4 Beautiful Lesson.

Who taught him how 10 fly
And sing such pretty little songs,
In the bright blue morning sky.
And be answered me that 1t was God,
Who had given him his wing,
Aud taught him how to build his nest,
Aud taught him how to sing.
asked the lovely little flower,
Who gave her perfume sweet,
And dressed her in her velvet coat,
So beautiful and neat,
And, she, too, told me it was God,
Who had clothed her with such care,
And taught her how TO breathe so sweet,
Upon tine evening air.
asked the little twinkling star,
Who taught him how to shine,
And run with such steady pace
Along his proper linei
And he likewise told me it was God,
Who bade him shine 40 bright,
And trim his little tiny iamp
To cheer the winter night.
Since all things then look up to God,
The flowers, the star, the bird,
And all obey Ills holy laws
And listen to his word,
!, also, though a little child,
Will try Him to obey,
That may learn to please Him too,
And serve as we'll as they.

The Imperial Reriew is troubled with the
question whether married women should
dance; and it expresses its opinion In a
long article, from which We make an ex-
tract. 1t says:


"There is something almost unseemly in
the spectacle of a half dozen young mar
ried women walking off with some of the
best partners in the room, while row Of
girls are sitting neglected against the wall
Neither ignorance nor thoughtlessness can
be pleaded in excuse Women thoroughly
know women, whatever else they know !;
and there is not one of them that is not
vividly conscious of what heartburning it

watch the many tWinkling feet of ball

of a passive spectator. Grown up women
clutching all the toys or sweetmests off a
Christmas tree at a juvenile party, would
not be more unnatural spectacle. Grown
men eager 10 win the skates at a round
game got up for lads at home for the hoii-
days would not be more cruel OF inhumaD.

~ We Gull the following gem
from DR.. Chapin's lecture on the
mobility of Labor"


Hardly any thing is more con-
temptible than the conceit which
rests merely upon social position ;
the conceit Of those who who i'm
agine that they thus are divorced
from the clay Of common men, Of
those whOshrink with horror from
the idea of work, as something
which degrades by its very con
tact, and yet who, very likely owe
their present position to some not
very remote ancestor, who, recOg-
nizing his call to work, lived more
honestly in the world than they
do, and was not ashamed of soiled
thumbs. 1t is one Of the meanest
things for people to be ashamed
Of the work from which they draw
their income, and which glorified
their ancestors more with their
soiled aprons and black gowns
than themselves with their fine
ribbons and flash, ,iewelry. 1t might
be a fine thing to be like the lilies,
more glOriously clothed than Solo
mon, and doing nothing, as if we
were lilies. Advantageous position
is only mere emphatic call for
work; and while those who hold
the advantage may not be com
PEELED to manual drudgery, they
should recognize the fact that
manual drudgery may be perform

characterizes their own work, and,
therefore, that it is equally honor

Dear ScGnIaagd The Banner
containing your leader upon the
subject Of patronage was received
yesterday. 1t rings of the right
mettle, and you speak with the
proper vim. Having often expe,
rienced the feeling which prompt
ed you to write it, | fully endorse
it, and for want of moral courage
in others to say as much, is the
reason that many conclude if a
man is not q farmer or planter he
is hanger-On and is making his
living without labor, and the pa
tronage extended him is charity.
Your article will meet the views
Of all sensible practical men,
Fools will have their opinions
Their patronage is worthless, and
their opinions are as valuable as
as an inflated bladder. If every
printer, mechanic, labOrer, mer-
chant, &c, wereas high toned and
manly as your article, there would
be many happy results. The pa
trOnage of the worthless would be
lost, others would be more pune
tual in payments, the various oc-
cupations would be elevated, and
above all, the dignity of all be
maintained, to the satisfaction of
knowing they didn't pander for
patronage, and were not objects OF
charity.


All professions and occupations
form links in society-one as much
dependent as another, Advance
the platform laid down, you will

FROM the Baltimore sun, Aprl II.


