NOT without its word for us
Stands the martyrs' story ;
Singing mid the cruel fires,
Passed they up to glory.
Welcome was the shameful cross,
Welcome spears and scourges '
Shouts of joy their parting words,
Psalms instead of dirges.
Fearless towards the martyrs' crown
Pressed their high ambition ;
Pangs of earth were bitter buos,
Heaven their sure fruition.

THE TWO CHAIRS.
IN the hurry of life, a crimson plush chair
and a yelloW 'kitchen chair happened to get
side by, side. Plush chair turned red, and
proudly rolled herself back. " She did not
wish to be seen in such company," she said.
"What would the accomplished pianos and
the elegant marble top tables think of it ?"
" Ain't you both of the same origin ?" asked
a poker 'bluntly. "However that may be,
our positions lire very flifferent now. I move
only in polished society," replied plush chair
angrily. And are of very little use, I dare
say'," muttered the poker. " Use " cried
plush " use I that is the last thing I
think of." " More's the pity," said the hon
est poker ; "it is a dreary thing to live above
Kitchen chair heard the. talk, but thought
it was not for her to speak. The sight of
her grand neighbor filled her with no jealousy.
,She thought her very beautiful, and was
pleased to see the race improve so. She
was clumsy, she knew ; but she Could afford
to be clumsy, since slie had nothing to do
but be useful. They soon parted, and each
went its own way.
Plush chair was ushered into a stately
parlor, and received with admiration. There
were many words about where it should
stand, and at last the most conspicuous place
was assigned it. At a large party that eve
ning, distinguished visitors were brought to
it, and among the fashion and blaze, plush
chair JIM, no reason to be ashamed. "This is

shut, and not a speck of sun was allowed to
enter. The furniture was covered, and no
pleasant family voices broke the terrible
stillness. An occasional caller now and then
stepped stiffly in, and as stiffly out, leaving it
darker, chillier, and drearier than before.
Plush chair tried to think it was all• very fine
to be sitting up there in such a state. "It
,is genteel," it kept saying, " and if it's only
genteel, why--"
But 1 am sure it had its secret thoughts;
for after all, it is dreadful to grow old with
out any family tie ; to feel that you are add
ing nothing to the stock of daily comfort in
the world ; to know that the weary, the sick,
and the sorrowing never sink into your arms
for rest and soothing ; to know, too, that you
are 'valued chiefly on the risky merit of being
in fashion, and so might grow old, and be
cast off long before your time. Poor plush
had a dreary life of it, you may depend. and
often, thought it should die of doing nothing.
I do not know whether it ever cast a thought
on the yellow kitchen chair ; bu£ whether it
did or not, kitchen chair had a little history
of its own.
Its home was in old father Goodhue's
great farm kitchen, by the south window,
where the sunbeams play bo-peep with the
white honeysuckle. Besides father Goodhue,
there were young Mr. and Mrs. Goodhue,
and their eight children. It lived right in
the midst of the family stir. It could hear
the churn dash, and the tea-kettle sizzle, and
the cheerful clatter of knives and forks, be
sides all the cheerful fireside talk. As you
may suppose, it had its arms full most of the
time. Farmer Goodhue dropped into it after
the heavy toil of the day, and held the baby,
or read his paper. His excellent wife leaned
against its broad back when she came from
roan n t or te!tmstcr rested
" Who can go through: the world, doing the
world's Work, without some: hard knocks ?"
it said, good humoredly.
Good father groodbue, too, knelt beside it
at his morning and evening devotions, and
it often trembled beneath the warm fervor of
his prayers. And when little Sally faded,
never was there a sweeter and sadder sight
than to see her, day after day, bolstered up
in its strong arms, under the summer shadows
of the old crab-apple tree. " Mother," she
said, "I shall not see it blow next year."
She was looking up, but not at the crab-apple
tree, for little Sally's eye caught the blue
heavens beyond, and she said lidw, " I shall
be there with God, mother." Her poor mo
ther answered nothing, for there was a chok
ing in her throat. When the shadows leng
thened on the grass that afternoon, her father
made as though he .would carry his little one
in. "Lean me back only, father—mother."
They gently did so. A lock of love shined
in her face ; a few gasps, and Sally stepped
from the old family chair up to heaven.
4 , This dear, dear chair," they all said af
terwards ; and there were ever woven in its
history the tender memories of little Sally.—

CHEERFULNESS.
IT occurred to me, the last time I read
those charming verses in-which Wordsworth
laments in unequalled pathos and simplicity
the death of "Lucy," that her subtle grace
of nature might have been that sunniness of
temper which we call cheerfulness.
Who has not observed the peculiar effect
produced in a household by the continual in
fluence of this quality in one of its members;
bow it seemed to rise upon it like sunshine
in the world, filling all the shady places
with brightness ? It is not only beauty and
gladness in itself, but it is the cause of beau
ty and gladness in others. Dispelling clouds
and gloom, it opens the horizon with its
" seven-listed colors" of hope ; music comes
in the train; graces are called forth in others
like buds and blossoms in the natural world,
and the sweet fruits of goodness are ripened.
It reveals the strait path which is so narrow
and sometimes difficult, and which often lies
unsuspected in its course under the clouds
of temper, selfishnese, and discontent. It
brightens the rugged path of ditty, and lends
wings to the weary who Walk therein, sad
and faint-hearted, borne down by the,length
and difficulties of the way:

