BY THE BARD oP TOWER HALL.
How happy is the farmers lot,
Who in his small paternll cot
Contentedy abides.
Financial schemes perpls him not,
Nor eau the politicians plot
Bring trouble to that Tranquil spot
Where honest toll resides.
The echoes of the war trump there
Cannot disturb the p aeeful air.
And litgation's bantful strife
Disquiets MT his happy life
And If q fond and faithful wife
Indulgent fate has giveni
If children, too, his homestead bless,
Though in trackless wilderness.
That cottage home is nothing less
Than n terrestrial heaven.
And if, his comforts to complete,
Tint happy man has fixed his seat
Not at distance quite too far
From BENEFITS Tower HALL BAZAAR,
Or il conveyance mOy be found
10 that Emporium world-renowned,
Oh let him heed my earnest call
And visit that capacious Hall,
Where he and all others, of whatever oecupa-
ton or position in life, may select, from the lar
gest and most complete assortment of Ready
made Clothing in Philadelphia, garments suited
to their different wants made in the best and
most fashionable manner, at prices much below
present market rates. TOWER HALL,

If You MEAN No, SAY No-When a
man has made up his mind to do or not to
do thing, he would have the pluck to
say so, plainly and decisvely. 1t is
mistaken kindness - if meant as kindness
to meet request you have determined
not to grant, with" I'll see about it,o
or III think the matter oyer,n or, 81
cannot give you positive answer now
call in few days and I'll let you know"
1t may be said, perhaps, that the object
of these ambiguous expressions is to g let
the applicant down easy !" but their ten
dency is to give him useless trouble and
anxiety, and possibly to prevent his seek
ing what he requires in a more propitious
quarter, until after the golden opportuni-
ty has pas sed Moreover, it is questiona-
BILE whether the motives for such equivo-
cation are as phildnthropic as some people
suppose. Generally speaking, the indi-
yidual who thus avoids direct refusal,
does so to avert himself pain Men with
out decision of character have an inde-
scribable aversion to say "No." They
can think " No"-sometimes when it
would be more creditable to their cOur-
tesy and beneyolence to say eyes, but
they dislike to utter the bold word that
represents their Il oughts. They prefer to
mislead and deceive. 1t is true that these
bland and considerate people are often
spoken of as every gentlemanly." But is
it gentlemanly to keep man in suspense
for days, and perhaps weeks, merely be-
cause you don't wish to put him out by q
straight forward declaration ? He only is
gentleman who treats his fellow men in
manly, straight forward way, Never
seem, by ambiguous words, to sanction
hopes you Go not intend to crafty. Ii
you mean "No,' out with it

BRAVE WORDS IN THE RlGHT TINE. James
+. Murdoch, who has done so much good in
the canse of his country, few evenings
ago made n speech in Cincinnati, in the
course of which he made use Of the follow
ing noble sentiments:
The question is now the safety of the
Governments the perpetuity Of the Union.
War, war, is the cry. There can be no
peace while single State is in rebellion
Applause. The blood of our brave sol,
dicrs would cry from their graves for ven
geancc. should we accept shattered, u trag-
mentary Government. The curse, the with
ering curse of the widow and orphan would
follow us through all time, should we TEN
porize with traitors who have slain their
husbands and fathers, while defending their
Government and their sacred flag. LGreat
applause. The traitor to his country is
cursed of God and man: and the man who
raises his voice to defend HIM, and denoun-
ces the Government because of is efforts to
defend itself from such accused assaiants,
would have been worthy follower and de-
fender of Judas lscariot. The man who
cries peace under such considerations, and
amid the circumstances that surround us, is
a bastard and poltroonl LTreme ndous
applause. Such man is unfit for the en-
joyment of free institutions, and unworthy
the sacred Name of an American citizen,
and the time has come TO know friends from
foes. Applause.
