Tie Pledge Of BITTER Days.-A little
girl who had attended one of our primary
schools for many mouths, had no books
The teacher told her she must be supplied,
or she could not keep along with her class.
The girl was sad and day after day carried
the request home to her parents, but contln
ued to come without any books. When ask
ed why she did not bring the books, or what
her parents said about getting them, she
seemed unwilling to make any answer, or to
say anything more than 81 don't know. -
The teacher was satisfied what the difficulty
was, from the signs of poverty and neglect
which marked the child's attire aud personal
appearance Some weeks passed, when the
child entered the school room one morning
earlier than usual, and with hurried step
and joyful countenance approached her
teacher, and almost forgetting where she
was, exclaimed, "Miss C, | can have
Just as many books as want now, for fdth-
er has taken tie pledge! He says he will
get them" The child seemed oyerloyed with
the thought of having temperate father
How many mothers, wives, and children
have recently been made to rejoice through
the influence of the pledge 1t is the bow Of
hope-the sign of future good-the pledge
of conjugal, parental, and flial love- of do.

HAPPINESS OF PIcs.--The following IS
the conclusion of the learned philosophical
Report ON Swine, by William Lincoln, at
the Agricultural Fair held at Albany, a
short time since:
"Pigs are happy people. We may talk
dsparagingly about living like pig. 10
live like pig is to live like gentleman,
Although it is not permitted by the order OF
nature that, pig should laugh, or even
smile, he enjoys the next best blessing TO
humanity, the disposition too grow tat
How easily he goes through the world =
He has no fancy stock TO buy--no bank
notes to pay-no Indignation meetings to
a,tend-no log cabin assemblies to hold
He has no occasion to take the benefit OF
the bankrupt act, or to have his estate con-
hscatcd to deiray the expenses of the settle
ment. Free from all the troubles that dis
turb the busy world-he is as unconcerned
among the changes of earthly affairs, as was
the citizen who was walked in the earliest
light Of morning, by being told day was
breaking, WELL said he, as he turned again
to his repose, 'let day break, he owes me
nothing
When he looked at the comparative con-
dition of the human race and of the swinlsh
multitude, we may come to the conclusion
that if man will not be a man he had bet
ter be pig"

POE THO
CULTIVATE FLOWERS.


deem ii not an idle task,
These lovely things to rear,
That spread their arms as they would ask
II sun and dew are here;
For simple wants alone are theirs.
The pure and common too
The bounty of refreshing airs,
The gift Of liquid dew.
And they return for every ray.
A gayer smile and look;
And sreenly as the clear drops play.
The murmur Of the brook;
And thus our thoughts away they lure.
Where woods and water CLEAN.
And mountain airs are strong and pure,
And sing the bird and stream.
Frsil, grateful things! how fondly they
The nurtured leaf outspread,
And more than all my care repay;
When from his folded bed
Some pink or crimson bud appears
To thrill me with delight,
To fill my very eyes with tears,
It's beauty is 80 bright.
Nay, tits no idle thing, trust.
To foster beauty's birth,
To lift from cut the lowly dust.
One blossom of the earth
Where barrenness before had been
A verdure to disclose,
And make the desert rich in sheen,
To blossom 40 the rose.

VETO.

This bill extended the laws in operation for the
collection of the revenue, and also had inserted IN
its provisions clause repeating that part of the dis
tribution act, which prohibits any distribution when
the duties shall exceed twenty per cent This clause
was the Objectionable one The Federasts inserted
it, thinking that the President rather than defeat the
bill for extending the laws for collecting the rev.
enue, would swallow the whole dose, and thus sane
ton the distribution scheme, even at this period
when the Government was in want Of all the funds
it could command. They willing to stop the
wheels of government, and leave it without any re-
laws, if they could not carry out their nqult-
distribution scheme. For this reason they post
poned the passage of this bill until near the time
when the tariff laws EXPIRED and sent it to the Pres-
dent at this late hour, thus attempting to compel him
to sign it; whereby he would have been obliged to
renounce the pledges he nude when he signed the
distribution BILL TO the conditions expressed on its
face But they have been defeated, and let the
of John Tyler be what it may as to other
questions, for this act of his, in nterposng his Veto
TO the country from the whitening effects of a
distribution of the proceeds of the public lands, let
him be praised. He has done noble act, and let
him have the merit of it.
