sdered that he was best sustaining the Ad-
ministration by coming forward with Ian
guagc Of peace and compromise. If they
should differ on this question: they would
yet, he hoped, be able to act together on
other questions.
He rose simply. for the purpose Of re-
ieving himself from the inputation i'm
piled in the tenor Of the honorable gen
tlCman's remarks, not exactly in accord
ance with kind spirit, of being so unrea-
sonabIe as to ask him and his twenty-six
colleagues to compromise their principles
and sustain the bill.
He begged the Senator from Kentucky
not to believe that he was actuated by any
paltry considerations. He was willing to
90 with him, if he could with clear con-
science, but if they forced him to separate
from him, he checrfulIy accepted the re-
sponsibility Of voting on his own princi-
pies. His desire was to 90 with them,
with Whom lie had co-operatcd in great
political struggle, which he hoped would
yield fruits of good to the country; but he
begged that no Senator here would believe
that he was SO unreasonable as to wish his
friends to sacrifice their principles to per-
nit him to go along with them-no, not for
him, but for his country, in the name and
behalf Of the Administration Of the coun-
try, to concede without a compromise Of
principle.
Mr.. Preston expressed the hope that
the amendment would be concurred in.
After the most mature and solemn delibcr-
alton he had determined to give it his sup
port. He gave it as his opinion that the
late Administration was defeated on the
ground Of finance. On that ground the
late party had been expelled from power.
The verdict of the people had condemned
the Sub treasury.
1t was well understood that the Whig
party would look to the nstrumcntality Of
a Bank, and that they would introduce a
! Bank Of the United States. Here we
have had plan from the Secretary Of the
Treasury--a Wing Exccutiyc-and there
is difference between the Executive and
the Legislative branches. The Senator
| from Virginia had proposed the Executive
plan in jpSjssimis rcrbis.
Mr.. p. said he was unwilling to enter
into any measure which would produce an
! interruption of harmony between the Two

honorable colleague had made several PROPOSE
tons 10 which he gave his ertire concurrence.
What was the conclusion to which his honorable
colleague had arrived 1t was not only that it
was incumbent upon them to support some form
oil Bank Of the United States, but particular
form which had been put before them by the
Secretary Of the Treasury, and now ogain in the
amendment presented by his colleague.
The object Of bis rising was to show why he
was obliged, with full perception Of the mo.
tives by which his honorable colleague had been
actuated, to refuse compliance. 1t was no longer
secret in this House Or the countty--here were
two propositions lor Bank, one reported from
committee and the other presented by the Sec.
rotary Of the Treasury These two were in col.
lision. And what were the Considerations sd.
duced TO recommend to lhe.t favor the plan pro
posed by his honorable colleague.
He believed he would be justified in asking
whether there was one single gentleman on this
floor who would maintain that position. Why,
then, when they had reason to believe that a
portion Of the Cabinet had dissentcd from tina.
peculiar position, why was it now pressed upon
this body. 1t was because it was the scheme o.:
the President. He asked Of tue several gentle.
men, highly talented and learned, who had odyJ.
Gated this plan, whether the Senate had heard
any thing like IN argument from any one OF them.
No, they had head ngught bu: imp lora,ion, snd

Early Sowing of Wheat.

We do not approve, as general rule, of
sowing wheat in August There is usually too
great heat in the ground for i; TO vegetate
freely and quickly, which is essential to the
perfection Of any plant, and if the sowing is
followed by drouth, large part Of the seed
will never grow at all. The wheat plant is
one which at no period of its growth requires
or can endure high temperature, and should
the seed sown in August even sprout, the ex-
treme heat and dryness frequently experienced
in the month, will be unfavorable to the vigor-
Gus growth. Where much land Is, however,
10 be sown, it may be advisable, or even neces-
sary, to begin earlier than would be justifable
under other circumstances. We consider seed
put in by the middle of September, more cer-
tain Of succeeding than if sown by he middle
of August; later than the middle Of September,
the probability Of good crop grows constantly
weaker. Exceptions to this rule, arising from
the peculiarties of the soil, weather, &c. NAV
occur, but the experience of the best wheat
growers will confirm its general correctness.

