Ai'U) Lang Synk. A -respondent of the
Albany Argus gives the l'o' wing version of Auld
Lang Syne, copied from a volume of Scotch poems
entitled, "A choice collection of comic and serious
Scots l'ocniB, both ancient und modern," printed
in 17UG '11, some years before Murns was burn:
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never thought upon,
The flames of Love extingnised
j in i T
And freely past and gone:
Is thy kind heart now grown so cold
In that loving breast of thine,
That thou canst never once reflect
Or. old-la ngsy ne ''.
Is't Cupid's fears, or frosty cares,
That makes thy love decay ?
Or is't some object of more worth,
That's stol'n thy heart away?
Or some desert, makes thee neglect
Him, so much once was thine,
That thou canst never once reflect
On olddang-syne.
But now, since nothing can prevail,
And all hope is in vain,
From the se dejected eyes of mine
Still showers of tears shall rain;
Aud though by thee I am forgot,
Yet I'll continue thine,
And love thee still whate'er my lot,
For old-la ng-syne.
If e'er I have a house, my dear,
That truly is called mine,
And can afford but country cheer,
Or, aught that's good therein;
Though thou wert rebel to the King,
And beat with wind and rain,
Assure thyself of welcome, love,
For old-lang-sj ne.

ANO SHB GLORY OF THE ONE IS TOE
SENSIBLE TALK.
"How does it happen, neighbor B., that your
children have so much greater progress in their
learning, and knowledge of the world, than mine ?
They all attend to the same school, and, for aught
I khow, enjoy equal advantages."
"Do you take the newspaper, neighbor A. ?"
"No, sir, I do not take them myself; but I now
and Hcu Lorry ir one, just to read. Pray, sir, what
have 'newspapers to do with the education of
children "
"Why, sir, thev have a vast dtjal to do with
7 ft,'kI assure you. I should as soon think of keep
ing them front school, as to withhold from them
the newspapers; it is a little school itself. Being
new every week, it attracts their attention, and
they arc sure to peruse it. Thus, while they are
storing their minds with useful knowledge, they
are at the same time acquiring the art of reading,
tc. I have often been surprised, that men of un
derstanding should overlook the importance of a
newspaper in a family."
"In truth, neighbor B., I frequently think I
should like to lake them, but I canuot well afford
the cxpeiu-c."
"Can't afford expense ! What, let mc ask, is
the value of five or six dollars a year, in com
parison with the pleasure and the advantages to
be derived from a well-conducted newspaper t
As poor as I am, I would not for fifty dollars a
year, deprive myself of the happiness I enjoy in
reading and hearing my children read and talk
about what they have read in newspapers. And
then the reflection that they are growing up in
telligent and useful members of society. Oh,
don't mention the expense! pay it in1' advance
every year, and you will think no more of it."
Admission of a Nkw State. On Saturday
last the House passed the Senate bill for the admis
sion of Oregon into the Cnion, by a vote of 114
to 1U3, making the thirty-fhin member of the con
federacy. The friends of the bill, on Saturday
night, serenaded the President, Hon. John Letch
er of Va., Hon. Chas. L. Scott of California, and
others all of whom made speeches appropriate to
the occasion. (en. Joseph Lane is the present re
presentative of the Territory in the House, and
Ceorge L. Curry is its Governor, with a salary of
83000 per annum. The area of the State is 185.
030 square miles, and it's ropulation in 1857 was
estimated at 43,000, though its representative in
Congress contends that it is now 93,000.

