Report and Resolution of Com
mittee on Iron interest—Acts
State Georgia 1851- J 52.
The Select Committee, appointed to enquire
into the Iron interests of this State, submitted tho
following Report;
It was the wish and intention of your Commit
tee to enquire into the whole subject embraced
in the resolution of their appointment. They de
sired to present to the consideration of the Sen
ate a statistical table, showing not only the quan
tity of Iron manufactured in the State, but like
wise the amount imported and consumed by our
people. But the duties imposed upon them by
many important measures connected with the
action of the present session, has made it impos
sible for them to do so. Not being willing, how
ever, to let the subject go by without action, they
determined to seek such information as might be
within their reach relating to the Iron interests of
our own State. They knew no one so well qual
ified as Major Cooper, to furnish the information
they desired. For many years he has been ac
tively and energetically employed in the iron
business. He carried into it his fortune, his in
formation, his zeal and indefatigable industry,
and has labored amidst difficulties and disasters,
with a courage and perseverence that must com
mand the admiration and awaken the sympathies
of every one who loves his State and feels for her
prosperity and independence.
They addressed Major Cooper upon the sub
■ ject, and received from him in reply the accom
panying letter, which they beg leave to present
as an appendage to their report It will be seen
by reference to this paper, that Major Cooper has
gone into the history of the Iron business in Geor
gia. The partial success of some, and overthrow
of others, who ventured to embark in its doubt
ful prosecution. That Georgia embraces within
herself all the natural material to make her one
the first Iron States in the Union, or in the
Union, or in the world, there is no doubt. That
she will develope those natural resources, and build
up for herself a solid wealth in that department,
depends much, in the opinion of your Commitee
upon the success of the pioneers in that hazard
ous enterprise. What will it matter that ore coal
and stone and clay, lie inexhaustible beds, and
that the forest abounds in the finest and most ap
propriate timber, and that the best water power
in the world comes, as if bidden to tho very spot
you would have it. If experience shows that tal
ent and energy, and zeal, and if indefatigable
and indomitable courage have labored for years
with all these advantages, and reaped nothing
but disappointmentand overthrow, who will trust
his only bark along that channel, though calm
and placid its waters seem, when all who went
before him have perished.
To prosecute the Iron business with success, re
quires large investment of capital, and the em
ployment ofnumcrous operatives. When the de
mand is good, and prices remunerative, it makes
rapidly; but when reverses come, nothing but the
strongest backing can withstand the shock, ami
one reverse tide will sweep away the labors of
years. Hence it is, that in all countries, the Iron
business has claimed and received the fostering
hand of government to sustain it. Looking to
the vast interest Georgia has in the full and pro
per development of this department of her natu
ral wealth, and not losing sight of the intricate
connection it has with the fullest success of her
great line of Railroad, your Committee would be
tempted, but for the precedents, to recommend
the adoption of some measure for the direct and
substantial aid of those who are now struggling
to luild up the Iron interest in Georgia. This,
however, they do not ask, but simply appeal to
us to give them the preference, all things being
equal, over foreign competition, so far as we, as a
State, have patronage to be bestow. Shall we
refuse this most reasonable request? Belie ing
we will not, your Committc ask the adoption of
the following:
Resolved, by the General Assembly of the State
of Georgia, That the Iron interest in Georgia
is one of much value to the State, and deserves
the habitual regard ofthe people. That the Gov
ernor be and he is hereby requested to give such
direction to the operations of the State Road in
its transportation department, as will sustain
the Iron business and the. Coal trade. That the
Superintendent of tiie Western and Atlantic
Railroad is hereby authorized to make such con
tracts for the supply of Iron for said Road, as he
may think best crlculated to advance the interest
offiie Road, and the prosperity of the State ; and
to negotiate such terms as ho may deem expedi
ent therefor.
Assented to January 25, 1852.
Instance of Pulpit Eloquence.
In the life of John Flavel, a renowned dissent
ing preacher of England, it is said “one of those
omens, which are supposed to announce future
eminence, accompanied his birth. A pair of
nightingales made their nest on the window of the
chamber of his mother, and with their delicious
X notes sang tho birth of him, whose tongue sweet
ly proclaimed the glad tidings which gave songs
ia the night.” I cannot assert that the oratori
cal distinction of John C. Burris was preceded
by any such incident, but it has seldom been my
fortune to hear a more mclifluous and sedative
speaker, in very early life, a student in Wash
ington city, 1 heard the famous .Summerfield, a
young Methodist itinerant. His face and form
were of womanly, almost of angelic beauty. A
divine lustre beamed from his eyes. His clear
-jll, sonorous voice, fell like the tones of a moun
tain bell one moment, and, anon, camo crashing
thundering down, with terrible effect on the
startled masses, forcing them to cry aloud ami
crowd together, with uplifted arws, as though for
shelter from an impending avalanche. His elo
quence shook sin from its citadels and dragged
vice and fashion from their “pride or place.”—
The sensation ho produced was tremendous.—
Multitudes followed his footsteps. As a field
preacher he towed alongside of Whitfield; but he
soon went down to the grave, consumed by his
own fire, and called to a higher sphere for some
nscrutable purpose.
It is related of Bossuet, that when ho pronoun
ced the funeral sermon of tho Princess Henrietta
and described her dying agonies, the whole audi
ence rose from their seats, with terror in every
countenance.
When Massion ascended the pulpit, on the
death of Louis XIV., he contemplated for a mo
ment tho impressive spectacle—the chapel drap
ed in black—the magnificent mansoleum raised
over the bier—the dim but vast apartment filled
with the trophies of the glory of the monarch,
and with the most illustrious persons in tho king
dom. He looked down on the gorgeous scene
beneath, then raised his arms to heaven and said,
in a solemn subdued tone, “Mes seres Dieu scut
est grand!" God only is great. With one im
pulse, ali the audience arose, turned to the altar
and reverently bowed.]
When Dr. Hussey preached at Waterford, on
the snisll number of the elect, he asked wheth
er, if the arch of Heaven were to open, and the
Bon ol Man should appear to judge his hearers
it were “quite certain that three—that two nay,
trembling for myself as well as for you, is it cer
tain that one of us,” he exclaimed in a voice of
thunder, “would be saved?" During the whole
of this apostrophe, the audience was organized.
At the ultimate interrogation, there was a gen
eral shriek, and some fell to the ground.
M. Brioaine, a French missionary, and the
peer of the most renowned orators of that elo
quent nation, preached a sermon at Bagnole.
At the end of it he lifted up his arms and thrice
cried in a loud voice, O Eternity At the third
repetition of this awful cry, tho whole party fel
on their knees. Dur.ng three days, consterma
tion pervaded tho town - In the publie' places,
Voting and old were heard crying aloud. Mrrcu ■
Oh Lord, Mercy
The Harvest.—As regards the harves
throughout Great Britain a letter dated at
London on the 17th ultimo says that in
every thing it {continues to promise well
During the previous week the weather has
been unusually stormy, but the rain was
greatly wanted, and if the next five weeks
should prove tolerably fine the yield of
grain, both in quality and quantity, was
likely to prove excellent. The good re
ports from thi# side had also increased
the favorable feeling; but one of the must
important circumstances this year connec
ted with the propable supply of food con
sists in the intelligence that for the first
time in eight years there is reason to be
lieve that the potatoe crop in Ireland and
elsewhere will be free from blight.

