The Vieil Digger-An Owe: True Ballad.
av JOHN (3. sin.
Come hstcn all while I relate,
What i-ecently befel
Unto a farmer do-.vn iniliaine.
While digging of a well.
Pull many ii yard he dug and delved,
And still he dug in vain,
" Aluck l-" quoth he_. “ e'en water seems
Prohibited in Maine E"
And still be dug and delved away,
And still the well was dry,
The only water in be found
Was in the f=.irnier's eve -,
For hy the breaking of the bunk
That. tumbled from its station.
All suddenly his hope was‘ dashed
01' future liquidation !
And now his sands were running fast,
And he had died, no doubt, '
Bait that just. when the well caved in,
He happened to be out !
“ Aha !-—-I have a lucky Iliouglit‘-‘-
Eicluimed this wicked mun-—-I
" ’l‘o dig anew this cursed well
lseaa. pretty plan :-
" l‘ll hl-le me straight, and when my wife
And eke my neighbor: know
Wlmt’s happened to my digging here,
They-‘ll think that I’m below 1 ‘
‘* And so to save my precious life,
They'll dig the well. no doubt,
l'-.‘en deeper than it was dug at first,
Before they find me out 3”
And so he hid him in the barn
'i‘iirougl.i all the hungry day.
To hide the digging of his well
In this deceittul way.
But list what grief and shame be fel,
This false, ungrateful man,
The while he slyly matched to see
The working of his plrln ;
The neighbors all with one accord
Unto each other said :-
“ With such a wcight of earth above,
The man is surely dead."
And then the wife, - with pious cure,
.-lll needless cost ‘lo save,
Said-—-“ since the Lord liatli willed it so,
E‘en let it be his grave l"

Harsh Words.
Harsh words have power to rend in twain
The dearest kindred tics of éurth,
And never t'riendshlp‘s sacred chain,
(nwoven c‘en from childhood’: birth-
For they have driven from its home
Many a meek and helpless child,
I-lenceforlh u wanderer to room
Through putli‘s of sin iind shame dellleil.
Ilnrsli words I how often they pollute
The lips that God has formed no {air I
And voices sweet as serapli’s lute,
How oft the tones of discord bear I
Oh ! words in angry moments said
Have scaled full an early doom,
And loving hearts have o'er thorn bled
That now lie broken in the tomb.
Harsh words 1 they bear a poison sting.
And youth, and hope, and all delight
Beneath their touch lie withering,
Like flowers beneath the canker’: blight.
As frosts enclialn the rippling rill
And hush its joyous lay to rest,
’Ti.- thus harsh words will freczeand chill
Atfection‘s fcunt within the breast.

How iii-1 DID i'r.—Tlie editor of the
Butler County (Ohio) Democrat, lately
~ attended ii. wedding in that. County,
where the ceremony was pcijformed by a
young Justice of the Peace. The editor
thus reports:
The ’Squirc who is :1 regular Democrat
and very young, besides being extremely
basliful, and as luck would have it, this
was the first wedding at whicu he had
ever been called upon to ofliciute, it may
be supposed that he was somewhat cin-
barrassed. He muuaged,howevcr, though
with 9. trembling voice, to call upon the
parties “ to stand up and join hands,”
but, horrible to relate, he had forgotten
the ceremony, and neglected to take with
him his book ! After a pause of 8- few
‘ moments, the ’Squire broke the silence
with the following questions: “ In the
name of the commonwealth of the State
of Ohio, I ——-—— !” “Know all men
by these—--——----- 1” ‘-‘ Do you solemnly
swear to t.-l;is_womau to be your wife, to
love, honor and obey her, to support the
Const.itut.iou of the State of Ohio, and
vote the Dcinocratic ticket I” As we
back'ed out of the door in convulsions,
with our lists stuck into our ribs, we im-
agined we .bem‘d the Groom respond
“ yes,“ and the Squire pronounced th-cm
“ man and wife."

“ Oh, that I could whistle down the

With all the go-nlieaditivencss of the
present age, there seems to be an in-
. creased unwillingness in most minds to
advance in the journey of life. The
struggle to keep you/lg, is almost univer-
sal, and when age has so far crept on to
rciider it impossible longer to disguise the
fact, then it is we hear the deterniiiiutioii
to preserve :1 green old age. Serious as

he tells of himself. IVhnt excuse he of-
fered does not appear. We may venture
to guess, liowever, that he did not plead
9. loss of "eyesight, or the want of a ‘pair
of specs!
Old age is, with most. persons, the to-
morrow of life—an event expected by all,
yet a1woysin‘the perspective. It comes
on gradually, and if we may credit the
testimony of huiidrerls, it is very dilliciilt
to realize that one /ms really urrived at
tlizit period of existence termed old age.
Dr. Chalmers when upwards of sixty, re-
marked that he found himself looking
forward to a time when he should be an
old man, though he had always looked
upon a woman of thirty-eiglit as quite
advanced in life. But why this universal
dread of being old ? Is not the evening
as pleasant as the morning, and the pros-
pect beyoud infinitely more attractive.?
If it is dcsirwble to “ tarry at the sum-

