When Virginia and Mississippi and Texas
were being reconstructed, Mr.. Hawiey made
silly buncombe speech in congress; brim
full OF loyalty TO the cause of neurology
the whole drift and argument of the speech


being to show that Virginia should be over
run and outraged bv congress, because other
states had suffered the same lndigniues from
the same source. This was good radlcslisn.
1t had plenty of negro in it and best OF all II
succeeded BY receiving the necessary radical
votes So the Rock Island Union printed 1t
out nicely. and sent il over the country as a
recommendation of Mr.. Hawley. A short
time afterwards Mr.. Hswley made an excel.
lent speech in favor of an appropriation by
congress to improve the Mississippi, giving
IS reasons the necessity of having some
competing line OF conveyance in the west to
break down to some extent, the extortions
of railroad companies, which combined to
keep up on the western people a most exor
bltsnt scale of freight tariffs. In the course
of this speech, Mr.. Hawley, not being posted
10 the varying local status of railway interest
at Rock Island, bore down on the rapacity
and over reaching of these dangerous mon,
opoiles with becoming patriotism. But al.
though this was au excellent speech, and
related to matter of vital interest to Rock
Island and vicinity, yet, because the Union
did not dare TO endorse or rreiterate Hawleys
railroad sentiments, it forbore to print,
endorse, or. so far as we know, TO even men
ton the manly appeal, made in behalf of
the river appropriation.


Then again in the month of Nav Mr.
Hswley made a stand against the project of
giving away of a state or two of land to
railroad companies, to assist them iu build.

St. Paul to the Pacific ocean. Mr.. Hswley
made q very interesting showing of the
enormous plgnder that had already been
made of the public domain, and opposed
further grants unless coupled with I'M portans
restrictions.


1t was not known last MAY day Whist the
great radical party in congress would do
with the bill, or what line of policy it
would adopt in regard to their proposed
land grants and so poor HswlsY's speech
WAS suffered to fall dead when its echo sub
sided in the hall OF the house of representa-
tives.


But the wheel of chance turned round and
round, aud time rolled on and on, and at
the closing up of the session few DAYS ago
the land grab bills that had been pending
ever since that same MAY day, acere all

lion of the Union, after . refreshing slumber
of about two months. now boldly publishes
in two columns and a half OF the weekly
this speech OF Hswley's delivered on the
18th of May. The Union feels sure now
that the radical public will approve Haw

"A gentleman was one day opening a
box of dry goods. His little son was
standing near, and as his father took the
packages from the box, he laid SOME OF

Brave, trusting little fellow! He did
not grow restless or impatient under the
burden. There was no danger, he felt,
that his father would lay too heavy load
on him. His father knew his strength,
or rather the weakness Of that little arm.

There are many friends of summer,
Who are kind while flowers bloom,
But when winter chills the blossoms,
They depart with the perfume.
On the broad highway of action


Friends Of worth are far and few;
So when one has proved his friendship,
Cling to him who clings 10 you.
DO not harshly judge your neighbor,
DO not deem his life untrue,
II he makes no great pretensiOns,
Deeds are great though words are few;
Those who stand anil the tempest,
Firm as when the skies are blue,
VIII be friends while life endureth,
Cling To those who cling TO you.
When YOU sec a worthy brother


Bufeting the stormy main,
Lend a helping hand fraterual,


Till he reach the shore again;
Don't desert the old and tried friend
when misfortune comes in view;
For he then needs friendships comforts,
Cling TO those who cling TO YOU.

THE BLOOM OF AGE.-A good woman never
grows old. Years may pass over her head,
but if benevolencc and virtue dwell in her
heart, she is as cheerful as when the spring Of
life first opened TO her view. When we look
upon good woman, we never think of her
age; she looks as charming as when the rose
Of youth first doomed cn her cheek. That
rose has not faded yeti it will never fade. In
her ncighborhUod she is the friend aud bene-
factor. In the church, the devout worshipper
and exemplary christian. Who does not love
and respect the woman who has passed her
days in acts OF kindness and mercy-who has
been the friend Of man and God-whose whole
lite has been scene OF kindness and love-a
devotion TO truth and religion? We repeat,
such woman cannot grow old. She will al.
ways be- fresh and buoyant in spirits, and &C.
tive in humble deeds ofmcrcy and benevolence.
Ii the young lady desires to retain the bloom
and beauty Of youth, let her not yield to the
sway Of fashion and folly; let her love truth
and virtue; and to the close of life she will
retain those feelings which now make life ap.

