"If | were thee, | wouldn't have anything
to do with these reform movements, as they
are called" said an snti-reform Quaker the
other day to his younger relative who seem
ed little disposed to /" keep in the quiet"
while so many Of his companions wer5 zeal

"Why not?" said the young man, as he
remembered the wretched condition of the
down-trodden and oppressed, as he thought
of the homeless wanderer who had not n foot
Of soil he could claim as his, as the degrade
ton of the drunkard came before his mind.
"Bccauso," replied the calculating Quaker,
"if they produce any good, thee will be ben
Gifted whether thee takes part in them or
not; and as thee Is only one person thee
can't help them along much. If they are
bad, why then thee will avoid all censure if
thee keeps away from them"
Surely, these polite Quakers are wiser in
their generation than the children Of light.
IHE Army MISSIONARIES IN MEXIcu.-In
a letter from Santa Anna to General Scott we
find the following beautiful picture Of the la
bors Of the Bible and Tact laden soldiers,
who were to convert the ignorant papists OF
Mexico from the error Of their ways, and
plant the standard of American civilization
and American Christianity.

Gy- A friend from a noighboring town has
sent us for publication the names of those
who contributed to the funds of the Sewing
Circle at that place. thinking that such ac-
acknowledgement ought TO be made. Were it
possible, we should be glad to acknowledge
each individual contribution which was made
to the late Fair or to any one Of the Sewing
Circles connected with it. But as this could
not be done in the large majority Of cases,
we think it better to omit it in the instance
referred to. Many in this town contributed
their one, three and five dollars for that OBJ
iect, bu, as we could not ascertain how much
was contributed by individuals in other pla-
ces, we made no other Acknowledgements
than that contained in the sum total of the
proceeds Of the Fair. We thought it would
appear inyidious to publish the names of con-
tributors in one town and give no credit 10
those who did equally well in others. We
made an effort at the time of the Fair to as
certain the amount in goods and money that
came from each town, but owing to the fact
that in many instances no account was rem
dered by the donors, and many did not know
the value of their contributions, it was i'm
possible to make out such report.
VERY TRUE.-ln one of our exchanges we
find the following resolution, which, as it
states, was passed by ''the colored peoples
Educational Convention" though we are UNI
able to make out where said convention was
held. This, however, is a matter Of no inn
p%ortance so far as the sentiment Of the reso-
luton is concerned, for it is applicable to all
Black Law states, and presents a case Of
shameless outrage, far greater than that which
in l775 was the means of lighting up the
fires of war at Lexington and Bunker Hill.
"Resolued, That the white people of thi:
state ought not 10 reproach us with being ig'
norant, degraded, and poor, while they tax
our property to support their own poor, and
their blind, deaf, and insane, and educate
their own children, while denying to ours
the benefits and blessings conferred by this
taxation"

Coon WILL REsULr.-Were it not that
reformers believe it their duty to speak wheth-
er the world will hear or will forbear, ii would
sometimes seem as though it were useless to
attempt to stem the current Of popula, wrong
or strive to awaken the people TO a sense of
their danger and responsibility. However
unsuccessful their efforts may be 10 arrest a
growing wrong or prevent the contamination
of an iniquitous scheme. yet those efforts
become a part of the history of the age, and
other generations, if not the present, will be
benefited by them. Like the mummy wheat
that has lain entombed thousands Of years,
but which preserves within it the principle
Of life, and which takes root and grows when
planted in a kindly soil; so will the truth,
though now it may fall on needless ears and
seem for a time to possess no power, produce
a glorious result in the future. Fear not then
bat it will accomplish the work which its au-
thor designed. The indestructible principle
of Gods life dwells within it, and sooner
or later that principle will manifest itself to
save and to bless.

Public Patriotism.

1t is not generally known that shopkeePers as
class, are the most patriotic people in the country
Scarcely battle is fought or victory won but
some new article of merchandise is straightway
ienifed with the name OF the event: For instance,
we have long had Rough and Ready bohnets for
ladies'; Buena Vista neck cloths for thesgentlemen;
which, by the way, as their name imports, in many
instances have failed in giving good view to the
wearer but we read in an exchange paper the
other day an announcement Of Cerro GOrdo prayer
books! 1t only remains now for the pulpit to profit
by these popular names; we think the largest
church might be filled with the announcement of
a Rough and Ready sermon.
