Trades and Callings.

Of all the trades that men may call
Unpleasant and offensive, R .g..-'
The EDITORS is worst of all,
For he is ever ren-sive fga
His leaders lead to nothing high,
His columns are unstable,

He augurs every h"ur of gain,
He chissels and none ieer him !;
He shaves. yet is not close. they say,
The public pay his board, sir
Full of wise saws. he horcs away,
And SO he swclls his board, sir.
st. Crispin's son---the man of shoes,
Has awl things at control, sir;
He wakes wealthy i'm his views.
But ne er neglects his sole, sir;
His is indeed hceling trade,
And when we come to casting
The toe-tal profits he has made,
We find his ends are lasting.
The tailor, too, gives fits to all,
Yet never gets II basting
His Cabtages, however small,
. Are most delicious tasting;
His goose is heated-happy prig!
Unstinted is his measure .'.-
He always plays II thimble-rig,
And seams II man OF pleasure.
The farmer reaps q fortune plump,
Though narrowed, far from woe, sir
His spade forever proves a trump,
His book is Ire ai hoe, sir
However corned, he does not slip.
Though husky, never hoarse, sir;

than five cents per pound. If invoic-

peratvely demands the former. Our people have
always been imposed upon by Northern fruit

The special correspondent of the Balti-
unure Sun, Of yesterday, gives the follow
ing:
The movement to reduce the Southern
States to territorial condition has begun,
both in the Senate and House Mr. Broe-
mall to-day introduced a resolution instruct
ing the judiciary committee of the House
to enquire into the expediency Of reporting
bill'to organize territorial governments
in the districts represented by the late
-so-called Confederate States"
The Senate will undoubtedly check any
hasty legislation by the House. To-day
by tie vote they refused to take up Mr..
Elliot's bill for the repeal of the amnesty
act, principally because their committees
are not yet ready They held a caucus on
this subject this afternoon, but did
mot conclude their action. As the Senate
will have large business to do in reject
ang nominations, they will take care to so
revise the committees as to putsuch conserv-
atives as Doolittle Dixon and Cowan In
"a permanent minority.
Mr.. Darling, Of New York, made a
practical move in the House to-day for
experimental negro suffrage in the Dis
trict of Columbia. His bill for the election
of delegate in Congress for the District
provides that all male persons twenty-one
years of age, citizens Of the United States
and resident one year in the District, shall
vote at the election.
The rumor that Hon. Reyerdy johnson
is to succeed Mr.. Seward in the Cabinet
on the 9th Of March, is revived tonight.
The foundation for this runlor is as uncer-
tain now as heretofore.
The stand taken by Senator Fcssenden
and others against haSty legislation, would
seem TO give reasons 70 hope that the
Senate will eyentuaIly heroine Conserva-
Give, and tone down Eenae measures

DfsraiBurIoNs.-W would call attention to the
opinion Of one G. the leading papers Of Canada on
this subject:
Most OF our readers have doubt read some Of
the numerous advertisement Of Git Enterprises
Gift Concerts &C., which appea~ from time to time
the public prints offering most tempting bargains
to those who will patronize them. In most cases
these are genuine hunsbues. But there few
respectable firms who do business in this manner,
and they do it means ofincreasiBg their whole
sale business, and not TO make money. From such
firms it is true handsome and valuable articles are
procured for very small sum, what is more i'm
po@tant, no one ever cheated. Every person gets
good value for bis dollar because, as have
stated 1T is intended to act as an advertisement
increase their ordinary business.
We have seen numbers Of prizes sent out in this
way by Sherman Watson & Company, Of Nassau
Steet n. Y :, and there is doubt that some OF
the articles worth eight ten times the money
paid for them, while we have not heard Of sim
gle article which was not fully worth the dollar
that il cost But this is only Of the exceptions
to tins rule. for general thing the parties en-
gagged in this business are nothing but clever
