It was a noble Roman,
In Rome’s imperial day.
Who heard a coward croaker.
Before the battle, say :
“They’re safe in a fortres;
There is no way to shake it—”
“On! on !” exclaimed the hero,
“I'llfind a way, or make it /”

Her path is steep and high ;
In vain he seeks the temple,
Content to gaze and sigh ;
The shining throne is wating,
But he alone can take it,
Who says with Roman firmness,
I’ll find a way, or make it !
Is Learning your ambition?
There is no royal road ;
Alike the peer and peasant
Must climb to her abode;
Who feels the thirst of knowledge.
In Helicon may slake it,
If he has still the Roman will
To find a way, or make it J

A New Superstition in Ohio—Alleged
Miraculous Powers of its Founders.
We have already copied ar. article from j
the Sandusky Register, which described
tiie instantaneous cute bv immersion ot Mr.
Willard, a blacksmith of Oborry-tr?o
Corners, who had been very lame for four
years, injuries occasioned by tiie kick ot a
horse. The account stated that Mr.
Willard had been warned in a dream to
seek the above mentioned mode of cure,
and also that while he was carried into the
water in the arms oftwo men, be walked
back to the bank of the creek attd got into
his carriage without assistance. So much
for the original narrative. A correspon
dent of the Dayton Religious Telescope
communicates the following additionel de
tails respecting the baptism and its results.
He says :
This pretended miracle was performed in
the neighborhood where I preached, and
it bM caused quite an excitement, and
resulted in the organizing of a new sect. — :
Soinethree months since, I went to the,
house of Mr. Willard, and found him sit |
ting in his chair, seemingly in good health ;
but he said, however, that he had been j
kicked in the back by i\ horse, about two j
years ago. and had not been able to walk
?!PCa. One Mr. B—- was there at the
time 1 was, and said be bad come in the
name of the Lora to hOhl Mr. Willart*.—
Mr. B said :
“Last year, as I was coming in from the
West, being very hungry and without
money, I knelt under a black haw tree to
pray. The tree hung full of berries, but
they were all green. I prayed a few min
utes, and then looked up, and lo! they’
were all ripe ! I arose and ate, and it was
like eating frnits from the other world. 1
did not again get hungry until I got home.’
Mr. B——considered himself now divinely
inspired to work miracles, and be proposed
to heal Mr. W., if be would believe cer
tain doctrines. Although a strong Spirit
ualist, be readily assented to the points of
doctrine presented to him. Mr. B
then commanded him, “in the name of
Jesus Christ to rise and walk ; but he made
• complete failure, and left the house,
boasting that be would return and heal
Mr. Willard. Soon after this,Mr. Willard
made an attempt to put his large Bible in
the stove ; but, according to his own con
fession to me, conscienco smote him, and
lie wa compelled to abandon bis wicked
purpose.
The next time that I was in the neigh
borhood, I found that someone bad given
out nn appointment for me to preach at
: Willard’s bouse. 1 accordingly went and
preached, and iound that be now professed
| to have met with some wonderful change,
auii was now a Christian ; but he still held
jto tha notion that spirits were constantly
around him. and by “shutting my eyes,”
aaid be, “I can see them very diticily.”
Now, Mr. B .and three or four oth
er disaffected members of the church on
Bro. Evans’ mission, and some on my cir
cuit, commenced to hold meetings at Mr.
Willard’s bouse; and, after cursing the
chifrch for a few weeks, they would organ
ise a new church. About this thime, Mr.
W. aey* “eight spirits” told him to be bap
tised'ht a eeltain time, aud that he should
to Sealed. ’ The individuals just referred

mg ceremony :
“Have yon faith that you will now be
healed V
Mr. W —“1 have.”
“I baptize yon in the name of the Fath
er. I baptize you in the name of the Son.
I baptize you in the name of the Holy
Ghost.”
