LABOR is HONORABLE,
By MRS. JULIA A.B, DAVIS.


Chiid oi toll, why hang thy head,
Ashamed TO labor for tn bread,
lou brings honor-heed this truth
JOY comes not to the idle youth:
Bcs1 hands. and busy Brains
DO SOW and reap the golden graInsI
Envy not the child ofease,
Seeking his darling self to please;
MS dark hours must come at Ia,t,
And bring regrets for moments past
When his course oflite Is run,
He dies-and has no honors won.
Merchants in the busy mart,
Scholar proud, with beating heart;
Statesman In the senate-h hall,
Gathered there at freedom's call
Know, the world your deeds will Lless:
fe have your spheres Of usefulness.
Housewife; weary with thy cares.
Mark the fond smile thy husband wears.
When, his daily toll now Ger,
He seeks his wen known cottage
Read the story Il viii tell
For labor thou art honored we'll.
Maiden, at thy Lusy loom.
Toiling hard, in noisy room,
Think, when weary grows thy hand,
Thy labors each will bless the land,
Clothe the monarch and the slave.
From products brought DER land aud waysl
Seamstress, bending DER toll,
Earning bread by midnight oil;
Poorly clad ahd poorly fed,
Pressing thy weary. aching he'd
Know, the world thy efforts need,
And thy toll its wants doth feed
Child oflabor, raise thy head,
Blush not to earn thy daily bread;
In the spring-time ofthy youth
Seek labor's walks or halls cftruth;
Sloth will lead to vice and crime
Labor and toll to deeds sublimei

FROM ISLAND NO. 10.

CHICAGO, March PA special dispatch,
dated at nine O'Clock Sunday night, off Island
No 10, says that firing continued slowly day
and night, at intervals of half an hour. Our
fire is mostly concentrated upon the upper
battery, which is now fairly to pieces. This
battery has not replied for two days. Only
one gun can be seen in position, and that is
probably quaker. The batteries on the
main shore are also mysteriously silent, and
the rebel encampments grow smaller day by
day Transports still continue flying about,
apparently carrying away troops. The river
is still rising, and everything is overlooked.
The rebels were drowned out of some of their
batteries, and have been attempting to erect
new ones, but the well directed tlre of our
mortarS prevents them.

Wendell Phillips Mobbed.

CINCINNATI, March Wendell Phillips
attempted to lecture at the opera house to-
night. He commenced by avowing himself
an sbolitionist and disunionist. Persons in
the gallery then Kissed, yelled, and threw eggs
and stones at him, some hitting him. The
kissing was kept up some time. Finally be
made himself heard, and proceeded till some
thing again Objectionable was said, and again
eggs were thrown, hitting him. He perse-
vered and third time was heard, and third
time stoned and egged. The crowd now
moved down stairs, crying "Put him oui!"
'Tar and feather him !" and giving groans
for ''the niger Wendell Phillips" They
proceeded down the middle aisle toward the
stage, and were met by Mr.. Phillips aud his
friends. Here a fight ensued amid the great
est confusion, ladies screaming AMI crying,
Jumping on chairs, and falling in all directions.
During the fight Mr.. Phillips was taken of
the stage by his friends. The audience then
moved out.
1t is now ten o'clock, and the streets in the
vicinity of the opera house are crowded with
excited people. They are unable to find Mr.
Phillips. No one was seriously hurt, as we
can learn.

In the house of lords on the 18th, Lord
Campbell called attention to the inefficiency
of the blockade of the confederate ports, and
moved for the correspondence on the subject.
Earl Russell replied to the proofs adduced
by Lord Campbell of its inefficency, and re-
counted the efforts made by the north to rem
der it effective. He considered the want of
cotton in the English markets the best test
that the blockade was not an empty one. He
said a renewal OF the old feeling between north
and south was impossible. He hoped the
north would consent 10 peaceful separation
of the states. Both are rich and extensive
enough to be mighty powers. He trusted
that within three months or sooner, the war
would cease, leaving emancipation possible
to be effected by gradual and peaceful means
He said no formal communication had been
made by the French to the English govern
ment on the inefiicency of the blockade.
The motion was Withdrawn.
American securities were firm.
Garibaldi presided over large meeting of
