perfect application ever applied to the neck of

mend themselves to the judgment of every

I must hasten home, said a rosy child,
Who had ga-ily roamed for hours;
I must hasten home to my mother dear——
Slie will seek me amid the bowers.
If she chides, I will seal her lips with akiss
And ofl‘er her all my flowers.
I must hasten home, said a beggar girl,
As she carried the pitiful store

View the Yankee in whatever light
you please, and he isstill “The Yankee”
Circumstances cannot. alter him ; no sect
class or nation can naturalize him so as
to become one of their own,——in short
do whatlyon will with him he will still
be the same incorrigable Yankee, and
his notions will stick. out. Take him
when and where you please, whether
in the wilds of Kamskatka or the but-
ning sands of Lybia, whether at the
“Hun” or at the "Pole”-——You will find
him reader at all of these places. Still
he is the same, ‘unchangeable Yankee
distinguishedifrom all the rest of the
world by his two peculiarities wlzistling
and whittling. Tis only of the latter
we shall at present speak.
Many classiokittling among the qual-
ifications of the loafer and on that ac-
count have they spoken so littlein its
praise. The world thinks many things
beneath its notice, and because of being
unnoticed pass them by as worthless,-
but there are minds that can see “a pur-
pose in a sparrows fall" and to such
these things are full of charms. The
world looked upon the philosoplier,
flying his Kite as foolish, butbupon the
philosopher, who, having solved the
identity of lightning and electricity, as
upon a Gqd; little did it think that such
an event. would spring from such a
cause. So upon the mathematician
whilst gazing at the swallow darting
through the air, as a. mere simpletou,--
and upon that same mathematician when
by this means he had discovered the cy-
cloid or the curve of swiftest descent, as
a giant in intellect.
Patrick Henry would sit all day by the
side of a streamfis/iiug apparently, but
in truth gazing upon his float moulding
and putting into shape some great. speech
that would make the Senate Chamber of
the whole Nation ring with applause.-
Examples innumerable are before us to
teach us not to despise the small things
of the earth, for there is a moral and a
meaning in them all. Small things are
by no means the indicia of small minds.
There is something noble in the art of
whittling, tis in truth a gift worthy
of Yaiikcedom. The Yankee let me iii-

stuff. You will never flnd him with any
thing else in his hands than a keen blade
and a piece of soft wood, knowing just
how, when and what to cuz if nothingelse
presents itself for the use of hi_s knife.-
You will find him perched on the softest
store box his village possesses, or on his
neighbor's farm gate hacking away.-—
But we are advancing too fast, there are
certain preliminaries. He first dives,\(I
say dives, as that is indicative of depth,)
his hand into his pocket-—that capacious
mavv, that receptacle of odds and ends,
that emporium of notions, for his Jack
knife lately won in a swap; out it
comes full of true pluck like its owner;
two bladed, razor edged, bearing the im-
press of “Rogers Cutlery” to somebody,
can’: exactly makecut who. Altogeth-
er it isa hlomely article, and on that ac-
count, it. iieverstrays into others pockets
something unlike men swives, who are
never homclycnough‘ to stay at home
but are alway out and ‘gossipping, poor
creatures‘ they are pardonable or it isga
failing of their sex. He finds',a shingle,
apinc shingle upon which'.to,_ sliow, his
skill"-and develop the beauties of his

