in appropriate efforts, are as unknown,
and practically as valueless, as the dia-
mond buried in the depth of earth's
most impenctrable core. There can be
no mental development and growth in
state OF passivity; no acquisitions of
knowledge, by any process of involun-
tary absorption. The intellectual weak
ness of childhood grows into the mental
activity and power of honorable man
mood, not as grows the plant of the
held, receiving passively the sun, rain
and dew, and rejecting such tints of
beauty as the beams of light may pencil
upon its opening leaves; the noble and
immortal powers, which in their nascent
state lie wrapped up III the depths OF
our being. are drawn forth and fitted for
a sphere of usefulness and dignity, only
by firm, resolute. persistent labor, wisely
adapted to this end. And here there is
no distinction among men. All stand
Oh ;aleVel. The infant of royalty may be
born heir to a throne, and the riches of
an empire; but his birth itself, secures
10 him 10 possessions of intellectual
wealth Or power. The infant of poverty,
in this respect, is born to an inheritance
equally rich and valuable. Upon both
by the finger of God, is written one and
the same law of growth and improve
ment, and no blood of kings, no fac
titious social distinctions, no possessions
or expenditures of gold, can secure ex-
emption from o1te of the requirements
Of this law. Even he who would
know what powers he possesses, must
labor for their development and culture;
and he who would act in an exalted
sphere of intelligence and dignity, must
by labor rise to that sphere. A position
there, no power of thrones can COM
mand, no riches purchase, no favoritism
procure. But one pathway leads up to its
seats of honor, its fountains Of joy; and
along that upward pathway every sue
eessful aspirant must go, and every stcpof
his progress up the steep ascent is a step
of patient labor.

@. C..CLAY.

After the surrender Of the rebel army,
Mr.. CLAY was making his escape from
the country, when he saw President
.Iohnson's proclamation, duplicating
him in the assassination of Mr.. LINCOLN
and offering a reward for his apprehen-
sion. Upon that he Immediately re-
turned and delivered himself up and
challenged a trial. This act, especially
at that time when the public mind, ex-
cited almost to madness by the fearful
tragedy of Mr.. Lincoln's DEATH
was calling or fsWift vengeance,
was one which showed the courage Of
conscious innocence. The refusal of trial
upon this charge by the Government.
even with all the ease of conviction furn-
ished by the military trial of the con
spirators, seems clear admission that
the charge was unfounded. AS the Gin
cinnati GazoHeremarks, "theGovernment
isin honor bound to give Mr.. CLAY q trial
or aequittal Oh that charge. 1t cannot
justify the protracted imprisonment on
that accusation, by the new charge of
melting the Canada raids, which iftrue,
is no cause for special penalties There
is much said and justly, because the
rights Of States are denied them without
authority or cause, but in the deep in
terest felt in this subject, the equally
important matter of personal liberty
should not be forgotten.

GHttiration >Je The .stsa,rbe,.ru.

Mr.. MINERALS the season for trans
planting all kinds of trees and plants
will soon come here, l propose to give
a few hints on the culture of the straw
berry. having made some observations
on the best mode of culture of this delic-
ious and profitable fruit. The ground
should be Thoroughly prepared as for 9TH
err crops; if not rich it should be made so
by manuring. The rows should be
marked four feet apart. and the plants
from II to l6 inches in the rows, and
these beds, or rows, can be kept clean,
and the fruit can be gathered without
setting the feet upon them.
The season for planting depends upon
circumstances. 1t may be done with
safety from the time the plants begin to
grow in the spring, until theyare in bios
som: and again in the fall, from the time
the young plants are sufficiently rooted,
until the freezing of the ground. 1t is
well however, to plant at time when
the plants will at once commence grow
ing. If planted in warm, dry weather,
1T is necessary to water the ground thor
oughly before planting, and then shade
the plants until they have begun to root.
The culture subsequent to planting con-
ssts in keeping the ground clear ofweeds
and grass, and should be frequently hoed
and kept clean and mellow, and the
plants should be mulched, which serves
to keep the fruit clean and the ground
from drying. In exposed situations, or
where the winters are severe, with lit
tie snow for protection, aslight covering
Of forest leaves, or litter of any kind,
will be of great service; this can be raked
off and the beds dressed at the opening
of the growing season. In short, too
much can scarcely be said in favor of
thoroughly enriching and preparing the
soil, which should be deep and rich; and
moisture at the leaving season is always
necessary. Plantations managed in this
way will give several crops, and should
then be spaded down, a new plantation
having previously been prepared to take
the place of the old one.

fnlortont fiction Of the Supreme
court.

The Supreme Court took up the case
Of Newell Us. Norton, a ease of admiral
ty, arising out of Il boat collision on the
Mississippi river in 1868. 1t will thus
be seen that the Court recognizes cases
docketed from the South i'll common
Wit. those of the North, making no dis
tinetion. The Wa shington hateiiige,acer
makes the following pertinent conn
ments upon this action
1.-The laws of the United States are in
unobstructed operation throughout all
the States, and therefore the practical
constitutional relations of the several
States, SO far us they concern the EXecu-
tive branch, are restored. To this may
now be added a second of the three CO.
ordinate branches. The other of the
great tripod of the nation is still out of
pra .tical relation-the Legislature
Here we may inquire what could better
demonstrate how fictitious are alleged
obstacles to restoration Of social and
political harmony when the magistracy
of the country is in unquestiOned and
prevalent supremacy-a fact from its
nature inconsistent with any form of
cognizable disloyalty.'

LABOR

Labor is the law of human develop
ment. BY nature, man is nobly en-
lowed. He has body of thousand
exqusitely fashioned organs, by which
he can possess, enjoy, and subdue the
visible world mind to investigate the
laws Of nature, and discern the proper
ties, uses and ends of all created things,
and a spirit that can rise to the knowl-
edge, worship and enjoyment of the
Creator of all. But, although man is
thus created, with high and noble capaci
ties, unless these are developed strength
ened and disciplined by appropriate
effort. they will remain as useless and
unknown as the shapeless marble rock
in its native quarry; and the one could
as we'll be changed into the breathing
statue without the chisel of the artist,
AS the other appear in the form of useful
and dignified manhood, without labor,
properly applied to develop and mold
them. The organs of our physical
nature, grow and strengthen only by
appropriate use. BY the eNertion of
of present strength we acquire greater
measures of strength for the future, and
are qualified for its higher exhibitions.
So of mans intellectual nature. Ac-
tivity is one of its essential attributes.
Its faculties and powers are known to
exist, only by their exercises, by the
efforts they put forth. The mind is not
like the soil we cultivate, eXhausting its
powers in production, and requiring re-
nose To recruit its wasted strength on
the contrary, ii gains new accession Of
strength from every new effort, and the
greater the acquisitions il makes, ii is
fitted to make still greater. 1t n not
like the turbid brook from the passing
shower. but like the perennial stream

A CHINESE TRICK.-A short time ago
a quantity of stolen rice was discovered
under a bridge near Hornitos, Cali
fornia. Calculating that the parties who
stole it would go after it at night, and
would be easily caught, some of the
sharp ones stationed themselves around
and watched for developments. After
they had taken their position. china
man came reconnoitering about, evil
IDENTIFY looking out for some outside sim
reference AS he went near the place
where the rice was deposited, the men
on duty rushed at him; IVt he proved
to he only !: decoy, ran like wild cat,
and all ran after him. He easily outran
the party, and, whilst they were after
him, his confederates went after and
safely carried Off the rice The adivid

they were out manHuVred.
