The World O,vs me 4 Living.

This is one of the vile, stereotyed false
hoods that loafcrs and rogues of all sorts
use as an apology for their laziness or
rascalites.
The Jeremy Didler, who spongeS on
society, comforts himself with the idea that
he is thus only getting some Of the debt
which the world owes, him.
The thief sometimes intimateS that, in
helping himself out Of somebody's till, he
was merely taking his own. II was part
of the debt uncancelled that society-that
enormous baukrupt-had refused to pay.
The whole theory is false and fraudulent
The rule is the reverse. We owe the
world an upright life, and in return the
world will give us living
The lounger about the grog shops-we
have none, now, by the way, to speak of, in
Mane-or other places ofloaGug-may fold
his arms in idleness, under the consolation
of being so large a creditor but We'll just
tell him how the world will pay him ultlm
ately. 1t will square of by an installmeni
of hunger, poverty, contempt, degradation
aud the alnshouSe. 1t will give him ricE
dividends of scorn and starvation, finally
pay him in full with six feet Of earth in The
pauper's grave. Perhaps as he goes along
he will receive occasional payments 'OI
account by generous offers on the coun
ty Jail or the State prison. In the latter
place we believe the world literally throws
in new suit Of clothes of beautifully Varl
egated colors.

We learn saws the Norwalk Ct Gazet

We learn, says the Norwalk, CT. Gazette,
that the Mayor Of Bridgeport, had some
time since warned the proprietors of tho
Farmer that unless the course of the paper
was changed he could not guarantee its
safety. 1t certainly had warnings" enough
in the almost total withdraw of patronage
by its oldest friends and longest supporters,
& the repeated mportnnites Of life long de-
mocrats. The property destroyed amounts
to about $4,000 and after the official
notification given by the Mayor, falls entire
ly upon its owners, without recourse to
indemnity, as We learn. We were inform
ed also that although one of its proprietors
has been in possession of very lucrative
position under Government for the last nine
years, such has been its management during
the illness of its senior proprietor that it
has not only eaten up its own income, but
Swamped all that accrued from government.
From this condition Of affairs it is very
evident that treason is not q very paying
institution, though it may exists in Con-
necticut for a season.

NOT YE II.
By wM. CULLEN BRYANT.

Oh country, marvel CT the earth
Oh realm, to sudden greatness grown
The age that goried in thy BIRTH
Shall it behold the overthrow
Shall traitors lay that greatness low
No. Land of Hope aud Blessings, No
And we who wear the glorious name,
Shall we, like cravens, stand apart,
When those whom thou has trusted, aim
The deathblow at thy generous heart
Forth goes the batle,cry, and low
Hosts rise 10 harness, shouting No
And they who founded, in our land,
The power that rules from sea to sea,
Bled they in vain, or vainly planned
TO leave their country great and free ?
Their sleepless ashes, from below,
Send up the thrilling murmur, No
Knit they the gentle ties, which long,
These sister States were proud to wear,
And forged the kindly links so strong,
For idle hands in sport to tear
For scornful hands aside to throw
No, by our fathers memory, No
Our humming maTts, our iron ways,
Our wind tossed woods on mountain, crest
The horse Atlantic, with his bays,
The calm broad Ocean of the West,
And Mississippis torrent flow,
And loud Niagara, answer, No
Not yet the hour is nigh, when they
Who deep in Eds dim twilight sit,
Earths ancient kings, shall rise and say,
proud Country, welcome to the pit
So soon art thou, like us, brought low p
No, sullen group Of shadows, No
For now behold the arm that gave
The victory in our fathers day,
Strong, as of old, to guard and save
That mighty arm which none can stay
On clouds above qpd fields below,
Writes in mems sight the answer, No

Democracy of Butler Country.

A meeting of the Democracy in Butler
Co., was held at Hamilton on Saturday,
and after an exciting session series of re-
solutions strongly tinctured with secession
and endorsing the course of G. L Vallan-
bingham in Congress were adopted. A
very large number of Democrats were indg-
nant and dsgusted, and the men nominated
for county officers, are alarmed about the
platform and talk of resigning, though the
nomination of Democratic convention has
always been equivalent to an election in
Butler, the Democratic majority ranging
from one thousand to fifteen hundred. 1t
was remarked that the men who were most
prominent in the Vallandingham faction in
the convention were the Breckenridge Bolt
ers. The Hamilton Telegraph, the old
Democratic organ, denounces the proceed
ings of the Vallandingham faction with
bitterness. The attempt of the political
desperadoes to build up the Democratic
party at this moment by offering aid and
comfort to the enemies of the government
has resulted in tearing the party to pieces.
and securing its ignominous overthrow 10 q
county which has been the most decidedly
Democratic ofany since the days Of jackson.