Yellow Fever in Norfolk.
AH the precaution and care of the authorities
of Norfolk and Portsmouth have not, we regret
to learn, been sufficient to prevent the spread
ofthe yellow, fever, which recently broke out at
Gosport, into those towns. In regard to Ports
mouth our reports are not full nor connected.
From the statement of of the Sanitary Com
mittee, however, it appears that on Sunday
there were ten new cases and three deaths.—
The same committee express the opinion that
all caube traced clearly to Gosport.
This dreadful scourge appears to have made
its first appearance in Norfolk city on Sunday,
and up to noon of Monday, the date of our last
dispatch, there had been seventeen cases and
two deaths. It was still hoped, however, that
means would yet be found to stay it before if
became an epidemic.
In Gosport, where the fever first broke out,
it was at the accounts, on the increase. Dur
ing the 24 horn’s ending Friday night there were
twelve new cases and five deaths. There are
some twenty cases under treatment, most of
whom are our adopted Irish citizens.
The outbreak of the yellow fever in these
towns on the Virginia coast is a striking verifi
cation ofthe theory to which many adhere, that
this fearful plague proceeding from the south to
the north, is by some mysterious law, destined
to visit all the towms of the Atlantic region,
before it shall have spent its energies.— San.
Gear.
A Peculiar Case.—A finder of money or
other valuable property should always take
prompt measures by advertising or otherwise to
to make restoration to the owner. In Rochester
New York a few days since a dishonest man by
the name of Thomas Hall who neglected this duty
was convicted of grand larcerny and sentenced
to two years hard labor in the State Prison
He had found a package of §1 ,600 and carried
it to his boarding’ house. During his temporary
absence a woman discovered the package anil
took from it a small portion of money. Hall
subsequently carried the remainder to his brother
and asked him what it would be best for him to
do in relation to it. His brother consulted the
honest course, but before Hall could adopt it
he was arrested and held to answer tor larceny.
Upon the trial it was not shown that he had
appropriated a dollar of the amount to his own
use, but as he had neglected to take the proper
steps to find an owner, he was obliged to sutler
the consequences.
Know.Xotliinglsin In Its Nakedness;
OR A NEW WAV TO PROTECT CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY.
The second article of the Constitution of the
National Council of North America as pub
lished in the Richmond Enquirer, the Charles
ton Mercury and the New Orleans Delta, reads
thus:
“ The object, of this organization shall be to
protect every American citizen in the legal and
proper exercise of all his civil and religions
rights and privileges; to resist the insidious
policy of the Church of Rome, and all other for
eign influence, against our republican institu
tions, in all lawful ways ; to place in all offices
of honor, trust or profit in the gift of the people,
or by appointment, none but native born Prot
estant citizens; and to protest and uphold the
union of these States and the Constitution of
the same.”
It will be seen in article four of the Consti
tution for the giving of the first, second and
third degree, that after the candidate for admis
sion is duly prepared outside by an oath that he
is not a Catholic, or if a Protestant, that he is
not married to a Catholic wife, &c., he is then
taken inside and made to swear a solemn oath,
amounting in substance to the following:
KNOW-NOTHING OATH PUT IN PLAIN ENGLISH.
1. I solemnly swear that I will never vote
either for a Catholic, or a man whose wife is a
Catholic, or for any naturalized citizen, for any
office, either Municipal, State or Federal.
2. I also solemnly swear, that I will never, if
T ever have the dispensing of official patronage,
give an office to any Catholic, or person whose
wife' is a Catholic, or to any naturalized citizen.
3. And I also swear, that if ever I am an.
officer of the City, State or Federal govern
ment, and find in any office under my control,
any naturalized citizen, or any Catholic, or any
person whose wife is a Catholic, that I will
turn such person out of office.
“And I also swear that i will never vote for
any man for any office within the gift of the
people who is not a native-born American citi
zen, in favor of Protestant Americans riding
America,” &c.
The Grave of Franklin.
Great and widespread as is the fame of the
“Printer Philosopher,” and proud as the peopl<|of
Philadelphia are of their illustrious townsman, we
doubt much if one in a hundred*of the present
generation of Philadelphians have ever seen his
tomb. Thousands pass daily within a few feet
of the spot where his ashes and those of his wife
repose, without being conscious of tho fact, or, if
aware ot it, unable to obtain a glimpcs of the
grave. Tho bones of the lightning tamar lie
within a very short distance of Arch street, in
the northwest corner of Christ Church grave-yard
at Filth and Arch streets As is generally known
the spot is marked by a slab of marble, which is
almost level with the earth, and which bears the
simple inscription;
“Benjamin and Deborah F ankl! n.”
If the wall at this point was removed, and a
neat iron railing was erected, in its stead, every
passer-by would be afforded the gratification of
seeing the grave, a gratification now very difficult
to obtain.
In a Philadelphia newspaper, published in De
cember, 1774, we find the following notice ofthe
death of Mrs. Franklin:
On Monday, the 19th inst., died at an advan
ced age, Mrs. Deborah Franklin, wife of Dr.
Benjamin Franklin; and on the Thursday follow
ing her remains were interred in tho Christ
Church Burying Ground.
The announcement ofthe duath and burial cf
Mrs. Franklin was as simple and unostentatious
as the slab and its pithy inscription, which marks
her final resting place.— Phil, Bulletin.
A Safe Investment.—A Hartford (Ct.) paper
tells a story ol an American who deposited SIOO
in the hands of an Englishman, fi r which he was
to receive $25 per month until Sebastopol was
taken. This was the Ist of November list, and
the American has received his $25 per month
ever since that time. One hundred dollars could
hardly have been invested better.
Strange Accident.—As the first train from
Saxonville was coming to the city yesterday mor
ning, on the Boston and Worcester Railroad,
when near Cambridge crossing, the open door of
a baggage car on a side track was caught by the
forward part ot the last passenger car, ripped otf
and thrown violently into the window of the
passenger car. It narrow ly missed one of the
head of one passenger, and struck Mr. Samuel
Shism, of the Frankling Printing House, of tnis
city, on the arm, which it bruised anti mad man