There Is a portion OF the speech Of Mr..
Nelson in the impeachment case not in the
direct line of his argument for the Presi-
deht, but which is nevertheless Of peculiar
interest, and which incidentally illustrates
in very striking and honorable manner
the rigid and uncalculating frmness with
which Mr. johnson adheres to his convic-
tions of duty. 1t is the recital of facts
given by Mr.. Nelson relating 10 the with.
drawal of Judge Black from the defense OF
the President Mr.. Nelson states that
while Judge Black was one of the counsel
for the President be had an interview with
the President, urging upon him to take
action in reference TO the rights of citizens
of the United States upon the Island of
Alta Vels, and the sending of an armed
vessel TO take possession Of it. The Presi-
dent having declined to do, so Judge Black
(acting for one of the parties interested in
Alta Vels) declined to appear further as
counsel in his case" "Snch," said he, "are
the facts in relation to the withdrawal of
Judge Black and SO far as the President is
concerned, the head and front OF his Offend
ing hath this extent no more"


Well may MFR. Nelson say that the con-
duct Of Andrew johnson under these cir
cumstances was such as will elevate him
in the estimation Of every high-minded
man in the country. Here was lawyer
whose great legal and forensic abilities had
induced the President to look to him as the
sheet-anehor Of his defense, and whose COM
batiye and vehement energies would have
been sufficient to throttle Butler at the very
threshold of the struggle, deliberately
given up by the President rather than yield
to an ulterior purpose, by doing an act
which would have increased the Presidents
popularity with the unthinking, and which
was actually solicited in letter signed by
four of the managers of the Impeachment,
since the impeachment proceedings began.
But the President did not believe that be
had the right TO do that act, and though his
very political existence was trembling 10
the balance, he refused to do it, knowing
he was by that refusal adding 80 his enc
mics, depriving himself of the strength of
Judge Blacks powerful assistance, and ex-
posing himself to the slander which has
actually been circulated since, that Judge
Black had abandoned him on account Of
his guilt. Ii would be difficult to find on
record a more admirable example of lofty
and uncompromisiug devotion to principle,
aud there is no true man in all the land
whose respect for the President will not be
increased by it.

Says an exchange: "But few people are aware
that they do wagons and carriages more injury
by greasing too plentifully than in any other
way. A well made wheel will endure common
wear from ten to twenty five years, ii care is tax
en- to use the right kind and proper amount of
grease; but if this matter is not attended to,
they will be used up in five or six years. Lard
should never be used on a wagon, for it will pen
citrate the hub and work its way out around the
lemons of the spokes and spoil the wheel. Tai
low is the best lubricator for wood axle-trees,
and castor oil for iron. Just grease enough
should be applied to the spindle of wagon to
give 1t light coating; this is better than more,
fer the surplus put On will work out at the ends,
and be forced by the shoulder-bands and nut
washers into the hub around the outside of the
boxes. To oil an iron a1le-tree, frat wipe the
spindle clean with cloth wet with spirits of
turpentine. and then apply few drops of castor
oil near the shoulder and end One tes-spoonful
IL sufficient for the whole"


We would add, that for journals on which
there is heavy pressure, il is good plan to
mix with tho oil some lamp-black common
scot; powdered plumbago or black lead is also
employed for the same purpose.

The following very brief and decidedly
pithy speech delivered by Oliver Crom-
well on dissOlving the long Parliament,
may be new some of our readers. It isa
fair specimen of the rude, vigorous and
hardy style of this singular character:


at is high time for me to put an end
to your sitting in this place. which ye dis
honored by your contempt of all virtue,
and defed by the practice of every vice.
Ye are factious crew, and enemies to
all good government Ye are pack of
mercenary wretches, and would, like
Esau, sell your country for q mess of pot
tage, and like Judas, betray your God
for few pieces of silver. Is there q
single virtue now remaining in you? Is
there one vice you do not possess You
have no more religion than my horse.
Gold is your God Which of you has
not bartered away your conscience for
bribes? Is there a man among you that
has the least care for the good of the
Commonwealth You sordid prostitutesl
Have you not defled this sacred place,
and turned the Lords temple into den
of thieves! ! By your immoral princi-
pies and wicked practices ye have grown
tolerably odious to whole nation. You,
who were deputed here to:get their griey-
ances redressed, are yourselves become
their greatest grievance. Your country,
therefore, calls upon me to clean this
augeaH stable by putting final period to
your iniquitous proceedings in this house,
and which, by Gods help, and the
strength he has given me, | now intend
to do. I command you, upon the peril
of your lives, to depart Immediately out
of this place. Go! Get you out! Make
haste Ye venal slaves, begone! Take

is just as absurd and unphilosophical for the
husband to burn the life out of his grass in
the hot sun as it is for the wife to burn lid
her bread in hot oven. Both practices are
wasteful and make farming an uphill busi
ness. In closing, We tell our readers that the
cry comes to us from all parts of our State,
the harvest is plenteous but laborers are
scarce. How many hundreds there are in
all our villages and cities who have little or
nothing to do and who be useful to them
selves and to others il they would seek en-
ployment on the farms where labor is now so
much needed. We advise them to start at
once from their loafing places and go into the
green fields with their rakes and pithforks.
