John rejrularly attends all the public paiherinps in the country, under the pretence that he is a Reporter for a newspaper; but his real object is tc sell his books, which he hawks around, in im itation of the New York news hoys, xclaiminj;': "Here, gentlemen is ye grand history of ye preHt Cfht amongst ye harmonious Democracy, writ ten by myself, that id me, I, egb, John W. White, tell lie graphic operator, by Inspiration won't you buy a copy only 10 cents" We can only snjrgest to John, 5ri conclusion, that he should get up another edition of his little book, done up in poetry, and pink kivers; and to insure its ready sale, he mi((h tiny instead of ery his rhymes iu public .places, in imitation of Jloroer, who flang his rerses in the streets of Greece. In that caie, possibly, posterity might appreciate John's stupendous talents, and the "bounties of Knox and Muskingum might go to war to settle the question as to which should blaim the honor of Lis birth: i'Thre tnijrtty eitiiMi wurred about a II ner dead. , Through which a Homer living beggod his bread." 5.

This charge is false as it Is foolish. The truth is, no such question as "Lecoinpton" or "Auti-Lecomptou" entered into the contest at all. In all his letters, addresses and speeches. Mr. Montgomery moat positively repudiated the idea that Lecomptouism had any thing to dr . wiflf the contest. He wished it t be distinctly unuerstood that he ran as an old fashioned Democratic, candidate, and asked for a.-.re-nomination, as an "honor that has been almost universally accorded t Deruacralic Represent at ivs. i In a letter addressed to Joseph (3 add,.

It is with profound regret that we learn through the Belfast Daily Mercury of the 9'h iilf.. of the death of Cattiii Pirrie. whose eventful life was calmly and silently closed, at his late residence in the city of Belfast. Ireland, nn iho morning of the Hili ultimo. C.ipf. Pirrie was an Uncle tn "our w.irtliy arid resiected friend Mr." 11 ibert Miller, of t his city, and on bis last visit to this country we! had- lhe pleasure i f a personal ac-ipiaintHiice with hi in, tlurin which we discover ed those marked traits of bis charactar so graphically described in the ZL-.rcury containing bis obituary.

He became a citizen of the United States du ring the war between Fnglaiid and France, and resided in the city of New York; but his early habits aud ;euerg tic nature, alike forbid the idea of abandoning the pur-nits that had becomw ideiilifi.-d wil U bis nature. lie accordingly fii'ted out hi.

Li May, 1771), leaving his wife and offspring, having Fiuley as his pilot, and four others as his companions, iha-vouii'' man of nlmiit three aud twenty -wandered through the wilder-ness ot America,; "in quest of the country of Kentucky," known to the savages as "the Dark and B!oO ly'Or .uud," "the Mi ldle Grouud," between the stibj-cts of the Five Nations and the Clierok.js. Al'u-r u, long and fatijfuijig journey ihrouh mountaiii ranjps, the party found themselves in June, on tti-i II-1 B ink, a tributary to the Kentucky, and froni the eminence surveyed with deliuht the beautiful plain that stretched to the northwest. Here they built their shelter and began to recoiinoitrei ami to hunt. All the kii ds of wild beasts that were natural to America the stately elk, ihe timid deer, the anilered stng, the "wiW cat, the btar, the panther, and wolf crouched among the cune3, or roamed over the r'u-h grasses, which, even beneath the thickest shades, sprang luxuriantly: but . of the generous soil. The bulf iloes cropped fearlessly the herb-ajej or browsed 'on" the leaves of the reed, aud were more frequent iban cattle in a settlement of Carolina herdsmen. Sometimes there were hundreds in a drove, and round the salt licks the number was amazing. The summer, in which, for the Grst time, a party of white, men enjoyed the brilliancy of nature near aid in the valley of Eikborn, passed away iu the occupations of the exploring parties and the chase. But one by one Boon's party dropped, off. till he was left alone with John Stewart. I bey j iintly foiiud unceasing delight in the wonders of the fores', till one evening. neur the Keiitu.-ky river, they were taken pris oners by a baud of Indians, wanderers like them selves... They escaped aud were j lined by Boon's brother, so that when Stewart was soon after killed by the savages, the first victim among the hecatomb of white mh slain by them in their dosper:Ue battling, for the lovely bunting groundj B on still hat his brother to share with him the du lifers and attractions of the wilderness, they building and occupying the first cottage iu Ken tucky.;-. - '":--; V-;; : - r".

