NATURES NOBLEMAN.
BY M. F. TUPPER.


Away with false fashion, so calm and so chill,
Where pleasure itself cannot please,
A way with cold breeding that faithlessly still
Affects to be quite at its ease;
For the deepest in feeling is highest in rank
The freest is first in the band,
And nature's own nobeman, friendly q frank
The man with his heart in his hand,
Fearless in honesty, gentle yet just,
He warmly can love and can hate.
Nor will he bow down with his tace IN the uus'
To fashions intoerant state;
For best in good breeding, g. highest In rank
Is natures own noblemsn, friendly Il frank,
The man with his heart in his hand,
His fashion is passion, his heart is intense,
His impulses simple and true,
Tempered by judgment, tqughit, by good sense
And cordial with me and with you:
For the finest in manners, as highest IN rank
1t is you, man! or you, man who stand
NATURES own nobemun, frendy and frank,
A man with his heart in his hand!

! PoLITIcAL ECONOMY AND STAT1sTICs.-A
curious work has recently been published, at
Paris, by Hens. le Chepalier f. de IaPieS,
entitled France and England; or the physi-
cal and moral statistics of France compared
with those of England, upon all analogous
points" We find a review of the work in
our Paris files, which furnishes us with the
following, among other interesting facts
"The soil of England and Scotland is en-
tirely owned by about hirty-seOen thousand
pIopretors.
ain France, the cultivated lands, alone,
are owned by four millions of proprIetors ;
and the whole reality of France, including
lands both TILED and untitled, buildings, &C.,
has within fraction Of eleren millions ofpro-
pretors."
The causes of these respective conditions
may be worth looking at. In France, the
Revolution broke up the great landed esta-
les of the privileged classes" and sold out
these lands in small farms, by which the soil
of France was placed in the hands of her
people; while, by abrogatng all hereditary
nobility, and the laws of entail, and obliging
an equal distribution of property, among the
children of each family, a return to the for
mcr stale of monopoly and oppression has
been signally prevented.
In, England, on the contrary, the feudal
system has been virtually retained, and its
operation has been, and still is, TO exclude
the mass of the people, of every class, from
any participation in the fee of their native
soil.-NationaI Pilot.

LONG SPEECHES." 1t is really more ques-

Congress. never heard either of them
speak Ten minutes at a time, nor to any bu
the main point, which was to decide the
question. They laid their shoulders to the
great points, knowing that the lesser ones
would follow of themselves. If the present.
congress errs in too much talking, how Can
it be otherwise, in body to which the peo
pie send one hundred and fifty lawyers
whose trade it is, to question every thing
yield nothing, and talk by the hour? That
one hundred and fifty lawyers should DO
business together, ought not to be expected"

INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY REPEALED.-Kel-
ley's Bank law allows the Wooster, Sandusky,
Norwak, and Xenia Banks to bank under
that law, and repeals all laws conflicting with
it. A motion to retain the liability of those
banks as established by the previous Legis-
lature, was, on the 10th of February last, ne
gatived in the House Of Representatives,
yeas 30, nays 37,-and on the 18th of the
same month, similar motion was negatlvet
in the Senate--yeas l3, nays II. In both
cases every yea was Democrat and every
nay Coon. Ye, in the face of this these
banks are still called liability banks.
When the Legislature coolly and dehbef1
ately repealed that statute making Bankers
liable as individuals as we'll as "institutions,'
what was the sensible conclusion to be
drawn? What would the horse-thief inter
pret the repeal Of all Jaws whi ch punish that
crime to mean?--of course to mean that
horse-stealing no longer 'oas punishable, and
he might rob as mlny stables as he pleased!
The same conclusion must come to the Bank

We saw case of honesty, yesterday, sur
passing that of the Brooklyn omnibus driver,
who restored the lady her lost purse. A poor
boy in Grand street was crying over five
cent piece he had just lost, and which car
man had picked up. Hearing the boy cry,
the carman asked him what was the matter.
GIVE lost my money-boo-oo-hoo!' bluh-
bered the boy. "What was sta five penceF'
inoured the honest man. "Ye-hes, sir"
said the boy. "There, them" said the man,
while glow of real pleasure lit up his broad
brown face, as he put the coin into the urchln's
hand, " there's your money, don't cry" The
boy took the money, put his finger to his nose
n la coffee mill, and exclaimed as he hopped
away-" Well, uint you little er the gree
nest seen you pick up that ere shiner'"-

