RIeHrs AND DUTIES OF MAx.-We hear in these days great deal respecting rights the rights of private judgment; the right of labor; the rights of property, and the rights of man. Rights are grand things divine things in this world of Gods; but the way in which we expeund those rights alas seems to me to be the very incarna- ton of selfshness. l can see nothing no ble in man who is forever going aboul calling for his own rights.
 Two thousand years ago there was One here on this earth, who lived the grandes life that ever has been lived yet; life that every thinking man, with deeper ol shallower meaning, has agreed to call Dl. vine. I read little respecting His rights or his claims of rights but have read 8 great deal respecting His duties; every act he did he called duty. 1 read very little in that life respecting His rights but I hear vast deal respecting Hi: wrongs wrongs infinite-wrongs borne with majestic, God-like silence. Hi reward His reward was the reward tha God gives to all His true and noble ones to be cast out in his day and generation and life conferring death at last; thos' were his rights!-G Robertson.

From the Savannah (Ga ) News
 Let it be Remembered.

That John Bell of Tennessee, the op- position candidate for President, voted in 1886 and 1858, for the reception of aboli- ton petitions by Congress, and that he was the Southern member who thus voted against his section.
 Let 1t be remembered, whenever this subject was brought before Congress, John Bell voted side by side with John Quincy Adams, and Joshua R. Giddings, rank ab- oltionists.
 Let 1t be remembered, that John Bell voted against the repeal of lAjs odious re- striction upon the South-the Missouri Compromise-and against the Kansas Nebraska bill; and that the American party of Georgia, in Convention, declared that any man thus voting was unworthy of confidence or of association with any polit- ical party at the South.
 Let il be remembered, that John Bell voted for the admission of California, vo- ung against such men as Berrien, Barn. well, of s. C., Butler, Clemens, Davis. of Miss. Dawson, and others, and with such men as Chase, of Ohio, Hamln, of Maine, Seward, of New York and Winthrop, of Massachusetts.
 Let it be remembered, that in 1858, John Bell, then Senator in Congress, voted against the admission of Kansas un- der the Lecompton Constitution, and that all parties at the South had previously de- clared that refusal to admit Kansas an der the Lecompton Constitution would be violation of good and plain Consti- tutonal right.
 Let it be remembered, that John Bell has repeatedly within the last two years, announced publicly that he would coalesce with the Black Republicans to save the Union.
 Let it be remembered, that Joha Bell has lately been interrogated as to whether he is in favor of the protection of the rights of slave property la the territories, and that he had refused to answer.
 Let it be remembered, that John Bel was prominently spoken of as candidate for the Black Republican nomination al Chicago.
 Let it be remembered, that John Bel is as far as it goes, identical with that of Black Republican party, both protesting to sustain the Constitution and the Union and the enforcement of the laws.
 Let it be remembered, that Edward Ev erett, the. opposition candidate for Vice President, subscribed to a testimonial te Charles Sumner, the notorious aboltIonlst and foul-mouthed calumniator of the South after he was justly caned by the lamente( Brooks.
 Let it be remembered. that this sam' Edward Everett said, in letter wrlttel long afterwards, that he agreed with thl slanderous liar, Sumner, lin the main lint of his argument" which argument was al attempt to prove that Southern slavehold CTS were inhuman, immoral, barbarous dishonest and dishonorable.
 Let it be remembered, that Edwar Everett voted for resolution declarin the right of Congress to abolish slaver and the slave trade in the District of Co lumbia.
 Let it be remembered, that Edward Ey erett voted for resolution declaring tha Congress ought to take measures 10 efe' the abolition of slavery in the District Columbia.
 Let it be remembered, that Edward Ey erett voted for a resolution declaring tha the rights of humanity, the claims of Jus tice, and the common good alike demand

THE MOTHER MouLDs THE MAN That 1t is the mother who moulds the man is sentiment beautifully illustrated by the following recorded observations of q shrewd writer:
 "When lived among the Choctaw h. dians, I held consultation with one of their chiefs respecting the successive stages of their progress in the arts of civilized life; and, among many other things, he informed me that at their start they made great mistake--they only sent boys to school. These boys came home intell- gent men, but they married uneducated and uncivifized wives and the uniform result was, the children were all like their mother. The father soon lost all his in- terest both in wife and children. And now, said he, if we would educate but one class of our children, we should choose the girls; for when they become mothers they educate their sons. This is the point, and it is true. No nation can become enlight- ened when mothers are not in good de- gree qualified to discharge the duties ol the home work of education.

