LABOR'S THANKSGIVING HYMN.
BY MARY HowITT.
That must work, thank thee, God
know that hardship, toll and pain,
Like rigorous winter in the sod,
Which doth mature the hardy grain,
Call forth in Man bis noblest powers;
Therefore hold my head erect,
And amid lite's severest hours,
Stand seadfast in my self-respect.
thank thee, God, that must toll
Yon ermined slave Of lineage high,
The game'law lord who owns the soil,
Is not SO free man as |
He wears the letters OF his clan;
Wealth, birth and rank have hedged him in
l heed but this, l am Man.
And to the great in man akin 4!
Thank God, that, like the mountain oak,
My lot is with the storms OF life;
Strength grows from out the tempest's shock,
And patience in the daily strfe
The horny hand the furrowed brow,
Degrade not, howe'er sloth may deem;
lis this degrades-to cfinge and bow,
And ape the vice we disesteem.
Thank God for toll for hardship, whence
Come courage, patience, hardwood,
And tor that sad experience,
Which leaves US tears for Others wo
Brother in toll, respect myself,
Aud let thy steadtast virtue show
That man is nobler far than pelf!
Thank God for toll; nor fear the face
OF wealth, nor rank /; fear only sin,
That blight which mars all outward grace,
And dims the light of peace within
Give me thy hand, my brother, give
Thy hard and toil-stained hand to me;
We are no dreamers, we shall live
A brighter, better day to see

TRIBUTE TO PRESCOTT, THE HIsroRIAN-In publ
cation oil the speeches OF the Duke of Argyle the Earl
OF Eglintown and others, at a soree OF the Glasgow
Athenaeum, held in the City Hall of that place, Janu-

ment airy to VIM H. Prescott, ESQ.,, in the speech of
the Duke OF Argyle:

eminent historian from the United States NV friend
Mr. Sheriff Alison, had the honor of entertaining I'M

the History OF Ferdinand and Isabella. ask you to
attend to the circumstances OF this gentleman He il
laborng under personal nhrmity which prevents him
from having that intimate and extensive knowledge
at least through the media which other men ac-
qulre by being able TO devote their leisure hours 10
the reading OF books He abors under an nfirmity of
sight, and can only therefore, use in his writings
those materials which he gathers from the reading of
other persons. Mr.. Prescott is a republican, born in
the West, accustomed to repub lean ideas in hs own
country, and imbued with all the spirit of republican
PATRIOTISM. Look at the effect which historical
reading and historical study have had upon his
highly cultivated mind. He has presented to you
and TO Europe history the reign of Ferdinand and
Isabella, written with great brlliancy OF magma
ton, and with all the warmth OF heart and loyalty
which you might have expected from cavalier or a
courtier OF Queen Isabella herself [chees 80 that by
following that history you enter into the spirit OF
that time, and have your interest much excited
as you were reading tale OF the present day. and of
your own circumstances"

THE BASIS QUESTION.
From the Fincastle (Bot) Wing.

As we minated in last this day week ago.
was set for bringing to close the discussion in the Con-
venton OF the basis question We have not yet learned
the result AS the time approached the excitement in
and out of the Convention seemed TO wax warmer and
warmer Ut course is needless speculate about the
result now-but still we deem proper, frankly TO saw
to our readers that we have but little hope Of the adop
probability Of three or four of the Eastern members
going with the West upon this subject, yet there will
still re main decided majority against US. All that we
is compromise of this vexed quest on. We know that
large portion ofthe West opposed to acceding to
any compromise upon this subject We however take
things il we get exactly what we want, we will
take what get if is better than what we now
have. We have doubt but that the white basis will
ultimately prevail, and if We cannot get it now still
we willing to take another compromise which viii
be one more step towards its accomplishment.

FALSE RUMORS.

Dean SWIFT, in one of his pamphlets, defines politi-
ay sheods for end Thugs chan
ged since his day. We now see any amount OF alsehood
confidently circulated which in no aspect be con-
sidered as salutary, or leading to any good end.
One OF these we saw copied into the Union OF Satur-
day, in relation TO Mr.. CoRwIN's alleged connection
with certain Florida claims in the course of adju
dcaton before the Treasury Department There is one
Florida claim for inconsiderabe amount now pend.
ing before that Department alleged grow out of the
treaty of 1924 The question involved in this case, and
in others which look to this for the establishment OF
precedent is whether under the law and practice OF
nations the claimants entitled to damages for the
detention Of their dues; and the lowest measure OF dam
ages alleged to be the legal interest of the county
Mr. CoRwIN, before he became member OF the Cabi-
net had given opinion as counsel on this question
but he has no interest, direct or Indirect, positive or
contingent of any name or nature, in its settlement
This authorized to say. We will add, that from
feelings OF decacy in the premises and to remove the
remote suspicion OF any improper bias In this adj
Indication, the whole subject during the illness OF Mr..
CoRwN referred. at his request TO the Secretary OF
the Navy who has taken the point the opinion of
the Attorney General We are entirely satisfied that
the connection of Mr.. CoRwIN with this matter will be
found one that in every point OF view will bear the
