All the World’s a Song.
, BY DANIEI. MULFORD.
The Fanner has hopes
Os plentiful crops,
Provided the season prove long ;
But the drouth, worm or rust.
Or too early a frost,
Will disperse alt his hopes like a song.
The Merchant will tell you,
His cheap goods to soil you,
Pray look; sirthev’re fine good and strong,
You’ll not find them trash, sir,
I’m hard run for cash sir,
I’ll sell my whole stock for a song.
The Doctor will fill you
With stuff that will kill you,
And swears he will make you live long;
He delays your account,
Till lie makes an amount,
That will sink vour estate to a song.
The Parson so grave,
Says vour sotd he will save,
As he points out the right from the wrong.
He reasons and teaches,
lie prays and he preaches,
Then turns out his flock with a song:
But not so the Lawyer,
Who cheats his employer,
By means of his volublo tongue,
To Judges and jury,
He pouts out his fury,
But leaves you to sing your own song.
Thus we’ve named in our rhymes,
The men of our times,
Tim simple, the wise, weak and strong,
Come leave off your glasses,
Take time as it passes,
And each honest lad sing a song.
Middleton ( Ohio) Emblem.
The Printer’s Hours of Peace.
Know ye the Printer’s hours of Peace ?
Know yean hour more fraught with joy
Than ever felt the Maid of Greere
When kissed by Venus’ am’rous boy 1
’Tis not when round the mazy case,
His nimble fingers kiss the types ;
Nor is it when, with lengthened face,
The sturdy ‘devil’s tail’ he gripes.
’Tis not when news of dreadful note
Ills columns all with minion fill;
’ Pis not when brother printer’s quote
The effusions of his stump-worn quill.
’ Tis not when in Miss Fancy’s glass
Long advertisements meet Ins eye,
And seem to whisper as they pass,
‘ We’l! grace your columns by and by.’
No—reader—no!—the Printer’s hour,
II is hour of real sweet repose.
Is not when by some magic power
His list of pattons daily grows.
But O, ’tis when the weather’s clear,
Or clad in rain or hail, or vapor,
He hears in accents soft and dear,
* I’ve come to pay*you for your paper!’
7'he Way To JVin A Kiss. —The
late Mr. Bush used to tell this story of
a brother barrister. As the coach was
about to leave before breakfast, the mod
est limb of the law approached the hind
lady, a pretty quakeress, who was near
the fire, arid said he could not think of
going without giving her a kiss.
“Friend,” said she, “thee must not do
it.”
“Olt, by heavens, I will !” replied the
barrister.
“Well, friend, ns thou hast sworn,
thee may do it, but thee must not make
a practice of it.”
The Norfirlk’/icrtf/ri says: “A wag
observes that the “platform’’ is a charac
teristic affair, it endorses the Declara
tion of /ndepeudeoce, reaffirms the gotta
percha resolutions of'9B and’99, which
have seen such hard service for half a cen
(tirv. is silent on the Main liquor law and
the Rochester nockings, and exercises the
depnrted spirit of the National Bank,
which, like some dark demon seems to
haunt the bed curtains of restless demo,
cracy. These are the standing general
ises—the old land marks, as they are fa
miallinrly called.”
7'lie San Antonio Ledger says that
Bexar county, at the late term of the Dis
trict Court, contributed forty-five years
and eight months’ labor to the Stale, by
sending convicts to the Penitentiary
whose aggregate services for the periods
to which they arc sentenced amount to
that time.
OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS.
Os Bearing the Infirmities of others.
1- Those evils which a man cannot
rectify, either in himself or others, lie
ought to bear with humble resignation,
till God shall be pleased to produce a
change ; for this state of imbecility is,
perhaps, continued as the proper trial of
patience, without the perfect work of
which we shall make but a slow and in
effectual progress in the Christian life.—
Yet under these impediments we must de
voutly pray that God would enable us,
by the assistance of his Spirit, to bear
them with constancy and meekness.
2. I falter the first and second admoni
tion thy brother will not obey the truth,
contend no longer with him, but leave the
event to God, who only kunwelh how to
turn evil into good, that his will may be
done, and bis glory accomplished in all
his creatures.
3. Endeavor to he always patient of
the faults and imperfections of others;
for thou hast many faults and imperfec
tions of thy own, that require a recipro
cation of forbearance. If thou art not
able to make thyself that which thou
wishest to be, how canst thou expect to
mould another in conformity to thy will ?
But we require perfection in the rest of
mankind, and take no care to rectify the
disorders of our own hearts ; we desire
that the faults of others should be severly
punished, and refuse the gentlest correc
tion ourselves ; we are offended at their
licentiousness, and yet cannot bear the
least opposition to our own immoderate
desires ; we would subject all to the con
trol of rigorous statutes and penal laws,
but wi’l not suffer any restraint upon our
own actions ; and thus it appears how
very seldom the second of the two great
commandments of Christ is fulfilled, and
how difficult it is for a man to ‘ love his
neighbor as he loves himself.’