but no bone was broken. He was attended by
Boston physicians, and afterwards carried to his
homo at Newton Corner.
Another of Washington’s Slaves Discoven

that a former slave of Gen. Washington, named
Richard Stamp, or Stanhope, li. es at the old age
of 108 years. He has in his possession the orig
inal papers giving him his freedom, in Gen.
Washington's own handwriting, for which he
has refused quite a sum of money. He had
rather part with his farm than his papers. He
owns about one hundred acres some ten miles
north of the village of Urbana, bought with money
given him by his illustrious master. He is now
living with tho sixth wife, and to all appearaueo,
enjoying life as well as the youngest-

A Geographical Line.
When the line of 36 30 was established in
1820, the illustrious Jefferson, who deprecated
the policy of it, tuus wrote of the slavery ques
tion :
“It is hushed for the moment. But this is a
reprieve only and not a final sentence. A geo
graphical line, coninciding with a marked prin
ciple, moral and political, once conceived and
held up to the angry passions of men can never
be obliterated, and every new irritation will
mark it deeper and deeper.”
These words were penned April 22, 1820. —
How profound was his reasoning 1 How pro
phetic were these pregnant words! Every hour
time is verifying their truth.
As a fit commentary on these words we copy
the. following history from a communication in
the New York Journal of Commerce :
“For the first time in the history of the coun
try, its peace was seriously disturbed in 1820.
Under the administration of President Jefferson,
and contrary to his own views of its constitu
tionality, Louisiana was acquired in 1803. A
majority ofthe states did not however regard
the act as usurpation, and the treaty with France
was ratified upon the plea of ‘state necessity.’
Louisiana became the property of the United
States, and in the course of time, a part of that
territory having the constitutional requirements
as to population, &c., asked of congress admis
sion into the Union as a State, upon terms of
equality. Slavery existed in nearly all the
states in 1787. It was in Louisiana when pur
chased, and by the constitution it is recognized
and protected as an institution in our body pol
itic. Congress was not supposed to be its spe
cial guardian, or as having any authority to ex
tend or contract its limits. The people were
presumed to be is legitimate custodians, and to
them should the question be always left as to
its existence in the territories or states. But
the congress of 1820 and '2l, being wise above
the written law, assumed a power and a right
not its own, and when Missouri with her con
stitution, satisfactory to her people, and repub
lican in its form, prayed admission into the bond
of the Union as a co-equal state, that congres
became the arena of a fierce and bitter contest,
upon the question of her reception as a slave
state. She was however admitted with slavery;
but a restriction was laid upon the territory
north of 36.30, and a line drawn upon that par
allel of latitude, beyond which slavery was not
to go. From that moment, peace departed
from the halls of Congress, and sectional dis
cord has continued to yield its poisonous and
bitter fruit. The sins of the fathers are now
visited upon the children. Geographical lines,
and local discrimination, dark forebodings and
significant threats, with a hostile people and
civil war, are in the full tide of what is likely
to be a successful experiment. The ship of
state is fast drifting upon the rocks and shoals
of fanaticism north, and secession south. Anx
ously we gaze into the future, and hopefully
we pray that the danger may be averted.”
Thus far a true Americanism has proved
equal to every occasion when the laws, the con
stitution and the Union required to be protects
ed; and this warrants the belief, that the trea
sonable designs of abolitionism will not be suc
cessful ; but that a patriotic crew will rescue
the ship of state from the rocks and shoals that
are ahead.