Mr. Willard walked out of the water,
and has been able to walk ever since, with
the assistance of a cane in each hand /
The game was now played out, save the
organizing of the church, and that was
soon accomplished, for I understand that
their Articles of Faith were previously
prepared ; and now, with their colors flung
to the breeze, they intend to take the
world ! This new church seems to be but
one body, yet it has two heads ! One is to
be the chief baptizer, and a priest after the
manner of Mr. D . The other is Mr.
B , who is to be a kind of prophet, and
also to procure subjects upon whom they
will bestow health and everlasting bene
fits.
As none are to be received into this new
society but by immersion, the next thing
done was, the two leaders were baptized
—each one pet the other tinder! Last
Sabbath they baptized a woman, the wife
of an old Mormon preacher, and she says
that she was cured of a tnnior in her side
so perfectly that not even a scar is left.
One of their members told me the other
day that lie had seen boiling water poured
on to Mr. B.’s foot, and that le was not
injured in the least. They teach that
“man is not depraved, for if lie were he
would not be capable of loving the wo
man !” This new move has created a
great excitement in the neighborhood;
but I know of no one that lias any confi
-o,'uce in the miracles or pretensions of these
latter day prophets, save their own mem
bers.
Or Marriagr.
I suppose there is a modicum of romance
in most natures, aud that if it gather about
any event it is that of marriage. Most
people marry theirideals. There is inoic
or lessficticous mid fallacious glory rest
ing upon the head of every bride, which ;
the inchoate husband believes in. Most i
men and women manufacture perfection
in their mates by a happy process of their
imaginations, and then marry them. This,
of course, wears away. By the time the
hnshaud has seen his wife eat heartily of
pork and beans, and, with her Imir friz
zled, and her oldest dress on, full of the
enterprise of overhauling things, ho sees
that she belongs lo the same race as him
self.
And she, when her husband gets up
cross in the morning, and undertakes to
shave himself with cold water and a dull
razor, while his suspenders dangle at bis
heels, begins to sec that man is a very
prosaic animal. In other words, there is
such as a honeymoon, of longer or shorter
duration ; and while the moonshine lasts,
the radiance of the seventh heaven cannot
compare with it. It is a very delicious
little delirium —a febrile mental disease—
which, like measles, never come again.
When the honeymoon passes away, set
| ting behind dull mountains, or dripping
j silently into the stormy sea of life, the
* trying hour of marriage-life has come.
Between the parties, there are no more
illusions. The feverish desire of passion
lias gone—vanished into gratification—
and all excitement has receded. Then
begins, or should begin, the business of
adaption. If they find that they do not
love one another as they thought they
did, they should (Jc b, e their assiduous At
tentions to one another, and l>e jealous of
everything which tends in the slightest
degree to seperate them. Life is too pre
cious to be thrown away in secret regrets,
or open differences. And let me say to
every one to whom the romance of life
has fled, and who are discontented in the
slightest degree with their condition and
relations, begin this work of reconciliation
before you are a day older.
Renew the attentions of eariier days.
Draw your hearts close together. Talk
the thing all over. Acknowledge your
faults to one another, and determine that
henceforth yen will be all in all to each
other, and, my word for it, you shall find
in your relation the sweetest joy earth
has for yon. There is no other way for
you to do. If you are happy at home
you must be happy abroad ; the man or
woman who has settled down upon the
conviction that he or she is attached for
life to an uncongenial yoke fellow, and
that there is no way of escape, has lost
life; there is no effort too costly to make
which can restore to its setting upon the
bosoms, the missing pearl.— Timothy Tit
comb.
Day- Dt earning.— Like the dreamer who
is getting great sums of money in his sleep,
and who, when he awakes, opens his Dll
or his pocket-book, almost expecting to
find it fall; so the day-dreamer, the pro
jector awaking up at the close of lift, can
hardly believe that after his distinct and
glorious viaiona, he is leaving the world qo
wiser,, mankind no richer, and hi? turn
home no happier, for all the golden proa-
Cts which have flitted through bis buay
in. What a blessed world it were, how
happy, and how rich, it all the idlers were
working, it all the workers were awake,
and If eilthe projectors were practical men!
A Striking Contract.
