President Lincoln's Message.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. Ga COPY of the
New York Herald, Of Dec 4th, has been re-
G.. ivecI at the Rchmoud Dispntc4 ,.tIice. Liz
coln's Message will appear n the latter pa
per tomorrow morning.
The Message opens with recognition OF
the exciting political difficulties Of the country,
but expresses gratitude to God for The boun-
titul harvest, and general health with which
tue people have been blessed.
In reference to the action Of the seeded
States Lincoln anticipates the possibility OF
au appeal ON their part for foreign aid or for
eign interpositiou; and, though admitting the
nonn;erierence Of European Powers, bith-
ertu, says that it i, deemed expedient to sug'
gest the arming and iortifyins u the North
ern pnrts anl Lake coasts, TO br prepared for
any future contingency that may arise.
The suggestion is also made ior co-opera-
ton, on the part Of the United States, with
Kentucky aud portions of tennessee, and
North Carolina, against the Secesslonists; aud
tue building OF railway is recommended "
aid such purpose
The recognition of L.yli and Liberia, is
arpro"ed ;.
troops offered for the war is beyond the re-
quircmeuls uf Congress.
rhs restoration ol the old Virginia bound
xrics is recommended.
The attention Of Congress is particularly
directed TO such legislation as will authorize
the freeing Of slaves coming within the scope
of military action On tue part of the United
States, and the acquisition Of territory tot
their colonization when SO freed.
The President states that he has preferred
to blockade the Southern ports, rather than
to close them by proclamation against the
commerce OF the worl.i.
The Message closes with disqu:sition on
certain principles announced by Committee
of the Virginia Legislature on suffrage and
modifica.inns of popular Government, ano
some remarks upon the relative Importance
OF capital snd labor; and then commend'
the National cause to the firm and earnes
reliance upon Providence Tor success.

Golden Rules for the Guidance OF
tbp Green.

If you have rich aunt who is fond OF
tracts and tea. there is no necessity for
you talking to her about billiards and
brandy and water.
Should you be talking to thin, ell
derby, unmarried lady, of another thin.
elderly unmarried lady, you need't des-
cribe the party alluded to as 'scraggy
old maid
If you require person to become Sc
curity for you, don't ask the man who
promised he would do anything for you
when he knew that you didn't want any
thing done.
If you happeh to know an author, don't
o*n it; one-half of the world wont be-
lieve you, and the other half won't thin k
much of it it they do.
Don't say you never take supp0rs, ex-
cepting where you know they never give
any.
If you don't know what everybody else
knows, you had better hold your tongue;
and you know something that every
body else knows, you had better hold
your tongue, too
If you intend to do good thing, don't
change your mind and if you possess a
five dollar bill, don't change that.
These, and few other golden rules,
which we don't exactly remember, should
be learned by heart, as they will prevent
you appearing green, and othsr people
looking blue.

Counsel to People that are Going
TO iIOYc.

AS moving time is fast approacbing,a
contemporary gives the following excel
lent advice, which, as the almanac ma
kcrs say, will suit one latitude as we'll as
another.
In the first place don't move!
Remember the famous Gtory Of the
fish that moved out of the frying-pan
into the fre--cal to mind all the allie
gories, ancient and modern, respecting
the folly of cEargc--see if the leaky roof
can't be meE 3cd-considor whether the
range bakes SO very badly--roconcile
yourself to narrow kitchens and defec-
tive water-pipes-bc at peace with all
the world, and your house into the bar
gain, and don't move!
But if this advice comes after the bill
has been put rp, and the house let, and
another one tal.en, the next best thing
is to arrange matters as philosophically
az possible, and the following scraps of
counsel may be advautageously adhered
to.
Don't keep your house in confusion a
month before the eventual Higera "a
week is quite long enough to maze cha
os Of.
Don't undertake to clear up things
generally 1t is not economy to bargain
away your husbands best coat to rag
man, installing it for his old moth-eate
toga- neither is it wisdom TO burn all
the receipts and family papers, along
with old letters and newspapers. just to
get them out of the way
Don't think it necessary to feed your
household on cold beans and luke-war
tea, or to quarter them ON foos beds
with carpet bags for their pillows, be-
cause you happen to be getting ready to
| move.
If your husband is handy man,
send him about his business as early in
the morning as possible, on moving day.
Handy men are nuisances at any peri
cd, but at such II time they are an agra
walton beyond che power of words to de-
scribe.
Keep your wits about you, and when
your courage begins to fail, just bolster
it up with the comfortable conviction
that what woman can't do, is not worth
doing at all!
Don't pack 3 canary-bird and cat TO-
gether. aud object decisively to the dres-
sing glasses being steadicd with coal
scuttles or smoothing irons.
Convince the cart-man at once that
you are the director of affairs, not no, and
don't let him impose upon you in the
matter of short loads. What if you are