HE THouGHT OF DEsMEMDER1Ne THIS I'm.
ION, says the hon. Joseph Holt of KY. which
has been the source of all our strength and
all our joys as nation, can be entertained
by no true man Dismemberment would in
volye the abasemCnt Of all Of which we, as
Americans have so long and so Justly been
proud, and the complete ruin of that grand
inheritance which we have received from
our fathers, and which it is our duty to
transmit undiminished in its blessings to our
descendants. 1t would conduct Us from
palaces Of prosperity and power to novels
of wretchedness and graves Of dishonor.
When the wise man of old, sitting 10 judg.
ment upon the rival claims of two mothers
to the possession Of the same child, decreed
that it should bo cut in twain, and that
one half should be given to one claimant,
and the other half to the other, it was
the false mother who accepted and exulted
in the judgment, while the true mother
turned away with horror, preierring TO CON-
NIT the life Of her offspring to the keeping
of even her own enemy, rather than that it
should thus perish The flial and the ma
ternal instincts are in this regard the same.
The man who is willing that this prosper
ous and free country shall be severed by the
sword Of treason now suspended over it,
may have been born upon American soil,
but be has no American heart in his bosom.
The true son of the republic, like the true
mother, tnrns away from the proposal With
Indignation and adherence.

To say--"it is submitted" instead Of II
think" ," 'it has been observed, J" instead Of
II have seen," "the present writer, /" instead
OF a." is much the more egotistieal.
Try to write an essay without using that
vowel which some men think the very shibo-
leth of egotism, and the remembrance Of
yourself will be in the background of your
mind all the time you are writing. II will
be always intruding and pushing in its face,
and you will be able to give only half Of
your mind to the subject. But frankly and
naturally use the l, and the remembrance
of yourself vanishes. You are graphing

and nothing else. You use the readiest aud
most unaffected mode of speech to set out
your thoughts. You have writtea a do

WORKING AND THINKING.-It is not less @
fatal error to despise labor, when regulated
by intellect, than to value it for It's own
sake. We are always, in these days, trying
to separate the two we want one man to
be always thinking, and another to be al
ways working, and we call one gentleman,
aud the other an operator +; whereas the
working man ought always to be thinking.
and the thinker often to be working and
both should be gentlemen in the best sense
AS it is, we make both ungentle, the one
enyying, the other despising his brother
and the mass of society is made up of
morbid thinkers and miserable workers.
Now it is only by labor that thought can
be made healthy, and it is only by thought
that labor can be made happy, and the two
cannot be separated with impuuity. All
professions should be liberal, aud there
should be less pride felt in popularity of
employment, and more in excellence of
achievement.

ONE OF FATHER QUINN's JoKEs.-Fath-
er Quinn, it is known TO some OF us, is a
wit as we'll as a priest. While in Wash
inqton with the First Regiment, he was
invited to visit Fort Corcoran, on the other
side of the Potomac and see the work that
had been done by that gallant Irish regi-
ment, the New York Sixty'ninth. He
accepted the invitation, aud was OF course
much pleased with the appearance OF the
fort, which had grown into being, through
the hard labor with pick and shovel Of
these true soldiers. "Why," said he to
the gentleman who accompanied him, they

The capital letter a." is plain up and
down sort of an affair, and to some people,
anything downright or upright, is always
diSagreeahle. Yet we think that the dis,
like with which this mode of expression is
regarded, is unjlst in great degree. For
instance the editorial "qoe," il, in this way,
just as strong all embodiment Of personality
as the first person singular, aud yet al
article may be studded with we's without
raising an objection. In fact, the cir
cumlocution adopted to avoid the /, is FIRE.
quently more egotistical than its direct use
We fud this idea admirably developed in an
article in late number Of the Atlantic.
The writer says:
There are various ways in which sell
consciousness diSagreeably eYinces its ex-
istence and there is not one, perhaps, more
diSagreeable than the effectCal avoidance
of what is greatly regarded as egotism.
The straightforward and natural writer who
frankly uses the first person sin Eular, and
saws II think thus and so, II have seen
so and So" is thinking of himself and his
own personality mighty deal less than
man who is always employing awkward and
roundabout forms Of expression to avoid the
use of the obnoxious I.
Every such periphrasis testfes unmistak-
ably that the man was thinking Of himself;
but the simple, natural writer, warm with
his subject, eager to press his views upon
his reader, uses the without thought OF
self, just because it is the shortest, most d.
rect, and most natural way of expressing
himself, The recollection OF his own per-
sonality probably never once crossed his
MUD during the composition OF the para
graph from which an ill-set critic might pick

finds the text and the hymns for them, then
fuses with the cricket, and then fans herself
