No men labor harder than printers-no
men are more scantily paid ia proportion
to the wear and tear of mental and physl-
cal constitution; no man in this community
we are quite certain, are called upon for
SO large an amount, in proportion TO their
means, Of gratutouS services; and we be-
iIevo that no men perform these unpaid
services with more cheerful aiacrny. The
buldness or Indifference with which some
people lay an assessment upon the news
paper proprietors would justify the. infer
encc that they supposed types and presses
to cost nothing. journeymen and apprenti-
ces to labor and live without need of food
or clothing. and paper makers TO furnish a
costly material without ever asking for
payment. We have no doubt that each Of
the proprietors of the daily papers OF this
city, give enough annually in the way of
gratullous advertising for persons and So
cieties who are able and ought to pay, and
in newspapers for which he gets neither
crcdi, or thanks TO defray the expenses Of
educating his children, even though he
might have q son or two at college. If
some rich fellow. who inherited his money
without earning it, were to give away half
as much he would be auded "sky high"
as the prince Of philanthropists, and his
name would ring along the Atlantic from
Maine TO Mexico, and be echoed rom the
Rocky mountains, as a benefactor OF his
race. A few hundred dollars given in a
lump is something to tell of; SIX pence a
time, dozen times day, is never thought
off, Boston Coz.

Signs Of the Times. Wall street, Pearl
street, and all the down town streets, pre-
sent melancholy and desoate scenes. -
They look as quiet as the sabbath day.
Now, in Fulton street, and particularly
from the great centre at the Intersection
in Nassau, radiatng in all directions, the
crowds are increasing daily. What is the
reason Of this? How is it that Wall street
formerly SO lively and crowded, has be-
come so quiet and dark!
This change in outward aspect arises
from the revolution in CONNIE cial affairs
The hey-day of stock jobbers, money-job-
bers, bank jobbers, dry good jobbers is past
and gone. These classes lived in the ex-
travagant tastes and passions Of society.
The general bubble has burst, and the live
ly, unambtious, industrious, economical,
steady trader, Of small means, is the only
one that gets along. They deal in the nee
essaries of life, on the cash system; and
are linked with the fate Of the working
farmers and mechanics.
Hence. they are doing tolerably well
alike; hence Fulton street, and all such
streets. are brisk and lively. The fash
onable hotels are dull; the fashionable
travellers arc not numerous, because the
banks cannot minister 10 their luxurious
tastes. Many families are going out OF
town, taking board at a country town for
s. per week, who used to expend $50 in
white gloves at Saratoga. or Rockaway, n
few years ago, on the initiation Of the bub-
bleS.
This is the way to get morals, religion,
and sense, all combined. Experience, ex-
perience, experience.-M Y. Paper.

A CURIOUS CASE OF BlGAMy, under
went preliminary investigation at Peters
burgh Va, on the 10Th inst. The circum-
stances as we gather them from the States
man, are these: Alexander Mail, alias
Wells, married to Miss Hastings of thar
town, in 1880; year or two after, he went
South, and did not return until last year,
being absent about nine years. In the
meantime, his wife, supposng he was
dead, intermarried with George Patram.
Wells, on his return, demanded his wife,
who was reluctantly given up. ard who
very reluctantly returned to her first hus-
band. The second husband finally bought
the wife Of the frs, husband at the price Of
one dollar, which was paid in cash. Wells
consolcd himself shortly after bv marrying
another lady in Petersburgh, ma ned Judith