4. If all men were perfect, we should
meet with nothing in the conduct of oth
ers to suffer for the sake of God. But
in the present fallen state of human na
ture, it is his blessed will, that we should
learn to ‘ bear one another's burdens ;’
and as no man is free from some burden
of sin or sorrow—as none has strength
and wisdom sufficient for all the purposes
of life and duty—the necessity of mutual
forbearance, mutual consolation, mutual
support, instruction and advice, is found
ed upon our mutual imperfections, troub
les and wants. Besides, by outward oc
casions of suffering from the conduct of
others, she nature and degree of every
man’s inward strength is more plainly
discovered ; for outward occasions do
not make him frail, but only show him
what he is in himself.— Thomas A.
Kemp is,
Mrs. CLAY. —The New York Ex
press copies the following article from the
Pennsylvanian, which stated that Mrs.
Clay had never visited Washington, and
says
“This is a very good story and we are
sorry to spoil it,hut truth requires the cor
rection. Mrs. Clay then in her day,
has been one of the gayest and most
graceful women of the Federal Metropo
lis, and is so remembered by many in the
district of Columbia. She lias, how ever,
been an excellent wife and mother, and
always distinguished for her domestic
qualities.
A large bald male eagle, whirl) with
its mate had inhabited “Dole’s Woods,”
Strodwater, Me., and reared young year
after year, for 40 or 50 years at least,
was shot a few days ago, by a person
living in the vicinity. It had latterly
got to be very ferocious, and had carried
off two lambs and turkies, geese and chick
ens without stint, and fearing that some
child might be attacked and carried off
by it, one of the owners of the woods
reluctantly consented to have it shot.
On Sunday last, the female, after being
absent for a while, came back with two
others—determined apparently to keep
possession of her old domain. So says
the Portland Advertiser.
‘Make way fora hinderpendent woter,’
said a man at a recent election at New
Orleans.
‘Why, good man.’ said the Clerk it
is not an hour since you deposited your
vole at this very poll.’,
‘I knows, I knows,’ says the voter;
that was the Democratic ticket ; litis ‘ere
is the Whig ticket.’
‘But if you strive to vote twice I shall
have you arrested.’’
‘You will, will you?’ shouted the son
of the sovereign people ;‘then I say if
I’m denied the right of voting for the
wigs, after goin’ the whole ticket for the
Democrats, there ain’t no universal stiff..
erage, that’s all. It’s a darn’d one-sided
buisness thke it all round.
Tobacco.
Where the following originated we do
not know, but there is so much of truth in
it that we copy it as a warning to our
young readers. We hope they will lay it
np in tlietr memories, and if ever templ
ed to use the disgusting weed in any form,
to let the statements it contains deter
them from an act of folly which will be
repented of for a life-time :—“Tobacco
lias spoiled and utterly ruined thosnnds
of boys, inducing a dangerous precocity,
developing the passions, softening and
weakening the bones and greatly injuring
the spinal marrow, the brain, and the
whole nervous fluid. A boy who early
and frequently smokes, or in any way uses
large quantities of tobacco, never is
known to make a man of much energy
of character, and generally lacks physical
and as well ns mental energy. We would
pariiculary warn boys who want to he
any body m the world, to shun tobacco
as a most deadly poison.”
Buying mid selling.
We do not know the author of the
following, which we find among the
“Mercantile Miscellanies of Hunt’s ex
cellent Merchants’ Magaziene ; but it tells
(lie plain truth on die subject of honesty
in buying and selling, and those who
really desire to he upright in dealing, will
do well to lay it to heart :—“Some are
not honest in buying or selling. Their
rule is, to bu v at all times as cheap as they
can, and tosell as dear as they can. This
is a wicked rule. We often trUde with
those who do not know the w’orlli of the
thing bought or sold. It is cheating
I hem, lo make the best bargin we can.
Sometimes we trade with those who are
in great want, and we fix our own prices,
and make them much too high if we sell,
or too low if we buy. There is a fail
price for everything. Let that be paid
or taken for everything. He who isjust
and true, and loves his neighbor as him
self, will soon find out what a fair price
is. Almost all men use too many words
in buying and selling; and when too
many words are used, there is almost al
ways a lie somewhere.”
Roman Catholic Pastoral Letter.
The Roman Catholic Bishops, who
recently met in general council at Balti
more, have issued a pnstroal letter to ihe
clergy and laity in their charge. They
speak with joy of die attachment of the
Roman Catholics ol'tlie United Slates to
their religion. They allude to the Pope
•is the successor of St. Peter, and the heir
of the privileges conferred on the prince
of die apostoles ; on him the church is
built; hierarchy has g'-own up under his
care, Sic.—They exhort their brethren to
cherish a love for the Holy See in which
is preserved an unbroken succession <>!
pastors from the time of Christ to the pre
sent day, &e. ; to sustain their prelates
in their efforts to maintain the discipline
of die church which claims obedience
both in teaching the truth of theirs, faith
and prescribing rules of conduct, “obey
your prelates and he subject to them.’’
