The Power OF THE EMPIRE STATE
In commenting upon the resolutions re-
Gently adopted by the New York Legis-
lature, the Albany Journal says:
New York tenders the General Gov
ernment whatever aid in men and mon
ey may lie required In this, her peo-
pc are in earnest. 1t may may seem n
somewhat bold assumption for single
State to speak thus confidently of her
power. But New York has right to
speak thus. Her voice is the voice from
four millions of freemen. All the States
that have seeded, together with all the
States that talk of seeding put together,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
North Carolina and Arkansas, do not
contain so many white inhabitants by
four hundred thousand as the single
State of New York. The whole Of the
nine Ofdinances of Secession, if there are
to be n'ne seceling States, (and there
will n y even Unanimously sanctioned
by their people, as we know they are not)
are met and coun:erba'anced by the sim
Gle State of New York.
As for Men, she can muster in four
and twenty hours moro armed and dis
cipIned Troops than all the Cotton States
pat together can br NO into the field in
year. As for Money, where does any
great public euterpr;se expect to obtain it
except from the Golfers other Metropolis
The General Secessiouists themselves
ca not raise money OH their best State
Securities unless the City of New York
VIII lond it to them. 1t is no idle boast,
t zen for the State Of New York to say
that che can and will furnish nil that may
DO needed in tue way Of MEN and
Money

THEN AND Now.-When, about ten
years ago, Willard Fillmore was Pre- ident
Of the United States, and the frolicsome
Palmcttoes- threatened to cut up some of
their odd shines, that excellent executive
officer caused strong body Of troops to
be quietly put in Fort Moultre. The
gay and gallant Palmettoes awoke one
time morning and found this awkward
fact suddenly starring them it the face
weerc upou their chivalric Governor wax
ed wroth and applied to President Fill
more for an explanation. Sir was the
answer, 'the President of the United
States is not responsible for his official
conduct TO the Governor of South Caro-
lima The amiable President then in
office did not particularly affect lconine
or heroic qualities; but he understood his
duty to the Constitution1..e was sworn to
support, and his vigorous mode of con-
fronting rebellion nippcd it in the lud, to
the great satisfaction of every body except
the combustible and explosive Palmett"es.

GREAT MEN.-A great man is always
willing to be little. While he sits on the
cushion of advantage he goes to sleep
When ho is pushed and disappointed,
tormented, defeated, he has chance to
learn something; he has been put on his
ignorance; is cured OF the insanity of con-
ceis; has got moderation and real skill
The wss man always throws himself on
the side of his assaiants. 1t is more to
his interest than it is theirs to find his
weak point. The wound cicatrizes and
falls off from him like dead skin, and
when they would triumph, 10! he has
passed on invuInerable. AS long as all
that is said is against me, feel certain
assurance of success. But as soon rs hon.
eyed words ofpraise arc spoken for me, [
feel as one that lies unprotected before his
enemies.-R. W. Emerson.

We sing "0ur Countrys song to night
With saddened voice and eve: :
Her banner droopsin clouded light
Beneath the wintery sky. '.
Wen pledge her once in golden wine,
Before her stars have set
Though d I'M one reddening orb may shine,
We have count v yet.
'Fwere vain to sigh Ger errors past,
The fault of sires or sons
Our soldier heard the threatening blast.
And spiked his useless guns
he saw the star-wreathed ensign fall
BY mad invaders torn; s
But saw it from the Fashioned wall
That laughed their rage to scorn
What though their angry cry is flung
Across the bowling wave
They smite the air with idle tongue
The gathering storm who brave,
Enough ofspeech the trumpet rings:
Be silent, patient, calm
God help them if the tempest swings
The pine against the palm !
Our toilseme years have mad us tame
Our strength has slept unfrlt
The furnace fire is slow to flame
That bids our plowshares melt
It's hard to lose the bread we win
In spite of Nature frowns--
To drop tho iron threads We spin
That weave our web of towns,
To see tie rustling turbines stand
Before the emptied flames,
To fold the arms that flood the land
With rivers from their looms
But harder still for those who learn
The truth forgot so long;
When once their slumbering passions burn,
The peaceful are the strong.
The Lord have mercy on the weak,
And calm their frenzied ire,
And save our brothers ere they slrick
1--WE played with northern fire.l"
The eagle hold his mountain height
The tiger pace his den
Give all their country, each his light

A SURE CURE FOR FELoH.-When
the soreness first commences, or even
when far advanced, it can be relieved
and entirely cured by holding tho finger
or part afflicted in Perry Davis Pain
Killer for half an hour. 1t has been

failing remedy. A felon is trouble
some thing, and we would advise oil 90
