BE EARNEST.
Be earnest in the calling,
Whatever it may be;
Time’s lands are ever falling
And will not wait for thee
With zeal and vigor labor,
A»d thou wilt sorely rise,
Oh, suffer not thy neighbor
To bear away the prize I
Bnt form thy purpose gravely—
Then quickly push along
And prosecute it bravely,
With a resolution strong.
Thou wilt be debated;
Bnt pressing flrmly on,
Find all at length completed—
Thine object fully wonl
Be earnest in devotion,
Old age is drawing near;
A bubble on Time’s ocean.
Thou soon will disappear!
In practice, and in spirit,
Hero worship thou the Lord;
And thou shalt then inherit
A rich and sure reward.

A FUNNY SPEECH.
The Wisconsin Legislature have for
mally considered a proposition to abolish
all laws for the collection of debts The
mover of the bill—Mr. Elmore—is a
great wag, as is evidenced by the follow
mg extract from his speech upon that
subject;
The speaker proceeded to review the
present system of collecting debts It
was all a humbug and a cheat, a matter
of technicalities and legal shuffling. Law
yers gave advice in order to obtain a fee
and encourage litigation. Judges made
blunders and mistakes. He bad little ex
perience in the law and that was rich
[Laughter.] He would give a history
of it. The speaker then related how he
had purchased a yoke of oxen about fif
teen yeara ago—paid fifty dollars for
them—a few days after, the son of the
man of whom he bought the oxen came
to him and said the oxen were his. He
insisted on having pay over again, and
commenced a suit before a justice. The
jury didn’t agree. Finally, through the
blunders, of the Bushwood Justice of the
Peace, the case went against him. Ho
appealed it to the Circuit Court in Mil
waukie. There I lost again and said to
my lawyer: “ I will give you ten dollars
to quote Pennsylvania law to Judge Mil
ler and have a new trial ordered.” [Great
laughter ] He took the ten dollars and
performed the duty.
.A new trial was then granted, and venue
changed to Walworth county. Judge Ir
win was then the’ Judge. Any man who
wanted to gain a case in his court bad
either to go hunting with him and let the
Judge claim all the game that was shot,
or else pat his dog. WeH, I patted the
dpg. [Laughter,] I fed the dog with
crackers. [Renewed laughter.] The case
was decided in iny favor. When I heard
the decision I thought to myself the
upg had followed me long enough—-I
gave him a kick—[laugh
°f the dog had naioly
subsided ere I heard the Judge say, “Mr.
Clerk, this judgment is set aside pud a
tnal granted.” [Great laughter.]—
Mr. Speaker, that kick cost toe $2OOl
[Convulsive laughter.! Ypu have no doubt
seen asuit in a Justice 1 ? Court in thecoun
fy. If here is time spent by jurors and
"fngers on, besides other costs, at lea<&
$5O, besides the ill feelings and disseri
sions caused by it. It is alia cheat. The
litigants had better set down and play a
game of odd sledge to decide the ease.
It would be more sure to settle the
disputes justly.'

