NEARLY A HORN TOO MUCH. Mr. J. Stanley Smith, editor of the Au burn (N. Y.) American, girfes the following amusing account of his chatte by, and escape from, a savage bull, during a recent visit to a farm in the neighborhood of Auburn, to witness the trial of mowers.; .1 —* ... -. The bull was one of them. He was “ monarch” jpf all he could eat, chase or gore. Being deeply interested in the .apple field, we wandered out of the field in which the mowing was going on, into friend Shot well’s orchard, i’ut and handsome blooded cows were lying about, chewing their cuds, and utterly indifferent as to what was going on.- We wandered from tree to tree, in the orchard, and while critically examining some very tine looking fruit, were suddenly and rather unpleasantly startled from our train of thought by the bellowing of Mr. Taunts, whose majesty had been reclining, and of whose august presence we were mi aware. He elevated his tail, tnnde the oaxtli fly with his “ awful paws,” and having thus manifested his hostility, and given tone to bis idea that we were an interloper, made a plunge. A moment’s view of our antago nist .was just about enough. Ilis eyes flash ed fire. He rose like a “ Bull of Bashan.” Wedidnot AiaUfaucy the—stylo of-bis -burns.—They w ere straight as .needles,.and about as sharp. He exlnbiftHwit unmistaka ble desire to employ them upon us. .-. Knowing that it was expected of us to re port the test going on in another field, We remembered the prior aad pressing interests of our friends, and setup a” smart run. So did Mr. Bull! We scampered. *” lie scam pered. He “ made better time” than tve could “ bottormout.” He,gained on us rapidly. Wo could al most feel bis hot bread) on the back of our neck. It was neck or nothing. Rail fence twenty rods off. Bull within” five rods.— Tight race ! No bets. Bull in high spirits! Gave up for a “ goner.” Nd such tiling.— Friendly apple tree, with low branches!— Olutched two of them, and lifted our pre cious body into the tree! Taurus arrived just as we cleared the ground. Pawed and roared awfully—Taurus did. We attempted to reason with him. No sort of use. He was obstinate anil hard of heart. -Evidently a great scamp. We eyed him, he eyed us. good sight for. both of us. Being in tli’c newspaper line, we are in favor of the earli est publication of important news, but we confess that the Bul-let-in contemplated on this occasion shocked our sense of “propriety. Arid the fact that we were treed, mil- antipathy to practicing the popular feat of taking-the “ bull by the horns.” In this case it would assuredly have been “ a horn too tnuch.” So, , Mr. Editor lie „ Did climb flic tree,” The bull to see. - -Gnr enemy pawed around the tree, hel lowjedafterthe manner of “ Boanerges, the soil of Thunder,” glared at us, nnd'TinaJly turned and wandered off t ) the tlistance of about thVre trees. Thinking all was right, we slid down heroically and “ put” for the crazy old rail fence. The distance front free to bull and from tree to fence, was just about an dv’en thing. But our assailant saw the movement, atid once again the chase was. a hot one. But this time we distanced the “ horned critter,” and scaling the fence land ed in a field of rye, at about the same mo ment that our pursuer's horns struck the top rails of the fence, and sent them flying.— Separated by the fence, we read the scoun drel a lecture which we hope he will remem ber to his last moments. We made all due allowance in his case for the hubbub of flip mowing and reaping affair, but nevertheless concluded that lie was a great scamp. “AM I BOUND TO TAKE COFFINS.” 2 Mr. G— —, a veteran lawyer of Syracuse, used to tell a story of a c’ient. an impetuous old farmer, by the name of Merrick, who had a difficulty’ with a cabinet maker. As was usual in such cases,the matter excited a great deal of interest among the neighbors}- who severally allied themselves with one or the other of the contending parties. At length, however, to the mutual disappointment of the allies, the principals offered a compromise,by which Merrick was to take, in full of all de mands, the cabinet maker’s note for forty dollars, at six moots, “ payable in cabinet tpare ” Lawyer G was called upon to draft the neccsstr.ry papers to cous.urnate the set tlement, which, having been duly’ executed and delivered, the client was apprised that the matter was fully’ and amicably arranged. G saw no more of the parties until about six mouths after, when one morning, just as lie was opening his office, oßl'Merrick rode furiously up, dismounted, and rushed in, de fiantly exclaiming : “I- say, Squire, am I bound to take coffins ?” It seems, on tpe note'falling due, tfte ob stiuate cabinet .yiaker had refused to pay him id any otheryvay.