HEARTACHE.-Famlue il causing terrible
distress in Hungary. In Perth, children
have been sold by their parents for small
sums. The entreaties and tears Of the lit
tie ones were vainly addressed to ears made
c~allous by distress or perhaPs-by the feeling
that they might suffer less any where than
at home. But they have not always even
asceFtained the name of the buyer. One
child clnng to his fathers feet promising
never again IT, ask for bread ii he might but
stay at home. His pleadIngs were in vain
he was sent with the str4nger.

" Nonsense, now, said the Quaker; if thou

There is no doubt of the literal truth of
this story, as we received it some time since
from the lips of the Quaker himself.

SOUND SENSE

The Voice of Freedom heretofore poTit
zeal abolition paper published at Brandon,
(Vt )has distinctly and mdniuly reuounced
third par'yism. The editor, Mr. Holcomb,
says he has become fully satisfied that he
can do more for the slaves release without
political action than with it, He says:
Being more nearly allied in views of Nn-
iional policy TO the Hhies than the Demo-
| crdts, intend entering their Camp with my
antislayery Medicine Chest, ready 10 deal

shall aim not TO support candidates for State
County or Town elections who will not be
ready TO do iii The Legislature. all that asfrici-
ly Liberty Party man could do for the slave,
were he elected in their stead'
-. This is rational view the matter which
is entertained by The Wings generally,
and we see no reason why every Wing third
party man should not now act with MIR. HUI
comb. But we can see why locofocos, pre-
tending to be abolilioniSts- and going Tor an
nexation by voting for Mr. Dillingham;
should cry out for third paTiyism, and that is,
merely TO destroy the Wings anal eventually
build up Pokism and thereby bind more
strongly the letters ofthe poor Slave.
We believe many Wings who acted with
The third party last year feel disappointed
in the consequences of'the action OF that party,
and that they were deceived by some who
pretended for liberty. So it seems Mr.. Hol
comb feels and has The honesty 10 abandon

STANZAS.
Deep in the city's noisy heart
A sacred spot there lies;
Amid the tumult yet apart,
And shut from worldly eyes.
There just beyond the chapel shade,
Hid in a clovered mound,
Enough of innocence is laid
To sanctLy the ground.
Born as the violels are, in Nay,
With song of birds she came,
And when she sighed her soul away
The season was the same.
1t seemed in Heaven benignly meant
To give this virgin birth,
When all things beautiful are sent
To bless the buddingearlh.
But if her birth beftted then
The spring-time and the bloom,
Why, when that gladnesS came again,
Why went she to the tomb2
o! let not impious Grief accuse
Kind Nature of wrong;
Her form in flowers and fragrant dews
Shall be exhaled ere long.
Her beauty vas akin IL them;
Their elements combined
To shape the young consummate stem
Whose blossom was her mind.
And now the blossom is with God;
Soon shall The sun and showers
Wake from the slumber of the sod
All that was ever ours.
No weary Winters frozen sleep,
Under the torpid SHOWS,
Her undecaying frame can keep
In the clay'S cold repose:
For all her mortal part shall melt,
In other forms 10 rise,
Before her spirit shall have dwelt
One summer in the skies.

The COUNTRY AND TIE ADMINIsTRATIoN.-
Occasionally we here the Loco press tanta-
liZingly exclaim. What has become olaIl the
predictions of ruin TO The country which the
Wings prophesied would belal her if Mr.
Polk was elecicd?' To this ready answer
can be given. The great " hig measure
The tariff Of 1S42-is still in operation, dii-
lusing health and ir.parting energy TO the
Government. The balance Of trade, iiroUah
lis influence. is kept in our favor, and, in
stead of heing the debtor 10 England aud
British interests, We are largely her creditor.
Instead OF having an empty treasury.we Lave,
through the Tariff, treasury containing
eight millions five hundred thousand dollars;
so that, as iaras this measure Of policy Is Goa
cerned, the Government is conducted on
Wing principles.
Again, we are saved from the disastrous
consequences incident 10 n Subreasury thro'
the repeal OF il by the Wing Congress of IS
AZ, and the Locos had not the courage TO re-
adopt it in the last Congress; and thus the
country is freed from this condemned and
worn out measure oil Loco FocO policy.
The reason then is obvious why Wing
predictions were not fully verified. 1t is be-
cause the Loco Focos were afraid TO carry on,
their principles, and are conducting The
Government with an eye to The wholesome
and salutary creed ofhe UAigs-the Tariff
orlS42, and no Subireasury.-Ha.FreeP Press.

