declares
ssThere is no pleasure that l have expert

nosegay, three little trout, and one shoe; the
other having been used for boat, till it had
gone down with all hands out of soundings.

the sensation is new to him."

GIVE HIM A TRADE.-If education is the
great bucklcr and shield of liberty, well
developed industry is equally the buckler and
shield of individual independence. As an un :
failing resource through life give your son,
equal with good education, good honest
trade Better any trade than none, though there
is ample room for adoption of every inclina-
tion in this respect. Learned profession and
speculative employments may fail man; but
an honest handicraft trade seldom or never
if its possessor chooses to exercise it. Let him
feel, too, that honest labor crafts are honora-
BILE and, noble. The mon of trades-the real
creator of whatever is most essential to the
necessities and welfare of mankind, above all
others, in whatever repute they have been held
by their most fastidious fellows. must work at
the ore of human progress all is lost. But
few brown handed trade workers think of this
or appre ciate the real power and position they
compass. Give your trade, no matter
what fortune he may have or seem likely to
inherit Give him trade / He can always battle
with temporal want with this, and can always
be Independent.

Man goes forth like the day, and straight
way arises the roar of busy toll, the sound of
human voices, and the rush and tumult ofactiVe

the dropping leaves and flowers, and in holy
stiffness the stars come out to watch the tired,
slumbering earth.-Chapman.

Raising the snnken Vessels EIamPtOh
~ fets.1 uli Reads. r.lia a.it .s t-n4
A letter from Portsmouth, Virginia,
says the Government has made extensive
preparations for raising many Of the yes
sells which were sunk in that vicinity at
the cohIencsmsntOft Of the war. We quote:
Last fall the Wreckers began operations
at the Navy Yard Of this place, where the
Jamestown, Delaware, Columbus, Penn
| sylVania, Germantown and United States
lay submerged The two latter have been
raised from their sunken positions, and
now lie high and dry upon the shore.
eeit Opposite Newport News the Cumber-
land and Congress lie IN about eleven
| fathoms Of water. The former with her
stsrboard side upward, and is greatly ex-
posed to the sbb and foR tides, This makes
il more than ordinarily difficult to oper-
ate upon her. The submarine divers 60
down every day, and thus far have placed
heavy chains through the port holes, pre-
paratory TO raising her. The lifting pow
er win be ready soon, and when this is
attached, the ships will come up. -a-la
7 'sThe divers give il as their opinion that

siderably worm eaten on the inside. They
think that the hull will be found in good
condition. ~ 7-i --7----- ----- n = 4 7-.7T
+ q Several guns and some iron have al.
ready been taken out Of the Congress. "A
number Of relics, such as sabres, pistols
and knives, have been brought up. a
number of skeletons are on board the yes
sells. Some are in an upright position,
whence it is presumed that they, when
alive, were endesvoring to make their es !.
cane when the ill-fated ship went down.
After the remains Of these nobls men
who lost their lives on board the Cumber-
land and Congres- while battling the
rebel MeFrimsc, are recovered, they will
be placed seperately in boxes and conveyed
to the Portsmouth Naval Hospital, and in
TERED With all due honors in the burying
ground connected with the Institution, if
not recognized by their surviving friends.
This is in accordance with letter from
the Secretary Of the Navy to Captain Hol-
brook, who is experimenting the raising
of the vessels for the Government.
g The Merrimac lies in the Elizabeth riv-
er, between Sewal's Point and Norfolk.
A little white flag flies over the spot where
she was SINK, 10 designate her. If she
we're raised she would be Of little value to
the Government as her bottom was blown
out. She is an obstruction to the river,
and will undoubtedly be removed, and this
viii be done by blasting her undep.the wa
Ter. Her timber win then come to the
surface and float away. The metal re-
naming can be easily gathered by the di-
vers and removed beforehand. ...
Besides the vessels enumerated, there
are many smaller crafts lying at the bot
tom Of The river and out on Hampton
Roads .l. sr-.as

The ConscrIption.

'sd A reCruiting officer, drumming up for
volunteers, took occasion in speech not
long since to say, that eOnscripts would be
.hoOted At BY the veteran volunteers in the
army, and would be set down IS devoid Of
patriotism and pluck The gentleman, in
his zeal to obtain volunteers, made grave
mistake in indnlging in such utterances.
Itis no diegraes to a man to be drafted,
Assrusisnd brave men may go into the
service under draft, as by volunteering.
The history Of wars shows that eonsoripts
. hsVe fought as bra7ely as other soldiers
No true soldier, though volunteer, will
treat drafted man, who goes at the bid
ding Of his Government to share common
dangers and hsrdships, otherwise than
with respect Let the drafted men, there
fore, go forth with the confident assur-
anos that they will be respected as they de-
serVeto be by their fellow-compatriots al
ready in the service, will be honOred BY
the Government, and will be cherished by
those whom they have gone forth 10 de-
fend NJ
The hardships which the draft imposes
mustbe met in the brsEest possible spirit
The Government needs the aid Of the peO-
pie, vigorously and promptly put forth, to
e1tinguish this gigantic rebellion, Let
patriotic men give ungrudging aid to save
the country from the blight of rebel despO-

themselves away in one Of the spare beds of

J. DARIEG BURGLARY on PRosPECT STREET.
This morning, between 3 and ! O'Clock,
the dry goods store of L. Coleman, No. 80
Prospect street, was entered by burglars,
who attempted to blow open the safe with
gunpowder Mr. Coleman, who occupies the
rear or the store Win MS family, heard the
noise, and on his approach the burglars eF-
capped through the front door. There is a
glass door bstVsen the store and the portion
of the Building occupied by the family. The
burglars had suspended some pieces Of goods
over thewindoH to prevent the light being
seen by which they were operating at the
safe. They blew the safe partially open,
but net enough to get at any of the contents.
Upon examination it was found that they
gained entrance through the basement. They
stole the contents of the money drawer,
about SIS in small bills, scrip, &c. On the
outside building, near the corner towards
Ontario street, brick had been Clipped out,
the burglars evidently having eOntemr iatsd
digging hole in the brick wall, through
which to enter the store. As the point chos7
en- is very much exposed to view, they dopbt-