— Ohce Branch, PRETTY AMERICAN COMPLIMENT] “Your English ladies are very handsome,” said a polite young American gentleman to Mr. I’unch.—•“ Your American girls are’ex quisitely lovely.” returned Mr. Punch, scor ning to be out done in courtesy.—“Ay, girls that is true : bnt they fall off as they count years. So* you see your women carry off the palm, and what’s more, it’s a palm that will bear a date.”—“ Bless ’em all,” said Mr, Punch, piously. ‘-‘Let’s liquor.” Some sow years ago Mr. Kidwelf was preaching to a large audience in a wild part of Illinois, and anounced for bis text: “In my Father’s house are many mansions.” He had scarcely read-the words, when an old coou stood upatid said: 4* “I toil you, folks, that’s a lie! I know his father well. He fives fifteen miles from Lex ington, in old Kentuck, in an old log cabin, and there ain’t but otao room in the honse.” *'■’ s— —‘—r jo The weakest spot in any man is where Tig thiuks himseff the wisest. WANT OF CONFIDENCE There is a capital anecdote from Hunt’s Merchant’s Magazine of 1839 : Want of U<npidb.\cb. —A little French man loaned a merchant five thousand dollars when times were good. He called at the couatiug-honse-A-few-day* since, i a state of agitation not easily described. “How do you do?” inquired the merchant. “Sick—very sick.” replied the monsieur. “What is the matter?” times is de matter.” “Dc limes ?—what disease is that ?” “De tualadie what brakes all de merchants ver much.” “Alt—the times, eh 7 —well, they arc bad, very,had, sure enough? but how do they aflT ecf yon ?” “Vy, monsieur, I loose de confidence.’, * “Ip whom?’, “In every boddy.” “Not in me I hope ?” “Pardoiinez inoi, monsieur; but I do not know who to trust at present, when all de merchants break several times, all.to pieces.,’ “Then I presume you want your money “Oui, monsier, I starve for want of l'ar gent.” ’ . . *■ _ “Han’t yon do without it “No, monsicar, l uutst have-him.”’ “You must, j “(ini jjnoiisietir r "said little dimit turning pale with apprehension for the safe ty of his money . 7 . “AatLytJti cant do without it ;’, “No monsieur, not von other little moment lougare.” • ‘ ‘’ The merchant reached his bank book— drew a check- on the good old Commercial ■for the amount, ami handed it to his visitor. “Vat is dis monsieur?” “A check for five4housnnJ dollars, with the interest.” “Is it bon?” said the little Frenchman with amazement.” “Certainly.” “Have you del'argent in the bank*?” 1 “Yes. “And is it perfaitement convenient to pay de sum ?” “Undoubtedly. What astonishes you ?” “Vy, dat you have got him in dees times. “Oh yes, and I have plenty more. 1 owe nothing that I cannot pay at a moments no tice.” The Frenchman was perplexed. “Monsieur, yott shall do me one leetle fa vor, eli ?” “With all my heart.” “VeH, monsieur, you shall keep dc Var gent for me some leetle year longer.” “Why, I thought yon wanted it.” “Tout au contraire. I no vant de l'argent, I vant de grand confidence. Supose you* no got de money, den 1 vant him ver much—su pose you got him, den I no vant him, don I‘ no vant him at all. You* eomprehemez eh?” After some 1 urtlitir conference the little Frenchman prevailed upon the merchant to retain the money .and left the counting-house • with a fight heart, and a countenance very different from the one he wore when he en tered. Ilis confidence was restored, and al though he did not stand in need of the mon ey ,hc wished to know that his property was in safe hands. ... This little sketch has a moral, if the read , er has sagacity enough to find^it. OUTRAGES BY EUROPEANS A Cnlcuttta correspondent of the London Daily News says that Europeans in the'dif ferent parts of the country have {tab all dis cipline at defiance, nijd committed great atro cities. At Dinaporca party of the Queen's 10 th broke out at .night anil bayneted in their beds eleven Sepoys—a portion