MORTGAGES UPON FARMs.-It is extreme-

MORTGAGES UPON FARMs.-lt is extreme
ly humiliating-bu true as 1t is lameatn-
BILE. that near y one half Of the beautiful
estates of New England are under the with
ering incumbrance of mortgages. There
is cause Tor this state Of things-snd
what is il! The answer is to be found ia
growing extravaganza in the style and
expense OF living. Before the expensive
fashions of the present day were intro
duced, when our fathers dfessed IN linsey
wolSey, and our vIrtuous mothers adorned
their comcly bodies in homespun from
their own looms; when the sons were
taught to work, and their daughters were
not suffered TO spin street-yarn-ln those
days mortgages were little known. The
owner Of piece Of real estate would be
horror-struck at the very idea Of a mort
gage on his farm. But this age is mon
strously given 10 vain show and display.
The simplicity Of former times has sad
w given place to the extravaganza Of mo-
dern fashions. Now our boys and girls
must all be beauX and bellies None can
be admitted TO good society," who have
not gradua ed at a dancing school, who
cannot parade in superfine broadcloth, ruI'-
hes, and gold watch, seals and trinkets. -
Ships we are told, are reputcd TO be OF the
feminine gendeI, because the rigging cost
more than their bodies. The inuendo is Il
severe one upon the ladirs-we have but a
few avomen III these days-but we fear
there Is some justice 10 it. We have (ail-
en- upon extravagant. and therefore upon
evil things. That tickle Goddess, Fash
ion, will yet make US nation Of bank
rupts, so that we shall all need Congress
| to pass universal bankrupt law. Wei
would it be for US, if those who are looked
upon as patterns i'll society, would patrio-
ticalIv Withstand her power, and set us a
timely example of temperance in all things.
For ourselves we respect the man in home
spun whilst we can but view with unutte-
rable disdaln the fops and dandies whom
too many are so foolish as to initiate.

DEMOCRACY,
BY j. G. WHITTIER.


Spirit of Truth and Love, and Light
The foe of Wrong, and Hate, and Fraud!
OF all which pains the holy sight,
Or wounds the generous ear of God.
Still sacred-though thy name be breathed
BY those whose hearts thy truth defide:
And garlands plucked from thee are wreatheC
Around the naughty brows of pride.
The generous feeling, pure and warm,
Which owns the right of ALL divine
The plying heart-the helping arm
The prompt self-sacrifce-are thine.
Beneath thy broad, impartial eye,
How fade the cords of caste and birth
How equal IN their suffering, lie
The grooming multitudes of earth!
BY misery unrepelled, unawed
BY pomp or power, thou see'st A MAN
In prince, or peasant, slave, or lord
Pale priest, or swarthy artisan.
Through all disguise, from place, or name,
beneath the flaming robes of sin,
Through poverty, and squalld shame,
Thou lookest on THE MAN within.
On man, as man retaining yet,
Howe er debased, and solled, and dim,
The crown upon his forehead set,
he immortal gift of God TO him.
Thy name and watchword DER this land,
l hear III every breeze that st.rs:
And round a thousand affairs stand
Thy banded Party worshippers.
Not to these affairs of day,
At party's call, my gift | bring,
But on thy olden shrine, lay
A treeman's dearest Offering.
The voiceless utterance of his will,
His pledge to Freedom, and to Truth,
That manhood's heart, remembers still
The homage OF his generous youth

and below-the home of eternal summer,
whence her magnifcence and muni6cence
are never Withdrawn. Oh it is scene for
the poet the painter, and the pious lover of
nature, where elevated to purer and hoier
atmosphere, the soul instinctively scars
away from this dark and sad world to
that bright and golden heaven, that seems
bending down in smiles to kiss and receive
the wandering exile of sorrow and care.
The ocean is generally in sight from the
SUBMITS Of these mountains sparkling in
the soft and mellow sunlight peculiar to
this climate and season--dotted far and
wide with countless sails from every nation
that trade in these waters during the win
ter months. What magnificent object for
contemplation the ocean is--viewed from
some lofty mountain--whether slumbering
in calm, or wild and frightful in storm; how
like eternity stretching away into the in
visible and nknown-whence all things
come, and whittier all things tend; which
no additions can augment, and no subtrac-
tons diminish
And sunset, which is beautiful in the
West Indies beyond'what have seen else
where, is unspeakably glorious in the noun

proclamation for poetry and painting to
attempt description of sunset here, amidst
such a scene of sublime and glorious mag
