FALSE sHAME.-some people appear to be
ashamed to have it known that they have to
"work for living" But they are not ashamed
of the pride that originates shame, yet their
pride to them greater disgrace than the great
est degree of virtuous poverty and honest labor.
No greater evil could befal most young men and
women than to be relieved of the necessity for
labor, as the records of criminal court, prisons
and poor-houses show. The chances are much
greater, that young men who are from necessity
compelled to toll for living, will grow up and
become respected members of society, than
those who grow up in idleness, with fortune at
their disposal, While the former are engaged
in earning reputation and competency, the lat,
ter are scattering their substance in idleness and
sloth S ,a.4a ~ .

count Of the progress Of "women's

"They were tunneling the Apprentices

affair for Sardinia. and armies of women
were engaged in making these tunnels!--
With a pannier of peculiar construction,
made to fit the back, they entered the
tunnel at one side and emerged laden on
the other sice; bent down like beasts Of
burden, they followed each other in rows
to the end Of the embankment, where
each turned round: there a man drew a
pin. which let the bottom fall out, and
the stone, gravel, and clay fell oct of the

working in this way at this bes,ial en-
ploy Lime-kilns in great number
line the roads, and the women were
quarrying the stones. carrying them to
the kilns, and sending away the lime"

Representative Of all the States, and to

schools. -.
The Speaker announced the pending
Question lobe that of laying on the
table.
Mr.. Bennett raised q point Of order,
insisting that his motion to refe, the bill
TO the Committee on Public Lands took
precedence.
The Speaker overruled the point.
Mr.. Jones, Of Tennessee, withdrew
his motion 10 lay on the table, at the
request Of Mr.. McMullen, who desired
to know If Mr.. Bennett would except
of the following amendment. shat the
Committee on Public Lands inquire into

WISE" This land question. he said,
had given rise TO great deal of discus.
sion. He desired the subject referred to
the Committee on Public Lands. When
they make report, he thought there
would be no difficulty in defeating the
bill.
MIR. Bennett had no objection 10 the
instructions, but as this bill embraced
matters of great magnitude, he hoped il
would be referred. He said, this bill
is not precisely that of the last session
although !. asserts the principle that all
the States have an equal in,eres, in the
public lands. There are now forty OF
fifty applications for lands, to De used
for railroad purposes. before the Com.
miliee on Public Lands. Lands are
granted for almost all purposes. to the
Western States, and We, those grants are
eonidered constitutional but they are

Of the Treasury, the public lands hav,
cost much more than we have ever re
ceived from them.
Mr.. Clingman thought Mr.. McMul
len's proposition an evasive one, ant
{ suGgested that he modify it. so as t.
csose the Committee to inquire into IN,
propriety of putting i. out Of the power
Of Nongress to grant lands for railroads
and all other purposes.
Mr.. McMullen was of opinion hi
resolution covered that point by TIT
MEASURE. He proposed all the Sta,e
should share alike in the public lanes.
Mr.. Bennett, resum'ng, said his bill
did not give as much land to the old al
70 the New States, but asserted the gen
eral principal that al are interested in tn,
