“Three year?, an’ niver a bit longer. ’*
“Thin, bedad, boys,” said the Paddy to
his countrymen, “let’s go back, it is too