Our friends Turner, in his number of
“The Plantation,” (by the the by, a very
readable quarterly) in the course of an
article on Hon H. V. Johnson, draws a
very striking contrast between this gen
tleman and Senator Toombs. The hits
are made with much force and correctness:
“Os all the men I have ever heard speak
Johnson and Toombs are the greatest
masters of invective, and consequently the
greatest stump-orators. I have often
heard it mooted which excels as a popular
speaker. Perhaps tor a short speech Toombs
does. For a long one, it is quite question
able whether he does or not. Toombs is
always ready. It takes a good deal to
arouse Johnson, so that be shall 6how to
the best advantage. Johnson has to wait
to get up a good head of steam. Toombs
keeps a full supply constantly on hand.—
In fact he is a steamy fellow, and a con
stant use of the safety-valve is essential
to his salvation. It is absolutely necessary
to his prosperity that he should blow off
rather frequently. Johnson can better
afford to “nurse his wrath to keep it warm
without danger of bursting. Tooms would
put on the same head of steam to go a
mile that he would a million. Johnson
would have to go some distance before he
got to running well. Toombs is obliged
to talk. Jt hnson can sometimes be silent.
If Toombs were a vinegar cask, he never
could be prevailed upon to hold the cider
longer than for it to become a good, sharp,
wholesome beverage. Johnson could
keep it until it would dissolve tenpenny
nails.
Toombs, besides some logic, and much
invective, has a good deal of wit, humor,
pleasantry, and blarney. Jonson has none
of tho lattci four, but lias much logic,
powerful invective, and fine rhetoric.—
Johnson can’t take any side but what lie
believes to he the right one, and to defend
the wrong would be as weak as a child.—
It makes no kind of difference with
Toombs—ho is just as powerful on the
wrong side as on the right ; and if there
were a thousand other sides besides the
right one and the wrong one, he could
make,.not only a respectable, bnt a hril-
I liaut showing for any one of them. If
you were fighting with Toombs lie would
box you, and bite you, and scratch you,
and kick you, and cuff you, and slap, and
punch you, and gouge you. Johnibn would
stand up straight, qever closing in, never
grapling, never trust ling, but would greet
you with powerful, sledge-hammer blows
every pop. If anything funny occured
in the fight Toombs could not keep from
laughing. Johnson would be too much
in earnest to cachinate. Give Toomcs a
battle-axe and set him to work upon you,
and lie could not, to save his life, help hit
ting you sometimes a light blow. Some
times he would turn the hnnaie round
and punch you ; sometimes he would evbn
take the axe in one hanf and pinch you
or twist your nose with the other. Not so
with Johnson; he would strike you with
the blade of the axe every time coming
down with both hands, untill he finished
you. If you were Toombs’s victim, he
would take time to torture, and sport, and
toy with youlikeacat does with the mouse,
before destroying you. Like the Hon John
son would put an end to you at one blots
if he could; for whatsoever hiß band
findetli to do he doeth it with his might.”
Onward.
Onward is the language of creation.
The stars whisper it in their coarse*; the
seasons breathe it as they succeed each
other’ th? night winds whistles it: the
waters of the deep roar it up ; the moun
tains lift their heads and tell it i6 the
clouds; and Time, the hoary-headed po
tentate, proclaims it with an iron tongue.
From clime to clime, from ocean to ocean,
from planet to planet—all is onward.
From the smallest rivulet down to the
unfathomable sea, every thing is onward.
Cities hear its voice and rise up into mag
nificence; nations hear it and sink into
the dust; m.inarchs learn it and tremble
on their thrones; continents feel it and
are convulsed as with an earthquake.
Men, customs, fashions, tastes, and prej
udices are all onward. States, districts,
counties, towns, cities, and villages, are all
onward. That word never ceases to in
fluence the destines of men. Science can
not arrest it, nor philosophy divert it from
its purpose. It flows with the blood in
oar viens, and every second of time chron
icles its progress.
From one stage of civilization to an
other ; from one toweriug landmark to
another; from one attitude of glory to
another; we still move upward *nl on
ward.
