Manhood and Womanhood.

Who are you, young man, young
woman, living in this age and country,
and yet doing nothing to benefit othersi
Who are yOu-blest with powers OF
body and intellect, and yet an idler in
the busy workshop of lie? Who are
you with an immortal soul, and yet that
soul deaf to the myriad voices all about
you that call to duty aud to labor
Arise. and be a faithful toiler. God
calls you; Humanity calls youi and they
both have right to all your powers.
Arise Make your whole life one scene
of industry. Arise, and go forth, and
every moment your feet shall press or
your hands touch some pedal or key in
the ''organs that shake the universe. "
Arise. there is work for you to do,
You were created to toll and bear q
hand where the hammers of Time are
ringing as they fashion the fabric Of
eternity.

THE FURRow.
BY HENRY WHITAKER.

The coulter through the greenswGrd glldes,
The furrow leaves the shinlAg share,
Md in its mOthei's Bosom hides
Its crown VI enierald hair.
With secret JOY watch the mold,
IN color miDgling black and gold,
From the green meadows lep unrolled
And crnnbliug to the air.
That shifting thread Of common earth
One instant cod, aiiother SOIL
How many germs Of life have birth
In its untwisting coil!
The secrets nature holds most dear
For mems support, lie hidden here,
And Silent waitf from year to year
The magic touch Of toll.
And 20 follow round and round,
The greensward shrinking as 20,
TIL al. Is changed 70 mellow ground,
When the brightest seed Isow.

Nourish the yct9g grain while sleep,
That |, who plant IN faith, may reap
In gadness ere the snow.

Impressions.

The coming and going Of the thoughts
Of the mind, the mysterious manner in
which they sometimes break in upon US,
fill us with inquiring wonder But
when we ascend to the spiritual, how
greatly is that wonder increased: Often
deep spiritual impressions come most
Unexpectedly. 1t is night; the tolls Of
the day are over, and the man has re-
tired to rest. All is dark, lonely, and
silent around him; the doors are fasten-
ed, and, with conscious security, he
sinks into repose. But, see. a vision
approaches; it halts right before his
eyes; it illumines midnight with its
brightness; it breaks the silence with
its voice, and delivers a message from
the Everlasting. What a symbol is
this of spiritual thought. 1t often
comes into the chamber of a mans soul
at night on his bed, breaks his slulnbers,
and shakes his spirit to its center
Nothing can exclude it-no walls, gates,
bolts, nor locks can shut out a thought.
He who made the mind knows its every
avenue, and can reach it whenever and
however he pleases."

changed to the Of Green and Columbia Streets
just large and quite enthusiastic as while in
the lower part of tho city. We have never seen such
large or more respectable audience than was pre-
sent yesterday afternoon and evening at any similar
place of amusement in Baltimore. Thousands wera
turned away at night unable to procure even stand
ing room. This is the last day but one. The per-
ormance tomorrow night will be the last most posi-
lively. and those who desire to this novel and ex-
ceent performance, must lose no time. The matt
uees given at o'clock, offer many advantages for
ladies and children they are not so crowded as the
performances at night The final procession will take
place tomorrow.
A pleasing incident occurred yesterday during the
procession in the Western part of the city, As the
cavalcade reached the Washington Monument, at
Mount Vernon Square, circle was formed round the
monument, the band performed patriotic airs, and
the entire company saluted the statue of the Father
Of his Country as they resumed the limo fmarch.

Protest Against santa Anna

The Mexican Club of New York city, which en-
braces large number of the most respectable and
patriotic Mexicans residing there, have issued pa
per in regard to Gen. Santa Anna, in which they
vigorously protest against any recognition of him
the possessor of influence responsibility
ing the affairs of the Mexican republic. They de-
nounce him as being the "most obnoxious man to
Mexico, the source of her evils and calamites the
promoter of disorder and anarchy, the violator of
law the destroyer of freedom the oppressor
the people and the corruptor of society; consd erng
that to all these titles which rendered him odious
and created the most popular revolutions against his
tyranny ever recorded in the annals of Mexico he
adds that of traitor to his country for in 1854 while
holding the dictatorship which he usurped he COM
mited his greatest offence in the betrayal of his
country, by overpowerng Don Jose Gutierrez Es-
trada to ask in his behalf from the European nations
the establishment of monarchy in Mexico; consider
ing that as soon as this crime accomplished by
the aid of French Intervention Don Antonio Lopez
de Santa Anna rejoicing over the foul deed he had
originated made haste to tender his fealty to the
Archdqke MaximiIian of Austria, recognizing him
as the Emperor of Mexico" &c

The Great Money Panic in EngIand-A
''BIack Day ON 'Change.

From the London Times (city article) May III
The Bank of England this morning raised their
rate of discount from eight cent to nine per cent
and their charge for special advances per cent
The pressure at these terms has been enormous
and it only unexceptionable bills that accom-
modation could be obtained.
Meanwhile, additional and most serious disasters
have been hourly announced. The first was that of
comparatively small bank. the English Joint Stock,
for eight hundred thousand pounds.
Then came that of Messrs. Peto & Belts or four
million pounds.
Then that of Mr. W. R. Shrimpton, the railway con-
tractor, for two hundred thousand pounds; and
finally. it was understood that the Imperial Mercan-
hundred thousand pounds, and the Consolidated Dis
count Company. with paid up capital of two hun
dred and fifty thousand pounds, must. with extreme
ly heavy commitments, pass into liquidation.
The drafts of the Consolidated Discount Company
were this afternoon returned unpaid. This concern
established in January, 1864, to take over the
discount business Of MesSrs. Sandeman & Co. The
nominal capital is 81 100000, in shares of $50 with
f2 los paid, and the present price is nine to
discount.
The directors Of Qverend, Gurney d Co.. limited
have to-day in the interests of all parties presented
petition to the Master of the Rolls for winding
up order, and Mr.. Turquand (of Coleman, Turquand
i Coz and Mr.. Harding (of Harding, Whitney j.
Coz have been appointed provisional liquidators.
The joint stock banks to-day have raised their rate
of allowance for deposits from five per cent to six
per cent

covery: The quotations upon Holland and Hamburg
were higher
Rumors were circulated in the course of the day

HOares, Hanburys & Co.'S, but they were entirely
