AH 4he villagers were fond td'him; aud the i was not until darker hunts came a dog within ten miles of his father's house which did not wag his tail and run to meet him whenever he chanced to pass filong the road. His countenance was round and roomy, and to some extent bore resemblance to that type of face which we occasionally see in those whom Providence, lot inscrutable purposes,, has sent into the world to enjoy its op. portunities -without being responsible for their use or abuse-. His tyes were .small and blue, and his hair and com plexion of dazzling whiteness, yet he was by no means an idiot,although when lounging about, the town pump which ven then he preferred to the rum-shop . or running through the village with a long string attached to a cabbage trail ing behind him, he was frequently ta ken for one by strangers. His parents were not very fond of him, and shortly after the ch so of the war of 181- an ;au.nt of his made a suit of soldierclothos for him out of an old red flannel petti coat, which served very well for a coat, sewed strips of red down his trowscr legs, made a paper soldier-hat for him, and gave him a sword of lath. Thus ar rayed he' strutted about, thinking the people had great respect for him, indeed it was long a tradition in tic family that once when met by a gentleman who said to him, "How d'ye do, General?" he ran out of breath to his' mother, and , gaid, "How did that man know I was a (General ?" His innocence aud honesty were amazing even at that early aire, nd he began to think that he was born to be a ruler among men. The lad crew and soon his inquiring HiiDd began to seek the causes of things; ho asked himself, "When by attaching a string to a cabbage it is made to fol low nv, what is it that draws it, I or the string ? Am I sure that anything has an inside? Yes; because when I cut it, the cabbage for instance, I see the inside; but is it not an outside which I discern and will it not always be an outside which is perceptible to my senses? Alas I can never be pure that anything has an inside.' Then ho wandered down to the village pump and made kr.own to the villagers his angul-di of mind, and they said, "Horace is a queer chap, but he has intellects." Even the fencc- Tiewera. could not answer his sublime arguments. Sometime before this, Franklin had brought down lightning irotn a cloud hy means of u kite, and Horace, in thinking over this strange experiment, asked himself; 'Is not the reverse of t ills proposition true, and if kites can hiinp; down lightning from the clouds, docs it not follow that lightning will bring kites from a cloud or vice versa, that clouds will, bring dowu kites from a lightning; or, on tho, other hand, that lightning will bring dWu clouds from a kiie '(" lie made these three propositions to his father, who was forced to confess at the same time his son's iugcuuity and his owu ignorauee ; so Horace went to the fence viewers, aud proposed that iu the interests ot science, all the wire fences lor ten uiilei around be torn dowu, aud the wire given to him to try his expur ineut. The proposition was plain, aud straightforward, una honest, but as yet the farmers hud not learned to love sci ence lor its owu sake, or to have implicit laitii in young Greeley's abilities; the teuee-viecis unanimously resolved that, although Horace was honest and an un doubted genius, wire fences cost money and "must, and slull be preserved. ' Young Greeley called them a set of liars aud chicken-thieves, who didn't know enough to see that, it once should kites be brought trout the clou is by means of li iridium:, the towu would have a monopoly of the kite trade, as Geneva has of the Watch trade. The ieiicetradt. Y here are we to tret out iightning from V To this the young man hud replied: JSt-nd up the ktte iir.t ; bnn down the lightning; p:ekie, or oliH i w .f e ; i t serve it, and, when tin time c-uic, send it up !ui toe kite-; but the foii.-ii tcice- lewvif i'eiued to do . .-.o. riom lias tiine At.ou r viit; ? y Was known as " the philosopher. for the tiu.e ho was mcu n.oi aiiio, noun anj night, bui!y engaged HI rubbing i;L ivith a long, Mae!-; , ilk ii'u un, in iii'lcr thus to eteuie lot h(:i-eli a quan tity d' electricity ur his own cuds.

JSo home ho ran, his eyis Mteking out of his head with j s and -exeitenn-nf. All the villagers locked around him. and, shouting like mad, pur.-ued him to his father's door, but the old man would not let them in ; For' said he, "when my sin is trvin' a sj eriment, he don't like lookers on," but Horace insisted on letting the poor creatures come in. To their great, imazetnent, no sooner was the trout made to stand on the roost, using its pectoral fins as claws, then it began to warble iu the sweetest manner imairin able, and then greedily set about peek ing at tho bird-seed. You see, my poor fellows," said tho triumphant youth, " that all animals, whether birds ot tho air or fowls of the sea, or tapirs of the jungles, are essentially alike They are all equal, have equal capaci ties, equal longings, equal aspirations, and the same destiny. There is no essential difference between them ; One Creator made them all. How necessary is it, then, to give them equal opportu nities of enjoyment! If this fish, which you now see praising myself aud the Author of all good, had been al lowed to remain in the brook deprived of sun and air, and eating only worms and lishdiooks, would it now have been as free as the bird ' would it have enjoyed the high life '! No, my friends, no. Go to your homes ; tell this to the fence-viewers." Tho people tlunk abashed to their homes, and as they went out the trout leaped to tho upper roost gave one triumphant crow, turned over on its ba-k and breathed its last.