torical scrap you’ll do an act of justice to a
much calumniated people and conifer a favor
on
A Citizen of Foreign Birth.
6th August, 1855.
Who were the "sons of the sires ?” Let the
following scrap of history, taken at an exami
nation of Mr. Galloway, before Parliament, in
reference to this very subject answer, It will
do it more faithfully than any which can come
from the Know Nothing councils.
(luostion— That part of the rebel army that
enlisted in the service of the Congress, were
they chiefly composed of the natives of Ameri
ca, or were the greater part of them English,
Dutch, and Irish?
Answer— The names and places of their na
tivity being taken down I can answer the ques
tion with precision. There was scarcely one
fourth natives of America; about one half
Irish; the other fourth were English and
Scotch.
This “scrap” may be unpalatable to the se
cret order, but truth will vindicate herself.—
All who have read the history of the war of in
dependence, and of the Pennsylvania line in
particular, will have seen that there were, only
17,000 Irish in that famous line through the
war, What would that proportion give at the
present day ? Figure it up ye true Americans.

A correspondent of the London
News says the English headquarters, lately
occupied by Lotd Raglan. is the dirtiest
place that he ever saw, except the French
camp and Turkish towns. He adds:
“I rode in there to post a letter the day
after Lord Raglan’s death, and I know not
what it may be for those who were accus
tomed to it; but coming, as I did, from
the fresh pure air of Baldar, I was obliged
to compress my smelling organ while rid
ing round the house, to avoid the perfume
—first, of innumerable heaps of nondes
cript nastiness, such as old bones, old
clothes, kitchen refuse; secondly, of num
erous sheepskins, which lay in small piles

able, and considering the smallness of the :