We know not when we have rerused more
touching and beautiful little story, than the fol-
lowing from the Hartford Courant:
1t was bu, yesterday that a friend-a young
gentleman of fine intellect, of noble heart,
and one we'll known to many of our readers,
was suddenly snatched by the hand of death
from all the endearments of life. Surrounded
by every thing that could make existence pleas
ant and happy-a wife that idolized him--chil-
dren that loved him as they only can love, and
friends devoted to him--the summons came,
and he lay on the bed of death. But few
short years ago, she to whom he was welded,
placed bridal ring upon his finger, upon the
inside of which he had few words privately
engraven. The husband would never permit
the giver to read them, telling her that the day
would come when she should know the secret,
seven years glided away, and day or two since,
when conscious that he must soon leave his
wife forever, he called her TO his bedside, and
with dying accents told her the hour had at
last come when she should see the words upon
the ring she had given him. The young mother
took it frem his cold finger, and, though heart
stricken with grief eagerly read the words

Selling Stock.

The drover and butcher will now make fre-
quent calls upon you, and if you have any ex-
ira nice animals, any sleek and smooth cattle,
any lots Of fat wethers or ewes, or good lambs,
they will, with your permission, be sure TO Sc
lect these, and leave the raw-boned and hard
to keep, the small, poor, and inferior on your
hands. They are not TO blame for this, for in
doing this, they doubtless consult their own in
terest; but the farmer who allows ii, much mis-
takes his interest, as no extra price will COM
pensate the loss that is sure TO ensue where
this course is followed. Unless you have ami
mails that will be no better for keeping, and
some that you wish TO sell, you had better make
your own selections, and sell at moderate pri-
ces. You can in this way be constantly i'm
proving, instead Of running your stock down,
and it would be well for the farmer TO remem-
Der that choice animals are sure Of sale at
fair prices.

HORSE KILLED BY FLIEs.---A few days ago,
some gentlemen in Canton started in a wagon,
with their guns, on hunting exhibition. They
drove into the woods, and, having tied the
horse TO tree, proceeded on their excursion.
After an absence of two or three hours, they
returned 10 the wagon, and found the horse
dead They get farrier to examine him, who,
on opening his body, found it destitute of blood
the flies having sucked it all out of him, so as
to cause his death. His hide, externally, was
wet all over with blood. The horse was val
ued at $780, Boston Trans.

LAwYERs.---The lawyers are ill-used and
much abused body of men. You may call
them lean, lank, lying, loafing limbs of the law,
and crack your stereotyped jokes about them,
yet there is as much honour, honesty, and good
kind feeling about them, as usually falls to the
lot of us erring and wicked mortals. Take
them by and large, they makelgood citizens,
fond husbands, doating fathers, dutiful children,
effectionate brothers, loving cousins, kind un-
cles, and exemplary christians; bu, they have
one great fault, an objectionable fault---they
take pay for their professional services!

POETRY.
Re-UniOn i'm Heaven.
BY W. LEGGET.

BY W. LEGGET.
Ifyon bright stars, which gem the night,
Be each blissful dwelling sphere.
Where kindred spirits re-unite,
Whom death has torn asunder here:
How sweet it were at once to die,
And leave this blighted orb afar,
Mix'd soul and soul to cleave the sky,
And soar away from star to star.
But o, how dark, how dear, and lone,
Would seem the brightest world of bliss,
If wandering through each radiant one,
We failed to find the loved of this;
If there no more the ties shall twine,
That deaths cold hand alone could sever,
All! then these stars in mockery shine,
More hateful as they shine forever.
1t cannot be-each hope, each fear,
That lights the eye, or clouds the brow,
Proclaims there is happier sphere
Than this black world that holds US now;
There is a voice which sorrow hears,
When heaviest weighs life's CALLING chain
'Tis Heaven that whispers-Dry the tears,
The pure in heart shall meet again.

