- INITIATING AN OUTSIDER.
A KNOVT-NOTHINO YARN.
6Y JACK HUMPHRIES.
All creation and the balance of mankind
were earl v one morning: aroused from the
dullness usually pervading; the pious, prim,
and peaceful town of East Nutmeg, by the
cry of
'What's it all about?' 'When did they
come?' 'How many are they V 'What do
they look like V 'Did you see 'em V 'Are
they human critters?' 'What are they go
ing to do ?'
'Who?' 'What?'
The Know-Nothings !'
Know-Nothings?' says native.
K" n n . N n t h i n S. '
" "Well, I'd give a fo'pence to know, con
tinued the native, 'what in sin it's all
hbeoat,?' - - .
O, ycf& havnt seen 'em, eh?' says a Jol
ly, round visaged, bright-eyed individual,
who, with other strangers and nativesof
East Nutmeg, were gathered in a knot
about the depot, discussing the topic which
had in a single night come, saw, and took
toe town. 'Hav'nt seen 'em ?'
'Seen who' says the native.
'The Know-Noihintrs.'
'Know-Nothings ! Wall, I kinder cal'late
I have' a few.'
'O, you are one of 'em, eh.'
'Look a here, squire, ef yeou don't want
to be squattin cross-legged you heap o'
sand. I cal'late yeou'd better not say my
education has been neglected in any sich
a way.'
'Not at all, ray dear friend; I only pre
dicted that you were a that is, hang it--I
mean do you know what's cut V
'Yee3; I'll tell yeou what's out, squire.'
'Good; what is it ?'
'A writ agin Josh Pruden, for brakin'
the Sabbath all tew flinders, playing keards
in Deacon Dinkle's barn.'
'Pshaw !' said the jolly man, 'I don't
mean that sort of work. 1 suppose you are
like the rest of those Know-Nothings, too
sly, eh? to be caught?'
'Squire, do you chaw ?'
Yes,' said the jolly looking man.
'Hand us your tobacco, then.'
'Yes, I don't chaw.'
Git eout ! gettin' kinder sharp-set, too, I
cal'late. Now, look a'here, squire, I 'gin
tw expect jeour frow York.'
'I 'spect you are correct in your re
marks.' 'Wall, I knew yeou was; can tell yeou
. fellers a mile off: c' ves, can. bv kingdom
. Now, 1 cal'late there's somethin' goin' on.
that's a fact allfiredest raov ureound this
yertaown, this mornin', beout somethin,' a
feller ever hearn.'
Ah, that's what I was comin' at. Now
they say you've got up a new invention
a new-fangled thing that's bound to get
Christendom in an uproar; how is it?'
'Eh, yes; when are they goin' to begin
it, squire ?'
'O, you git eout, sly dog; ain't you one
of 'em V
'What ! them fellows that's goin' to raise
sin, and break things ?'
'I don't know; I only ask you,1 contin
ued the squire; :I only ask for information,
you see.'
'Wall, naow, look a'here, a feller never
made much by dod-rotted ignorance in this
land of universal liberty and gineral educa
tion; and a feller hates to come right daown
and confess he don't know nothing, that's
a fact; but, squire, I've got to acknowledge
the corn, a-a nd it's no use talkin,' but dam
jny buttons to apple sass, ef I wunt, as poor
a fellow as I be, gin just ten shillins nnd
upwards to knowfwhat's kinder busted
raound here.' ,
'Would you '
'Wouldn't I ? By golly, squire, I guess
you're the critter kin jost tell all about it ?'
'I'm just the man that can.'
l knew yeou be ! Grea-at- kingdom, let's
hear all about it !'
Hish-sh,' said the humorous man, 'his-s-h
I I've been sounding you.'
You don't say so?' echoed the citizens
of Nutmeg.
'Yes, sir .' We have to be cautious,' ab
stractedly responds the Nutmeger.
'Can't speak out to every body.'
'So.'
'Yes, sir; now I know you're a 'good
egg'
'Aiggs !'
'Good egg sound to the eyre !'
'Sound ?' wouldn't wonder; never aillin
but once in my hull life; then I had the
d.trndest scratchin' time yeou ever did see,
I reckon. Ever had the itch, square?'
'Never, thank you.'
'O, not af all, squire, you are quite
welcome, as Uncle Nat said, when he
shot the Ingin
. Well sir, now I'll give you in a whis
per an idea of what's up; and if you love
your country '
'Me?'
'The land of the free, and the home of
the brave. I
'Gre.a-a-t Fourth of July! pitch in the
big licks, squire.'
'Our own dear native land !'
'That's the ginger ! Go it, squire !' says
Nutmeg. J
'Well, sir, now you just follow me over
- tne-hotel; so, now take a chair. Here
we are; now I'll give ym the secret. You
see this is a grand secret society'
'Eh, yes.' . J

