OCCUPATIONs OF AMERICANs.- The census
returns Of the occupations of the people of
the United States are curious and instruct
i've The number of BARRIERS and brokers is
about IT, ~ame, and between the two, peo-
pie get wei shaved There are about eighty
professcd doctors to one professional under
taker. Only eighty-two persons informed
the census takers that they were authors"
while no less tlan two thousand individu-
ais assumed to be artists" There are one
hundred thousand biacksmiths, and the same
number of merchants The lawyers out
number the bakers by ten thousand, there
being twcnty-four thousand Of the former,
and fourteen thousand of the latter The
hattcrs and to5acconists are about equal in
number. The carpenters number two hun
dred thousand the masoRs siXty-four thou
sand the sailors fifty thousand the wheel
wrights thirty-thousand the sadders twen-
ty-thrce thousand, There are more confec-
TONERS than watchmakers more weavers
than teachers more vinegarmakers than
shoWmen and as many wagon-makers as
editors. Strange to relate that among the
returns Of the trades, not politician is emu
merated and the tables of the professions
do not include a single patriot.
SAFETY LIES BETWEEN ExrREMEs.-If the
sham Republicans and the sham Democrats
shall not succeed in making confusion
worse con(oundcd," and in finally bringing
about, either anarchy, despotism, or a dis
solution of the Union, it certainly will not
be for the reason that their efforts in this
direction have not been earnest and untiring
Both these parties have done all that was
in their powcrto create purely sectional
division between the people of this confed-
eracy--to wage a purely sectional contest
in the pending Presidential canvass, and to
frown down all the conservative elements
which interposed barriers to their success in
effectng these reckless purposes.
How long will the Union-oving people of
the United States allow their rights, inter
ests happiness, and safety to be jeoapardcd
by this shameless sectional strife How
long can the Union withstand the shocks
which this strife, if continued must inevta-
bly, produce? How long is the country to
continue to be the thcater of these contend
ing factions, WHO are warning upon each
other and upon the quiet and peace of the
people, for the sake of the spoas of pouer
and poSAion? What great good do the
people promise themselves, by countenan-
cling this war Of section against section .
What evils are there not, which continu-
ancc of this contest may produce

The Best Way TO Retaliaie.

When J. was u young man, one of my
ncighbors acted in q way which very
nuch displeased me, and the first time

Some time afterwards, q young man
on hunting excursion one night, pass
ing through my field, did me an injury.
The next day learned who he was. |
could have put The law in force against
him, but l preferred matching him in
another way. The first time | met him
afterwards was at the place of worship.
I stepped up to him, aud in appearance
very friendly, offered him my hand,

MANS Duty 70 Woman.

Let him learn to DO grateful to wo-
man for this undoubted achievement of
her sex, that it is she; she far more
than he, and she too often in despite
of him; who has kept Christendom
from lapsing back into barbarism; kept
mercy and truth from being utterly o.
verbornc by those two greedy monsters
-monoy and war. Let him be CRATE
ful for this, that almost every great
soul that has led forward or lifted up
the race has been furnished for each
noble deed, and inspired with each pat
riotic and holy aspiration, by the re-
firing fortitudc of some Spartan or
more than Spartan-some Christian
mother. Moses, the deliverer of his
people, drawn out of the Nile by the
King daughter, some one has limited,
is only q symbol of the way that wo-
mans bettor instincts always cutwit
tho tyranical diplomacy of man. Let
him chsorfully remember, that though
the sinewy sex achieves enterprise on
public theatres, it is the nerve and
sensibility of the other, that arm the
mind and intlame the soul in secret
"A man discovered America, but wo-
man equipped the voyage So every
where; man executes the performance,
but woman trains the man. Every
cflectual person, leaving his mark on
the world, is but another Columbus, for
whose furnishing some Isabella, in the
form Of his mother, lays down her
jewelry, her vanities and her comfort.
Above all, let no man practice upon
woman the perpetual and shameless
falsehood Of pretending admiration and
acting contempt. Let them not cx-
haust their kindness in adjoining her
person, and ask in return the humlia-
ton Of her soul. Let them not assent
to her every high opininion, as if she
wcro not strong enough to maintain it
against opposition; not yet manufac-
ture opinion for her and force it on
her lips by dictation. Let them not
cruelty her emotions, nor ridiculc her
frailty, nor crush her individuality, nor
insult her independence, nor play off
mean jests upon her honor in convivial
companies, nor handy unclcan doubts
Of her, as a wrctchcd substitute for
wit; nor whisper vulgar suspicious of
her purity, which, as compared with
their own, is like the immaculate white
ness of angels. Let them remember
that, for the CHASTITY spectacle of her
blasted chastity, they are answcrable.
Let them multiply her social advanta-
gcs, enhance her dignity, minister to
her intelligence, and by manly gentle
ness, be the champions for her genius,
the friends Of her fortunes, and the e.
quals if they can, Of her heart.

A r REGULAR STICK.

A clever correspondent of tho Yam
kee Blade. writing from Alabama, is re-
sponsible for the following:
c., was cute Down Eastcr"- a
real live Yankee--always ready for u
joke and hard 10 beat. He was one day
IN county bar-room down South, "
where several persons were assembled,
when one Of them said:
"Mr. c., ifyou 60 out and stick your
pen knife into anything, when yon come
back Ill tell you what il is sticking in"
lyon can't DO no such a lhing;" re-
sponded c.
I'll be, you ten dollars of H." said
the other.
"WalI, | rather guess, I'll take that
ere bet; hero capting Cunning to the
landloId,) hold the stakes, and III list
make half saw horse in less than no
time"
The parties deposited an x apiece,
and G. went on his mission, but in a
short time returned saying
"Well nabor, what is It sticking in p
"ln the handle" replied the South
erner. as he reached ont his hand for tho
stakes.
Guess not; inst wait awhile" said
the Yankee. as he held up the handle,
minus the diade. 81 kalklate the blade
can't be in the handle, when its driven
clean up in The old stump aside Of yer
road out there"
Jonathan of course won the wager,
and the Southerner sloped to parts un.
known amid roars of laughter. IT,.
