THE FARMER FEEDETH ALL.

My lord rides through his palace gate,
My lady sweeps along in state,s
The sage thinks along on many sthing,
And the maiden muses. on marrying;
The minstrel harpeth merrily,
The sailor ploughs the foaming sea,
The huntsnsn kills the good red deer;
And the soldier wars withouten fear,
But fall to each, aohate'er befa1,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Smith hammereth cherry red the sword,
Priest preacheth pure the Holy Word, F
Dame Alice worketh broidcry well,
Clerk Richard tales Of love can tell,
The tap-wife sells her foaming beer,
Dan Fisher fishsxh in the mere,
And courtiers ruffle, strut and shine,
While pages bring the Gascon wine;
But fall 10 each, achQteer tefdU,
The ffarnaes- he must feed them all.
Man builds his castles fair and high,
Wherever river runneth by,
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand,
Great arches, monuments, and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers;
Great work is done, bet here or there,
And well man worketh everywhere;
But pork or rest-.ohGte'er tefdU,
The farmer he must feed them all.

Remarkable Statement Of Z. s. Senator
Thayor.

In speech at Cincinnati on the 18th
inst, U. S. Senator Thayer, of Nebras-
ka, made the following important state
ment:
l have recently been iu Maryland and
the District of Columbia, having left
Washington only night before last
While there [ took special pains to in
form myself in regard to the present pur-
poses of johnson, and obtained what [
am about to state from reliable authority.
1 declare, upon nly responsibility as u
Senator Of the United Suites, that today
4adteeo Johnson neditates and designs
torcible resistance to the authority OF Con-
cress [ make this statement deliberate
", having derived it from unquestioned
and unquestionable authority [ cannot
point out the occasion On which he means
to use military force. 1t may be to pre-
vent the assembling Of Congress, or when
assembled, if the House of Representa-
tives possess particles Of impeachment,
or it may be for the purpose of forcing
Southern Senators and Representatives
to seats IN Congress. The question may
be asked How can be do such thing?
You recollect that SIX months ago Gov
Swami, of Maryland was elected United
States Senator, and that a few weeks af-
terward he declined, giving grave reasons
of state as the cause. 1t was because Lit
Gov. Cox, OF that State, could not be
trusted for Johnsons purposes. There is
to-day standing army in Maryland, an
organized militia force, such as no other
state in the Union has, differed mainly
by returned rebels. When the time comes
which he looks for under some pretences
johnson may declare Maryland and the
District of Columbia under martial law,
and call upon Gov Swami to bring forth
his militia. There is nothing that will
deter johnson from this purpose, except
the issue comes, that his courage may
fail [ make this statement that the
American people may know their danger
that threatens their peace and safety. Ii
Pennsylvania and New I DIRK give Demo
cratic majorities in the coming elections,
it will enbolden him to carry out hispur-
pose. and hope you, thepeople of Ohio,
will be warned in time, and so cast your
votes as to rebuke and prevent the mad
designs of this bad man, who is now
acting President of the United States.
4 Washington dispatch of the 22d says
that gentleman who, that day. had a
long conversation with the President as
serts that che will inaugurate no new
measures at present, but if Pennsylvania
New Jersey, and New York go Demo
cratic, he will regard this as indorsing
his policy and viii then take decided
measures against Congressional recon
struction." OF course the result in other
states will equally tend to encourage or to
check him in his revolutionary course,
accordingly as they show a diminished
Republican vote, or a strong unwavering
front in opposition to his policy.

Strange Adventure on the Part OF a
Young Lady.

From the Detroit Advertiser Sept. :.
A few days since a woman went to
East Saginaw, in this state, aud issued
handbills announcing that Nile. Eleanora
Shoudan would walk rope stretched
across Genesee street, at SIX . clock D.
IN. Tuesday. \ great crowd assembled,
bat for some reason she failed to walk,
postponing it until the next day. At
the appointed hour about 1000 people
assembled to witness the performance.
The lady appeared in role dc ballet, bat
seemed very tilnid, and af.c. awhile; see
ing her aw kwardness, the authorities in
terposed and stopped the performance.
On thursday an old gentleman came to
lows n ] state o. 6 eat exc temen5 inquir
ing tog missing laughter who answered
the description of the rope walker, .and
stated she had left home suddenly Il lew
days previous. and that her people feared
foul play. The father who is well known
to parties in this city, is wealthy bust
ness man residing IN Flint. The young
lady is twenty-foir years old, is hand
some, and engaged to be married to a
wealthy eastern man soon, and moves iii
the best circles Of society. She had ney-
er walked a rope before, and what Undue
ed her to undertake snuh rash adven-
ture is beyond conception.
She was induced to 90 home By party
who was acquainted with her father and
family, and started about an hour before
her father ca ne.

A FAITHFUL DoG-A surgeon at Net
ley England recently took long walk
in the neighborhood of Southampton.
accompanied by his dog, a fne Newfound-
land. In the evening he MISSED. some
letters. from his coat pocket and his dog.
The latter did not surprise hlm, as his
dogoften wa 1dered from him in his walks.
The next day, annoyed and puzzled at
the loss of his letters, he thought it pos
sible he might have drawn them out of
his pocket with his handkerchief during
his previous days walk He resolved,
therefore, to repeat the walk. for he might
have dropped the letters in an unfrequent-
ed path. About four miles from the hos
pital he came suddenly upon his dog "
ing on the ground, with the letters close
by. The dog had laid by the side of the
letters for sixteen hours. 1t has been
re-christened Postmaster-Ge General.

4 FRENCH TRIBUTE 1t has already
been stated that the poem which receiv-
ed the prize of the French Academy for
the current year, was eulogy upon Abb
raham Lincoln, by Edouard Grenier.
The concluding lines of this remarkable
production are as follows:
Thus didst thou die But by what irony
Did fate preserve thee from that agony
OF Caesar, soothing AZ people free:
Upon what sacred rights laidst thou thy hand'
When soughtest thou ever avenge blow.
Or when dilst thou TO glut thine own desire,
Behind the shelterng mask of of state,
Seek to Cypress the feeble of the landi
Though dark the future for liberty
Thou kept the laws, and mad'st thy country free.

New METRoPoLITAN.-There was
a very large audience at the theatre
on Saturday night-the gallery being
crowded and the ground auditorium
being at least two-thirds fuIl-em-
braeing many of the most intelligent
and refined ladies and gentlemen of
the city. The playing was very cred
liable, some of the characters being
very finely rendered.
The troupe left on the News Boy,
yesterday morning, for Henderson,
where they open tonight for short
season. This is decidedly the most
talented troupe that ever appeared on
these boards. A little more dill
gence in studying the texts and the
sense of their author, would improve
them. We commend them to the
good people of Henderson,.
