isThe destiny Of the slave population in tho
United States is towards Africa. The second
question is answered By the reply to the first
| Looking to the ends of ultimate colonization,
and what he considers the true policy Of the
States at home. Mr. Wise would Prohibit By
law the future emigration Of the free co,ored
population from the slave to the free States
He expresses the opinion that marked revolu
ton would have been produced if slave labor
had been permitted in California He thinks
Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Missouri,
| Tennessee and Kentucky, and perhaps the cot.
ton and sugar plantations would have been emp.
tied of black laborers, to work the gold mines.
This, says Mr.. Wise, "Would not hare diifiused
stare po,cer, but would rqtter hare concentrated
the s!ares ak, comparatively, in one State and
thas hare r7eokened its federal strength in he
Union; and fire gears o. their tho y0tG
mines acOu1ahave enriched masters so Hat Mes
could more ably emancipate them at the end Of
btat time, thar they could no,c sell them for a
full market price and when emancipation,
there was all Polynesia-al the isles ofthe Pa
cifc-before them for colonization in the pleas
ATTEST place for them on earth
Therefore, Mr.. Wise thinks fanaticism de-
feated its own ends in excluding slavery from
California. Mr.. Wise denounces the military o
usurpation of Gen. Riley, who, from the camp
proclaimed territorial government, &c. To
the third question, he replies that the slave has
no natural right to escape, for his social are his
natural rights, and the law Of his social being
forbids his chance to escape. To the forth
question he answers, that there is not better
provided body of Iaborers on earth than the
slaves, and that slavery nowhere in the United
States is severe. To the fifth question lie gives
an emphatic negative. And be adds: Eve
can free them as fast, and faster, than they can
be colonized in some land Of better promise to
them"
MI. Wise, concludes his capital letter, by in
voking DR.. Adams to put Boston philanthropy
at removing the beam out of its own eye, of
furnishing vessels and cargoes to the Brazilian
African slave trade; to teach the phianthropists
to be charitable to men of their own race and
blood; to obey the laws and put down mobs.

"SAvE NE FROM MY FRIENDs' The Albany
Argus, the leading Democratic paper of New
York, one ofthe strongest advocates ofthe elec-
ton of Mr.. Pierce, but now Hard Democratic
paper and one of the severest opponents Of the
Administration, takes occasion to give the
President and Cabinet the following compli-
mentary notice:
"With distracted Cabinet and mutual re-
ordinations attending every private discussion
ofpublic affairs-without nerve in the Execu-
tive, and with advisers who possess neither the
confidence nor the respect OF any portion of the
people-with party which dares not be re-
sponsible for its acts-and a policy which ex-
hausts itself in the details of petty post office
appointments Administration must 20

fasifed expectations, ridiculous pretenses and

HOW PAT LEARNED TO MAKE A FIRE

'Can you make fire, Pat?" asked gentle
man of a newly arrived son of Erin.

same, yer honor. to my cost sure.-When |

The Power OF AssoCIATIoN.--We all re-
collect the anecdote of proud boy, who boast
ed that his father had horse, when his COM
panion, of poorer parentage, replied, exulting-
ly, "And my father has a horse and Sdac too"
A short time ago, a handsome little fellow
between three and four years of age, was asked
whether ne did not want to go to church. he
said "no. " for he got so tired of hearing 'the
man talk, meaning the preacher of the ser
mon. "But," continued his aunt they've got
pretty organ there-music." The Juveniles
eyes frightened at this intelligence, when be
innocently asked, "is they got monkey tool"
Snch is the force of association.

A CHEAP BARoMErER-A correspondent of
the Country Gentleman writes as follows "For
some years have been in the habit of watch
ing the gum in my wife's camphor bottle, which
stands in our bedroom. And when not disturb
ed it makes capital weather glass. 1t ans
wers my purpose as well as a barometer that
would COS. me from $25 to $50. When there
is to be change of weather from fair to windy
or wet the thin flakes of the gum will rise up,
and sometimes when there was to be great
storm, have seen them at the top.-When
they settle down clearly at the bottom then we
are sure of grand weather. Any farmer who
will watch his wife's camphor bottle for sea-
son will never have occasion to watch the birds
or locust for indications of q change in the
weather.