of those who had remained faithful to their salt—and two women; there is no doubt they would have murdered the whole of them, but the shreiks and groans of their victims raisad .on ahum, and the butchery .was stopped. An inquiry into the matter has ended very unsatisfactorily Iq, a general order, 1 Gen. Outram'has declared it certain that tjie mur derers were of the 10th ; but the evidence as to the art uni parties was so unsatisfactory that no one has been This is not all: Gen. Wilson, commanding* before Del hi. had intimated his knowledge of many murders, having been committed-upon camp followers and other innocent persons by men belonging to his force, and his full determin ation to “carry out the sentence of any court martial that may come before him. At Mhow, a party of European artillerymen had plundered the treasury, and committed other atrocities, of which we havs not the de tails. All this is very bad and, will not be put a stop to until some signal examples are” made. The executions that have taken place in various parts of the country have been so indiscriminate that the Governor- General in Council has issned a minute put ting a check upon them, and prescribing a certain course of proceeding. LEAVES’ No manure is so well worth saving in October and November as the %iuw falling leaves of the saason. According to Payne, theycontain nearly three times as mnch ni trogen as ordinary barn yard manure; and every gardener who has strewn mid covered them hi his trenches late in the fall or-in De cember, must have noticed the next season how black and moist the soil is that adheres to the thrifty young beets he pulls. No vege table substance yeilds its woody’ fibre and becomes soluble quicker than leaves, nud from this very cause they are soCsi dried up scattered to the winds and wasted'if not now gathered and trenched ,tnp or cornposted, be fore the advent of severe.winter. a writer iu tiro Historical Magazine thinks that Congress should pass an act fixing a uniform mode for emblazoning the American flag. He counted nine different modes of ar ranging the.stars on the last fourth of July-, says that the same question might be askeij now that was asked twenty years ago, i* what is the American —* MARRIED A NEGRO—TIRED OF THE BARGAIN. A correspondent, understood to beJG, W. Williams, Esq., of writing to the Southern Christinnjzidvocate.respccting Can ada, says: “ We saw here (at Toronto) what I never expected to witness rm the . American tbrtiu ent—a white lady (?) married to aflat nose, unadulterated black negro. The woman was about 25 years old and rather good looking. The negro 40,and as ugly a darkey as you e vor saw. An Anglo African, six months old, was the result of the happy union! I asked her wliy sho married a negro. The reply was that site was not the first white woman iti Canada who bad married a colored man—, that it was a common occurrence. Uptm fath er inquiry, I learned that intermarriage be tween the whites and blacks seldom occurred. The Canadians are getting hartily sick of the hordes of “ fugitive slaves,” the abolitionists from the United States have run over there, and the government is taking active mensnres. to get rid of their negro population. How to dispose of them is a grave question. The free State.- have shut their doors agffiflst them The truth is, the African, is like cotton, rice nnd sugar, will not flourish North of Mason and Dixon’s lino. The-nogroes look like a poor cast-off, forsaken race; and the severe winters*are sending many of them to rm mt-” der-ground roa'drxvhmVirioy’ wIII femitm till the last day. When I snw so many wretch ed negroes without homes, and excluded from their churches,railroads, omnibuses, etc., I thought of our Methodist ChurcVeg in Charleston, with tlieiF six thousand happy’ colored members, and of our noble Mission aries, who jeopard their lives in traveluh through the rice swamps, exposing the™ selves to the deadly miasma, topre.ach Christ, and him crucified, to the slave. How differ ent from the Abolitionist, who do all in their power to seduce slaves from their comforta ble homes, and then abandon them to want and misery. This is Abolition consistency ! “ Blheding Kansas” has been a rich theme for these underground tbcives, and scores of honest hearted men and women have