Over the Mountain.

Like dreary prison walls
 The stern gray mountains rise, Until their topmost crags
 Touch the far gloomy skies; One steep and narrow path
 Winds up the mountains crest, And from our valleys leads
 Out to the golden West. dwell here in content, Thankful for tranquil days; And yet, my eyes grew din,
 As still I gaze and gaze Upon that mountain pass,
 That leads--or so it seems To some far happy land,
 Known in world of dreams. And as watch that path aU0t Over the distant hill, A foolish longing comes
 My heart and soul to fill; A painful, strange desire
 To break some weary bond; A vague unuttered wish
 For what might lie beyond In that far world unknown,
 Over that distant hill, May dwell the loved and lost, Lost-yet beloved still; l have yearning hope,
 Half longing, and half pain, That by that mountain pass "a They may return again. Space may keep friends apart, aas Death has mighty thrall; There is another gulf 4.tes3 Harder to cross than all; ec@ Yet watching that far road, 4 5 My heart beats full and fast; If they should come once more, If they should come at last See, down the mountain side The silver vapors creep; They hide the rock cliffs, They hide the craggy steep, They hide that narrow path ...-.. That comes across the hill, Oh, foolish longing cease,
 Oh, beating heart, be still!

The Dew.

 Iris not the copious rains alone Which bless the parched soil; The gentle dews, that nightly fall, Reward the sower's toil. 4 Unseen, unheard, the dews descend, Like sumber on the mind And on the thirsty hills and fields A blessing leave behind. In the cool stiffness of the night The dropping plants revive, The grass and every tender herb With their sweet influence thrive. See, lifted on each pointed blade, How bright the dew-drops shinei And learn in trusting, humble faith To trace the Hand Divine. That,though no clouds their fullness drop, In answer to our prayer; Still we may own, from day to day, Our God for us doth care.

THE FoRcE OF HABIT.-There was a boy in my class at school--says Sir Wal ter Scott-who stood at the top, nor could I, with all my efforts snpplant him. Day came after day, and still he kept his place, do what would, till at length 1 observed that when question was asked he al- ways fumbled with his finger at particu-
 lar button in the lower part of his waist coat. To move 1t, therefore, became ex- pedient in my eyes, and in an evil mo- ment it was removed with knife. Great was my anxiety to know tbe success of my measure, and it succeeded too we'll. When the boy was again questioned, his finger sought the button, but 1t was not to be found in distress he looked down for it; it was to be seen no more than to be felt. He stood confounded, and l took possession of his place; nor did he ever recover it, nor ever, believe, suspect who was the author of this wrong. Often, in after life, has the sight of him smote me as passed by him, and often have re- solved to make him some reparation, but it ended in good resolutions.--[ Lockharl's Life of Scott.

FREEMAsoNRY AND GRiDIRoNs.-A worthy police captain-says correspon- dent-- entertained fancy to become a freemason. A friend accompanied him to the place of meeting, which was in a building, the lower part of which was used as a place of entertainment. The neophyte was left in an apartment next to the servant room, while his friend went up stairs to assist in the opening ceremo- nies. A celtic maid, who caught glimpse of the stranger resolved to take part in his initiation, and procuring gridiron, placed it over the range. It twas not long before the captain, looking inquisitively through the door, saw the utensil reden- ing in the heat The recollection flashed through his mind that Masonic candidates had some peculiar ordeals which they were unable to encounter.
 "What is that, Bridget" he eagerly inquired.
 "And, shure," replied the Hibernian virgin, s:il's only the gridiron that 1 was tould to place over the coals.
 "Who told you" asked the eager cap. tain.
 And was it not the gentleman who come with yous'
 "What could he want with its' de- manded the captain.
 "And shure l can't tell" replied Brid. get. "They are often using it; it be- longs to the people above stairs. l al- ways heat it when they want to make a mason."
 This was too much for the excited cap tain and taking to his heels, he soon put safe distance between himself and the lodge. 4a
