But, sir, other promises were made besides
those of reform and Tetrenchment. We will ex-
anime them, and see how far they have been full
filed. We were promised a sound currency,
and plenty of it. How has that promise been
fulflledH 1t is useless for me to relate what
everybody knows; and that is, that this aministra-
ton has done nothing either TO improve the cur
rency, or to increase its quantity. So, under the
general head of falsehoods, place that to num-
ber 2.
The people were told that treasury notes wero
an unconstitutional currency, and were the Off

denounced and ridiculed as Sc Uncle SANS shin

plaster currency. The wings had not been in
power more than three months, before they au-
thorized the issue of millions of dollars in trea-
sury notes; and they have constituted vast
portion of,the national currency from that day to
this. That is general falsehood No 8.
The people were told, among the thousand
other falsehoods about the Independent treasury,
that il was dangerous executive engine, and
that il placed the purse in the hands of the Pres
idont, and gave him dangerous control Of the
national treasury; and, if they obtained possession
of the government, that dangerous executive
control should be abolished. So, one Of the
first acts of the federal coon administration was
TO repeal the independent treasury, without ma
king any provision for the safe-keepng and Sc
cure disbursement of the public revenue. The
consequence was, that the President and his sec
retary, ipsO .fact0, acquired the entire and un.
controlled possession and management of every
dollar of the public revenue, and have so enjoy
ed it from that day to this. The violation of

1t was urged that the administrations of Gene.

U'O Young Ladies'.

Young maiden, who hast merely gone boan
zing into the land of romance, and there pickec
up thy knowledge of men and the world; who
on thy entrance into society anticipates with a
fearful pleasure that the men will busy themselves
about thee, either as the butterfly about the rose
or the spider about the fly--awo to thee. Be
at rest, the world is not fearful. The men have
too much to do with themselves. Thou wilt have
10 experience that they will inquire no more at-
Ter thee than after the moon, and sometimes ever
less. Thou armest thyself thou of seventeen
years, to resist the storm of life; ah! thou will
probably come to have more to do with its mac
ton. But let not thy courage fail, there arc iie
and love in the world in richest abundance, no
often in the form Of which they for the most par
are exhibited in romancos. The romancer dis
tils life he m axes day out often yeGrs, and ou
of hundred grains of corn draws one drop o
spirit: it is in his trade The reality proceeds III
another manner. Rarely come the great events,
the powerful scenes of passion. They belong
in nevery day life, not to the rule, but to the eX
ceptions On that account, thou good creature
sit not and wait, or thou wiltsuffer tedium. Seel
not the afluence of life without thee; create j
in thy own bosom. Love, heaven, nature, wisdom
all that is good around thee, and thy life will be.
come rich, the sails of its air ship will fill with
the fresh wind, and so gradually soar mp TO the
native regions of light and love. Miss Bremen

A Reautiful ReHectiOn.

1t cannot be that earth is mans abiding place
1T cannot be that our life is cast up by the
ocean ofeternity to float a moment upon its waves
and sink into nothingness. Else why it is, thai
the high and glorious aspirations which leap like
angels from the temple of our heart, are forever
wandering about unsatisied? Why is it that the
rainbow and the cloud come over us with beauty
that is not of earth, and then pass off and leave
us to muse upon our faded loveliness. Why il
it that the stars, which hold their 'festiva around
the midnight throne,' are set above the grasp o.
our limited faculties; forever mocking us witt
their unapproachabe glory2 And, finally, why
is it that bright forms of human beauty are pre-
sented to our views and then taken from us? lea
wing the thousand streams of our affections tc
flow back in alpine torrents upon our heart? We
are born for higher destiny than that of earth
there is a realm where the rainbow never fades
where the stars will be spread out before us, like
islands that slumber on the ocean; and where
the beautiful beings which here pass before us
like shadows, will stay in our presence forever