MR. BRIGHT'S GREAT SPEECH-lig-DE
FENDS AND UPHOLDS THE NOR.H•
MESSRS. SCHOLEFIELD and BRlGHll.4ad
dressed their, constituents in the Tolvnaall,
Birmingham, on the 17th ult.
Mr. Brigitt, who was received with. ' ro
longed applause, spoke of the Lanca ire
distress, attributing the good order o ' , the
operatives to the instrumentality of a lin
taxed press. The Hon. gentleman thetpro
needed as follows :---I should like to state in
this hall that which I once stated to .04
eminent American gentleman who ask 'd
to give him some idea of the course' of ,pub-
lie opinion in this country from the -first
moment we' heard of the secession of tlikaa
ton- producing. States. I endeavored to :trace
it in this way. I told him that, so far.(ts I
could see, nobody thought the South had any
just cause, for-break-ing up the integrity of a
great nation. Now, I appeal to you Titicamr
that was not the case, and whether persons
were not reef y o aim.% that the South 4as
ruled by a Government mild and in no degree
oppressive. It was a Government, it is true,
which some among us loved and some di s-
liked. '' f",
It was not a costly monarchy; . it was not
an aristocrcy creating and living on patron
age ; it did not support a very burdensome
foreign policy ; it had no great army, no
great navy, no suffering millions to be dis
contented and. overthrown—Charges all of
which have been brought against Govern
ments in thi's country and throughout Europe
a hundred times over. [Loud` cheers.] There
fore it was said very generally here, when
the intelligence of the secession of the South
reached us, why should these men revolt?
At the moment at which that revolt took
place the Government at Washington ap
peared to be paralyzed ; it had no army, it
had no navy, and it was by many thought
that the North would, under the circumstan
ces, acquiesce in the rending of the Republic
asunder.; it was told, indeed, by certain pub
lic writers in this country that the contest
was entirely hopeless, and, a similar view of
it was lately taken by no less a personage
than the Chancellor of the Exchequer. I
am, however ' happy to say that, , although
the Cnancellors of the Exeheqner can often
decide to a penny what shill - be the rate of
taxation in England, they Mind determine
what is to be the fate of a whole continent.
(Cheers.) •
..It was at the outset, as I before observed,
that contest was hopeless, and it was asked
only under those circumstances, should it be
continued by the North' at. the cost of so
much blood and treasure, and to:the disturb
ance of the commerce of the whole world.
Well, in answer to that question, I would
say if we are to contititutel4urselves the
of forei n nations we
we ourselves think it right , to be governe..
My honorablefriend referred to the case g
the Trent, and bread in the papers that you
had a meeting in this hall last year, in which
the conduct of our Government in making a
great.manifestation of force against America
in that case was duly applauded ; and that at
least one minister of religion - upon-that occa
sion• took that view.
Now lam not in the least complaining
that it should be so.; but if you thought the
act of an American• captain who, not.under
instructions from his. Government, took two
men from an English, merchant vessel, usti
fied you in going to. ;war with the United
States, then I say you ought not to scan too
narrowly the course which the North pur
sued under circumstances much more diffi
cult than those in which you were then
placed. (Cheers.) Take, again, the case
of the Rock of Gibraltar - some of you
have, I dare say, bean" there. 1, at all
events, have ; and the things which most in
terested me were the monkeys on the top of
it—(laughter)—except perhaps those whom
I.found there, and they were a good many,
living on the English taxes (A laugh.)
Well, the Rock of Gibraltar was acquired
by this country when she was not actually
at war with Spain, and kept in defiance of
every principle of honor and morality.. (A
voice—No, no.") I have no doubt the gen
tleman who cries "No, no," is better ac
quainted with the history of the transaction
than I am; but. I would suggest that we
have, perhaps, read two different histories of
it. (Laughter.) Well, suppose Spain were
to equip an expedition for the purpose of re
taking that fortress, which - is not of !the
slightest advantage to any Englishmanliving,
teuttriratt Vrtobttritatt a i; titteott (t)rattltuot
except those who hold appointments on it,
would not our Government, Lwould ask, do
everything in its poWei to resist such an at,
tempt ?.
You lnow that it would, notwithstanding
that the possession of the fortress only tends,
as I heard distinguished officers of the Gov
ernment say, to embitter relations between
the two countries, and notwithstanding that
if such aman as my friend Mr. Cobden, for
instance, were commissioned to cede it to
Spain, we might hope for the establishment
with that country of a commerical treaty ad
mitting'Engligh'produce to her ports; at a
duty of not more than ten per cent. But, be
that as it raay, I cannot help thinking that
if our Government would resist, as you know
they would, , an expedition fitted out by Spain
against , Gibraltar, the course taken by the
Northern States can scarcely be viewed by
you with, surprise.
After the Southern leaderamet at Mont
gomery on the 6th of March and authorized
the raising of 100,000 men, and subsequently
attacked Fort Sumter, which was not; mind;
a fort of Carolina but a fort of the,Union l
was not, I.would ask, Mr. Lincoln under,those
circumstances justified, in accordance with
those principles on Tihich . Englishmen and
the .English Government all over the world
act, in , calling out 75,000 men, which was the
first calf made for, the_ purpose of 'maintain
", le_intnerity Union to
• main *Deject ne nut taKen an oatla to meet
at his election. (Cheers).
But I will not enter, into a long argument
on this question, and for this reason, that I
believe it is not in the hands of my honorable
friend, nor ofLord Palinerston, nor Presidcnt
Lincoln, but in the hands of that Supreme
Ruler who is bringing about one of those
great events in history. - 'Which men will not
often regard when passing before them, but
which they look on with astonishment after
they have taken place. (Hear, hear.) Nei
ther will I discuss the question whether this
war is prosecuted >i of the Constitu
tion or for the' abolition of slavery ; if, how
.ever, we came to the point of sympathy with
the South, or recognition of her; or mediation,
or intervention, we should consider what is
her aim. The United States Government is
on terms of amity with our own. It , is re
presented in London by a Minister—a man
whose name, as you know,is highly honored
in America, his, father and grandfather hav
ingheld the office of President , of the Re
public.
Our Minister has only just returned to
Washington, and that being so, are you, let
me ask, because you may, cavil at certain
`things at home being done in the United
States; to throw the influence of your opinion
into the scale in favor of a movement the ob
ject of which is to dismember that great 'Re
public beyond the Atlantic? Is there a man
here who doubts for a moment that the aim
of the South in this contest is to maintain
and perpetuate the bondage of four millions
of human beings ? (Cheers). Yes, her ob
ject is to secure that handful of white men
on that continent shall lord it over millions
of men made black by the very hand Oat
made us white. (Cheers).
Her object is to retain the power to' breed
negroes, to lash `negroes, to chain them, to
buy and sell negroes, to deny them the en
joyment of the commonest family ties, to
break their hearti by rending them at their

