Of Ohio has been N session longer and
has cost the tax payers of the State, for
the payment of its ordinary expenses,
more money than any legislature for ten
years, and yet there is nothing extraor-

State, or special call for legislation
demanding this long session and Outra-

It has been so long, however, since they

GENIUS. Hamilton said to an init
mate friend: ."Men give me some credit for genius
All the genius have lies just in this: When I
have subject in hard study, day and night it is
before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My
mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort
which make, the people are pleased to call the
fruit of genius It is the fruit Of labor and
thought"
Mr. Webster once replied to a gentleman who
pressed him to speak on subject Of great impor-
tance: =
'The subject interests me deeply, but I have no
time. There, sir," pointing to a huge pile Of let
tsrs on the table, lis pile Of unanswered letters
to which must reply before the close Of the ses-
zion then three days off. have no time to mas
ter the subject so as to do it justice. )"
ssBnt, Mr.. Webster, few words from you
would do much to awaken public attention to it. l"
"If there is so much weight IN my words as you
represent it is because do not allow myself to
speak on any subject until my mind is imbued
With it." ... ...-.... ..........
Demosthenes was once urged to speak on sud-
den and great emergency. "Iam not prepared" I"
said he, and obstinately refused.
The law Of labor is equally binding on genius and
mediocrity.

The CorroN WoRM-I,RoRTANT TO PLANT
ERs, IF TRUE-Another remedy for the cotton
worm has been placed atour disposal by a friend
who has the interests Of his country paper as well
as his country at heart It is simple, easy, per-
fecty practicable and said to be unfaiing, and is
certainly worth trial. He says plant the Castor
Bean al round every ten acres Of cotton through
out the field and not worm will touch it; or a
still better plan would be to plantitevery few rows
throughout the field. If the beans could not be
gathered for market, there would result no loss to
the planter, from the fact that the plant is one Of
the best fertilizers known, and the field would be
improved instead of injured for subsequent crop.
The depredations of the army worm cut off our
crop last year and thus impoverished the country
thousands Of dollars The indications this season
are most favorable for this CROP and it is but right
that our planters should make every effort to guard
against failure. 1t is well known that no insect
depredates upon the Castor Bean and it is proba-
bic that it would be protection to the plants

our cares easier than We can reason them away.
The birds are the earliest to sing in the morning
the birds are more without care than anything else
I know Of Sing in the evening Singing is the
last thing that robins do. When they have done
their daily work-wheu they have flown their last
fight, and picked up their last morsel Of food and
wiped their bills on napkin Of bough, then on a
top twig they sing one song Of praise. I know
they sleep sweeter for it They dream music; for
sometimes in the night they break forth in singing,
and stop suddenly after the first note, startled
by their own voice. Oh that we might sing even
ing and morning, and let song touch song all the
way through. ....... .-. AZ,
As I was returning from the country the other
evening, between six and seven o'clock, bearing q
basket of flowers, I met . man that was apparent
.ly the tender of mason. He looked brick and
mortar all overl He had worked the entire day,
and had the appearance of man that would not
be afraid Of work. He was walking on with a
light step, and singing to himself as he passed
down the street, though he had been working the
whole day, and nearly the whole week. We're it
not that my good thoughts always come too late, !
should have given him large allotment of my
flowers Ifhe had not been out Of my sight when
the idea occurred to me, I should have hailed him
and said, Have you worked all day?" "0f course
I have" he would have said. "Are you sing.

what blessing she has in you
Oh! that we could nut songs under our burdens
Oh! that We could extract the sense of sorrow by

much. Sing in the house. Teach your children
to sing. When troubles come, go at them with
songs. When ,griefs arise, sing them down. Lif