Heaven is not reached at single bound
But we build the ladder by which we rise
From the lowly earth to the vaultpd skies,
And we mount to its summit round by round
| connt these things TO be grandly true,


Tia noble deed Is a step toward God
Lifting the soul from the common sod
To purer air and broader view.
We rise by the things that are under our feet,
BY what we have mastered by greed and gain.
BY the pride deposrd and the passion slain,
And the vanquished i'll we hourly meet.
We hope. we resolve, we aspire, we trust,


When the morning calls to life and light,
But our hearts grow weary, and ere night
Our lives are trailing IN sOFdid dust.
Wings Tor the angels, but feet for the men


We must borrow the wings to find the way
We may hope, and resolve, and aspire and


pray,


But our feet must rise or we fall again,
Only in dreams is the ladder thrown


From the weary earth 10 the sapphire wall
But the dreams depart and the visions fall,
And the sleeper wakes on her pillow of stone
Heaven is not reached at a single bound,


We must build the ladder 10y which we rise
From the lOwly earth to the yaulted skies.
And must mount its summit round by round.

TABLE CoNvERsATIoN.-You will find

and received at the table Parents too
often forget this and therefore, instt ad
of broodng over your business, instead
of severely talking about Others, let the
conversation al the table be genial, kind,

greeable things to the table in your con
versation, any more than you would III

more good company you have at your
table Is an educator TO the family. Hence
the intelligence and the refinement aud

How TO FoRCE Notwithstanding
to Galignani's Messenger radishes may be
grown in few days by the following
someXhat singular method: Let tome
rood radish seed soak in water for 81
hours, then put them in bag and ex-
pose it to the sun. In the course OF the
day termination will commence. The
seed must then be sown in a well-manur-
ed 'hut-bed, and warered from time to
time with lukewarm water. BY this
treatment the radishrs will, i'll very
short time, acquire sufficient bulk, and
be good to eat.


Ii it be required to get good radisheS
in winter, during the severe cold, an
old cask should be sawed i'll two, and
one halt of ii filled with earth. The rad
ish seed beginning to shoot as before,
must then be sown i'll, the other half OF
the barrel he put on the top OF the full
one, and the whole apparatus carried
down into the cellar. For watering
lukewarm water should be used, as be
fore. In the course OF five or SIX days
the radish will be fit TO eat.

From the Christian Register, Unitarian, Boston.


There is an evident purpose on the
part of some of the socalled conservative
Unitarians to insist on declaration of
faith as a test of discipleshIp, and it may
be that in some form the question will
come up tor discussion next week. 1t is
therefore necessary for full understand
ing of the subject, so as to act intclli-
gently, that we should have in mind the
nature OF the questions at issue. Any
one who is acquainted with the Ortho-
dox, need not be told that the former
laid special stress on the rights of inqui-
ry. They argued with all their might
against making crceds the test of disci-
pleship. We could quote, almost with
out limit, the language Of all the early
Unitarians on this point. They protest
ed against any ecclesiastical body ma
king creed tor them, and planted them
selves on the broad platform on the right
Of private judgment. Whether they
We're correct or not in this, the fact can
not he denied.


In the present conflicts of opinion
there has arisen a class who wish 10 put
the Unitarians on distinctive doctrinal
grounds. They want Il flag to rally
round and to fght under. For this pur-
pose they propose toput forth an author
itative declaration Of faith which shall
stand for Unitarianism, so that when an
inquirer comes and asks, What is Unita-
rianism? What do Unitarians believe? ?
he can have this declaration in reply.


Here then is the position OF the two
parties. The former, keeping true to the
original spirit of Unitarianism, object to
making declaration which may be re-
garded in the light of an authoritative
creed. The other party say, We both
need it and ought to have it.

