He is a Whig and anti-Whig, and Know Nothin’ and anti-Know Nothing—fur furrinere and agin furriners—fur everybody, but principally a long-heeded, woolly-heeded, rantin’, ravin’ niggerist-and abelitienist—for “he played on a harp of a thousand strings—sperits of just of just made perfic.”” “ Then there's the straight out Whig—a re- spectable sort of charact>r in contrast with the preceding, who represents the Fusionists. He don’t want to see the Union destroyed, but be knows he can’t help it if he runds on his own hook, and that he’d better run wid der masheen that’s bound to be ahead and wash other tubs. He played on a harp of a single string, but bis executien was imperfee. Then there's the liberal genuine old- fashioned Democrat. He don't go es round in circumseribednoss—they aint afee to speak right out in meetin’—they ain't afeered of nobody nor nothin’. They carry their Union flag afloat—the bunting all kiv- ered over with stars and etripes—giorious and victorious beeause it is the banner of tho Union. They go for personal freedom—for popular righte—for justice to all men and all paris of the country—for light instead of dark- ness—for open discussion instead of midnight cabal—for self-government and not for oli- garchy ; and they go in to win, for their in- stmument is tuned with poplar feelin’ and support them any way; they get supported some way or another. 1’ll be time enough to complam when do.”’ ‘Would it not be a relief to you to part with one of them?” Tt was so sudden; he turned sharply around: ‘\A what, sir?’’ ho cried; ‘a reliof to part from my child? Would it be a relief to have the hands chopped from my body, or the heart torn out of my breast? A relief indeed? God be good to us, what do you mane?”’ «You don’t understand me,’’ Lreplied; ‘‘ if now it was in one’s power to provide comfor- tably for one of yourchiidren, would youstand in the way of its interests ’’”’ “No, says he, the heavens knows that I would willingly cut the sunshine sway from myeelf, that they might get all the warmth of it; but do tell us what you are driving at’”’ I then told him that a lady had taken @ fancy to have one of his children, and, if he would consent to it, it would be educated and finely settled comfortably in life. This threw him into afitofgratulation. He scratched his wead, and looked the very picture of bewilderment. The etruggle botween a father’s love and a child's interest was evident and touching. At length he said: ‘© Qch, murther, would’nt it be a great thin, forthe baby? But 1 must go aud talk wit Mary—that s the mother ofthem; an’ it would not be right to be giving away her children afore her face, an’ she to know nothing at all about it.”’ READY-MADE CLOTHING ling; John Seesford, Jr.; J.T.

One of the queerest, and funniest things to think of in after life, is, “Boy love.”’ sooner does a boy acquire a tolerable statue, than he begins to imagine himself aman; and to ape manish ways. He casts sideling glan- cea at tall girls he may meet, becomes a regular attendant at church, or meeting ; sports a cane, carries his head erect and struts a little in his walk. Presently, and how very soon, he falls in love; yes, falls in the proper word; because it best indicates his happy, delirious, self-abasement fairy region, somewhere collateral to the world, and yet, somehow, blended inextricably withit. He perfumes bis hair with fragrant oils, scatters essences over his handkerchief, and desperately shaves, beard. He quotes poetry, in which ‘‘love, “dove,”’ and “heart '’ and ‘‘dart,”’ pecu liarly predominate; and as he plunges deeper into the delicious labyrinth, filled with the divine afflatus, and suddenly breaks into a scarlet rash—of rhyme feeds upon the looks of his beloved; is raised to the seventh heaven ifshe speake a pleasant word; is betrayed into the most astonishing ecstacies by a smile; and is plunged in the gloomiest regions of misanthrophy by a frown tom— lover in the world another.
