John Petit. D. ID.

1t will be recolected that Mr.. Benton not
long ago drtly dubbed Senator Petit, with
D. D.-"Dir,y Dog" Well, in retiring
from the Senate, the d d. stepped into the
Office of Circuit Judge in Indiana, and the
Judge maintains the high dignity he acquired
when Senator, for we see he has made it
standing rule in his court, that during the
trial of any murder case, no newpaper of the
county shall publish any ruling or pretended
ruling, or any evidence or pretended evidence
therein, or any article thereon. Some of
the editors in the country where he promul-
gated this decree paid no attention to it,
whereupon they were arraigned fined one
hundred dollars, and thratened with imprison-
ment if they repeated the offence, Judge
p. must have asingular notion of the freedom
of the press in the country which he en-
Ii ghtens with his judicial wisdom. Why
don't the d, d. hold his court In private, or
else muzzle every mouth as we'll as the
press! Such rules as Judge p. enforces
are abominable iL republic which boasts
of free speech, free press. and free people.

BENJAMIN Franklin Wade.

Several OF our contemporaries in this State
arc speaking out their sentiments of admira-
ton for this bold and eloquent companion OF
liberty, now the only representative Of Ohio in
the United States Senate. Mr.. Pugh is
Senator, it is true, because he holds the legal
certificate to that effect; but he knows very
well that the sentiments he processes to hold
are foreign to the breasts of the people On
the other hand, Mr.. Wade's course in the
Senate, during the time when liberty and
good faith were being crucifed at the behesl
of bogus Democracy, was such as to H.
lustrate and embody the attachment to free.
dom and free institutions, which eliminated
last yeov in majority of seventy-fve thou
sand against the candidates OF the Nebraska
Sl2very-extension party.
Probably no man in Congress, hailing
from the free States, is more feared or re.
spected by the pro-slavery faction than
Frank Wade. While he is cool and collect.
ed in debate his Ltterances in the cause o
truth have power to sting the champions Of
slavery ar 'tocracy in the most vital part -
Although they are compelled to writhe under
the well planted blows of his eloquence, ani
would gladly be rid Of such fearless Censor
of their unholy schemes for subverting the
government, his personal courage, is SO fal
above suspicion in their minds that the ideu
Of bullying him out of the Senate finds nc
encouragement. 1t is only by producing di
vision among his constituents at home, upor
minor questions, that they and their part,
satellites in Ohio hope to prevent his return
from the restraints which his presence ant
voice impose. No truer or more inhuentia
man is in the State, and we hope the people
he so ably and truly reprcIents will soc to i
that his return to that body is mot defeatet
by any of the legerdemain of party politics.

The Boy AND MANA few years ago
there was in the city OF Boston portrait
painter whose name was Copley. He did
not succeed very well in his business, and
concluded to go to England 10 try his fortune
there. He had son, whom he took with
him, whose name was John Singleton
Copley.
John was very studious boy, and made
such rapid progress in his studies that his
father sent him to coolidge. There he applied
himself so closely to his books, and became
so distinguished scholar. that his instructors
predicted that he would make very emf.
nent man.
After he graduated he studied law; and
when he entered upon the practice of his
profession his mind was richly stored with
information, and so highly disciplined by his
previous diligence, that ne aim ost immedia-
tely obtained celebrity. One or two cases ol
very great importance being entrusted him,
he managed them with SO much wisdom and
skill as to attract tho admiration of the whole
British nation,
The King and his Cabinet, seeing what a
learned man he was, and the influence he
had acquired, felt it important to secure his
services for the Government. They there
fore raised him from one post of honor to
another, till he was created Lord High Chan
cellor of England, the very highest post OF
honor to which subject can attain, so that
John Singleton Copely is now Lord Lynd-
hurst, Lcrd High Chancellor of England, -
About sixty years ago he was poor little
boy in Boston, his father poor portrait
painter, hardly able to get his daily bread.
Now he is at the head of the nobility in Eng
land, one of the most distinguished man in
talant and power in the House Of Lords, and
regarded with reverence and respect By the
whole civilized world, This is the reward
of industry; the studious boy becomes the
useful and respected man.
Had John S. Copely spent his school days
in idleness, he wuold probably have passed
his manhood in poverty and shame. But he
studied in school when other boys were idlei
he studied in college when other young men
wasted their time. He ever adopted for his
motto, "Utra pergere," (press onUard,J and
howSrich has been his reward.
You, my young friends, are now laying the
foundation of your future life, You are
every day at school deciding the question
whether you will be useful or respected in
life, or whethe, your manhood shall be PASS

,boyhood.

POETRY.
WATCH, WATCH, MOTHER.

Mother! watch the little feet,
Climbing DER the garden wall
Bounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar. shed and hall,
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the TIME it costs.
Little feet will 60 astray,
Guide them, mother while you may.
Mother! watch the little hand,
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay,
Never dare the question ask.
"Why to me this weary task!"
These same little hands may pr owe
Messengers of light and love.
Mother! watch the little tongue
Pratting eloquent and wild,
What is said. and what is sung
BY thy happy, joyous child.
Catch the word whilst yet unspoken,
Stop the vow before t is broken;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in Savior's name.
Mother! watch the little heart
Breathing soft and warm for you;
Wholesome lessons now impart;
Keep, o keep that young heart true.
Extricating every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed;
Harvest rich you then may see,
Ripeninp for eternity,

"Our friend, Capt. Ford, of Mansfield, is

His blows fall thick and fast, and those who

vention. Ford is Virginia boy, and knows
just where to hit the slave propagandists.-
Says the Captain, "Geutlemen, you admit the

wrong, and you regret its passag ge, but that

ed, you now refuse to restore 1t. A thief

success and improvements ofthe city, and his
death is not. only subject of individual re-
gret, but public loss.-Steub. Her.