" In the spring of 17.S0, that brother returned to the settlements for. horses and supplies of am munitions, leaving the renowned hunter 4,by him self, without bread, or nalt, or sugar, or even a horse or d ig." "The idea of a beloved wife, anxious for his safety, tinged his thoughts with sadness; but otherwise -the cheerful meditative man, careless of wealth, knowing the use of the rifle, not the plough, of a strong, robust frame, in the vigorous health of early manhood, igno rant of books, but veraed in the forest life, even fond of tracking the deer on foot away from men, yet in his disposition, humane, generous and gentle, was happy iu the uninterrupted sac cession of "sylvan pleasure." One calm summer's evening, as he climbed a commanding ridge, and looked upon the remote 'venerable -Mountains,-. and: the .nearer ample plains, he caught a glimpse, in the distance of the Ohio, which bounded the land of bis alTec tions with raaadc grandeur, his heart exulted in the region he had discovered "All things were still." Not a breeze so much as shook a leaf. He kindled a fire near a fountain of sweet water. and feasted on the loin of a buck. He was no more alone than the bee among the flowers, but communed familiarly with the whole universe of life. Nature was his intimate, and as the roving woodsman leaned confidingly on ber bosom, she responded to his intelligence. . For hinLthe rocks and fountains, the leaf and the blades of grass bad life; the cooling air la den with the rich perfume, came to him as a friend the 'dewy triomtn wrapped him in iu embrace; the Uees stood upi gloriously round about him as so many: myriad, of companions.

Shortly after, they proceeded to Cumberland riv er, giving names- to the different waters, and then returned to his wife and children, fixed In his purpose at the risk of his life and fortone, to bring them as soon as possible to live in Ken tnckv, which he esteemed a second Paradise. cjjurtmcnt: BONNETS. Of all the charms dear woman wears, Of all her many traps and snares, For real effect there's naught compares ' With a truly pretty bonnet; For when or where'er you chance to meet dne that is perfectly, modest and ueat, Yyt may depend 'tis a proof complete That the head has more in than on it. ... . No matter whether she's pretty or not, II jw much or how little money she's got, Whether she lives in mansion or cot, 'l is a fact, depend upon it; The woman to make a man happy thro' life, To make a model m'other and wife. Is one who, scorning this milliner strife, . Wears iTplaiu and tasteful bonnet. Now a bonnet of genuine beauty and grace.-Worn on the head in its proper place, Shadowing finily the wearer's face. 'Is a thinsr for a song or a sonnet;" But oii3 of these gay and gaudy things. Made up of rainbows and butterfly wings, A mixt ure of flowers, ribbons and strings, - Js dreadful, depend upon it. t A vulgar mass of 'Tuss and feather." r A-lhtltf of everything thrown together, ' As if by a touch of windy weather, A wretched conglomera ion A sort of cup to catch the pair, .Leaving the head to ''go it bare," A striking example of "Nothing to Wear," Is this bonnet abomination. . It makes a woman look brazen and bold, Assists her :q catching nothing but cold, Is bad on the young, absurd on the old, And deforms what it ought to deck; For look at her face, no bonnet is there, See at the side it hsrn by a h?r; i-, View it behind, aud you will declare That the creatu re has broken hjjr neck. . No matter where you may chance tobej No matter how many women yoa see;-A promiscuous ctowd or a certain she, You may fully depend upon it . That a gem of the every rarest kind, A thing most difficult to find, A f)et for which we long have pined,' - Is a perfect ''Jove of a bonnet.' .

A Wife Worth Having:. A correspondent of the New York Times, la writing from Watertown, Jefferson county, N.

This'done, they robbed him of his money and the keys of the prison, and were calmly taking their leave, when they were "brought up all standing," by beholding the jailor'a little wife point ing at them, through a railing, a loaded re vol ver, and calmly informing them that she would put a bullet through the first man who attempted to come forward. A conversation somelhin? like this, followed : - Prisoner The devil yoa will! You! don'i know how to shoot it.! Mrs. Baker Try it and see, if yon like! I have been practicing with this pistol for the past few days, and I promise yoa I will kill the fir3t man who comes forward. Prisoner Well, if that's the game, we'll be quits with you. Now, take your choice, young wdiihii either let us pass out in Deace. or sub mil to have your husband's brains knocked out against the walls of the jail. Which do you like best? Perhaps that won't be srav. nor nothioc. just to see hiin layin? out there cold and; stiff, with his brains laying around. Ha! ha! d d pretty picture ain't it?