. THE WAY To Do BUSINESS.-—It is sel-
dom in the busiest seasons and in the most
prosperous times that our retail merchants
are more crowded with customers. Those
men who have taken pains to inform the
public that they have ‘goods to sell, and
will sell them cheap for cash, are driving
a. brisk business. Many of this class of
merchants are selling more goods than at
the some timelast year. If ever the fact
was demonstrated beyond pcradventure,
that gleiisivc advertising is a paying
iuvestm ut, it has been duringthe past
few weeks in this city. The cvidcnce
is conclusive that thousands of dollars
worth of goods have been sold for cash
as the result of advertising ; where with-
out it, the sales would have been a. few
hundreds. We merely state this as 11 fact,
which ought to be fully realized by every
business muu.—- Harrrford Cour/mt.

" Nothing is ever madam Vain.“
In all our hopes and visions of human '
greatness, we are not likely to succeed in
our plans, unless we persevere, It is
generally easier to lay plans than to per-
form them, and we poor mortals have ful-
filled the truth, by constantly forming
schemes, making all preparations that
fancy can suggest, and abandoning them
at the slightest discoiiragement; with
the thought that, after all, it. will not
profit us, and that in the end it will all
be for nought. Fancy is always pleasan-
1_ei' than the reality, and what then seems
profitable and easy to us, we would
shrink from performing it) the reality.-
Those that are the most impulsive and
eager to commence, are geiierally the
most dilotory and most easily discour-
aged. - The truth of this proverb must
ccrtiiiuly have had much to do with
achieving our glorious independence, and
able constituitlou. When our forefathcrs
drew and signed the great Declaration
of Independence which freed us from the
yoke of tyrannical England, and boldly
asserted their. right of freedom,‘ they did
not expect the reward that crowned their
feeble elforts. And during the; darkest

turned to a good purpose. I Little things

The nettle
which, generally speaking, is thought of
no use whatever, is the means of feeding
thousands of poor people, that would
otherwise starve. When we gaze at c
snow-fluke, it is wonderful to suppose tluit
such a small object mingling together can
form huge avalanches, which have been
the means of death. But as the prov-
erb says, “ Tull oaks from little acorns
grow,” it really shows us that small
things are of as much consequence as
large ones. It may appear strange to
some, that little things were never made
without an object, but its is true. Eve-
rytliing in Creation, from the highest; to
the lowest degree, that has had bestowed
on them the honor of a name, was made
form purpose. The lowest insect that
was ever framed, is capable of enjoying
its short existence, in its own way, as
highly us the greatest class in nature,
which is man. How many schcuies have
been formed that have utterly‘ failed for
the want of_ a little p0l'S(‘V€l‘ill‘lCe on our
part. How ni:mybi'i1liuiit things might
have been known had perseverance

success lies, in ii great measure, in the
nature and intention of our plaiis. If
they are, literally speaking, of no great
consequence, of course we do not feel the
some interest in them as in more impor-
tant; ones. Who has not noticed the
heaving chest, the beaming eye, when
one is preparing 9. gift; for some loved
one. It is ,_impossible to suppose that
they are laboring in vain. If there is
any doubt on the subject, it would quick-
ly be dispelled, by viewing the satisfied,
contented look, with which the appro-
ving word, or loving smile is regarded.———
Things which are usually called useless,
nftenvurds turn out the most useful. It
appears singular that one, in grasping
the power of fame, puss by the smaller,
and ascend to the highest steps in umbi-

