Story with a moral.
Some time ago, the Duke of Buccleugh, in
one of his walks, purchased a COW from a per-
sonin the neighborhood of Dalkeith, and left
orders to send it to his palace the following
morning. According to agreement, the COW
was sent ;and the duke happening to be in
dishabilla, and walking in the avenue, espied
a little fellow Intellectually attempting to drive
the animal forward to its destination. The
boy, not knowing the duke, bawled out to him.
"Fhmun, come here an gins ham WI
this beast"
The duke saw the mistake, and determin-
ed on having joke with the little fellow
Pretenting, therefore, not to understand him,
the duke walked on slowly, the boy still crav-
ing his assistance; at last he cries, in tone
of appearant distress,
"Come here, nun, an help US, an as sure
as any thing III give you half get!"
This last solicat;cn had the desired effect
The duke went and lent helping hand.
"And now" said the duke, as they trudged
along, show much do you think you'll get for
this Job ?''
"0h, dinna ken" said the boy, "but I am
sure o'something for the folk up by at the
house are good to a. bodies.
As they approached the house, the duke
darted from the boy and entered by different
way. He called servant and put sovereign
into his hand, saying. "Give this to the boy
that has brought the cow" The duke return
ed to the avenue, and was soon rejoined by
the boy.
"Well, how much did you get?" said the
duke"
"a shilling" said they boy, @an, there's the
half o it t'ye.'
@But you surely got more than shilling %
said the duke.
@No." said the boy with the utmost earnest
mes, 'tas sure's death, that's a. got-an' dye
not think it's plenty 2"
II do not" said the duke; 'there must be
some mistake; and as am acquainted with
the duke, if you return, l think I'll get you
more.''
The boy consented; back they went; the
duke rang the bell, and ordered all the ser
wants to be assembled.
"Now said the duke to the boy, point me
out the person that gave you the shilling
at was that chap there with the apron,
pointing to the butler.
The delinquent confessed, fell on his knee.
and attempted an apology; but the duke inter
rupted him, Indignantly ordered him to give
the boy the sovereign, and quit his service in
stantly.
"Yo You have lost, said the duke your money
your situation, and your character by you
lcovetousness learn, heneeforth, that honesty
is the best policy"
The boy by this time recognized his assis
tant in the person of the duke, and the duke
was SO delighted with the sterling worth anc
honesty of the boy, that he ordered him to b.
semitic school, kept there, and provided for a
his own expense.

tary burying ground Weare the chaps what
manufacture Immortality for dead men," he
submitted, slapping the pressman graciously
on the shoulder. The latter took it as if dub
bed knight of the legion of honor, for the
boy had put the mysteries of his profession in
sublime apocalypse. "Givc us one good healthy
mind, resumed Ezekiel, ito think for us, and
we viii furnish dozen worlds as big as this,
with thoughts to order Give us such a man,
and we will ensure his life; we will keep him
alive forever among the living He can't die,
no way you can fix it, when once we have
touched him with these here bits of inky pew
ter. He shan't die nor sleep We will keep
his mind at work on all the minds that shall
come to live here as long as the world stands .
Ezekiel" | asked, in subdued tone of
reverence, "will you print my thoughts ?''
'.Yes that will" he replied, 'if you think
some of the right kind "Yes, that we will,
echoed the pressman.'
And went home and thought, and Ezekiel
has printed my 'thought-tracksD ever since.

Early Rising.

A talented physician remarks that early
risingis the stepping stone to all that is great
and good. Both the mind and the body are
BY the practice, and much valuable
time is gained that is lost to the sluggard. 1t
is the basis upon which health and wealth is
founded. The early morning is the best pc
riod forreAection and study; for it is then, after
refreshing sleep, that the mind smost vigorous
and calm. The statesman, as well as the mer-
chant, arranges his plans for the coming day
and all passes smoothly while he who wastes
his morning in bed loses much of the most
valuable commodity in life-time-which is
never regained. Early rising will often make
the poor man rich-the contrary will too often
beggar the wealthiest It will do much to-
wards making the weak strong; and the reverse
will enfeeble the strongest. Second sleep often
produces headache and languor There is
nothing more true than that-"He that loses
an hour in the morning is seeking it the
remainder of the day" All of our creates
men have been early risers; for instance
Newton, Franklin, Wellington, Shakespeare
Milton, Reynolds, Hunter, Eldon, Erskine."

But your proud mother surely knew,
For she the sound had heard.
When you were four years old, Lily,
You were my little friend,
And we had walks and nightly plays,
And talks without an end.
Your little ones are sometimes wise,
For you are undefiled:
A grave grown man will start to hear
The words of a child.

Pressed with an iron hand

Now, Mr.. Chairman, from these statistics we
have the fact that after California shall have
been admitted into the Union the slave States win
have nearly $4,000 square miles Of territory
more than the free States-a suficiency TO form
seven States as large as the State of New York
IL this is not an instance Of the very reverse of
what is chsrged-expanson of the South at the
expense of the North, and of Southern aggres-
sion-I know not what aggression means!
But, perhaps, one Of the most striking instances
of inequality land leave II to be determined
whether it is in favor of the North or South is
the manner in which the Supreme Court Of the
United States has been organized. That Court
consists Of nine circuits. Four of these are with
in the limits Of the free States, and five within
the slave States, The following table will show,
at glance, the different circuits, the locations,

consisted Of thirteen States, seven of which were
free, or progressively free States, and six were
slave States. At present, the Union consists Of
thirty States-ifeen Of which are free, and 6fieen
slave States Thus, there has been one more slave
State added to the Union than the fair share OF
the South, since the Union was formed, taking
her own claim 10 equal division as well founded
