Tha Violata Of Iiteratnre.


First among those sweet flowers Of oul
spring-time, let the literature for children be
named. What moral the mere name con-
ve. The idea of books for children, writ
ten to meet their capacity and suit their "a,
lures, is familiar idea to us but less than
century since it was novelty, charming
from is motives but uncertain of acceptance.
Poetry sang its songs for them and every
mother that had heard Of Watts, caught his
sweet strains, and breathed them gently forth
with the sacred words of Our Father, who
art in Heaven" Then came short and hum
Bile stofies-rose leaves with dew-drops. And
then, books, and finally, magazines and pa
pers-alI for the children. How complete is
the provision now No literature is SO full
and perfect. It's aim, indeed, is not wide, or its
means vast; but taking its scope and purpose,
we can find nothing better or fuller done.
Sometimes there are injudicious tales-fright-
full things-that come back in cradle dreams
and work up the black midnight into horrid
phantoms; but bad books there are none.
But not alone for children is literature dis
charging its offices. Manifold is its work
and multiplied its instruments. Here are the
insane with their literature-the blind with
their printing presses. Victims of misfor-
tune but sacred to Providence; they engage
the sympathies of benevolent minds, and
mercy reaches them through human hands
The sentiment of spirit, immortal spirit is
uppermost in every kind Of movement and
while physical nature in their cases is cared
for, the higher and nobler self is yet more
tenderly regarded. What comfort for their
weary hours! What joy in this long, deep,
silent sorrow Earth can do but little for
them, but how watchful is Heaven! The
most beautiful things Of earth are always
connected with Heaven in some way or 9th
er. Had we no sky, where would be the
dew-the gorgeous cloud-the token rain
bowl It requires armament, with stars
and sun, to give us these; and 50, if we had
no Christianity, the afflicted children Of life
would languish on in bitter loneliness, and
share only the companionship of grief
A few more ascending steps in the scale of
intellectual benefcence, and we see the poor
brought within the reach of literature NJ

q statesman in the camp; Clay captain in
the senate. Clay had early come before the
people as an orator aud politician; and it was
natural for him to continue to labor, in that
field when his country, at that time more than
at any former period, needed his services in
the public councils. Its known, however.
that at so high rate did Madison appreciate
his talents for military command, that he was
about to tender him the appointment of com
mander of the forces, and was only withheld
from the proffer, by the call for his services at
the head of the war party in Congress. 1t is
impossib TO know the result of such an ap-
pointment upon the public Interests, or upon
the personal fortunes of Mr., Clay. But it
were falsifying of all the calculations which
men may max of the futuEe, to suppose that
such rare abilities, and such unsurpassed en-
ergies would have been other than successfully
employed upon a theatre to which theyWere
seemingly SO signally adapted; and it needed
but the prestige of the camp to have crowned
popularity and rounded out fame, before
which competition and rivalry must have hung
their diminished heads. But this was fated
not to be. The laurels of the hero were not
to be blended in the fadeless wreath of orator,
philaHthropist, statesman, jurist, cabinet minis
ter and diplomatist. Fortune could scarcely
be reproached with injustice when, lavishing
upon this faVorite son the graces and accom-
plishments which lend a charm to social life,
and all the qualifications and successes of eve
ry department of civil service. she refused to
add the trophies of the soldier. Jackson's
spirit, if not more active, was less fitted for
the council-hall than the battlefield. His
was not the elaborate eloquence of the Senate.
Swords, not words, were has arguments. His
was the true Demosthenic eloquence of action.
He had neither the temper nor the abilities to
parley. He could speak terselY, vigorously,
knowingly, but his words were the brief words
of command. Action followed speech, as thun-
der the lightning. He had no patience for the
solid forms, the dull routine, the prosy speech
making, the timid platitudes, or the elaborate
ratiocinations of legislative debate. Sudden
and quick in opinion as in quarrel; heart, soul
and mind all mingled in his conclusions; and
the energy that conceived purpose, started it
into overt act. With him, to. think and to do
was not so much two things as one."

9th. Resoloed, That we congratulate the
people of this State on the final triumph,
long and disastrously delayed by political
hostility to the Whig policy, which seeks the
speedy completion of the State canals, and
upon the restoration of the credit of the
State which has followed the economical and
judicious efforts of a Wing administration
of its finances, and that its executive power
should no longer rest in hands which have
proved harmless for good and efficient only
in thwarting and defeating the popular will.
10th. RESOLVED, That the indications of a
purpose on the part of the champions of sla-
very, made manifest through their recogni-
zed representatives and countenaneed by the
organs of the federal administration, to re-
store the African slave trade is sufficient to
excite apprehension and alarm in the mind
of every friend of humanity, and that the
Wings of New York take this timely oppor-
tunity to declare that they will resist, at
every hazard, and to the last extremity, every
effort to drag down this free republic by such
a step from the proud position which it holds
among the civilized and Christian nations of
the earth as the first to prohibit that inhu-
man traffic and to brand it as piracy.
18th. Resoloed, That the executive depart
ment Of the federal government ought no
longer to be vested in the hands of men who
WELD its patronage and influence for the
the aggrandisement of slavery and the ex-
tension of its political power and that the
Wings of New York will labor to the utmost
to effect the overthrow of the administration
which has proved SO reckless to duty, and is
regardless of the rights and interests of the
Union, and to elect President with whom
fidelity to freedom shall not be a perpetual
for the public service.

