SHOULD WHITE Men WoRK?-Mr Corwin
of Ohio in one of his homely popular speeches,
illustrates one point of the argument in favor
of free labor, in this way
Jefferson thought labor was good for the white
man. Jefferson was 4 man who reasoned
Not, to be sure, so smart a man as Senator
Pugh Immense laughter. but still man not
to be sneezed at-a considerable man in his day.
Well, Jefferson reasoned when he looked on
sheep, and saw the wool growing on his back,
and was aware that in our climate, men needed
coats made from wool-he reasoned, say, that
if man was not meant to labor, the sheep was
not made right. If man wasn't intended to cut,
and wash, and card the wool, and spin it and
weave it into cloth, and have it cut into a coat
by tailor, then the sheep wasn't made right by
any means. If these gentlemen who believe
that man should not labor, had had the making
of the sheep, they would have made it with a
blue coat on its back, the bright metal buttons
hanging down in front. Laughter.]

A PRETTY CoNcEIT.-We saw lately, in the
parlor of a friend, very beautiful conceit 1t
is, Of course, the fancy of lady, and consists
of the burr of pine tree placed in a wine glass
half full of water, and from between the differ
ent layers of the burr are shooting forth green
blades, bright, beautiful, refreshing. For lit
tie thing, we have seen nothing that so pleased
us with its beauty and novelty. And the secret
is this the burr was found dried and opened
the different circles were sprinkled with grass
seed, and it was placed in a wine glass with
water in, as above. In few days the moisture
and nourishment gave the burr life and health,
the different circles closed and buried within
themselves the grass seed, and few days more
gave the seed also life, sprout and growth, and
now pyramid of living green, beautifully re-
ieved by the sombre hue of the burr, is the re-
suit, as pretty and novel parlor ornament as
we have for a long time seen.-Scientifc Arti-

One of the neatest replies ever heard in
legislative body, or anywhere else, was lately
made by Mr.. Tison, of Rockland, Maine
A member had replied to something Mr.. Tilson
had said, and pausing moment, he inquired if
he saw the line Of argument "Mr Speaker"
said he, Sin answer to the gentleman, would
say, hear the humming of the wheel, but ! do
not see any thread"

from the immense ingenuity Of his stratagems and
devices for misleading and deceiving the enemy,
his thorough knowledge Of the woods forests,
fields, and swamps OF his native region, where he
and his gallant band were perfectly at home while
their enemies became lost and bewildered in the
labyrinthine mates of underground and morass
The story above announced is . Iue reflex Of
those scenes and times, and its talented author
has most wildly portrayed, the.ein, the many ex
citing incidents and accidents Of q tenacious and
indefatgable struggle for Liberty, pursued un-
der the most adverse circumstances. Every chap
ter is replete with exciting and romantic inter
est, historically accurate, but with = sparkling
web of poetry woven through it. which makes it
at once q brilliant story and verscious record -
The strongly written descriptions Of events-the
ambuscade-the sudden sortie-the night-sttack
the wild charge and repulse-are all wonderful
as examples OF word painting, and equally true to
the actual facts.
In addition to these scenes Of herosm and lofty
daring, the SWAMP FOX is not without the gen.
tie charm Of love-story, for the working and the
effects of the tender passion depicted in its pa
ges, as truly and artistically ~ the sterner emo
tions, rendering the tale perfect picture Of life
and character in the Davs Of the Revolu ion which
cannot fail to appeal TO the admiration, and graf
lily the taste Of every reader who has spark Of
true patriotism in his soul.
The peculiar power and interest with which the
gifted author GEORGE ALBANY, ESQ, des-
cribes the thrilling period, is u guarantee of the
excellence Of this truly magnificent Historical Ro-
nance. The vivid delineation Of character, the
depth Of thought, the fascination of style the pic-
turesqus beauty Of description, and in word the
power Of language he commands, all combine to
render him one Of the most brilliant writers Of the
age, while his great appreciation of sympathy with
the pioneers in the Of universal liberty give
him n grasp of Revolutionary subjects possessed by
very few others. This has enabled him, in the
SWAMP FOX, to exhibit the life and adventures
