I used to sit and talk polities to It i in , and he often said I was a "line, quid, considerate, perfect model voutiL' man." And lie w,,ol,l not suiler Lelia, his daughter, to go out of nis signtwitn any ono but me "tho ui''o young man." And ho 'always wished me to be intimate with his son, Charley, thinking he would reform if ho was in my company part of his time, and I'll assure you I did not undeceive hi in as to my real character for the for Lelia's sake. Ono night I remember, (how can I forget h!) Charley, a jolly fellow named Frank T., and myself, returned from day's fishing. Thero was tho fair Lelia preparing our supper for us. Charley had slipped from the kitchen, and Frank was apparently amusing hitn'jelf by pok ing his cane in a cage at a favorito ca nary. And I felt that I was alono with tho girl I adored. Presently wo. sat down to supper. "While 1 was "wrcstliiiL'" with joint of beef, bangeamea cold potato in the door, and struck me in the pvo; then wo could hear foot-stens nn.t" n heavy laugh retreat through the entry. Wc had by this time finished nearly all there was on the table.

"1 will bring you something more to eat." While we were wailing for tho "fod der," Frank Bat thinking of 1 don't know what, and I about Lelia, tho ron- 1 sessor of my heart. Or, ut least, I thought. sho possessed it. And from hearts I got to thinking of nieo little cottages, and from cottages I got to Thinking of cradles, and from cradles to some "Hist!" said Frank, "don't you hear m i ... :..o 1 1 .;jr coining. liu WUIllS IO ejtVO IJ3 Char a I ed is anolher shower of potatoes!"

"Throw potatoes, will you?" Euid F "We'll bhow you, you rootle."

Well, fhc had cause to seream, for there against tho wall, with ribs all punched in, broken for all we knew, nnd tho wind entirely punched out of him, stood the venerable "paternal relative" of tho fill I loved; yes, there he stood; and the "model" young: man had pun ished his body for him! And Charley stood at the bead of the Mairs, will) an armful of potatoes and corn-cobs, end laughed till tho bait water appeared in his eyes. What a sight to gaze upon, tho breath less body of my fat friend ! It may be imagined how horror-stricken we were, and how soon wo made our exit thro' tho basement windows, like thieves surprised in their midnight depredations, and after leaping; over tho urea railing, we made a Btruightcoat-tail of it, until wc could no longer see tho house that contained her, the iiil I firat loved!

His maiden speech duly pre pared, and tho teilitiu' portions commit ted to memory, he found himself in a slate of thrilling iicrvoiiMicss before the people. All wi:iit on weil, and be had, in a measure, recovered his self-eotn-mand, when be arrived at the grand cli max of his speech, that portion of it in which he was to allude to " 77ie .) mrroun I'ij!t." Proudly he beg-in, and tossed off, almost flippantly, "The American Faide, gentb'tnen. a sho stand? " when suddenly the rest of his labored simile faded from his memory. Terrified at the discovery he gapped he soid. ner vously, a tumbler of water, and turned it by mistake inside his cravnt, nnd took a fresh start with a rush of desperation which bid fair to burst the bonds of his fettered im.ioination. and Roar maiost. lostro- acle! the American Jagle, gentlemen, that proud bird of our liberties, as she stands- standing as she standi blandini: " (with great vi''orV'with one foot, on the Rocky Mountains, and stretc hing her broad wings from tho Atlantic to the Pacific, .''hall .-(retching her broad wings with ono foot on the AV.v Mountains and (he other on tho Alio- ghaiiies,,su( shall howl "Hiitb incn r. -,,l ; .,..it.'ii, anu noar iuaj ically away on the wings of (ho apos phized "bird."

