Getting out of ii. Scrape —It is not many

an omnibus, ,which,._ having nearly its full
¢0mDl€t_tI_‘€Dlf9I Passengers, was rattling up
onepf our 8_ll_'_g_els. There was a” rather nice

-.-inl=e‘n’t‘-was ‘ he .0u.‘:!.hi8 pleasant occupation,
that he was totally unaware of the fact that
thevehicle bad suddenly stopped and the
only vacant seat in the omnibus, next to
himself, -was occupied. He presently turn-
ed‘around,and there looking steadily at him
and immediately by his side, was a man
whom he knew too well-—a creditor whom
he had put off with one pretext and another
until he-dreaded to meet him.
'“Good day, sir. I saw you passing and
stopped the omnibus. You have put me to
so much trouble to find you, that I have re-
.-solved to follow you .overy'step you take
, until lobtain a definite settlement of busi-
ness betweeen us.”
“Yes, it’s very fine weather," remarked
our young man complacently.

niy money.”
~‘“Aro you?

“Honey? Who’s talking to you about

“Yes, I admire her very much. Miss,
this gentleman is exactly to my taste,” said

lingly addressing the young lady by his
side". . _
- “ Look here, mister, you can’t fool me in
this way. I want my money; do you hear?

looked fierce.
“Lend you some money? Certainly-
withtthe greatest pleasure my dear friend,”
and the debtor began to fumble in his pockets.
-- This was to much to bear: the creditoi~’s_
hand suddenly came incontact with the debt-
or’s nose; a struggle ensued; the woman
screamed; the creditor’s hat was knocked
out ofthe window ;the driver swore; the
male passengers insisted on both parties leav-
ing the vehicle; the creditor got out to pick
up’ his hat; the younng Miss had fainted on
our young man's shon'der; he ofcoursc could
not move; the omnibus drove on, the driver
swearing worse than over; our young man
was suddenly cured of his deafness, and the

Keep the Heart Alzz:c.—-These words of
Bernard Barton are good. Often good and
wise men in other things have rendered their
old age cheerless and unlovely, from a want
ofattention tothem;
, “ The longer I live, the more expedient I
_fi_n'd it to endeavor more and more to extend
my sympathies and affections. The natural
tendency of advancing years is to narrow and
contract"thesc feelings. I do not mean that
i wish to form a new and sworn friendship
‘every day, to increase my circle of inmates;
these are very different affairs. But I find it
conduces to my mental health and happiness,
to find ‘out all I can which is amiable and
loveable in those I come in contact with, and
to makethe most of it. It may fall very short
if what Iwas once wont to dream oi; itmay
‘iiotsupply the place of what I have known,
felt, and tasted ; butit is better than nothing;
it seems to keep the feelings and affections
‘in exercise; it keeps the heart alive in its hu-
_ irianity; and till we shall be all spiritual, this
' isalike our duty and our interest.”
The Boston Transcript says that the old oak

The Washingttn correspondent of the
Philadelphia: Ledger writes: I
‘ “Mr. Clay’s countenance immediately af-
ter death looked like an antique cast. His
features seemed to be perfectly classical; nod.
the repose of all the muscles gave the life-
less body a quiet majesty, hardly reached
by a living human being. His last request
Washington, nor in Frankfort, Kentucky,
(where so many distinguished Kentuckians
sleep the long sleep of death,) but at Lex-
ington, by the side of his friends and rela-
tives.
One of the most remarkable phenomena
accompanying the sickness and gradual dis-
solution of Mr. Clay, was a species of sec-
ond sight—a living dream, dreamed with
the perfect consciousness that it was a dream,
which brought to his bedside not only the
the persons of his living friends, but also
those who had departed this life for many
years. “That a blessing it must have been
to a man of such witrui affections as Mr.
Clay, to be thus surrounded by all he loved,
or had loved —to have the grave, which was
about to encompass him, surrender the dead,
by the magic attraction of his departing
spirit?
The letter of General Scott (accepting the
Whig ndmination) breathes a constitutional
spirit, and expresses at the seine time, with
all the calmness of sincerity, a determination
to maintain and enforce the laws, which
must makeiit very acceptable to the people
every where. The intimation in the last
paragraph, to the efl‘ect that the cause of con-
stitutional liberty throughout the world is to
be best promoted by us by seeking to advance
the greatness and happiness of the Republic,
has a very comprehensive meaning, and is
in perfect keeping with the policy in refer-
ence to foreign nations so emphatically recom-
mended by the first President. The gene-
ral satisfaction with which the nomination
of Gen Soctt has been received will be en-
hanced, we are sure, by the tone and senti-
ments of this letter. The reply of Mr. Gra-
ham, accepting the nomination for the Vice
Presidency, is altogether conclusive on the
subject of the platform, and in respect to
style and manner of expression it is in the
highest degree appropriate and becoming.

Locofoco Consistcizcy.—-'I‘he late Locofoco
National Convention exhumed the old U.
S. Bank question from its sepulchre, and
adopted a liigli sounding resolution, declar-
ing, “That Congress has no power to char-
ter a National Bank—that we believe such
an institution one of deadly hostility to the
best interests of the country, dangerous to
our republican institutions and the liberty of
the peoble," &c., and then nominated upon
its ticket for the Vice Presidency, W. R.
King who, thirty-six years ago, when that
question was alive in Congress, voted in the
House of Representatives for the U. S Bank
over which Nick Biddle presided! Consis-
tency is about as natural to Locofocoism, as
ajewel in a pig’s snout.
A Dear Cr_zlf—About a year ago, a case
was brought before a justice in a village in
lowa,about a calfwhich was claimed by two
parties. The witnesses of one party, twenty
or thirty in number, swore that the tail was
entirely black: and those of the other party,
about equal in number, swore that it was
partly white. An appeal was taken from the
verdict of the jury, and tried in the District
court, when the jury disagreed. The legal
costs then amounted to $300. The case was
recently tried again, when the jury decided‘
that the tail was partly white. The costs
have now reached $500, to which are to be
added counsel fees and other costs,and all for
a calf worth tliree dollars!

pier awaiting the arrival or’ the boat from the

suspended byvchains, which was raised" or lower-
ed to suitthe title. A crowd of people had
gathered upon this bridge, and one 0fll1e’Cl‘t:IIl't8

bodies have been-r‘ecover‘ed, and a number are‘

(l(=’;=Agentleninii of Albany was. on Fri-
day, in the city of Boston on business, and
in the evening went to one of the theaters,
which he left before the conclusion of the
performance. Walking alone in the street,
without paying much attention to localities,
he suddenly was assailed from behind by
some unknown person dexterously knocking
his hat off, slipping a bag over his face and
sciz?ng his arms, and running him through
an alley and into ii room some hundred or
hundreds of feet in the rear. Here he was
put on a seat, and his person searched with
great deliberation. A roll of $160 in bills
was all that was retained by the robber, who
allowed his victim to depart on a promise to
send more money to a certain address.
Mrs. Douglass of Cicero, Onondaga Coun-
ty, a few nights since, after her family had

Spiritual Rappings was the cause of this
