JUDGE NOT IN HASTE.

Meier be hasty in your Judgment
Never foremost to extend
Evil mention of neighbor,
Or of one you've called friend
OF two reasons for an action
Choose the better, not the worst;
Oft-with some-the meaner motive
Ever strike the fancy first!
Then be gentle with misfortune;-
Never foremost to extend
Evil mention of a neighbor,
Or of one you've called friend
Judge not with detracting spirit,
Speak not with disdainful tongue;
Nor, with hard and hasty feeling,
Do one human creature wrongl
Words there are that, sharp as winter,
Strip the little left to cheer =
Oh, be yours the kinder mission,
Prone to sooth, not cause tearl
Then be gentle with misfortune;
Never foremost to extend
Evil mention of a neighbor,
Or of one you've called friends

cry matter tried according to the strict forms
and rules of established law, with the right
Incident Of appeal to the Supreme Court of
the United States.
Gov. Perry alludes to the novel condition
of the negroes in Washington. In going to
the Capitol he was amused to see ragged, dir
ty, black, lazy negroes, sauntering over the
buildings, taking their seats in the galleries,
and diffusing through the heated atmosphere
of the House and Senate all the odors of Af-
rica's villainous compound" Having official
business with the Secretary of War, Gov.
Perry called on that officer, and it was salts
factorily arranged " IIe>found the Secretary
very kind and obliging particularly so. =
Since grim visaged war has smoothed his
wrinkled 'front.'" it is but meet, it seems to us,
that his ireful agents should conform their
te,npers to the more placid mood of that terri
BILE god. The Secretary and great Generals
of the United States appear to be adjusting
their features to correspond with the times,
and are beginning to speak smooth things, and
arc more civi than the civilians $50 called"
Stevens, Sumner, ct ut omsmc gcnus.
The speech of Reverdy johnson, Of Mary
land, delivered in the United States Senate on
Friday, the 9th inst, Gov. p. characterizes as
very admirable one. The espeakcr ''inguircd
if the North was afraid to meet the South in
tellcctually?" The question was we'll put;
they cannot be afraid Of the Senth numerical
ly. There are too many Radicals alas, capa-
bic of defying reason and knowledge, and they
need not fear intellect. Rcverdy johnson was
to present the credentials of Gov. Perry to the
United States on Tuesday last what action
may be taken, will soon be known
The most interesting information, iminedi-
ately to this State, is the statement made to
Gev Perry ny the President, that tho State
Works at Greenville, and the Gas Works in
Charleston, lately seized by the Treasury
Agents for the United States, would be given
up. This would be great relief and benefit
to the people Of South Carolina, and the Treas
ury of tho General Government would realize
comparatively an insignificant sum by carrying
out their proceedings against the property.
We have taken the liberty of giving the
substance Of the information contai1ed in the
letter Of Gov. p. to one of the Editors, adding
few observations and comments of our own
We know our readers will be gratiGcd at the
opportunity of hearing from the seat of Power
in this country through source so intelligent,
and every way reliable.

POETRY.
Home and Friends.

Oh there's power to make each hour
AS sweet as heaven dcsign'd it;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that find it,
We seek too high for things close by
And lose what nature found us;
And life hath here no charms so dear
AS home alf'l friends around u.s.
We oft destroy the present JOY
For future hopes-nnd praise them;
Whilst flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stoop to raisethem
For things afar Still sweetest nre &
When youths bright spell hMh bound us;
But soon we are taught the earth hath nought
Lke,homes and friends around us.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken.
DO show us still that come what WILL
we arc not quite forsaken.
Though all we're night if but the light
From friendships altar crown'd us,
'Twould prove the bliss Of earth was this
Our home and friends around us.

MEsNERIzrNa Notwithstanding the
recent trip down Casco Bay, we called on
our venerable friend. Mr.. Jonathan Chase,
proprietor Of JEWELS Island.
Some lively Holsters, just caught, were
placed in a boat hauled up on the beach
where we stood. Mr. Chase grasped one
by the back and stood it upon its head on
the thwarts Of the boat, pressing 1t down
firmly, and at the same time arranging It's
large pluggy claws SO as to steady IL in its
acrooatic position. II did not occur to US
at the time, as it now does, that the OBJ
iect Of pressing it down 50 firmly was to
cause the little point of shell that protects
the eyes to stick into the board and assist
in steadying the fish in its singular ati.
tude. For the same reason, perhaps, as
there was considerable wind, he bent down
the fan. like tail, and held it 80 for a min
ute or two with his left hand. In the
meantime, with the tips Of the fingers OF
his right hand, he gently rubbed the back
of the creatures shell. The effect was
magical, and the sight so ludicrous as to
make our whole party laugh till tears
came.
The long slender limbs had been strug-
Cling blindly in the air, each on his own
hook prospecting" for the means OF get
ting down GU. of its awkward and undig-
nifed position but as the old gentleman
rubbed, one by one they dropped in sleep
and hung listlessly down. Only one leg
a. a time succumbed to the subtle infiu-
ence. But when they all were down,
then most evidently the fish "slept all
over" To one who has not seen this
phenomenon it would be incredible that
shell6sh could strike such an expressive
attitude. 1t is a statue Of sleep. Every
line Of its motionless limbs seems to say,
II am enjoying q delicious nap; please,
don't disturb me
At this stage of the process the support
ing hand may be removed, and there stands
the lobster on its head, immovable, with
out any prop save such as its W mem
bers supply, and there it will stand for an
indefinite period, the most comical sight
conceivable. A row Of Holsters all asleep,
side by side, we should recommend as a
cure for hypochondria.- Portland (Me.)

. The VETJ.-We observe on the part Of
or contemporaries a disposition to read
President johnson Out Of tn, Republican
party, because of his vetoing the Freed.
mans Bureau Bill. We think that he had
q perfect right to veto the Bill, if he con.
sidered it unconstitutional, or prejndicial
to the pubic interests. Nor do we think
it good policy in the Republican press to
be clam ,rlng after the President, whose
patriotism is unqu,stioned, and whose
Fl lelity to the Constitution and the R.pub'
lican party is beyond doubt in our mind.
We are not in position to know in what
manner the veto can or could elfsct the
Presidents status in the Union party, and
are content to wait for future developra ,nt
before We danouncc him. While such men
as Seward. Harlan and Stanton occupy
place in his Cabinet, We are justified in
not joining in the violent and abusive de.
nunciations Of the President He still de-
clares himself Republican, his Cabinet
are all true and tried Republicans, all The
federal Office holders are Republicans, and
as long as the general policy of his Admin
istra,ion is Republican, we must counsel
our friends to keep cool, have moderation
and patience, and wait until he commits
some overt act against the party, by plac
ing Democrats in his Cabinet, and the re.
moval of his present office holders through.
out the country, by appointing Democrats
in their stead, aud then it will be time
enough for Republicans TO wage war
against him, and to read him out of the
Republican ranks. We predict that our
Republican President and Congress will
work tremendously together on all qnes
tons affecting the party or the country
