WANT OF AN ARcHITEcT.-There rs
n story on record Of an architect repud''
ating any connection with the building
fraternity, in the case OF the late eminent
and talented Mr.. Alexander, the archl..
tect of Rochester Bridge, and several
othc, fine buildings in the county oil
Kent. He was under cross examination
in a special Jury case at Maidstone, by
Seargent- afterwards Baron Garrow,
who wished TO dclract from the weight oil
his testimony, and who, after asking what
was his name, proceeded thus!"
"You are a builder, | believer"
"No, sir, | am am not a builder-l am
an architect"
"Ah, we'll! Architect or builder
builder or architect, they are much the
same, | SUPPOSED"
81 beg your pardon, sir-l cannot adj
nit that; | consider them to be totally
different.'
"Oh, indeed! perhaps you will state
wherein this great difference conslsts!"
San architect, sir, prepares the plans
conceives the design, draws out a speclh'
ca,ion-in short, supplies the mind. The
builder is merely the bricklayer or the
carpenter; the builder, in fact, is the ma.
CHI ne-thc architect the power that puts
the machine together, and sets it going
ooh, very we'll, Mr.. Architectural
will do. And now, after your very inge.
nious distinction without a difference,
perhaps you could inform the Court who
was the architect oflhe Tower Of Babel"
And now mark tho reply-whieh, for
promptness and wit, is perhaps not to be
rivaled in the whole history of re%joinder:
"There was no architect, Sir, and
hence the confusion !"

Oh! I Feel Sometimes 50 Sad!


Oh | feel sometimes 50 sad,
So almost tired Of lilo
Why not find, TO make me glad,
Some thing with pleasure rife! :,
Friends are few--lhe world seems cold
And does not interest
Alas that I'm not found among

Regret and pain at last,
And ever does my mem'ry sting
With thoughts all joy to blast.

And thus in silence do | bear

To find a resting place,

From the St. Louis Democrat, Nov.a.
Joshua R. Giddings Lecturing in a
Slave State.

This distinguished gentleman lectured
last evening, to an oveTfowing house, up
on the subject of "The Laws which Gov
ern Us." Mr.. Giddings spoke for an
hour and eight minutes to an attentive
audience, frequently interrupted by hearty
demonstrations of applause. Only once
during the evening was there the least
expression of disapprobation or dissatlsfac-
tion--and Mr., Giddings was radical in
his remarks the lecturer denounc-
ed the bred Scott decision, and then such
cheering and stamping and clapplng Of
hands drowned the noise of the few per.
sons who hissed, until the latter, ashamed
of themselves, relapsed into silence, and
Mr.. Giddings pursued his theme. There
vas nothing new nW novel in the lecture
nothing introduced by the speaker which
is not known to all who are acquainted
with the gentleman, aud motives Of his
political conduct. God is the source
from which everything emanates--all
things are governed by laws uuchangable
and immutable, and by the unchangable
and immutable character of Deity. If
we disobey those laws either Of the phys
ical or the moral nature, We must pay the
forfeit. Man, the pobest work Of God,
must not be degraded--full scope must
be given to all his powers that he may de-
velope himself and approach as near as
possible to the divine perfection Man
has no right TO step between another man
and his God-or his means of culture or
his right TO get food, raiment or hsbita-
ton. Man that God has made and stamp
ed with the seal of Immortality, is enti-
tied 10 every opportunity he may seek for
the purpose of culture or personal happl-
ness. Woe unto the man who invades
that right. Woe unto the man who vlo'
lates any physical or moral law. :
Such was the tenor of the lecturers re-
marks; which were listened to with every
manifestation of pleasure by very select
auditory.

The Secret Policy Of the Govern
ment,

Secrecy belongs to an age Of Darkness.
Mystery is the instrument of lmpOsture,
and Cunning is the attribute of Knaves.
1t is curious to observe, historically, how
political secrecy and mystery have always
been sought and practced in the inverse
proportion of light and knowledge. The
darker the mind, and the more despotic
the government of any people have been,
the greater has been the secrecy and mys-
terry ofits proceedings, TheenCent Bgyp-
tians were remarkable for this; the Rom
ans much less, and the Greeks not at all.
All that Athens or Sparta idended to de-
the whole world might know Or they de-
bated il in open assembly of be people.
This quality of secrecy AID mystery
has been revived, in modern times, to a
remarkable extent, in the art d Dipoma.

nothing more positively wrong to the ma