say that not only need poor Lord Raglan’s I

is that one of his staff has survived to i

The Catestrophe to the Steamer
General McDonald.
The Philadelphia papers publish extended de
tails of the collision on the Dele ware on Saturday
night of the steamer General McDonald and the
schooner A. G Pease. The Ledger .ays:—
The steamer General McDonald had been char
tered by Mr. Jarrett, of Baltimore, and she was
advertised to leave Dock street wharf at eight
o’clock, and stop at New Castle, to take on board
■the excursionists from Baltimore and Washing
ton. When the boat left her wharf there were
more than one hundred passengers on board ;
the night was very dark and raining heavily, con- ’
sequently the pilot was compelled to use grrnt
caution in treading his way down the Delaware
for fear of coming in conteet with other vessels.
When a short distance above the Lazaretto, white
those on board were enjoying themselves an 4
dilating upon the pleasures of a dip in old ocean,
on their arrival at the Island, the pilot of the Mc-
Donald discovered a schooner close upon the bow I
of the steamer, with head up stream. A sharp j
and quick turn of the wheel acused the McDonald [
to sneer a little bat not sufficient to escape the)
threatening danger for the next moment a loud’,
crash was heard, intermingled with screams and ,
loud exclamations from those on board the stea
mer and the schooner which caused the most in-|
tense excitement and fright among the passen-)
sengers. In a moment it was discovered that the j
bowspirt of the schooner had entered the side of;
the steamer, in front of thfe wheel-house, about'
30 feet from her bow, on the larboard side, and '
sweeping oil the barber shop, injuring the wheel
house, guards, stauncheons and timbers, while!
the schooner continued to ride safely, save the i
loss of her bowspirit, and some few other injuries.
The steamer was forced from her course, and
made to careen over nearly to her guards by the
force of the collision, but fortunately for the
living freight on board, her hull was uninjur
ed
But the saddest portion of the story remains to
be told, and that is tile loss of life, though to
what extent we arc not yet able to tell, as there !
was no register of the names of passengers on board i
and the passengers themselves being strangers to ■
each other, could not tell, except in two cases, who ■
were misssing. Some of those on board say i
that, when the room used as a barber shop was '
broken and carried overboard, there were ten or!
fifteen parsons precipitated into the river with .
it, while others say there were but four inside, at
the time of the accident. Be that as it may, there j
seems to be no doubt as to the drowning of Mr.
Douglass, one of the agents of Canning’s Cape
May Express, and of the Baltimore Railroad
Company, and a colored boy belonging to the
boat. Among those swept overboard was Mr.
Walters, editor of the Delaware county Republi
can; who was fortunately rescued by Capt. Spen
cer, of the schooner “Maria L. Hill” of Portland
though much bruised. Mr. Coverdale, agent of
the Express Despatch, at Beverly, was much,
bruised.
The steamer McDonald, after the accident,
was anchored in the stream, and the agent, Mr.
Cohen, landed at Chester, and informed Mr.
Huddell, who obtained a car, came to Philadel
phia, and procured the services of the steamer
Sun, which vessel left her wharf about 1 o’clock
yesterday morning, returning, about four,
A. M, Ninety-eight of the passengers were
brought up by the Sun and safely landed. At 7
o’clock, the Sun returned to the scene of the
accident, and towed the McDonald to Wilming
ton for repairs.
The captain of the schooner A. G. Pease in
formed us that his vessel was anchored in the
stream with the usual light displayed, and at the
time of the accident himself and some of toe
crew were sitting on the deck of his vessel. They
observed the steamboat coming down the river,
but bad no idea of a collision until a very brief
period before it occured. The jibboom, bowspirt
catheads and cut-water of the schooner were
carried away, and the plank shear cutin. These