Thus did our forefathers escape the
barbarism of the past ages; thus do we
conquer the errors of our time, aud draw
nearer to the invisible. So must we move
onward, with our armor bright, our weap
ons keen, and hearts firm as the “ever
lasting bills.” Every muscle must he
braced, every nerve strung, every energy
roused, and every thought watchful. “On
ward is the watchword.”

Music in Schools.
Thk following is an extract from a
speech of Gov. Banks, of Massachusetts,
delivered at Boston Music Hall, a short
time since:
The study of music is one of the most
practical studies in which men or women
can engage. There is no hour of the day,
no hour of life, ao occupation in which
men or women may be engaged, when the
power of impressing the hnman thought or
the hnman sympathies in harmonious num
bers, is not only practicable, but where it
is not needed. It softens the atmosphere
of the boudoir; it makes more pleasant
the darkened shop of the artisan; in the
street it takes the place of riot and ribaldry;
and in whatever association oren whatever
occasion, men or women may he gathered,
the power of common utterance and human
sympathies in these harmonious numbers as
expressed by that most majestic organ, the
human voice, never, never can be heard
without moving the heart to its deepest,
highest and serenest pleasure. More than
teaching music in the Common Schools is
the first step in physical culture. It is a
step of the highest and most important
character. It is the culture of the voice, the
human voice, that organ which lias more
power over the world than any other pow
er of which man is the possessor. More
than the love of the schools, more than the
cunning of the artisan and the craftsman,
more than the skill of the professor, the
liuniun voice can mould aud direct the
masses of men in the right way, to tlie
general good. And there can be no cul
ture of this majestic organ of which alone
the poet has well said that it has the pow
er of
“Untwisting all the links that tie
The hidden soul of harmony"—
there can he no general culturo of that
organ, except it be through music
in the Common Schools, to the high
and the low, to the learned and the
unlearned, to those who have taste and
to those who have come to acquire a taste.
And to give this poworto one and to all, is
the only method and tho only principle
wo have to improve and increase us in the
use of the finest instrument with which
God has strengthened the human system.
“I Wish I had Capital.”
This was the exclamation of a stout
hearty but lazy young man, the other day.
Now suppose you had capital—what
would you do with it ? Let me tell you
you have capital. Haven’t yon got hands
aud feet, and body and muscle, and bone
and brains, don't you call them capital !
Oh ! but they are not money, say you.
But they are more than money. If you
will use them they will uiako money', and
uobody can take them from you. Don’t
you know how to use them ? If you don’t
it is time you were learning. Take hold
of the first plough, or hoe, or jack plane,
or ax that you can find, and go to work.
Your capital will soon yield you a large
interest. Aye, but there’s the rub ; you
don’t wont to work, you want money or
credit that you may play the gentleman
and speculate, ana eud by playing the
vagabond; or you want a plantation of
negroes, that you may have au ovcrscei to
attend to them while you run about over
the country aud dissipate and get in debt;
or you want to marry some very rich girl,
who may be foolish enough to take you
for your fine clothes and good looks, that
she may support you.
Shame upon you, young man ! Go to
work with the capital you have ; you’ll
soon make interest, upon it, and with it to
give you as much money as you want, and
make jou feel like a man. If you can’t
make money upon what capital you have,
you couldn’t make it if you had a million of
dollars in money. If you don’t know how
to use bone, muscle and brains you would
not know how to use gold. If you let the
capital you have lie idle and waste and
rust out, it would be the very same thing
with you if you bad gold ; you would only
know how to waste.
Then don’t stand about like a great
helpless child waiting for somebody to
cotne aud feed you, but go to woik. Take
the first work you can find, no matter what
it is so that you be surb to do it like Billy
Gray did his drumming—well. Yes, man
age the capital you already have ; you
will soon have plenty more to manage ; if
you can’t or won’t manage the capital God
has given you, yon will never have any
more to manage. Do you bear?—Mari

Maxims of Washington.
Use no reproachful language against
any one—neither curses nor revilings.
