Sir have no faith in the Union loving senti-

Professions of fidelity to the Union will be taken
for naught unless they accompanied with
obedience to the Constitution upon which the
Union rests. Then am ready to insist that the
Constitution shall be maintained iuviolate In al
its parts, not only that which suits the temper
of the North, but every clause of that Constitu-
ton, whether they like or dislike 1t. The Con-
stituton binds you to every line, word and syl-

upon this pretext violates his OATH Then of what
consequence is the pretext, that it Is iu violation
of Divine law IF you believe that instrument to
be in violation of the laws of God, how can
your conscience allow you to take the oath of
office If the Senator from New York still holds
to the declaration, that the clause of the Con-
stitution, relative to fugitive slaves is in yiala-
tion of Divine law, how he, as an honest
man. take an oath to support that instrument?
Thus we see the radical difference between the
Republican party and the Democracy. We stand
by the Constitution as our fathers made 1t, aud
by the decisions of the constituted authorities,
AS pronounced in obedience to the Constitution.
They repudiate the instrument, substitute their
own will for that of the constituted authorities,
and then say will protect all the rights I'M

created for that purpose. Mr.. President, shall

consequently lowering the price of material

Our information from every section of
this county induces US to believe that the
wheat crop will be an entire failure-the
early freezes and the long winter havi-g
killed it out. From every other portion of
the State, and from Tennessee, our exchanges
bring like gloomy accounts. In the north
ern States such a failure might be repaired
by spring seeding; but all experiments made
in this State and Tennessee have only served
to demonstrate that the spring wheat is
utterly valueless a bread crop. Our farm
ers will have to plant the more corn, in
order to make up the deficiency, and we
suppose we shall have to content ourselves
with " corn dodgers" for the year to come.

\ GooD WOMAN NEVER GROWS Old
Years may pass over her head, but if be-
neyolence and virtue dwell in her heart,
she is as cheerful as when the spring of
life opened to her view. When we look
at good woman, we never think of her
age, she looks as charming as when the
rose of.youth first bloomed upon her
check. That rose has not faded yet-it
will never fade. In her neighborhood,
she is the friend and benefactor. Who
does not respect and love the woman who
has passed her days in acts of kindness
and mercy? We repeat, such woman
can never grow old. She will always be
fresh and buoyant in spirits, and active
in humble deeds of mercy and benevo-
lence.

The first error of many young wife


is this. The husband perhaps, docs


not regard her wishes in some trivial


matter, as much as she thinks he ought


She begins to W ep, and says,


"You do not love me, ifyou did, you


would do otherwise"


Now if q lady tells her husband re-
peatedly that he does not love her, if
it is not true when she first says it,
she may be pretty certain that it will
be true before long, for nothing is more
directly calculated to ALLEVIATE affection
than to express doubts of its existence.
Not only should your oxpressins be
guarded in this pa! ticular, but even
your thoughts. You should fortify
your heart against the admission of the
first doubt ofyour husbands affection,
with as much care as you would bar
your doors against an enemy that
threatened your life, for such " doubt
is an enemy which will rob your life

gets his eyes fairly open, that he will
take fright and fly away. 1t is more
difficult, and far moro important to re-
tain heart than to win it, and to 90
this, your own thoughts and feelings,
as well as your words and actions must
be carfully guarded l cnce heard a
bereaved husband say, that during
nineteen years his wife lived with him
before being called to rest, he could not
remember that she had ever spoken n
cross word to him, or found fault with
him in single instance. Let it not
be supposed it was tamencss and stu
pidity on her part that enabled her
husband to say this, for she was a
woman possest of superior abilities and
great energy and decision of character.
Such a eulogy from her husband is
more to her praise than volumes in
laudation of her beauty and accom-
plishmcnts.


Let me urge you to beware of the
first cross word, and beware of spirit |
of fault finding. know lady whose |
husband at first was much devoted to
her, and seemed anxious to please her

rolling and shaping the soles These are
then passed TO he story above. where the
shoes are lasted, and the outer soles tackled
on by hand, which process prepares them
for pegging. The pegging machines are
simple in their construction and mode Of
operation, but performing with great dis
patch and accuracy, driving the pegs at
the rate Of fourteen second. One Of the
most curious operations Of the machine is
the manner in which il manufactures the
peg for its own use. A strip Of wood Of
the required width, aud neatly laid in a
coil one hundred feet in length, is put into
the machine, and at every revolution il is
moved forward, and peg cut oil and
driven into the shoe The rapidity and
unerring accuracy with which these ma


chimes perform their work is truly aston
ishing. After being pegged, the shoes arc
passed up to the third story, where the
bottoms are smoothed, secured and brush

stitching machines, tended by females, but
