Tho Northern Democracy.

> We copy the extract below from the New
York Day Book, paper that has always
defended the constitutional rights Of the
South with equal zeal and ability. The Day
Book contends with equal Justice that the
whole North is not combined against the
South, that the great body of the Northern
Democracy has generally been ready to do
justice, and that it is our duty as we'll as our
interest to stand up to the Northern De,noc-
racy:
"Don't be too fast gentlemen. The
North is not altogether against you, nor is
it against the Nebraska bill. There is no
necessity of your being frightened into cast
ing cannon, sharpening swords, nor manu-
facturing gunpowdcr yet. We of the
North will take care Of our own. people.
We are not all fanatics, and shall not be
controlled by fanatics; 80, do not 90
off half cocked,' nor kick out of the traces
yet while. We have lived under the con-
tuition made by our fathers some seven
ty odd years, and you have had equal pro-
lection with the rest Of us. Stick to that,
and we will. Never fear that there is not
good constitutional loving citizens enough
in the North to keep down the plotters a.
gainst you and your institutions.
"When, gentlemen, did the Democracy
OF the North desert you Or refuse to stand
by you Never! 1t gave you President
Polk and Texas-and it gave you the fugi-
tive slave law, and it gave you President
Pierce and the Nebraska BILL What more
can you ask9 We readily admit that these.
were your rights, but we point to them only
to show that Northern Democracy always
has and always will give you your rights.
"Why then desert it or talk about fight
ing the whole North Stand by those who
have stood by you, and yon will never have
reason to complain. You should make
some allowance for Northern habits, and
Northern prejudice, and not expect all our
people to think just as you do on the sub
ject OF slavery; that is not possible. But
you have always found the Democratic par
ty to deal justly with you, and you may re-
ly upon it to do justly hereafter, 20 matter
what the people think about slavery. Don't
leave the Democratic party, men Of the
South, until it leaves you, and you will have
nothing to fear from Northern fanaticism'"

MIR. Peppers wife-.How he Shut her Up

NI. Peppers "He---f1O" ne SnuC ner up.
"Mrs. Pepper, labor under the impress
sion that it is high time you We're getting
breakfast. As my former housekeeper' un-
dic.rstood all my wishes with regard to these
things found it unnecessary to give any
orders respecting them but with you it is
different. AS you have never got a meal
in this house, of course you know nothing
of the regulations of the household.
"In the first place, you will make fire in
the kitchen, put on the tea-kettle, etc.
Then you will make fire in here; that
done, you will cook the breakfast and bring
it in here, as I have always been accustom-
ed to taking mine in bed, and do not con-
slider it necessary to depart from that Gus
tom on your account but should you pre-
fer it, you can cat yours&in the kitchen, as
it is perfectly immaterial to me-"
This occurred the morning after Mrs.
Pepper wentto housekeeping. Mrs. p. was
sensible woman-she made no reply to
Mr.. Peppers commands; but rs soon as her
toilet was finished, she left the room, and
sitting down in the kitchen, she thus rumi-
mated:
"Make the, kitchen fre-yes, TIL do that
then make asfire in, the bedroom-rll see
to that, too thentake the breakfast to his
bedside-just see if I do" And then Mrs.
Pepper sat and thought deeply for a few
minutes, when, apparently having arrived at
satisfactory conclusion, she proceeded to
business. a-;*jsss<t ::
Having got a nice FIRE kindled in the
kitchen, she carried SOME coal into MIR. P.'s
apartment, and; filled up his stove, hasipg
lflst ascertained that there was not 4 apafR

Oh the dashing, foaming waters as they fell

"Mr. Bones, tell me how to make thou

Mr.. Bones continued looking intcntly as
the water. At last he ventured a reply.
"Do you see that dam, my friend3"
II certainly do"
"Well, here you may learn the secret Of
making money. That water would waste
away and be Of no practical use to any
body, but for the dam. That dam turns it
to good accommodating it perform some
useful purpose, and then suffers it to pass

EMIGRATION FROM SwITzERLASD.-Thcodofe S.
Fay, u s. Minister to Switzerland, writes to Mayor
Wood, of New York, that the cantonia authorities
o. that country are adopting every precaution
against the shipment Of paupers and criminals to
the United States. Mr.. Fay thus explains a fact
not generally understood:
Numbers of Swiss, on leaving their country,
receive sum of money from the county authori.
ties without being paupers. 1t happens in this
way-a part of the soil belongs to the commoners,
and every member has certain property in It,
Although theSwiss enjoy the privilege of expatria
ton, he does not lose the rights of nationality ex-
cept with consent, even by foreign naturalization
When he emigrates therefore, he sells these rights
and receives in return from the communal author-
ties sum of money, not an eleemosynary dona-
ton, but the payment of debt, or an equivalent
for value received"

Locks OF HAIR
The following stanzas appeared few years agC
the poets corner Of Canadian newspaper. w,
ink that all who read them win at once announc,
en- worthy of preservation:
You've often heard the promise, Fred,
One day 10 tell you where
And from what treasured heads shred
These treasured locks Of hair.
Well now the time has come at last,
Your birthday festival
Has bliihely come and swiftly .pass'd,
And you shall know them all.
Twelve years have heeted since how'd
In fearless grief my knee
Beside our dying sire, and yowd
A parents care for thee;
And ] remember how you tried,
Till even the menials wept
To wake our father when he died,
And said, she only slept"
This short curl'd lock, half dark, half gray,
/ clipt from of his brow,
I've kept il sacred till to-day,
We will divide ii now;
And when you look upon il, Fred,
Still think you hear the voice
That with its dying accents said
"My Father, bless my boys!"
This raven braid belonged TO one
You never knew my brother
She only blessed her newborn SON
And died--our sainted mother
She left us-but with us she left
fairer, tendcrer flower;
But like plant of sun bereft
She wither'd from that hour.
Springs buds, around our mothers tomb,
Come Just in time to wave;
We saw the flowers Of autumn bloom
Upon our sisters grave
My boy! your tears are falling fast
On yonder golden trees,
II is relic, and the last
Of her lost loneliness.
And this long waving silken curl,
All that you must not share
You never knew the angel girl
Who gave that auburn hair.
Ny beautiful my blessed one!
And she, too passed away;
stroyc to breathe "Thy will be done,"
But II was hard to say.
OF by how weak and frail thing
May the hearts depths be stirred;
How close and long will memory cling
To one light look or word;
And are not these slight locks with more
Of spirit meaning fraught,
Than all the mystic, letter'd lore
That sages ever taught!
Well, they are happy now, dear boy,
Their ransom'd souls are free;
They feel no more earth's hellow joy,
And real misery
Our banks are struggling slow to shore,
By storm and tempest driven,
But they have pass'd life's ocean DER,
And anchor'd safe in heaven.
