al CAN EAT NO MORE PUDDING"

A lady in the south of England made a
practice of collecting all the little boys of The
parish once year upon her lawn, and stuff
ing then with beef and plumb pudding One
time towards the close Of the entertainment,
when she walked round to see how all went
on, and 10 ask how they were satisfied with
her bounty, she found the greater part of
them full and also content. But at last she
came to little fellow upon whose plate there
was large lump Of the third helping of pud-
ding, and he was blubbering and crying as
Pi1eousiv as though lie had nor had nieai Tor
four and twenty hours. "What is the matter
with you, my little man :" asked the lady ;
"has any one dared 10 ill-use you in my pre-
sence Z" The urchin bIubbered more desper-
aiely than before, and at length faltered out
81 can ca! no more puddingn' and he cried
more bitterly than before
The lady pat,ed him on the head, saying,
edo not cry, my good little man for if you
are not able to eat your pudding, you can put
1t in your pocket" A more violent burst
followed this kind advice, and at the end of it
came out the words, "But my pockets are both
full already"

OUR MECHANICS.

They are the palace builders Of the world !;
not stick is hewn, not stone is sharpened,
in all the lordly dwellings of the rich, that
does not owe lis fitness and beauty to the
mechanics skill the towering spires that
raise their giddy heights among the clouds,
depend upon the mechanics art and strength,
for their symmetry, beauty and proportions !;
there is no article of comfort or pleasure, but
what bears the impress of their handiwork
How exalted is their calling-how sublime
is their vocation ! WHO dares 10 sheer at
such fraternity of honorable men-who
dares to cast odium upon such patriotic
race Their path is one of true glory, and
ii is their own fault if it does not lead them
to the highest posts Of honor and renowp.

THE STATE oF OHIO:

We learn from the annual message of Cover
nor hartley, to the Legislature Of Ohio, that
the Banking Law of that State has fG!flled the
highest expectations Of those who formed it, and
bids fair 10 administer to the prosperity of the
Stale and the development of its resources
Twenty-three Banks have complied with the re-
QUESTIONS Of the law, and commenced opera.
tions.--Nat Int.
From brief view Of The results of the fnanx
ces of this State for the last fiscal year, lending
18th November,) we learn that the taxable proa
perry enumerated in the grand list for 1916 a.
mounted TO the sum of 44,IGO,469. The raa
ito OF increase for the year on lands, cattle, &c.
is as great as usual; that on mercantile capital.
exceeding S6,000,000. The canal tolls have
slightly diminished, but the general result is ia.
yorable in the extreme, being an aggregate i'm
crease OF S9,0lS,O00 of valuation. The whole
amount received on the canals during The wear
was $5O4 ,03l ,08. The revenues of the State
are amply sufficient to meet the interest on The
public debt and all the expenses Of the State
The high credit and integrity of the State of
Ohio, therefore, remains unimpeached and the
world may he challenged to show another politi<
cal community which, in little more than forty
years, has grown to such magnitude, maintained
more unblemished character, enjoyed such ada
vantages of Providence, or employed then more
successfully.

COL. BENTON.

1t seems that Col. Benton is looked upon with
dlstrust, by his party, account of the indepen-
dent course he has thought proper to pursue re-
CARELESS of the caucus system. In the first place,
he voted with the Wings for the Senate TO APP
point It's own Committees, instead of the Vice
President; and in the next, for MIR. Dickens, as
Clerk, who had filled that station for IL years,
without the least complaint. Upon this the
Richmond Wing remarks :-LyncAJ. Vrg.
"Wouid Col. Benton take that decided stand
IN ALL things, which the rejecting men of the
country cannot but bcheve his judgment dictates,
no man could exercise so pow erful an influence
we regard him at present, as occupying more
powerful position over the future, than any man
In the Union The issues of PEACE or WAR,
OF Liberty or LiceDiousDess, of Preservation or
Destruction, are in his hands. Great is his res
possibility, and consuming will be his condem-
nation, II he does not now properly direct the
powers of his Senatorial position and his great

worst to be wrought upon when they are

Her husbands secrets she will not divulge
especially she is careful to conceal his infirm-
tiles.
In her husbands absence she is wife and

files OF her diligence. AT his return he finds
all things SO we'll, that he wonders TO see
himself al home when he was abroad.
Her children, though many in number, are

among other very beautiful passages
Love is the weapon which Omnipotence
reserved to conquer rebel man when all the
rest had failed. Reason he parties; Fear he
answers blow TO blow; Future Interest he
meets with present pleasure but Love, that
sun against whose melting beams Winter can

and coolly observed:

SOUTH CAROLINA.

II is mentioned i'll the Richmond Enquirer.
that the South Carolina House Of RepIesea-
tatives, by large majority, passed an appro-
priation Of 10000 dollars TO the suffering dis
tricts of Sparianburg, Union, York, Chester,
Laurens, Abbeville, Lancaster, and Newberry
for The purchase of food--the amount TO be
distributed according to the several represent
taliyes of The Districts in the Legislature. Ii
was zealously resisted as involving a princi-
pie Of vast danger-and liable to enormous
abuse upon the occurrence ofany contingency
which the Legislature might think iusIifica-.
lion for giving away the revenues Of the State,
The distress IN the upper country of South
Carolina, from the failure of the crops, is rep
resented to be very deplorable.
