The following eloquent tribute to the Dee
laration of Independence is taken from one OF
the speeches of the Hon. Abraham Lincoln,
made during his exciting and gallant contest
for the Senatorship in 1858:


These committees (the thirteen colonies) by
their representatives in old independence Hall,
said to the world of men "We hold these
truths to be sef-evident, that all men are born
equal that they are endowed by their Crea-
tor with inalienable rights; that among these
are life liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. y
This was their majestic Interpretation of the
economy of the universe. This was their lofty
! and wise and noble understanding OF the JUS
tice of the Creator to his creatures, to the
whole great family of man. In their enlight-
ened belief nothing stamped with the Divine
image aud likeness was sent to be trodden on,
| and degraded, and ilnbruted by its fellows
They grasped not only the race of men then
living, but they reached forward and seized
upon the furthest posterity. They created a
beacon to guide their children and their chill
dren's children, and countless myriad5 who
should inhabit the earth in other ages Wise
statesmen as they were, they knew the tenden'
cy of posterity to breed tyrants, and so they
established these great selfcvident truths that
when, in the distant future, some man, some
faction, some interest, should set up the doc
trine that none but rich men, or none but
white men, or none but Ang!o-Saxon white
men, were entitled to life liberty, and the pur-
suit of happiness, their posterity might look
up again to the Declaration of Independence
and take courage to renew the battle which
i their fathers began, so that truth, and justice
and mercy, and all the humane and Christian
virtues, might not be extinguished from the
land 80 that no man would hereafter dare to
limit and circumscrbe the great principles
on which the temple of liberty was being
built.


Now, my countrymen, If you have beer
taught doctrines conflicting with the grea
landmarks of the Declaration of lndepend
ence if you have listened to suggestions
which would take away from its grandeur
and mutilate the fair symmetry of its proper
tions if you have been inclined to believe
that all men are not created equal in those in
alienable rights enumerated by our chart O
libtrty, let me entreat you to come back--re
turn to the fountain, whose waters spring clost
by the blood of the Revolution. Think moth
ing of me-take no thought for the politica
fate of any man whonsoever-but come bacl
to the truths that are in the Declaration o
Independence.


You may do anything with me you choose
if you can but heed these sacred principles
You may not only defeat me for the Senate
but you may take me and put me to DEATH
While pretending no indifference to earthl,
bonors, do claim to be actuated in this con
test by something higher than anxiety for OF
fee. charge you to drop every paltry ant
insignificant thought for ang mans success
1t is nothing; Judge Douglas is nothing. Blu

There is, in my opinion, no dentri6ce used
so baneful in it's use as charcoal. l doubt If
there is a dentist, with fair practice of ten
years. but has seen worse effects than from the
use of acids. / have had in my own practice to
insert three entire set of teeth, where the gums
were destroyed; in two of these cases the gums
are permanently discolored, so there is no mis-
take in its agency.


The effect of charcoal is purely mechanical
it is as sharp as diamond dust, and the finer the
worse its effects. Being perfectly insoluble
in the fluids of the mouth, it insinuates itsel
between the neck of the tooth and the gum
producing liberation, recession, and finally loss
of the tooth itself Next to charcoal in their
bad effects on the teeth, are the various kinds
of boles and earths, under different high sound
ing names, and popular as tooth powders.


I would have my patient use no kind ofpow
der upon their teeth oftener than two or three
times month then would not have them ust
the brush, but take some finely prepared chalk
and a stick of red cedar, orange, or hickory

Did it ever strike you, that goodness is not
merely beautiful thing, but THE beautiful
thing-by far the most beautiful thing in the
world and that badness is not merely an ugly
thing, but the ugliest thing in the world? So
that nothing Is to be compared for value with
goodness that riches, honor, power, pleasure
learning, the whole world and all in it, are not
worth having, in comparison with being good
and the utterly best thing for man is to be
good even though he were never to be reward
ed for it and the utterly worst thing for q
man is to be bad even though he were never tc
be punished for it /; and in word, goodness is
the only thing worth loving, and badness the
emily thing worth hating-Reu. Caas. Kings

must remember that the great call to every
man is for the service of humanity, but not for
ssifabBegation--not for an utter denial Of his

The innocent Irritation Of married women is
one Of the denominations of modern society,"
Even desire for promiscuous admiration is
wrong in q wife. The love of one and his ap-
proval should be all that she ought to desire.
Let her be ever so beautiful, it is disgusting
sud appalling sight to see her decorating that
beauty for public gaze to see her seeking the
sttention of senseless tops around, and rejoicing
In the admiration of other eyes than those Of
her husband. Her beauty should be for him
alone and not the gaze of the fools that iutter
around her. There is always among the Sc
date and wise, sensation of disgust when a
married lady attempts to ensnare or entrap
young men by proftse display of hes charms

Committee of Ways and Means. / supposed
it would be satisfactory to the manufacturers
But before had an opportunity of consulting
with them the subject, Mr.. Morrill, bad con
sented to the modification finally adopted, and
which have no doubt they considered better
for them than the law of 1857. They then Of
course refused to accept my proposition, as il
was matter of no consequence whether any.
body else was satisfied or not, if they could
get the consent of the Republican members OF
the Committee of Ways and Means. The ex-
cuse that was given by many of the Represen-
tatires of the wool growers for not supporting
my amendment was that if it was adopted
many of the New-England members would
vote against the bill, and that it would be de-
feated- knew better, aud the vote shows
that / was not mistaken. / am censured
for voting against the bill on account of the
defeat OF an amendment of 80 little impor-
tance.


But knew very well that, if majority
could be found to lay the bill upon the table
or defeat its engrossnrnt, that q motion to re-
consider would bring the friends of the bill to
terms aad we should have got all we asked
And if my colleagues, Mr.. Bingham and Mr..
Sherman, who represented the largest wool
growing districts in the State of Ohio. and
probaly in the United States. had used half
the zeal and energy in support of my amend
ment, that they did to defeat it, it would have
been adopted and carried through without DIFF
fculty.


But they say that the farmers have not been
injured by the tariff of 1857, and that they
ought not to ask any change. If this were
true, it might furnish good reason for admit
ting all wool free of duty but nothing can
justify a fraudulent evasion of the law. But
the law of 1857 has operated precisely as ev-
cry intelligent man must have supposed it
would.


In addition to the reduction of the duties
on wool by the law of 1857, all dyestufs and
all other imported raw materials that are used
in manufacturing textile fabrics were put on
the free list. This gave great impetus to
manufacturers, and they have ever since been
fourishing and prosperous. This has, of
course, increased the demand for wool, and the
farmers have not yet had time to bring up the
supply so to equal the demand.


But the following table which I cut from the
speech of Mr.. Rice of Massachusetts, shows
that the class of wool that is in fact protected
by the law of 1857 has gone up, while that
which is brought into competition with the
wool which is imported free under that law
has fallen in price I also submit the follow
ing table, showing the value of Ohio fleece

When Mrs. Howard left home for Delevan,

not the remotest idea of the treachery of Fred.
Stygle, or the danger that threatened her

gratitude. Accustomed TO receive attention
and homage as the heroic wife of 4 man W hose
adventure and daring in the cause OF science
and discovery have given him fame through

for herself but on his behalf. Though Salutes
may not have hailed her arrival at Montreal,
she must have been made 10 believe that in
the hearts of those around her there was more
genuine admiration for her husbands hero
