A few daje since a certain Minister of O certain Episcopal 'church, in a certain ; , Tillage, not tar from! Buffalo, started in his bugy to fulfil an appointment in a town torn twenty miles distant Ha had drireo -. , buFaTfew miles when ha discorersd that .- . tmaisprie was quits j lama, and as the ere- ning" began to draw nigh, ha deemed it leLio stoD for the bur hL In a short time mf he yme to a (arm bouse, in front of which a e jeoman, considerably advanced in years was standing, whsnt the following copVer-,-saiion look place: " f -C Minister--"Cah you tell me. my friend,- -v. tx fm9 ft ta In riHlai fttf nltl.iiimatt 1 - uv j ivv p... .... - II p TfomitijiJ' Well, if you mean a tavern. Mister, about twenty miles; but if you mean a houaa of entertainment, we have one our . serves." " .Minister MAh, very good, my horse is quite lame, as you see, and I am some what fatigued myself Can you accom modate us for the night?" Yeoman "Waal, yes, we can accom modate you, but if you are a clergyman, I must tell you that the fare you wilt get de pends on your religion." ' ' Minister -How so, good air?" Yeoman hy, you see, if minister is good Presbyterian, we give him the best . ws have got; if he is a Baptist or a Metho V dist ha gets pretty; good living; but if he is s an Episcopalian he can't expect much. We don't think much of Episcopalians oat this way. ' - -Minister (smiling) "Well, friend, 1 am sorry to know; that your prejudices are so deeply imbedded; I am an Episcopal clergyman, and I j suppose I must content myself with a picked up meal ; but let me assure you of one thing; sty horse is the bluest Presbyterian you, ever sate." The yeoman was not so obtuse that he did not discover and appreciate the Minis ter's joke a jokej which, by toe way, pro cured both for man and beast the best that the farmer's larder and barn afforded. Yankee Notions. COL. BENTON ON DISSIPATION A few evenings ago CoL Benton deliv ered a lecture in Boston, before the Appren tices Library Association. A letter to the New York Tribune says: - He' opened it by giving, in a kindly, characteristic style, some very good advice to young men in general and apprentices in particular. They saw before them, he remarked, a person who had attained an age past the limit which the Psalmist as signs to the line of life, and now upon those years which the same Psalmist associates with sorrows and weakness. Thus far he was exempt from those infirmities. How came it that at this advanced see he was blessed with the absence of those infirmi ties which are supposed to belong to it? He owed it to the course of his early life. Franklin (whom, he warmly eulogized) .was once nicknamed the American Aquat ic, because be drank nothing but water- In that respect: be had imitated Franklin Jle totally abstained for the first half ot his life and was temperate the other half. He had not only totally abstained from spiritu ous ueuors, vinous liquors, fermented It -quors, and everything of the kind, but he had kept himself free from ererv kind of dissipation. fApplause.1 He knew no game whatever and to thu moment could not tell, when looking at a party playing cards, which was the loser and which the. . winner. He had often set up all night watching the sick, on military duty, and a -book -a book hud often kept him awake; out be had never spent one night of dissi Ration. - ; ; " . "I ' v A GOOD STORY. We are kindly permitted to copy the fol lowing good anecdote from a private letter -just received by a gentleman of this city, from a brother j now, in Nebraska. The - Yankee re fared (o is the richt kind of a man .to deal with the "border ruffians" in Kan sas. Ws do not remember to have seen this story in print Here it is : , ' You know the test to which the Mtssour- ians subject all travellers who make their appearance at any of their ferries, and ask .to be crossed into Kansas. Some days "since a slab-sided Yankee arrived at one of the Northern Missouri landings, with along tram of plunder of various sorts. By way " of testing 'him,f the" ferryman asked him iwhnt stock be bad. Waaleays the Yankee, I've got two ' horses, a yoke of oxen, and two keow$ That's enough,' replied the ferryman you "Osm't cross here. Why -not 'inquired the Yankee. The ferryman told btm his instructions were not to cross an v body who couldn't pronounce the word s0. , But I said keou2 persisted the Yankee Well, you can't cross hsre, rather gruffly replied the Charon. ,--,..;." But I have got tickets entitling me to otosi, urged trie Yankee. The ferryman replied .that he did not know of anybodjr who had a right to sell - bun tickets. j; . v - But I've got them, any way.' - The ferryman demanded a sight of the tickets, whereupon Mr. Yankee stepped back a little and hauled out a revolver in oaeh hand, crying them's the tickets, and i am bound to cross the ferry, keovo or no iitott !leranp Journal. ; - J0VEX5MINT ORDERS AGAINST A NICARA G OV AN EXPEDITION. . t NEw-YoBX, iPee. ,2l, P.