Geffrard entered lWt au Prince in tritfiripll on the
14th of Jannar', and was roclai:ned President of
the Hepul 1 c of llayti, amid irreat rejoicings,
illuminations, and the wi' d 'St joy of the people.
Souiouqiie, upon whose p- rs n the direst revenge
was threatened, fed for pro eo! ion to the French
Consulate, and there sigre 1 his abdication. He
then took refuge om boa:d th? l'rifish war s camer
Melbourne, in which he sailed for Kingston, Jamai
ca. ( )ur latest advices from that place announce
that the Melbourne was going into that port, with
the fugitive Jfjinperor on board.
The capital capitulated to GcfiVard without a
shot being fired on eijher side, and thus the
popular cause was successfi.l without a drop of
blood being shed. The sympathy of the whole
people seemed to be with the new President,
Fabre Geffrard. The U'utal and desjxdic rule of
the negro Emperor had rendered hint hateful
to his subjects, and a merited retribution has fall
en upon him, in the shape of defeat and exile.
'lhus ends another episode in the interesting
experiment of negro government in llayti.
ITon.SE Thief Killed. A few nights since, a
farmer living near Danville, Livingston county.
111., hearing a noise in his f-table, armed himself
with a club and went there, when he found two
fellows in the act of leading forth a valuable horse.
One of the thieves drew a pistol, and was about to
fire, when the fanner struck him on the head with
his club, killing him instantly. The other rogue
then fled, when the farmer examined the body of
the slain man, and found thereon S400 in good
money, but no clue to his identity.

KNOW THE BIORT MAN.
In a Southern city lived a young aspiring youth,
, by the nam of Kitreon, who possessed more pride . I have nothing important to say, other than that
and insolence than wealth or sense. Cuderatand-i .things have arrived ut such a pass that the ail
ing that there was a farmer living about sixteen thority of the Federal Courts & more mockery of
! mrles from the city, by tho name of MoKeever, oft justice. The Mormons hate evervthitiw their rin
1 immense wealth aitd the father of two marriasrea-
he formed the design of- becoming
. acquainted with the family, if not ultimately one
; od himsett in his gayest externals and started for
the rich farmer's mansion. On the way his mind
was full of speculations upon the prosposts before
i him; upon the manner in which he must conduct
himself before Mr McKwver; upon the style of
' his amiablencss which he should assume before the
'owra raciwtyn, iinu ujiou mc mouc iu n incn nu
should use lolty and entertaining language general-
ly. Evening had nearly disposed of the sun in
the west, when he arrived in sight of McKeever's;
the scene was expansive and delightf'nl; extensive
fields and lengthy fences and lanes covered the
landscape as far as the eye could reach; while the
dwelling reared its painted front high among the
tall and branching oaks, which grew around it or
shade and ornament.
Kinson's bosom swelled with glowing anticipa
tious at the wealthy and magnificent prospect be
fore him, aud he was anxious to form the acquain
tance of the whole MeKeever family. Seeing a
shabby looking man feeding hogs near the road, he
rode up
to him, when the
following conversation
ensued
. "Hollow, Mr hog-feeder, is that McKeever's
dwelling?"
"Yes, sir," humbly replied the hog-feeder.
- ki j a kJ t v, 1 . v. 1
"No sir."
''What in, the Devil do you do then?"
"Oh feed hogs, and do other little things about
the farm."
"Well, Mr hog-feeder, old MeKeever has some
damned fine looking daughters has'nt he V
"Yer, they are tolerable good looking gals."
"They would like to marry too, would nt they?"
"Don't know, but expect they would, if they
had a good chance."
"A pond ciiance ! They can get mo don't you
think I'd be a good chance?''
"Well they might think so, go and try them."
A Vii vrui 1 1 1 c Avoivoor f '
"D nd if I don't too jfood evening Mr
hog-feeder."
Kinson then rode up to the
T Ci .1 till" ,i
gate
and
alight-
cu. seeing tne cm lauy 111 tlie
daughters, he thus addressed her :

"Good evening madam; it in getting late and I
should like to have the permission to stay all night
with you."
He was informed that he could do so, and he
very g;uly took his seat till the old gentleman
should come in, as she informed him that he would
iOHl.
He hud not been seated but a few moments,
when the old hog-feeder came along looking after
things, and finally came in and sat down. The old
man then begun to make himself perfectly at home
with the females. Kinson was astonished at what
he considered the hog-feeder's insolence; but this
as Oiiishment was much increased when he heard
one of the young ladies call him "pa!"
Just as he heard the old hog-feeder affectionate

"pa!" the boy was about to take his
liorse. and
he involuntarily said :
"lioy. don't take that horse, T think I will ride
if it is late good evening to all."
"Oh stay all night," cooly said the hog-feeder,
"don't be in a hurry."
"Thank you sir. I must go," mumbled Kinson,
and scon he was riding away from the mansion of
MeKeever, cursing all rich men with daughters,
who did not have the ways of rich men wiih mar-

