OGLE’ 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. NO 10