'Eh, yes'
' Well, then, you go towards him, nnd
shut your left eye, so ; you bile your thumb

'Biles?'
'Yes, if he bites ; if he is really one of

bites, you see ; then you advance close,

You reply, 'nibs,' don't forget, 'nibs stag

You then approach close up shut the

'He will? How many fellows in the

'Beats Millerites? I was one of them."
'Beats everything out, sir. ,Jw here's
the oath ; you swear ,.bjr fhirf emblem"
(elevating a boo jack )
'What, a hoot jack ?)
'Yes, it looks like a jack, but it ain't it's
a blind, mystery ; we swear by this. You
put your fore finger on your nose, shut one
eye, and swear never to reveal these, o-ir
secrets, si help your independence day.
Now, to-night, there will be a crowd neir
the depot, about dark ; when the crowd
moves, you follow; they will t.ike you the
secret chamber where you will learn more
particulars. Now scoot.'
'Eh, yes; and Nutmeg left.
He had just got into the street, when n
veritable siorn met his eyes. A long-legg
ed, double -fisted fellow, with but one eye
in his head, stood gaping around with
hands in his breeches ; up goes Nutmeg,
shuts his ej'e, nnd pokes his thumb be
tween his molars. The man with the
closed eye looked daggers with the other,
and by the twitching of his lips seemed to
be speaking, or doing something like it, in
wardly 'Nix a weed in cully,' said Nutmeg, ad
vancing. 'What in yeller thunder d'ye mean?
sav!' says the one-eyed man.
"'Nibs stag his nibs; cully, how'j nibs.''
continuad Nutmeg, advancing, and placing
his finger upon his long, sharp nose, and
grabbing at the stranger, who, mistrusting
the move meant no good, draws off, and
puts in such a 'soult paw," that Nutmeg
doubled up and went down all in a heap,
cobiff!
'Goll darn you, ain't you one of 'em?
Why didn't you say so?" bawls Nutmeg,
travelling into the hotel to find the Profess
or of Know Nothingness, and seitle his
hash. But Professor Peter Morris had
suddenly left for parts unknown. Nutinag
has been looking for Peter for some time.
THE LAMENT OF THE AFFLICTED.
Ye sunken gates of Zion be exalted,
and receive within the oitals thereof
your elders and your wardens, who
trumpet-tongued, shall pioclaim that the
stall' of bread is broken and the stay ol
water is wasted.
Assemble, ye scribes, and publish the
history of famine and pestilence, that it
may swiftly be borne to the remotest
communities of Israel, and become the
written messenger of the distress of the
ind wellers of Zion ; that it may thereby
awaken a nation's sympathies; and if
misery has dried up the sources of elo
quence wherewith to sustain your ap
peal, supplicate the Almighty that He
in His mercy may incline the hearts of
your brethren of the house of Jacob, to
hasten to relieve the anguish of yotn
drooping spirits.
Brethren of the house of Israel, who
sojourn in happy England or America ;
ye wardens of their synagogues and
ministers in their courts ; ye worship
pers, who rehearse the past glories of
your nationality and hope, in the full
ness of time, for the effulgence of its fu
ture, ye children of mercy and of love,
whose shield is the shield of the patri
archs, ye people peculiar to God, sons of
Judah and Benjamin, on you we call
by the ties of rel.giou and brotherhood,
to arouse yourselves and save from an
nihilation the remnant of the faithful
watchers of Zion and Jerusalem.
Suffering true souice of eloquence
be thine the pen to -trace the scenes
that haunt the streets and homesteads ol