YANKEE DooD1E-The origin of Yankee

YANKEE DooDLE-The origin Of Yankee
Doodle is BY no means so clear, as American anti
uuaries desire The abatement that the air was
composed by Dr.. Shackburg, in ITS, when the
colonial troops united with the British regulars
near Albany, preparatory to the attack on the
French post at Niagara, and that it was composed
in derision of the old fashioned equipments Of the
provincial soldiers, is somewhat apocryphal Eng
lsh writer's assert that the air and words are old
|as Cromvell's time. The eRy alteration j. in max
ing Yankee Doodle of what WAS Nankee Doodle,
and that the latter was intended to apply to Crom-
well and the balance Of the quatrsin, was design
ed to sallude to his going into Oxford, with sin-
gle plume fastened in knot, called maearoni. :"
The tune was known in New England before the
revelation as Lydia Fishers Jig; name derived
from q famous femme de pave in the reign Of
Charles II. It is most likely, however, that it
was originally derived from Holland. A song with
tie following words has long been in use among
the hborers, who, in harvest time, migrate from
Germany to the low countries, where they receive
as much buttermilk as they can drink, and q

FEMALE FRIENDsHP. Women are the priest
esssS of predes6nation and It is wonderful ad-
vantage to man in any pursuit Or avocation to
secure an adviser in sensible woman. D'1sraeli
says,-a The society Of charming women re6nes
the taste, quickens the perception, and gives
grace and aexibiity to the intellect, although
wor,sn who likes ambitious men must be no ordi-
naiy character" In women there is ut once q
subtle delicaey Of tact, apiain soundness Of judg-
msnt which are rarely combined To an equal degree
in man. A woman, if she be really friend, will
have sensitive regard for her admirer character,
honor and repute. Better and safer, Of course,
ase such friendships wksre aisparities Of arcum-
sanots put the idss Of love cut Of the question:
Middle life life Has rarely this advantage; youth and
old age have We may have female friendships
with those much older and those much younger
than Ourselves. Moiere's old housekeep9 was
grest help to his genius, and Montague's philoso7
ply takes both gentler and loftier character of
wisdom from the date In which he finds in Marie
De Courtney an adopted daughter, certainly be-
loved BY me, says the Horace Of essayists with
more than parental love, and involved IN my soil
Jude of retirement as one of the best parts Of my
being" Female friendship, indeed, is to man the
bulxsrk. sweetener, ornament Of bis existence.
To his mental culture it is Invaluable; without it
al his knowledge of books vii never give him
knowledge Of the world.

RUSKIN ON JUDAS.

John Ruskin, in the Groom of Wld Olives
characterises in his trenehant STYLE those whe like
to make money as imitators of Judas: .. -.
1--WE do great injustice to Iscariot in thinking
him wicked above all common wicksdnesa al
was only common money lover, and, like al
money-lovers, did not understand Christ; oouldn'
make out the worth Of Him or the meaning O
Him. He didn't want Him to be killed. He wa
horror struck when be found that Christ would b,
killed; threw his money away instautlyand hanget
himself How many of our present money-seek
ers, think you, would have the grace to hang them
selves, whoever they killed? But Judas was .
common, selfish, muddle-headed, pilfering fellow
his hand always in the bag of the poor not caring
for them. He didn't understand Christ, yet he
believed in Him much more than most. Of us do
had seen Him do miracles, thought he was quite
strong enough to shift for Himself, and he, Judas
might as well make his own little by-perquiates
out of the affair. Christ would come ont Of il
well enough, and be have thirty pieces Now:
that is the money y-seeker idea oil over the world
He doesn't hate Christ but can't understand Him
he doesn't care for Him-sees no good In that be
.,evolent business, but makes his own little job d
it, at all events, come what will And thus out o.
every mass of men you have certain number Of
bagmen-your free first men, whose main object
is to make money and they do make it, make it
in all sorts of unfair ways, chiefly by the weight
and force Of money itself, or what is called the
power of capital; that is to say, the power which
money once obtained has over the labor Of the
poor so that the capitalist can take all its produce
to himself except the laborer's food. That is the
modern Judas's way Of carrying the bag and
bearing what is put therein. "
