BROTHER JONATHAN AND CAROLINA
It could scarcely be expected, in the pie*ent
time of political troubles and perplexities on every
side, that the spirit of good tumour or poetry
could exist in any one. But ** Brother Jonathan,’
in the columns of the New York Journal of Com
merce, throws a little spice into the Cauldron and
thus advertises his “ runaway sister, Carolina.”
Advertisement.
Wandered away, at will to play,
Like Jacob’s daughter Dinah,
Forth from her loving father’s house,
My petted Carolina.
Wilful and wild, even when a child,
She mocked at legislation,
And now my sheltering roof hath left,
Without just provocation.
A decent cotton dress she wore,
That once was rich snd gay,
But in the madness of her moods
She tore the stripes away.
She feels dislike to manual toil,
She has a lofty nature,
And though in haste she stole away,
She took her negro waiter.
By features fair and high-bred air
You’d know her if you met her, —
Palmetto sprigs on breast and brow,
I’m sure you’d ne’er forget her.
I’ll pay no debt, tbo’ she should fret,
Or make defiant faces;
I’ll pay no debts that she contracts,
Till she her steps retraces.
BROTHER JONATHAN.
MOTH feR GOOSE,
After reading the speeches of Lincoln and Seward,
gives very sage advice to her belligerent friends,
and progeny of Gabblers, with regard to fighting
the South.
Mother Goose says that she has read the speech
es of the Premier and the Premierer, and wishes
to say a word, herself, before the new Administra
tion comes into its place. Skoi.asticos.
P. S. On full recollection, I forget whether she
said “ its place,” or “’her place.” S.
Tlte Preiuiereat Speech of Hie Season.
To pick up the duty
Is surely a duty :
To keep every fort, too,
Is just what tve ought to:
A sort of blockade
Is easily made :
If other means fail
We cau then stop the mail.
This appears a peaceful way,
Not 1 lie joining in a fray :
Justice shall be done to all, —
Justice on the South shall fall;
Only justice nothing more ;
llow can this be making war ?
States are counties just about:
Counties can’t be counted out,
Let the States which break the tothor,
With whip cords be bound together.
Jeff, and Jack, aud Washington,
Were Republicans each one ;
And would do as will be done
By honest Abe, their patriot son.
Response of Mother Goose.
Go; fight the South easy, whilst Yankee doodle doo;
And do all the other things that other doodles do. ,
Call him a chickin ; and tell him to “ shu3,”
Or you'll do all the other things that doodle ought j
to do.
Go; fight the South easy, its easily done
A w ise sort of jolly, a tragical fun ;
Go steady by jerks, and w alk w hile ye ruu ;
And when you go shooting, beware of a gun.
Go ; fight the easy. A rail splitter’s tricking,
A sure w av to “save the dear I’uion.”
frtft'btif your tongue to give him a licking.
To tih. tk. (South easy Is easy enough ;
But, the blow he returns, may be heavy and rough.
Perhaps your are tender; perhaps he is rough ;
You may charge a redoubt, and take a rebuff.
Make peace or war ; one or the other,
Be open foe, or loving brother; •
A fool can get in, as well as another ;
But it takes a wise man to get out of a bother.
inrr Farmers Wautcil.
We wish there were some means of in
ducing more of our young men to become
farmers. We wish a greater love of hus
bandry—of its healthful, virtuous and happy
making influences, could be infused into
the minds of the youth of ourcountry. The
project of getting a little higher wages than
can be earned in the country attracts crowds ,
of young men to the towns and cities, to
undergo, in nine cases nut, of ten, disap
pointments, privations and hardships, re
quiring an amount of endurance far greater
than would be necessary to buy a home in
the country, where independence and com
fort would be secured after a f<-w ywr* of
industrious and economical effort. This
seeking after a false life —a life of vanity
and excitement—is a great, vice among our
young men. And parent* in the country
are too often to blame for the perverted
tastes and foolish aspirations of their sons.
