BEAUFIFUL AIhEGoRY.


Night kissed the young rose, and it bent softly to
sleep. And stars shone, and pure drops hung upon
its blushing bosom, and watched It's pure slunbers
Morning came with her dancing breezes, and they
whispered to the young rose, and it awoke joyous
and smiling Lightly it danced to and fro in all the
loyeliness of health and youthful innocence.
Then came the ardent snn-god sweeping from the
east, and he smote the young rose with his golden
shaft, and it tainted. Deserted and almost heart
broken, it dropped to the dust in its loyelness and
despair
Now the gentle breeze. who had been gamboing
over the sea, pushing on the light bark, sweeping
over hill and daleby the neat cottage and the still
brook-fanniug the fevered brow of disease, and
tossing the cursp innocent childhood, came tripping
along on the errands of mercy and love; and when
she fastened to kiss it, and fondly bathed its fore
head in cool, refreshing Showers the young rose re-
viFed, looked up and smiled, flung its ruddy arms as
if in gratitude to embrace the kind breeze shut she
hurried quickly away when her generous task was
pertomed-yet not without reward, for she soon per-
ceived that delicious fragrance had been poured on
her wings by the grateful rose, and the kind breeze
was glad in her heart and went away singing through
the trees.
Thus charity. like the breeze which gathers fra
GRANGE from the humble flowers it refreshes, uncon-
sciouslyreaps reward in the performance of It's Offices
of kindness and love, which steals through the heart
like a rich perfume to bless and to cheer.

Congress.it will be seen by our telegraph news in
another column has precipitaed its action in attempt
ing to impeach the President and the who rais-
ed the infamous charge against Mr.: Polk of having
commenced the ueccssQTt ard alnconstttlsttoa~
ally are preparing to withdraw their resolution They
have found that dennciation and substantial proofs
are two things, and that failure to impeach the Ex-
ecutye would be to cover themselves with the scorn
of all honest and the contempt of history They
have found, too, that their resolution could not stand
upon record without being subjected the last test
provided by the Constuton-that the PRESS the peo-
pie, and even the President himself, would have de-
manded trial of its reasonable charge, to determine
whether by the impeachment of the Executive it
should remain as warning truth, or by failure of
impeachment be blotted out to eonfound its authors
For their own sakes, it will be well if the majority
who voted that resolution strike it out before it has
recoIed upon them with shame and disgrace. So far
awe can comprehend, passage was treason of the
basest kind. 1t was of the systematically con-
cocted movements by which the war, the policy of
the government and the interests of the country are
to be thWarted and sacrihced-No! not sacriced for
there is yet left the voice of the people, which, in
their Indignation at this miserable treachery has al
ready spoken in such tones as the servants at the Cap
tol will not dare to disobey. At the moment when
the republic requires the sympathy and support of
every freeman-when unani1nitv in our coinseis and
among our masses, in defence of the cause of the
country would secure all the blessing of honorable
peace, we behold the national Legislature rent asunder
and major portion of it actually inclinnp to the side
OF our enemy What lesson must this convey to obsti.

have poured outtheir blood upon the war-path and
pelled their lives amid the tlunders of battle Hap
ply 1t Will not be many months before sthe people
themselves will determine whether these men of
Congress are patriots or traitors in attempting to
shame and dishonor their country. In oureopinion
they have covered themselves with disgrace to which
the finishing tint will be given by the withdrawal of
their infamous resolution.

BRuTAL. One Andrew Stewart, member of Con
gress from Pennsylvania, is reported by the New
York Herald as having thrown the whig members
into explosion of merriment, by ridieulng the
physical exhaustion of Mr. Walker, secretary of the
treasury, consequent upon his excessive official la
bors. If the report is correct, (and the Herald is
usually soy it seems that this man was crticising
Mr. Walkers frec trade report and, after assuming
series of errors in it, he say that won-
der that he tainted away and fell down after compet
ing it, and thereupon there was general laugh a
mong the wings. If this be true, it exhibits degree
of brutality in the House Of Representatives which
we should not look for among cock-fghters,

Here was case of an officer of the Government, la

insult, laughter, fun and merriment! Verify, the

ANGRY WORDS.