Orders faave been received here directing the gov ernment officials to keep a sharp aye on the steamer Tennessee, advertised to sail benca for Nicaragua on Wednesday next, and sea that no violation of the neutrality laws is attsmptsd. .

The total danages are laid at two millions or dollars. r v . - ..r- MUCH LIKE A PHABtSEE. An exchange paper says : Rev. Henry Ward Beechejrtpn Sunday evening, remarked to his hearers in church that he could say what probably few men could viz., that he is not able' (designate one card from another by its nanie; that he had never - witnessed a play, -or yet an opera, and that he bad. never been to a cir cus; that he was unable to nam 8 different liquors by their color or teste? and that in. to certain im proper pUces ha had neveren01 l"e are in a mosi . , - V (condition. One man died last night from tered And "he thanked OoJ b'vas notas other men are.", This is perhapawhat the wttty author of Hudibraa. eh&Vacterized ! "Compound for sins they are lneTini to By damnise tbos tbej bare no m!ad to." ' Mr. Beecher informs the public of what be has not been guilty of, but says nothing about what he has done. There are com mands, "Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor," "Thou shah not steal" (thy neighbor's Jman servant" or his umaid servant" included,) "Thou shall not kill," watch in a Christain minister might be supposed to include buying rifles to kill with, and stimulating other people to use them for that purpose. To say noth ing of the negative commands of the New Testament, to imitate One who knew not guile, and taught peace, charity, and good for evil. A USEFUL ITEM. Now (hat winter is with us, and the usuauy dangerous attendant oi ice on the steps, we clip the following impor tant piece of information to housekeepers from one of our exclianees, hoping it will be remembered. If profited by, it will save many a peeled shin and bro ken nose, and fewer stars will be seen in daylight: We wren our readers to know that this ice at the threshold, so disastrous to limbs and so Tin pleasant in every way, can be removed effectually without the chopping process usually tesorted to, bv which the doorsteps and the bricks on the sidewalks are disfig ured and injured, and more than that the formation of ice can be prevented wherever desirable. If ice is formed sprinkle salt upon it, and it will soon begin to melt, wheu it can be removed a a . . ny merely sweeping u away witn a broom. If a frost commences sprinkle salt wherever it is desirable that mo ice shall be formed. The Philosophy of this process is, that salt and water will not congeal unless the thermometer be helow zero, consequently when salt is sprinkled, either no freezing takes place, or only such congelation as is liquified soon after suuri$e, for it is seldom, the thermometer continues alt day below zero in this latitude. Petersburg Int. TBRRIBLF DEATH Of A CfTILD The Richmond Dispatch of fate date, publishes the following account of an in teresting little girl's death by burning: On the 5lh of this month, a little girl named Rosa Ann, in the 10th year of her age, daughter of Mr. Thomas Howard, of row hat an county, met with an accident which cost her her life. In company with a number of black children, Rosa was standing near a large boiler in the yard. when suddenly her etc toes took hre, and instantly she was enveloped in dames. A- larmed at her perilous condition, the little creature rushed into a quarter near at hand, but finding no one there to aid her, started lor another quarter about twentjr yard dis tant, the flames then encircling over her head. Jost at this instant, hr father (who, butamoirent before bad reached home and was enquiring as to the feelinzs of his sick wife,) heard shrieks and the word fire," and looking out tle window beheld his child wrapped in flumes anif running for aid. He intmenate4y hastened to the rescue, and seizing her in his arms, plung ed her in a pool of dirty water, and rolled her in it, thus entinguisbed the fire : but when he took her out, her clothes had been burned from her person, and the parched skin was peeling from her body and irmbs. Foor lulls creature, her suf- lenngs were extremely agonizing, till a physician arrived, and she was placed un der the influence of anodynes, whan she became more tranquil for a time, but the inhalation of the flames had done its work, and on the evening of the 6tb, death came to her relief. Mr. Howard had one of his hands dreadfully burned, but his suf tcrings from that bear no comparison to the agonies of the mind produced by wit nessing the countenance of bis child, and hearing tha shrieks and groans whilst wrapped In flames. ' To