Abput a quarter o f a mile from Big Stream, south, is R o c k Stream, another stream that courses through a deep ravine for miles, and leaps down the rocks, not in so full view; o f the lake, but into an amphithea tre of rocks, from which it winds, and soon mingles its waters with the lake. A glimpse o f this fall can be seen from the Steamboat. The writer visited this i gem of the lake scenery, nearly twenty years ago. From Big Stream, himself and his early friend, T. H. A ., glided in . a skiff along the lake shore, and run into the mouth of R o c k Stream. Here we moored our barque and procuring a raff, went in between two high rocks to the amphitheatre, that surrounded the fall. W e found ourselves entirely surrounded • , by lofty rocks, which had been wore a- vvay by tbe ever flowing and falling wa ters, where time, with this stream, had written the history of thousands of years. H ow short and insignificant human life appears when looking upon these ro<?ks, 1 Oh 1 aho, I understand’ ‘ The-a’— - ‘ State' o f Maine. That such a thing could be done as to stop grog-selling, squash the rum business in that or any other part o f the Christian world, was the rich est joke o f the season to Paul, and he enjo37ed it up to1 the handle ! But, no less to his mortification than surprise, one morning, afler driving a 6 hull load’ o f the floating population into the afore said town o f Bangor, and feel in#, of all :times in his eventful life, a leetle o f the darndest kind o’ thirsty, as he said, Paul was very solemnly informed by the ge nus loci of the quarters he had long pat- ronized— 1 N ar-a drop in my house, sir!’ Paul looked, then looked again at * bor niface,’ and as be looked, his broad and perfectly good humored countenance looked mighty humorous, his cunning grey eyes twinkled and his large and flexible mouth fairly ran over with hu mor. * H a ! ha !

As they were in the lake off from Big Stream, a sudden gust of wind capsized the boat. With great presence o f mind, he succeeded in placing the ladies on the boat, and se curing them in their position. He did not wait for assistance to come, but tell ing them that he would be back shortly with a boat and take them safely ashore, ing licker, ha^ ha,’ very heartily laugh ed Paul; somebody present ventured to remark\ that the law was going to be a pretty tough job to get over, any how.— ^errywinkle turned, upon t’other heel as he leaned against the bar that was, and eyed the speaker— ! 1 A tough job 1 W hy you don’t pre tend to say,’ said Paul, 1 that rumselling can be stopped?’ e Y e s, I do,’ said the speaker.

N o w , under ordinary circumstances, i f he had been where the liquor wasn’ t handy, or temporarily out Paul might have got along for a spell,but how his researches had made him dry, disappointments, nervous and mad, and he determined to have his bitters or burst. Meeting a friend in . the street, he was told that the article was certainly tabooed ’none sold at any place except the drug gists. and then and there only in cases of sickness. The friend said, people would get sick and did get sick1 and went1 to the druggists and got medicine . , * W e ll,’ says Paul, 6 dod rot me if I ain’ t sick, sick enough, and I’ll have a horn, too ; what do they ask for ; some, dodge , I suppose V ‘ Oh, yes,’ says the friend, 1 for gin’ you ask for stomach bitters ; for brandy, you ask for a dp^e o f paregoric, and so on.’ ■ * * ' # * * * 1 I’ll take a good strong, dose, of , your paregoric, if you please,’ said Paul, ad dressing the clerk o f the first ‘ ehote- carypop’ he came to, The clerk eyed Paul, then asUqd him if he wan'ed it for himself. 1 ‘ Y e s — drink right down— in dreadful pain,’ Paul’s mouth watered , and- his eyes brightened as he saw the murky red liquor gurgling from1 the mouth of the tincture bottle into the graduating glass. 1 Call that a dose V. says Paul, hold- 23.SanFrancisco,Cali, (estimated) 25,000 24.Syracuse, 25 Alleghany, 26.