draws premise after premise as his whit-
tlirigs fall to the ground ; he continues
and as he draws. his conclusion, hisknife
is;cutting”,tlirough, tile largestlwliittling
extending diagonally, from end toend,
he turns his shingle over and repeats the
process. As the ‘ Dutchman measures
his thoughts by the length andquickness
of hisupufl“, so the Yankee by the extent
and rapidity «If his whittlings, contented
when having finished his shingle, he
pockets his knife and goes off whistling
regardless of the world around him.
Oh! who can estimate the beauties of
ibis art? ‘With a‘ sharp knife, and pine
shingle and a clear conscience a man can
go through this life happy and contented.
Tis the alleviator of our pains, in source
of pleasure whilst travelling through the
wearyways of this world, the solace of
many woes, the prohibitor of many evils.
Do you suppose that a man could cut his
own throat as long as he had a pine shin-.
gle near him to back away at? I Ifbnt a
sharp knife and a pine shingle had been
placed in the hands of Caesar, the Rubi-
con would never have been passed.-
Napoleon would never if he had been
a whittler, traversed the Alps, or enter-
ed Russia, nor would his illustrious
nephew, with his allied forces he so
so busy in carrying out his charitable
designs in favor of Turkey, were be but
given to this art. In short, many of those
acts that men call great, only for their
infamy, would have been perpetrated.
Let me let you into the secret of whit-
tliiig reader. Its efficiency consistsin this
that it enables a man to think -‘three
times before he speaks.”
The rules of the art are short and_ea-
sy ,all founded upon the principal “cut

are a sharp knife and something soft to
cut,——a pretty little wife and something
wherewith to keep her." A clear con‘

Industry of all N ations.
;, What a grand subject for contempla-
tion, and how momentous and exciting
the occasion, when in one mighty and
magnificent building, showing by itsown
proportions alone, to what a great height
the science and skill of man has-reached
is stored with the productions and man-
ufactures produced by the industry of all
civilized nations. '
VVhen, in that great and beautiful
structure, are collected people from all
parts of the world, admiring and exami-
ning the wonderful productions of the
artist and the sculpture, the mechanic
and agriculturist, seeing and hearing men
of stirring eloquence, and of profound
wisdom who govern nations, astonishing
all by their deep attentive power of mind
and logic, viewing noble hei'o’s‘ warri-
or’s and scientific generals, who have
fought bravely for their country, and
have gained laurels and the applause of
the world in a good cause, and witnes-
which all is carried on and conducted
they are fired with a noble aspiration,
that never while they live, did have any
power to prevent; shall their native couii-
try sink, or fall behind the age, but that
she shall rise and stand foremost in the
rank of nations. These public exhibi-
tions and world fairs, are the things
which are to excite the ambition of the
countries of the globe, and involve them
in one common, generous rivalship, and
as the nations of the earth increase in in-
dustry wealth and intelligence they need
something to stimulate their energies to
new and redoubled exertions, and what
can arouse them more, than filling them
with a desireto excel all others, in those
things which are worthy to be excelled.
Nations are aware of the honor and sta-
‘tion to which they should aspire and
they are most anxious to reach the de-
sired goal, and many of them strive and
labor to arrive, at that state of excellence
/and as they succeed so are they ho'iioi'ed
sing the order and regularity, withq
utterly deficient, in those ans and scien-
ces, and the int_elligem:e which are nec-
essary, for the comfort, the safety and
welfare of the people. There are many
and they are neither respected nor soiiglit
after but are left to their own misrnle,
being continually convulsed and thrown
wars. And what is the great cause of
their failure? It is that insatiable vice,
indolence, which completely checks all
improvement and advancement, and fill
nationsiwith bigotry and evil.
Adversity is that which all have to
experience and -when a nations wealth,
power and prosperity declines by the
causes of famine, pestilence or war the
misfortune is hard to bear and great mel-
ancholy prevails over all, but still she
maypretrieve her fallen fortunes, but
when the population gives over to des-
pondency and indolence, then indeed all
is lost, and never again will she rise and
reach, that state from which she has fal-
len. ‘
‘The great bond which unites nations
together in place and concord, advances
the spirit of discovery, spreads universal
education throughout the world, and in-
creases civilization, and christianiiy, is
industry blended with great labor and
perseverance ?” A:
V Countries may possess men of great
talent and genius, of great natural abili-
ties, (which many suppose to be) that
withontlabor knowledge can be procu-
red, can be profound without reflection,
but without hard study, perseverance,
and industry, their genius will avail, them
not their country nothing. The war in
the east is at the present time, being car-
ried on, with much less vigor and enthu-
siasm than formerly, each nation desi-
ring peace, for they have not the means
wherewith to carry on the contest, and
at the present time, if it were not for
the great interests which England pos-
sesses in our country and on our indus-
try, the threatening hurricane of war
would no doubt take the place of the
peac and plenty which now reigns, and
involves us in war, bloodshed and fam-
ine, but the interest of both, are at too
great a stake, and rather than risk the
chances of war, they would both prefer
to suffer some privations and losses.-—
Seldom has the time in any age been so
stirring as at the present date.
Inventions have been made, discove.
eries accomplished, manufacture, com-
merce, and agriculture, which were once
most laborious, and attended with great
hardships, have been made comparative-
ly easy, the earth abounds with learned
and eloquent men; The old world seems
to be fully aroused, and bent on accom-
plishing great things, while the young
and mighty republic of the western con-
tinent, is completely awakened from her
recent lethargy, and is determined to Ex-
cel and rise above all nations in wealth
and power, greatness and generosity, and
by the help of God she will succeed.
And the only cause of our countries ri‘
sing to its present state and height, is by
the industry and indomitable persever-
ance of its people.
Itgives but a poor support, to the
idler, but to the laboring class, and by
that is meant no particular people, for the
president and the farmer, the statesman
and the mechanic, the wealthy merchant
and the poor clerk, are all included un-
der that head, and on them it throws her
blessings.
Our country is a place of place of la-
bor, a mighty workshop where all are
engaged in working after wealth, distinc-
tion or happiness and all through indus-
try.
All is dependent upon industry, for
here no titlell order exists, no heredita-
ry powers or honors. If they aspire to
happiness or distinction, the work must
be wholly their own, and in the direction
of the affairs of the nation, (and in no
other country is it. so fully enjoyed) may
be seen, him who has often followed the
plough, and he sits beside the wisest and
most distinguished of the land; all ac-
knowledge his right, and he feels no iii-
feriority.
Where but a few years ago could be
seen no work of ' civilized labor, but all
war in its natural state, rough and al-
ost impassable, where travelling would
ave been attended, with a great hard-
ships and dangers, and almost unsur-
,monntable obstacles would have had to
have been overcome, where the wild
and fearless iiidian roamed, knowing nor
fearing no human power, greater than
their own, now may be seen the change
which man’s industry has caused.
Over the mighty foaming cataracts,
the deep and swiftly running rivers, brid-
ges, mighty structures of man’s hand
have been placed, which affords a safe
and easy passage to all. The wild and
fertile valleys, and even rocky and bar-
ren places, have been made by perseve-
rance and labor, to yield a rich produce,
for both man and beast.
Then, say iiot,man~'s imperfect, heaven in