Sailing Mich Cows.-Wm. Egger,
OF Lowville, Lewis county, New York,
Swiss dairyman of experience. gives tie
method p'neticed in Switzerland by the
best stock keepers, in sailing stock. He
saws that cows should be salted early ev-
cry morning, and if they are fed i'll the
stable, the salt should be given before
foddering. Sailing in this way improves
their appetite they drink with more
regularity, are kept IN better health, and
give more milk than when salted i'll the
usual way, as practiced by dairymeE i'll
America. He thinks it very injurious to
salt milch cows only once or twice a
week, as they will lick too much at a
time, and drink too much water for the
day. To have stock do well, they must
be fed with regularity every day alike,
and meyer given too much otanylhing at
one time.

notified the Pope that he will be
obliged tos.vacate his Office if obc.

From the rapidity with which long
petitions arc being filed with names
throughout this county, urging Congress
to make no deduction in the present duty
on imported lead, it is evident that the
people are alive to the Importance Of the
the subject to the interests of the lead
districts of Wisconsin and northwestern
Illinois. 1t is understood that strenuous
efforts will be made during the present
session OF Congress to abolish the import
duty on lead, or to reduce it to a mere
nominal rate Every citizen of this lead
region will see at once the calamity such
thing must bring upon us. The mines
now being operated do not, on the whole,
more than pay expenses, with ore at $45
per thousand, let the duty be removed
and no smeter can afford to pay more
than s25 or $50 per thousand then what
follows Is it not plain that the mines
must be abandoned, furnaces stand idle,
and thousands of miners thrown out of
employment That mines cannot be
worked and lead manufactured q cheaply
in America as in England, is no reason
why our mines should remain unexplored
and our citizens unemployed even though
it we're econonomical to do So Bat it is
not economy though at coursory glance
it may so appear. There can be no econ.
omy in any measure that sends American
capital abroad to pay for labor, while our
own laborers are in dleness and penury,

One of the most ludicrous incidents
which ever disturbed the equanimity of a
Court of Justice, occurred il the triad of a
case during the present term before Judge
Orr. 1t was enough to have provoked
smile from old Rhadamanthus himself,
much more from the genial temper and
serene benignity of the presiding Judge.
1t occurred in this wise: Some pro-
gress had been made in the case of the
State VS. Virgil Madden. the learned coun-
sci had been discussing the relevancy of
certain evidence, and the Judge, with the
scales of even handed Justice suspended,
was applying the legal tests, when 10 ! one
of the Jury seats was discovered to be va
cant-and one of the twelve units which
make up the integral whole of the jury
wisdom was found wanting. A constable
was sent after the defaulter As might be
supposed he proved to be one of our color
ed brethren, and with the innocence of q
lamb, faced the irate Judge. The follow
ing colloquy ensued:


Judge-"What did you mean, sir, by
leaving your seat without permission OF
the Court ?"


Juror-'I thought, sir, whilst you was
talking, I'd step out a bit"


Judge-"Do you not know, sir, that
you are sworn to try this case, and to hear
the evidence?"


Juror-"Yes, sir, but 1 heard right
smart, and thought that was enough"


The last rejoinder was the feathers
weight that broke the camePs back and
upset the gravity of the Court Jury, Bar,

erless, justice disarmed, and mercy held its
own. The Court felt that lecture would

.Hypocrisy's the strongest calling,


The only saints-bell that rings all in


For no sin else among the saints,
Is taught so tenderly against"


We read that in the early ages of Chris
tianity, many of the primitive fathers of
the church, openly wrote in defence of
living and deceit, and so far of hypocrisy,
as often necessary and justifiable in their
controversies with their opponents, and
the propagation of truth. But who will
now undertake to justify them in such q
wicked course2 Have we so learned
Christi" Can there be more despicaple
character upon earth, than the man who
forces himself to sigh, and groan, and af.
feet humility, and act his prayers. and at
tend meetings, from no other motive but
to forward his popularity or increase his
wealth? Is not such an example a thou
sand times more Infamous than that of an
unbehever, who, being beset with doubts
as to the truth of any popular creed in
any part of the world, has the honesty
openly to express them?


However tenderly the vice of hypocrisy
NAV be handled in Orthodox pulpits,-
however it may be smoothed over, pallia-
ted, and excused, and apologized for by
the enemies of all free inquiry and liberal
opinions, with whom even candor is es-
teemed a crime,-with the wise, and truly
pious, it must even be esteemed a crime
of the blackest dye. How then can We
do otherwise than conclude, that none but
those who are rehypocrites themselves, will
attempt to estimate and approve the prae-
tice Of it in others?
