Massachusetts.

Gov. Briggs, of Massachusetts, in his
message to the Legislature says that The
capital invested in manufactures in the
State is S42 100000, and the annual val
ne of It's fabrics produced is more than
SSO,00O,OOO, With hard and unyieIdng
soil, which g ives to the husbandman moth

Dor. her agricultural productions amount
to $4,000 900. Speaking of the debt of
the State (about SIX milIions) he SAYS
The records of our past history must he
blotted out, the monuments of our former
deeds must fall down and decay, before
any ofour authorities, or any of our citizens
shall refuse, promptly and honestly, to pay
the last dollar that we owe"

MASTER MECHANICS and MANUFACTURERS :
You ought not to be backward in this contest
You can help immensely by placing the evidence
of the justice and wisdom Of the Wing policy
within the reach Of ALL yon can do much more
by making all around you feel that the Wing as
sumption ofan identity of interest between the
employer and the laborer is a living truth One
man who does this, in his requirements, in sin
cere and active regard for the comfort and the
feelings of those who work for hun, is worth any
number who exact every thing, concede nothing
treat all around him as machines to make mo-
ney by, and at last undertake. by some indirect
coercion, to make them vote as he thinks Tor his
interest. Go about it the right way, and you
November.
MERCHANTS We appeal to Won more than
any other class, you have facilities for procuring
and disseminating Wing documents and ANNA
ting Wing efforts. You gee and talk with overy
body-you can with small expense Of time oi
money, put paper, speech or tract in every
voters hands, you will. Systematic effort on
your part is Of immense impDrtancs--do not
withhold it
WINGS ofevery calling Realize the advantage
OF early and harmonious action Organize in
every village and ncighborhood, no matter if there
be but FIVE of you, and make quiet and iudicious
preparation for the coming campaign.--Five
good men in township, thoroughly united, and
working heartily for the Cause, not for them
selves, can make difference of 20 votes-.eGYal
to 200, 900 in the Union. DO not let the 22d If
February pass without organizing Clay Club.

Religious Women.

They are the women who bless, digni-
fly. and truly adorn society. The painter,
indeed, does not make his fortune by their
sitting to him; the jeweller is neither
brought into vogue, by furnishing their
diamonds, nor undone by not being paid
for them; the prosperity of the miIliner
does not depend on aflixing their name to
cap or collar; the poet does not cele
brate them; the novelist does not dedi-
date to thcm'-but they possess the aflec-
ton of their husbands; the attachment OF
their children; the esteem of the wise and
good; and, above all, they possess His IA
yor "whom to know is life eternal"

New Jersey.

The message Of the governor of New
Jersey was delivered to the Legislature on
the 10Th inst. The debt of the state Is
put down at S99,5 66, which is due to the
Education Fund. The receipts into the
treasury were S92,2lS, of which $4,000
were from taxation, and $50. III transit

or pleasure leads them to cross the state
Thus the inhabitants of other states pay
the state expenses of New Jersey IN addl-
ton to those Of their own. The eXpen-
disures of the state were S6l,502. The
receipts of the school fund during ire last
year, were S45,63S. Il; the expenditures,

The VIRTUE OF LAUGHTER.

No man, says Carlyle, who has once
heartily and wholly laughed, can be al
together irreclaimably bad. How much
How much lies in laughter: the cypher-
key, wherewilh we decipher the whole
man Some men wear an everlasting
barren simper, in the smile Of others lies
a cold glitter as of ice the fewcst are able
to laugh, what can be called laughing, but
only sniff and litter and Singer from the
throat ouwards or at best, produce some
whiting husky exclamation, as if they
were laughing through wool, ofnone such
comes good. The man who cannot laugh
is not only TIT for treasons, stratagems and
spois; but his whole life is already a
treason and stratagem.

HE CAME TOO LATE.

He came too late! Despair had played
Its bitter, scathing part;
The waves Of bitterness had prcss'd
Too closely round the heart.
There was no gradual whitening,
No bearing with her grief;
The morn was bright, but quickly pass'd,-
The night was dark and brief
No storm, no struggle to conceal;
No vain attempt to hide;
No dream of cold and stern revenge,
Nor sense OF woman's pride.
No wish TO conquer-no conflict
Ofpasson rudely tost-
Faith, hope and love were hazarded;
All ventured, and all lost.
Renowned, forgottcn-madness swept
It's torrent DER the lain;
IT was her first grief-last agony
She never incurred again.
lie came too late A faded flower,
A tress ofsunny hair,
Were left, mementos OF the tomb,
To strengthen his despair.

That made my quick heart hutter like a bird

Yet, something whispered, ere his name lheard;

While Fancy stamps with seeming truth the

That stately form, that pale, expansive brow,
Those lips where smiles in bright succession

From whose unshadowed depths his very soul
Seemed shining through!

To meet tins modern Cicero; and, when

A more than mortal grandeur awed me then;
For, as he trod

mans mother is the representative Of his
maker Misfortune and even crimes, sci
up no barriers between her and her son.
Whilst his mother lives, he will have one
friend on earth, who will not listen when
he is sIandered-w will not desert him
when he suflers-who will solace him in
his sorrow, and speak to him of hope
when be is ready to despair. Her affection
knows no ebbrg tide. 1t flows on from
pure fountain, spreading happiness
