U@The following, from the New York Times,
is sensible to the point, and will suit other lati-
tudes than New York:
Who can explain the phenomenon? Why is
ii that when man has made himself rich Ly q
course of honest physical industry, his children
should blush to be thought laLorers in the same
line! Or if he has only acquired competence,
and is respected by them, why should they feel
10th to confess to the necessity Of the same
cmployments? The Indians child is never
ashamed to confess that his sire once wandered
through the same forests that he now roves in
and brought down the bounding stag with his
arrow. The son Of the warrior never deems it
discreditabIe that his parent was weary with
long watches and faint with forced marches
The sons of those who earned their bread by
laborng with the pen, are not often ashamed
that their fathers spent long nights and days
in summoning into being thoughts for other
mems reading, and opinions for the guidance
of their generation. But brain work is no more
honorable per Sc than handiwork. 1t is no less
toilsome and wearing, to labor at The desk, to
deal out goods at the counter, to prove every
musty paper for the fees Of client, to run at
the back of every sufferer, and to deal out al
ternate promises and threat to the wicked and
the good, than to be ones own master through
out the day, and to sustain heaIthful state of
body and mind, and earn an easy livelihood by
physical labor

vance or to rcccde. Even such emotions, Mr.
PRESIDENT might now well swell the American
bosom We have reached the hillside from
whose top the future of America may be found.
But who can ascend it withouta feeling of doubt
and terror? Is it to be the America which ali
of US loved to paint in our boyish days, Free
happy, and prosperous, inculating by its pre-
cepts and enforcing by its example deep love
OF law and order, offering a refuge and asylum
to the fugitive from oppression, cuItiyating with
asslduous care the arts Of peace, and illustra-
ting all the mild beauties of Christianity? Or
is it to be that America which "progress,"
manifest destiny" and "overruIing necessity"
arc now seeking to make it, where freedom will
be lost amid the clash of arms, and the wall of
every good spirit will rise above crushed and
broken hope of mans ncapacty to govern HIM
self! Sir, it is in our action that the answer
must be found. Our country is at stake and
he who loves it os he ought should pause and
ponder long and we'll before tampering, in any
way, with so high and holy a trust" NJ

Ehe French Empress.

The Paris correspondent of the Courier des
ElaIs Unis (New York; writes:
"The young Countess is represented as ap-
| pearing thoughtful and wearied with anxiety
She declared that for eight days she had hardly
closed her eyes, so agitated was she by the an
ticipation Of the great event which was to make
her an Empress of The French. She was fati-
gued with giving directions for the various pre-
Parations of dress, etc. 1t is now asserted that
this marriage has been long contemplated. 1t

When Louis Napoleon was nominated Presi-

see, and the Prince was assiduous in his atten-
tions, and formally sought her hand. But po~
litical affairs were then so unsettled, that the
friends of Louis Napoleon advised him to wait
until his power was more fully confirmed. He
consented, but entreated the Countess de Teba
not to engage herself-at least without noffy~
ing him; "for, in short time," said he, 81 trust
thai shall be able to offer something more
than today" When the Countess de Montiio
and her daughter left Paris, Louis Napoleon, in
bidding adieu to the young Countess, said:

Mile. de Montijo, 81 will keep it; for if you are
so unfortunate, you must remember that you
have in Spain home which will be always op-
en- to you, and in that home is the best of your
friends" The ladies' did not return to France
until May, 1852. Louis Napoleon was about
10 become Emperor. 1t is unnecessary to say
with what sensation the Countess was received
1t the Elysee. Louis Napoleon was much
moved at meeting her, and said, with his pecu-
lar grace: "It is long time since | have seen
