PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-In compliance with
a resolution Of the Senate President johnson
has sent message to that body on the situa-
tion of affairs at the South, which, while
admitting that serious difficulties remain to be
settled, nevertheless takes a cheerful view of
affairs. The President thinks that, when the
question of representation shall be properly
adjusted, the result will be the harmonious
restoration of the States to the National Union
Accompanying the message are reports from
Lieutenant General Grant and Carl Schurz
who have both just returned from tours of
observation al the South. General Grant will
not consent to the withdrawal of the military
forces from the South at present, but thinks
the citizens of the Southern States are anxious
to get back to their old position in the Union
as soon as possible. Considerable discussion
ensued in the Senate upon the message, Sumner
charging that it was like the whitewashlng
message Of Pierce on Kansas but the willy
radical disclaimed any intention to detract
from the patriotic motives of the President.

The Working Man.

He is the noblest man OF whom our
free country can boast; whether at the
workshop or at the plow, you find him
the same noble hearted, free, and indie
pendent being. Aad if there is a man
in society upon whom we look with es-
teen and admiration, it is the independ-
ent, sober working-man. We care not
whether he be a farmer, mechanic, or
common laborer-whether his tolls are
endorsed in the workshop, the field or
the coal mine-whether his home is III
the backwoods or the neat cottage-our
admiration is the same. What happy
picture he presents; what reward for
his labor, who by his own Unaided exer-
tions, establishes for himself respecta-
Bile position in society who commencing
in poverty, by his skill and assiduity, sur
mounts every obstacle, oycrcomes every
prejudice, and finally succeeds in forming
a character whose value is enhanced by
those who come after him. Such man
we prize as the noblest work OF which
nature is capable-the highest production
she can boast. And let it be borne In
mind by the youg working man just en-
terihg upon the stage of life-let it ever
lie at the foundation and be the moving
spring Of all his etforts-that for this sit
uation he must strain every nervs to at
tain. 1t can be attained by all Untir-
ing industry and virtuous ambition never
fail to find their reward. They uever yet
were exerted in vain, and never will be
while honesty and justice fnd home in
the human breast. =

Mason and CLARK occupied the same Of

he intended to have the money ready for

would seethe treasurer at once, and If
she would call the next Thursday she
would have it," Thursday came, and

day came, and it was the same scene,
with an invitation to come again on
Wednesday, and there should be no fur
ther need of coming. The lady assented
but took occasion to say, in very decided
tones, that she had already called three
times, and should come but once more
1t was just enough to show that there was
fire in her, and to give Mason warning.
Mason-who loved a quiet life-saw this

money ready, for her decided manner

the closet door. TO it she went and op-
ened wide-when there, raised some three
feet by the wood upon which he stood,
aul bracing with hishands upon the wall
above the door, he stood staring her full
in the face, looking as if p!or'ged for
sheep stealing. The scene that followed
may be imagined. Mason listened in 81
iencc, and when tho lady had finished her
remarks, meekly said that he would bring
her the money. After she went out he
sat for a long time, his head bowed up
on his hands, as if in the deepest tho.
Finally, he rose, drew a long breath, and
slowly shaking his head, solemniy said,
"Clark, think I'll have to kill you; it
will never do to have this get out and l
see no way but to kill you" CLARK made
him an offer Mason was every day to
bring him large, nice apple and he would
say nothing about it, Mason assented,