Farm or country life is not made attractive
to their children. A ruinous pride is cultiv
ated. The labor that should be regarded
as most honorable, and performed in a joy
ous spirit, is held to be a drudgery, an irk
some task, to be performed ouly by those
who must undertake it to live. Yet which
is the truer man, or the more to be respect
ed ? That youth of pale check and thin
form, so smoothly garmented, who has just,
arrived from town on a visit to his home in
the country, with his whole pro|>erty, per
haps, iu a carpet bag, or that stalwart broth
er, of ruddy, healthful complexion, aud
generous, hearty soul, who directs the labors
of the farm, is the strong support of his pa
rents as their years increase, and the brave
protector of } ounger brothers and sisters
growing up to take their parts in the battle
us life ? The answer will come readily from
the judgment and lips of every one.
Nothing is more certaiu than that all the
plans for the regeneration of a people will
fail unless they are iu the first place brought
back to that respect for labor which is the
distinguishing feature of all those young
communities that are destined to achieve
greatness. Are not the ends and purposes
of all labor the same ? If they are, all
labor must be honorable, and lie who works
honestly is worthy of respect. It is he who
stands idle that should be looked upon with
eontenipt.
Man must labor to accomplish anything.
There is labor—bard labor to perform in
town and country. The town is as a bec- #
hive, in which the useful and ornamental
products of associated labor, genius and en
terprise are prepared, to be distributed
throughout the land. But they would soon
waste away if the culture of the soil should
be neglected. They depend upon the de
velopment of the agricultural resources of
the country for continued success and grand
er achievements; and, therefore, in the
great battle of progress, town anti country
must each perform its part to the utmost.

The Voice of a Patriarch.
There can hardly be among all our sub
scribers, an adult, who does not know by
reputation, at least, the venerable and use
ful Dr. Heman Bangs, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Thousands in this city
who have listened to his religious teachings,
and known him in the private walks of life,
can testify to the uncommon faithfulness
and devotion, with which his life has been
marked, in the service of his divine master.
A man of good information, sound judg
ment and patriotic principles, his opinions
command respect from every class of the
community. lie has recently visited the
South, and writes a long letter to “the
Methodist,” in which he gives an account
of his impressions of the State of affairs
there. He says he received nothing but
kind treatment, and although he always
spoke earnestly against secession, “no one
returned an uncivil answer.” Os the Insti
tution itself, he says :
“The relation of master and slave, has
never, to my satisfaction been proved to be
a sin. That there are great evils connected
with it, or that may grow out of it, I have
no doubt. So are there evils that may re
sult from the marriage relation, or the rela
tion of parent and child, but this does not
prove the relation itself to be a sin. A great
change has come over the public feeling3
both North aud South, withiu the last twen
ty-live years. One extreme begets another.
The extreme measures of the North on this
subject have driven the South into the op
posite extreme. Heretofore, there were
thousands at the South who considered slav
ery an evil, but a necessary evil which they
knew not how to remove ; but now, so far
as I can learn, they have come to the con
clusion that “the institution” is right and
scriptural, and the best state possible for
the blacks. I will not stop to argue the
poiut at all, I merely state the fact. As to
the physical condition of the slaves at the
South, I believe they are far better off than
the free blacks of the North—better fed,
better clothed, better housed, and do less
work. They appear iho happiest people to
be found—their masters aud mistresses have
all the care and expense. I am told that
the laws of Louisiana and Mississippi are
very severe in protecting the slave. The
Methodists are doing a great work among
them. Many missionaries arc employed on
the plantations —some of them are paid by
the planters themselves, some by the Mis
sionary Society, and some congregations of
blacks in New Orleaus support themselves.
[ conversed with a brother preacher who is
constansly laboring among this people, aud
he gave a thrilling account of his mission.
The movements of the abolitionists of the
North have been productive <f evil and only
evil to the masters and slaves, exasperating
the former, and causing them to restrict the
privileges of the latter. Oh, when shall this
wicked strife come to an end, and brotherly
love and fraternal intercourse return !”
With regard to the state of public feel
ing at the South, he says :
“As far as I could learn, there is but one
for secession, differing only as to how and
wht-n. Most were for immediate and sepa
rate action, while others, and a much less
number, were for co-operation with other
States, and waitiug until such co-eoperation
could be effected. The ultraism of the
North has begotten the ultraism of the
South. They look upon all Northerners as
abolitionists, and believe that the election
of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency dem
onstrates a combination and determination
in the North to use the power of the gener
al government to crush out their institu
tions. Whether this be true or false, right
or wrong, they sincerely believe it, hence
the haste and determination fur secession.