are about the only injuries sustained by this ves
sel.
Mr. Coverdale, of Beverly, was injured, it is
supposed, internally, as he was spitting blood ali
the way up to the city. He thinks there must
have been at least twenty persons in the. barber
shop at the time of the accident and that he and
Mr. Walters were the only ones saved.
At the time of the collision the McDonald ca
reened over, and the chain box broke loose from
its fastenings, and was launched into the Dele
ware on the opposite side of the boat.
Mr. Huddle returned yesterday afternoon from
the scene of disaster, and from him we learn that
Mr. Mark Warne, a brother-in-law of Mr. Wal
ters, is missing, and supposed to be drowned,—
Also, a man named Ramsby or Ramsy, who lived ■
in South Street. Mr. Winslow, Mr. Walters,;
and his brother in law, had been in the barber '
shop but a few minutes before they were hurled i
with great force into the water Mr.
bad his left arm injured, and one of his fingers ;
cut off, the piece hanging only by the skin; he
replaced the parts and bound it up. Late yester-;
day afternoon the body of a man floated into ■
Chester, upon a piece of timber, or rather the |
timber kept him up in consequence ofthe end of!
it having been forced into him. The timber,:
struck him on the pocket book, which was forced j
into his abdomen. It was taken out, and inside I
I of it was found some money, and an enveloed 1
i directed to George, or John G. Eshlemere, Esq., j
Lancaster city, Lancaster co., Pa., on the back ;
in pencil mark, was the word Monday, and some
other memorandum, which was almost obliterated
by blood.
Mr. Huddell says that three vessels were an
chored near the scene of disaster and that the pi
lot, in attempting to get by two of them, ran into
the A. G. Pease.
A ‘Strange’ Preacher.
His name was Strange. Many will think his
conduct was also. He was a zealous preacher and
a sweet singer. Nothing gave him so muehjpleas
ure as to go strange alrout the country preaching
and singing. A lienevolent gentleman, well off
in worldly gear, desiring to make him and his
family comfortable in their declining years, gen
erously presented him a title-deed tor three hun
dred and twenty acres of land. Strange accept
ed the donation with thankfulness, and went his
way, preaching and singing as he went. But af
ter a tew months he returned and requested his
generous friend to take back the title-deed.—
Surprized at the request, the gentleman inquir
ed,
‘ls there any flaw in it?’
‘Not the slightest.
‘ls not the land good?'
‘First-rate.’
‘lsn’t it healthy?’
•None more so.’
•Why then do you wish tne to take it back ?
It will be a comfortable home for you when you I
grow old, and somthing for your wife and child-'
ren if you should be taken away ’
‘Why, I’ll tell you. Ever since I’ve had that |
deed I’ve lost my enjoyment in singing. I can't I
sing mylfavorite hymn with a good conscience ,
any longer.”
•What is that?’ ;
This—
“ ‘No foot of land do I possess,
No cottage in the wilderness,
A poor wayfaring man.
II dwell awhile in tents below,
Or gladly wander to and fro,
’Till I my Canaan gain.
Yonder's my house and portion lair,
My’ treasure and my heart are there.
And my abiding home:’”
i ‘There?’ said Strange, ‘l’d rather sing that
hymn than own America. I’ll trust the Lord
to take care of my wife and children.’
He continued singing and preaching, and
preaching and singing, and the Lord, said the
lecturer, did take care of him and his children
after him.
The True Grit. —A young man of this
county recently made proposals of marriage
to one of our farmer’s daughters whose
father was an Englishman. She inquired
whether he was or was not a Know-Nothing.
At first he equivocated, but acknowledged
he was. Upon this the lady informed him
that she could neither love nor marry a
man who would politically degrade her
father and brothers. He acknowledged
his error and has withdrawn from the
Hindoos, and no doubt feels that he is a
better man, andintendsto do betterfor the)
future. The woman that does not love '
her father would not be suitable fora wife,;
and the man that does not respect his I
->tbcr-in-law will surely make a mean

