THE SICE MAN’S HEED OE LOVE. He was a poor cripple—with fingers twisted out of all useful shape, and lower limbs paralyzed so that he had to drag them after him wearily when he moved through their locomotion—a poor, unhappy murmuring, and at times ill-natured.nrip ple, eating the bread which a mothers hard labor procured for him. Eor hours every fair day during spring, summer, aud autumn, he might be seen in front of the house v here he lived, leaning upon the cate, or sitting on an old bench, looking with a sober face at’ the romping village children, or dreamingly regarding the passengers who moved with such strong limbs up and down the street. Hdw often bitter envy'stung the poor cripple’s heart! How often, as the thoughtless village children taunted him cruelly with his would he fling harsh unled ct ois after them Many pitied the poor cripple: many looked upon him with feelings; of disgust and repulsion; but few, if any, sought to'do him good. Not far from where tbe cripple lived was a man, who had been bed-ridden lor yeais and wa like, ly to remain so to the end ot his days. He was supported by the patient indu try oi a wife “ If good works were to be the only passport to heaven,” he said to a neighbor one day, "my chances would be small.” “ ‘ Well done, good and faithful servant/ is a part of the language of welcome,” was replied; and this neighbor looked at the sick man in a way that made him feel a little uncomfortable. •‘I am sick and bed-ridden —what can I do?” he spoke fretfully. “ When little is given, little is required. But if there be only a single talent it. musk' be im proved.” , *’ “ I have no talent,” said the invalid. “ Are you sure of that ? ” “What can I do? Look at me ! ’No health— no strength—no power to rise from this bed.' A poor, helpless creature, burdehing my wife. Bet ter for me, and for all, if I were in my grave.” “If that were so, you would be in your grave. But God knows best. There is something for you to do, or you would be no longer permitted to live,” said the neighbor. The sick man snook his head. “As I name along just now," continued the neighbor, “I stopped to say a word to poor Tom Hicks, the cripple, as he stood swinging on the gate before his mother’s house, looking so unhap py that I pitied him in my heart. ‘ What do you do with yourself all through these long days, Tom V I asked. ‘Nothing/ he replied, moodily. “‘Don’t you read sometimes?' I queried. ‘Can’t read/ was his sullen answer. ‘Were you never at school?’ I went on. ‘No, how can I get to school V ‘ Why don’t your mother teach you ?’ ‘ Because she can’t read herself/ replied Tom. ‘lt isn’t too late to begin now/ said I encouragingly; 1 suppose I were to find some one willing to teach you, what would you say?’ The poor lad’s face brightened as if the sunshine had fallen upon it; and he answered, ‘1 would say that nothing could please me better.’ I promised to find him a teach er, and as I promised, the thought of you, friend Croft, came into my mind. Now here is something that you can do; a good Work in which you can employ your one talent." The sick man did not respond warmly to this proposition. He had been for so long a mere re cipient of good offices—had so long feit himself the objeot toward which pity and service-must tend—that he had nearly lost the relish for good deeds. Idle dependence had made him selfish. “ Give this poor cripple a lesson every day,” went on the neighbor, pressing home the subject, “and talk and read to him. Take him in charge as one of God’s children, who needs to be instruct ed and led up to a higher life than the one he is living. Is not this a good.and a great work? it is my friend one that God has brought to your hand, and in the doing of which there will be great reward. What can you do? Much! Think of that poor boy’s weary life, and.of the sadder years that lie still before him. What will become of him when his mother dies? The almshouse alone will open its doors for the helpless one. But who can tell what resources may open before him if stimulated by thought? Take him, then, and unlock the doors of a mind that now sits in darkness, that sunlight may come in. To you, it' will give a few hours of pleasant work each day. To him it will be a life-long . benefit; Will you; doit?” ■ " . “Yes.” The sick man could not say “No," though in uttering that half-extorted assent he manifested no warm interest in the case of poor Tom Hicks. On the, next day the cripple.came to the,sick man and received his first lesson: and every day, at an appointed hour, he was seen at Mr. Orbft’s room, eager for the instruction he received. Quick ly he mastered the alphabet, and as quickly learned to construct very small words preparatory to com bining them in a reading leraohV After the first three or four days the sick 1 mail' who had under taken this work with reluctance, began to find his heart going down into it. Tom was. grateful, and the neighbor Who had suggested ’this useful employ ment or the in Valid’s'tithe looked in .now aqd then to see how matters were progressing, and to speak words of encouragement. Poor Tom