u, c creation, for in accordance
with their , laws it is a penal act to learn a
negro to read. (Hear, hear). I wish teknow,
then, whether this is to be made the founda
tion'as is promised, of a new slave empire;;
whether it is intended that on this audacious
infernal basis a new alliance for England is
to be built up ? (Cheers.)
It has been said that Greece was recogni
zed by this country, but not until -She had
fought Turkey for six years, nor did France
recognize the United Statesuf America un
til. five or six years after the War of Inde
pendence ; and I want to know- who they are
who speak in favor of England becoming so
earatly the ally of this great conspiracy

Itli , ould be absurd to ref Use to hold.political

bilt in: the case of the South we have' a new
State which purposes to set itself upon the
Idols of slavery, and of which slavery is said
so.be the chief corner stone.
14tave heard; indeed, that there are Min

thhere are members of the aristocracy
wire terrified at the shadow of the great
Refiblic at the other side of the Atlantic;
that there are rich men whose views of this
question are based altogether upon their sel
fiali,interest; and that there are conductors
of: the public press who ; would barter the
rights of, millions of -their. fellow-creatures
that they might bask in the smiles of the
great.. ,pit I know that'there are Ministers
of State who do not wish that this insurrec
,
tion should break up the American Union ;
that- there- are members of out'aristocrany

lic; that there are many rich men who, are

Who wilt not barter human rights for the

before all, I am sure that in .Lancashire,
where the working-men have .seen themselves
going down from prosperity to ruin, from
independenee to subsistence upon charity,
the unenfranchised but not hopeless millions
oflis country- will never sympathise with a
rerAt which is intended to destroy the lib
erty of a continent and to build on its ruins
a mighty fahria of human bondage.
.
I hear it 'said the republic is too powerful,
and that it issbetter for us, or rather for the
governing class and the governing policy of
England, that,it should be broken up. But
suppose we were in New York or Washing
ton, discussing the case of England instead
of that of America, and some one were to

" Our only child, about three years of age, was at

spread until they formed aloathsorne arid virulentsore,
which covered his-face . and actually blinded his eyes
for some days. A skilful physician' applied nitrate
of silveland other remedies, without any apparent
effect. For fifteen days we guarded his hands, lest
with them he should tear open the festering and eor
rapt wound which covered his whola'face. Riving
tried every thing else we had any hope from, we began
giving your SARSAPABILIA, and applying the iodide of
potash lotion,. as you direct. The sore began-to heal
when we had; iven the firstbottle, andtwas well when
we had finished the second. The child's gelashes,
