Congress.

Congress at length adjourned on the 3lst nit,
after session Of nine months, six Of which were
spent in vain attempts to "head Captain Tyler
and three in passing obnoxious aws for the peo-
pie A great number of bills were passed during
the last two days Of the session, but nearly al OF
them were of a private nature. The president
sent to the house, on the 30th, protest against
Mr.. Adams repor. on the veto. 1t is well writ

done the representative Of the whole people a, The
head of the government by fraction, represent

demning him without trial or hearing, and with

ton. The two houses adjourned at about two
o'clock P. N. on the 3lst having been little favored
during the day with the presence of quorum.

Pork.--The last Sangomo journal, speaking of
the probable demand there will be for this article
the coming season, says, at is believed that the
manufacture of lard into oil-which will be carried
to great extent-will have tendency TO raise
the price Of pork. A large portion Of the hogican
be worked up into lard, and lard row, in CIncin-
natl and other western markets, is worth 81 to 3
cents per pound. We speak what we are conf
dent of, when we say that the discovery OF the
process ofconverting lard into oil, which answers
all the purposes of sperm oil, and into candles,
which are equal to sperm-bo,h of which articles
can be furnished so per cent. cheaper than sperm,
must ultimately be cause of wealth to the far
mers of Illinois; and we fully assent to the re-
commentator of the Louisville "Farmer," that
our farmers should lose no time in supplying
themselves with the Berkshire stock, as being the
best for the new market which must be created
for hogs"

other silly remarks we take the above paragraph,
as a sample. Not caring one straw about the
Registers opinion of our Democracy, we will
merely prove him liar in order to show his de-
praviry.
Now, to prove the Register willful LIAR, we
say that the charge Of our having "hereioGUr

defy the Register to an investigation. In order

only Sirtsen Lies.--Amos Kendall, in his last
'Expositor," has exposed just sixteen unblushing
fasehoods in the report Of the majority of the COM
mttee on the veto. This document was written
by that conscientious old Christian John Quincy
Adams and may be given as a sample of the ex-
,remes to which in inordinate political zeal may
carry the best of men. The report is violent
and undignifed document-unworthy the pen of
the venerable cx-president, and sounds to US ex-
tremely Botis-ish and the fact that Mr.. Bolts
was second on the committee that drew it up,
leaves room for the suspicion that he had consi-
derablc share in its paternity.

Travelling across the arabian Desvt.-A COM
pany has been formed in England for carrying
persons across the deserts of Egypt and Arabia in
omnbuses, and the coaches are being made in
England and some in the Uui,ed States. Each
carriage is to be in the form of a small omnibus,
to carry four inside aud two outside. They will
be of very light construction, for the pu pose Of
passing easy over the sandy soil of the desert.
Each carriage will be drawn by two Arab horses,
that will run sever-mile stages. Forty carriages
were to be ready by the first of September inst.

Cd, and on Tuesday about 30 men, together with
teams, &c, proceeded to the spot from this place,

foot of water. Another foot it is thought might

ErerciSe.--Thc best possible exercise, says JEFF
ferson, is walking. Habituate yourself to walk
very far. We value ourselves on having subdued
the horse to our use; but doubt whether we
have not lost more than we have gained by it.
No one thing has occasioned SO much degeneracy
of the human body. An Indian goes OH foot
nearly as far in day as an enieebled white does on
his horse, and he will tire the best horse. A little
walk of half an hour in the morning when you
first rise, is advisable it shakes off sleep, and pro-
duces other good effects in the animal economy.

Swimming Here is simple rule which will
save life in all ordinary cases-and for want of
knowledge of which very expert swimmers are
sometimes drawned:
"Clasp your hands behind your back, make
your nose the highest point of your body. FOR

stir muscle, and you will infallibly swim"
An attack Of the cramp can hardly prevent
your assuming this position, and if you do SO.
YOU may safely remain so till the contracted mus

THE OLD ApPLE-TREE.
mr. cuAs. II. LEWIS.


The old apple-tree, where in childhood played
Round the chair Of my grandsire,ilat sat in its
shade;
Oh, the loved ones that once sat beneath it are
gone,
And the old apple-tree is deserted and lone.
But dear to my heart is the old apple-tree,
Its blossoms still nourish the murmuring bee,
The red-breast still rusles its branches among
And the lark from its top pouls his orisOn song
The grass is still green on the turf underneath,
The sweet-brier dlstis there it, odorous breath,
The rose and the eglantine still are rs far
And as sweet as in childhoods best season they
were.
Oh, long may that tree in It's verdure be seen,
And long may the turf underneath 1t be green,
The birds there sing sweety, and flowers blossom
fair,
For the loved ones of childhood are slumbering
there!
