A Lofty and Eloquent Senti-
mcnf.

In the speech which Governor Seward
delivered at Madison, occurs the following
noblo sentiment, which will live and be
admired when all the balderdash of the
day has passed to nothingncss. 1t is the
loftiest of political wisdom and will be re-
melnbercd by men of all parties and all
creeds: ,,..-. .7....-... = T..
1T has been by q simple rule Of inter
pre- alton 1 have studied the Constitution
ofmy country. That rule has been
simply this: That by no word, no act, no
combination into which I might enter
should any one human being of all the
generations to which | belong. much less
any class of human beings of any nation,
race, or kindred, be oppressed and kept
down in the least degree in their efforts
to raise to a higher state of liberty and
happiness. Amid all tie CLOSES of the
times, amid all the essays and discussions
to which the Constitution If the United
States has been subjected, this has been
the simple, plain, broad light in which ]
have read every article and every section
of that great instrument. Whenever ii
requires of me that this hand shall keep
down the humblest of the human race,
then will lay down power, place, post
ion, fame, every thing rather than adopt
such construction or such q rule. If,
therefore, in tins land there are any who
would rise, say to them, in Gods name,
COOL speed! If there are in foreign lands
people who would improve their condit-
ion by emigration, or if there be any
here who would go abroad in search of
happiness, in the improvement of their
condition, or in their elevation toward n
higher state ofdignity and happiness,the
have always had, and they always shall
have, cheering word and such efforts
rs can consistently mako in their behalf.

that young lad can acquire is that Of
implicit and faithful obedience to his pa

do not mean that be should simply do
what be is bid, but that he should do il
in a faithful and cheerful manner. A
child may do the precise things required
and in the precise manner desired, and
still there may be but very little if any
obedience about it. If 1t be not accom-
panied with a wish or desire to obey, it is
but a negative obedience at best, but if
reluctaRtly or peevishly there is no obedi-
ence there.
/ Obedience seems, at best, but small

care of parents. Noble-hearted boys