* * * * * *
I determined to reason with my brethren
at the South. They heard me patiently—
no one returned an uncivil word, but I fear
that few were convinced. Indeed, they
wore not in a state of mind to reason calmly.
1 told them they were just like our ultra
abolitionists at the North, and when did an
nltm nLolitionint liatou to reason ? Tlicjr
have split the Church, and now the nation
may go to fragments and they will not come
to the rescue. Is this the spirit of Christ ?
Is this the Gospel of peace ? Will the God
of love and peace be with us, if we continue
this unrighteous warfare ? Let us give the
South their just claims, and let their institu
tion alone. Cease this unchristian strife—
there is a worse evil than slavery —brother
warring against brother! I love my South
ern brethren. There are as warm and true
hearted Christians there, as anywhere on the
face of the earth, and they are as houest in
their view of things as we are. We must
bewaro of rash judgment. God will judge
us all in the last. Oh, that my head were
waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears,
that L might weep day uud night for my
Church and my country ! Shall I live to
see this beautiful structure which my father
assisted to raise with his blood, scattered to
the winds! 1 pray you, yc rneu of strife and
contention, stop —hands off!—repent, undo
as far as you can, the mischief you have
already done. As long as I live, I will p-ay
for the peace of Jerusalem, and the Union
of these United States. O God, the Lord
of Hosts, arise and save thy heritage, for
vain is the help of man !”
Cure for Neuralgia.—Sometime since
we published, at the request of a friend, a
reeeipe to cure neuralgia. Half a drachm
of sul ammonia in an ounce of camphor wa
ter, to be taken a teaspoonful at a dose, and
the dose repeated several times, at intervals
of five minutes, if the pain be not relieved
at once. Half a dozen different persons
have since tried the reeeipe, and in every
case an immediate cure was effected. Jn
one, the sufferer, a lady, had been subjected
to acute pains for mme than a week, and
her physician was unable to alleviate her
sufferings, when a solution of sal ammonia
in camphor water relieved her in a few min
utes. — Alta Californian.

“E. B.” writes from Washington to the
Express as follows of the closings days of
Mr. Buchanan’s Administration, the reflec
tions in which he indulges, how he proposes
to ride with Old Abe to the Capitol on Mon
day next, and then go home to Lancaster
and join the Church. The little sketch of
“E. B.” is pregnant with instruction to
those in high place, who unnecessarily aban
don life-long and tried frienas to gain some
trivial point of trifling importance :
“ It is popular to abuse Mr. Buchanan,
for he has no power, and but few friends
The Republicans delight to call him tyrant,
knave, and rogije, and Democrats denounce
him idiot, rogue, aud an embecile. But, iu
sober truth, he is none of these, but one
who, after over forty years of public service,
has made and lost more friends than perhaps
any man who ever before held public oflke
in tliis country. In six months after his
election he quarreled with some of his best
personal and political friends, and later with
thousands more. Os a party of thirty-live
life long and attached men with whom lie
dined in Philadelphia, after his election and
before his inauguration, not one now remains
to call him friend, or to feel an interest in
his future.
The gen.us of the President seems to have
been in repulsion rather than attraction, aud
hence no one honors the settiug sun. Mr.
Buchanan has—and to his credit be it spok
en —felt all these changes of personal fortune
much less than the sad condition of the
couutry, which distinguishes his Adminis
tration above all which ever preceded it.—
Intimate acquaintances have seen for three
months past that a real sorrow has been
wearing upon the mind and heart of the
President, He has declared for many weeks
here that he should see the President elect
inaugurated, hear his oath to support the
Constitution, and then go to his home.
In the midst of this great excitement and
threatened danger here, he has said : ‘I shal.
ride beside Mr. Lincoln, from the Whitt
House to the Capitol, even if it rains bullets
I shall then go to Lancaster, pass my days
in retirement, and seek to find consolation
and religion in the Church. Bitter sor
row has taught me that happiness can bt
found no where else/ Mr. Buchanan, there
fore, purposes at once upon his return to hi.-
homestead to become a member of the
Presbyterian Church,in which he has usually
worshipped. He feels—and let us attribute
it rather to good than bad impressions—at
deeply sorrowful for the condition of tht
country as the rest of us.”