Angry words are lightly spoken,
In rash and -thoughtless hour;
Brightest links of life are broken
By their deep, insidious power.
Hearts inspired by warmest feeling,
Ne'er before by anger stirred,
. Oft are rent past human healing
by single angry word.
Poison drops of care and sorrow,
Bitter poison drops are they,
Weaving for the coming morrow
Saddest memories of to-day.
Angry words oh let them never
From the tongue unbridled slips.
May the hearts best impulse ever
Check them ere they soil the lip!
Love is much too pure and holy,
Friendship is too sacred far,
For a moments reckless folly
Thus to desolate and mar.
Angry words are lightly spoken;
Bitterest thoughts are rashly stirred
Brightest links of life are broken
BY a single angry word.

HAVE COURAGE.

Have the courage to confess ignorance whenever,
or in regard to whatever subject, you really are unin-
formed.
Have the courage to treat difficulties you would
noxious weeds-attack them as soon as seen. Moth
ing grows SO fast.
Havo the courage to meet creditor You must
be gamer by the interviews, even if you learn the
worst We are own deceivers. .- . -
Have the courage to be silent when fool prates
He will cease the sooner. Besides, what can he or
you gain by prolonging the conversation?
Have the courage to receive poor relation openly
and kindly. His shabby apPearance-even his igno-
rance-wil appear your advantage: for the mind is
prone to draw comparisons. We have nothing to
be ashamed of but our errors.
Have the Courage to own that you are poor; and,
if you can, laugh at your poverty. By so doing you
disarm enemies, and deceive nobody. Y on thus
avoid many difficulties; and besides, there are peo-
pie who will not believe you, especially those who
make the same acknowledgment as pretext for
meanness. .szsa5a
Have the courage to carry cheap umbrella you
will discover why when you loan it.
Have the courage to subscribe for newspaper,
and not depend upon borrowing your neighbors but,
above all, have the courage to PAY for it. -

PICTURES OF MEMORY.
BIZ MISS ALICE I

MISS ALICE CAREY.
Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
Is one of dim old forest
That seemeth the best of all.
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe,
Not for the violets golden,
That sprinkle the vale below:
Not for the milk-white lilies,
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coquetting all day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge:.
Not for the vines on the upland .t.e.
Where the bright red berries rest,
Nor the pinks nor the pale sweet cowslip,
1t seemeth to me the best.
y once had little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap of that old dim forest
He lieth in peace asleep:
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We roved there, the beautiful summers,
The summers of long ago:
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And, one of the autumn ewes,
made for my little brother
/, A bed of the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
NV neck in a meek embrace
AS the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face.
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tres-tops bright,
He fell, in his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates ofight.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang on Memoy's wall,
That one of the dim old forest
Seemeth the best of all.

ABDicATIoN OF THE EMPEROR OF Russia On the
first of December, says the London Sun, the Empe-
ror of Russia completed the twenty-second year of
his reign in three years, therefore, he will have ar
rived at an epoch which has been attained by any
of the Cars before him.. A fundamental law exists
in Russia, which dates before the time of Peter the
Great and by which the Emperor of Russia reign
no more than twenty-five years After this period he
is obliged to abdicate in favor of the heir presumptye
of the Imperial Crown. 1t is thought he will try
and have the law revoked.
To You've Men. Don't rely upon friends for aid.
Don't rely upon the good name of your ancestors !;
butt if you want to do anything for yourself, off with
your coat and set about it manfully. Thousands
have spent the prime of life in vain hopes of aid from
those whom they called fbiends-and thousands have
starved because they had rich father. Rely only
upon the good name which is made by your ex-
ertions, and know that the best friend you have
is unconquerable dissemination, united with decision
Of character.

