in this respect, wiser than we. Old houses are
not only more solidly erected than modern ones,
but they were evidently constructed with less
haste. They were not run up in day. In the
effort to have cheap dwellings, we have passed
the line of true economy; and the result is
mere shells of houses that scarcely keep out
the rain, and that, after a few years, win be
unfit to inhabit Large portions Of all the
American cities will have to be rebuilt, in an
other generation, at the sacrifice of the eutire
capital invested in the present edifces. In
building with such haste we are sspenny wise

domestic architecture, to remember the old
adage--" whatever is worth doing at oil, is
worth doing well. l."-Phl. EUe. Bulletin.

Kossuth in America.

We have warmly seconded the sympathy in
favor of Kossuth, as well as the idea Of ex-
tending to him such a reception as his services
in the cause of freedom, his eloquence, and his
exalted personal character, entitle him to. We
do not doubt that such reception will be ex-
tended to him; nor do we doubt that it will be
aided by all classes of our countrymen, not.
withstanding the efforts making to render it
ineffective. The sentiment that welcomes Kos
suth is no sectional sentiment. 1t is all-per-
vading and universal, and will be elected and
aroused wherever the occasion shall demand it.
We cannot doubt that the release Of the Hun
garian hero by the Mohammedan author-
ties will be followed by the release of Mea-
CHER, O'Brien, Mitchell, and the other Irish
exiles on the part of the British authorities;
and we are stimulated in this belief and in this
hope by the formal and favorable manner in
which Kossuth has been greeted in England
a confession, as that greeting is, of the injus-
tice of the English policy as exhibited against
the Irish patriots, and let us trust, promise
of the speedy deliverance of those brave, intel
Ggent and prosecuted men. 1t seems, indeed,
as if the release of Kossuth by the Turk had
been wished for by the Englishmen, in order
that the latter might have an excuse for giving
freedom to the eloquent and chivalric Irish
men. But whatever the motive may be in re-
in his favor must operate to secure the liber-
ty of the expatriated patriots now confined
in the inhospitable colonies of Great Britain.
This then, being the course in England, what
course is left for US? Clearly, to welcome the
Irish as we have welcomed the Hungarian ex-
lies And not only this: we should call upon
England to break the fetters Of the Irishmen,
as our Congress called upon Austria to set the
Magyars free Kossuth is a great statesman,
but he is not a whit better than Meagher,
O'Brien, and Mitchell. Like him, they have
been unsuccessful; and though, unlike him,
they led no armies to BATTLE their courage and
their constancy in the hour of danger were
hardly less conspicuous. England is now in the
mood to recognise the services of Kossuth to
freedom; and of course she cannot be blind to
the merits of those who struck in the same
cause, even against herself. We certainly can
not afford to discriminate; but will be called
upon to repeat the welcome now in preparation
for Kossuth, whenever the glorious leaders Of
Irish liberalism shall be free to set foot on the
American continent.-Phla. PennsylUdaidn.

THE NEXT SpEAKER.-The contest for Speaker
to Congress is likely to settle down between
Col. Boyd, of ofKentucky, and Mr. Disney, of Ohio.
As the Southern States have had the Speaker
thirty nine years. and the Northern only twenty
three, the friends of Mr. Disney viii present his
claims in very strong light He has had much
experience as presiding officer, and would fill
the chair with ability and credit. Col. Boyd is
an old member of great experience and high
reputation. Mr.. Burt, of South Carolina, would
urfquestionably make the best presiding officer,
but his secession notions will defeat his election.

men as to the position and chances of German
artists in the United States, let's them know that

AIR" The Wizard Wditse."
My log cabins still meath the walnuttree shade
In the same sunny vale where in boyhood played,
And the clear river winds, as of old to the fall
For its sweet voice hear, like play fellows call;
And the smoke curs away from the rude chimney-top
And tho rosy-cheeked apples seem ready to drop
Iwould give the worlds weathyes I'd give II twice osr
For the love Of my Kate in that cot by the shorel
How pleasant 'twould be, at the heat Of the day,
Through the glade and the vnecovered woodland to stray
To tell Of fair countries and faces I'D seem
But still that home-tes stronger had been!
To point out the brook and the minnows there too,
In the rocky nook that in childhood we knew;
And the shoal-place gathered the pebbles, to give
To the maid would cherish long as live!
The world is unkind and it frowns upon love-
And it has not the charm Of my own native grove
For when my hearts worn with its trials and care,
would fly to my homeland they cannot come there
Then fonily, POTOMAC, welcome your wave,
And the Dense rackess woods of the borders you lave
will dwell mid the first to meet my young eye,
And would look my last look your shores as die!

ONE WAY TO DO I'm Russia the trans
portation Of passengers by diligence is a mo-
nopoly, and one of the rules is, that each pas
senger may have forty pounds of baggage free,
but must pay the rest. The passengers got in
the way of bribing the wcighers and conductors
so that nothing came in for extra baggage.
The managers Of the monopoly got over this
difficulty in curious way; they had this bag
gage stolen, and as the passenger could not
show receipt for it, he had no remedy. Thus
the disposition to have extra weight carried
gratis was efTectually overcome, honesty was
restored and the profits Of the monopoly made
fat again.
