For the personal compliment to me beg you

But few public servants, on retiring from their
official trusts, can expect plaudits like these
which you SO generously bes tow. and events
seldom occur affording to officers In places OF
high responsibility the opportunity OF win
ming or meriting such commendation. For
myself personally can only say that tried l,a
faithfully to win your approval ana to de-
serve your confidence and praise.


As to your other resolutions, besides tn at
expressing your compliments to me- add with
great pleasure that most heartily concur
with the meeting in them. They show our
people, without distinction of party, united
They express the sentiment OF attachment to


the Union as formed by the Constitution. That


Union and Constitution tre parts Of our po-


litical inheritance and property, OF which


none shall deprive us. That We will resist


aggressions upon these as well as all other es-


sential rights. That we will organize and arm
for defence. That We will make the militia
system efficient. That we will willingly pay


the expense of defence: That we will demand
a faithful observance from each State, as well
as from indiv iduals, Of the essential confede
rate duties and obligations And that we viii
prepare for, whatever conflict may threaten
10 nam tain our Just equality, our rights, safe
ty. self-respect, honor and peace, by the vigi
lance of civil police as we'll as by arms. Al
these approve and sincerely thank you To-
adopting A lawful purpose, firmly persisted
| in and maintained by courage and wisdom

SET HIN BAcK.-There is good story
told Of an old gentleman who made it rule
that his children should dine at side table

age they were permitted to cat with the older
members Of the family. On one occasion,
visitor. who was aware of the custom Oh
served ono of the boys, who lac thought was Of
the requisite age, eating at the side table, and
asked him If he was not sixteen years old
Yes said the boy,"l was sixteen some time
ago, and father let me come 70 his table but
there was dish for dinner that | was worry
fond OF, ana, instead Of being helped, under
took to help myself, and reaching too far met
with an accident, and so he set me back two

- WE RATHER LIKE IT.-The repub-
licans are frightfully indignant because
100000 old wings of New York have
come out for Douglas and johnson. They
think we, too, ought to be indignant over
it. But we are not. We don't allow such
trihes to ruffle our placid temper in the
least. In order to make the Irish and
German mad, they call these new recruits
Know-Nothings. They are not Know
Nothings; but if they were the Irish and
Germans would look well kicking up q
row because 100000 men have left an
organization, to which they were opposed,
and joined the democratic party. We
keep up our organization, hold public
meetings, and send out speakers and doc
uments for no other purpose than to
secure accessions from opposing parties TO
our own; and now we arc told that when
they como by thousands, wo must get
mad and leave-particularly if we happen
to DO of German or Irish extraction That
would be pretty business.

dark;
Her timbers were framed by patriot band,
And they're watching her still from the shadowy


land.
Oh, cling to the Union! tbs Freedoms last trust;
Her hope will have fed when It falls to the dust;
The laugh of the tyrant will sound DER the main
When ne hears from our country tho clank of his


chain.
Oh, cling to the Union! for brothers we are;
We can spare from our fag not stripe nor q

For our hopes, snd our aims, and our glory are


one.
Oh, cling to the Union! twas purchased with


blood,
Twas wet with the tears of the brave and the good
The spirits that formed it have gone to their rest
And the turf lieth green on each patriot breast.
Then cling TO the Union! the hope of the world!
Let the flag Of the free on the breeze be unfurled
Till liberty's song shall triumphantly roll
From ocean to ocean, from tropic to pole.

One Of the great prerequisites ior
the successful training of children at
home or in the school-room is Pa
tieuce.' Every teacher, whether
the mother or iireling, viii find
her labors made easy by the exercise
of this cardinal virtue. If they let
patience have its perfect work in
their own hearts, it will be visible in
all their conduct, and exert salutary
Influence upon the minds OF the young.
in whose future well-beipg they feel
a deep interest.


There may be hours when, per,
plexed with care and worn out with
undue labor, the mother may feel the
rising of impatience in her heart; but
let her not give way 20 this baneful
emotion, but nip it in the bud before
the fruits become visible in acts
which she may afterwards bitterly
repent. Let no unkind word or
hasty blow be given in anger, lest
the rc cmembrance Of it should prove
a poisonous arrow TO their bleeding
heart, when those loving eyes are
closed in death, and the head which
nestles on ber bosom is pillowed IN
the grave. Children are won by
kind words; but cross looks and
harsh tones deter them from seeking
our sympathy, or giving Us then ,l
confidence. The mother and teach.
er should regard the sports o.
childhood as blessing, join in thel'
innocent amusement, and draw from
thence some useful lesson for then
future consideration. They shoule
learn to look up to her as a ta-ient
in whom they can confde, who wal
bear patiently all their childish follle
and in kindness seek TO improy'
whatever may be amiss in their man
ners or morals.


But should they torn a deaf ear t
to her teachings, and scorn her II
s,ructions, seeming inclined to folio


the evil promptings Of a sinful an
.neryerse heart, she has then need
a double portion of patience to SUI


= tb;s great trial, and el
able her at last to overcome e'


with good and bring them by u

Let but the heart be beautiful,


And care not for the face;
/ heed not that the form may waut
Pride, dignity, or grace, )
LIE. the mind be filled with glowing thoush'
And the soul with sympathy,
And / care not if the cheek be pale,
Or the eye lack brilliancy.
What though the cheek lie beautiful
It soon must lose its bloom:
The eyes bright lustre soon Will fade
In the dark and silent tomb;
But the glory of the mind will live
Though the joyous life depart,
And the magic charm can never die
Ola true and noble heart.
The lips that utter gentle words
Have beautyxktheir own,
And more l prize kindly voice
Than music's sweetest tone;
And though its sounds are harsh or shriii,
If the heart within beats free.
And echoes back each glad impulse,
'Tis all the world tc me.

serted husband obtained divorce and plodded
on alone. After while the sister of the re-
creant wife, living on an adjoining farm, slow

married. The other day knock was heard at
the door. and the farmer, opening it, beheld,
wan, pale and ragged, his truant former wife.
Her father had turned his back TO her, her par
amour had fallen into drunkenness. and hope
less, homeless, she as a last resort turned to
her former happy home. The farmer called
his wife; she would not see her sister, but a

piled her present wants, and then built her a

by his bounty she is living out the remnant of