SIR : I have been reading your speech
on the Kansas Nebraska bill—lIouse of
Representatives, Dec. 14, 1855. One
short passage gave’ me great pleasure.——
You say : “I have briefly passed over and
analyzed this act. I denounce itasti-ans-
ferring the just powers of the people of
this States to the National Executive, al-
ready swollen with its enormous powers
of Federal patronage and the veto. The
transfer is a bitter pill.” No doubt of it
and the "entire bill, doubtless, is bitter
still. But you were enforced to swallow
it. It is the sweeter to us because you
loathe it. Disgorge it ifyou dare. Re-
peal the Fugitive Slave Law at your
peril. Pitiful, meddling, liectoring fa-
na:ic—you dare not; do it. The South
is aroused ; you see it, and you will quail;
you will crawl back into your fanatical
den, and snarl, and growl, and show
your claws, but you dare not strike, and
I, for one, am sorry for it. Now mark
me——you have got-thevote in the House
to do it. Refuse Kansas admission into
the Union, and in , ninety days she will
be admitted into a Union freed from your
foul, contaminating connection.
Believe this is [not] intended as a
threat to deter you—(you are deterred
already)-—-it is sent to you in the hope
that if you have one spark of courage,
in may fire that spark. .’Tis vain-you
wili. retreat from your lofty boasting:
faster than your regiment ran from the
Nlexicans at Buena Vista, whe°n my bad
to be covered by Southern shields.
Respectfully. John A. Jones.