In the course of lhe debates on the law of divorce, during this session, the following results of tbe working of the existing law were cited from out of the recent experience of Prus si a as evidence of its demoralizing effect: One instance was alluded to o f a gentleman making up a rubber of whist at a watering-1 place, consisting of himself, bia actual wife and the two wives he had previously been divorced from. A farmer, getting tired of his wife, an exemplary, modest woman bribes one of his farm-servants to seduce his wife into adultery a crime attended with no punishment to the unmarried partv. ; The crime having beeu consummated, be petitions for a divorce on that ground and obtains it. lie then marries anoth er woman, who, some time after, detecting him in illicit intercourse with one of his female ser , vants, procures ber' "own divorce from him; on which ho proceeds to marry, for: the third time, the person with whom be had on this occasion committed adultery. A man of property who had fallen in love with the wife of his physician, who was poor, prevailed on the latter, by the offer of twenty thousand thalers, to getdivor-ced from his wife, so that as soon as this should be effected, he might marry the wife so divorsed, which be did. Two married couples who bad no children, and no prospect of having any, came to the conclusion that the unfruitfulness of their connubial life might possibly be remedied if they were otherwise mated. They accordingly all got divorced, and each man married the other's wife. - ; Turktsh Babies. It is the drollest thing in the world to see a poor Turkish woman rolling along with her baby; just . preventing it from falling into the gutter, her loose yellow slipper from falling off at every step, ber yashmak from ' showing too much ofber face, ber feridjee from flying away, and her open-worked etockinga (which are generally full of boles if she has any) from getting splashed in the terrible filth of the roads,' or rather dirty alleys. The jbibieg. are wonderful little bundles of tat, ancomfortableness and finery: They hardly seera like Jabies t Jl, generally have an old looky with very whit .faces and very black eyes.

The Jerusalem, correspondent of the Boston hPosf graphically describes , the ruin and desolate condition of the Holy City. He says: The woman, clothed from bead to foot in. white sheets, with their faces concealed by a blaak vail resemble so many ghooles just risen from their subterranean abodes; more especially as they have a great fancy for ; cemeteries, where they daily congregate to howl. No sound of youth there are no boys ia the streets no sound of wheels there are no carriages the dogs, man gy and wolfish, snarl and snap when you distuib them in their daily work as scavengers, and make the livelong night hideous with tbeir con tentions tbe very birds do not sing, but cry to each other with a dissonant chirp, or complain with a harsh murmur. From the horrors of the citVt if we pass to the environs, we find nanght but bare rocks around stones aud dust beneath the bright sun, reflected from every object, burns into the brain no grass, no trees, co green thing the promeuades are cemeteries the seats are whited sepulchers. Here have been buried whole generations of Jews; here are the bones of the Assyrian, the Egyptian, the Chal dean, tho Persian, the Greek, the Syrian, the Roman, the Saracen, the Crusader, tbe Turk.. In fine, Jerusalem is t.aught but a "heap" of mol-deriag bones and shattered houses. The West Caleb Cushing, in his late speech at Boston, p-il the following eloquent aud striking tribute to the West. "Jealousy to. the South! Such would not be rav theme, if the dem m of sectionalism had so far possessed itself of me. I should not strive to draw tbe attention of Massachusetts away from the only real danger of. a sectional nature which threatens, and to fasten her attention on an imaginary one. Not by the comparative! r small section of the Union lying between Mason k Dixon's line aud the Gulf of Mexico, is the sceptre of the piwer of this Union to be held hereafter, but by those vast regions of the West. Slaleafler State etretching out like star in the blue depths of the fifmancnf, far away to the shores of the Pacific What is the power of the. old Thirteen, North or South, compared with the mighty West! There is the seat of empire, and there is the land of imperial power, and the encroachment of the. South. Massachusetts and South Carolina will be together but as clay in tbe fingers of the potter, when the great West bh all stretch forth its arm of power, as ere Ion? it will, to command the destiny of the Union. Sackifl-y up. Water from Saxi. Livingstone, the African traveler, describes an ingenius method by which tho Africans obtain water, in. the desert: "The women tie a bunch of grass to one end of a reed, about two feet long, and insert in a hole dug as dep as the arm !l reach, then ram down the wet sand firmly around it. Applying the mouth to the free end of the reed, they form a vacnum in the grass beneath, in which the water collects, and in a short time rises to the mouth. It will be preceived that this simple, but truly philosophi cal and effectual method might have been applied in many cases, in different countries where water was greatly needed, to the saving of life. It seems wonderful that it should have been now first made known to the world, and that it should have been habitually practised in Africa, probably for centuries. It seems worthy of being particularly noticed, that it may no longpr bo neglected from ignorance: It msy e highly important to travelers on our western deserts and pariries, ia some parts of "which water is known to exist below the surface." Chicago Going TJp. The editor of .the Philadelphia American Presbyterian, writing from Chicago, under are" cent date, says: t The Chicazoans are actually carting in dirt from tbe country to raise .the site of their city. Afte raising tbe streets from three to ten feet, they go to work with jack screws and supporters raise the houses and underbuild them. I yesterday saw a row of bouses, four- story brick hous es, with a front of twenty-four windows, thus raised in one mass some ten feet, and a whole story being built beneath them, to bring them up to the new grade. People were living in the houses, with their geraniums in the windows, as undisturbed by this upheaval a if it were a tri fle. " V;"- "- It is gratifying, indeed, to hear of tbe gradual elevation of a city like Chicago. S; ci'l ii "A Coffix," said an Irishman, "ia the bouse man live in when be ia dead."