Caljeouma. The San Joaquin Republican
estimates that the number of persons killed by ac
cident in the mines of California amount to four
hundred, or more than one a day during the year,
and the number of those injured at some five or six
hundred. The number of violent deaths in that
time, exclusive of those caused by mining acci
dents, has not been far from three hundrel, in ad
dition to some three hundred or more Indians who
have been killed. The destruction of human life
by accident and violence, in some mining districts
exceeds the total by all natural causes. On New
Year's day morning, the settlers of Hound Valley
killed forty Indians, for stealing stock and killing
their hogs. On Jan. 5th, Maj. E. Johnson, with
about 30 men, arrived at Eden A'allcy. On his
arrival the Indians all fled from the vallev. but
have since returned on the 7th. Maj. J. arrived
at hound alley, and found that the Indians
wanted protection, when he immediately returned
to Eden Valley for his troops, as he expected a
wholesale slaughter of Indians on the 8th.
A Jewish Genkral Assembly. Tlie Jews
of the Cnited States have it in contemplation tot
establish a General Assembly, or Loard of Hepre- I
sentatives, to take control of Jewish interest in
this conntry. The plan, as set firth by the Jew-'
ish Messenger, of New York, is as follows:
Let the congregations of this city hold a meeting
by regularly appointed delegates, and let them form
a Hoard of Representatives, to have charge of the
local matters. Let the virions congregations of
Philadelphia, Boston Baltimore, kc, choose simi
lar bodies to take charge of the general affairs of !
their several communities. Let each of these local '
boards delegate two or three of their number to re- J
present them and their constituents in a "Board of
Representatives of the Isrealitcs of the United
States, whose province it would be to k.ok after
matters of general interest, to act for the forealites
I
of the Pnion, when called upon by their brethren
of Europe to unite with them in some pnblic mea
sure, and to perform such other services as may
appear desirable.

It maybe asked why should this state of things
exist with tho presence of an army? I answer,
that the army is under instructions, a more milita

and cannot act, except under orders.
Gov. Cumnrng also feels the high responsibility
that attaches to himself, and those who know him
need no testimony, to be ass'ure'd that when an exi
gency arises, when the o'trerf act is committed, that
he will use all his prerogative, and tho army will
have what they have long wanted something to
do. . ; .,.-

Mutilated Coin. It has just been discovered
in N. York that there is a quantity of gold coin in
circulation which is not of the required weight, five
dollar pieces weighing nineteen grains less than
the coin ought to weigh. Externally the coin is
that which is coined at the Miut. But the fraud
is perpetrated in the following ingenious manner.
The coin is placed on a lathe, and made to revolve.
A keen, narrow chisel is set against the edge, and
as the coin revolves the chisel turns out the inside
of it and penetrates nearly to tho centre, leaving
but two thin shells, as it were, connected at the
centre. The cavity is then filled up with base
metal, the coin is milled over again and the edge
galvanized, show ing as perfect a specimen of work
in fraud as was ever conceived or executed. The
Philadelphia Ledger speaks of another mode of
mutilating coin, .which is coining into practice by
punching a hole in them or filing off the edges;
which practices are ot course obvious to any per
son who chooses to examine oins presented; and
recommend that the way to stop this practice is
for every shopkeeper and dealer of every kind, to
reject all coins which have bceu mutilated in the
ki.st degree. This would leave such coins iu the
hands of the persons who were guilty of the mu
tilation, and be an effectual bar to the rascality
which was meant to be practiced by the clipping.

So old Maids. They have no old maids in
Japan. When the girls don't get married tolun
, tarily, the authorities hunt up a husband, and
j make them marry, willing or not willing. Tlx
. .Japanese know a thing or two, if they have been
walled in for centuries.
Every man is allowed one legal wife, and as
many second wires as his means will allow him to
support. The second wives are selected by law frin
the poorer classes of society, whose relatives are
unable to maintain them, and the children are all
, adopted by the legal wife, who is the only acknowl
: edged mother. The rule is therefore reversed in
Japan, where, instead ot a boy not knowing hi
own father, hundreds do not know their own me
j thers.
