A THOUGHT FOR THE RIcH.-It is a
thought very frequently true-a general
truth. 1t is a thought for those who are
laboring for riches to bequeath to their
children. The less you leave your chill
dren when you die, the more they will
have twenty years afterwards. Wealth
inherited should be the incentive to exer-
ton. Instead of that, cit is the title-deed
to sloth" The only money that does
man good is what he earns himself. A
ready made fortune, like ready made
clothes, seldom fits the man who comes in
possession. Ambition, stimulated by hope
and a half-flled pocket-book, has power
that will triumph over all difficulties, be-
ginning with the rich mans contumely,
and leaving off with the envious mans
malice

The HALLS OF CONGRESS- cost
of the Improvements now making at the
Capitol is enormous It is said that the
new Halls for the Senate and House will
be better adapted for their respective pur-
poses, than any like edifces in the world.
No money has been spared to make them
convenient, and at the same time elegant,
so far as ornaments concerned The cost
of the doors, opening into the Halls, will
be fourteen thousand dollars each The
correspondent of the Boston Journal says:
"There are to be but two of these prin-
cipal DOORS They are fourteen feet high,
and six and half feet in width. They
are of bronze, with eight pannels, each
representing in alto reliero national
scene-such as the battle of Lexington,
the battle of Bunker Hill, the storming of
the redoubt of Yorktown, Washington ia
king leave of his army, &C.
The designs are by our countryman, Mr.
Crawford, and are very admirable The
castings will be executed in this country
or at Munich The bronze doors of the
baptistry at Florence, which have been SO
much admired, and Of which it was said
by Michael Angelo that they were worthy
to be the entrances into Paradise, were
thirty years in process of execution, and at
a vastly greater cost than is now proposed.
But still, a plain deal or pine board might
be substituted for these.
1t is objected, too, that the superintend-
ent has ordered statuary for ornamentino
some parts of the new building. He has
ordered from American artists such statu-
airy as properly belongs tosucha structure.
For twelve statues he is to pay for-six
thousand dollars-which is exceedingly
economical, in comparison with the expen-
dlture upon the statuary in the portico of
the Capitol-of which Mr.. Hale said to-
day, that some of it-Columbus and the
Indian, &C., ought to be thrown down and
removed by a mob

The Union.

Now and forever-one, and inseparable"
Ye would sever the Union-but can We undo,
The relation of brother to brother?
Ye may coldly regard him, and slander him too,
But when sorrow oertakes him your hearts will
be true
To the love We once bore him, when together We
grew
In peace, by the side of your mother.
Ye would sever the Union-but can We untwine
The numberless ties that have bound YOU?
Like the threads of a creeping and delicate vine,
They are silently spread, in the rain and the
shine,
Till, when you would burst them each gossamer
line
Turns to 'cord and to cable" around you
Ye would sever the Union-What! We who were
nursed
In the arms of so holy mother?
Would you dare to pronounce her astray and
accursed,
Who rock'd you to sleep in one cradle at first
Who shielded your head from the storm when
it burst,
And ne'er gave the charge to another?
Ye would sever the Union-but can We forget
How your fathers stood shoulder to shoulder? I?
How like one in privation, their stern hearts
were set:
How like one, in the conflict our foemen they
met
How like one they were melted by sorrow, and
yet,
How in danger grew bolder and bolder.
Ye would sever the Union-but woe to the day
When we mingle in council no longer.
What shall keep rulers from deadly atfray?
What love shall be potent the people to sway 7?
Ye will find yourself powerless the torrent to
stay,
OF hate and the right of the stronger!
Judge not that ye be not judged" Leave unto
God
The right of condemning your brother!
Until like an owner ye stand on his sod;
Until your own feet in his pathway have trod
Until you are scourgcd, both alike, by the rod,
Never dare to pronounce on another
But cherish the Union with heart and with
hand.
AS ye cherish your home and your altar;
Through the length and the breadth of our
wide-spreading land,
Alone by the eye of Omnipotence spanned,
Rise up in your strength and the craven with
stand
Who dares to dissemble and falter

while stopping at an inn in Scotland, W
continually troubled by the landlady with
the request that he should write her epi-

