Tt was not in the Mississip; it ’was on the north side of the negro line ; yet that mmpliment, as the negroes are mostly born on the same side. I started in <r bd as poor as a church mouse, yet I come honestly by m verty, for inhetfted it ; and if T did start 4 r, day is not a co no man can < but that I've hel own pretty well. Candidates generally ask you: if you think they are qualified, &. Now, I don’t ask your thoughts—I ask your except to watch that Swan’s name is no! on your ticket; if it 1s, think to scratch it off and put mine on. I’m ecertair I’m competent—for who ought to know better than Ido? Nobody. I will allow that Swan is the best au ditor—that is till I'm clected. Then perhaps it is not proper for me to say any thing more. Yet, as an honest man ['m bound to say that it’s a grievous sir: to hide any thing from my fellow-citizens. Therefore [ say it’s my private opinion, publicly expressed, that I'll make the best auditor ever in the United States. *Tis not for honor I wish to be auditor, for in my own county I was offered an office that was all honor, coroner ; which I respectfully decliged. The auditor's office is worth some $5,000 a year, and Tam in for it like a thousand of brick To show my goodneas of heart, I'll make this offer to my competitor. I>am sure of being elected, and he will lose some- thing by the canvass; therefore I am willing to divide equally with him, and make these two offers: I’ll take the sal- ary, and he may have the honor; or he may have the honor, and I'll take the salary. In the way of honors, I have ived enough to satisfy me for life. I t out to Mexico, eat pork and beans; slept in the rain and mud, and swallowed everything except live Mexicans. When I was ordered to “‘go,”’ went ; “charge,” charged ; “and break for thgchaperell,” you had better believe I beat a quarter in doing my duty. ° fy competitor, Swan, is a bird of golden plumage, who has been swimming for the last four years in the auditor's pond at $5,000 a year. Iam for rota- tion. I want to rotate him out, and to rotate mysclf in. There’s plenty of room for him outside of that pond, there- fore pop in your votes for me—I'll pop him out, and pop myself in. I am for a division of labor. Swan says he has to work all the time with his nose down upon the public grinding- toa pint. Poor fellow, the public ought it up as a sacrifice. 1 clap it on the grindstone. Fellow-citizens, grind away, ow T holler enuff, and that'll be sometime rst. Time’s most out. Well, I like to for- got to tell you my name. It’s Daniel— (for short, Dan; not a erage name, for my ents were poor people, who lived ~hes the quality appropriated all the nice names; therefore they had to take what was left and divide around am)—R. Russell. Remember, every one of you, that it’s not Swan. pe sure to be elected; so one and all, great and small, short and tall, when you come down to Jackson, after the etection, stop at the auditor’s office—the latch-string always hangs out—enter Dr. Braumont.—While this weli- pulpit, Hull, England, on Sunday morn- ing, he suddenly expired. He was struck down just as his lips had uttered the first two lines of the following verse : “Toee wh le the Girs archangel : ings, He hides Ine face behind bis wings: And ranks of shining thrones around, Fall wershipping aud spread (he ground.” The effect upon the congregation who witnessed this solemn scene, may be imagined, but cannot be described. A general shtick interrupted the hymn; and the dying preacher on being borne into the vestry, was: found to be dead. His expectant hearers slowly and sadly dis- persed, save those who performed the melancholy place of bearing his lifeless body to the Bome which he had 60 lately left, a living man. Dr. Beaumont was, after the late Dr. Newton, the most pop- ular man in the Methodist ministry. 0 In Cubs, the practice in vogue in to interments is not to ha buried with the body, a9 same Coffin may anawer for fanerals.

A Corrace On RUNNERS—Traveters to THE West.—Last Saturday our atten- tion was attracted to rather a strange looking vehicle for this part of Wiscon- sin in 1855, where railroads are about to intersect each other. Quite a fair sized house was observed to be slowly moving through our streets, drawn by four pair of heavy, stout oxen. It was, in fact, pioneer’s dwelling, with its furniture and group of inmates on a journey to some new place of residence—in some secladed tame aon Fer 7 from any otber wan tation. ipe-chimney rose above the roof, out of Ls cesta smoke was rolling. The interior was divided into rooms. Around the fire some half a dozen young heads were crowding, for it was’ pretty cold, while 1c the wife was dischargin duties, apparently nat A in getting dinner. he sturdy and adventurous heed of this emigrant establishment was attending to the out door business, walk- mg beside his patient catile, and urging them forward as fast as possible, seeming apprehensive that the i ‘ight fail before he reached his destination. — (Watertown (Wis.)

It explains the failures of men of reflection in a reg- ular course or life of action; the great t of whom is Hamlet the Lane: » Those who have the largest horizon cf thought, the most extended vision in re- gard to the relation of things, are not remarkable for self-reliance and ready judgment. A man who sees limitedly and clearly is surer of himself, and more direct in his dealings with circumstances and with others, than a man whose many- sided capacity embraces an immense ex- tens of objects and objections; just as they say a horse with blinkers more surely his path, and is less likely to shy.— Mrs. Jamieson. Omana Crry.—Cmaha city, the present capital of the newly organized Territory of Nebraska, is described as containing from sixty to eighty houses, located on a rising ground on the banks of the Mis- The government house, oc- two-story brick, and the priucipal hotel 28 also two stories, with a wing, the reat of the houses being of all sorts and sizes. In August last, there was but one small hut in this place, but now it contains taverns, stores, shops, dwellings, and a government full: nized in all its de- partments. Ne’ 2 seems to be get- ting along faster than Kansas, although much more silently. tOr If you have great talents, indus: try will improve them; it moderate al tics, industry will supply their deficien- cies. Nothing is denied to well-directed labor; nothing is ever to be attained without it. Remember, a man’s genius is always in the beginning of life as much unknown to bi fas to others—and it is only after frequent trials, attended with sutcess, that he dares think himself ual to the undertakings in which those who have succeeded, have fixed the ad- miration of mankind. Dears or rae Ricurgovs.—I met on the seashore, said the esteemed poet Sadi, a pious man who had been attack- ed by a tiger and horribly mutilated. He was dying, and suffering dreadful ago-. nies. evertheless, his features were calm and serene, and physical pain seemed to be vanquished the of his soul. “Great God!" said ag 4 ~ thank thee that I am only “suffering from the fangs of this tiger, and not of remorse.”” SENTENCED TO THE ‘LeotsLatone.—H.