Christopher Morgan.g W e copy from the Cortland County Whig the following remarks in reference to the ability with which the 'Hon Chris topher Morgan has discharged the ardu ous duties ^pertaining to the office of Secretary of State. Mr. Morgan well de serves all that the Whig says of him : The four years term of service of this gentleman as Secretary o f State will close on the 31et December. It is many years since that he was chosen by his fellhw- citizens, of the Cayuga Congressional District as thoir Representative. He was successful over candidates selected by the Democratic party, as their strongs est. In his birth-place— among his most intimate neighbors and friends, he re ceived the warmest support and the high est vote. He was an able, faithful and fearless Representative,, in a period of great interest, and was among the few who joined with John Quincy Adams in exposing the plot which ended in the annexation o f Texas, and the fearful strengthening o f the Slave Power. H e became the candidate o f the Whigs tor the office of Secretary o f State, and was elected, and when he had served one. term— his discharge o f duty was Vindi cated, by a triumphant re-dection. There is no man in public station in this State, who brings to the duty o f his position, a more unpretending, noiseless, nor clearer and more accurate judgment of the truth and right than does Mr. Morgan, H e proclaims no vast burthen o f labor, as so many public men seem fond of doing, but with easy and pointed energy, his work is done, and his is the skill to do it well, and to defend it elo- quently* V /e know his zealous heart in behelf o f the oppressed and suffering. He has for freedom not the clamor of the fanatic, but the devotion of the Repub lican, He has been the voice anti act that in his high station, has never been forgetful of the afflicted. His warmest friends are found in those Institutions where the State gathers with a policy worthy o f its empire, the Blind and the Deaf and the Dumb and the Orphan.— It is not in the records of the Whig party alone that his administration will live.— The silent memories o f these weary and sad and worn, will retain and love his name,. Und the blessing of the poor will be his. , Mr. Morgan has labored faithfully to faring the means of education within the reach o f all, He has asked^no question of sect or county. When the sharp adge o f controversy concerning some part of the public educational policy of this State shall have worn avvaj, and the judgment d f men shall have become calm, there will be gratitude in the page of history, for the energy with which the Secretary nf State advocated the principle that to educate the people, the whole pople, was the proudest duty o f the State. The elements of character which are possessed by Christopher Morgan are adapted to give him success with the electors. A kindness of heart that has the rare attribute of uniformity— quick appreciation o f the merits of a question — and a winning, pleasant, pointed elo quence, and intrinsic worth o f character — these qualities1 are his. W e know Christopher Morgan well and favorably in this county of Cortland. He has been in our crowds^—at our homes— in and 4 among our people Whatever destiny o f private or public life awaits him, he will find active and faithful friends here. The Secretaries of State have been eminent men. Their' lists has such names as Yates and Dix and Spencer, and worthy o f full associa tion in our history with these, is that of Christopher Morgan. 0£r The following are rhe wmds o f the Song, “ Hap py Blrdllnc.** written exnrerely for flliss Hayes, bv C.