The March Of Tine--Voice Of an Old siaA.
By GLADIUS.

When youthful time began to roll,
This earth from chaos sprung,
Then man became living soul,
While Angels sweetly sung.
Ten thousand beauties then did spring,
All over this blooming earth,
Then all Gods works did sweetly sing,
The glory of their birth.
Fair Eden's joys no tongue could tell,
The walks SO smooth and nice,
That was the place where man did dwell.
In lovely Paradise.
As time rolled on--poor Adam fell,
And with him all his race,
They all were doomed to land in hell,
Till Jesus offered grace.
-nld-4i.A- --4:n -i---4E4s ;ts e.r....o-d Aight,--
Without moments STAY,
once was young and had good sight,
But time has made me gray.
Time makes the mighty ocean roar,
With waves upon its breast;
Time rolls its tide from shore to shore;
Without moments rest.
The march Of time brings day and night,
All over the earth and sea,
Nations, lie buried in its flight;
1t soon will bury me.
Ny poor old bark's been sailing long,
Way down the gulf of time,
Ny friends and kindred all are gone,
And / am left behind.
Young men are sailing on with me,
Along times rugged tide,
All bound for vast eternity
As fast as time can glide.
My dear young friends now as we HE,
l hear the breakers roar,
Teach us, 0 God, how we must die,
To land at Heavens door.
Old time itself will scease to roll,
When Gabriel's trump shall sound,
Then God will raise each sleeping soul,
And judge the nations, round,
Then Christ will call his servants home,
In Heaven for to dwell,
The wicked then will upwards groan;
Amidst the woes of hell.

DRY TINE SIXTY YEARS AGo.-In O'Reil
1ey's History of Western New York, DR.. Gov.
entry, who settled in 1890 with his family, at
the outlet of Seneca Lake, furnishes a sketch
ofthe seasons and the health of this region for
a series years. He says that "in 1895 no
rain fell either in June or July, the water in
the lake lowered more than foot, the heavens
seemed on fire, the earth scorched, and the air
saturated with pestilence." In 1916, the cold
year, the season was Gerry healthful

MANNERs.-Good manners add lus.re to vir-
ture. Their object is to oblige, and pay proper
attention to others. In order, therefore, to in.
spire children with such disposition, we should
endeavor earl to infuse the spirit of that pre-.
cept-"honor all men, and teach them that
kindness and civility are due to all; that q
naughty, positive, contemptous manner is not
only illbred, but unchristian; and especially to
be avoided in our behavior to servants, or
those in inferior stations in life. To these they
should never be suffered to behave with haugh-
tiness, nor even be allowed to speak with a
commanding tone of voice; as it will have di-
rect tendency to cherish pride and selfimpor-
tance.
1t is also. necessary to guard children against
vulgar habits as loud talking or laughing
Whispering in company does not comport with
good manners and mimickry is the favorite
amusement of low minds Speaking when it
interrupts reading or conversation, and the
habit of contradicting others, are improper, and
should be checked.
At meals, children of suitable age should be
admitted to the table with the family, when
convenient. This privilege will improve their
manners and tend to prevent bashfulness and
awkwardness.

A Silent ScOurge.