A large meeting was held in Philadelphia. on Sat
urday evening, in the Museum, by the friends of Gen
Taylor-Dr. j. K. Mitchell in the chair. They
spread their nets to ''catch birds of overy feather
and insist upon it that the General is " rebung the
spirit of party In rejecting nomination for the pres
idency at the hands of either party; and 1" irrespec-
tive of party, as they hold FORTH They approve (not
the wings, but) the 't Peoples State Convenon,'' to
be held at harrisburg on the 22d of February, and
urge the fotdhation of an electoral ticket Similar
movement is making in other States; and the object
is two-old: First, to rule out whig national
venton, and head off their own great champion Mr..
Clay himself; (by this scheme, they will shrk the
responsibility of publicly promulgating their princi-
Pies and they will leave every clique in every State
at liberty to place their support upon different and
polite grounds ) and second, to secure .as many
democratic votes as possible for Gen. Taylor. The
time is coming for unmaskng this design. An honest
whig stated the other day, that Mr.. Clay was by far
the strongest man in his party but they wanted to
catch some democratic votes along with the whigs
to elect their candidate. This is the game which
many OF them are preparing 70 play, unless they.
should lind themselves too strong, the democratic
party too divided and weak in which case, they will
adhere to their strongest and favorte candidate But
there are strong appearances that their policy may pre-
vail their principles that the star of their leader
may pale its Intellectual fre;' that Henry Clay HIM
self may be shufled off the hustngs and that Gen.
Taylor may be selDted as their champion. We say
mot word against him. We would speak of him with
all possible respect But we have seen too much of
the spirit of the whig leaders not to anticipate such
course. They who have resorted for the two last
campaigns Gin 1910 and in l944) to all sorts of de-
vices to deude the People-who have appealed to the
senses in order to avoid direct appeal the under
standing-who have thus insidiously Stunned an
avowatof their principes-wiH not hesitate to pitch
Mr.. Clay overboard take up as their candidate man
under the character of .tnoparty candidate, whilst
they know him to be whig; and, withal "a military
candidate-one of the heroes created by war which
they have shamelessly denounced as. unjust and
constitutional Let them resort to this device, if
they please and the democratic party will be prepar-
ed to meet them and nnrnask their designs. Who
fears the result Let the republicans do their duty,
and we shall again defeat them! Give us harmony
give usunion. Go for principles, and not for men.
Take the field openly under the broad banners of our
principles, and under which, if should happen to
be beaten, may fill back rally our columns; and
we dread not an encounter with any candidate whom
field, and we dreadsno party which fights behind q
mask, and no man who does not boldly and openly
avow himself to be democrat in his principles and
his measures. Weshington Ja.iou

cramped by the claims which his old creditors
have on him. 1t is true, the government once
lent hand for few months to relieve such
Debtors but it was like opening a plumbago
mine for day and closing it for year for
fear of surfeit. We had not advanced far
enough to form uniform system of bank
ruptcy. But Notwithstanding this such in
roads have been made on the errors of the
present cent ury, that I confidently believe
that reform on the important subject Of the
collection of debts will not long be delayed.

SOUTHERN OPPOSITION TO MIR CALHOUN.
Hon Dixon H. Lewis, lately re-elect-

orally been esteemed as inclined to favor
Mr.. Calhoun politically. It-seems, how
ever, that both Mr. Lewis and Hon. Vim.
R. King previous to the election for Sena-
tor, ayowed themselves opposed to Mr.. Cal
houn ms a candidate for thePresidency. Mr.
Lewis, in letter of Dec. 18th, says: ''Dif.
fering with him distinctly on the subject of
the Mexican war, as do majority ofthose
I propose to represent, have no desire to
see him brought forward for the Presiden-
cy or Vice Presidency; nor do believe
such is the expectation either ofhimself or
ofthose who have been regarded as his es'
pecial efriends.'' Mr. Lewis further de-
clares that he ssshall support the nominees
ola Democratic Convention, if they ore are
sound on the subject ofthe Wilmot Provlso'
expressing his preference for candidate
from the free States; and in reference to
the war, says: 81 am in favor of its yigor-
GUS prosecution, to the extent Of ample IN
demnity for the past, and security for the
future" ."-BaH Sun.

A SMILE Who can tell the value of

A SM1LE.-Who can tell the value of a
smile; it costs the giver nothing, but it is be-
yond price to the erring and relenting the
sad and cheerless-~the lost and forsaken.-
It disarms malice -subdues temper-turns
hatred to love-revenge to kindness-and
paves the darkened path with gems and sun
light A smile on the brow betrays a kind
heart-a pleasant friend-an affectionate
brother-a dutiful son, and a happy hus-
band. It adds charm to beauty-deco-
rates the face of the deformed, y and. makes
lovely woman resemble the angels of para
disc. Who will refuse to smile.
