VINO ARE Y"uR hRIsToCRArs.--Twenty
years ago this one butchered; that one made
candles; another sold cheese and butter, fourth
carried on distlery; another was contrac-
tor on canals; others were merchants and me-
chanics. They are acquainted with both ends
of socirty--as their children will be after them,
though it will not do to say so out loud. For
often you shall find that these toilin worms
hatch butterflies, and they live about year.
Death brings division of property; and it
brings new fanciers; the old agent is discharged
the young gentleman takes his revenues. aud
begins to travel--towards poverty, WHICH he
reaches before death--or his children do, if he
do not. So that in fact though there is sort
of moncyed rank, it is accessible to all; three
good seasons of cotton will send generation
of men up, ii score of years will bring them all

Thus society like tree, draws its sap from the
earth, changes it into leaves and blossoms,
spreads them abroad in great glory, sheds them
oil to fall back to the earth, again to mingle
with the soil, and at length to reappear in the
new trees and fresh garniture.

4 WARNING YolcE.-Ihe Hon. James X.
Paulding, one of the wisest and purest men of
this country, concludes one of his recent CON-
municaion to the Southern Press under the
signature of "a Northern man and friend to
the Unjon," WITH this solemn and emphatic
warning:
81 have lived almost four.score years; have
passed through every grade Of life, from that
of poor boy, self.cducated and self desendent,
to Il station among the highest of the laud,
which attained without the sacrifice of my
principles or my independence
During the whole of this long pilgrimage,
have been from habit and inclination conver
sant with books; and have thus added t. the
experience OF long life, the lessons OF the past
and from this experience and those lessons, l
am inevitably brought to the conviction that
the people of the South have now nothing to
depend Oh for their future safety, but nniicd ac'
ton in sell defence. BY this they will preserve
themselves in the Union. All other hope are
idle; all other expedicnts but daggcrs turned
against their own bosoms. They must assert
their own rights, and protect themselves, for
they have no other protectors. The brand of
fanaticism is applied to the homes of the people
and must be 9uenched now or never. Time

the resolution he offered in the meeting ofthe James Ri