was seen less frequently than before hanging on the’gte'oh sSftihg idiy .bif thie bench before hi? mother’s-diveliing, and when you did find Win there‘as of old, you saw a different ex pression on his face.sl As. soon as Tomeouldread, the children in the neighborhood, who had grown to, like him, always gathered around him at the gate when they hap pened to find him there, supplied him with books so that -he had an abundance of mental food, and now began to repay his benefactor, the bed-ridden man, by reading to him for hours every day! There was spojething about Him that strongly attracted the boys of the neighborhood, and ‘he usually had three or four of them around him, and often a dozen, in the afternoon, when the schools were out. There was no nonsense; low, sensfia! talk, to wljibh boys are sometimes addict ed, found no encouragement in his presence. His influence,over these boys was therefore of the best kind. , The parents of some of these children when j they found their sons going so often to the bouse of Tom Hicks, felt doubts as to the safety of such intimate intercourse. The report of these boys took their parents by surprise; but, on investiga tion, it proved to be true, and Tom’s character soon rose in. the public estimation. The cripple’s eagerness to learn, and rapid progress under limited advantages, becoming ge nerally known, a gentleman, whose son had been one of Tom’s visitors, and-who had grown to be a better boy under his influence, offered to scad him in his wagon every day to the school-house, which stood half a mile distant, and have him brought back in the afternoon. It was the happiest day in Tom’s life when he was helped down from the wagon and went hob bling into the school-room. Before leaving home that morning, he' had made his way up to the sick-room of Mr. Croft. “I owe it all to you,” he said, as he brought the wfyite, thin hand of his benefactor to his lips. It was damp with more than a kiss when he laid it back gently on the bed. “ And our Father in heaven will reward you.” The advantages of a school being placed within the reach of Tom Hicks, he gave up every thought of serious difficulty. His bent, stiff fingers could not be made to hold either pen or pencil in the right position, or to nse them in such a way as to make intelligible signs. But Tom was too much in earnest to give up on the first, or second, or third effort. He found, after a great many trials, that he could hold a pencil more firmly than at first, and guide his hand in some obedience to his 'will. 1 This was sufficient to encourage him in long-continued efforts, the result of which was a gradual yielding of the rigid muscles, which be came in time so flexible that he could make quite passable figures, and write a fair hand. This did not satisfy him, however. He wan ambitious to do better; and so kept on trying and trying, un til few boys in the school could give a fairer copy. “ Have you heard the news?” said a neighbor to Mr. Croft, the poor bed-ridden man. It was five years from the day he gave the poor .cripple, Tom Hicks, his first lesson. “What news?” the sick man asked, in a feeble voice, not even turning his head towards the speaker. Life’s pulses were running very low. The strong struggle with disease was nearly over. “Tom Hicks has received the appointment of teacher to our public school.” “Are you in earnest?” There was a mingling of surprise and doubt in the low tones that crept out upon the air. “Yes, it is true what I say. You know that after Mr. Wilson died, the directors got Tom, : who was a favorite with all the scholars, to keep the school together for a few weeks until a suc cessor could be appointed. He managed so well, kept such good order, and showed himself so ca pable as an instructor, that, at the election to-day, he received a large majority of votes over a num ber of highly recommonded teachers, and this without his having made application for the situ ation, or even dreaming of such a thing.” At this moment the cripple’s well-known shuf fling tread and the rattle of crutches was heard upon the stairs. He came up with more, than his usual hurry. Croft turned with an effort, Bo as to get a sight at him as he entered the room, “ L have heard the good news,” he said, as he reaohed a hand feebly toward Tom, “and it has made my heart glad.” “T owe it all to you,” replied the cripple, in a voice that trembled with feeling. “ God will re ward you.” And he caught the shadowy arm, touched it with his lips and wet. it with grateful tears, as onoe before. Even as he held that thin, white hand, the low moving pute took a lower beat— lower and 16wer —until the long suffering heart grew still and the freed spirit went up to its re ward-. ' ' - “My benefactor!” sobbed the cripple as be stood by the wasted form shrouded in grave-clothes, and looked upon it for the last time ere the coffin-lid closed over it. “What would I have been except for you?” MRS. SIGOURNEY’S EXPERIENCE WITH HOUSE SERVANTS. . It has been my good fortune to have employed several, who were faithful in their serv.ice, aud reciprocated every expression