THE TARIFF.-We take the following
common sense view of the Protective Pol
icy from Locofoco paper, called the
"True Democrat" published in Chillicothe,
Ohio. 1t is about as consistent for a man
who entertains such views, to support Mr..
Van Buren,, as it would be for preacher
of the gospel 10 espouse and recommend
the Devils interest:
ave lay it down." says the True Demo-
crat, las a common sense rule, that an lndl-
vidual should never employ another person
to do what he can conveniently do HIMSELF
that family should never 60 abroad to
buy that which they can conveniently buy
at home; and that town and county stand
in the same relation to each other that in
dividuals do in single family. We feel
that every American citizen, native or
adopted, is near relative, constituting one
great family of relatives, mutually depend
ent every one on the other, and that, as
such, we must all fall or rise together. Now,
the simple question is, shall we prefer the
labor of these relatives, before that of
strangers! We say that it is every ones
duty first to prefer his own household;
next his own town or neighborhood; then
his State and the Union at large, AL
WAYS giving American productions the
preference before those of Foreign Coun-
tries. These are our feelings and this is
our common sense view Of the matter, and
we are free to declare it. If there are any
among US, native or adopted, who feel 9TH
erwise, let them reflect for moment what
would be their and our condition were we
to be suddenly involved in war with some
foreign power like that of Great Britain, a
thing which happened twice within the re-
collection of some of US, and may again
happen before the close of another year."

INDUSTRY, HAPPINESS AND HEALTH.

We were forcibly struck a few days
since, with remark made by an old and
affluent citizen. Speaking of his habits,
and of his constant attention to something
which occup pied bis mind. he said that he
always felt better, physically and mentally,
when employed in some useful pursuit, be-
cause in the first place he knew he was
discharging his duty as member of So
ciety and a man, and in the second, he
was prevented from INDUCING in painful
thong hts. This is sound philosophy. The
ider, whether rich or poor, young or old,
is far more apt to be annoyed by disagree.
able reflections, to feel moody and discon.
tented, TO be hurried on into temptation
and crime, than the individual who, no
matter what his condition in a pecuniary
point of view, seeks to keep both mind and
body properly employed, and thus to shu,
out feyerish desires and nervous phantas-
magoria, which idleness is certain to call
into existence. Every individual has a
part to play in the drama of life, and that
man is happiest, be he rich or poor, who
with a proper consciousness of right and
wrong, virtue and vice, keeps his mind and
body in wholesome state of exercise,
always careful TO be prompted in his move
ments by homer honesty and conscientious,

THEN, FARE THEE WELL.
BY T. MOORE.

Then. fare thee we'll my own dear love,
This world has now for us
No greater grief, no pain above
The pain Of parting thus,
Dear love!
The pain OF parting thus.
Had we but known, since first we met,
Some few short hours OF bliss,
We might, in numbering them, forget
The deep, deep pain OF this,
Dear love!
The deep, deep pain OF this.
But no, alas, we've never seen
One glimpse Of pleasures ray,
But still there came some cloud between,
And chased it all away,
Dear love!
And chased it all away,
Yet even could those sad moments last,
Far dearer TO my heart
Were hours Of grief, together past,
Than years Of mirth apart,
Dear love
Than years Of mirth apart.
Farewell our hope was born in fears,
And hurst mid vain regrets;
Like winter suns, it rose in tears,
Like them in tears it sets,
Dear love
Like them in tears it sets.