Africa, There is a majority in the U. S. Sen- tae o f what are facetiously called “ D e mocrats,” and that majority has arrang ed the Standing Committees o f that body to suit its own purposes. On looking over the»list, as published in this morn ing’ s Tribune, we find that Messrs. Douglass and Shields of Illinois, are pla- sed on six of the Committees, each be ing Chairman of one, and on at least two of the most important; while Messrs. Seward and Fish o f New York, repre senting Three Millions of Freemen, are tacked on the tail end.of one Committee each—that o f Gov. Fish being (as things go) just about no Commttee at all.— This is a pretty fair specimen of the way the Committees are packed throughout. W e ddmplain of nothing, but only ask the People to remember who have ‘ tak en the responsibility,’ and hold them to it. The Whigs have no chance to any good in this Congress: let us see if the rampant democracy will do any. i .\ 1 1 *— ™ T he first time that Mr. Webster’s eyes fell Upon the Constitution of the United States, o f which he is now universally acknowledged to be the Chief Expoun der and defender, it was printed upon a eolton pocket handkerchief, acto.rding to a fashion o f the time, which he chanc ed to stumble upon in a country'store, and for which he paid, out of ‘ his own pocket, all the money he had— twenty- cents; and the evening o f the day on which hb thus obtained a copy, was wholly devoted to its close and attentive perusal, while seated before a blaz’m fire; and by the side of his father an mother. What dreamer on that night? in the wildest flights of his imagination, could have seen the result of that inci dent or marked out the future career of that New Hampsbirfr.boy ? / S ilas W right and the T ariff of 1842.— Silas Wright voted for the Tariff o f 1842, and by so doing made it a law. His objection to protective duties was based upon the idea that they enchance the price o f the protected article, and are therefore paid by the consumer. If, as believed by the advocates o f the Ameri can System, duties really adequate for protection tend to reduce the cost, the only, argument against the VVhig Protec tive Policy falls. A correspondent of ttie Tribune, who was one of the com mittee fiom New York that visited Mr. Wright while the Tariff was under dis- cusion, relates how the venerated states man was brought to give a vote in favor o f the Tariff He raised the usual ob jection that the consumer paid a direct tax to the manufacturers, but agreed, in case the committee could show that the cost o f the protected article was always reduced by competition below that o f the imported, without excepting any one that he might name, he would vote , for the bill. Time was given him to select and point out a single article in respect to which the rule did not apply, and he failed to show an exception, and redeem ed his pledge by voting for the tariff o f 1842.* Are there any wiser statesmen at this day than Mr. Wright wss in his? Syracuse Journal . M ad am e K ossuth ’ s A ppearan ce .— Madame Ko>suth is more like a Magyar than her distinguished husband. She is rather smaller in stature than he is in proportion, but of stronger frame. Sbe appears to bo about the same age. She, is a brunette, with good complex ion, and fine, dark, lustrous eyes. Good sense is the prevailing idea suggested W hat a wonderful, continent is this rounded, smooth-shored Africa, known from the earliest dawn o f time, yet so unknown ; the granary o f nations, yet sterile and fruitless as the sea; swarm ing with life, yet dazzling the eyes with its vast tract o f glittering sand ! North America, first seen but the other day, has been probed from end to end ; its gallant and restive Phillips, Tecumsehs, and Montezumas4 have been bridled and broken by the white man; but Africa Fas seen no Cortez, nor even a De Soto or La Salle ” wring favor from fate.” Some solitary Mungo Park, or faithful Lander, or persevering Burckhardt, a- lone has tried to read the secret o f the mother of civilization, the gray-haired Africa. If we seek a land of romance and mystery, what quarter o f the globe com pares with that which holds the pyra mids; the riant Theban temples, under one roof o f which clusters a modern vil lage; the solemn-fiewn mountain-cliff of a Sphynx; the ruins o f Carthage; the Nile* with its hidden sources; the Niger, with its hidden outlet; the heav en-bearing Atlas ; the dimly seen Moun tains of the Moon ? There, reader, the slave rose roman tically to be the ruler o f millions ; there, Moses? floating in a cradle, is saved by a king’s daughter, and, like the hero of some earlier character, breaks the bonds of his people, and founds a new and mighty nation. There was the h >me of Dido, of Hannibal, the scene of Scipio’s triumphs and Jugurtha’s crimes; there lived Tertullian, Athanasius, and Au gustine; the romance of the Moors dwelt there; the last breath o f Louis o f France