A MOTTO FOR THE DAY.

And now, Sir, coming from a slave State,
as do, owe il to myself, owe it to truth
owe it to the subject, to state that no
earthly power could induce me to vote for a
specific measure for the introduction ofslave-
~ where it had not before existed, either
south or north of that line. Coming as
do from slave State. it is my solemn, de-
liberate, and well-matured determination
that no power-no earthly power-shall
compel me to vote for the positive introduce
ton of slavery either south or north of that
line. Sir, while you reproach, and Justly, too,
our British ancestors for the introduction OF
this institution upon the continent of Amer
lea, am, for one, unwilling that the pos
terity of the present inhabitants of Caiifor-
MIA and New Mexico shall reproach US fol-
doing just what we reproach Great Britain
for doing to US. If the citizens of those
Territories choose to establish slavery, am
for admitting them with such provisions in
their Constitutions; but then, it will be theil
own work, and not ours, and their posterity
will have to reproacb them, and not US, fol
forming Constitutions allowing the institu-
ton of slavery to exist among them

WHEN I MEAN TO MARRY.
nY JOHN @. SAKE.


When do mean to marry ?-Well-
IT'S idle to dispute With fate;
But if you choose to hear me tell,
Pray listen while ] fix the date -
When daughters haste. with eager feet,
A mothers daily toll to share:
Can make the puddings which they eat,
And mend the stockings which they wear;
When ma;dens look upon man
AS in himself what they would marry,
And not as army soldiers scan
suttler or commissary;
When gentle ladies who have got
The offer of lovers hand,
Consent to share his "earthly lot"
And do not mean his lot of land;
When young m chanics are allowed
To find and wed the farmers girls,
Who don't expect to be endowed
With rubies, diamonds and pearls;
When wives, in short, shall freely give
Their hearts and hands to aid their spousesl
And live as they were wont to live
Within their sires' One-story HOUSES:
Then, madam If I'm not too Old
Rejoiced to quit this lonely life.
I'll brush my beaver, cease to seo!d,
And look about me for wife

COMFORT FOR Cows-Cows should be
housed and well fed. The stables should be
just moderately warm, well ventilated.
clean. and provided with suitable bedding.
Aside from the mere matter of food and
drink, the animals should be kept comfort
able. This matter can hardly be overesti-
mated. Then, as to fodder: part of this, OF
course, should be straw, and hay, and corn
stalks; but to expect cows TO give much
milk on such lean fare. is folly. Favor them
with messes of chopped roots, of cut straw.
or stalks mixed with meal of some kind. A
favorite .'mess" for cattle with friend OF
ours is this: Cut mp hay. or straw. or
stalks, in pieces not more than an inch or
inch and half long, put the proyender in
a tub or tight box, and pour boiling water
upon it then sprinkle on a little salt, and
cover the whole with little bran or meal.
to keep the steam in. When cold, feed it
in messes of bushel at time. Good as
this is, 1T should be varied from time to
time, for COWS ike variety, as well as men.
Cows should be salted two or three times q
week. In mild weather they should range
by day in a commodious yard. protected on
two sides, at least. by covered sheds. And
this yard should have pen-stock of run
ming water. or a trough kept full from q
good pump; the 6rst is the best

ARREST FOR TRRAsoN.-The Charleston
Mercury of the 10th ult. has the following
paragraph
arrest for Treason.-J. N. Merriman,
Collector of the port of Georgetown, S. c.,
was on Monday last arrested by the people
of Georgetown, on a charge of treason
against the State. A letter was found,
written by him and addressed to Mr.. Blu
chanan. stating tina; he (Merryman) had
Just cleared vesScls in the name Of the United
States, and that he qOoald continue to do so.
The letter calls upon the President 10 send
boat and men to collect tbs Federal rev.
enue, and informs him of the progress oil
the construction of the works near George
town. and promises to keep him posled from
time to time in relation TO the same. The
letter is signed TO his initials, j. n. ID
When arrested, he acknowledged having
written it. Lopse, his deputy, was alsc
arrested. He said he had been in the habit
of writing out Merriman's letters, but haC
not done So in this case. as he considered
it treason. Both hove been committed toI
treason"
1t is relief to know that there was on
loyal man in South Carolina. And it is alst
relief to believe that arrests for treason
will not all be made by traitors.
South Carolina needs the mails (the ex
pense of carrying them being paid by othe
States J, and therefore graciously allows thu
postmaster to do his duty as an officer o
the Federal Government but when tb'
United States Collector attempts to do hi
duty, lie is arrested for treason

PIcK1SG uP PIS.-A young man once
went to the city of Paris to seek situa-
ton. He had letters of Recommendation TO-
a large banking establishment, He csiied'
on the gentleman who was at the head of il,
fun of hope and confidence that he should
find employment The gentleman heard
what he had to say, looked over his letters
hastily, and then handed them back TO him

SIR The young man felt his heart sink
within him, He was ready TO burst intO
tears But there was no help for it, so he
made his bow and retired. As be was pass

lying on the pavement. He stopped, stoop-
ed down, picked it up. and theR stuck It
carefully away under the bosom OF his coat
The gentleman with whom he had Just been
speaking was standing at the window and
saw what took place. In an instant the
thought occurred TO him that the Young

