Eastside Main St., above the VV'ilkes-Barrc, Penn. .-41 v. L. B. PERRIN, Proprietor. Why do we fly death ? It is inevitable and we should not fly it as an evil, when we are able to and ought to seek only what is good—the supreme joys of heaven, that are born on earth—the vestibule of heaven. It is absolute folly and vanity, mischievous, nameless vanity for man to talk of undying fame. Wisdom lies buried in the mortal grave where we all must meet somg time. Whig and Tory, Protestant and Catholic, Jew and Gentile, Baptist, Presbyterian, saints and atheist. Noble lords, who were opposed to each other on earth—the bane and antidote of politics ; the defenders and betrayers of ireedom. Inglorious kings of earth, dethroned, beheaded, or compelled to abdicate their rights, or firmly holding Lhcm till Death, the mighty demagogue, trips up all prerogative ; all theso meet at last. Earth is the birthplace and cradle of glory, but its grave as well. Surely man is a fool to seek for fame on earth ! For fame, the invisible monster with a hundred tongues, the child of fantasy, the dream of to-morrow—that never is, but always is to be. To whom has fame ever brought perfect happiness or entire satisfaction ? Did the Roman, who once leaped down a gulf for the acquisition of fame, gain that fame ? Yes, he found it in an untimely grave. Self-murdered Cato—did he seek fame? Fame, indeed, was what he sought; but it laid him in his tomb. Why did he, Rome's own imperial son, clad with the royal purple, recklessly drink the poisoned contents Of a golden bowl ? Satiated with palmy days, he sought fame in the grave, where he found the wisdom he so much needed. When the great minister, Castlereagh, was dead, the world only said: " Alas, for the minister! He was a very useful man." They did not ask why the act was committed. He wished for fame, undying, attached to his memory, an immortal name. He found all but the fame he sought—in the grave. And so it was with Tiberius, Napoleon, and all the other great, restless spirits, who aimed to be still greater than all their illustrious predecessors. But these great minds, in trying to become greater and more than man, sometimes were less, but never more. Then talk not of fame, ye sage philosophers, ye men of wit, ye sophists of shrewdness! Fame is mere wind, empty air, and comes and goes with every idle breeze. Whence cometh it, and whither doth it go ? Tell me, ye proud, ambitious votaries of fame, ye slaves, did your taskmistress, your idol, brush the tear from Caesar's eyes, when his heart was torn and wounded by tlje perfidy of his dearest friend ? Did it waft cooling breezes across the waters to rocky St. Helena and fan Napoleon's feverish cheek ? Carthage was a famous eity. It fell—though only once; but what a great ifaii it was. That fall established, was its fame. The ruins of the ancient Palmyra breathe the same lesson. And yet another one we find in Lord Byron. What was his birth to the world ? But his death was something. His birth was not his death. A Byron bora was not a Byron dead. Perhaps the world mourned over his death—wept tears. Alas ! such tears do but serve to lay the dust of fame, the dust which clouds the air a moment, and is gone, to return to its parent, kindred earth—dust to dust! As the song bird hankers for the light of day, the cautious mouse for the fresh bacon in the trap—as a lean purp hankers for milk, so I long (or thee. Good Stabling attached.

CASH CAPITAL, §1,000,000 Some years since the daughter of Prince Ilenry of Rcuss-Greiz, a small German principality in the middle of Germany, became deeply attached to a young subaltern who commanded the annual contingent furnished the army of the King of Prussia. Of course all thought of marrying him with the consent of the Prince was out of the question j but it was arranged that the young lieutenant should resign his position in the army, and together they would escape to the United States. Embarking at Antwerp they came to New York, and were married there. But being young and without experience in the ways of the world, their little means were soon exhausted, and they found themselves in a strange land, friendless and in poverty. They were afraid to communicate with any of their countrymen, lest the circumstances of their flight should become known and themselves arrested. Twain's Last.—Mark writes from Ehnira, New York: "The Wilson trial came to an end yesterday. In some respects this was the most remarkable case that has ever had a place upon the criminal records of the country. It excited great interest in this part the state, and during the last ten days the courtroom has been pretty generally crowded with eager listeners. The facts of the Wilson caso were simply these : On the 17th of February last, George L. Roderick provoked a quarrel with Dr. R. Wilson, in front of the Union Hotel in this place. Wilson pu( up with a good deal oi abuse before he even showed temper. He tried to pacify Roderick, but to no purpose. Roderick called him a thiet, a liar, a swindler ; yet Wilson bore it all calmly. Roderick grew more excited, and heaped one opprobrious epithet after another upon Wilscn, and finally called him a member of thC; New York Legislature. At this Wilson sprang to his feet, and remarking to Roderick that he would not take that from any man, shot him dead with an axe-handle. Such was tho evidenco elicited-upon the trial. The court acquitted Wilson upon the ground that the provocation was sufficient. J has.
