TO YOUNG MEN.

In lecture to young men, recently delivered at
Mobile by the Rev. DIR. Lord. We find the following
suggestive passage:
9Dare the young husband at the altar ofthe most
High God swear to cherish and protect, until death
shall break the golden chain, the iairand tmid girl
who stands at his SIDE who forsakes for him the ia
theirs care and the mothers tenderness, and then
90 away to the paths Of sin, and brutalize himself
until dead? Dare he bring dishonOr upon the wife
Of his bosom and leave in misery and want what
he found in beauty and happiness?
Dare he substitute a dwelling drunkard for the
promising youth, who, in the glory his manhood
vowed before heaven and in the presence Of angels
and men, to be to her in the place of-nay more
all kindred and friends? Dare he leave to his
innocent children the inheritance Of an evil name,
the corrupting influence Of an evil example, and
worse than all the constitutional tants, prohigacy
or incompetence, the fearful law by which the
Supreme Judge visits the iniquities Of the father
upon the children"
To see as ''far into the milestone as the man
who picks it," requires you to weigh every bag of
flour you purchase.
I'm union there is strength as the landlady
said when she mixed lard with butter for her
boarlcrs.
As Il man drinks he generally grows reckless;
in his case the drains the fewer the scruples.
4 philosopher, who married a vul gar but anna
bic girl, used to call his wife Brown Sugar, be-
cause, he said, she was sweet but unrefned.

TRANsPLANTED FLOWERS.

A Gardner has a garden
Where thousand Flowers are,
He watches DER them fOndly,
And makes them all his care.
The soft mild rain he gives them,
And yondcr sunshine bright,
And grow they must, and flourish,
To yield him pure delight.
We see them freshly blooming,
And watch their growth the while;
We see the tendrils spreading,
Our hearts with JOY they fill.
At length the Gardner cometh,
He lays them on his breast,
And safe to Heaven he bears them,
In brighter beauty drest.
lie plants them in his garden
In yOnder Paradise,
Which never, like this dark world,
In dust and ashes lies.
Thou Gardner, kind and faithful,
o! when our turn shall come,
To heavenly fields transplant US,
TO our celestial Home

KILL Your FIsH.-A Frenchman who has re-
Gently visited Holland to inspect their fisheries,
says, in speaking Of them, that being surprised at
the difference of Dutch fish, both fresh and salted
sea and fresh water fish, to French fish, the former
being superior to the latter both in firmness and
flavor, le at the pains Of inquring into the
causes which produced this difference. He dis
covered that it accident but was the result
of simple operation. The Dutch kill their fish
the moment they take them out of the water,
whereas most ofpersons, the French among them,
allow fish to expire after enduring the tOrmcnts of
long agony, which acts upon the fish precisely
as disease would act; softcnng the flesh and in
fecting them with principles of dissolution. No
body eats chickens or sheep which die by disease
why should we eat fish that die by languor?

WORTH KNOWING, IF TRUE.-Wm. L. Morgan,
of Pottsvillc, Warren county, Indiana, says that
seed from the butt end of an ear Of corn will ripen
its product all at the same time, and some three
weeks earlier than seed from the little end Of the
car. He recommends farmers always to break
their seed corn ears in two in the middle, and only
use the butt ends for seed

very truly yours,
r. p. RANNEY.

