Scalhins Rebuke.

In the debate upon the Cuba ques
ton, Mr. Seward characterized it a
''the miserable, pitiful, false, fabulous
pretended issue which the Presiden
Of the United States has forced up.
Oh us.
Mr. Toombs replied to the scurril
GUS assault as follows:
But the Senator from New York
is extremely valorous. | tell him
that he has one valor that | never
want to have | never expect to
stand in this body and say the gen.
tleman occupying the Chief Msgis-
tracy Of this country has uttered SEN
timentS false, fabulous and pretend
ed. This charge is brought against
the President Of the United States.
For forty years he has served bis
country. For forty years he has had
the confidenGs Of one OF the largest
States Of this Commonwealth. For
forty years be has held the relation
Of Il gentleman here. For forty years
be has been ready to defend his per-
sonal honor rs gentleman, whency-
er it was asSailed. He has held him
self responsible everywhere. in this
body and elsewhere, to maintain his
personal honor wherever it was as
sailed; and is it courageous in a gen
tleman who is not ready to defend his
own anywhere toassail The Chief Mag
istrate of the country with language
that he dare not apply to a gentle
man in position to make him re-
sponsible; that he dare not apply to
me? That is the point. Sir, / cali
the attention of the country TO it.
I say his position forbids the Presi.
deNt from replying to it. His posi-
ton as President an Chief Magistrate
of this country throws him out OF
the way Of that defence Of his per-
sonal honor which becomes every
gentleman here. Even if | believed
it. as man of honor, with reference to
his position as Chief Magistrate of
my country, | think no Senator
should use such language 1t is un-
becoming the Senate. | say it is
the language which no Senator re-
sponsible for what he says would ut
ter; while but few men, connected as

with the Democratic party, find few
er causes Of agreement than | do
with the Chi.f Magistrate, yet feel
it my duty to repel this charge. Sir,

GRUMBLING.

What on earth is gained by this
pueriIe, moan, and diabollcal practice?
1t is uDmanly, unwOmanly, ungodly,
foolish, and demoralizing. Nothing
is gained thereby-itis is uDsocial, disa-
greeable, cowardly, contemplate, and
devilish. 1t is unworthy OF man,
woman, or child-of anything but
fiends and demons. Show me 3
habitual grumbler and | will show
YOU a weak mind, an unsocial, IN
happy person, and small, unpro,
gressive stunted soul. 1t is a habit
of the most injurious nature aGt
worst tendency. God has surrounded
us with blessings innumerable, given
us every cause TO be thankful, and a
repining grumbling spirit is iebel-
lious and insulting toward the Most
High. Let no grumbler imagine
himself pious. Piety makes men
happy.

A RADICAL CHURCH. "A new
church movement was started on
Sunday, the 10Th inst, in New York,
when Rev. Geo. T. Noyles, late Of
Chicago, opened an independent
meeting at Hope Chapel. The new
church is to be free from all rents,
and entirely radical. Its founder, Mr..
No yles. proclaimed in his opening
sermon, that "he accepted the teach
ings of the grand old Bible; but be
would not admit the Bible to be alb
solutely infallible, and would reject
lis teachings whenever they disagreed
with the promptings Of his soul. He
was for absolute freedom in reli-
gion, and upon that foundation stone,
he concluded the future American
Church must be erected" Rev.
Mr.. Longfsllow, of the Unitarian
Church, Brooklyn, was present, and
warmly s. mpathized with the move
ment of Mr.. Noyles.

Interesting to the Bearded.

A writer in the Boston Post has
the following communication:
- have seen it stated someW here
that there is au intimate connection
between the nerves and muscles Of
the face aud eyes. and allowing the
beard to grow strengthens the eye.
It is said that surgeons in the French
army have proved, by experiment in
Alric', that soldiers wearing the
beard are much less liable to diseases
of the eye, and it is geoeral,y conced-
ed that it is protection, from diseases
OF the throat and lungs. Il is asseE-
ted that in countries where it is the
custom TO wear the beard the eye re-
tains its lusire and briiiiancy mnch
longer. Il may be urged chat fe.
males do not suffer mere than males
from diseases OF the eve. &C., but it
must be admitted they are less ex-
posed to the elements. What did
the Creator give the lords Of creation
beard for? Certainly not TO support
BARRIERS. There is just as much sense
in shaving the head as the chin.

The other day We SAW several Irish
laborers trying to decipFer a notice
headed "public sale" The notice,
although written tolerably plain, could
not be read by the Emeralders, and
they requested Us to read it ior them,

conclusion, one Of them turned to

Three thinos are very eyident

Three things are very evident:
No man will ever be convicted in the
North Of aiding the escape Of fugi-
tive slaves, or outraging the persons
Of slave hunters; no one will ever be
convicted in the South Of participa-
ting 10 the slave trade or lynching a
suspected lreesoiler; and no one will
ever be convicted in any section of
numbering the seducer of bis wife
or his daughter OF sister.

An angels tongue could nerer tell
My deep, deep alteration.
l went TO her and told her so,--
And o twas heaven on earth to know,
She loved me an proportion"
Thus far with me, all things went ri sht,
The future seemed so glorious bright,
longed its bliss to prove,
0 ne'er a flower bloomed in my sight,
Or bird sung sweet, or stars soft light
But resem bieG her loved.
Her brow is as the lily fair,
Her cheeks like blooming roses are,
Her eyes. are blue as Heaven;
Dark as night is her braided hair
0 all things, good, and bright, to her.

From mornings dawn till ewes twilight.

Of sunbeams; from the darkest mood
Twould win you,--if you could be won
Whether she smiles, or sings, or talks,
Or dances, laughs, or simply walks,
'Tis done as she can do, alone.
When she laughs;--from her rsry soul
Il seems to gush, without control
And her voice,--is muSic's own.
But digress, and do forget
That It's high time that l should quit
But just hold until you see
Sometimes to love IS a woful state,
Aud to be loved as bad fate,
I'll prove 10y what befel me.
Now she is fair, and she is good,
And has the tn:--is understood

Then why unhappy? you Will say;
Why she will never run away,

Still madly, still unblest,

That burns within my breast:
