Woodworth’s Youth’s Cabinet.
A Kw ballad for Yankee doodle—by bro.
THER JONATHAN. '
To every body, far .and near,
In mi this Yankee nation,
Who’ll hear my song, I’d like to.give
This piece of information:
Ckcnu.— Thc Cabinet is just the thing
Fonnerry bays and girle, sir;
There’s nothing like it in the iand,
That’s making such a noise, sir.
Woodworth's Youth's Cabinet (the name
Scare.' fits tny jingling measure)
Is the yo-ung people’s m gazine,
That yields unceasing pleasure.
Among its rivals, "tis tha best;
It beats the whole to pieces ;
*Ti8 made by “Uncle Frank,” for all
Ills nephews and his nieces.
It treats of strange and curious things,
In nature and in art, sir;
There’s nothing wondrousin’the world
That here plays not its part, sir.
It tells its readers, now and then,
Of famous men and women;
Of beasts and birds; of fishes, too,
And of the sea they swim in;
Of travels, voyages, and deeds
Of peril, and of glory;
It chats in prose and poetry,
Infableaud in storv.

It hunts for curiosities
In near and distant places,
And pictures, racy, rich and rare,

Its riddles, puzzles and charades,
Too numerous are to mention-;
The time would fail me to rehearse
The things that claim attention.
Whoever reads its pages o’er,
(Tiiere’s no mistake about it.)
Is sure to find, ere he’s aware,
He cannot do without it.

Dublin, March 13, 1855.
My Dear Brother Pendleton :—I rep
resented the Bible cause last Sabbath, at
Boiling Springs, in thfe county, and obtain
ed eight life members to the County 'Socie
ty, at $30 each, making $140, and $35 in
smaller donations, making in all, the hand
some snin of $175. Considering the hard
ness ot the times, does not this example
merit high commendation ? It vfould have
cheered your spirit to witness the prompt
ness and cordiality with which this hand
some response was made. I have never
obtained so large a number of life members
from any congregation in Georgia. Many
congregations have done well, but old
Laurens takes the Palm. The hospitality
of the people is not less generous than
their liberality. May they be abundantly
prospered in all guod undertakings, and
may their example prove a most provoking
one !
Very truly, yours &c.,

The existence of secret societies is an
evil which is to be deprecated rather in
reference to the causes which necessitate
their origin than the consequences to which
they lead. It is an unfavorable omen—
an indication of an unsound condition of
the body politic—when the advocates of re
form feel constrained to consult their securi
ty by a temporary concealment of their plans
and modes of operation. Yet exigencies may
occur in the history of a people which will
permit, nay even require on the part of those
who seek to introduce salutary changes,
the avoidance of publicity until such time
as they shall have matured their plans, dis
ciplined their fortes, and gathered their re
sources for efficient action.
The possessors of power are usually in
tolerant, suspicious, and tyrannical. They
watch eagerly for the first symptoms of op
position, aud crush it with an iron baud.
Power gives them strength, and multiplies
the number of their adherents j for such is
human nature that, in a contest betweeu
might aud right, multitudes will side with
the stronger party, without regard to the
principle at stake. When the dogs declare
war against the sheep, it is easy to conjec
ture on which side the fox will be found.
Hence it is that in all ages those who,
while conscious of weakness, have aimed
at the overthrow of powerful abuses, have
been compelled to begin their work iu si
lence. Notoriety would only have invited
destruction. It is probable "that the great
reformer——the lather of modern civilization
—would have perished by the hand of the
assassin had not the
of his friends secreted him the castle of
U artbuvg. There he was safe ; and in
that “region of the clouds he could secret
ly forge the thunderbolts which he launch-
rolled round the --room, this being the
speediest way of unwinding the sail. He
sees the members standing around him, all
in masks. The five principles are. then
read to.him, and after he has sworn to ob
serve them, he is compelled to run a splin
ter—previously taken from a liberty pole—
into the index figure of hia left hand, and
with the splinter and hisown blood he signs
the Constitution and By Laws of the Or
der. Physicians on admition into the Order,
are compelled to take an additional oath,
to the effect that they will mistake strych
nine for calomel in administering medi
cine to Dutch and Irish Catholics. Law
yers have to swear that they abandon the
habit of lying and deception in dealing
with native born American clients.-—
Many lawyers have left the Order.
A Good Witness.—Ex-Governer
Smith of Virginia, lately said in a public
meeting in that State, that he was not a
Know Nothing and had never sought ad
mission into the order, but he repeated
what, he had said before—“ there is a vast
deal of good Democracy in the Know
Nothing creed !” The Governor ought to
be a judge, as he has always been a Demo
crat and nothing else 1 He might, we
guess, have added, that there are a vast
many good Democrats in the order who
cannot be blurnied out of it!—Ex. Paper.
Important to Postmasters and the
Public.—We are requested to call spe
cial attention to the Taw just passed by
Congress, modifying the rates of postage,
&c., particularly to those provisions re
quiring that all letters between places in
the United States shall be prepaid from
and after the 1st of April, 1855, by stamps
or otherwise, and that from and after the
1st of January next Post Masters must pkc
postage stamps upon all pre-paid letters up
on which such stamps may not have been
placed by the writers, or which may not
be enclosed in stamped envelops.
From and after the 1st of April 1855,
the postage in the Uuited States not exceed
ing 3000 miles is three cents and over
3000 miles ten cents.
1 he law does not change the existing
rates or regulations iu regard to letters to
or from Canada or other foreign countries
nor docs it affect the franking privilege
The provisions in regard to the reelstra
tion of valuable letters will be carried in
to effect and special instructions issued to
postmasters on the subject as soon as the

so rapidly gaining ground. The present
system of electioneerings is to be condemn
ed, and one more in accordance with Amer
ican principles is to take its place. In
matters of religion all individual opinions
are to be respected, all cbarches are to
stand upon a levelj and the Bible is to be
used in the common schools; sectional
questions are to be avoided, and attempts
to alineate divisions of the Union from
each other, are to be resisted. The Coun
cil thinks that a liberal policy should be
maintained by Congress in measures de
signed to develop the resources of the coun
try, and in the improvement of harbors
and rivers. The spoils systems to be aban
doned—it is condemed as odious, and un-
American. Other minor matters are set
forth in the document, which is carefully
worded throughout, and which allows of
oonsiderable latitude of meaning.
An Irish Gentleman, having a party to
meet at a tavern, exclaimed, on arriving
and finding the room empty: “Sol am
first, after all.” The waiter informed him
that he was mistaken—that his friends
had been there and were gone. “ Very
well,” replied the Hibernian, ’“ then I
have made no mistake, for, as they were
all here before me’surely I was the first
after all.”

be sworn by some person, whom the dark

A ter taking this oath, a light suddenly

their hands a bolt of sail duck, made out
of twelve hundred yards of American silk,
which they roll around the candidate,
completely encasing him, after the manner

It is stated that almost evey ship which
leaves New York for England takes out
from 30 to 50 passengers, principally Irish
and it is very certain that emigration to
this country from Ireland has considerably
decreased. Whether Know Nothingisni
has had anything to do with the 'change
we cannot say—it seems,‘however to be the
general impression that it is caused mainly
by the operation of the “Encumbered
Estate bill by which the. condition of Irish
lauds is improved and to the increased de
mand for labor. If tho law now before
Parliament with reference to passenger
ships, be sanctioned, it is presumed that
emigration to this country will be still
further checked.