He who first laid down the hackneyed MAXIM
that diffidence is the companion of genius knew
very little of the workings ofthe human heart.--
True, there may have been few such instances,
and it is probable that in this maxim, as in most.
the exception made the rule. But what could
ever reconcile genius to its suferings, tssacrif-
ces, its fevered inquietudes, the intense labor
which can alone procure what the shallow world
deems the giant offspring of momentary nspi-
ration; what could ever reconcile it to these but
the naughty and unquenchable consciousness OF
internal power; the hope which has the fulness
of certainty that in proportion to the toll is the re-
ward; the sanguine and impetuous anticipation
of glory, which burst the boundaries of time and
space and ranges with prophets rapture the i'm
measurable regions of immortality? Robgenius
of its confidence, of its lofty selEesteem and you
clip the wings the eagle; you domesticate, it is
true, the wanderor you could not hitherto com
prehend, in the narrow bounds ofyour household
affections; you abase and tame it more to the lev
ell of your ordinary judgmonta-lhe walled in
and petty circumference Of your little and com
mon-place moralities--but you take from it the
power to soar; the hardihood which was content
to brave the thunder cloud and built IFS eyrie on
the rock, for the proud triumph Of rising above
Its kind, and contemplating with close eye the
majesty of heaven.-BWI,Cer.

A SISTER.

endearing smile and love beaming eye, has been

but sluggishly, or if the genter emotions of his

"That man has grown up among kind and af-
fectionate sisters" once heard lady of much
observation and experience remark.
"And why do you think so2" said l.
Because Of the rich development of all the
tender and more refined feeling Of the heart
which are SO apparent in every word"
A sisters influence is folt, even in manhood's
later years; and the heart of him who has grown
cold in its chilling contact with the world, will
warm and thrill with pure enjoyment, as some in
cident awakes with him the soft tones and glad
melodies of his sisters voice. And he will turn
from purposes which warped and false philoso-
ply has reasoned into expedency, and even
weep for the gentler influences which moved him
in bis earlier years.

CEMETERY OF THE HERMITAGE.-ln retired
but lovely portion of the gardens of the Hermit
age, says the Baltimore Argus, may be seen the
family cemetery of ex-President Jackson. The
simplicity of the sepulchre is no less impressive
than the appearance of an empty tomb, close by
the side of the honored and confded partner OF
his life. That tomb now waits a tenants
waiting until the light which still warns with pa
triotic fire an aged frame, worn down with the
tolls and struggles of an ardous but glorious ca.
reer, shall have ceased to burn. The old hero's
sojourn on earth cannot be long.

more disgusting and horrible is falsehood when
viewed in a national sense, or used 10 deceive a
nation? A falselIood is a Misrepresentation of a
TACT, or things, for the purpose Of deception. A
ralsehood works two evils-a crime on the part
OF hun who attempts TO deceive, and an injury on
the part of him who is deceived If an indvid-
ual makes Misrepresentation, not knowing it to
he such, he is guilty of no falsehood in the NOR
al sense, and is guilty ofno wrong except the in
Jury 10 him who is deceived. So too, if an indi-
Tiduel relate falsehood, and it fails to deceive
the Individual intended to be deceived, either
from the improbability of the thing intended to
be deceived either from the improbability of the
Thing intended to be msrepresented or from the
known character off Misrepresentation as liar
in that case, the Misrepresentation fails of its
Ioblect, and no injury is done; but the moral tur-
Ipaude of the fllsehood is undiminished. The
failure 10 accomplish crime, does not diminish
he crime involved in the intention and effort to
Icommit it. So, too, is a falsehoud criminal in
proportion 10 the injury which lis misrepresenta-
lion may effect. lfit deceives nation, it is
criminal IN It's effects and design, in proportion to
the magnitude Of the nation and the extent of the
evil. Now, sir charge falsehood as one of the
means used by the federal party in 1910 TO over
throw the democracy, and to defeat the election
of Mr.. Van Buren,, and every democratic candi-
date that was defeated But when flsehood
is substituted for truth to effect an object, eyery
other means-however criminal, however mean,
however detestable, and however degrading--are
sure to be called in as auxilares. So it was in
the election of 1910. Ito fdlsehoOd as a means.
SANDER, daraction, perjury, bribery, ard treason
were called in; and the whole, uned constituted
a part Of the means by which the federalists we're

all its vile and unworthy associates, there were
other means used, equally degrading to the A.

The raising of the cloth must be slow and gentle, governed as much as possible to the accommodation of the bees; in ten minutes time the cloth in the centre should be about two feet from the hive, by which time probably the bees will all be in the cloth; the hammering, however, is to by continued until they have all or nearly all, left the hive, when the top cloth is to be care- fully taken of, the sheet raised from the hive by the string or hook and spread open, the bees uppermost;" directly in front of the empty hive, the bees will soon take possession of 1t; guide the queen, if she can be found, and disturb the bees gently with feather. If there be found any bees Jeff in the old hive they will soon leave the combs by blowing in; sweep them of and put the hive where the bees cannot find it.