Debt and Revenue of Ohio. In tho history of nationn, the student of philosophy will discover that their strength, and ultimato prosperity, has depended largely upon the relation w hich tho public revenue bore to the ex penses. The economy of a nation is much like that of an individual. It is not so much the largeness of the in come as the moda and objects of its ex penditure. iS'ome men havo done more with a thousand dollars a year than oth ers have dotio with tin thousand. They have made their small means avail able to their own good, and that of oth ers. It is precisely o with States. The revenues of a .State, levied by taxa tion, are unquestionably, iu itself, a great hur.l,,,; but, if Well reiitru largo prouts. A3 tlio money which a farmer spends in manure ami fences is apparently a burden, but only apparently, for it enriches the laud aed protects the crops. Hut if the si'tnt money was spent on silk goods, tubai. . or whisky, it is a clear loss. Tho man may find an apology in his tastes or pleasures for tho expenditures, but, unquestionably, his money will never return in any shape. It is so with States. When Louis XIV. ex hausted tho revenue of France in use less war, he left it impoverished and ex hausted, without any rcturnin" profit. F.ut when the .States of New York and Ohio expended millions in creating roads and canals, by which one pot a market for its products, and the other got the proGts of trade upon them, both bad, for the time, a burden, nnd both have received back, in actual niouev, ten-fold all their expenditures. The State of Ohio has, taken in nil its departments, made a larger jirotit on the u e of its credit and the revenues of taxation, than any Slato or commu nity oti earth. Some little exhibit of I ' ' Abrogate Debt, SHh'JTU, 71!' Of this debt, S.ViO.OOO was borrowed at five per cent, interest, and the remain der at six percent. The asse.-.-ed value of tho property of the .-(ate was SI 11, 8G0,HGO. So, we see at that time, lsl 1, the State had created a debt of 819, imii.iMHi, and had incroas vaiue, .-., nuu.uuu. The assessments were at that time, however, no more than half the value of property, and the im provements had not had time to pro duce their c fleet. In 1S-17, after the Tax Law of IS 1G took effect, the value of property in Ohio was 8-105. OOd .ntui. and this was about tho truth. U: Li the influence of great and useful public improvements, the State continued to increase in population, industry and wealth; so that in 1817 it had indeed a debt of nineteen millions; but increased its value fu-ce hundred million. That this was largely duo to our public im provements is plain, from tha statement of a single fact. licfore the canal was opened through the wheat counties to Cleveland, wheat was selling in Massilon at 37$ cents per bushel, but was selling in New York at very nearly the same price as now. When the canal opened to Cleveland, it rose to one dollar per bushel, and lias rarely sold for less. Under the stimula tion of good markets, Ohio became the great grain-growing State, and in lo30 her crop of wheat reached thirfy jue mil Hunt of Litfhrs! If tho signs ' of the harvest are not deceptive, we shall raise thirty millions this year: Thcso mill ions counted as so many dollars, and two-thirds of the whole was a net profit. -Mi tlie 1st ot January, 1NC7, the debt property and revenue of Ohio, were as follows, viz: or, igu Debt, Domestic Debt, cd in apparent I tins lact may not he u n t n terest t n to our reader', and will furnish a brief view of the manner in which State crcd i it may bo made available to great and useful purposes. It, is well known that the debt of Ohio was created solely for purpose of what are called internal improvements, that is for roads, canals and public build ings. Jt is known, also, that these have been greatly beneficial to the agricul ture, industry and commerce of the State. But it is not cniite as well known what immense effects they have really produced. The work on the Ohio and Miami Ca nals was commenced in July, 1825, and at that time tho entire property of Ohio was valued at 800,000,000. Iu 1S!57, Ohio commenced a new sys tem of making branch canals, turnpikes, and aiding railroads. These accom plished much, but the debt made was much greater, and the profits much less than those of the original canals. In November, 1811. when all our nub- lic works were completed, the public! debt of the State was as follows: Foreign Debt, g il fl 5.i;2 Domestic Debt, 2 ";jl i07 8 PI, 730. 000 2,075,000 Valuo of property, otal amount of taxation for all purport, Tbe result is, that in 810,405,000 eS20,000,000 83,009,000 ten vcara we have reduced the debt of Ohio two ami half millions; increased tho value of ropcrty four hundred milions, nod puv aggregate taxation of one per cent. it must do reiiiemriered of our taxi ion, however, that of the eight millions ivi millions are paid to our own neoide most of it for work, material and pro ducts. 1 1 is not therefore, as in war money paid in absoluto losses. Lut it is only transferred from tho Lands of one portion of tho people to another, in ex- aange lor a ditlerent class of services, or example, nearly ttventu thousand Teoehrrs, it por'iou of them wih fxmi ! lies, are supported from the School Tax. Of tho eight millions of taxes, only eight hundred thousand, or onr tenth part of the whole, is raised for the support of tho State Ccvcrnment, which includes all ourroat public in stitutions. Looking nt the subject fairly, it may be B.aid that the State (Joveinment of Ohio is very economically admini-torcd. There are no cxtravatant salaries or profuse expenditures of anv kind. In deed, on; Judges, Governor, nnd L'xec- utivo officers generally, oncht. in this day of high prices, to receive mure than thev do. the rublic Debt of Ohio is held by a great number of persons, and it may be a matter of interest to know in what J.

Vh The New York Journal of lh .il:h I speaking of this matter s:i v: j "It appears that .Mr. Hall believes j that the tables do move; that su.-h mo i tion is not the result of spiritual co-operation, but of an cinanalion, like p.,s- si ly, to that which took place h. n the Savior .ljrn: ic d that virtue had'oxc out of hi), i."

If Mr. Hall can explain satisfactorily , the seat of that power, and can go a step further, and counteract it, it is cer tainly one of the most important addi tions yet made in reference to so-called "Spiritualism." The sentiment of many is, " It mu U the tpirits." They icar 10 annul. 1 ney w ill not deny. "They see spiritualists bringing for ward bushels of reported facts, and they hear wise men denouncing both the facts and the reporters of them, and between their doubts of the facts and the emptiness of tho denunciations. iney remain in a state ot indehniteness, indecision and uncertainty of opinion ' most annoying. If Mr. Hall can show j us where the power lies, can put the j wand in our hands, and enable us to ex- j ercise it or counteract it. that is, rive us the perfect control of it, then he has gained an enviable immortality, has ac complished a work well worthy of a life-time of labor."