Be not too hasty to believe lying re
port* to tlie disparagement of any one.
In your apparel be modest, and endeav
or to accommodate nature rathci than to
procure admiration.
Associate yourself only with men of
good quality, if you esteem your reputation
for it ia better to be alone than in had com
pany.
Let your conversation be without malice
or envy, for it is the sign of a tractable and
commendable spirit; and in cases of pas
sion admit reason to govern.
Usj not bad and frivolous things against
learned men ; nor very difficult questions,
or subjects among the igLorant, nor things
hard to be believed.
Speak not of doleful things in timo, of
mirth, nor at table, nor of melancholy things
as death or wounds ; and if others mention
them change, if you can, tho discourse.
Break not a jest when none take pleasure
in them
Laugh not loud, nor at all without occa
sion.
Deride no roan’s misfortune, though
there seem to be cause.
Be not forward, but friendly and courte
ous—the first to salute, hear and answer ;
and be not peusire when it U time to con
verse.
Keep to the fashion of your equals, such,
as the civil and oiderly, with respect to time
and place.
Go not thither when you know not
whether you will be welcome or not.
Reprehend not the imperfections of oth
ers, for that belongs to parent, masters olid
superiors.
Speak not in an unknown tongue |n com
pany, bnt in your own language, and that
as those of quality do, uot as the vulgar.
Sublime matters treat seriously.
Think before you speak ; pronounce
not imperfectly, nor bring out your words
too harshly, hut orderly and distinctly.
The Opposition Candidate.
The following is taken from the New
York Herald. It sap*:
“Mr. Bell is a hard, dry map, of the old ,
school of politicians. Entering upon pub
lic life in the early days of the Jaoksoninu,
party, ho went into opposition to the Dom
cratic erganization on the Bonk question,
and over after acted with Mr. Clay and tho
Whig party. Without any remarkable
genius or capacity, his long participation
in public affairß has given him a practical
experience which confers npon him an ap
parent statesmanship among the smallpoa
ticians that have wriggled themselves iutfl.
senatorial and representative seats. He is
an estimable man, but he belongs to tho
fossil remains of the old Whig strata in
political geology. He has no sympathies
in common with the present generation, and
his name will awaken none of the enthusi
asm among tho young men which is abso
lutely essential for a successful campaign.
His chances as a presidential candidate are
that he will receive about the same vote
that Mr. Fillmore obtained; and this
leaves the struggle between the Chicago ’
nominee and thu one of the adjourned
Charleston convention.”
Make a Note.— Among the list of Vice-
Presidents and Secretaries of the Black
Republican Convention, late in session at
Chicago, we observe the names of R. G.
Ilazznrd and R. R. Hazzard, both of
Rhode Island. The objects had in view
by that Convention were declared in their
charming platform of procedure—lsid
yesterday before our readers—High Tariff,
Internal Improvement, Abolition. These
men, R. G. llazzard and R. R. Hazzard—
father and sot! —are the manufacturers of
that article so extensively used through
the South —••Hatxard’s Plains.” These
men have become rich through trade al
most exclusively with the South, and here
they are prominently enrolled amongst her
enemies. Would it not. ho wl(; that they
should be made to feel their treachery, by
a general exclusion from the Southern
market of all goods coming from their
manufactory, by a simple refusal of all the
planters to buy another yard of “llaz
xard's Plains.” Hand it round.— Char

your journal for a cure for Hog Cholera,
I will give my experience in the matter.
If you think it worth publishing, do so, if
not, then cast it aside Mv neighbors’
hogs, with which mine nsed daily, took
the cholera- and I think an average of half;
of them died. A* soon as I; discovered,
they had it, I got some Blucstono and;
prepared a stand of water in a convenient
place, making it smartly Llut-ish. Info
this I threw my corn, in the ear, and let
it soak about twelve hours, than gave it
to my hogs. I occasionally added a little
more water and Bluestone. and kept it up
as long as the cholera pievailed. The re
sult whs not anq of my hogs took the dis
ease.
