Ss(etted Poetry.
A Fine Old Poem.

IL have learncd,' says the melancholy Postal
zzi. that in this wide world no one heart is abb
r willing to help another"
O say not we through life must struggle.
Must tOll and mourn alone
That no one human heart can answer
The beatlngs OF our own.
The stars look down from the quiet heaven
Into the quiet stream
And see themselves from its dewy depths
In fresher beauty CLEAN.
The sky with its pale or glowing hues.
Ever painteth the wave below:
And the sea sends up its mist 20 form
Bright clouds and the heavenly bow
Thus each does of the other borrow
A beauty not its own;
And tells us that no thing in Nature
Is for itself alone.
Alone, amid life's gricfs and perils.
The stoutcSt sou. may quail
Left TO its own unaided efforts,
The strongest arm may fail;
And tho all strength still comes from HEAVIER
All light from God above,
Yet we NAV sometimes be His angels,
The apostles of His love.
Then let us learn to help each other,
Hoping unto the end
Who sees in every man a brother,
Shall find i'll each friend

Is LABOR DEGRADING Among certain
people the idea seems to prevail that labor is
degrading that is, such labor as a farmer is
obliged to perform. Digging the potatoes he
eats, would, in the estimation of some, de-
grade man more than the forging of note.
have at present in my mind one case of a
young man of good ability and who was also
once of moral excellence, who left Dartmouth
with this idea, expressed in his own words
4 cannot beg, and to dig am ashamed
Not long after he left, his funds were gone.
and to replenish his purse he resorted to for
gerry, and the result was, that his home for
two or three years was in the Massachusetts,
State Prison. Nor is this solitary case, but
one of many. The question that has often
presented itself to my mind is this: Would
not the public good be much better promoted
by dispelling the idea that labor degrades,
than by adding agricultural departments to
the colleges now in existence, or the found
ing of new colleges

Plain Speaking.

Abraham Lincoln has already rendered an
important service to the country by his inva-
rlable use of plain and simple language. 1t
is fact that while most of our purely literary
men, from Irving to Holmes, have cultivated
an unaffected dction, our public men are a
bominably stilted and dtfuse in their orator
cal efforts. Mr. Seward and one or two 9th
ers are exceptions, it is true; but if it were
not tor the vitality of their thoughts. they
would be drowned in the general sea of ords
which RACES through our politics. Every
speech becomes an essay, ard executive dec
ument> are truly of Learned length and ,hun-
derirg sound" 1t is time for a reform, and
We do believe that Abraham Lincoln is the
man to inaugurate it. In all his speeches
thus far he has not only been brief and to
the point, but has used only plain words
such as the people everywhere understand
to express his meaning. The American ca
gle has been left undisturbed in his own
haunts, and the stars and stripes have net
been aired by MIR Lincoln, except when they
were raised to the breeze by his own strong
arm at Philadelphia
1t may be said that Mr. Lincoln's want of
classical training is the cause of this verbal
temperance. That has nothing to do with it.
Some of our finest scholars are the plairest
IN their style of speaking; while men, accord
ing to the foolish phrase. whose education
has been neglected. are proverbiallv incl, ed
to ambitions and ornate language Mr. Lin
coin might easily have provided himself for
his tour with quotations from Burke Shaks-
peare and the new Cyc.opedia-- some men
would have done it; bnt he preferred to say
what .le had to say in words that he had 90,
used to. 1t is for Mayor Wood to talk of a
city as "the child of the American Union
grown up under its maternal care, and foster.
ed by its paternal bounty but Mr. Lincoln
prefers to get at things more directly. He
told the Germans at Cincinnati that the Oh.
portunlty OF "betterinS ones condition in
life was the great thing t. be secured bv
all institutions. At Pittsburg, he reduced
the advantage of fostering homemade pro-
ducts in preference to foreign, to the saving
of the carriage. At Trenton, while hoping
and expecting nothing but peace, he said il
might be necessary to "put the foot down
firmly. The Democratic Legislature under.
stood him; and, seeing the sterling qualities
of the man through the simplicity of his ex.
pressions, applauded him as if they loved
him. We hope that these omens do not de-
ceive us. and that we have once more at the
helm of the Republic a man of the heroic
cast-of few words-of no ambition to shine
but of sound heart, clear head, and indomita-
ble will.

The Duty OF Illinois in the Matter

Especial Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune.1
ST. Louis, December 1st, 1861.
Your State is receiving q large accession to
its population at the expense Of Missouri,
Hundreds Of men, women, and children, arc
crossing the 1iycr from West to East, and thus
the natural course Of emigration is reversed.
This is the result Of the iendish efforts Of
Jackson, Price, and others to dcludc the igno-
rant into the belief that they are doing well to
drive away oil who IRE not scccssionists. Tie
lcadcrs-as you can judge By the infamous
proclamation lately issued by Pricc-havc lost
the last spark Of the humanity, reason, and
justice that may have animated them in times
past, and their deluded tools have learned to
pll}agc, to burn, and to exterminate with a
malignity that correspond with the badness
and hopclessncss Of their cause.
1t is by hundreds see their victims sadly
Flooding along towards the Mississippi, and
casting longing g1anccs towards their 'sprom-
ised lanl.' These much 8ronged people arc
loyal citizens, and. consequently, Industrious,

material Of our State, and Will be so Of yours.
They arc not paupers but alas, how Ike.
have spoken with them. They are natives
Of Kentucky, Of Tennessee, Of Illinois, OF
Virginia, and other States. These refugees
desire resting place for the women and child
rcn, the old and infrm, in your State, which,
although not blessed, nor cursed with slavery,
is q haven Of security for au who sojourn there.
I take the liberty Of suggesting that some
thing be done for these homeless people, and
that is the object Of this communication. They
arc destitute, but have strong arms and willing
hearts, wagons, household utensils, bedding
and What scanty supply Of half starved draft
oxen the heart1ess enemy chose to leave them.
Win your worthy Governor, or some other
prominent citizen Of Illinois, send an agent to
this city, or Illinoistosn, who shall be in
structed to take these refugees by the hand,
and provide them with such information as
will lead to their being speedily settled in !,

done the better it will be for the country.
