B3k_Will our delinquent Htibscribers read the following truthful lines, tnore full yf fact by far, than poetry; but as truth is the essence of poetry, it is oven good poetry. The Printer’* Holienliiulcu. In seasons when our funds are low, Subscribers are provokiug slow, A few supplies keep up the flow Os di wes departing rapidly. But we shall see a sadder sight, When duns pour in from morn and night, Commanding every sixpence bright To be forked over speedily. Our bonds and due bills are arrayed, Kach seal and signature displayed; The holders vow they must be paid, With threats of law and chancery. Then to despair we’re almost driven, There’s precious little use of livin’, When our last copper’s rudely riven From hands that held it lovingly. But larger yet those dues shall grow, When interest’s added on below, Ler.gtb’ning our chin a foot or so, When gazing at them hopelessly. ’Tis so, that scarce have wc begun To plead for time upon a dun, Before there comes another one, Demanding pay ferociously. The prospect darkens—on, yo brave I Who would our very haeon save; Waive, patrons, all your pretexts waive, Aud pay the Printer cheerfully. Ah! it would yield us pleasure sweet, A few delinquents now to meet, Asking of us a clear receipt, For papers taken regularly.— Ex. Ben is on the romance. He wants the Soutlj like Moore’s Ireland of old, where a lovely maiden, decked in gems, could wander throughout Erin without coming to ill. He, Beo—says the report —“would wait to give tho vote to the white mca of the South until it would bo safe for all men to vote; until it would be safe for every Uuion man in the South to sleep in his ca’in with the latcb-s*riug out Then he would go with the gentleman (Mr. Farnsworth) for the white man, and not till then, so help him God! not till then ’’ AdU Lord help the white man when B n doos “go for’’ him, for when did he ever go for anything that he did not homologate into his own use.-? As to the latch string being out, how many persons go to rest in Boston or sweet Essex wi bout bolting the door? And how does the waste of unborn life in those regions compare with the ootasional lynebiug o: a segro ravisher othcrwheres? M r over the welfare of the white man in this country docs not depend, be it known, on this ui)bottled gad-fly, neither on any nor all of his coadjutory p’smires in eithtf House. They buzz and wriggle aud nip, but we fancy the great wheel will revolve, however they may hum on its rim.—[A r cw York World. Roltnkss.—At one of the ragged schools in Ireland, a clergyman tukid the question, “ W-bat is holiness ?” A poor Iri-h convert, in dirtv, t«tt:red rags, jumped up, and said, “Piaso,your riverenoe, it’s to he claue inside.” Would to God that all the party names and unscriptural phrases and forms which have divided the Christian world wore forgotten; and that we ntigh sit down together, as humble, loving disciples, at the feet of our common Master, to hear his word, imbibe his spirit, and transcribe his life into own. —John Wesley. We may be engaged in tho work of the Lord ns well with a spade ora plow in our hand, as a Bible; on our knees scrubbing a floor, as nn our knees in the attitude of prayer— Guthrie. A crazy man having got in the gallery of the Senate of Ihe United States du ring a rambling debate, was taken out, the Sergeant-at-arms telling him that he was out. of place in that gallery. “That’s so,” said tho lunatic; “I ought to te on the floor with the Senators.” ‘l’m afraid you don’t like the babies when they cry,’ said a matron to a gco tleman, as she tried to soothe tho dar ling in her arms. ‘Oh, yes,’ said he, ‘I like them best when they cry, because I’ve always ob served that they are carried out es the room.’ Beauties are apt to die old maids.— They set such high value on themselves, that the market closes before they can find a purchaser. An old woman dr’ving a four-foGed troup into a city was accosted by a man with, “Good morning mother of doD keys.” The dame meekly replied, “Good morning to you, my son.” You are unfaithful to your soul if you enfeeble its servant* the body; you arc more unfaithful to it .-till if you enslavo it to its servant. A girl up in Oreeno county, lowa, having been jilted by a naughty fellow, didn't act the fool and take poiton, but took a stick aud pelted him over the head, When a lady indulges in a yawo or two, gontlcmen are justified in guessing their hats arc needed on tbeir heads, and that the right side of the door is the out side. If you put two persons in the same bed-room, one of whom has the tooth ache, and the other is in love, you will find that the person who has the tooth ache will go to sleep first. Large quantities of pig iron from ! about Woodstock, Shenandoah county, I Va., are sent to Alexandria by rail and shipped froua that jort, [Ftom the N. 0. Picayune. The Trial* of Love-Maliliitf in u Tlicuf re. A flew evenings since many of the audience of a fashionable