Not to myself live
The whispering sunbeam seems to say,
As from the gladdening fount of day
II swiftly wings It's cheerful way
This is my Beings great design
No selfish wills that light confine,
But on the starry world shine.
Not to ourselves we live
The starry hosts in concert sing:
When shadowy eve begins TO spring,
To others then we freely bring
The light that we receive.
And blending then the cheerful ray
We come at silent close of day,
To watch the hours Of night away.
Not to ourselves we live
The blooming flowers bring sweet reply,
To bless the earth like stars more nigh,
Than those which cheer the distant sky,
Our life Of bloom we give.
To others ears, at others feet,
We breathe to shed our fragrance sweet,
That smiles of heaven and earth may meet

Business Maiters.-Deplorabe account are given
ofthe state OF mercantile affairs in San Francisco,
from the excessive developments OF mer chandIse,
which have involved, in common ruin, the prudent
and ca calculating, with the rash and thoughess who
have been the authors Of the mischief.
As regards business, all may be comprehended in
single sentence--unversal depression, runous pri.
ces, immense sacrifices constantly submitted 10 by
forced sales at auction, at prices not half covering
the cost Of importation; merchants greatly depre
ed and almost discouraged and dishedrtened. Bank
ers are alarmed at their small deposts-no curren-
cy-nO coin to make even their bank exchanges.
Owing to the drought, very lutte gold dust comes
in for remittances, upon which to base their ex-
changes.
The accumulation Of merchandise is great, and
warehouses are bending under their immense
burdens, and occasionally one falls down. Our auc.
ton rooms crowded with entire Invoices Of good
staple goods, ordered sold on arrival bv eastern
owners, sold TO pay ieights or storage, advances,

The Missouri Compromise and Nebraska


We think the opponents of the Nebraska bill
should be little cautious in regard to the reason for
their opposition, at least, those who oppose all con
promises from principles ought to be careful how they
rest their opposition upon the ground that It is re-
peal Of The Missouri Compromise. They may argue,
perhaps, properly, that it is violation on the part
OF the south, OF an implied condition or violation
OF a contract which they proposed in lS20-it is
with them violation of their phghied faith, and an
act Of injustice to the north, Sc. batter argument
Tor the Free Soil opponents of the bill is, that leg.
iSiates SLAVERY INTO territory free. We have al
ways considered the Missouri COMPROMISE a base
iniquity, compromise, (eo called by which as us
us, the south gained all they wanted. The opposi
lion to the passage Of the Missouri Compromise bill
al the north, and especially in this State, was Of the
strongest character. We believe Mr.. Shaw then
Of the Berkshire district, the only representa-.
tive from New England, who dared to vote for this
black abomination Since then, Mr. Shaw, has
been politically deserted he has not been considered
worthy TO receive the common respect of his fellow
cltlzens His vote upon the Missouri bill, well meT-
tied for him this silent contempt of the people,
whose rights be had betrayed. Now, how is il
Alter lapse of thirty four years, find ai;empt
being made 10 repeal the Compromise Of 1920, aud
we find that the very men who indignantly spurned
the name Of Henry W. shaw, of Lanesboromq are
now the strongest in their audations Of the Mssou-
ri Compromise, and the swiltest to oppose any at.
tempt TO repeal it.. We argue that this is an incon.
sislency which ought to be examined. We consider
the Missouri bill oil 1920, most unjust Compromise,
foul abomnalion-a departure lIom the original
principles of the Fathers Of the Republic. Ii is
now proposed To declare that Compromise void and
a nulIily. Let the south declare it Ii the Miss
our Compromise is unconstitutional and nulily,
so too for the reason, is the Compromise of
1850, including the infamous fugitive bill, unconsti
tutional and a nulhty The fugitive slave bill may
yet be declared a nuIy, and with present examples
before US, may safely agtate It's repeal, without
having patriotism called in question We say,
let the Free Democracy oppose the Nebraska bill be
1t proposes to e1tend SLAVERY into territory now
free, and because it proposes declare The
ouri Compromise inopeatiue.
II we, as free Soers, and opposers Of all Com
promises Nth mqsaty sign petitions protesting against
any repeal of the Missouri Compromises do we not
thereby virtually bind ourselves the idea that all
Compromises are fnaty and can consistent

RAISING PEACHES IN GEoRGGA-Six
years ago, an honest bard working man from the
vicinity of Norwich, Conn, went 10 the inr West
lie had in his pocket small capital Of only
four hundred dollars, which he had carefully hus-
banded against 'rainy day" On arriving at
his place Of destination, he wisely purchased for
himself snug little farm, which he stocked as
much as it could bear--not with wheat corn,
sheep or cattle, but with peach trees. His neigh
bors, no doubt thought him foolish and visionary,
but he kept his own counsel. His second crop
of peaches yielded him gain of four hundred
dollars. But this year his immense peach
orchards yielded him, at The least calculation,
clear profit of thirty thousand Archaeological

WASHINGTON, Friday, Feb. 10.
SENATE.-After the transaction of private
bills, the Nebraska bill was taken up, and Mr..
Truman Smith resumed his speech
He quoted speech OF Mr.. Webster, in which
that statesman opposed agitation, North and
South, and declared his devotion TO the Union.
This was the platform on which he mir. Smith)
now stood. He was opposed TO anti-slavery agi-
talors and pro slavery agitators. The slavery
question overshadowed all things. This bill re-
enacted the fugitive slave act FIVE tImes but if it
re-enacted the Missouri prohibition and the Will
mot proviso both five times over, he would not
support it. He was, and always had been direct
ly opposed to agitation on this subject
HoUs OF REPRESENTATIVES. Jones =

vote of yesterday, which nailed the Deficiency
bill to The table, in consequence of an error in
the count, there having been SO for to IS against

CHARACTERIZATION The New York Journal
of Commerce, mentions that on Sunday morning
last, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, gave notice that
sermon would he preached that afternoon, by
the Rev. Mr. Furness, (Unitarian), of Philadel-
phia, at the church of Rev. Mr. Chaplin (Univer-
sallst) upon the subject Of 'tPraccal Religion"
He supposed some people would think it strange
that he, an Orthodox Clergyman, should give
such notice; but though Mr.. Furness entertained
a different system Of theology from him, yet he
was right on the great question of human rights
and human progress, and an eminently practical
Christian. He added that some men live better
with a bad system of theology, than many men
did who had good one, and that "some men
could do more with jack knife, than other men
could do with whole chest Of Lools''
