NATJvE,AMERICAN RELIGION.

brothers, let US have American liberty and
American religion" ----.-
[SpeecA Of Hon. K Rayner, lnOOnOtting eonoea.sOn
Taking the above for text, the Louisville Times
says:
'Ihe Christian religion is of foreign origin, and
II know -nothingism goes on to wax much warmer
in lis zeal for things indigenous to this country we
may expect that natve-American religion will be
proposed before long-the Mormon, perhaps as
that is purely American. Orator Rayner we sup
pose, would have the name American supersede
that OF Christian as prefix to our religion. What
pity that Christ was not born in America instead
Of Bethlehem of Judea If he had been, nodoubt
Sans people would have thought much better of
his religion than they do. 1t was great oversight
in Providence not to let this country be discovered
by Europeans until the time of their Catholic Maj
estes Ferdinand and Isabella and still greater
one, that Christopher Columbus, Catholic should
have been allowed the honor of first placing foot
upon i'll 1t is wonder, too, that the know moth
ings are so well satisfied with an imported name
If they should ever get to rule America suggest
to them the propriety of exchanging the name
America for some other that of Samalia would be
both appropsiate and euphonious. Would not this
be name of thrilling power, and wouldn't it be
capital way, too to immortaize Sam? The know
nothings must do something smart and worthy of
themselves, and this would be Just such reforma-
ton as the world might expect of them"
"From an authentic source, we learn that so tar
from the report being true, that number of Amer
leans had withdrawn from the Lodge at Dover the
day the candidates spoke there, the FACT is that
fifty members were initiated that day, and several
additional the next dsy."--7rue Wing.
On the contrary, reliable gentleman in Dover,
n postscript to letter in which he sends us the
names of eighteen new subscribers, dated the 18th
inst, writes:
"You ask iii is fact that thirty democrats
Joined the know nothing party in this county after
the debate between Johnson and Gentry: l answer
most positively that the report is false in every
particular. There are not now twenty democrats
in the conspiracy throughout the whole county of
Stewart, and will not be half that many by the day
of the election. Nearly every democrat that had
not left before the speaking has since left. have
lived in this county nearly twenty years and have
never witnessed such harmony 10 the democratic
party as exists at this time. Every democrat has
his dsnder up and is determined to do his whole
duty. The democrats who were drawn into the
know. nothing gull trap are doing most efficient
work IN the good old cause of democracy, and as
y we now see the strength of the enemy we know

Life as it Is.

Let us make an excursion down the street
and see what we can learn Yonder is the
wreck of rich mans son He is permitted
to grow up without employment, went and
came as he pleased, and spent his time III the
qualification Of spontaneous passions, desires
and inclinations, with no one to check hin
when his course was evil or encourage him ir
the way of wisdom His father was rich, and
for that reason the son thought he had moth
ing to do, no part in honest labor. .
Well, the father died, and the son inherited
a portion Of his abundant wealth, and having
never earned money by honest toll, he knew
not the value of it, and having no knowledge
of business, he knew not how to use it, SO he
gave loose reins to his appetites and passions,
and ran at a rapid pace down the broad road
to dissipation. Now behold hinl-a broken
down man, bowed with infiruaty, mere wreck
of what he was, both physically and mentally
His money is gone, and he lives OH the charity
of those whose hearts are open with pity. Such
is the fate of hundreds and thousands that are
born to fortune
And there, on the opposite side, in that com
Portable mansion, lives the son of poor cob
bier Fifteen years ago he left the hamLle roof
Of his parents and went forth into the broad
world alone to seek his fortune All his trca-
sureS consisted of his chest of tools, good
knowledge of his trade, honest principles, and
Industrious habits. Now he is the owner OF
that elegant mansion, he is doing thriving
business, possesses an unbroken constitution,
and bids fair to live to a great old age Such
is the lot of hundreds and thousands who never
boasted of wealthy parentage.
Go into the city and YOU will almost iuya.
riably find that the most enterprising men are
Of poor parentage-men who have had to row
against wind and tide; while on the other
hand a majority of the descendants of medioc-
rity in talents, live short time like droncs, on
the labor of others, and then go down to un-
timely graves.
What a lesson should this be to those who
are by all means, either fair or foul, accumula-
ting treasures for their children
If therich would tram up their children to
regar habits of industry, very many of them
would be saved from intemperancc misery, and
an untimely end.