GENERAL RULES don't apply in all cases.
We once knew man who was so careful not
10 give offence. that in speaking Of general
faults, be would qualify his remarks by saying,
'present company excepted" He chanced to
be in company with some ladies, and spoke of
an absent one as the ugliest person he ever
saw, present company egcepted.
Now this mistake was perhaps worse than
that made by the boy, who, speaking of the
greatest man he ever saw, was told by his mo-
ther he must always except their minister. A
few days after, he rushed into the presence of
his mother, and exclaimed, "Mother, have
seen the greatest hog down town that ever
saw, ercept oar minister"--[ GaIena Budget.

day were about half completed. Il was well

ed the master spoke. He was low lhlck-se,
man, and his name was Lugare
"Boys," said he, 81 have had complain,
entered, that last night some of you were steal
ing fruit from Mr.. Nchols's garden | rather
think know the thief Tim Barker, step up
here sir"
The one to whom he spoke came forward
He was slight, fair looking boy of about four
teen; and his face had laughing, good humor-
ed expression, which even the charge now
preferred against him and the stern tone and
threatening look of the teacher, had not entire
ly dissipated. The countenance of the boy
however, was too unearthly fair for health; ii
had, notwithstanding its heshy, cheerful look,
a singular cast, as if some inward disease, and
that fearful one, were seated within. As the
stripling stood before that place of judgement,
that place, so often made the scene of heartless
and coarse brutality, of timid innocence con-
fused, helpless childhood outraged, and gentle
feelings crushed.-Lugare, looked on him with
a frown, which plainly told that he felt in no
very pleasant mood. Happily worthier and
more philosophical system is proving to men
that schools can be governed better than by
lashes, and tears, and sighs. We are waxing
toward that consummalion when one of the
old fashioned schoomasters, with his cowhide,

methods of child torture, will be gazed upon as
a scorned memento of an ignorant, cruel, and
exploded doctrine. May propitious gales speed
that day.
"Were you by Mr.. Nichols's garden fence
last night" said Lugare.
"Yes SIR answered the boy, 81 was"
"Wel sir, am glad 10 find you so ready
with your confession And SO you thought
you could do a little robbing, and enjoy your
self in manner you ought to be ashamed TO
own, without being punished, did you?"
81 have not been robbing," replied the boy
quickly. His face was sufused, whether with
resentment or fright it was difficult TO tell
"And didn't do any thing last night that I'm
to own"
No impudence" exclaimed the teacher,
passionately, as he grasped long and heavy
rattan "give me none of your sharp speeches,
or I'll thrash you till you beg like dog
The youngsters face paled little; his lip
quivered, but he did not speak.
"And pray sir" continued Lugare, as the
outward signs of wrath disappeared from his
features; "what were you about the garden for?
Perhaps you only received the plunder, and had
an accomplice TO do the more dangerous part
of the job?"
81 went that way because it is on my way

A HUNDRED YEARS IN PRIsoN-A late
French paper states that young man aged Is
years, in 1924, was condemned to the galleys
in France, on account Of high crime, for the
long period of one hundred years, which was
propably intended by the Judge to confne him
for life. Remarkable as it may appear, in s24,
the man being in perfect health, after an unre-
mitted series of hardshps for one entire centu-
ry, was discharged, being exactly one hundred
and eighteen years old.

Lightning Rods should not be
Painted.

All metals are good conductors of electrici-
ty. Oil is a non conductor. The electric flu
i'd, in passing along conductor is confined al
most entirely to its surface. Where that sur
face is covered with oil paint, or any non con-
Quoting substance, the passage Of the fluid is
obstructed-it accumulates upon the rod, and
is very liable to leave it and strike into the
building or TO some other object which may
present better conducting surface

AFFECTING, vERY.---The most soul-stirring
scene we have heard of lately, occurred at De-
troit. The passengers had all got aboard the
steamboat and it was about leaving the wharf,
when an old gentleman came on board crying
out, "My son, my son, must see him one mo-
ment" "Well," said the captain, "hunt him
up quick" Anon he came 10 great over
grown boy, Of Is or g years Of age, and giving
him single copper, snufflng like child, he
cried Out, "Here, my son, take this, and don't

The custom Of asking the printer whats the
news?' is most annoying, impudent, and insult
(srable. 1t is his business to deal out the news
at stated periods--not to retail it at the corner
of the streets. If grand jurors had any bowels
of compassion for the tortured and tormented
printer, they would promptly attend to the abate