been ** hied” to feather the pockets of these swind ling impostors.” THE DUTCHMAN AND THE PANIC. Everybody remembers the “ money panic” they had at San Francisco some years since —and the story “J( ha Phoenix” used to tel of tits effects—individually illustrated. Be fore the fright, a frugal old Dutchman, by dint of hard labor, had accumulated some 8500, which he cautiously deposited in one of the banking houses for safe keeping Rumor soon came to bis ears that they were not very safe—some said that they had “ broke;.” Noxt morning, he tremblingly ,drew his balance and put the shining gold in -liis pocket. He breathed decidedly freer, but here was a dilemma. What should he do with it? He did n’ot dare to keep it in his shanty—and as for carrying it about with him it was too precious heavy. So, after a sleepless night or two—in constantapprehen siou of burglars—he deposited it in another “ banking office. Another day—the panic increased—there was run on his hank—he pushed in—drew his gold—and felt easier once more. Another anxious day and night for his “ monish,” nnd again it was deposited in a safe bank. This time he felt safer than ever before, and went quietely to his work. But the panic reached that hank, and anxious depositors besieged the doors. Mynheer heard the news, nnd put post-haste, book in hand, for the scene ot action—jammed in with the crowd—drew his gold, new and bright—put it safe in his corduroys—and was happy once more—but here wastlie dilemma again where t > put if. He had gone pretty much the rounds of the batiks, and having had such narrow escapes, cduldn’t any more, fie sat down on a curb-stone.nnd soliloquized thus : “ I put mine monish in von bank, ven he preak ; I put him in de edev batik, ven lie preak too, I draw him out; I can no keep him home; I put him in dis bank, naw dis (one preak ; vat tc tnyvil shall I do ?

NUMBER 11. TBI man, bibb. Wlto can fail to recognise the revolution which has for twenty years past been eo?n"> on in the Southern mind f Who does not see that this revolution, working slowly.timidly, and partially at first, is fast becomming a mightylnd tfinrongh-gofng fact 1 Twenty years ngo, the South was in a state of mental thraldom receiving her sentiments, on almost every subject, from minds foreign to her in terests—foreign to her whole environment— and echoing back those sentiments ai though they were the self-evolvod deliverance of her inmost soul. Twenty years ago the Sontli pleed guilty to the charge of inferiority, social and material. She looked npon her self ns a victim of a coarse more blighting than that of Kchntna, and from which she ear nestly, but almost despairingly prayed for deliverance. To her jauudiced vision, every surrounding object wore the sickly hut of predestined and inevitable decay, and while ■ \ nnkeo prosperity, Yankee polish Yankee thought, Yankee freedom, bounded the hori zon of her most ambjtious aspirations, and furnished all her bright models. Twenty years ago, the highest education was thought to be that furnished by Yale and Cambridge and thousands of Southern youth and maid ens-wwe annually sent to receive the finish -tog? touch at NotMnj institutions oflearning. But a revolution has begun. The South is every where rousing from unquestioning re repose, and is fast tnrniug from her slavish worship of the guilded Idols. Her very soul is stirred, and begins to put the might of gi gantic energies. Recoiling from her misplaced confidence, and seeing every wlierp that her (heart has |oved falsehood nnd been deceived by the flimsiest show, she is fast coming to assert her manhood and independence. 81m finds that Northern society is rushing fast to socialism, iufidelity and a crushing wreck Os every conservative institution; that labor and capital are there fighting a war of exter mination ; that the humanizing c hecks of chi v alry and religion have lost all power; that man and women, white and black, rich and poor, Christian and infidel, are mixed in k ter rible tnele”, from which no one can emerge untainted. Bhe finds that the institution of slavery, hitherto deemed the direct corse of any laud, lias preserve, d her from the doom of her envied compeer, and that, what waa everywhere esteemed her fatal curse, is, in ■ fact, her highest blessing and her brightest glory.