Jerusalem, so that the torpor of our
brethren may be shaken off, and their
earnest sympathies awakened.
We lack the power to give even a faint
idea of the misery we are enduring ;
every heart has become sick, every
tongue stricken dumb, the words "What
shall we say, what shall we do?' cling
to the loof of our mouth from their oft
repetition.
Behold, we are utterly prostrated
both in mind and in lody, incompetent
to proclaim the severity of the visitation
that is consuming us.
We know not whether the contem
plation of the morrow is not moie fear
ful than the reality of to-day and the
retrospection of yesterday' ; whether to
weep for present troubles, or mourn the
past sufferings. Starvation and pesti
lence walk hand in hand, and the wail
of the poor, the widow and the orphan
is borne on the air. It is difficult to say
whose sufferings are the greater, the
miseries of those horn under the sun of
Juda, or of the holy pilgrims from dis
tant lands. All classes of society, all
grades and conditions, have become uni-
ieu m me brotherhood of woe, heads' of
synagogues and their pious servitors,
learned rabbis and their scholates mix
in the crowd to supplicate arid beg a
mouldy crust. Even that assistance
which has hitherto reached us from our
brethren in the Russia 11 an1 rI. . .-T. ; U
dominions, is now, in consequence of
thf war nut rff .. -
and the- child reu of his Jove sink into
the grave -witrTom an - effort'' to lelieve
them. v ?fi V
Brethren I If--you could, hut witness
the misery we ate enduring, the widow
running to and fro, asking ti c refuse of
food for her starving orphans ; and men
profoundly learned in (lie law, foirnerly
through their abundant charity the stay
of the community, now wanderin.' up
and down the streets of Jerusalem, seek
ing alms, ay, seeking bread, your hearts
would melt in compassion. i
Brethren ! believe that our tale is free.i,u-tiu
from exaggeration. We have nrtpre
cannot fully impress you with h fright
ful reality of our condjtioufct)ur mis
erable circumstances catrte corrobora
ted by every dwellec0, or pilgrim to,
the Holy Land.
The misery wi; endure is augmented
by the worstjfanticipation, forlhe cir
ctimstanct;s under which we now suffer
may-jtie" seized by our traducers, as be
ing most opportune for the development
of their plans, and what may not en
sue when famished multitudes are tempt
ed by the bribe of food ? For already,
dreadful to relate, the father traffics for
the sale of his child to the stranger, so
that his offspring may I e spared death
from starvation. For be it known that
the. sufferings of our nation here, in all
the frightful horrors which at- present
exist, have never been surpassed.
To you, men of Israel, dwell -rs a
mong all nations and in every clime, we
supplicate to hasten relief to famishing
multitudes. Let our ciy reach all, be
sacred to all, receive attention from all.
You, Prince of the Holy Land, great
in Israel and noble among the nations,
you Sir Moses Montehore, be the beacon
of our hopes, as in days of old. Let
your hand be again supported by the
piour Judith, and from your conjoint ex
ample may the men and women of the

Fjast and the uttermost West, and bears
the fruit of brotherhood. By the love
we bear to the God of Israel, by the as
sociations cf our common nationality,
turn towards the land of the rising sun,
towards Jerusalem and Zion, and re
member whence the law ctnanateth and
the word goeth forth.

