OUR COUNTRY.

Oh weep for our country oh weep for the hour
When traitors are sainted, by fanatical power,
The dvincly appointed, by Almighty God,
For the enforcement of treason and spilling of
blood.
otis well they accept it," their hellish decree
Is, arm TO the teeth, the slave shall be free
Legislative enactments9 Congressional laws
Away with such trash, we've higher law clause |!
Poor wretchesl deluded, forsakcn in crime,
The peoples decree, their verdict in time,
viii reach you, will smitc you, and may God who
is just,
Have mercy upon you, FOR your traitorous lust
Oh weep for our country yes, weep for the slain,
BY a recrcant mob, though preachers disclaim
Completely or knowledge in the tragic affair,
Yet they try to excuse it with frantic despair.

How MUCH WILL FILL PIG.-The
Lynn Ne,cs, is to be held entirely respon-
sible for the following:
"a neighbor of ours was trying to
convince another neighbor that it was bet
ter to buy large pigs in the spring than
small ones, rs the former would cat little
moro. One of his reasons was the fol-
lowing: Last spring l bought little
pig from drover, and he was good for
eating but wouldn't grow much. Hc got
so after week or two, that he would cat
n bucket full at time, and then like Oh
iver Twist, call for more. Well, one
morning carried out watcr-bucket fill
of dough, and after he had swallowed it
all, / picked up tho pig and put him in
the Same bucket | had fed him from, and
the little varmint didn't fill IL half up."

To MAKE AN OBSTINATE Horse Pull.
"A correspondent of the Cotton Plant
er says, I" Let me tell you of an infallible
method of making a balky or an obsti-
nate horse or mule pull up hill or any
where else that his muscles are able to
carry him. Take small rope, IA plow
line for examplc,) double it, make loop
of the double end, and draw it snugly
around the under jaw Of the animal, just
behind his front teeth, with the loop un-
dcrneath. Throw the loose end over your
shoulder, and walk in the way he should
CO. holding fast and pull steadily and
firmly. Don't be troubled about him, for
he will follow without fail, after he has
discovered how you have got him. This
will also compel an animal to stand quiet
TO receive the bride or collar"

THE NAIL HIT.-Our cotemporary of
Tile Livingston Democrat hits the nail
upon the head: at would seem that
the republican party is determined TO
drive the country into a civil war. Their
language is not tire language of patriot
ism. Heretofore they have always de-
MED the intention to interfere with slave
ry in the States, but their present Ian
guage, in justifying and palliating the
crimes of Old Brown, who was guilty of
attacking an Independent State, would
seem to indicate their intention TO wage
war against the southern States. No
other deduction can be drawn from the
language"

NAMING OF A CoUNrY.--A member OF
the Mississippi Legislature at ono of its
late sessions, introduced a bill to change
the name Of certain county in that
State TO Cass county. One of the oppo-
sition moved as an amendment, that the
letter G be stricken out of the proposed
name. This motion created some laugh
ter at the expense of the member offer
ing. Nothing daunted, however, he arose
in reply and said, "Mr. Speaker, this is
the first instance that has come to my
knowledge in which member has had
the assurance, upon the floor Of any Leg.
islature, to propose to name a county qt'
ter kimSeL."

OUR SCH00L-ITs PRESENT AND FU-
9 TURE,

OUR ScHo0L-ITS PRESENT AND FU-
10 TURE.
There is no institution Of a public ma
ture that is capable of affording so much
real, substantial benefit to community
rs good school, conducted upon right
principles, where the habits and manners
OF the pupil receive attention, and where
the moral nature-the hearts cultiva-
ted and properly developed, as well as the
brain.
We have no sympathy with those edu-
Gators of the young who, in their zeal to
force upon the mind tho largest possible
amount of arithmetic, grammar, philoso-
ply, physiology, &C., neglect to join there
with true incentive motives to virtue, NOR
al purity, and strict integrity in word and
act. Children and youth should be
taught 10 be men and women, and the
school and family circle are proper places
10 begin and carry forward the great work.
The age demands manhood and no
manhood of tho progressive kind; the re-
al, tho determined, the jealous, in every
worthy pursuit and calling. And teach
ers that will strive thus to make men and
women of their pupils, giving them a
practical tite education, are those that we
need; and we believe we possess them in
the persons of those having charge of our
Union School Mr.. DUNCAN, we are in
formed, is New Englander by birth,
and received his education in some of the
most worthy institutions of Puritan land,
and hence is in possession Of the true the
ory of what constitutes genuine worth
and nobility of character; and we are sat
isfied that no part of his duty as IN emf
nent and properly qualified teacher will
be neglected.
Miss PEAKE, who has charge of the
primary department, is one of those mat
ter-of-fact ladies who loves the school
room and its duties, and labors constantly
and earnestly to instruct, TO Improve and
build up, with the vast variety of mnteri-
al presented to her hand, the perfect forms
of true excellence and worth-to educate
minds whose after life and characters will
give proper tone, spirit and bent to soci-
ETY., when they are called upon TO plan,
mature, and take the lead in carrying for
ward every good and noble enterprise.
Miss ANDERSON, though quite youth
full, seems we'll qualified to take charge Of
those just entering upon the most impor-
tant and often happicst era in their exist
enco-their school days-and good salts
faction, we believe, is given to those pa
rents who entrust to her to give the first
bent TO the mind of the youthful twigs
Of the family.
And now that our teachers will strive
to do their whole duty, let us urge upon
our citizens their obligations to teachers
and pupils. Let them visit the school
room. countenance, encourage and give a
helping hand to every measure calculated
10 benefit those for whom VIC all delight
to labor-ow Children; and then OIL
school will attain still greater cminencc
and ever bo the pride of our village, the
nursery of mind, morals and character.

