One More DaV Of Rest,

s& s .ssFx3M ~,
There i no more lightfsl feeling than
that we experience on the sabbath morn
ing, when we can walk forth and behold
the world, in its holiday apparel, and a
smile of satisfaction and of pleasure on
every countenance. A day Of rest for the
toiling millions that have to plod daily in
some one of the countless occupations, nec-
essary to keep the world bright and new |;
and to brighten death away. with the COM
forts of life. It is ordered that there shall
be incessent toll ~
'None are supinely good; through toll and
pain,
And various arts, the steep ascent we gain /;
This is the scene of combat, not of rest;
Mans is the laborious happiness at best;
On this side death his danger never cease,
His Joys are joys OF conquest, not of peace"
Our pleasures are the shadows of pain,
we know nothing OF one without keeping
the other constantly before our eyes.
It is with peculiar feelings that We re-
gard this day. 1t is the first Sabbath after
the great civil war, that elevates Pierce to
the Presidency, and right glad are we to
see the weapons buried with which it has
been fought. How completely does every
little country town become devided by
bigotry and fanaticism when the first blow
of a war Of opinion is struck The breach
widens until the whole community be-
come swallowed up in it, and each man is
ready to lay his hands in violence on his
neighbor. The love o. strife is inherent in
the human family. Factions in Politics
and Religion, must always exist. The
blind bigotry with which partizans, wage
their warfare, proceeds from the ig norance
of the multitude, and is fed by the corrupt
and selfish minds Of demagogues. IntelI-
gence in the masses, is all to secure us from
anarchy, under any form Of governments
in the republic it is the only safe guard
This should be the most important care of
the true patriot 1t is not necessary that
we should enlist orr lives in the service of
Of any political or religious faction; man
may be, and should be, gov erned by princi-
pies above mere party creeds and platforms
and the actions of his life will then bear
by the light of common sense
and reason

KILLING THE ELEPHANT. Not many years
ago there lived in this great city, an indivi-
dual by the name of Snllivan-Bll Sullivan.
Bill was noted individual for several per-
sonal peculiarities Not the least of his
qualities was, that he could drink more
whiskey than any of his neighbars-with-
out staggering. Bill, though large over
grown fellow, had very small voice like
a woman with peculiar twang to it that
made him appear as if singing, when enga-
ged in exciting conversation Bill, like
other mortals, was frequently given to very
violent excitement. at which times the mu-
sic Of his voice, and the roundness and smoo-
illness of his caths was the envy of the
whole neighborhood. 1t is to the malice
of his neighbors perhaps more than any
thing else that we are indebted for the fol-
lowing anecdote Of his life.
A nensgerie had just exhibited here, and
had pulled up stakes and was on its way TO
the town of Clinton The Elephant had
behaved himself very well in town, but
when he got out Oh the Montesina road, he
concluded to rebel against the feeble despot-
ism under which he was consenting, for pc
ace sake, to be marched round for show
Our "BilF' hearing that the Elephant had
got away from his keeper by testing him
in the air, and illing camel; armed him
self with an are handle and made at once for
the sceDe of battle; he did not meet the beast
however, and was thus robbed from adding
o ne more laurel to his crown of chivalrous
exploits A detachmentof armed men from
barracks at this place, under the command
of the late Maj. Cooper, after firing upon
the beast, succeeded in bringing him to
Terms.

How TO ADMoNrsH.-We must
consult the gentlest manner and soft
est reasons Of address; our advice
must not fall like violent storm,
bearing down and making those to
droop whom it is meant to cherish and
refresh 1t must descend as dew up
on the tender herb. or like melting
fakes of snow the softer it fall, the
longer it dwells upon, and the deeper
it sinks into the mind. Y If there are
few who have humilityto receive as
they ought, it is often because there
are as few who have the discretion to
convey it in a proper vehecle. and to
qualify the harshness and bitterness
Of reproof, against which corrupt ma.
ture is apt to revolt, by an artful mix
ture Of sweet and pleasant ingredients.
To probe the wound to the bottom,
with the boldness and resolution of
good spiritual surgeon, and yet with
all the delicacy and tenderness Of
friend, requires very dexterous and
mastery hand. An afable deport-
ment, and complaisance of behavior,
will disarm the most obstinate.
Whereas, if, instead Of pointing out
their mistake. we break out into un-
seemingly sallieds of passion, We cease
to have any influence. @