Never was the near future of political parties
in this country so seethng with anxious hopes,
and doubts, and fears; never SO pregnant with
inexplicable terrors to time-servers and place
men; never so ominous to demagogues and
hucksters in the field of politics as now. From
the taproom to the Senate Chamber, wherever
party organization has heretofore stalked, conf
dent and defiant-wherever the edct of the bul.
appointm ents, and ruled with a rude, yet iron
hand, the rank and file of the people-led like
sheep to the Slaughtered the ballot-bo all is
dismay aud trembling. The mouthing impa-
dence, so brazen and frow beating until now, is
as suddenly hushed as though the finger of de9.h
was on its lips-no grim skeleton ever brought
such stiffness TO an EgERtiap.e aisss
open to hear, ,alf eyes are starting TO see, and all
tongues are questioning the course Of the silent
scourse that has risen up in the land, invisible
and secret as sleeping lightning, to rebuke and
punish the traders and traitors who have so long
corrupted the national franchise and brought
the country to shame--and nigh to ruin
Who is it-what is it-and where is it-this
scourge, so potent and purifying? WLo conceiv.
ed it-who evoked it-and how aud where is it
to end, if, indeed, it end at all? Mighty and
mysterious scourge! preceded by no rumbling,
yet it StiTs all the land, bursting like a sudden
earth quake wherever its fires are called to
purge Freedoms palladium, and make the
ballot box what the trainers of the Republic in
tended,

The Tennessee Governor and Judge who
have been complmenting each other with spec
ical labor, to show that they have not forgotten
their original occupations, get some hard rubs
through the press. Among the remarks upon
their "barter trade" is the following from the
New York Atlas:
Governor johnson was once taylor! In
deed! We are well apprised of that fact, for
we recollect that he, good many years ago,
placed patch on the seat of pair of yellow
kerseymere britcheS we had-we took them off
and sat in our shirt on a raw and gusty day
in Knoxville, Tennessee, whilst be was doing
it-and be charged dollar for the job. And
then the Job was such terrible G0tch! We
shall never forget it. If Governor johnson,
who has been in the Legislature of Tennessee
and eight years in Congress, is not a better
Governor than he was a tailor, we shall not be
very apt to applaud him. This thing of snobs
showing off through their original occupation
is especially ridiculous"
The New Orleans Picayune, remarking on
the same affair, says;
"Judge Pepper has made an iron shovel with
his own hands, which he presented to Gov.
johnson; and Gov. johnson, in return, cuts and
makes a sack coat, with his own hands, which
he sends to Judge Pepper. The whole affair
is piece of transparent humbug. 1t is very
creditable for the blacksmith and tailor that,
by system of selftraining, they have become
men OF high consideration in public life; but. it
becomes mere puerility when they pause in
their avocations to play at mechanic again, in
order to recall the public attention to their for
mer condition and make people cape at their
elevation. 1t is honorable for a tailor to be-
come a Governor or a blacksmith Judge, and
the world is ready enough to recognise the
mental vigor which produced these effects; but
for Governor and Judge to play at mechanic,
to create amusement or wonder among the
multitude, is piece of bufoonery which is
hardly respectable"

Keep it Before the Peonle.

| The following remarks, circulating in several
papers, are suggestive of many considerations,
which desire for the advancement of the
cause ofrelgious truth induces Us to promotes
/. Keep it before the people That, next to
the pulpit, the press is the most potent instru
ment of good to the Church and the world in
operation at the present day.
2. Keep it before the people-That the
cheapest, easiest, and most interesting medium
of conveying to family information on & vast
variety of important Subjects is through the
wcll-stored columns of a judicously conducted
paper.
3, Keep it before the people-That the head
Of family who refuse to subscribe and pay for
good paper on account of its cost, is "penny-
wise and pound foolish" as he not only keeps
ssss4s Of many ri1ings rney ougiTr
to know, which cannot be acquired in any other
way, but he excludes himself from information
of practical utility, oftentimes contained in
single number; which may be worth to him
many times as much as the subscription for the
whole year.
4. Keep it before the people-That the pre-.
paral:on and issue of every number of paper
is attended with considerable labor and cost,
and that it is something more than meanness
for man to make practice of borrowing and
reading paper for which other people have had
the honor and honesty to subscribe and pay.
5. Keep it before the peop!e--That every
well conducted paper is worth hundred fold
more than what it costs in its influence on in
dividual and public intelligence; morality and
religion; and that they are true patriots who
conscontiously and literally support vigorous
and enlightened press.