The wantsof the church they say are rap
idly increasing, in the matter of pastors,
missions, See. They acknowledge aid
received from the society for the propaga
tion of die ‘a it li in Lyons and France and
recommend obedience to the public au
thorities.
From China*
Ilong Kong papers had been received
in San Francisco to the 17tIi March.
The screw steamer Paonsha-.v had ar
rived in Unrig Kong from England, and
was about to be put upon the rout between
the ports on the east coast of China.
This is anew era in the traffic of that part
of the u orld.
The North China Herald of the 6th
March, contains a correspondence be
tween the commissioners of die American
and Chinese Government regarding
smuggling, and the exportation of, grain
from consular ports in China. From the
letters on the latter subject, we learn that
tile Hon. Dr. Darker, Acting American
Charge d’ Affaires iri China lias called on
his subordinates (die counsels) to issue in
structions to the merchants to desist from
the exportation ofitce, wheat and other I
grains, pending a reference of the ques
tion to die United Sir.tes Congress.
| TERMS: $2 in Advance.
The rebellion was still progessing, and
the rebels appeard to be carryng all be
fore them. An attack on the cities of
Canton and Pekin was expected, and Sen,
the Governor General, was besieged in
the city of Knou-eliow-foo.
A rebellion had broken out in the
Canton province. The officers engaged
in collecting the taxes found some who
had no means of paying, but instead of
seizing these men, they took their elder
brothers into custody, especially the
richer ones, from whom they expected to
obtain a good deal of money as a ransom.
The inhabitants, however, became en
raged. and rose and killed the magistrate
of the district.— N. O. Picayune „
A Mistake.
It was very currently reported for some
days, that General Pierce’s response to
Mr. R. G. Scott’s circular had been sent
to Baltimore, under the belief that Mr.
S. was a delegate to the Convention.
But that was a mistake. Genearl Pierce
made no answer lo the interrogatories
addressed to him by the Cateclust-General
Richmond ;--at least, none was ever rev
ceived.— A private letter from somebody
in New Hampshire was read in Virginia
delegation.—and that was all the light
which the Convention had in regard to
the opinions of the nominee.
The Platform, the Evening Post says,
was voted upon in the midst of noise and
confusion, and was voted against bv a
large number, and amounts to nothing at
best. So General Pierce, in his letter of
acceptance, will give pledges to adhere
to a Platform which means nothing.
For our part, we are iiulifferent whether
lie gives pledges or not. Who is to
enforce those pledges if given ; Who will
guarantee I heir faithful execution ? If
lie had a reputation to lose, his personal
assurance might inspire some confidence.
But lie is an obscure individual—an ex
treme Northern man by birth and ed
ucation, and any pledge to support the
institution of slavery would carry with.it
an invincible distrust of its reliability.
It is true, the party that nominates him,
heralds him ns the “Northern man with
Union principles.” But the same party
supported Van Burnt as the peculiar
champion of the South. It pledged its
honour for his fidelity—and yet lie was
the candidate of” the Free-Soilcrs in’4B,
and is now the head of that party in the
North. To come nearer home ;it is the
same party which endorsed Gov. Johnson
and elected him to the Executive Cliairof
this State-a gentleman, who has brought
worse Abolition upon us than all
the Northern Abolitionists put together
have effected. He has avowed doctrines
which a large majority of the House of
Delegates declare, ‘tend lo produce insub
ordination,' —and, having in his hands
the control of all the laws of the State,
lie can render Ids doctrines effected. If
the Democrats could not be relied on in
respect to a man whom they knew, how
ran we confide in their endorsement of a
citizen of New Hampshire, of whom they
ki|tnv nothing ?
Southern rights may he sale in Gen.
Pierce’s hands; but we have yet to obtain
the first satisfactory guarantee. — Rich
mond ( Va ) Adv. *
A Narrow Escape. — On the fourth
day of the Baltimore Convention several
States, among which was Virginia .be
came tired ol voting lor the old candidates
ii ml began to cast about for anew one.
All hands agreed that whoever the OJd
Dominion said, should be the man.
That delegation discussed the mailer
nearly all night on Friday, being prellv
equally divided between Com. Stockton
and Gen. Pierre. Pierce was a little
ahead in the caucus, and so his name was
[iiesented. Stockton it will he seen, es
caped being made a candidate for the pres
idency, in which event, by this lime he
would have been swelled by dint ol hard
puffing into a perfect prodigy ; whilst
Pierce would have remained in his former
obscurity. We can’t help thinking the
Commodore escap’d narrowly I lie position
of his successful rival, and that he should
rejoice that his fair fame is not brought
in que-lion by fulsome panegyrics of
his partisans. The pudding that Pierce
is forced to swallow would choke any
other animal except a man.
Mrs. Anna Hoag, the Poughkeepsie N.
Y., mttrdress is said to he the illegitimate
daughter and only descendant of the illut
trious Robert Felton.
