The Baltimore inaericaa got of a good joke
on Greedy. That paper has presumed that

York held a meeting and resolved to sound
Greedy on certain questions of public policy,
and offer him the nomination for the Pre>-

SECRET COUNCIL IN BALr1MoRE-Arch-
bishop kenrck. says the New York Crusader.
has convoked in his palace secret council OF
the Bishops of his province, where business OF
high Importance will be transacted. by the
help of dozen of proconsuls of his Holiness
in the United States. As long as the high
representatives, Of the Pope in America hold
secret meetings, no politician or editor has a
word in condemnation; but when Americans
unite in private councils, loud the impre-
cations against them, and they are called night

less, and ruffians, We hope that the Catholic
press will have no more abuses for the Know
Nothings. As we believe they have the same
right as foreign Bishops, to meet secretly in
any part Of their native soil

The Russian Fowl.

We have recently received letters from Mr.

breed of fowls known as the Russian; and
from the testimony OF the above gentleman
they seem to be a variety worthy attention.

Wool Growers and Manufacturers Conven-
tion
Extract of letter from Henry Baldwin,
Esq, of Hudson:
My impression is, that a Wool Growers
Convention, if properly conducted, will - of
benefit 10 the grower, the manufacturer, and
all concerned But if the wool grower, the
manufacturer, and those concerned in the bu-
siness, meet IN vention on this business
and then convert it into political meeting
my opinion is that no good would result from
it. but rather evil.
Should such a convention be called, think
decidedly that Clev Gland should be the place
of meeting.
Mr. Simon Perkins, James Wallace, and
Mr. Moore, all large wool growers of Summit
county. express themselves decidedly in favor
of such convention. We hope some active
and more definite movement will be taken by
these and other wool growers Of this State
The wool growers of Ohia should take an ac
tive part in getting up this convention, for no
State IN the Union, is more deeply interested.

PAPER FROM WooD.-1he ediH6n Of the
Albany Jouraal Of Monday evening last, was
pvu'e1 on paper made from Bass wood by
Mr.. Beard,lee Of that place. The quality IS
fully equal 70 that commonly used for news
papers. The color is darker than the paper in
common use, but that was occasioned by the
impurirv Or the water used in the mandatory.
Mr.. Beari>lee says, he can make paper from
pine, cedar and hemlock. He has already
used the white wood, spruce and buckeye, and
they make excellent paper. All kinds OF pa
per can be made, from the coarsest wrapping
to the finest note from wood. This is very
important discovery for this county. where We
have more wood than rags. and read more
newspapers than all the world besides. We
regret that the Journal did not state what the
paper such as they used. can be made for,
which is very important in order TO under
stand the true worth Of the discovery.

EXCHANGING WrvEs-A late number of the
Eastern Clarion. published at Paulding, Miss.
gives an account of a swap negotiated IN that
vicinity by two of its subscribers, and vouch-
es for the truth of the story. The chattles
which exchanged owners were nothing less
than the wives OF the parties, who Were on the
eve of emigrating, as they eventually did
the one 20 Alabama and the other 10 Texas.
The Clarion refraius from giving the real
names of the tsithless Benedicts, and calls
them Obadiah and Dick. but records the cir
cumstances OF the transact caon--how they went
into the woods sat downon log. and entered
upon the business, how 5hey came near
spelling the trade because Obe's wife was a
younger critter by dozen years" and how.
after much chaiieling, the difference was final

A PRAYER FoR ALI


God of the mountain, God of the storm,
God Of the Towers, Goa of the worm!
Hear us'and bless us,
Forgive us, redressius!
Breathe on our spirits thy love and thy healing
us content with thy fatherly dcaling,-
Teach us to love thee,
To love one another, brother as brother,
And make US all free
Free from the shackles of ancient tradition,
Free from the censure of man for his neighbor
Help us each one to fulfill his true mission.
God of the darkness, God of the Sun,
God of the beautiful, God of each one
Clothe us and feed us,
Illumine and lead us
Show US that avarice holds us in thrall-
That the land is all thine, and thou givest to all.
Scatter our Kindness,
Help us to do right, all the day and the night
TO love mercy and kindness;
Aid us to conquer mistakes of the past;
Show us our future to cheer US and arm us,
The upper, the better, the mansions thou hast
And God of the grave, that the grave ccnno
harm us.

PROSPECTUS OF THE UNA.

In announcing n new Volume of this periodical,
we deem it essential to call the attention Of the
reading public to the claims it may have upon
them for patronage.
The womans' rights movement having become
one of so much Importance as to enlist almost
every variety of character and shade of opinion,
it has been deemed ncedful that n correct history
of its progress might be preserved; its demands
truthfully presented and its philosophy thor
oughly treated that there should be one periodical
through which those most interested could have
utterance.
Political papers or those devoted to special re-
forms are alike unsuitCd to present a question in
volving so much OF truth as this, one which needs
the fairest the most candid and careful examinas
ton and consideration.
Our paper has been free in its character admit
ting almost every variety Of opinion and upon allI
subjects and this il will continue to be,
Arts, science, literature, philosophy both spirit
ual and natural, the science of association or the
reorganization of Society, and individual develop
ment, will each receive their due share OF atten-
ton.

will be warmly greeted by our readers Mrs. Dali,

the New Year and is quite worth the price of the
paper.

claims for support and attention.

William Wirt's letter to his daughter on the
'small sweet courtesies of life" contains a pas,
sage from which a deal Of happiness might be
learned: 81 want to tell you a secret. The way
to make yourself pleasing to others is to show that
yon care for them. The whole world is like the
miller at Mansfield, who cared FOR nobody-no, not
he-because nobody cared for him. And the whole
world will serve you so if you give them the same
cause. Let every one. therefore, see that you do
care for them, by showing them what Sterne sc
happily calls, the small, sweet courtesies' in which
there is no parade whose voice is 50 still to ease,
and which manifest themselves by tender and af
fectionate looks, and little kind acts of attention
giving others the preferences in every little enjoy,
ment at the table, in the field, walking, sitting, OF
standing.