of kindness. This alleviated, on their part, any sense of hardship, and made their exertions a pleasure. I great ly valued every evidence of their attachment, and though the complexion of some of them had a darker shade, they were to me as'my own flesh and blood. Indeed, those of the latter description have seemed to me inclined to put more heart into their work, and therefore to call more forth in return. Twenty-five years was I served by such an one, to whom oar interests were her own, who delighted to see our guests, exulted in our joys, and in our bereavements sympathized. Differ ence,of color was no barrier to friendship, and since her death, the desire of being served from personal regard still remains with me, a search, — perhaps an illusion. I should like to speak of another, whose face and 'form are among 1 my earliest recollections. She was not of the African race, but a specimen of the honest New England character, and a na tive of'beautiful 'Norwich, my own birthplace. She must have been in full prime when I first re member her and her attentions to my childhood. An adept was she in the culinary art, in neat ness, the spirit of, order, and the care, oyer every article that appertained to her dominion. Of the virtues that belonged to the sphere of ' unassuming industry, she was a model. Possessed of good capacities, truthful, and not lightly given to change, the hearts of those whom she served might safely trust in her. The integrity and punctuality which were essentials in the training of the'olden time, were inherent in her character, and from their habitual practice no temptation caused her to swerve. She had a deep respect for knowledge, and employed her intervals of lei sure in the perusal of useful books. Whatever she undertook was well and thoroughly done, and the interests of those under whose roof she dwelt were her own. Great kindness of heart had she for the sick and sorrowful, and spared no pains either in nights of watching, or, other offices of aid, to relieve them, according to her ability. She had a abuse of propriety, ’and.a wisdom of speech, for she was not given, to much talking, which won the respect of all who knew her. When age, drew over, her, having been for years the faithful assistant of beloved friends of mine, her place was in the chimney corner of their spa cious and nicely furnished kitchen, ahd her occupa tion to superintend their other servants. Their re liance on her was entire, and never They could leave home without anxiety j knowing that their wishes woold be carried out as perfect ly as in their presence, and that her example to the younger ones would be consistent and' saluta ry. By economical expenditure, and carefully laying aside the surplus of her wages, she was. enabled-to participate in the charities of the day, and to show an untiring liberality to such of her kindred as needed aid.

Ilad the Union, thus established in 1787, been a Confederacy, it might have been argued, with more or less plausibility, that the States which peaceably aocbded to it, might at pleasure peaceably secede from it. It is none the less true that such a proceed ing would have stamped the members of the conven tion—Washington, Madison, Jay, Hamilton, and their colleagues—with utter incompetence; for nothing can he historically more certain than that their object was to extricate us from the anarchy to which that prin ciple had brought us. „ . ‘'However gross a heresy it may he (say the Federal isfcs rccofiHHtfoding ths new Constitution) to muintuin. that a party to a compact has a right to revoke that campact, the doctrine has had respectable advocates. Hke poxsibiUty of such a question shows the necessity of laying the foundation of our national government deeper than in the mere sanction of delegated nutho ffcy The fabric of American empire ought to rest on the solid basis of the consent of the people.” Certainly, the most venerated expounders of the Constitution—Jay, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent, Story, Webster —were of opinion that the intention of the Convention to establish a permanent consolidated government, a single commonwealth, had been com pletely successful. ■ . ■ > “The great and fundamental defect of the Con federation of 1781 (says Chancellor Kent) which led to its eventual overthrow, was that, in imitation of all former confederacies, it carried the decrees of the Federal council to the States in their sovereign capa city. The great and incurable defect of ali former Federal governments, such aB the Amphybtionic, Actteon, and Lycian Confederacies, and the_ Ger manic, Helvetic, Hanseatic, and Dutch Republics, is that they were sovereignties over sovereignties. The Arse effort to relieve the people of the country from this state of national degradation and ruin came from Virginia. The General Convention afterwards met at Philadelphia in May, 1787. The plan was sub mitted to a Convention of Delegates ohosqn by the people at large in each State, for assent and ratifica tion. Such a measure was laying the foundations of the fabric of our national policy where alone