EFFECTS OF BAD CoMPANY.-Tho ty-
pographcrs of New Jersey boast that there
is not single member Of their craft in
the penitentiary of that State, aud but
one in the State Legislature. We believe
there are some printers in both Houses
of Congress, who doubtlessly got there
by keeping bad company, as a printer,
notorious for his evil associations since
leaving the business, recently came near
being elected Governor Of State not q
thousand miles from Hudson River.

Gas.tar for TrelliseS. &c.

A gardener having occasion to newly
paint the wood work in the interior OF
his greenhouse, determined to make .
trial of the theory of the absorption Of
hea. by black co.or. with the view Of
promoting the maturity Of his plants and
shrubs by means of a greater quantity of
caloric. In the prep, ration Of the black
paint he used coal tar, that Is to say, tar
produced by the distillation Of coal in
the manufacture Of gas. This coal Tar,
beside the advantage Of its color. offers
considerable economy in painting. being
about one eighth of the price Of the ma.
terial generally used in mixing black
paint. The painting here in question
was executed before the setting in Of
winter. On the return Of spring the
ardener observed with no less surprise
than satisfaction that the spiders and
other insects which had infested bis green
house had totally disappeared. lie
m oreover, remarked tina. vine, trained
on an espalier hich, for the space of
two years, had been sensibly decaying.
and which he had purposcd to uproot for
the purpose of planting another in its
place. had acquired such renewed health
and vigor as to be capable of producing
excellent table grapes. Having applied
his new paint to the props, trellises, and
espaliers of all his sickly trees and
shrubs. as we'll as those which, though
in full bloom, were being devoured by
insects. success again crowned his ex per .
iment. Catcrpillars and snail. disap.
peared as rapidly as the insects had van.
ished from the greenhouse. The fruits
produced by the trees thus treated have
elected the approval and eulogy Of pur.
chasers. Similar experiments tried on
the vineyards Of Il Girondc have. it is
said, been attended by the same excel J..

In December last, number of minis
ter. met at Worcester, and after consid-
ering the question eff Slavery and its re-
lations to the Churche. of the North de.
termined upon measures to inaugurate
an organized movement to declare the
position of the Church upon this ques-
ton; and in accordance with this object
a more general conference was held on
the lst and 2l Of the present month, and
The Church Anti-Slavery Society OF
the United States" formed with con-
stitut on and the following declaration Of
principles:
1.-The rights Of man, as man, sacred
and inalienable, without distinction of
blood or races.
I.-Property in man impossible. as
being without grant from the Creator,
and equally contrary to natural justice
and to revealed religion.
III.-The system of American slavery
and the practice Of slave-aoldins, essen
italy sinful and anti-Christian, and to be
dealt with, therefore, as such, by Chris
tian churches and ministers.
lV.-The utter inadequacy and i'm
possibility of any remedy or rt lief from
slavery, but one that insists upon It's in
hcrent wrongfulness, its total intrinsic
baseness, and denies absolutely the wild
nd guilty fantasy that man can have
property in man!
V.-The duty of one family or section
of the Christian church to rebukc and
refuse fellowship to another section OF
tho visible church, that denies the rights
of man and the common brotherhood OF
humanity, by defending slavery and fold
ing to is bosom, slave sellers, slave buy
ers and Shareholders.
Vino compromise with slavery a.
lowable, but its total extinction to be de-
manded at once, in the name of God,who
has commanded: ITO loose the bands OF

VIT.-The total abolition Of the vas,
system of American slavery to be accep'
ted as the providential mission and duty
of the American clergy and the Ameri-
can churches of this generation.
VIII.-The church and the ministry
to form the conscience of the nation in
respect to slavery, and to make it loyal
to the law of God, against all unjust
judgments of courts, and unrighteous
legislation Of Congress.