theatre had thtir attention attracted to a young lady nnd gentleman occupying a se cluded nook iu the dnesa circle. They did not appear to be there so much to onjoy the play ns to be near each oth er, It took no stretch ol the imagina tion to view thorn as lovers. There was a tenderness m look nnd aetioo-, a gentleness <.f mein, a carossing fond ness visible in the hidden pressure of the hand, which said, as plainly us words could say, that cupid was again busy with his pranks. For them the world was all cotdeur de rose; the cup of their happiness was full to tho brim, and the moments flew by them golden footed, and rosy with promises rich ui a bright prospective. It is scarcely necessary to aay the la dy was young nnd pretty ; the incident wouldn’t boar telling if she wasn’t.— The old saying that “fine feathers makes fine birds,” derived no signifi cance from her. Nevertheless she was richly clud, and the costly robe was secured at the waist with a belt fas tened with a golden buckle. The play had a night scone in it, and all at once the thetlre was darkened and a dense gloom settled on tho nook the lovers occupied. The thrilling in terest of the scene attracted every eye to the stage. Truly, they were alone in a crowd ! It was a propitious moment. Lov ingly the arm of the youth stole around the fair form so delicate in outline, so willowly and inviting; no wonder an electric thrill burnt along the veins of the encircling member, and made the arm cling more passionately. But suddenly the lights blazed up, and with a quick jerk the youth sought to remove bis arm; but as fate would have it, tho tongueof the bucklo caught in the cuff of his coat. It held him like a hook. “Mercy ! remove your arm,” whis pered the lady frantically. “I can’t!” and the youth tugged again at the obdurate buckle. “Oh, take it away ! do, I beseech jou “I’m trying, don’t you see ?” and again he essayed to release the sleeve h s struggles only made fast. By this time the suppresse 1 whispering had attracted tho notice of the Lieople around them. One, more oflierving than the rest, perceived the cas* of tho embarrassment, but aware of the rea son why tho tender caress was perse vered in, reached ever the back of his chair with the admonition—“l say youngster, wait till v>n get home; you’re making a fool of yourself.”— Maddened by his own ineffectual ef torts, and the lady's overwhelming dis tress, the youth made one supreme ef fort at reiease, and jerking the lady half way round, tho treacherous buckle quit its hold, just as the rebuking voice of the rebuking stranger advised him that, if he’d only wait till the curtain fell, he should have the whole corner, and might then feast on tho sweets tho gods had provided. (Ylial one Swallows with Rrttv Nugar. The Aearus Sacckri, or sugar insect, may not be a novelty to entomologists, but the sugar eating public will learn with alarm the fact that uDn fined sweet ness is alive with “animals.” One au thority informs us that there cannot be less hundred thousand acuri in every pound of sugar Wc have heard tell of ‘animated cheese,” but “vivified sugar’’ is still more startling. And the worst of it is, these little animals resom ble, under a mieroioope, a sea t rab There are the same claw feet and shell backs, but both are highly ornamented with sharp pikes that sticks out like quills upon an angered poicupinc, Im agiuc a .score of thousands of these ani tti)l anitualculm in a man’s stomach, the result a single cup of coffhe! And then they aro pertinacious, and push their way to the soiface, disdaining lin ings and mcmbranccs, where they perch directly under tho skin. Their lodg ment there is tho signal f„r that very desirable and cleanly disease, psora or scabies, vulgarly termed “itch.” We have no consolation to offer to those who choose to be afflicted with this disease, or this theory of its origin, except what may be drawn from the fact that pure or unrefined sugar is free from the in sect. WkLL Done, Connecticut! -It has ever been the case in the past, that where • Presidential election has boon carried by a sweep, so to speak, as was that of last autumn, the dominant party has had its own Way in the succeeding spring elections. Therefore, as General Grant carried Connecticut last fall by a ma jority es 3,000 there was no reason tu suppose, upon old ideas, that that fig ure would cot be augmented in the elec tion yesterday in Connecticut to 5,0U0 What is the result? A close vole for Governor? A Congressional delegation equally divided, where it would h£e been, we think, all one way had Con* grossmen been elected last autumn; and Democratic gains in the Legislature! Does not General Giant see from this the setting of the.tide, and the hand writing on the wall? Will ho heed tho people? — National ItUclligcncer. jpapTWolvos are committing many ravages in the northern part of Atuitc county, Miss. A number of sheep and hogs have been killed already.
