some compliment to the speech of the Hon.
ia r. NELSON on the GII.xER Resolutions
Col NELSON has taken the right stand and
uttered the right sentiments. The speech,".
saws the Banner, "comes like bright CLEAN of
sunshine from a clouded sky. 1t calls the
representatives ofthe country back 10 a sense
of their duty, and points out plain. pat
riotic and unexceptionahle way in which the
difficulties now existing can be removed,
and Congress at once organized. tdoes this
in mastery and impressive manner"
Which is as true as preaching. The local
Bqnner has received Our Musical Friend, con-
tanning among other pieces, "Love Not"
What is the use, we would like to know, of
setting such advice to music? Just as well
might you advise the girls not to die, or not
to be born. They are made to love just as
much as ten-cylinder press is made to print
newspapers, or Democratic platform is made
to humbug the people. Tell them not to die,
if you WILL and they may entertain your re-
quest, for if some of them would have faith
equal to their beauty, they would be immor-
tai; but don't tell them not to love. They
were made the chief institution of this coun-
try for the express purpose of carrying on
that business-to love and be beloved. But
if inconsiderate people will publish sach
music, we beg leave to suggest the follow
ing as companiOn-piece to " Love Not"
Oh, DON'T BE BORN

Glove NOT"
oh don't be born oh don't be born
see in such an act
This world is set with many a thorn,
And will dispute the fact
That life 10 but field Of corn,
Which Death will soon have reaped and stacked
II in your uncreated sphere,
You're blessed with rapture, joy and bliss,
With plenty OF FIRST rate Lager-beer,
And constant loves delicious kiss,
Leave not that world, by all that's dear 4.
Such things are monsrous scarce in this.
Our brightest dreams all end in smoke,
And those fade first we love the best,
Besides, this world is full Of folk,
And some for room rather pressed,
And you will find it no great joke
To scrouge your way among the rest
Then don't be born oh, don't, pray;
To you things here doubt look gay
To us they look uncommon bad;
And oh, far better you should stay
Where nov you than wish you hadi
The local Gazette, speaking of q literary
periodical, says that now is "a good time to
subscribe for the coming year." Then, put
US down for the whole of it, as our supply of

The Union has long article on the subject
of Vested Rights'-The Higher Law Doc
trine of Corporations" 1t is printed in bran
new type, and looks as if ii might really be
first rate reading, considering the politics of
the paper, and under the impression that it
might be something of the sort, we fell to
reading it but when we got down to the
beginning of the third paragraph, where it
talks about ''the sublime mission of the |
Democratic party we began to think the |
whole article belonged to the raging ca
nawl' style of political literature, and never |
having cultivated taste tor anything of that |
sort, We broke short off right there, and quit |
The Union contains well-written notice OF |
JACKsoN's Life of PARroN-we mean PARroS's |
Life of JACKSON. 1t thinks it is an honest |
book, but not without faults.
The speech of Col. NELSON, and other |
Congressional matters, take up most of the |
space of the Nelos. Legislative proceedings, |
advertisements and telegraphic news have |
crowded into the local department, and very |
nearly squeezed the editor ont.
