OtF The shoe business is said to be very
much depressed in consequence of the high
price Of leather Although the advance in
the price Of shoes has been great, it has not
kept pace with the rise of leather, and the
manufacturers, though their sales have been
very large, and prices comparatively high,
have failed to make any profits, and are sus-
pending their works. The supply Of hides is
not equal to the increased consumption Of
leather.

When our forefitHers from them cast
The chains which bound the conscience fast,
They vowed henceforth the soil they trod
Should have king but thee, o, God!
But evermore from yea to sea,
Should glow the fires of liberty.
And He, their songs, repeat again,
Here Pope, nor priest, nor king shall reign;
ThenIet US sing oar native land,
The chorus swell from sea 10 sea-
For song will neye each heart and hand
To guard our glorious Liberty.
Ay, by the blood that freely flowed,
When first the ires of Freedom glowed;
By all the years Of toll and pain
Endured to break the tyrants chain;
And by the Freedom nobiy won,
We pledge, each true COlumbia's son,
To guard our nwa dear native land,
From every foreign spoilers hand.
Then, rally, rally patriot band.
The chorus swell from sea to sea,
For song viii nerve each heart aud hand
To guard our glorious Liberty.
We welcome all who hither come
To find in Freedoms land,
And give then leave by honest toll,
To gather riches from our soil;
But claim the sacred right to be
The guirdfdnS OF our Liberty;
'Tis ours 10 hold, and ours to gui.o
The land for which our fathers died.
Then, Ie3 rs sing native land,
The chorus swell from sea,
And song shall n eaca heart and hand
Te' guard our glorious Liberty

o. There is now on foot plan to effect
the removal of the Florida Indians, and induce
them to join their brethren the Selnnoles
and Creeks West Of Arkansas. At the last
session a treaty made with these Western
tribes providing for the reception of the Florida
Indians, by them, and an admission into their
tribes on the most liberal terms, was confirmed
by the Senate. The government also stpu-
lates to pay the emigrating Indians for all sac
rifces made by them in leaving their present
grounds, and to provide homes for them in
their new settlements. Several Creeks from
the West have been sent to Florida to per-
suade their brethren there to emigrate. Gen
Harvey, the Indian Paciicator upon the
Plains last year, has been sent to Florida, with
the olive branch in one hand and the sword in
the other. He has suspended hostilities and has
displayed flags of truce from every garrison
and encampment, and is endeavoring to make
known to the Indians the oyertures Of the
government and to persuade them to acquiosce
telling them at the same time the folly Of resist
ance, and the sure vengeance that awaits them
if they presist in their defiance of the power o
the Union. The number of troops now in
Florida is sufficient and they are so placed, a:
to crush the poor Indians at once if they
should again fight. To this species of logic
and its mode Of application, it is thought they

SKATING.-Thc ponds in the suburbs of
Boston are crowded on pleasant days with
skaters, of both sexes, both old and young
The Traveller says there was excellent and
graceful skating by some young ladies on Bull
lard's pond one day last week, in which the
fair ones seemed to he thoroughly at home
upon the icy surface of the lake, exhibiting
both as regards grace and swiftness marked
contrast to the rather cumbrous efforts of
their worthy sires. During the evening, the
Marseilles hymn was sung by the assembled

surne are dispensed with in this graceful and

AVERAGE DURATION OF HUMAN LIFE-
Prof Buchanan, in a recent lecture before the
Mechanics Institute at Cincinnati, said that in
the latter part of the sixteenth century one
half who were born, died under five years Of
age; the average longevity of the whole popu-
lation was but eighteen years. In the seven
teenth century, one-half of the population
died under II years. But in the first sixty
years of the eighteenth century, one-half Of
the population lived over = years. In the
latter forty years, one hale exceeded 80 years
of age. At the beginning Of the present cen
fury, one-haf exceeded 40 years; and from
1888 to 1915, one half exceeded IS. The
average logevity at these successive periods
has been increased from eighteen years in the
sixteenth century up to AZ the present year.

for Wednesday evening before the Library As
ISOLATION is gentleman who enjoys a wide
fame as brilliant poet. The authorship of
many popular songs are attributed to his pen,
among which is the cold folks at home,' sung
by every boy in the country, and which would
make his name household name in every
cottage, if it had always travelled with his
song. He will close his last lecture with reci-
tations from an Ohio of his own, from which
we take at random the following patriotic ode

Of freedom are


Which added to the present free territory,
will make the whole area of freedom 215T-
652 square miles, while the slave territory will
remain but a little over one third that quanti-
ty. And within five years there will be GER
tainly six territories-and if Minnesota and
Nebraska be divided, there will be eight new
free States added to the Union The free
States will then have forty eight Senators, and
the slave States but thirty. Is there any rea-
son for alarm of Southern aggression, or slave
power? The contest Of the South for an
equilibrium of political power, is a hopeless
effort; the safety Of the slave States is in a
sense Of right, and conviction of their con-
stitutional obligations, on the part Of the free
States. If they cannot rely on the spirit of
justice and right of the North, we do not see
what security they have for the future.