I make it a point of morality never to

They may be awkward or jrtceful, blunt
or polite, polished or rustic, I care not wli u

acts from honest intentions, without eccen

advantages of 'good society,' as it is call

rales and ceremonies, nnd if there is any
standard of manners, it is well founded in
reason and gaud sense, and not upon these
artificial regulations. Manners, like con
versa'ion, should be extemporaneous, and
not studied. I always suspect a man that

Lore told bis dreams of yesternight,
While Reason tallied)' shoot the weather-
The morning sooth, was deaf and brlzbl,
So on they .took their ay together.
The boy in many a gambol flew ;
While Reason, like JonokUlked,
And front ber portly figure threw
' A ieng Uient d sbarlow as' they walked.
No wonder U,rs, as on they jiosscd,' f
. Should find the, sunny mornins chillj
For still the shadow 'Reason cast -
' Followed tbe hn' atill-
Jn vain he strote his wings to n arra,
Or find a pathway not so dim ;
For still th - maid's gigantic ronn
W0.1KI pass between the sun and him
" This must not be," said little Lor;
" The sun was made for more than you,""
So, turning down a myrt'e grove,. .. ".
He bade the portly nymph " Adieu."
Now, gayly roves the laughing boy
O'er many a mead, through many a Bower,
In every breeze inhaling joy,
And drinking bliss from every flower.
Front all the pardons, all the bowers," "
lie culled the many sweets they shaded ;
He eat the fruits, and snielt tlte flowers,
Till Ubte was gone, and odor faded.
How tbe sun, in pomp of noon, ?
Rose high above tbe parched plains ;
Alas ! the boy grew languid aoon.
And fever thrilled through all his veins.
The dew forsook bis baby brow.
No more with vivid bloom be smiled.
Ah l.wbere was tranquil Reason now,
To cast ber shadow o'er tbe child 1
Beneath a green and aged palm, '
His foot at length for shelter turning;
lie saw the maid recliuing calm," .
With brotv as cool as bis was burning.

" Oh take me to your bosom cold
In murmurs at her feet be. said,.
And Reason oped ber garment's fold,
And flung it round his feverish head.

He felt her bosom's icy touch, ' r .-.
And soon it lulled his pulse to rest ;
But .h ! the chill was quite too much,
And love expired on Reason's breast.
MISCELLANY.
SELECTIONS FOR A NEWSPAPER.
Most people think the selection of suita
ble matter for a newspaper ihe easiest part
of the business. How great nn error! It
is by nil menus the mosl difficult. To look
over untl over hundreds of exchange pa
pers every week, from which to select .
enough for otic, especially when the ques
tion'is not what shall, but what shall not
be selected, is no easy task. If every per
son who rends a paper could huve edited
it, we should hear less complaints. Not
unfrequently is it the case that nn editor
looks over till his exchange papers for some
thing intere-sting, and enn absolutely find
nothing. Every paper is dryer lhan h con
tribuiion box ; and yet something must be
hiul, his paper must come out with some
thing in it, and he does the best h-can. -To
an editor who has ihe least care about
what he selects, the writing that he has lo
do is the easiest part of the. labor. - Every
subscriber thinks the paper printed for his
own benefit, ami if there is nothing in it
that suits him. it must be stopped, il is good
for nothing. Just ns many subscribers as
an editor may have, so many tastes he hps
to consjlt. One wants something smart,
another something sound. One likes an
ecdotes, fun and frolic and the next door
neighbors wonders that a man of good
sense will put such, stff in a paper
Something spicy eomes oot, and the editor
is a blackguard. Next comes ' something
nrrrumetiiive, nnd the editor is a dull fool.
And so, between them all, you see the peer
fellow gets roughly handled. They never
reflect that what does not picas them may
please the next man; but ihey insist if the
paper does not suit them il is ood for no
thing. Vermont Times. "I'''

INGENIOUS ESCAPE FROM PRISON.
The escape of Squires f:.6m the New
Hampshire Slnte Piison, where he. was
sentenced to fifteen years' confinement,,
was most ingenious. The "prisoners,
march lo breakfast, and, reluming, enter
their clls, which close with a t-pring,.
while ihe turnkey follows nnd locks an.
outer door. Llach inmate holds his hand
up to the bar over the door as the officer
does this, who duly counts and reports,
the inmates to the warden. Squires
made, out ol" sole-leather, a very ingen -iously
wrought hand, not forgetting to
ear re out the finger nails and give them,,
as well as the fingers,' a very natural
and life-like appeal a nee, by the use of a
bluish white powder.' On the. morning
of his intended escape, he fixed his im--i:afiori
band to Ihe grate of his cell door,,
making its position more secure by the