Domestic Duties.
. - -/ f*
A knowledge of domestic duties is beyonr
all price to a woman. Every one of our se>
ought to know how to sew, and knit, am
mend, and cook, and superintend a house
hold. In every situation of life, high o<
low, this sort of knowledge is of great advan
tage. There is no necessity that the gaining
iof such information should interfere wit!
intellectual acquirement or elegant aecom
time To attend to all. When a girl is nln
or ten years old, she should be accustome<
to t ike some share in household duties, am
to feel responsible for the manner iu whicl
her part is perfomed,such as her own mend
ing, washing the cups and putting them ii
place, cleaning silver, or dusting and arrang
ing the parlor. This should not be don
occasionally, and neglected whenever sh
feels it convenient; she should consider i
her department. When older than twelve
girls should begin to take turns in superin
tending the household, making puddings,
pies, cake, &c.; to learn effectually to do thesi
things themselves, and not staud by and sei
others do them.— Mrs. Child.
Edward Everett in the Pulpit.—
Willis in his last letter to the 11. J., fron
Idlewild, gives a reminiscence of Ed ware
Everett as he used to look when he was r
clergyman:
A vision of the past has come o’er me.—
[ have seen 31 r. Everett once more as 1
tint Followed mid womteretf at him, befori
the culmination of his oratorical fame, whilt
he was still to be seen occasionally in tin
pulpit, in Boston, idolized by that less in
tellectual circle who appreciated and valued
what was soon to have fame and glory uni
versal. To my neophyte sense (for I was
but a Latin-school boy, fitting for college,
and I knew him but as the young Brattle
street clergyman whose wonderful talent*
had made him elected by acclamation a*
Professor of Harvard) his eloquence seemeo
to differ from all that I could elsewhere
hear, in the inexplicable peculiarity of not
being altogether of this world ! The uttei
taultlessness and completeness of bis lan
guage, the varied and strange music of bit
cadences, the absolute grace and significance
of his oratorical presence and gesture —these
marvels ot art came with a certain inspired
spoutaniety, which, as you looked upou the
luminous beauty of his eounternance —the
fair, pure features set in a halo of sunny
curls —seemed superhuman and oracular. —
l have never got over the two fold impres
srn which 31 r. Everett then produced on
my mind in its stage of boy scholarship—
the wonderful, inevitable hitting home o!
every arrowy word, and the occasional sweep
ing away of .ill ownership of brain and hear
with the resistless yielding to his eloquence
’Often as l have heard him since, the spel
of his oratorical magic has been the same—
my feelings, as I came away from his closing
sentences, being always like what isexpres*-
ed by the Psalmist: “So man did eatangel’i
food.'*

This individual was, some years ago, elect
ed an honorary member of the New Eeg
land Historical Geological Society, and,
agreeable to its requirements, made the fol
lowing statement of his genealogy :
Hampton, Me., Aug. ‘23, 1855.
Dear Sir : Agreeable to the requirements
of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society, of which I have been elected aa
honorary member, I submit the following
statement.
My name is Hannibal Hamlin—born'in
Paris, county of Oxford, State of Maine,
August 2 1 th, 1809. Cyrus Hamlin was my
father. He died in Paris, January, or Feb
ruary, 1828, aged about 48. lie was a sur
geon and physician. Ho was Clerk of the
Courts of Oxford county for several rears,
and subsequently High Sheriff of the same
county. 1 think ho had more than twenty
brothers and sisters. Four of the brothers
were named Asia, Africa, Europe and Am
erica. Africa was a member of the Cincin
nati Society.
My mother died about forty years s ncr,
aged about seventy. Her name was -Anna
Livermore, daughter of Deacn Elijah Liv
ermore, of the town of Livermore, in Oxford
county. They were married about the year
1798, (If desirable, 1 can obtain the exact
dates of their birth, marriage and .decease-.)