" Vegetable Kingdom," written by a Frenchman named Fourier, and from it he contracted the belief that .vejrcta- bles are infinitely perfectable. He pon dered this thought for weeks, and fi nally arrived at the conclusion that the great mistake hitherto made by farmers, and which had resulted in nothing but evil, was the planting of one single crop of vegetables within a certain area potatoes in a potato patch, from which corn and rye are rigidly and unjustifia bly excluded ; apple in an orchard, and separated by unjust distinctions from oats and pears ; aud so on. He discovered or rather endeavored to promulgate the great thought, that what should bo raised was neither the corn nor tho oat, nor tho plum, nor yet the clover, but the vegetables iu its wildest and truest sense. 11c M to neighbors: "Yott are fools and black guards, numbskulls of the most heinous sort and deepest' dye a scurvy, low lived, contemptable, set of timorous idi ots. Vhercvcr you plant corn j you should plant a ptwnpkin vine, a mul berry tree, a field of clover, an orchard, turnips, cabbage, rye, and all sorts of cereals. The name of such a farm is phalanstery, which, however, will j not be. perfect unless you place in the $amc spot a lot of horses, hens, asses, tur keys, salmon-trout, codfish and eels. Thus only can perfection be obtained. 0 come, my fellow-men, my sisters my brothers, come you blear-eyed, j lop eared, lantern-jawed, long haired i set id' fools and, donkeys, let us together establish a phalanstery, lie-train not the longing clover from fructifying the iirape, nor the turnip from ma ing with the daisy- Think of it once of its beauty and utility ; the pumpkin Mtall lie down with the skunk cabbage,! and the little child shall eat them." F.bq e rieneed farmers shook their heads and would not .take his advice the scurvy rascals but a few believers established 1 model latin of this sort at lliook Farm, and then Greeley left theiu to their innocent enjoyments , he had led them thither and was too honest to re main with them. lie hated to be Soughed ; at after being ridiculous , bile he was d -in the ab-urd thing he eared nothing far mirth at his ex t en-e. i Failing with vegetables, he tr'ud to a ake cats live amicably with d eH by varnishing the fitst with oil andfoiUing Hie hitt r in water.

The sale of wine in the Senate restau rant is positively prohibited. Senator Spencer went in and orderci dinner ami wine for himself and a party of friends. The keeper of the restaurant protested that he could not furnish wine, as the Vice President had given him the very strictest instructions to comply with the Senate rules. Spencer stormed and said he was a Senator, etc, and paid he would bo obeyed. The wine was fur nished and tho Yice President was no tified that a Senator had given positive orders to 1)3 supplied with wine. Mr. Colfax catue down in person, called Mr. Spencer out, and quietly informed hiui that he must respect the Senate rules or be at once reported to tho Senate us breaking theai. At first Mr, Spencer was disposed to resist, but after; very Blight reflection, he agreed to comply with the rules aud finish his dinner with out wine. Whose Snake is It? The New York Sun, which is eeldom satisfied with things, objects to tho proportions of a rattlesnake recently seen in Carter county in this State, and described as reaching from one hide of the road to the other, while its body was as big as an ordinary churn. The Sun say "it was a very badly proportioned snake," and that "it ehonld have been a good deal longer or a good deal thinner," We should like to know who is running the snakes of this State, the State! her self or the editor of the New York Sun.

Don't jump up like a trout at a fly, and smack a woman on the neck, on the ear, or on the corner of the -forehead, or on the end of her nose, knock off her waterfall, or jerk her bonnet ribbon, iu haste to get through. The gentleman should be a little the tallest. He should have a clean face, a kind eye, and a mouth lull of express ion instead of tobacco. Dou't sit down to it stand up.

YKAlts' OM Wot.Xt). Yesterday Mr John S Jennison for -ome years a reident of this city, died ;fter a painful illness. On the break ing out of he .Mexictn war, Mr. Jen. ui-on joined our army, part'eipated in several battles. At the battle of luena Yista he received a severe wound in the hip from apiece of shell, and from the effects of this wound he died. Kvcr siucc he received tho wound, 2." years ;!g( Mr. Jennison has been subject to intense suffering from rs ctteets, and has never known a moment when it did not trouble him. It has been a running -ore all these years, and at times his life has been dispaired of. Some time since his sufferings became so intense, and the wound became so troublesome that, as a last resort, a forlorn hope to save his life, and at his. request, an op eration was determine;! on. The chances were largely against the suc cessful termination of the operation, but a certain and horrible death stared the patient in the face otherwise. Last week the operation was perform ed aud portions of the decayed hip bone were taken out. Hut it was too late. The patients vitality was too much im paired by long sufTeting, and gangrene wet in immediately, Mr. Jennison dying as stated yesterday, of pyaemia. A'm 8i s City (Mo.) Bulletin, June l-(h. There is little doubt that a strong ef fort will be made by an influential por tion of tho Liberal Kepublican clement, combining with a "largo following" among the Democrat to produce a change of candidacy in tho matter of President and Vice President. The preference ol the Liberal leaders in this movement is strongly, perhaps wholly, for Adams. The New Yoik Nation deals terrible blows to Greeley and his sup porters, and says, without reservation, that as between Grant and Greeley, Grant is the best man to vote for. The attitude of the New York Post is the same. The gentlemen who follow the lead of these papers uro men whose in fluence the Liberals can hardly afford to dispense with. 'To them tho Gree ley move ia a forlorn hope, both as re gards its prospects of success and its advantage to "reform" if successful. Chicago Mail.
