An idle brain Is the devils workshop.
A bad wound heals; bad name kills.
A bitter jest is the poison of friendship.
A bad workman quarrels with his tools
A blithe heart makes blooming visage.
A burden which one chooses is not fell.
A careless watch invites viCilant foe.
A clean glove often hides a dirty hand.
A clear conscience finds no ACQUISITION.
A cracked bell is never sound.
A fools heart is ever dancing on his lips.
A friepd is never known till needed.
A giftlong waited for is sold, not given
A good maxim is never out OF season.
A good life keeps off wrinkles.

Wilmot in PhiIudeIphia.

Hon David Wilmot, The mal whom Dr.. Packer
was afraid to meet and discuss with him tho DO.
litiral issues of the day, made noble speech in
Philadelphia on Monday night Charles Gpir
presided, and introduced Mr.. Wilmot 10 the an,li.
ence, The North A rcricaH gives report Of his
remarks. We copy paragraph or two, as iadi.
catiyc Of lis spirit:
Man, 50 long as he is man, will resist wrong
when suffered in his person. will resist opnr.s,
sion when he is its victim and his indignation
will be alike eIklndled when he beholli his fellow
subjected 10 the same inIgnileS. We read of Il
vain and prtsumptuous prince who in his regal ar
rogance assumed the power TO beat back the heav-
Ing surf Of ocean from the shore. The task taken
upon themselves by those who attemp ed to ar
rest the discussion of slavery viii be as useless as
that taken upon himself by King Canule. LAP
plause.
This, fellow-citizens is no abstract question 1t
lays AT the foundation Of morals and virtue It is
an eminentIy practical question-a question that
each one OF Us is called upon TO solve a question
that bears alike GENEROUSLY upon us ALL 1t is
question Of Importance. whether this fair domain
shall be controlled by those who would suppress
the right Of speech or not. Isn't that practica
question! II is question between two systems
Of labor. Whether labor shall be creiiuab ,laud-
able, honorable, or whether it shall bear the brand
Of disgrace, Of servitude, aud of dishonor Isn't
that practical question? lCries of - Yes yes ri
But there is Il question OF even higher impor-
tance than this II question of civilization or bar
barism Whether civilization shall carry the beau
tiful standard Of America over the teeniing plains
Of the wide West, or whether il shall sink into
degradation and a sem-ciyilized condition akin to
barbarlsm. Whether u civilization of law and
juSlice-a civilization Of free speech, q free press
and free labor, shall prevail in the fertile West or
whether the bowie-knie aud revolver shall reign
supreme over that fair country whether great
questions of human rights shall be calmly and
with dignity discussed upon the floor of Congress,
or whether Constitutional issues are to be deter
mined by The bludglon Prolonged applause.