they, ought to be laid—on the broad consent of the people." (1 Kent, 225.) It is true that the consent of the people was given iby the inhabitants voting in each State; but in what other conceivable way could the people of the whole country have voted? "They assembled in the seve ral States,” says Story: "but where else could they assemble?” SECESSION A RETURN TO CHAOS. Secession is, in brief, the return to chaos from which we emergeA three-quarters of a century since. No logi cal sequence can be more perfect. If one State has a right to secede to-day, asserting what it calls its sovereignty, another may, and probably will, do the same to-morrow, a third on the next day, and so on, until there are none left to secede from. Granted the premises that each State may peaceably secede from , the Union, it follows, that a county may peaceably secede from a State, and a town from a county, until there is nothing left but a horde of individuals all seceding from each Other. The theory that the peo ple of a whole country, in their aggregate capacity, are supreme, is intelligible; and it has been a fact also, in America, for seventy years. But it is impos sible to show, if the people of a State be sovereign, that the people of a county, or a village, and the in dividuals of the village, are not equally sovereign, and justified in “resuming their sovereignty" when their interest or their caprice seems to impel them. The process of disintegration brings back'the com munity to barbarism, precisely as its converse has built up commonwealths—whether empires, king doms, or republics—out of original barbarism. Established authority, whatever the theory of its origin, is a fact. It should never be lightly or ca priciously overturned. They who venture on the at tempt should weigh well the responsibility that is upon them. Above all, they must expect to be ar raigned for their deeds before the tribunal of, the civilized world and of future ages—a court, of last appeal, the code of which is based on the Divine principles of .right and reason, which are dispas sionate and eternal. No man, on either side of the Atlantic, with Anglo-Saxon blood in his veiDS, will dispute the right of ; a people, or of any portion of a people, to rise against oppression, to demand redress of grievances, and in case of denial of justice, to take up arms to vindicate the sacred principle of liberty. Few Englishmen or Americans Will deny that the source of government is the consent Of the governed, or that every nation' has the right to govern itself according to its will. When the silent consent is changed to fierce remonstrance, the revolution is im pending. REBELLION NOT REVOLUTION. The right of revolution is indisputable. It is writ ten on the whole record of our race. British and American history is made up of rebellion and revo lution. Many of the crowned kings were rebels or usurpers. Hampden, Pym, and Oliver Cromwell, Washington, Adams, and Jefferson—all were rebels. It is no word of reproach. But these men all knew the work they had set themselves to do. They never called their rebellion “peaceable secession.” They, were sustained by the consciousness of right when they overthrew established authority, but they meant to overthrow it. They meant rebellion, civil war, bloodshed, infinite suffering for themselves and their whole generation, for they accounted them welcome substitutes for insulted liberty and violated right. There can be nothing plainer, then, than the Ame rican right of revolution. But, then it should be called revolution. “ Secession, as a revolutionary right,” said Daniel Webster in the Senate, nearly thirty years ago, in words that now sound prophetic, "is intelligible. Ab a right to be proclaimed in the midst of civil commotions, and asserted at the head Of aimies, I can understand it. But as a practical right existing under the Constitution, and in conformity with its provisions, it seems to be nothing but an absurdity; for it supposes resistance to government under the authority of governmfent itself; it supposes dismemberment without violating the principles of Union; it supposes opposition to law without crime; it supposes the violation of oatha without responsi bility; it supposes the total overthrow of govern ment without revolution." the founders of the commonwealth. The men who had conducted the American peo ple throngh a long and fearful revolution were the founders of the new commonwealth which perma nently superseded the subverted authority of the crown. They placed the foundations on the un biassed, untrammelled consent of the people. They were sick of leagues of petty sovereignties, of go vernments which could not govern a single-indi vidual. The framers of the Constitution; which has now endured three-quarters of a century, and under -which the nation has made a material and intel lectual progress never surpassed in history, were not such triflers as to be ; ignorant of the consequences of their own acts. The Constitution which they offered, and which the people adopted as its own, talked not of sovereign'States—spoke not the word confederacy In the very preamble to the instrument are inserted ; the vital words which show its character, “We; the people of the United States; to ensure a more perfect union, and to secure the blessings of liberty for our selves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution.” Sic volo, sic jubed. It is the language of a sovereign solemnly speaking to the world. It is the promulgation of a great law, the'nor-mo agendi of a new commonwealth. It is no compact. “A compact,?’ says Blackstone, “is a protnise pro ceeding from us., Law is a command directed to us. The language of a compact is, We' will .or will not do this; that of a law is; Thou shalt or shall not do it. (1 B. 38, 44, 45.) THE LANGUAGE OF THE CONSTITUTION. And this is, throughout, the language of the Con stitution. Congress snail do this; the President shall do that; the States shall not exercise this or that power. Witness, for example, the important clauses by which the ‘sovereign’ States are shorn of all the great attributes of sovereignty: no State Bhall coin money, ncr remit bills of credit, nor pass ex post facto laws, nor laws impairing the obligations of contracts, nor maintain armies and navies, nor grant letters of marque, nor make compacts with other States, nor ; bold intercourse with foreign powers, nor grant ti tles of nobility: and that most significant phrase— " This Constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof, shall be the supreme law of the land.” Could language be more imperial? Could the claim to State “sovereignty” be more completely dis posed of at a word? How eari<that be sovereign, ac knowledging no superior, supreme, which has volun tarily accepted a supreme law from something which it acknowledges as superior? The Constitution is perpetual, not provisional or temporary. It is made for all times —“ for ourselves and our posterity.” It is absolute within its sphere. “This Constitution shall be the supreme law of the land, anything in the Constitution or laws of a State ! to the contrary notwithstanding.” Of what value, * then, is a law of a State declaring its connexion with ■ the Union dissolved ? The Constitution remains su yields the Constitution and laws to armed rebellion without a straggle. He knows nothing of States. Within the sphere of the United States Government he deals with individuals only, citizens of the great Republic, in whatever portion of it they may happen to live. He has no choice but to enforce the laws of the Republic wherever they may be resisted. When he is overpowered the Government Ceases to exist. The Union is gone, and Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Ohio are as much separated from eaeh other as they are from Georgia or Louisiana. Anarchy baß returned upon us. The dismemberment of the com monwealth is complete. We are again in the chaos of 1785; WHY THE CONSTITUTION DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR SECES- But, it is sometimes asked, why the Constitution did not make a special provision against the right, of secession. How could it do so? The people cre ated a Constitution over the whole land, with certain defined, accurately enumerated powers, and among these were all the chief attributes of sovereign ty. It was forbidden to a State to coin money, to keep ar mies and navies, to make compacts with other States, to hold intercourse with foreign nations; to oppose the authority of the Government. To do any one of these.things is to secede—for it would be physically impossible to do any one of them without secession. It would have been puerile for the Constitution to Bay formally to each State, “Thou shalt not secede.” The Constitution; being the supreme law; being per petual, and having expressly forbidden to the State those acts without which secession is an impossibility, mould have been Anting in dignity had it used such sub perfitious phraseology. This Constitution is puprente, whatever laws a! State may enact, says the organic law. Was it netessary to add, “and no State shall enact a law of secession?” To add to a great statute,, in which the sovereign authority of the land declares its will,-a phrase such as “and be it further enacted that the said law shall not be violated," would scarcely seem to! strengthen the statute. It was accordingly enacted that new States might be admitted ; but ho permission was given for a State to secede. PROVISIONS FOR AMENDMENT. Provisions were made for the amendment of the Constitution from time to time, and it was intended that these provisions should be stringent. A two thirds vote in both Houses of Congress, qnd a ratifi cation in three-quarters of the whole number of; States, are conditions only to be complied with in grave emergencies. But the Constitution made fio provi sion tor itfiowndissolutioih and, if it,had dope so, it would have been a proceeding quite without example in history. A constitution can only be subverted by revolution or by foreign conquest of the land. The revolution may W the result of S successful rebel lion. A peaceful revolution is alsq ’conceivable in the case of the United States.. The