\V.-\sHiNc'roN, Feb. 19, 1856 l
Sin: Your letter of the 7th inst., could
not have caused me to spend one mo-
ment of my time, not one drop of ink in
reply, but for the fact that, on inquiry
of the courteous members who represent
Georgia in this body, I lea.riierl that ve-
ry recently you had the audacity to as-
pire to the seat in the American Con-
gress, occupied Gov. Lumpkin.
The object of your impudence in
thus addressing me, a stranger to you, is
not well understood. Ifit was to qfeml
me, permit me to say r.hat,witho rov-
ocation, no geritlemazn would ins t me
—no blac/.-gzlarii can I To which class
you may belong, it is not my province to
decide : I therefore submit your epistle
through the Press to the people north
and south, believing that their justjudg-
lllcllt will assign to you your proper po-
SILILHI.
but in doing this I beg of the north-
ern re:u‘..:i- not to judge the people of
Georgia by the standard you have thus
consmuzted for yourself, because my in-
tercourse, for six years in this Hall, with
their representatives, satisfies me that
the criterion would be grossly unjust.-
Georgia is thefast State of the South.
She has made rapid progress in “physical
development.” Although s be sends here
those with whom I cannot agree in all
respects in matters of national legisla-
tion, still she sends men of high-toned
character and true “chivalry,” When
3-gee in the spirit which characterizes"
the statesman and the gentle _man—-a spir-
it whichlit might be well for you to cul-
tivate.
I ought, however to consider your let-
ter, in some degree, Well-timed. Of late
a portion of the newspaper press in the
Free States have assailed me because 1
had the temerity to propose that Mr. Or!’
of South Carolina should presiale tempo-
rarily only over this body, while in its
unorganized condition, in order to pre-
serve that dignity which becomes an
American Legislature. , It is poissible, if
not probable, that Wm. Lloyd Garrison,
of Massachusetts may for this cause have
burned me in effigy, as he burizied the
Constitution of “our country” on the 4th
of July, 1854. “Covered by the shield
of distance, you may do the same in
Georgia whenever you wish to amuse
yourself in that way.