I prepared myself for a collegiate educa
tion. The death of my father required my
service at home, and I devoted n y=e!f to
labor on the homestead until I was twenty
one years old. I then went into a printing
office, having purchased an interest therein,
where I remained something more than a
year, working as a compositor. I then
commenced the study of the law—was ad
mitted to the Bar January, 1833—commenc
ed practice at Hampden, April, 1833, and
continued in the practice up to 1848.
I was a member of the House of Repre
sentatives, in Maine, for the years 1836, *37,
’3B, *39 and ’4O. Was Speaker of the
House in 1837, *39, and ’4O. Was also a
member in 1847. Was a candidate for
Congress in 1840, and was defeated by about
250 majority in a poll of about 15,000
votes. Was elected in 1842, and re-elecUd
in 1844. Was elected to the Senate in
1848 to supply the vacancy for the four
years, occasioned by the death of John Fair
field. Was re-elected in 1850 for the term
of six years. 11. HAMLIN.

The effect of extreme cold is thus describ
ed by Bayard Taylor: W hen the thermom
eter is 40 or 50 degrees below zero, the
sensation which you endure, I can only char
acterize as a continued struggle for life.—
You not only feel the cold but actually see
it. The hair is hazy with frozen moisture.
The sky is like a vault of solid steel., so hard
and pale does it appear. And the wind is
like a blast out of that fabulous frozen hill
of the Tim
Jail and jagged knife. I endured this
weather during two days of travel iu an
*pen sleigh, but very fortunately it was
blowing on my bark, or I would have been
obliged to give up the battle. Every man
I met who was traveling against the wind
nad a face either already frozen or just in
he act of freezing. Those purple faces
surrounded with rings of ice did not seem
to belong to human beings. Dr. Kaue de
-cribed to me his sensation upon being ex
posed for two days to a storm ut a tempera
ture of 47 degrees below zero. Although
the physical effect was not particularly pain
ful, yet the mental effect was such as to
make him and his men delirious for some
days afterwards. The physical effect of an
extremely low temperature—perhaps the
lowest which the human frame is capable of
feeling—is a sort of slow, penetrating, dead
ly chili, rather than an acute and painful
sensation. But after the battle is over, on
entering a warm room then a painful sensa
tion commence?.
Atlanta a Port of Entry and Deliv
ery.—The secretary of the Tieasnryof th-
Confederate .States has designated the city of
Atlanta a Port of Entry and Delivery, m
---braciug the territory circumsrrib* and by a Hue
extending from West Point in Tr< tip Coun
ty, to Bartlesville, Upson County, thence to
Greensboro’, Greene County, and from the
latter poiut, in a direct Northern line, to the
borders of South Carolina—the Sta*c lines
of the Carolina?, Tennessee and Alabama
completing the District.
We learn that the Agency of the Port of
Atlnta has been tendered to Francis J. Shack
elford, Esq., formerly of Charleston, late of
Columbus, and for the last twelve months a
resident of this city. Should Mr. Shackelford
accept the responsible position, we know of
io gentleman better calculated to discharge
the duties, nor of one whose appointment
would give more entire satisfaction to the
community in general.
The Slavers Outmanoeuvring the
Coast Squadron. —A letter from the Afri
can Squadron says that “the close coasting
dodge” of the cruisers has been studied well
by slaver captains, who now escape with
their usual ease. No American man-of-war
has taken a prize for six-months, although
five of them are in the centre of the slave
traders’ track, at the mouth of the Congo
river. Seventeen cargoes of negroes are
known to have safely left Africa since Sep
tember. • A detachment of the light draught
vessels, Mohawk, Crusader, and others fr m
the coast of Cuba, gives slavers a holiday;
and it is said they are taking advan'age of
it. The British Admiral in the Gulf is
about to send two ships to replace the Amer
ican one withdrawn.
Piiropuecy of Col. Benton.—Rev. Mr.
Outfield, of I'hiladelph.a, in his Fast Pay
Sermon, related the following anecdote of the
l .tc Col. Thomas 11. Bent, n :
“A few mouth? before the disease of the
lato Col. Benton, he said to a young politi
cal friend, then on a visit to Washington :
‘Young man, you have seen the Kali of