| have not the amount for the
year lS43, but believe il is larger
than that OF the succeeding year.
Here is another musical swell
steps up, up, and then down again;
and yet the gentleman from Massa-
ehusetts Mr.. Rantoul] advances an
argument designed 10 prove--if it
was designed 10 prove anything
that the importation of iron has been
diminished by free trade, and increas-
ed by protective tariff. By this
table, you will perceive the exports
of iron, from '43 to AT inclusive,
runs down from $4,000 tons 10 co.
600 tons, and that from AS to 81
inclusive, they run up from $4,000
to 34l, 900 tons. That is the impor-
tation OF iron alone.
The gentleman from Massachusetts,
says. that in 1910 we manufactured on
ly 295, 900 bales Of cotton, and that in
1850 we manufactured 641 GOO bales -
For what is that comparison madel
Why, TO prove that the tariff 846 has
increased the amount of the manufac-
ture ofdomestic cotton. Does the gen.
tleman believe that proposition? Can he
believe it? The tables will show him,
as have said, that the domestic manu-
facture ofcotton has fallen off 16O, 900
bales since 1846. Let him compare the
years 1916 and 1851, and he will see
that there is that difference in favor of
the former year, He says, that the do
mestic manufacture of cotton has quad
rupled within the last twenty years.
Suppose it has, what has effected the re
sultl The tariffs of 1898, 1882, and
1912. No thanks, for that result, to the
tariff of 1916. Its work has been all in
the opposite direction.
The same may be said of iron, the do
mestic manufacture of (which, says the
gentleman, has in the last twenty years.

tons. That is the work of our protec-
tive tariffs of 1923, 1889, and 1s49.-l

the importation from $4,000 tons in |
l646, TO 34l, 900 tons in 1851. How
can the gentleman, then. take any credit

The MoRMoNs.-The communica-
ton OF a Californian in the National
Entelligencer, placing full confidence
in the late report that the Mormons
have established an independent
government at Salt Lake, was ac-
companied by letter from Carson
Valley, California, published in the
Sacramento Times, Of the 10Th
January, announcing that the Nor
mons had arranged an expedition to
take possession Of that rich and
valuable district o. country, and to
hold il as a part OF Utah territory
and subject 10 Mormon rule. Con-
siderable excitement was caused by
the movement.
The letter says that the great body
of the Mormons is made up OF Eng
lish chartists,--men who have never
sworn fealty to this government, and
who have no attachments for il Of
any kind. --

ambition" The Paris correspondent

three months, If he would expose
himself at all. In this case God on

The following is from the cores

under date of the lIih instant.
This bill, which corresponds in its
main features with the "Maine Ii
quor law" is now before the House,
and when it will be disposed of, no
one can tell. There has already
been much spouting and skirmishing
and divers attempts at wit and smart
sayings among the members, Who
consider it a vexed question: sort

which they fear will flaw them up.
Their popularity is sadly at stake,

As specimen of the wit in which

Mr.. Bushnell proposed that they

Thou art oft subdued by tears;
In thy loneliness forsaken,
True hearted as the widowed dove,
Thou dost in my soul awaken
Deepest sympathy and love.
But 10 thee / am no stranger,
I oft have seen thy face before.
Yet may go, a weary ranger,
Meier to look upon it more;
Yet in many a scene of gladness,
Though unuet by other eyes,
That sweet face in all its sadness,
Will before mine own arise
Thy children, shall see thee fold them
To thy young and anguished breast,
Telling, what thou oft has told them,
That their father is at rest;
That his dust in silence sleepeth,
But his spirit dwelleth where
Tears no more the fond eye weepeih,
And that they shall meet him therel
May they be light to cheer thee
In the path thou tread'st alone;
May they solace, love, revere thee
Him replacing who is gonel
So may'st thou, thy griefs forgetting.
Loved and loving, onward move,
Till with him thou art regretting,
Thou shalt meet in Heaven above.