THE WATCHMAN.
The wintry wind blows chill n n d dtv.a, ,
And fast the snow is falling—
Not one pale star shines forth to cheer
The Watchman’s weary calling.
Still paces he hid lonely beat.
Now up now down the gloomy street,
With stiffening limbs and aching feet.
His night song hoarse bawling—
“ What of the night! Ho! Watchman tell!’
“Past ten o’clock, and ail is well
Fast locked in slumber, housed and warm.
The weary world is dreaming
Os him, who patient braves tiic storm
Without, but little deeming
Still through the dark and dreary night
The Watchman tramps till morning light, j
Dispels the gloom, and warm a bright
The glorious sun is beaming;
“What of the night! Ho! Watchman tell !’ I
"Past midnight—and still all is well!”
At length the Watchman’s toils are o’er,
The day is slowly breaking;
Homeward with tried steps once more
His paUi he’s gladly talking.
No more with sore and weary feet.
Now up now down the silent street,
The Watchman trainp« his lonely bent,
Night’s dreamy echo’s waking.
As answering to the steeple bell.
He calls the Lour, and chants ‘iAll’s well!”

My Own Mother.
RY J. E. RANKIN.
' My own mother is growing old,
i The snow-flakes deck her hair;
And in her brow full many a fold
Lies doubled up by care.
I The lustre's left my mother's eye,
That light of life’s first day:
And stealthy years, I’m loth to spy.
; Each one. purloin a ray.
{ Oh ! not so brisk as once it was.
Her footfall on the floor!
And ’mid her toil there’s many a pause,
She could not brook before.
That sadnecss in my mother’s mien
Aforctimr was not there;
Forsore, so e years, her heart hath seen
God keptherfrom despair.
Yet, sweet to me that brow of her’s.
And sweet that sprinkled hair!
The freest breath of air that stirs.
Sweeps Dot a f »re more fair.
• Though gentler hands Mhuuld cling to Die,
.And later love be mine.
; This heart's young gilt shall ever be,
My mother, only thine !
I And may life's winter kind and calm.
Yield many tranquil years;
• And faith discover healing balm
For human doubts and fears.
God grant thee, mother, all the prayers
That struggle in thy heart ;
And in that home which Christ prepares,
May all our name have a part ’

What lie is willing to Sustain.
Blind zeal and impotent rashness assume,
I with some men, the inveteracy and viru
■ lence of a chronic disease. The editor of
i the New York Courier, as often as he has
I made the attempt, has failed to change
his constitutional malady with Lis coat. Af
ter making a clumsey leap from the ranks
of the old-line wings into the embraces of
abolitionism, the belligerent gentleman
exclaims:
I “We would rather a thousand times vote
| for Garrison and Tappan as President and
i Vice President than tamely submit for an
I hour to the humiliation which the South
i has put upon us by the repeal of the
; ‘Missouri Compromise.’ ”
1 Garrison and Tappan say:
“No Union with slaveholders. The
United States constitution is a covenant
; with death and an agreement with hell.”

; claims itself willing to sustain!—Wash.

MOST IMPORTANT TO THE LADIES
, Dr. Geissner’s celebrated Menstrual Pills have
! been long and widely known us invariably cer
. tain in removing my stoppage, irregularity, or
I suppression, of the menses.
In the Female Hospitals in Vienna, Paris,
and Berlin, they have entirely superseded the use
of all other remedies; beciuse, where a cure is
attainable by medicinal agencies, they are cer
tain of success. Their efliacy would be almost
incredible, if not vouched for by indubitable tes
timony, in numerous instances producing returns
of the monthly period alter ali hope had been
abandoned.
In every case from whatever cause the obstruc
tion may arise, as also to prevent pregnancy
where the health will not admit of increase of
family, they are always efficient; for which
reason they must not be used during pregnancy,
though always mild, healthy, safe and certain in
their efleets.