same power which established the Constitution may justly destroy it. The people of the whole land may . meet, by de legates, in a grertt national convention', as they did in 1787, and declare that the Constitution no longer answers the for which it was ordained; that, it can no longer secure the blessings of liberty for the people in present and future generations' and that it is therefore forever abolished. When that project has been submitted again to the people voting in their primary assemblies, not influenced by fraud or for.ee, the revolution is lawfully accomplished, and the Union is no more. WHAT IS REBELLION? Such a proceeding is Conceivable, although at tended with innumerable difficulties and dangers. But these are not so great as those of the civil war into which the action of the seceded States has plunged the country. 1 The division of the national domain and other property, the navigation and police of the great riters, the arrangement andfortification of frontiers, the transit of the Isthmus, the mouth of' the Mississippi, theeontrol of the Gulf of Mexico; these are significant phrases which have an appalling sound; for there is not one of them that does not contain the seeds of war. In any separation, however accom plished, these difficulties must be dealt with, but there would seem less hope of arriving at a peaceful settle ment of theni now that the action of the seceding States has beeri'so precipitate and lawless. For a single State, one after another, to resume those func tions of sovereignty which it had unconditionally ab dicated when its’people ratified the Constitution of 1787, to seize forts, arsenals, custom houses, post of fices, mints, and other valuable property of the Union, paid for by the treasure of the Union, was not the exercise of a legal function, but it was rebellion, treason and plunder/ THE UNION CLOTHED WITH IMPERIAL ATTRIBUTES. It is strangefhat Englishmen should find difficulty in understanding that the United States government is a nation among the nations of the earth ; a consti tuted authority,'which may be overthrown by vio lence, as may be the fate of any State, whether king dom or republic; but which is false to the people if it docs not its best to preserve them from the horrors of anarchy, even at the cost of blood. The “United States” happens to be a plural title, but the’com monwealth thus designated’is a unit, “e pliiribus unum.” The Union alone is clothed with imperial at tributes; the Union alone is recognized in the family of nations; the Union alone holds the purse arid the vdord; .regulates foreign intercourse, imposes taxes on foreign commerce, makes war and concludes peace. The armies, the navies, the fiiilitia belong to the Union alone, and the President is Commander-in-chief of all. No State can keep troops or fleets. What man in the civilized world has not heard of the United States? Wha( mkn in England can tell the names of all the individual'States? And yet. with hardly a superftcial'eiaminatioo of : our history andour Con stitution, men talk, glibly about a confederacy, a com pact, a co-partnership, and the rightsof a State to se cede at pleasure, not knowing that by admitting such loose phraseology, and such . imaginary rights, we should; violate the,first principles of our political or ganization, shojild fly in thefape of our. history, should; trample under foot the teachings of Jay, Hamilton, Washington, Marshall, Madison, Dane, Kent, Story and Webster, and accepting only the dogmas of Mr. Calhoun as infSllibie, surrender forever our national laws and our national existence. A PARALLEL, Englishmen themselves Jive in a united empire; but it the kingdom of Scotland should secede, should seize all the. national property, forts, arsenals,, and public treasure on its soil, organize an army, send, forth foreign ministers to Louis Napoleon, the Empe ror of Austria and other Powers, issue invitations to all the pirates of the world to prey upon English com merce, screening their piracy from punishment by the banner of Scotland, and should announce its in tention of planting that flag upon Buckingham Pa lace, it is probable thata blow or two would be struck to defend the national honor and the national’ ex istence, without fear that the civil war would bp de niiufieed as' wicked and: fratricidal. Yet it would be difficult to.show that the State of Florida, for example, a Spapish province,' purchased for national purposes some forty years ago by the United States Govern ment for several millions, and fortified and furnished with navy yards for national uses at a national ex pense of many more millions, arid numberiiig at this moment a population of only 80,000 white men, should be riaore entitled to resume its'original sovereignty than the ancient kingdom of William the Lion and Robert Bruce. ■ The terms of the treaty between England and Scot land' Were perpetual,’ and so is.the Constitution of the United States. The United Empire may be destroyed by revolution and war, and so may the United States; but a'peaceful and legal dismemberment, without the consent of the 'majority of the Whole, peo ple, is an impdsmbiUty. ; THE AMERICAN.REVOLUTION, _ But it is sometimes said that the American Repub lic originated in secession frbm the mother country, and that it is unreasonable of the Union to resist the seceding movement, oh the part of the new Confede racy; But it so happens that the one case suggests the other ODlyi by the association of contrast'.' 