A great deal has been written in regard to the care, management atid training of coltag. and it is'a subject worthy of the closest study of the breeder, as iho value, of the horse depends next after his blood and pedigree entirely upon the manner in which it Is reared and trained for use.' The following letter from a genUemau in Plainfield embodies much sound sen33 upon the subject: "If I had a colt one year' old that bid fair, to make a horse worth, one, two or five hundred dollars, 'I would givo him a stable at night ten feet square, by himself; keep -nt well littered, with sawdust, fina shavings or straw. I would nl.t have him stand on anjthi.-.g wet, aud weuli feed, him all the hay, (good clean hay,) Ge could eat, and would feed him something besides every day; say carrots cut up fine, with a little Indian meal mixed with there, cr a quart or two of oats, well soaked. If T intended to keep him for my own use, I wou'-J teach him to eat a!m-'f, everything; such ns sour milk, good hog s I and pumpkins. I would not break hiin to di all these, but I. would teach him, caress him, : m ike him thick, if possible, that I was Lis best J i-tend. . 'Cults want exercise, and should have a warnv yard to run iu all tho plaasatit Jays, but not in th: mud, or w'uh horued cattle. A blanket i seldom necessary. "Mr. Gray inquires: when shoulJ he ba broke? I say never, neozr! Teach him as mjch as you can, but don't break him! tbat is all out of fashion. Teach him to do as you tell him, to come and go at your will; m ike a prirticular friend of him, and you may use him at any ago you pK-asa, bu be careful not to use bim hard or badly. Cattle may be used at the aga of two years, as well as boys at seven and eight; and when he is two, three or four years old, a few days before yoa wish to use him, put on the hames, put him ia" the thills, and let bim stand several hours; layby bim, foudle him all over, lead him about and call him some name. Do this for several dsya, and the first time you bitch him to a buggy be will go as you tell bim. . When he will go well before a carriage, then put on the martingales, and a check, if he does not carry Lis bead to please; by degrees draw his head as you wish to have him carry it; and in a "short time it will become a habit that can easily be retained. The time was, and is now in som places, when every one thought a colt must be bitted; that is out a great strong bit in his raouth and draw, bis head into his brea3t, and bare him throw himself down, while a cart.whip wa.j lacerating his sides, all of "which is just the thing to spoil a colt. I say never bit or breaJi a colt, nor burn the hampers."' Some Faets ia Agricultural- Scienos. What will produce mold that is, water carbon and salts forms manure. The great difference in the action of manures depends on the differences of salts they contain. Mold is active in proportion as it U more or less dissolved by water. Somo substance render mold easily di&jo'y able in water, and' mold, being valuable in proportion to the ease with which it is dissolved, whatever enables it to dissolve may be ad led to it, and will increase its value. These substances are tbe alkalies and alkaline earth. t The property of producing a 8ubUnca which make gold soluble depends on the nitrogen of the manure. This nitrogen, in the process of decay of at'imal and vegetable matter, becomaa . ammonia." - A pound of nitrogen ma'ses two and abal pounds of volatile, salt, or ammooia; ia equal to a busbel of wheat. . . .. .. The constituents of plant? are, oxygen, nitrogen and chlorine gases, lime, clay, magnes'a iron, manganese and silex, potash and soda, phosphorus, sulphur and carbon.