An INDEFEAsIBLE TITLE.-During re-
cent debate in the British Parliament on the
New Zealand question, Lord Howic said that
witness examined before the committee
stated, incidentally, that he knew chief in
New Zealand who maintained that he had a
great title 10 his land, inasmuch as he had
eaten the former owner. An English paper
thinks "this to European ears may seem
rather barbarous title, but we do not know
that it is, in reality one whit more so than
that by which the descendants of the Norman
thieves and freebooters, who came over will
the conqucror, hold their lands at the pre-
sent day. They pilIaged, tortured, and op
pressed our Saxon ancestors, sparing neither
man in their anger, nor woman in their lust
and we have no doubt whatever that, had II
been thought necessary for the security o.
their title to eat their victims, as well as to
plumber and massacre them, the Norman
chivalry' would never had made wry moutl
about the matter"

To us it appears that there is rather more

Slavery and stealing, poverty and misery, are

An artist, endowed with equal patience,
presented Queen Elizabeth with bit of pa
per, of the size of finger nail, on which
was written the ten commandments, the
creed and the Lords Prayer, together with
her maiesty's name, and the date ofthe year;
all the letters of it were easily distinguished
by means of pair of spectacles, which this
artist had hims, If constructed.
The llliad of Homer, too, is to be seen
written upon velum, and in so small COM

Jerome Faba, an Italian priest, and ma
tive of Calabria, exercised himself in anoth-

from its difficulty. He finished work of

les of the passion, and hight be put into the

Madam de sevigne likewise mentions in
one of her letters, that there was a man in
Paris, who as a master piece, had construct

Dauphin, on this occasion, asked the Prince

the harness, and was told by him, with a
smile, that it certainly must have been som C

THE PRICES OF LABOR IN ENGLAND IN
1350.--A harvest laborer had TO work one
week to enable him to buy four bushels OF
wheat. In 1884, he was obliged to work,
twelve days, and in 1914, twenty-six days!
One months labor, buys as much and no
more wheat than one weeks labor did five
hundred years ago! -Four DAYS labor will
hardly buy in 1914, pair of shoes that could
have been bought with one days labor in
1874! In meat, cloth, &c, the disproportion
is the same! For Gods sake, let England
have all the credit on the score of humanity
for her Anti-Slavery movements; for it seems
that it is the only claim she can ever put in
on such score!

"In cases where water falls on highly
heated polished surface, such as melted glass
copper or silver, steam is formed rapidly, but
silently; the water does not touch the hot
surface. The spreading of film, or crust
over the polished surface, instantly alters its
relation TO water, and causes steam to form
with explosive violence, attended by a loud
report. do not hesitate in expressing my
belief, that the disastrous effects produced
in New York, were caused by water or other
fluids falling on saltpetre, while burning with
the bags investing it. The facts which |
have stated, may have interest or importance,
in connection with attempts made TO extin-
guish fire in buildings, containing satpetre.
The danger of throwing water on the fire is
manifest, while the loss to the owner of the
saltpetre would doubtless be greater from
water than from fire."

FINDING GoD.-We are accustomed to
think of God as above us. So he is. "The
heavens is his throne and the earth is his
footstool." God is also beneath, as well as
above and around us, Men are apt 10 seek
him by looking above, trying to rise TO his
throne and find Him there. But these
sinners never find Him. To us the throne
is napproachable. "The throne of grace" "
where we can find God, is beneath. We
find it not by rising but by sinking. In the
depths of humiliation, where the soul lies
dissolved in penitence, emptied Of pride, lust
selfshness and selfwll, where its only cry is
mercy, its only hope grace, and its only hold
the faith of the Son of God; there we find
God. There God reveals himself to the
" humble and contrite in spirit" and takes
his abode with them. All that seek God
there, find Him. TO them His name is a
strong tower" They flee into il and are
safe,n

MATRIMoNY is absolutely necessary, for
without a regular system of Marriage, the
civil government could not be supported; it
is also necessary to lay restraint upon our
passions, to sweeten the charms of society
by the dear conjugalities. There are five
things indispensabIy necessary to make the
married pair happy, circumstances above
want, mutual good humour, sincerity, proper
allowance for human frailtes, and firm
confidence in each other. Without these,
no married pair can be happy, and where
these subsist, the persons are rarely other
wise. One great misfortune among married
people is they generally expect more from
one another than nature will allow, or reason
authorize; each seeing the errors or defects
of the other, not their own; whence natural
chickering's, iealousies, or distaste arise
When the united constantly seek to please,
and nuke each other happy, when their mu-
tual eudearmens are founded on virtue,
tenderness. and esteem, when they gene
rously allow for each others errors, of judg-
ments and defects of nature, they certainly
constitute the happpest state human nature
is capable of; 'tis the vicousncss and folly
of choice, and imprudence of our behavior
that make the married state unhappy, and
not any thing in the state itself. Mttrmony
to the libertine, is like bad novel; but te

his choice that personal charms is the leas
and ightest consideration; he considers if ht
marries a beauty, without wisdom, and with
out principle, that his house, when the charn
of new prsything is dissolved, will becom,
gloomy prison to him. On the other hand
the considers, if he marries a woman of sens
and principle, she will every day be improv
ing in his esteem and increase his happInes
