An ENGLIsHMAN on THE WAR.-John Patterson,
crpool Corn Exchange, spoke before the Union
League Of Philadelphia, on the evening of April
28lh, and in his remarks said
D." The English people looked upon South Caro-
lima and her secession declaration, and they saw
that she was bent on straight road and intend
ed to found her prosperity upon an institution
called in England an accursed institution. En-
Gland long ago left on record her evidence on
the subject Of negro slavery. By her abolition
of it in her provinces, an expenditure which cost
her G20.000,00 sterling, she declared her alb
horrcnce and disapproval Of it, To the abolition
doctrines Of Henry Brougham the people of Eu-
gland were pledged thirty years ago, and they
have proved true to them ever since Such SEN
lmeuts as those TO which she was then commit
ted have brought out II response such as has
never been given to any question in her dOmln-
ions for centuries. In the British Kingdom the
political questions of this country are not mis-
understood. BY public men the questions of
American policy are thoroughly understood and
unprecedented. The reason why some of the
leaders of the English nation are opposed TO this
country is not because they are not aware Of the
right course, but because they hate liberty. But
even among the English alistocracy there are
some who are deeply interested in the cause Of
arstocracy large number who are desirous of
seeing two republics in this country, it is not the
opinion of majority of that class.
Another class of society in England is the
bankers, aud they have given more sympathy to
the South than to the North. They are mostly
allied to Southern families, and the course Of the
American people has tended to increase their
animosity to the North. The manufacturers in
cotton are also inclined to favor the South, be-
cause their mills are inactive. But the lower
classes, the masses who have been reduced to
poverty aud starvation by the stoppage of the
manufactures, have ever been true to their po-
litical faith, aud would starve rather than see
slavery established. But the power in England
which controls public opinion is the middle
class, and that class is true to America. Meet
ings have been held by hundreds among the
middle classes, and resolutions have been adop
ted expressive of their attachment to the prnci-
pie Of human liberty, and their confidence IN tne
The press OF England too, was true to the
principles Of freedom and loyalty-the real in
nuential press of Great Britain. The Leeds
.uiryor is the first journal in England for power
| and influence the Birmingham Daily Post is the
second, and the Liverpool Daily Post is the third.
Those, and all the independent papers in En-
gland, warmly espoused the cause Of the North,
aud the day was not far distant when England
and the North, Europe and America, would join
hands over the grave of that stain upon clvilza-
tion-AfriCan slavery"

The Old Kitchen Cradle.
BY A. MCBEERY.
AM The old 0aken Bnelet.n

AIR" The Otd 0aken Bucket"
Our old kitchen cradle, so loved and bewching,
To mo was the source Of much rapture and glee,
1t long held a place in my fathers old kitchen,
Where of in nv childhood sported so free.
/ often jumped in it, which gave me mucn Pleasure
And turned topsy-turvy, all up in heap,
And there with delight would romp at my leisure,
In that lovely cradle that rocked me TO sleep.
The old kitchen cradle,
The pine painted cradle,
The lullaby cradle that rocked me to sleep
That old. fashioned cradle-my father he made it
10 please his dear children, my brothers and
NV 1nOther-God bless her-with curtains array 1t,
And rocked US to sleep with a sweet lullaby
How oft I've received that dear mothers blessing,
With love and affection so ardent and Deep
While clasped in her arms with tho fOndest caressing
Or in the old cradle that rocked me TO sleep
The old kitchen cradle,
The pine painted cradle,
The lullaby cradle that rock d me TO sleep
Quite oft in my dreams unto me she's appearing,
Wherever wander, wherever roam,
! think Of that mother 50 kind and endearing,
And sigh for the scenes Of my dear native nome
Tho burthend with troubles, surrounded WIN cares
Expressions Of love from her bosom would leap
Each night she would kiss and teach me my prayers
While in the OH cradle that rock me TO sleep
Tne old kitchen cradle,
The pine painted cradle,
The lullaby cradle that rock d me to sleep
But the crown Of salvation to her has been given;
That mothers departed and gone to her rest,
Whore now she is happy with angels IN heaven,
Rejoicing in glory and perfectly best
For her my affections ] never could smother;
Her sudden d.uar,ure compelled me to weep;
Ine'er can forget the sweet smiles of that mother,
Nor that it'll, cradle that rock'd me to sleep.
Tie ola kitchen cradle,
The pine painted cradle,
The lullaby cradle that roclsd me to sleep.

THE SCAMP.-Some unmitgated brute says that
the present seasons Spring bonnet may be SEN
timentally characterized as poems in white chip,
split straw, and Grape, on the natural history Of
oyster shells. Twenty dollars will buy one that
is warranted to satisfy the wearer for whole
day, and then serve for use on rainy Sundays.
Twenty five dollars will purchase a concave scale
of white Grape attached to a bird Of paradise
feather and trimmings, and protected from grease
on the hair by an undercoating of tulle cap, at
once strengthened and aggravated by moss roses
aud desperately green leaves" A bonnet like
this ought to keep fresh at least two days under
an umbrella, moss roses being quite hardy in this

SPANISH Moss.-Leavng Sparrow's plantation,
we swung out into the stream, and then for
several miles streamed along the borders Of the
lake, Lake Providence, La.,l here lriuged with
cypress trees clothed with weird and dismal
Spanish moss. The effect Of this dropping para
SITE pendent in long waving folds from the trunk
and branches, is depressing in the last degree
1t is suggestive Of death and weeping willows
1t is the embodiment, Of Vegetable woe No
party, however joyous, can approach it, and a
mysterious influence not appear to emanate from
its gbastly folds, which throws a damp upon their
spirits and compels their silence until the un
slightly Object is passed. Those who have seen
no moses more pretentous than the green fungi
growing Oh trees and rocks in Northern expos
ures, can form no adequate idea of the wonderful
exuberant growth of the Tissandria. Consump-
tion is not more fatal to the life of man than
this parasite to the life OF trees. Once let it fix
its iron grasp upon its stem and branches and
the proud monarch Of the forest becomes dead
and worthless trunk. The gray hair like fiber
hangs in folds three feet long from every twig,
the stOuter end uppermost, resembling for all the
world, an aggregation Of disheyeled locks. The
wind sigbs and moans through the pendants with
that peculiar mournful sound one hears from

LETTER FROM JOHN G. WHITrIER-At Union
meeting of citizens of all parties in Amesbury,
Massachusetts, letter was read from the poet
Whittier, from which we extract the following
passage:
regard il as of the utmost Importance that,
in this hour Of trial, men Of all parties should
remember only that they are American citizens.
The life Of the country is at stake, and however
we may continue to call ourselves there are
really but two partes-the party of loyal men
aud the party Of traitors. For myself, can say
IN all sincerity, that am more than ready to lay
aside whatever of merely party feeling and pre-
udice may have entertained and act cordially
with any and all loyal men, who are willing ia
act with me. At time like this, We owe indi.
ydual allegiance TO our country. We were
American citizens before we were Republicans oil
Democrats-and it matters little who is in or out
Of Office.

NEWSPAPER subscriptions are nlallible tests of
mans honesty. If man is dishonest he will
cheat the printer some way-say that he has paid
when he has motor sent money and il was lost
by mail-or will take the paper and will not pay
for it on the plea that he did not subscribe for it;
or will move off, leaving it to come to the office
be left. Thousands of professed christians are
dishonest, and the printers book will tell fear
fully on the final settlement of the Judgment
day. How many who read this paragraph will
be guiltless of the offence we charge.