tumn's robe of many Colors, the huea Of the
violet; the lily, and The rose, The silvery foam
of the rivulet, the emerald Of the river, and
the purple Of the ocean, would have been
alike unknown. The rainbow would have
been but pale streak in the grey sky, aud
dull vapors would have canopied the sun,
instead Of the clouds, which il the dyes Of
flaming brilliancy curtain his rising up and
going down. Nay, there would have been
no distinction between the blood Of the chill
dren, the flush Of health, the paleness Of de-
cay, the hectic Of disease, aud the lividness
Of death. There would have been an unva-
ried, unmeaning leaden hue where we now
see the changing and expressive countenance,

FEMALE BEAUTY.-The city Of Constant
nople, as seen by the Bosphorts, is said by
travellers to be most imposing and beauti-
fnl sight. The tourist at . distance, as be
gazea upon itslofty domes and creacent-crown-
ed minarets, revels in imagination over the
beauties which a closer inspection shall re-
veal. He hastens with ardor to feast his
senses upon the wonders Of the Mohammedan
capital.
But nearer approach dispels the illu-
sion; for travellers Informs us that the city
is dirty, crooked, i'll shapen mass that its
low, buildings, its narrow, cheerlesa thor
oughfares, are far from interesting, and the
visitor retires IN disgust.
It is thus with female beatty. 1t catches
the eye, and challenges the admiration. But
if a more intimate acquaintance shows that
it is not associated with goodness and truth,
with good sense and a good heart, admira-
ton is turned into disgust, and the sensible
admirer retires with as much haste as the
tourist from the sublime city Of the Sultan.

How TO PRospER IN BUsINEss-In the
first place, make up your mind to accomplish
whatever you undertake; decide upon some
particular employment and persevere in it
All difficulties are overcome by diligence and
assiduity.
Be not afraid to work with your own
hands, and diligently, too. "A cat in gloves
catches no mice"
Attend to your own business and never
trust it to another:
"a pot that belongs to many is i'll stirred
and worse boiled"
Be frugal. "That which will not make a
pot viii make pot lid"
Be abstemious. "Who dainties love shall
beggar prove"
Rise early. "The sleeping fox catches nc
poultry"
Treat every one with respect and civility
q Everything is gained and nothing lost By
courtesy Good manners insure success.
Never anticipate wealth from any Other

THE PHILOSOPHY OF A DYING KISS

THE PHILOSOPHY OF "A DYING KISS.
"IRat I shoaszd kiss HIM" The pathos
which belongs to such mode of final vale
diction, is dependent altogether for its effect
upon the contrast between itself and the pre-
vailing tone Of manners among the society
where such an incident occurs. In some
parts of the Continent, there prevailed, dn-
ring the last century, mostefeminate prat
tice among men of exchanging kisses as a
regular mode of salutation, on meeting after
any considerable period of separation. Un
der such standard of manners, the farewell
kiss of the dying could have no special ef-
feet of pathos. But IN nations SO inexorably
manly as the English, sny act, which for the
moment seems to depart from the usual stan
dard of manliness, becomes exceedingly inn
pressive, whenitrecalls the spectators thoughts
to the mighty power which has been able to
work such revolution-the power Of death
in its final agencies. The brave man has
ceased to be, in any exclusive sense, a man:
he has become an infant in his weakness he
has become woman in his craving for ten
derness and pity. Forced by agony, he has
laid down his sexdal character and retains
only his generic character of human crea-
ture And he that is manifest among the
bystanders, is also the readiest to sympathize
with this affecting change. Ludlow, the par
liamentary general Of horse, man of iron
nerves, and peculiarly hostile to all scenical
displays of sentiment mentions, nevertheless,
in his Memoirs, with sympathizing tender
ness, the case of a cousin-that, when lying
naortally wounded on the ground, and feel
ing his life to be rapidly wearing away, en-
treated his relative to dismount 'sand kiss
him." Everybody must remember the i'm
mortal scene on board the Victory, at 4 p. NJ,
on October q, 1906, and the farewell Kiss
me, Hardy" of the mighty Admiral. And
here again, in the final vale1iction of the sto-
ical Kant, we read another indication, speak
ing oracularly from dying lips of natures the
sternest, that the last necessity-that call
which survives all others in men of noble
and impassioned hearts-is the necessity OF
love, is the call for some relenting, caress,
such as may stimulate for a moment some
phantom image of female tenderness in an
hour when the actual presence of females is
impossible.-[ De Qainceg's Essay on Kant