‘No, I don’t play on any instrument,”
said our friend, Tom Pringle, in answer
to our question. “To tell the truth, I
became discouraged by a slight miscon-
ception, when I was a young man, I
wasn’t appreciated, you know, and all
that sort of thing.”
"Well you see,” said he in reply to
another question, it was about twenty
years ago when I was studying law,
and my brother was a medical student,
that we both fancied we had a wonder-
ful talent for music. So John bought a.
flute, and I ii fiddle, and turning one of
the attics into a study, we practiced
there half the night through. VVe did
not want any one to know about it, es-
pecially our father, who had very strict
notions as to the value of time, and to
make him think us usefully employed I
had quantities of law books heaped up,
and John had a skull and all sorts of
bones scattered about. VVe knew that
up in our "study,” none could hear us
but Betsy, the housekeeper, and as she
was our old nurse, we felt sure the
would keep our secret. One morning,
after we had been wbiling the long night
hours away with our music, to our own
delight, we came down late to breakfast,
looking, I suppose, somewhat unre-
freshed.
“You musn’: study too hard, boys,"
said our father, considerately.
“Yes, sir,” said I, gravely.
Just then Betsy appeared at the door,
and looked mystriously at my mother.
"Yes, what is it,” said mother, aur-
prised at Betsy’s excited manner. What
is it, Betsy ?”
"Well, ma’am, 1 wish to say ma’am,”
—Betsy always spoke in that short nip-
ping way when she was what she cal-
led "worked up,”—-“I must leave you
ma’:im.”
,__~,,“Leave me! why '.”’ asked mother.
“Yes, ma’am, it in twenty-five years
that I’ve been with you, ma’am—|nd
it’s the boys at last, ma’am. I can’t
stand it, and I ain’c going to. It’s not
Christian like, iiia’am.”
"What have the, boys been doing?”
asked mother.
"It’s Mr. John, ma'am, and sometimes
I think Mr. Tom helps him. He's got
some poor creter up stairs, ma’am, and
he toiments him awful. He screaks
and groans all the night through. It is
worse than the heathen. I’ve stood it
for more nor a week. I didn’t get a
wink of sleep last night, and what that
poor fellow went through was dreadful.
I know they say such things must be
done by doctors, but Iain’t going to
stay where it is, and 1 never thought
John was the one to do it.” And Bet-
sy gave my brother a. look of wither-
ing condemnation. -
My mother was acute enough to see
that something unusual was going on in
our study, and telling Betsy she would
enquireinto it, she dismissed her for the
present.
That was the end of our musical
practice, though not. the end of the no-
ry, for our father took care we should
not forget it. It was a long time before
we heard the last about that poor crater
up sta.irs.—1V. Y. Dutchman.
Out-spoken P0pery.—The Bufalo
Commercial Adver ziser translates the
following article from its German catam-
porary,the Bufalo Telegraph. Father
Oerter writes in his “Catholic Kitchen-
zeitniig," or Advocate, a long article,
from which we make the following ex-
tract 2
“Whoever undervalues the spiritual
power of the Church in the United
States, wanders in a fearful laby i'inth.—
We have not only seven archbishops,
thirty-three bishops, and seventeen hun-
dred and four priests, all in the service
of the Pope and the Church, but we
have also thirty-one colleges, t.hii'ty-aev-
on seminaries, and a hundred and seven-
teen female academies, all founded by
the Jesuits, bringing danger and death
to unbelief and misbelief, to American
Know Nothingism and un-American
Radicalism. And the hierarchical band
which, like a golden thread, surrounds
forty one dioceses and two apostolic vi-
canates, and stretches from the Atlan-
tic Ocean to the still waters of the Pa-
cific, and maintains an invisible, secret,
magnetic connection with Rome-—this
hierarchy is to us a sure guarantee that
the Church, perhaps after severe strug-
gles and sufferings will one day come
off victorious over all the sects of Amer-
ica. It is computed that there are at
present, more than two millions of Cath-
olic inhabitants in the United States
who are baptized and confirmed Catho-
lic soldiers of the Lord, and who, at
the first summons, will assemble in rank
and file; then will men not undervalue
the power of the Catholic Church in
the United States. I will scatter sand
in no one’s eyes, and therefore I stand
“forth openly and directly declare that the
'power and the influence of the Catholic
Church are stronger than many believe.
VVhoevei' doubts this must be either a.
fool or blind.”
VVE HAVE been struck with that pas-
sage of Lieut. Maury’s “physical Geog-
raphy of the sea,” in which he computes
the effect of a single inch of rain falling
upon the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic
includes an area of 25 millions of square
miles. Suppose an inch of rain to fall
upon only one-fifth of this vast expanse
"It. would weigh,” says our author,
.“three hundred and sixty millions of
runs; and the salt which, as water, it
held in solution in the sea, and which,
when that water was taken up as vapor
was left behind to disturb equilibrium,
nearly twice as much as all the ships in
the world could carry an a cargo each.
It might fall in a day; but occupy what
time it might in failing, this rain is cal-
culated to exert so much force-—which
is inconceivably great—in disturbing’-,tho
balance of the ocean. If all the water
discharged by the Mississippi River du-
ring tbeyear were taken up in oh: mighty
measure, and cast into the ocean at one
effort, it would not make a gleater (lis-
uirbance in the equilibrium of the sea
than would the fall of rain supposed.-
And yet, so gentle are the operations of
nature, that movements so vast are im-
up.
