American Eove of Occupation.

There is probably no people on earth with
whom business constitutes pleasure, and indus
try amusement, in all equal degree with the in-
habitants of the United States of America. Ac
tive occupation is not only the principal source of
their happiness and the foundation of their ma
tionaI greatness, but they are absolutely wretch
ed without it, Business is the very soul of an
American; he pursues it not merely as means
of procuring for himself and family the neces-
sary comforts Of life, but as the fountain of all
human felicity. From the earliest hour in the
morning until late at night the streets are
thronged by men of all trades and professions,
each following his own vocation, as if he never
dreamed of cessation from labor or the possi-
bility of becoming fatigued. Neither is this
hurry of business confined TO the large cities;
it communicates itself in every village and ham,
let and extends to and peneirates the western
forests. 1t is as if all America were but one
gigantic ork-shop, over the entrance of which
there is the blazing inscription, "No entrance
ercept on business. English writer.

The Letters of RESIGNATION.

The following letters of the Secretary Of the
Treasury and the Attorney General. resigning
their respective trusts, have been placed in our
hands for publication:
WASHINGTON, September i, lS4l.
Sir: Circumstances have occurred in the
course of your administration, and chiefly in the
exercise by you of the veto power which con-
strain me TO believe that my longer continuance
in office as member of your Cabinet will be
neither agreeable 10 you, useful TO the country,
nor honorable to myself.
Do me the justice, Mr. President, 10 believe
that this conclusion has been adopted neither
capriciously, nor in any spirit Of party feeling
or personal hostility, but from sense Of duty,
which, mistaken though it may be, is yet so
sincerely entertained, that cheerfully sacrifice
TO it the advantages and distinction of office.
Be pleased therefore to accept this as my
resignation of the office of Attorney General of
The United States.
Very respectfully, yours, &c.
J. ]. CRITTENDEN.

John Quincy Adams is one of the intellectu-
al prodigies whose characters distinguish erdS
of time.
Mr.. Adams is now "a years old. But years
have made no impression upon his intellect
That is still fresh and vigorous. He is, as has
been so frequently stated, always IN his seat
always watching the course of business, and
always ready to shed light upon the question
before the House.
The Hon. Mr. Morgan, whose seat is next
to that of Mr.. Adams, has obtained for me, with
permission 10 publish in the Journal, copy of
the Poem which enclose. 1t was written in
July, 1910, under these circumstances. Gen.
Ogle informed Mr.. Adams that several young
ladies in his district had requested him TO OBJ
tain Mr.. AS Autograph for them. In accor-
dance with this request, Mr.. Adams wrote the
following beautiful Poem upon g The Wants Of
Man." each stanza upon sheet of Note Paper.
What American young lady would not set pre-
ciOus value upon such an autograph from this
illustrious Statesman-

The vrtuous TO uphold.

XIII.

The ensigns Of command;

To follow me behind;
And to be thought in future days
The friend of human kind,

XIV.
These are the wants of mortal man,
cannot want them long;
For life itself is but span
And earthly bliss song.
My last great want absorbing all
Is, when beneath the sod,
And summons 10 my final call;
The mercy of Aay God.

And oh! while circles in my veins
Of life the purple stream;
And yet fragment small remains
Of natures transient dream;

Forget not thou TO pray.

To meet the judgment dag.

The Wants of Man.

The Wants of Man.
"Man wants bat little here below,
Nor wants thai little long"
Goldmith'S Hermit
"Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long,"
IT'S not with me exactly So
But It's so in the song.
Nv wants are many, and if told
Would muster many score;
And were each wish mint Of gold,
i still should long Sor more.
II.
What first want is daily bread,
And canvass back and wine;
And all the realms of nature spread
Before me when dine
-Four courses scarcely can provide
My appetite 10 quell,
With four choice cooks from France beside,
To dress my dinner well.
JHI.
What next | want at heavy cost,
Is elegant attire;
Black saole furs for winters frost,
And silks for summers fire,
And cashmere shawls and Brussels lace
My bosoms front to deck;
And diamond rings my hands to grace;
And rubies for my neck.
".
And then want mansion fair,
A dwelling house, in style,
Four stories high, for wholesome air,
A massive marble pile:
With halls for banquets and for balls
All furnished rich and fine;
With stabbed studs in fifty stalls,
And cellars for my wine;-
v.
want garden and park
Ny dwelling to surround,
A thousand acres, (bless the mark)
With walls encompass'd round,
Where focks may range and herds may low,
And kids and ambkins play;
And flowers and fruits commingrd grow
All Eden 10 display.
VI.
i want, when summers foliage falls,
And autumn strips the trees,
A house, within the city's walls
For comfort and for ease
But here as space is somewhat scant
And acres rather rare,
MY house in Town only want
To occupy Square.
VII
/ want Steward, Butler, Cooks,
Coachman, Footman, GTooms;
A library of well bound books,
And picture garnished rooms,
CorregiOs, Magdalen and Night,
The Mairon of the chair,
Guido's feet coursers in their flight
And clandes at least pair.
VIII.
Ayi and TO stamp my form and face
Upon the solid rock,
| want, their lineamenls TO trace,
Carrara's milk white block;
And let the chisePs art sublime,
By GREENoUGH's hand display,
Through all the range of future time,
My features to The day.

And mirrors of the largest pane
From Venice must be brought;
And scandal wood and bamboo-cane
For chairs and tables bought,
On all the mantel pieces, clocks
Of thrice gilt bronze must stand,
And screens of ebony and box
Invite the strangers hand.
XIII.
want---twho does not wanl?---a wife,
Afectionate and fair;
To soace all the woes of life,
And all its joys to share.
Of temper sweet-of yielding will,
OF firm, yet placid mind;
With all my faults to love me still,
With sentiments refn'd.
XIV.
And as Times car incessant runs
And Fortune fills my store;
l want of daughters and of sons
From eight to half score.
| want, (alas! can mortal dare
Such bliss on earth to craye?)
That all the girls be chaste and fair
The boys all wise and brave.
XIV.
And when my bosom's darlings sings
With melody divine,
A pedal harp of many strings,
Must viii her voice combine.
piano, exquisitely wrought
Must open stand, apart;
That all my daughters may be taught
To win the strangers heart.
XVI.
My wife and daughters will desire
Refreshment from perfumes,
Cosmetics for the skin require
And artificial blooms.
The Civet, fragrance shall dispense
And treasur'd sweets return;
Cologne revive the tagging sense
And smoking amber burn.
XVII.
And when, at night, my weary head
Begins to droop and dose
A southern chamber holds my bed
For natures soft repose;
With blankets, counlerpane and Sheet
And comlortables for my feet,
And pillows for my crown.
XVIII.
want warm and faithful friend
To cheer the adverse hour;
Who ne'er 10 fatter will descend
Nor bend the knee 10 power.
A friend 10 chide me when I'm wrong,
My inmost soul to see;
And that my friendship proves as strong
For him, as his for me.
XIX.
want a kind and tender heart,
For others wants to feel;
A soul secure from Fortunes dart,
And bosom arm'd with steel.
To bear divine chastisement's rod
And mingling in my plan,
Submission to the will Of God
With charity TO Man.

| want keen, observing eye;
An ever listening ear;
The truth through all disguise TO spy,
And wisdom's voice to hear.
A tone to speak at virtues need
In Heavens sublimest strain;
And lips the cause of Man to plead,
And never plead in vain.
XXI.
want uninterrupted health
Throughout my long career;
And streams of never failing wealth
To scaltar far and near,
The destitute to cIoihe and feed,
Free bounty to bestows