was drawn there. Africa is the home o f the leviathan, the behomoth, the unicorn, the giraffe, the slight antelope, the earth-shaking el phant, the unconquerable lion, the all- conquering buffalo. It is the home, too, of the mysterious negro races, yet lying dormant in the germ, destined perhaps to rule this earth when our proud An glo-Saxon blood is as corrupt as that ot the descendants o f Homer and of Per icles. The past, present, and future of Afri* ca, are alike wrapped in mysteiy. Who can tell Us of the childhood o f dark- browed Egypt, square shouldered and energetic ? Carthage, the England of the old world’s rulers, has not even a romancing Livy, still less an unwearied Neibuhr, to explain her rise and entan gle the mysteries of her constitution.— Of all the vast in w ior, what do we know more than the Punic merchants, who, like us, dealt there, taking slaves, ivory, and gold ? And what can we hope to see hereaf ter in those immense, unknown lands ? God has enabled the European to drive the North American step by step to wards extinction, and has given a great continent the full development and trial o f whatever permanent power the Cau- cassian race possesses. But Africa He has preserved— fur what? For future contests ? For an important foreign civilization, to be entered through Libe ria and Cape Colonies ? France and Britain are watching each other now along those burning sands, as they once watched by the ivy rocks o f Canada and Arcadian s it to end in thesame subjection of the aboriginal owners to one or both o f these? Or does the dark race, in all its varieties, possess a capac ity for understanding and living out the deep meaning o f the world’s ruler— Christianity— as the offspring of the fol lowers of Odin never did and never can understand and act it ? I f the old Egyptian Sesostris had paused to contemplate the illiterate wanderers of Greece, to whom Cadmus was just striving to make known the letters o f Phoenicia, would not Plato and Aristotle have seemed as impossible to him as the existence in Africa of a higher Christianity than has yet been seen, seems to us 1 Would not the pres ent position of the Teutonic race, hpve appeared equally incredible to the Par thenon, the loungers in the gardens of the Academy ? Singular Circumstance. i The Memphis Enquirer relates the following, curious and interesting occur rence: “ Since the commencement of the lerm n? the Circuit of our county, it became necessary fi.r Merri weather, brother of- the gentleman some lime since murdered in our couiitv, to attend as. > ^ • j prosecutor of Peterson, the perpetrator of the horrible crime. It so happened that he rode the horse that his deceased brother w.as riding on the day of his murder by Peterson. lie,was in the company o f some fviends anti travelled the same road. The horse is a very fine spirited but dneilfc in temper, with an intelligent ^ye. When they approached near the scene of the murder, the .horse manifested evident signs of ajaim and restlessness. Observing the singular conduct of the horse, Merriwether de termined to give him the rein; and watrll movements.. -As he approached near the spot of the murder, he elevated his head and tail, and appeared to be watch ful, and frequently uttered the snort so peculiar to spirited horses When Gppie‘: hensive o f danger.

Matrimony in Masaaohusetts The marriage returns present some* very singular facts, though coining in a double form During the twenty months covered by. the report, the>e were mar riages of.all ages, ranging from 13 to 75,. Several females were.married at the age of 13. The youngest couple married was a male of 17 and a female o f 14. A male of 20 and another of 25 each mar ried a giil of 13. One male under 20 married a female over 40, a bachelor of * i 24 married a widow o f 42, another bache lor of 35 maHr-d a vridow over 60, and still anotlifer bachelor under 40 married a widow over 75 ! Instances'like these- are called “ marriage” by C0'urt6sy, we suppose. Among other odd cases, a female of 18 fnarried the sechnd time, another female of 59 the fifth time, and a male o f 30 the third time. But the hardest fact of all id, that theile was not gallantry enough among the bachelots' of Berkshire for one of them to1 marry a widow. It may interest our fair readers tn learn that,- by an analysis o f 24,000 marriages, itfs found that when a female arrives at the age of 20 years, and is un married, one quarter of the probabilities, of her ever getting married are gone ; if she passes 25 years, nearly three quarters of the probabilities are lost, and if she passes Unmarried to the age of 30, nearly nine-tenths of her chandes of becoming such a blessed thing as a wife nre forever* gone.— Sprifig/ieldllcp.

The first thirteen are left blank, and counted noth- ng. The second thirteen are called children’s sizes. The third thirteen are called men’s and women’s sizes; each marked from one to thirteen.