TEMPER ANCE

Truly the friends of this noble cause witness a
crisis The time has come when we cannot pro-
mote this cause by the launching of wondrous nov
elites, by the rallying of immense assemblies, by
impassioned appeals to sympathy, and strong I'M
pulse and periodic spasms-much less by that bee
tie swinging, sedge hammer denunciation and
wholesale abuse, which some have been led to in
duge in when crossed in their personal conyen-
fence, and goadod by formidable opposition. Nor
can we depend much on occasional forays the eff
forts of transient lecturers and the preparation of
condiments. We must henceforh take up the
Temperance subject in detai make it an every
day business. We must carry it home, in every
school district and wholesome association OF men,
with candor kindness, fidelity, patience and perso-
verance, TO the understanding conscience and in
terest Of every individual in the community, who
does not absolutely refuse 10 hear what belongs TO
his peace. Nor must we stop here. We must
dJoue all erempiiy by consistent observance of
the ptedge, IN all its range and aspects, our devo-
ton to the cause, Sho,cing our faith by workS.'
1t is time that temperance men take a higher stand
in their practice Fer surely it is no time to fater
in our course. Nor let me be understood, when |
speak Of Kindness to teach any relaxation in our
principles. Far otherwise. "IotdL abstinence from
all that Intoricofe" is always to bozc forth
upon our banners. But we need not always ring
the same changes in our method Qftedching and en-
forcing these principles "Why do you always
keep firing cannon" said slrewd Judge Of human

PRESCRIPTION.

The guillotine is in full play at Washington, and
we are sorry to see that Mr. Polk is first beheadng
some of the best men in the public service
John S. Skinner, 3D. Assistant p. NJ. General, is
ocofoco, but nevertheless worthy man, an ex-
cellcnt officer, and particularly esteemed by the
Aprjcuturlsts of the Union, by whom he has long
been well known agricultural writer. lie
was retained by President Harrison, nolwithsand-
ing his politics, but has now been removed TO make
way for a less worthy man. The correspondent Of
the Tribune says:
Mr. Skinner is q gentleman, whom to know is 10
honor. Every farmer in the country has heard OF
him and has learned to esteem him without know
ing him. He started the first Agricultural paper
in the United States and for long time conduct
ed the American Farmer His position at Wash
ington gave him great facilities to do good TO the
farming interests throughout the United States
His desire, rather passion, TO promote ngricutu-
raj improvements, hardly ever permitted day-breat
to find him III Bed His continuance in office would
have been a compliment and blessing to the far
mers throughout the country, who ought to have
"ouual protection in the bestowal Of Offices, as
well as the other professions who crowd the capital.
But Mr. Skinner, at somewhat advanced age, and
with pecuniary cmbarrussments brought on in eff
forts to improve farming, is turned out to make
room for President Tyler's brother-n law, merely
because, as some suppose, he DR. Miller,) knows
too much of the "bargain and corruption" between
the conlending Baltimore Conventions that nom.n-
ated Polk and Tyler.
The Hon. Henry L. Ellsworth of Conn.,, who has
for some years filled the Office Of Commissioner OF
Patents with great honor, is another victim. No
mans services in the government have been more
useful 10 the farmers and mechanics ofthc country
than his the annual reports from his hand have
been the most valuable documents published by the
government, and through these we doubt not he
has won the respect and gratitude Of the people
more universally than any other officer But he
"walks the plank" at the command of James *
Polk, who President though he be-is far less en-
titled to that office by his public services than !:
this same prescribed Henry L. Ellsworth.
Matthew st. Clair Clarke-an estimable maj
who we believe has frequently been retained in ser
vice by parties opposed to him-is another victim.
The army Of martyrs promises to be large Blu
the worst of this Wholesale prescription is that i
sweeps away men whose places cannot well bt
supplied.