'The thirteen colonies did not intend to secede from the British empire. They were forced into'secession by a course of policy on the part of the mother country, such as no English administration ait the present 'day can be imagined capable of adopting. Those Eng lishmen in America were loyal to the Crown ; but they exercised the right which cis-Atlantic or trans- Atlantic Englishmen have always exercised, of re sistance to arbitrary government. Taxed without being represented, and insulted by measures taken to enforce-the odious but not' exorbitant imposts, they did not secede, nor declare their independence. On the contrary, they made every effort to' avert such a conclusion. In the words of the “forest-born De mosthenes”—as Lord Byron called the great Virgi nian, Patrick Henry—the Americans “ petitioned; remonstrated, .cast themselves at the foot of the throne,. and implored tys interposition to arrest,the tyrannical hands of the ministers and Parliament. But their petitions were slighted, their remonstrances procured only additional violence’and,insult, as they were spurned 'with contempt from, the foot of the throne.’’ The “Boston massacre,” the Boston port bill, the Boston “ tea-party,” the battle of Lexington, the bat tle of Bunker’s Hill, were events which long preceded the famous Declaration of Independence. It was not till the colonicß felt that redress for grievances was impossible that they took the irrevocable step, and renounced their allegiance to the Crown. The revo lution had come at hist, they had been forced into it, but they knew that it was revolution, and that they were acting at the peril of their lives. “We must.be unanimous in this business,” said. Hancock; “we must all hang together.” “Yes,” replied Franklin, “or else we shall all hang separately.” The risk incurred by tbo colonists, was enormous, .. r . “*•' - but the injury to the mother country was compara tively slight. They went out into darkness and dan ger themselves, but the British empire waß not thrown into anarchy and chaos by their secession. THE CAUSE OF THE SOUTHERN REBELLION. Thus their course was the reverse of that adopted by the South. The prompt secession of seven States because of the constitutional election of a President over the candidates voted Tor by their people was the redress in advance of grievances which they may, reasonably or unreasonably have expected, but which had not yet occurred. There is the highest autho rity of the Vice President of the Southern “Confede racy,” who declared a week after 1 the election of Mr. Lincoln that the election was not a cause for seces sion, and that there was no certainty that he would have either the power or the inclination to invade the constitutional rights of the South. In the free States it was held that the resolutions of the conven tion by which Mr. Lincoln was nominated, were scru pulously and conscientiously framed to protect all those constitutional rights. The question of' slavery in the territories, of the future extension of slavery, was one which had always been an open question, and on which issue was now joined. But it was no question at all that slavery l within a State was sa cred from all interference by the general government, or by the free States, or, by-individuals in those States; and the Chicago Convention strenuously as serted that doctrine TO BE CONTINUED.

Worms are a prolific source of sickness in, children. They are seldom free from them, and by their irritation all other diseases are aggravated. Convulsions, as well as St. Vitus’ Dance, have been superinduced by them, and death has resulted in extreme cases. Whenever the symptoms are observed, such as disturbed sleep, grinding of the teeth, itching of the nose, weakness of the bowels, slow fever, variable appetite and fetid breath, JAYNE’S TONIC YEEMIFUGE should be resorted to, without delay. It is entirely harmless, is readily taken by children, effectually de stroys worms, and by its tonic action invigorates the whole system. It is. prepared only by Da. D. Jayne & Sou, 242 Chestnut St., Philadelphia. COUGHS, COLES. CONSUMPTION, Asthma, Bronchitis, &c. JAYNE’S EXPECTORANT •' been for thirty years the Standard Bemtdy. Will he admitted that no better evidence of the great urative powers of this EXPECTORANT can be offered than the grateful testimony of those who have" been re stored to health by its use, and the wide-spread popu larity which, for so long a period, it has maintained in the face of all competition, anil which has created a con stantly increased demand for it in all parts of the world; As far as possible, this evidence is laid before the public from time (o time, until the most skeptical will ac knowledge that for all pulmonary