SENATOR BENJAMIN's FAREWELL T

/ SENATOR BENJAMIN's FAREWELL TO
The CONSTITUTIONAL MEN OF TIE NORTH
Senator Benjamin concluded his elo-
quent farewell to the Senate on Monday
last, in the following language, addressed
to the patriotic men of the North who
have stood by the Constitution and main
tain the rights of all the States
"But to you, noble and generous friends,
who, born beneath other skies, possess
hearts that beat in sympathy with ours /;
to you vino, solicited and assailed by mo-
tives the most powerful that could appeal
to selfish natures, have nobly spurned
them all (; to you who in our behalf have
barred your breasts to the fierce beatings
ot the storm, and made willing sacrifice Of
lite's most glittoring prizes in your devo-
ton to constitutional liberty; to you who
have made our cause your cause, and from
many of whom feel that now part for
ever what shall I-can say! Naught, I
know and feel, is needed for myself. But
this will say for the people in whose
name l speak to-day. Whether prosper
Gus or adverse fortunes await you, one
priceless treasure is yours, the assurance
that an entire people honor your names,
and hold them in grateful and affectionate
,oucnlng return shall your unselhsh devo'
ton be rewarded, when, in after days, the
the story of the present shall be written
when history shall have passed her stern
sentence on the erring men who have drlv'
en- unoffending breathren from the shelter
of their common home, your names will
derive fresh lustre from the contrast, and
when your children shall hear oft repeated
the familiar tale, it will be with glowing
cheek and kindling eye. Their very
shouts will stand tip toe as their sires are
named, and the will glow of their lineage
from men of spirits as generous, and IL
patriotism as high hearted, as eveI illus
trated or adorned the American Senate.

A PHILosoPHER.-The local editor of
the st. Louis RtpuJlican, is responsible
for the following:
Elsewhere will be found a record of the
fact that man was held for trial in the
Recorders Court, yesterday, for stealing
a wash-tub. The facts of the case-ob-
tanned from responsible authority-are
said to be these The man is philosoph-
er. Originally he was disciple of Epi-
GURUS, and boarded at one of our popular
hotels until be became troubled with the
dyspepsia. This troublesome disorder
upset all his epicurean philosophical
theories, and he at once gave up the use
of large collection of quack medicines
and took to lager Seer and the vegetarian
theory, for the purpose of becoming a
stole. He succeeded so well with this
theory that he speedily advocated the
doctrine of Antithscnes, and fenounced all
pleasures, and maintained that abstinence
is the highest object of human exertion.-
Having read of Diogenes and his tub, he
was at once impressed with great admira-
ton for the man, and it is supposed that
it was for the purpose of practically il
Illustrating his philosophical theory, in imi-
tation of Diogenes, that he purloined the
washtub previously mentioned. AS the
Recorder belongs to a different school of
philosophers, he sent the unfortunate dis
ciple of Diogenes to Jail.

THE VOICE THAT WINS ITS WAY.

II words could satisfy the heart
The hearth might find less care
But words, like summer birds, depart,
And leave but empty air.
A little said, and truly said,
Can deeper joy impart
Than hosts of words which reach the head
But never touch the heart.
A voice that wins its sunny way
A lonely home to cheer,

But, q, those few, how dear

THE GROWTH OF THE VEST. The
returns of the census, says HarpNr's Week.
~, of 1860, which have been made public,
reveal growth of population in our Wes-
tern States that is unexamplcd in history.
In ten years six States-to wit, OHIO,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and
Wisconsin-have increased from less than
four millions to nearly eight. They have,
besides this, peopled Minnesota, an entirely
new State, and thrown few hundred
thousand people into the Pixies Peak
Region, Washington Territory, and Ore
gon. They have built moro miles of
FagyAK, jhhq,n athf,n New york and Penn:
sylvania be omitted from the comparison,
we will venture to say that they have more
cities, better hotels, school houses, and
churches, than all the rest Of the country
together. The men still live who remem-
Der to have walked over the bare prairie
where Chicago now rears her splendid
face; unless present appearances are very
deceptive indeed, many of us who read
this will live to see Chicago the most
populous city on the continent.
For eight millions of working people are
a mighty fact. Much has been said and
written about the delinquency of the West
in the matter of debts. No doubt Wis.
consin has something to answer for in the
way of stay-laws and repudiated mort
cages; some other States, too, will need
by.and.by, to clear their record of certain
laws and legal proceedings of the hare
times But it must be remembered tina
the West relies solely for subsistence on it
crops, and they really had not a good crol
there between 1856 and 1860. Two gooC
crops in the West enable a man to pay TO
his land. Two bad crops make him
, bankrupt. The creditors of the West vii
get good news from there this spring.

HINTS FOR THE SEAsoN.-Now is the
time to cut your bean poles and pea brush
get them ready for summer. You can
spare the time better now than when your
corn wants ploughing, &c. If you have
saw.logs or lumber to get, cart them on
the sled-get a cant hook-it will save
many lame back in loading logs--an
old piece of wagontire will make one.-
Get your tools mendcd-look to your har'
ness-provide hame straps, &c, Remem'
ber time now is not so valuable as in mid
summer. Clear off a spot for buckwhea'

is best for turnips. Get good woodpil'

Execution of Colonel Hayne.

Among the distinguished men who fell
victims during the war of the American
Revolution, was Colonel Isaac Hayne, of
South Carolina /; a man, who by his amia-
bility of character aud high sentiments OF
honor and uprightncss, had secured the
good will and affection of all who knew
him. He had wife and six small chill.
dren, the Oldest boy l3 years of age
His wife, to whom he was tenderly at
tached, fell victim to disease an event
hastened not improbably by the inconve-
nicnce and sufferings incident to a state of
war, in which the whole family largely
participated. Col. Hayne himself was ia
ken prisoner by the British forces, and in
short time was executed on the gallows
under circumstances calculated to excite
the deepest commiseration. A great num-
Der of persons, both English and American
iHtcrccded for his life. The ladies of
Charleston signed petition in his behalf ;
his motherless children were presented Oh
their bended knees as humble suitors for
their beloved father but all in vain. Du.
ring the imprisonment of the father, the
eldest son was permitted to stay with him
in prison. Beholding his only surviving
parent, for whom he felt the deepest af-
fection loaded with irons and condemned
to die, he was overwhelmed with con>ter
nation and sorrow. The wretched father
endeavored to console him, by reminding
him that the unavailng grief of the son
tended only to increase his own misery
that we came into this world merely tc
die; and he could even rejoice that his
troubles were so near an end.