Observation-Disclosures is the di-
yinest gift of God to man. 1t is that
which ever speaks to man if he would lis
ten, of an Omnipresent Deity. 1t is not
the thunder-peal, nor the flashing light
ming, it is not the raging of the ocean
storm, nor the terrific fury of the tornado;
nor the fiery burning of the lava from its
mountain furnace; it is none of these that
speak to the heart of man. but the spirit
within him, that says these are the aveng-
ing forms of an offended God. Conscience
1t IS the consciousness, deeply implanted
In the soul, Of the existence, of the une-
scapable presence of a Superior Being;
and its upbraidings are the torrents, the
self abasement, and the confusion of one
who knows himself to be standing before
a Justly offended Judge Let man have
sickness and sorrow, and scorn, and shame
Of face, and poverty, and exile; every
evil that can be poured out of the vials of
wrath upon suffering humanity, and he
may bear all with patience, save the hor-
rors of a reproving conscience.

QUAKER BURIAL GROUNDS IN CITIES.
The Quakers, however, of the old school,
having special moral ring fence tosustain
them in the right course, make terrible
havoc with the affections of the heart. In
their graveyards there areno tomb-slahs OF
head-stones. All the buried ones rest in
the tranquil socialism of the infinite. No
storied or lying urn-no animated bust
no carved angels, charming offspring of
the Greek artistic brain, denounced in the
Mosiac canons-tell how the sod-clothed
dreamer lived and loved, and how his
spirit hopes. No; these old bone yards
stuck in the shock and roar of business,
are simply so much grass land, where
lofty oaks and elms chant requiem over
the dead, despite the war on art, which
living they waged. Cor. ". Y Tribune.

HUMAN GLoRY.-Tho temple of .Ieru-
salem passed away; and of its magnif-
eenoe only few crumbling, pilgrim-kissed
stones remain. The Parthenon, the bright
est gem on the zone of the earth, is now
a heap of ruins. The Roman Forum is
now a eow-marzet; the Tarpeian Rock a
cabbage garden; and the Palace of the
Caesars rope-walk. The Pyramids them

How TO MAKE TEA PRoPERLY.-The
proper way to make a cup of good tea is
matter of some importance. The plan
which | have practiced for these twelve
months is this The tea pot is at once
filled up with boiling water, then the tea
is put into the pot, and is allowed to stand
for five minutes before it is used: the
leaves gradually absorb the water, and as
gradually sink to the bottom; the result is
that the tea leaves are not scalded, as they
are when boiling water is poured over
them, and you get all the true flavor of the
tea. In truth, much less tea is required
IN this way than under the old and COM
mon practice.-Jomcs CathiM, Gambler

beat against rock standing in troubled

entice, and the song and the cup may in

USFoRrUNATE OccuRRENcE.-A most
unfortunate affair occurred in this place,
on last Monday, which resulted in the
death of Hamilton c.. Hustead, residing
in the lower part ofs,his county. Heze-

stated home on his. horse. He was af>
forwards found lying in the bridge across

REMARKABLE CASE OF ABSTINENCE FROM
FooD.-Samuel Henley, who resides about
two and Il half miles from Spartapolis. in
this county, has totally abstained from
food for GJty>se"en days and he may yet
survive several days. For some time he
has been in a rather melancholy mood,
and about two months ago he refused to
eat, and since that time, has not taken
anything except water; and strange TO
say, he is still alive, though reduced to a
mere skeleton. Neither physicians or
friends can induce him to take any nour-
ishment. He declares he can swallow
nothing though he does every now and,
then take adrink of water. He will doubts
less persist in this delusion until he starves
to death. He is respectable farmer,
about forty-one years of age and has q
wife and six children.
This is one of the most remarkable
case we have ever heard of. We have
our information from the most reliable
source, and the facts as given may be re-
lied upon Rockingham Register.