beauties, but the smallest objects in N21-

i'1“he President‘s Message upon the Le-
oomptoii Constitiitiozi.
We conclude to give the I’:‘esident.’s
late message in lieu of lessinterestinginis‘
cellouy, leaving out all unimportant poi’-
tions: so as not to occupy unneces.=.zir;v space
in our columns : ,
This document was siibmitted on Tues-
day, Feb. 2d.
Saying that he has received but a sin-
gle certified copy of the constitution from
Calhoun, he submits that.
“A_ great delusion seems to pa-rv:idc
the public mind in i'(-lntioii to the condi-
tion of parties in Kansas. This arises
from the difficulty of inducing the Armor-
icnn people to realize the fact that‘. any
portion of them should be in a state of
rebellion against the government under
which they live. Wheii we speck of the
affairs of Kansas, we are apt to 1'cfc1'
merely tothc existence of two violent:
political parties in that territory, divided
by the question of slavery, just as we
speak of such parties in states. This-
presents no adequate of the case. The
dividiugliue there is not between two
political parties, both acknowledging the
lawful existence of the government, but
between those who are loyal to ‘this gov-
ernment and those who have eiideuvored
to destroy its existence by force and usur-
pation ;’ between those who sustain and
those who have done all in their power to
overthrow the tei'i'itoriu.l government they
would long since have subverted, had it
not been protected from assaults by the
toops of the United States.
. “ Such has been the condition of uffziirs
since my inmigiimt-ion. Even since that
period, a large portion of the people of
Kansas have been in it state of rebellion
against the goveruuient, with 0, iiiilitary
leader at their head of most turbulent.
and doiigerous cliaracter. They have
never acknowledged, but have constant-
ly renounced uiiddelied, theygovernmeni
to which they swore allegiance, and have
been all this time in a state of rebellion
against its authority. They have all the
time been cndcuvoring to subvert it, and
establish a revoliitiouory government im-
der the so called Topeka constitution in
its stead. Even at this very moment the
Topeka legislature is in session.”
He charges all manner of rebellious
conduct upon the free state men, dwelling
on this topic at some length. The same
stuff can be found in any of his party pa-
pers. He quotes from Gov. Wa1kercou-
cerniug Lawrence :
_“ ‘ Lawrence is the hot bed of all abol-
ition movemcnts in this l’.el'l‘lt-0l'_V. It is
the center established by the abolition
societies of tne east, and whilst there are
a. respectable number of people there, it. is
filled by a large number of me1'ceiiai'ies
who are paid by the abolition societies
to perpetuate and diffuse agitation
tliroiighout Kansas and prevent the peace-
ful settlement of this question. Having
failed in inducing their own so called To-
peka state. legislature to organize insur-
rection, Lawrence has commeiiccd it her-
self ; and if not arrested, rr.-bellioii will
extend tlir0ii_r.;hoiif.' the tci'z‘it.oi‘y.’ And
again : ‘ In order to semi this communi-
cation immcdi:it..ly by mail, I must close
assuring you that the spirit. of rebellion
prevndcs the great mass of the republi-
can party of this l'0l’1'lt0l‘_\‘, instigated, us

ern societies, lioviug in view results most

of Gen. Hurncy is indispeusiblc, as orig-
inally stipuluted by me, \_vit.h a large body
of t’ll'a.g()0l1S and several b:itterics."’
Quoting also from Gov. Robiusou’s
message of Dec. '7, an assertion that the
Topeka. constitution “ ni'igiuatc(l with the
people” he denounces that movement as
n nsurputioii, concluding :
“From this statement of liiéts, the rea-
son becomes palpable why the enemies of
the goverinieut; authorized by Congress,
have refused to vote for the delegates to
the Kansas coustitzutioual convention.
and also'aftei'wai'cls on the question of
slavery, submitted by the people. It is
because they have ever refused to sene-
tion or recognize any other constitution
than that framed at Topeka. Had the
whole Lecomptou costitution been sub-
mitted to the people, the adherents of
this 0l‘g‘0.lllZiltl0ll would doubtless have
voted against it, because, if successful,
they would then have removed the obsta-
cles out of the way of their own revolu-
tionary constitutiou. They would have
done this, not upon the cousideratioii of
the merits of the whole or purl‘. of the
Lecompton constitution, but simply be-
cause they have ever resisted the outlier-
ity of the government: authorized by Con-
gress, from which it emanated.”
“ Such being the uiifortuuate condition
of affairs in tei'i'itory, what was the right
as well as the duty of the law-abiding
people ‘I VVei'e they silently and patient-
ly to submit to the _'I‘opeku usurpation,
or to adopt the iiecessui‘y,nieusui'es to
establish a. constitution under the author
ity of the organic law of Congress.-
That this law recognized the right
of the people of the territory, with-
out an enabling act of Congress, to form
ii state constitution, is too clear for argu-
ment. For Congress ‘to leave the peo-
ple of the tei'ritoi‘y perfectly free, in from-
iug their constitution, to form and regu-
late their domestic iust.il.ntion in their own
way, subject only to the constitution of
the United State,’ and then to say that
they shall not be permitted to proceed
and frame the constitution in their own
way without express authority from Con-
gress, uppoars to be almost a contradic-
tion of terms. It would be much more
plausible to contend that C‘-ougress had
no power to pass such an enabling; act,
than to argue that the people of a territo-
ry might be kept out of tlie Union for on

Congress to permit; them to _L-xercise the
right of self-government. This would be
to adopt,not their own way, but the way
which Congress might prescribe. It is
impossible that any people could have
proceeded with more regularity in the for-
mation of a constitution than the peoplo
of Kansas have done.”

purpose. The act proving for the election