complaints, it is truly an invaluable remedy. RECENT COUGHS AND COLDS*. PLEURITIC PAINS, Ac., are quickly and effectually cured by its dia phoretic, soothing and expectorant power. ASTHM Ait always cures. It overcomes the spasmo dic contraction of the air vessels, and by producing free expectoration,at once remoyesaU difficulty of breathing. - BRONCHITIS readily yields to the Expectorant. It subdues the inflammation which extends through the wind tubes, produces free expectoration, and suppresses at once the cough and pain. CONSUMPTION,—For this insidious and fatal disease, no remedy on earth has ever been found so effectual. It subdues the inflammation,—relieves the cough and pain,—removes the difficulty of breathing and produces an easy expectoration, Whereby all irritating and ob-' structing matters are removed from the lungs. WHOOPING COUGH is promptly relieved by this Ex pectorant. It shortens the. duration of the disease one half, and greatly mitigates the suffering of the patient. In all PULMONARY COMPLAINTS, in CROUP, PLEURISY, &e.yit will be found to be prompt, safe, pleasant and reliable, and may be especially commended, to Ministers, Teachers and Singers, for the relief of Hoarseness, and for strengthening the organs of the voice. Bead the Following Statement: REV. RUFUS BABCOCK, D. D., Secretary of the American and Foreign Bible Society, writes:— “ Having given Dr. D. Jayne’s medicines a trial in my own family, and some of them personally, Ido not hesi- Isite to commend them as a valuable addition to our materia medica. The EXPECTORANT especially I con sider of inestimable value, and I know that it is highly esteemed, and frequently prescribed by some of the mo it respectable of the regular practitioners of medicine.’’ Rev. B. V. R. James, Missionary in Liberia of the Pres. Board of Foreign Missions, writes:— “ Your EXPECTORANT has been administered with the most happy results, and I feel assured I never used an article of medicine that produced a more sure and certain relief for the complaints for which it is recom mended.” ■ Rev. John Dowling, D. D., Pastor of the Berean Bap tist Church, N. Y-, writes:— “I have long known the virtues of your EXPECTO RANT, and frequently tested them on myself and family, when afflicted with coughs or coins. I believe it to.be nne of the best remedies ever discovered for these mala dies.” . Rev. N. M. Jones, Rector of Church of St. Bartholo mew, (Prot. Epis.,) Philada., writes:— “In all eases resembling Consumption, I recommend your EXPECTORANT, having in so many cases wit nessed its beneficial effects.” Rev. J. J. Walsh, Missionary of the Presbyterian Board at'Fultegurh, Northern India, writes:— “ Your EXPECTORANT was the means, under Provi detice, of curing a case of incipient consumption, which had been pronounced incurable by competent medical men.” Rev. Jonathan Going, D. 8., while President of Granville‘college, Ohio, wrote:— “ While laboring under a severe Cold, Cough, and Hoarseness, nay difficulty of breathing became so great that I: felt in imminent danger of suffocation, hut was perfectly cured on using Dr. D. Jayne’s EXPECTO RANT.” Miss Mary Ball, of the Protestant Episcopal Mission, Cape Palmas, West Africa, says:— “ In our mission families your medicines are a general specific, and among the sick poor they enabled me to do much good. Your EXPECTORANT has proved of great value in the case of Rev. Jacob Rambo, and in that also of Rev. Mr. Green, two of our missionaries.” ev. C. L. Fishes, formerly pastor of the Dell Prai rie Wis. Baptist Church, writes:— « A little daughter of mine, aged seven years, had been afflicted for some time with Asthma and Palpita tion of the heart, and having tried various remedies without relief. I was persuaded to get your EXPEC TORANT and SANATIVE PILLS, and after using them she was restored to a good degree of health. 13 REV. SAMUEL S. DAY, Missionary of the Baptist Board, at Nellore, India, w: ites “Bythe use of your Expectorant my Cough and Sore Throat are now well. I find, occasionally, an un- Sleasant sensation in my throat, as if mucus had lodged ,erc, but your Expectorant usually relieves it by two or three applications.” REV. J. R. COFFMAN, of Winfield, Tuscarawas co., Ohio, writes: — “ One bottle of Jayne’s Expectorant, cured my daughter of Lung Fever, after having been beyond the hope of recovery.: During the attack she had a number of convulsions. She is now perfectly well.” This, Expectorant, and all of Jayne’s Family Medi cines, are prepared only by Dr. D. JAYNE & SON, 242 Chestnut street, and may be had of agents throughout the country. DISEASES OF THE SKIM. THOUGH THE remote or primary causes of SKIN DISEASE may be various, as IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD, LIVER COMPLAINT, SCROFULA, &e., &c., yet the immediate cause is always the same, and that is an obstruction in the pores of the . skin, by ,which the perspiration, in its passage from the body, is arrested and confined in and under the. skin, causing .an intolerable, itching, br an eruption of Pimples, Pustules, Ringworm, Tetter, Ssut Rheum, &c., Ac.
