or mere Party Paper, but absolutely free

everyday life

PROSPECTUS OF THE DAILY NATIONAL ERA.


4 shall issue, on the I'd day Of January en-
suing, the DArLy NATIONAL Era, Political
and Literary Newspaper.
In Politics, il will advocate the Rights Of
Man, and the Equality Of Rights, and oppose
whatever violates or tends to violate them,
whether this be Involuntary Personal Scrvi
tude, Civil Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism,
Class Legislation, the Scl6shness Of Capital,
the Tyranny Of Combination, the Oppression OF
q Majority, or the Exactious OF a Party
IL viii hold no fellowship with the Wing
and Democratic organisations believing that
the main issues on which they have been ar
raycd against each other are obsolete or settled,
and that they are now chiefly used by the Sec
tional Interest of Slavery, TO impair the love OF
Liberty natural to the American mind, and TO
subiurase the American People 10 its rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, il will yet
svmpathize with those Of their adherents who
are honestly seeking through them to advance
tae Observation-Disclosures OF tho country, although
it must believe that thoy have not chosen the
better way.
IL will be n supporter OF the independent
Dcmocracs', which holds that the Truths OF the
Declaration nofIndcpendcnce of are practical, that
in their light the Constitution Of the United
States is to be interpreted; that TO them the
laws and institutions and usages of the country
should be conformcd--a Party whose motto
il Union, not for tho sake Of Union, but for the
sake OF Freedom aud Progress; and Loic not
for tho sake Of Law, but Tor the protection Of

Re Economical.

The man who commences early In his
life to practice economy i always a success
full man. Those who take care Of cents
soon have dollars The small, unnecessary
expenditures are what keep 70 many men
poor, and .s toll oil their lives It is really
astonishing to find how few men and women
think it dufy to be economical when the
world goes smoothly and prosperously with
them. While it is rare to find a person
who would not arisA to be rich. it is easy to
find persons with abundant opportunities.
who will not strive to be independent and
prepared for the little vicissitudes of life.
Some love display, and will even run in
debt to crafty their foolish passion 9th
ers 60 or the principle Of living while they
can. and banish all thoughts Of bad times,
sickness or old age. Others again. contract
bad or expensive habits. and rather than
make an attempt to get rid of them. sub
init to their tyranny. and deceive them
selves with the plea that they are necessary
to the full enjoyment of life.
But the full enjoyment Of life consists in
living wisely and nationally.
Transient pleasures can be purchased too
dearly, and for hours of riotous enjoyment,
days and months Of misery and pain may
be the fruits.
He will enjoy life most who moderates his
desires and economies the rewards of his
toll Tie will be free from apprehensons
and will have less regrets to disturb his hap
pier moments. No one may anticipate that
his path through life will be lighted BY con-
tinual sunshine. This year may be pros
porous one; the next may be the re-
verse. The mechanic who now has abun-
dant work and good wages cannot tell wheth-
er these will be permanent. He knows
not how soon his health may fail, and bis
little family be without provider. And
SO it is Of every one who earns bis bread by
his own labor 1t is therefore, their duty
to be economical while all is going wei
with them No matter how small may be
the saving each week. it will amount to a
pleasant little sum at the end of the year.
The habit Of saving too. when once ac-
quired will work wonders. Economy has
most salutary influence upon the charac-
ter of men and families. Il is a promoter
of all the virtues 1t encourages industry,
overcomes evil temptations. and produces
feelings and independence Of self-rcspect.
Washington telegraph., 1854-03-01
The Newspaper Press.

Journalism. to attain its end, should un.
understand and preserve its proper charac-
ter. 1t should be cautious. and yet courage
Gus; circumspect. yet independent; acting
out its own honest convictions, and intent
only on its own honorable objects. There
iHay be times Of passion, fanaticism. and
wild excitement, when the honest and brave
Journalist must bear his bosom to the storm,
and bid defahee to every menace and dam
ger He may be called on to advocate ha.
ted and atjured truth. and combat popular
error, periling character and substance in
obeying conscientious and honest convictions.
while he cheerfully bides bis time for more
impartial hearing and justcr public judgment.
Worthless and vile is The journal. too ignor-
ant to take positions. or once having taken
them. ever ready. from timidity or sordid
calculations. to abandon them. Journalism
lowers itself when it seeks merely party
ends in politics or sectarian ends in religion
1t disgraces itself when it deals in coarse
personalities. aiming to murder character,
but not to mend it; and crush an opponent
or party. but not to put them right. Pa
triotism should prompt. and not party
Christianity. and not sect.

The decision Of the Supreme Court in

in Court at Lebanon. yesterday, the Sheriff
was directed to discharge William Kissane.
whose conviction for forgery was on an in

of Dana. Immediately on his discharge
Kissane was re-arrested by Deputy Sheriff

1.-THE NEW PRomErHEus."

This Jue desprit is from the pen of Mr.. CARLOS
D. STUART, and is copied from the New York
Mirror of which paper he is an assistant editor
Les all non-printer- r-paying readers lay the objur.
CATION it contains seriously to heart:
Sadder than he, who. bound on Caucasus,
Doled to the gods an1 made internal fuss
Swearing himself by ptiless storms ill-used;
By sunshine scorched, and vultnre beaks abused!
Sadder than he, and soJer from his stripes
Won by his wickedness-and pains and gripes,
The new Prometheus of this latest age
Who fails to pay the Printer for the page
He daily reads! No sum OF wretchedness,
Which our poor Saxon language express
Is now, nor can be meted on his head,
Awake, asleep, at table or in bed;
And that his pains be keener- sesen-fold,
Till every Printer whom he owes, shall hold
Good record on his books that he has paid
All debts and dues-with interest o'er-laid-
We hope and pray that govt may curse his feet
Catarrh his head and rheumatism beat
Drowning the clamor of unpitied groans-
Perpetual tattoo on his skuIking bones
Dyspepsia, nightmare and tfer horrid train,
Keep constant riot in their heart and brain,
Till all are lessoned by his sore distress
To square accounts with Printers and the Press!

Hints on Beauty.

We have been much struck with the fol-
lowing passage. written BY Mrs. Jameson,
which we cordially recommend to the atten-
;ion OF our readers. Let the ladies observe
the following rules In the morning use
pure water as 4 preparatory ablution; after
which they must abstain from all sudden
gusts Of passion. particularly envy, as that
gives the skin sallow paleness. 1t may
seem triAing to speak Of temperance. YET
this must be attended to, both in eating and
drinking, if they would avoid pimplcs. In.
stead of rouge. let them use moderate exer
else, which will raise natural bloom in
their cheek, ininitable by art. Ingenious
candor and unaffected good humor will give
an openness to their countenances that will
make them universally agreeable. A desire
Of pleasing will add fire to their eyes. and
breathing the air Of sunrise will give their
lips vermillion hue That amiable vivac-
ity which they now possess may be highly
preserved. if they would avoid late hours
and card-playing. as well rs novel reading
by candle-light. but not otherwise for the
first gives the face drowsy. disagreeable
aspect the second is the mother Of wrink-
les; and the third is fruitful source Of
weak eyes and salow complexion. A
white hand is very desirable ornament !;
and hand can never be white unless it be
kept clean nor is this all, for if young
lady excels her companions in this respect,
she must keep her hands in constant motion.
which will occasion the blood to circulate
freely, and have wonderful effect. The
motion recommended is working at her
needle. Frightening the house. and making
herself as useful as possible in the perform
ancc of all domestic duties