o. Central A. c.. Dodge has accepted
the Democratic nomination for Governor IN
Iowa, and will shortly take the stump. The
following are reported by the Dubuque Her
aE to be his positions Oh the pending ques-
tions Of the day:
lst. He is unequivocally and bitterly op.
posed to a slave code made for the Terrific
ries by Congress, and will give it no coun-
tenanCe whatever.
ID. He regards the reopening of the slave
trade as detestabe and impossible, and as at
war with the Democratic party, and an at
tempt to renew it would be an outrageous in
sultto the civilization Of the age, and the gen.
eral signal for the disbandiBg Of the party.
Sd. He is in favor fmaking the lait and
dire :! vote Of the whole of the qualified yO
ters OF Territory upon every part of the
constitution an absolute prerequisite to the
admission of the Territory into the Union
as State. And at no time since he has
been in public life would he have consented
10 the admission of territory as State in
to the Union untilthe constitution had been
fairly submitted to the people without force
or fraud. In holding this doctrine he isbut
carrying out the very principle involved in
the admission of our own State. When
Congress had changed our boundary, as
delegate, he refused to accept The change un-
til the whole matter wss submitted to our
people. and they voted upon it.
4th He holds sacred the doctrine Of Popu'
lar Sovereignty, as SCI forth in the Kansas
Nebraska Bill, and as interrupted by his own
speeches, in which he told Mr., Soule he
would fight against slavery in the Legitimate
way; he would vote against and never yield
in its favor until outvSted, and then he would
bow 10 the sovereign will of the majority,
and here he now stands. He is opposed to
all Congressional interference, in any form
whatever, or for any person whatever, in con-
flict with the rights Of the people in regula-
ting their domestic institutions in their own
way.
9th. He is heartily in favor Of a Home
stead Law, and was its friend long before the
birth of the Republican Party,

To White LabOring TIen of Ohio,

AO w HIT AhWOllHH Ich VI VhlO,
The Republican party of Ohio, if we are
to believe its stumpers and editors, is pledged
10 look after the interests Of the free white
laboring men, What it has ever done, or
proposed to do, which will result in any ben
eff to the poor white man, is more than we
Can tell. When the Republicans had the
power in 1867, they passed series Of laws
which were intended to nullify the U. S. law
for the return of lug tive slaves. Had these
laws been suffered to remain on the statute
books, Ohio would erc long have been over
run with escaped negroes, whose labor would
at once have been put in com petition with
that Of the poor free ChiLe men. Safe from
their former masters in Ohio, it is not to be
supposed that they would simply pass thro'
the State 20 Canada, as hundreds now do ev-
cry year. They would iemain among us,
hire 10 our farmers and Gurnacemen at less
wages than the poor white men can afford 10
to work for, and thus irivc free lUhite
labOriag men from the State.
This would be the inevitable result of the
notification or repeal of what the Republi-
can leaders term the "opIoUs" Fugitve.slave
Law. /; is "odious" to them because it
provides for sending isasrGRt escaped ne
groes back 10 their masters, and prevents
their laber from coming in competition with
that @! white men.
The entire policy of The Republican leaders
has been to encourage the emigration of ne
groes to the free States, and protect them
there, despite the law and the officers engag
ed in executing it. We are opposed to such a
policy, and believe that every poor white man
ought TO be. Let the slave holders keep
their negroes-we don't want them in Ohio,
at all events; and whether running away or
emancipated, it can make no sort of differ
ence to poor White men, whom the Republi.
can policy, if triumphant, will seriously in
iure. Every few days wo notice that some
person from the South has come 10 Ohio and
set free his negroes; and at short intervals
we hear of stampede o! blacks in Kentucky
or Virginia, and their safe arrival in Ohio. II
the white men suffer this business to be car.
ried on, how long will it be ere Ohio will be-
come second Sierra Leone! Poor, but hon.
est white men Of Ohio, have you thought
about these matters ! Verify, it is time you
had net only thought but acted

The Unity Of the Democracy.

Never, in all our experience as an editor,
have we known the Democratic party to be
in more healthy, united and hOurIshing con-
dtion, especially in the State of Ohio, Than it
is at the present time, Every cause Of chism
has been entirely removed, every kind ofbad
feeling has been completely obiterate1 and
our good old party now occupies position
that cannot fail 10 be gratifying to every
friend of good government and Republican
Institutions.
The subject Of Lecomptonism' and can
i.Lecomptonism,' (which somewhat distra Ct
ed and divided our ranks during the last two
years, has become thing of history, and be-
longs 10 the past. Kansas has quit "b eed

prevail throughout the length and breadth oG
The land.
Such being the happy and harmonious con,

are perfectly safe in concluding that a gori
