Trees-their Usefulness to Man.

from an article published in the Pnlla-
delphia Saturday Cleaner:
Passing over the ordinary uses to
which trees are applied, that of ship.
building may be selected, not only as
the means Of mutuOl interchange oil
commodities between distant regions.
but tor the civilization which has been
effected through the greater part of the
world by this INSTRUMENTATION. II
is from them also, that we derive nu-
merous fruits that crafty the palate by
their Iusciousness and the taste by their
beauty; the downy peach, the rosy ap.
pie, the yellow ptar, &c, are the pro.
duce of their gre with; luXurles to some,
food to others, and grateful to all.
1t may, however, be entertaining to
consider some for their usefulness to
man, and the various and dissImllar pur-
poses to which they are applied. Lei

There is not a portion of this tree that
is not available. The wood is used for
building, the fruit which contains a pint
or more Of sweet juice, is administer
ed as a febrifuge, the nut from which

as food; while the shell is converted in
to drinking cups; and the outer bark is
male into cables more durable and elas-
tic than hemp. Incisions are also made

from which an alcoholic liquid flows,

The Tiller Of the Soil.

By DAVID L. RoATH.
A hardy snnburnt man is he'
A hardy sunburnt man;
No sturdIer man you'll ever see,
Though all the world you scan,
In summers heat, in winters cold.
You'll find him at his toll
oh, far above the knights OF old
Is the Tilel Of the Soil.
No weigbty bars secure his door,
No ditch is dug around;
His walls no cannon b,istle Ger,
No dead lie on his ground.
A peaceful laborer is he,
Unknown to earth's turmoil
~ From many crushing sorrows free,
Is the Tiller nj the Soil.
-f9 His stacks are seen on every side,
SRI His barns are filed with gram,
Ho's Though others hail not fortunes tide,
He labors not IN vain.
~ The land gives up its rich increase,
"a i' The sweet reward Of toll;
% And blest with happiness and peace.
'ai Is the Tiller Of the Soil,
"a He trudges out at break of day,
yhsa3 And takes his way along;
And as he turns the yielding clay;
-',G He sings the joyful song:
-is He is nc dull, unhappy wight,
81 Bound in mistortune's coil;
~. The smile is bright, the heart is light,
stj ofthe Tiller of the Soil.
l.z And when the orb of day hath crown'd
e. ~ With gold the western sky,
Before his dwelling he is found,
saT With cheerful faces by
With little laughing duplicates,
10 Caresses will not spoil;
Oh, Joy on every side awaits
The Tiller uf the Soil.
A hardy sunburnt man is he,
90, A hardy sunburnt man;
But who can boast a hand so free,
As the Tiller of the Soil.
49, Nor summers heat, nor winter cold,
10 The power has him to foil;
o. Oh. far above the knights Of old,
Is the Tiller of the Soil.

1t is claimed that the Cass men will have Il ma
orty OH Joint ballot, in state legislature, over
all other parties. This may be so, but have no
doubt ourself, that an accurate knowledge of the
result, will prove The contrary. We have very lit
tie idea that the Cass men will be found to have
such practical working majority, as will enable
them TO have things their own way. In view of
the delicate position of matters, it seems to be a-
ken for granted by many, that the barnburncrs and
wings will unite for the sole purpose of opposing and
defeating the Cass men, We have no idea that
any such coalition for any snch purpose will be
tered into at least any coalition that will call upon
free soil men to sacrifice one jot or title OF the prn-
ciplcs they hold. The free soil move grew ont Of
the necessity of indicating a great prime ple-the
end is not achieved yet, and the Importance of firm
decided, and uncompromsing effort, is as evident
now as before the late election. Free Soil men
then, can enter into alliances for any temporary
advantage, which will in the least degree compro-
mise the great principles at stake But if any Goa
tons are to be formed, certainly none could be
more unnatural than one between free soil and
Taylor men, holding as they must, directly antago-
MYSTICAL positions on the great question of the day.
Free soil men have but one course to pursue-the
course they marked out for themselves in the be-
ginning of the campaign, to support the men who
truly represent their principles. If the Cass or
Taylor men, or both, choose to come up to that
standard and support such men, none will prevent.
If coalition with free soil men is desired, this is
the only way it can be brought about

THE TELEGRAPH.
C. l.. SHOLES, EDITOR
Friday, November ~, Is4s.

