required some alteration, to be delivered

it fell into the hollow stump of tree

thinking it incredible, and that he should

Clear the Way!

Men Of thought! be up and stirring
Night and day;
Sow the seed-withdraw the curtain
Clear the way!
Men of action, aid and cheer them,
As ye may!
There's fount about to stream,
There's light about to beam,
There's warmth about to glow,
There's a flower about to blow:
There's midnight blackness changing
Into gray!
Men of thought, and men of action,
CLEAR THE WAY!
Once the welcome light has broken,
Who shall say.
What the unimagined glories
Of the day.
What the evil that shall perish
In its ray! =
Aid the dawning tongue and pen;
Aid it, hopes Of honest men;
Aid it, paper-aid it. type
Aid it, for the hour is ripe,
And our earnest must not slacken
Into play.
Men of thought and men of action!
CLEAR THE WAY!
Lo! clouds about to vanish
From the day;
Lo! the Rights about to conquer,
CLEAR THE WAY!
And brazen wrong to crumble
Delay.
With that Right shall many more
Enter smiling at the door;
With the giant Wrong shall fall
Many others, great and small,
That for ages long had held US
For their prey;
Men of thought, and men of action,
CLEAR THE WAY!

A LEARNED SHoEMAKER.-TheR oches
Ter American has the following account
of the requirements of journeyman
shoemaker in LIE Roy, Genesee county,
New York. 1t contains valuable les
son to mechanics, and illustrates the
power of the human mind in overcoming
obstacles. This journeyman shoemaker
may some day figure in the halls of con-
gress, or occupy the chair of the Nation
al Institute.
Mr.. Ames is a journeyman shoemaker.
About five years since, then twenty fou:
years old, he conceived the idea of max
ing himself acquainted with common a..
rithmetic; the extent of his knowledge
at that time was very limited. He had a
little knowledge of geography, and coul
read and write very we'll but his knowl-
edge of figures did not extend much be-
yond the fundamental rules of nrithme-
tic. He succeeded so we'll with arithme-
tic, that he determined to pursue the
higher branches of mathematics. Accor-
dinghy he took Bourdon's algebra after
making himself thoroughly acquaint ed
with this work, he studied geometry, tri-
gonometry, and Farrar's mechanics. OF
these he has good knowledge.
Mr.. Ames then turned his attention to
the study of English Grammar; and, af-
ter becoming familiar with its principles
he commenced the Latin grammar. AS
he had no time TO study until after his
days work was done at night, he was
accustomed to write down the conjuga-
ton of the verbs, and such passages in
the grammar as it was necessary to have
perfectly committed, and place them
where he could occasionally get glance
at them during the day. Every day,
when going to his meals, he was learning
the conjugation Of some latin verb. His
progress in translatirg was at first eX-
tremely slow. Not having the benefit of
teacher, it took long time for him to
become satisfied that he had rendered
q sentence correctly. But he persevcred
until he read six books Of Virgil, Sallust,
three books of Tacitus, and portion of
the odes of Horace. He then commenced
Greek, and can read and translate it with
considerable facility. He has read Tele-
machus, Guizot's History of Civilization,
and several other French works. The
language he reads with great fluency.
During the five years Mr.. Ames has
been pursuing these studies, he has found
time to make himself familiar with the
historical works of Josephus, Rollin, Glib
bon and Bancroft. He has just common
ced studying the German language, with
a full determination TO persevere. Tho
he has pursued his studies without o
teacher, he pronounces the different lam
guages he has learned with good de-
gree of accuracy"

A WORD IN THE EAR OE WINGS.

In certain town not athousand miles
from the county of Litchfeld, lives To-
cofoco manufacturer-an honest man, u
his thoughts, and consequently in all his
ways. He votes Just as he does, because
his father did before him; and he never
thought to ask whether he is himself right,
because, like faithful son, he never sup
posed his father wrong.
When james K. Polk came to the Pres
ident's Chair, some of his Wing friends
said to him, you are dependant on the pro-
tective system. To be sure am-says
he-and expect to live by it. But that
system, replied they, is directly assailed
by the Baltimore Convention, and the
principles of that Convention Mr.. Polk
will carry out, and they will be your ruin.
Nonsense, said the honest loco-Mr. Polk
will never carry out those rulcs-he's au
honest man.
Within the last three weeks that same
manufacturer has been seen and talked
with on the same topic; and his language
is-Mr. Walkers Tariff Bill never had the
sanction of the President-it will ruin US
all-lhe President is friendly to the North.
That this manufacturer is slowly yet
certainly opening his eyes, every one can
see and that that honest man, when
aroused, will give his vote directly against
the Administration, is as certain as that
honesty in the end will sec the truth.
Now let the Wings, the State over, note
the fact, that many loco manufacturers, in
different parts of the State, are just get
ting their eyes open to the enormous evils
that are just upon them ; and ifthe Wings
do their duty, and put forth every effort
to make these men see the truth, hundreds
of them will at once renounce the party
that has wheedled and ridden them these
twenty years, and go for the real interest
of the North, and, with this, for the whole
land. Wings! see TO tn. II. Herald.

"there goes that bed cord it snapped

have a new one provided"
In few moments pop went another.

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-
ton of Francis J. Troubat esq, of Philadelphia /;
Hon. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster and Wilson Nc
Candless, Esq, of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions of Eng
lish law authors, without regard to priority of claim
on the part tof any American publisher Such books
are now VIGOROUSLY too dear. The reason is, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopolies in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities Un-
der the plea of right, acquired by the addition of
notes of American decisions, the latter claim an un-
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such titles but will reprint the standard
British law books as fast as they emanate from the
London market. Should new editions Of the works
Of such writer's as Starkie, the Chittys Stephen,
and Archibold, appear they shall also be included;
and digests of equity and law decisions-works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at Philadelphia--shall have a
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or com
mon law.
UF This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers of 160 pages, printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer type, atseven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.
