Rich Without Money.
Many man is rich without money
Thousands Of men without anything ir
the pocket, and thousands without ever
pocket, are rich. A man born with q
good constitution, good stomach, 8
good heart, and good limbs. and pretty
good heart-piece, is rich. Good bones
are better than gold-tough muscles
than silver, and nerves that fash fire and
carry energy to every junction are bet
ter than houses and lands.
1t is better than landed estate to
have the right kind of father and
mother Good breeds and bad breeds
exist among men as really as among
herds and horses. Education may do
much to check evil tendencies, or to de
velop good ones; but it is a great thing
to inherit the right proportion Of facul-
ties to start with.
That man is rich who has good dis
position-who is naturally kind, patient,
cheerful, hopeful, and who has a flavor
of wit and fun in his composition. The
hardest thing to get along with in this
life is mans OWN self a cross, sell
fish fellow-a desponding and complain
ing fellow-a timid, care burdened man
these are all deformed on the inside -
Their feet may not limp, but their
thoughts do.

Guizot, in his ''Memories of His Own
Time" thus describes Washinton
1.-TWO features predominant in the
character of Washington; profound
attachment to the cause he had adopted,
and firm independence of judgment
and conduct in the service of his coun-
try. He was a genuine Anglo-Ameri-
can planter, strongly imbued with Eng
glish tradition and American manners,
sympathizing perfectly with the senti-
ment and desire Of his fellow country
men, but whose mind, imperturbably
sound, rejecting all public passion, pre-
judices, and caprices, Judging them with
equal freedom and calmness whenever
they presented them before him; never
quarreling with them abruptly, but ever
resolved to resist when they compromise
the policy which, in his strong convic-
ton, the public interest called on him
to maintain. While possessing the in
stinct and natural gift of authority, he
was eminently prudent and scrupulous
in the exercise Of government; full of
respect for men in general, and for the
common rights of all, but without any
democratic bias, and dignifed in man
ner, on all occasions, almost to severity.
An admirable compound of lofty intelH-
gence and temporal judgment, as Of
pride without ambition, which com
manded, at the same time, respect and
confidence, and raised him to the undis-
puted leadership of a people who saw in
him their most disinterested, their safest,
ablest and worthiest servant"

Anecdote of Washington.


During the American Revolution, il
is said, the commander of little squad
was giving orders to those under him,
relative to log of timber which they
were endoavoring to raise up to the top
of some military works they were re-
pairing. The timber went up with diff
ficulty, and on this account the voice
of the little man was often heard, in
regular vociferations of-"Heaye away!
there she goes! heave ho!' An officer,
not in military custume, was passing,
and asked the commander why he did
not take hold and render little aid
The latter, astonished, turning round
with all the pomp of an Emperor, said,
"Sir, am corporall' ''You are, are
you?" replied the officer, II was not
aware of that" and taking of his hat
and bowing,' the officer said, II ask your
pardon, Mr.. Corporal" and then dis
mounted, and lifting till the sweat stood
in drops ON his forehead. When the
work was finished, turning to the couI-
r1ander, he said, ''Mr. Corporal, whea
you have another such job, and have
not men enough, send for your COM
mander in chief, and | will come aud
help you a second time The corpo-
raj was thunder-struck! 1t was Wash
n ton who thus addressed him.

senate Committees.

Fer many years majority Of most of the
committees in the Senate, and the chair Of
every important committee have been filled
by Locofocos, and, to make it still more def
mite, BY Locofoco Shareholders. But now,
at last, since Locofocoism has persisted OF its
own corruption and treason, change, long
desired by the people OF the North and West,
has taken place. A majority OF all the COM
nittees are now, as they should be, from the
North, which has four more States than the
South and more than twice the number OF
inhabitants. The chairs OF oil the commit
tees are filed, too, by sound Republicans,
although only six years ago a Republican
was looked upon with so much contempt in
that body that the little band were scarcely
assigned places even at the tail end Of the
committees.
From the following list Of chairmen OF the
committees it will be seen that the business
of the Senate is committed to able banda,
and generally to such as are peculiarly quail
fled for the post assigned them. Take the
more important committees, comprising the
irst eight ia the list, and it will be readily

Another ssIrrcpFessibIe COnfI1Ct.S
There seems likely to break forth afresh
another irrepressible conflict between the
people and the shareholders, in regard to q
peculiar aspect Of the question confined to
the State Of Virginia. Under the present
Constitution the Shareholders succeeded, not
without q struggle, however, in securing en-
enlargement in raising the great staple Of
the Old Dominion, niger babies, by ex-
empting them from taxation till they at
tanned the marketable age Of IL years.
Western Virginia not depending for it's
prosperity on negro raising for Southern
market, is not only devoted to the Union but
is very much dissatisfied with the special
privilege or exemption from taxation en-.
joyed by the owners Of that species Of live
stock in the Eastern and nirstocratic portion
of the State. Under these circumstances q
member of the Virginia Convention from
one OF the counties on the Ohio river intro
duced the following resolutions:
Resolved. That it is expedient and proper
that the 231 section Of the 4th article VI the
Constitution Of the State shall be 80 modl
fed that slaves, like other property, shall be
taxed, without exemption, and according TO
value, and that no exemption of any proper.
tv from taxation shall be had without the
vote of majority Of all the members elect
ed to each House Of the General Assembly.
Resolved, That Committee, TO consist
Of thirteen members, TO be elected from The
different sections Of the State, be appointed
| who shall report TO this Convention such
amendments TO the Constitution of the State
as will effect the objec, indicated in the fore
going resolution.