Q-3e.s Doubts have resolved themselves into con-
victiop," that Cen Taylor is the President elect Of
this nation for four wears from the 4th of March
next. That we chronicle this fact, with deep re-
grct, we must say. We love our country and her
institutions less for what they really are, than the
undevcloped good they contan-good which can
be developed and attained, only by course difier-
cnt from that which this present contest and ITS re-
suits indicates us TO be pursuing. Aside from the
triumph of the south, which Taylor's success Sc
cures for the present, there other features of
the matter, to us as Objectionable and as (ranght
with danger 1t is the first time in the history Of
our republic that a man has been chosen to the
chief magistracy upon the sole ground of military
| fame Taylor stands coniessedy without single
known qualification for the office, and except for
his success in arms would most certainly have ne
yer been thought of. We do most seriously fear
and dcprecate the prevalence of military spirit.
It is only in the walks peace, that the true spirit
Of rcpubicanlsm, with its blessings ever be re-
allied. War is death to repubiicansm, and where
/ a war spirit prevails among people, there will be
but mere semblance of liberty. But we by nc
means despair of the Republic. Taylor represents
in his person the most anti-repubican of principles
and no doubt a vast deal of mischief will be done
during his administration, but there is an energy
and an intelligence among the people, which viii
rise above and remove these evils and dangers
Let Old lack come, there is noble army Of
some or 400 600 free soilers, who will guard oul
institutions with Argus eyes and untiring vigilance
They will hold the enemies of true Republicanisn
at bay, until the great mass of the people becoming
fully aware of their rights, shall arise as one mar

TIE GALE AND lrs EFFEcTs.-We fear
We shall be called upon to chroniclc some
dreadful disasters which have occurred from
the late gale. We are informed by masters
OF vessels who were out during its force,
that tt was one of the most severe they cv-
or experienced on the lakes. Last night
our city was visited by showers of rain and
hail, accompanied by vivid flashes of light
ming and loud peals of thunder. There
were TIVE alarms Of fire this morning, but
the only injury sustained by fire occurred
to the hat and cap store Of Mcssrs. Twee-
dy and Smith, on Main street, the paIlicu.
lars of which will be found in another arti-
Gle. Nothing but the hcrculcan efforts OF
Qua interchangeable ircmen, prevented 4 much
more serious conhagTation, as a high wind
prevailed at the time, which threatened to
overcome all endeavors 10 subduc the

disasters to our lake craft We have since
learned that the schooner .NarioH struck Il

Il Whatever, at this election, may be the fate
OF our cause in the country at large, it cannot be
said that this part Of the broad union, has been lag
gard in her duty. She has come nobly up to the
work. Regardless of tattery, of threats or denun-
Citations, she has kept her eye steadily on the great
principles at stake. and marched determinedlv for.
ward to their vindicaton. great triumph has
been the consequence. We have elected our mem
Der OF Congress, and in the counties of Racine and
Nalworth, have swept clean our legislative and
county tickets. 1t is folly TO talk about this being
the result of blind enthusiasm or a temporary ex-
element, which is to subside immediately 1t is
the result Of clear perception of the principles at
and the position of parties with regard to those
principles and far from the enthusiasm subsi-
DING, the same ACKNOWLEDGEMENT continue to be
manifested, until the end is attained. AS it was
here, so it ought TO have been in other parts of this
state, and throughout the whole north, and so it
would have been, but for the efforts of dishonest
editors who kept the light carefully concealed from
the people, and dishonest politicians, who perverted
and mystifed the facts as they existed. But these
influences cannot always prevail The result Of
the election strengthens US, and we feel confident
the position OF The whole north will soon be as that
Of south eastern Wisconsin