use his own lan guage, -"tha picture of his child, as she ap peared in that dreadful moment, - is indeli bly impressed upon his mind and heart never to be erased." - f i a -i. - a vnoinr case simitar 10 me aoove, is published in the same paper, as follows': On Saturday morning last, Dr. J. - W. T" m w-rn - 1 - - noysier, ot tiermco county, iosi nis nine daughter,. Virginia D., aged three years, in a most heart rending manner. At an early hour in the morning the child repair ed to the kitchen to play, and being very sprightly, was amusing herself about the fire, when the cook woman .left for the spring. - in a short Unas thereafter, screams were beard, and on going to tha kitchen. it was found that little Virginia's cloth were in a blaze of fire, Mr. John EL Jones, who was engaged at lr ; U.' in building, hastened to tha relief of tha child." and as speedily as possible, with tha aid of Or. R oyster, tore her burning clothes from her, but not until she was badly - burned. Dr. Garnett was then sent for, and did all that medical skill could do to relieve her suffer ings, but her injuries were so great inat they eaused hex death that night RESCUE OF PASSENGERS. New Vort, Dec. 25. The passengers of the New York, 300 in number, have all been saved, and landed at Barnegat. The ship lies with her head on the beach, full of water, and the sea breaking over her. -No further particulars concerning the oth er wreck. The vessel ashore at South Barnegat, is the bark Tasso, of St. Johns, Newfound land, with a cargo of coffee and logwood. She is a total loss. Four ot the crew and two of the shoremen who went to her as sistance, were drowned. ' The passengers landed from the wreck hunger and exposure, beven cabin pas sengers who arrived at Squam Beach last night, report that after - the Captain set them ashore he returned to the ship and found the cabin in possession of the crew, who fell up -n and beat him so badly, that his recovery is considered doubtful.

There is an evil habit sometimes indulged in by boys, in solitude, often growing up with them to manhood and which, if not reformed in due time, not only begets serious obstacles to matrimoni al happiness, bt gives rise to a series of pro tracted, insidious, and devastating anocirons. Few of those who give way to ibis pernicious practice are aware of the consequences, on til they find the nervons svatein shattered, feel strange and nnaf countable sensations, and vague fears in the mind. (See pages. 27, VS, 29, of Uf. K. s boo It on "Self Preservation.") Thu unfortunate thus affected becomes feeble, is unable to labor with accustomed vigor, or to ap. ply his mind to study : his step is tardy and weak; ha is dull, Irresolute, and enenges even in his sports with less energy than usual.

In issuing a Prospectus to ssk subscriptions to the CoMMtBcr!., the subscriber feels it a duty to define his position, so as to leave do doubt upon tbe minds of bis patrons as to the principles his paper will sustain. In the mntations of past rcsrs the Editor has hail.orM! paramount principle before hiiD.r-UUTil-ERN RIGHTS, under the Constitution, have been the aim and object of all his efforts. Several years ago. we inserted in our Prospectns the fol lowing words-: The Commercial -a model of political independence; nevertheless. Southbun Rir.HT" will always supersede the claims of every party every name. From this avowal it was not difficult to j'ldge what would lie oar coarse when the hour arrived that should place those rights within a tangible issue. The Message of onr great snd good President Pierce, in which he asserted tbe rights or the South under the Constitntkra, contained the pre cise doctrine that Ike Commercial had advocated for manr years, and the Cincinnati Convention having sustained that doctrine, we found in the GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY, those with whom we could conscientiously act tinder the influence of our judgment snd the Im pulse of our heart. The principles avowed in the Cincinnati Platform, will be sustained now and so long as we remain in public life. We believe Buchanan snd B sect: ems idor will ba the honest and faithful exponents of the prin ciples to which we adhere, and oa which tbe safety and happiness of the South depend. Pure in private character, honest 1a public life and of unimpeachable patriotism, tueir election cad alone preserve this Union from ruin snd disas ter. ' ' Those who hare heretofore read onr paper. know that wa have long desired to meat the pres ent hour, when the South will demand her rights without stint or compromise, snd seo how many of the National Democrats of the Free States will sustain her just pretensions.