ANOTHER JAcKsoE.-A correspondent Of
the New York Tribune, writing from Bal
timore, under date of Jan. 18th, relates the
following Jacksonian utterances of Gov.
Hicks. of Maryland
Gov. Hicks Lolds out manfully against
the pressure of the secessionists. In con-
versation with Mr.. Chief Justice Legrand.
of our Court of Appeals, day or two ago.
the Governor is represented as having ad-
dressed the Judge very animatedly. some
what as follows: MIR. Legrand l would
have you know that when say No, mean
No, and not Test And now let me tell
YOU, sir, if every man, woman end child In the
State were to ask me to call the Legislature
together, l should not do il, unless advised
thereto by my conscience and my judg-
mentl '' This emphatic disposition of the
question speedily terminated the Judges
argument in favor of inauguraling rebellion
by call of the Legislature, the very hrst
act of which body would be to impeach and
depose the Governor. -
They til another equally emphatic story
about the Governor, greatly to his credit.
1t IL this: When Judge Handy came on
here last month, as the messenger of treason
and rebellion on the part of Mississippi, he
sought to Influence the Governor By the
lavish use Of Mississippi cotton eloquence.
but finding his efforts in vain. he jumped
up from his chair. and stalking across the
room, exclaimed. with all the theatrical force
of Mr.. Forrest himself: '' Finally. Gov.
Hicks, let me tell yon that Cotton is King?'
Up Jumps the Governor from bis chair, ex-
cited by this announcement, and lifting up
his arms high in air. exclaimed. at the top
of his voice: Mr. Handy--nOt Commits
sioner of Mississippi. but Mr. Handy--les
me tell you. sir. that will see King Cotton
in h-ll, sir, before he shall reign over mel"
And nine-tenhs Of the good people of Ma
ryland have since responded. Amen !! TO
their glorious old Goyeraor's alternative.

A FRENcHMAN's VIEW OF THE RESULTS
OF SECEssIoN-An old French officer writes
to the Courier des EtatS Unis, that in the
event of dissolution of the Union, France
would retake Louisiana, according to an
cient treaties: Spain would reclaim Florida:
England would appropriate Oregon and sew
eraI other States; Mexico, under English
protection, would retake the Territory oil
New Mexico, Texas, and California, and
England might, perhaps. keep California as
an indemnity for the subsidies furnished IL
the Mexican Government in this war against
the former United States.
1t is Louis Napoleon who would begin
by very simple and logical process OF
reasoning; for every one knows that Napo-
leon III. aims at consolidating all that Ma
poleon |. had in view with regard to foreign
policy.
the United States Tor the eum of five mil
lions of dollars, which the Government o
the United States engaged to pay to the
American merchants whose goods and ships
had been seized during the wars of the
French Republic. from 1862 to 1901. BuI
as the United States have not paid the afore
said FIVE millions, and as, for more than
forty years we have seen brought before
Congress. session after session, French
spoliation bill, which has never been passed
therefore, as soon as the Union shall b;
dissolved, those who claim this sum vii
address themselves to Louis Napolean. ant
he will pay their demands and retake Lou
isiana England, who suspects some sucf
thing, has already ordered several ships o
war to the Gulf of Mexico.

INFLUENCE OF EXTREME COLD UPON
Sandstone experiments have been made
this year by Professor Ellie Wartmann, OF
Geneva, Switzerland. on the influence oil
extreme cold upon the seeds of plants
Nine varieties of seeds. some of them tropi-
cal. were selected. They were placed in
hermeticalIy sealed tubes. and submitted to
a cold rs severe as science can produce.
Some remained fifteen days in mixture Of
snow and salt: some were plunged into q
bath of liquid sulphurid acid, rendered ex-
tremely cold by artificial means. On the
9Th of April they were all sown in pots.
and placed in the open air. They all ger
minated. and those which had undergone
the rigors of frigidity. produced plants as
robust as those which had not submitted to
this test.

Dear to me the South's fair land.
Dear the central mountain band,
Dear New Englands rocky strand,
Dear the prairied West.

By our laws deep-rooted tree,

By our hopes-bright, buOyant, young,
By the tie of country strong.
We will still be one.

Mol receive our solemn VOW,

Ever to maintain as now,

How They RAISE THE WIND.-Among
the items from Charleston floating around
loose IN secession circles here, is story
that the Hon. VIM. Aiken has been made to
" disgorge,'' much against his will, as fol-
fews3, He vas potifed that he was expected
to advance the sum of forty thousand dol
lars to that end. He plead his right to ad-
vance or not. as be might please; adding
that he did not have the money. He then
was promptly notified that he had been as
sessed that amount, and must promptly pay
thunder the penalty of having it raised by the
immediate con6scation and sale of his prop
erty in Charleston, worth many times as
much. To save that from utter destruction,
he did raise the amount demanded, and in
paying it he remarked that it would be better
if he was a journeyman carpenter at the
North, showing jack plane at Sc per day,
than the South Carolina millionaire he was
before it was essayed to reduce the South
under a military despotism. He is now
lone of the suspected his course in refus
ing to seem to be pleased with paying the
forced loan, having earned him the reputa-
ton OF being disatfected to the cause
