Did ever yet a belle refuse man
And let him from her side depart forever
Without proposing platonic plan
or sweet communion for the futuref Neverl
Her lover once, her friend you must remain.
Ana love her still, although You love in vain.
Each made the others heart a vestal urn,
In which was lighted a platOnic flame

The objections urged by the Dover
Delawarean to the Sackett peach yellows
bill, are very well stated. There seems to be
no necessity for giving three men such
autocratic control over the property Of
their neighbors This is an emphatic OBJ
lection when the cause and nature of the
disease are so little understood. Then
there should be some compensation
to these who suffer loss Of
property BY the operation Of
such law. 1t win be difficult to guard

should not be effected withoutI thorough

very badly in Michigan. for the noble old
Roman Thurman had just made some
splendid speeches there Just at this
critical period General Ben went to Wash
ington and after enjoying the climate a
day or two he went to Michigan and
began to make high tariff speeches in the
interest of the laborers for whom his
tender heart was bleeding. Just at this
time-how beautifully circumstances
coincide-the tariff on bunting was
raised to II cents per yard and 40 per
cent. ad valorum.
How Ben Buffers generous breast must
have swelled up with Joy when the dis
patches flashed the glad tidings that the
increase of the tariff would enable him
to raise the wages of the poor working
girls in the bunting factory. With what
noble ardor he must have plunged into
the campaign when he felt assured that
only yards Of bunting would be forced
upon the American market this year in
stead of 8. With what vigor he entered
into the struggle to preserve the Home
Market for all American goods, and Incl
dentally for bunting when he was assured
that the poor working girls would not be
deprived Of their pittances
1t is true that wages have been re.
duced in the bunting factory, but that is
simply because the laborers are so much
obliged to Ben for his efforts in their be.
half. They freely acknowledge that he
deserves 1O0.per centum profit. They are
willing tosapply part Of their wages to
reward Ben for his generous and patri-
otto efforts to save them from starvation.
Such is the Romance OF Ben.

Wages Reduced in Pennsylvania.

Tor the protection" policy last Novem-
Der, the votes being cast chiefly by the
Worklngmen under the advice of the tariff

home manufacturers enabled the latter
TO give high wages. Quite true. The
protected manufacturers is enabled to
give high wages, provided he does NOT
want all the possible profits of his busi-
ness for himself. ,Since November the
Pennsylvania dupes of the protectionist

PHILADELPHIA. Tuesday. Feb. 10. 1850
The mellow touch of antique
Japanese Porcelain comes only
with centuries, and that means
hundreds or thousands of dol
lars. Croesus or Dives might
affect them for table or cabinet
you wouldn't be apt to. But
the modern Porcelain of Japan
in useful objects has been cost
ly, and in many items is costly
still.
We recall the first Japanese
Special Embassy to this coun-
try, which went the rounds of
our larger towns and cities
thirty years and more ago.
Doubtless there are treasured
up in hundreds of American
homes the little tokens of por-
celain and wicker that the dis
tinguiShed Japs presented in
recognition of courtesies re-
ceived. Trifles they were. In
these days they would seem
absurd that they are SO cheap.
Looking back, we fancy the
Jap laughing in his flowing
sleeve at the wondering adj
miration which his bit Of porce-
lain evoked, much as you
would in giving a bit Of mirror
or a few gaudy beads to a savage
Hottentot.
But time brings changes.
The Jap may be a heather, but
he is a bit civilized. Our art
is incomplete without his. In
choice shapes and rich colors
his pottery adorns our stateliest
halls, Eliminates our cabinets,
embellishes our tea tables, and
thus learning of him important
lessons the bird of freedom
roars gently.
There is a struggle now.
Prices are valiantly wrestling
with decoration fantastic but
artistic, brilliant but beautiful,
upon some things Of which are
useful, Others ornamental,
many both.
Here is the pith of the mat
ter-the which and the why
and the what we drop. Not
logic but prices, not argument
but things.
5000 pieces of japanese
Porcelain are here at prices SO.
low that they only suggest the
thought that the goods are to
be sold for pay.
a row Of eight Kaga speci-
mems looks down on the writer.
Each piece is graceful with
form that will be beautiful for
ever and pleasing with color SO
charming that the eye never
wearies with it. Comparisons
of prices would almost cast
odium on the goods. Say what
you please, half, quarter, you
cannot get it too low.

Jas. II. Wallick Il Co.'S Cattle King will
be produced at Granite Hall on Saturday
evening. As this company has appeared
here before in the Bandit King, our theatre
goers know that they carry none but first class
actors, and no individual mention need be
made of them, suffice it to say that the com
psDy is stronger than ever before, and that
the Cattle King. is equally as good if not
better than the Bandit King With four acting
horses. four great comedians, four ladies',
four loads Of special scenery, four hundred
exciting and thrilling situations, and four
thousand funny saying, the company might
sp,ly be termed the big four" The Bos-
ton Daily Advertiser says:
That favori,e romantic actor, j. II Wal.
lick, in his drama The Cattle King" was
the attraction at the Grand Opera House last
night. There vas a large audience present
viii h frequ nily waxed enthusiastic over
he many xelting scenes in the play. Mr..
Willick was well supported by his company
Mr.. B!andea as Don Pedro, the wicked Mex
can cattle king, and Mr Sully as Barney
Ryan being very good. Mr.. Wallick was
frequently applauded throughout the per
formance, and was called before the curtain
after his ine acting in the third act in the
cremation scene. The Introduction of the
handsome trained hores upon the stage dur
ing the play impaired realistic air to the
performance. Mr.. Walick will appear in
the Bandit King during the last half of the
week at the Grand Opera House.