Uqjor Jack Downing on ftohnaifbiL
We reproduce, fbrthe benefit of the
present day and generation, the following
letter on from the celebra
ted pen of Major Jack {Downing, ;
WASMnmntCtxT.Ju.lTa.ms.
My Kind and Dear Old Friend ; The
President’s message to Congress makes
crackling work here. Mr. Calhoun shows
his teeth like a lion. Mr. McDuffie is cool
as a oowoumber, though they say he’s got
a terrible tempest inside of him, that he’ll
let out before long. For my part i think
the President’s message is about right I
was Betting with the President in the east
room last night, chatting about one thing
and another, and the President says he,
Major Downing, have you read my mes
sage that I sent to Cohgresa to-day? I
told him I hadn’t. We|l, says he, I should
like to have you read and give me your
opinion upon it So be handed it to me
and 1 sot down and read it through-
And when I got through, now, says I,
General, 111 tell youjest whot I think of
this ere business. When I was a young,
ster, some of us Downingville boys used
togoaown to Sebago pond every spring
and hire out a month dr two carting logs
across the pond. And one time I and
cousin Ephraim and Joel, and Bill John
son, and two or three more of us, had each
a whopping great log tb; carry across the
pond. It was rather a windy day, and
the waves kept the logs bobbing up and
down considerably bad, so we agreed tb
bring ’em along side an 4 side, and lash ’em
together and drive some thole pins in the
outermost logs, and row fern over together.
We went along two or three miles pretty
well. And, by and by. Bill Jones Degun
to complain. He was Always an uneasy,
harumscaruin sort of a cap. Always
thought everybody x elae had an easier time
than he had, and, when he was a boy, al
ways used to be complaining that the other
boys had more better oiji their bread than
he had. Well, Bill was irowingon the lee
ward side, and he begun to fret and said
his side went the hardest, and he wouldn’t
giyb us any peace till obe of unchanged
sides with him.
Well, Sill hadn’t rowed but a little ways
9n the windward side before he begun to
fret again and declared thjat side went hard
er than ’tother, and he Wouldn’t touch to
row on that side any longer. We told him
he had his choice, and he shouldn’t keep
changing so. But he 'only fretted the
more, and begun to get ibad. At last he
declared if we didn't change with him In
five minutes, he'd cut the lashes, and take
bis log and paddle off albne. And before’
we had hardly time to trim round, he de
clared the five minutes ‘were up, and up
with hatchet and out the lashings, away
went Bill on his own leg, bobbing and
rolling about, and dancing like a monkey
to try to keep on the upper side. The
rest of us scrabbled to as Well as we could,
aud fastened pur logs together again,
though we had a tuff match for it, the wind
blew so hard. Bill had not gone but a lit
tle ways before his log begun to roll mote
and more, and by and by in he went,
splash, head and ears. He came up puf
fing and blowing, and tried to climb up bn
it, but the more he tried the more the log
rolled; and finding it would be gone goose
with him pretty soon if be stayed there,
he begun to sing out like n loon for ns to
come and take him. We asked him which
side he would row if we would take his log
into the raft again t 0, says Bill, I'll row
on either side, or both sides, if ybu want
me to, if you’ll only come and help me
before I sink. •
,smd the President, I hope you
didn t help the foolish rascal out till he got
a pretty good soaking. He got soaked
enough before we got him, rays I, for he
was jest ready to sink for the last time,
and our logs eamie pesky hear getting
scattered, and if they had,; we should have
all gone to the bottom And
now Gmeral, this is jest what I think: if
you let South Carolina put the lashings
you 11 see such a log rolling in this coun
try as you never see yet. The old Giner
a| started up an<| marched across the floor
like a boy; Says he, Major 'Downing she
wen t out the lashings while my name is
Andrew Jackson. Tell Sargent Joel to
have his sleep on their arm's
every night. I told him they should be
ready at a moment’s, warning
1 wish’you would give Cousin Epbraim
know why he don’t
wnto to me and let me-know how the
Legielator Is getting along.
I remain your loving friend,
Majoe Jack Downing.

REMARKS Of REYERDT JOHHSOIf,
I The following touching and impressive
remarioi before (he Supreme Court, wen
Bade by Hod. Reverdy Johnson on Than*
3*7 lest, at the close of an argument on
the Albany Bridge ease
May it please your Honors, indulge me
with a word or v two more before I oon*
ofatde. i
This may be the last time that the Coart
will sit ib peaoeftol judgment on a Consti
tution acknowledged and obeyed by all.—
God, In hia providence, and for our sins,
may, in biainscrutable wisdom, suffer the
folly and wickedness of this generation to
destroy the fairest, noblest fabric of con
stitutional freedom ever erected by man.
Its whole histoiy, from the moment of its
operation even to the present hour, bean
evidence of its unrivalled excellence.—
Our country, our whole country, has, from
the first, prospered under it, and because
o/if, with a rapidity, and in a manner,
before or sinoe unknown to nations. That
prosperity vindicates the wisdom and pa
triotism of its great and good founders.
Is this prosperity now to cease ? Is it
now to be dashed to the earth ? Are the
hopes of civilised man, the world over. '
now to be blasted ? Are we to become
the jest, the scorn, the detestation of the
people of the earth ? Is aU memory and
reverence for the great dead, who living
we admired and adored, to bo now forgot
ten r Ib all gratitude for the mighty, try
ing struggles, of our fathers now to end t
warnings, the parting warnings
of the peerless man of aU this world now
to be disregarded and despised? Is the
country of Washington, consecrated by
his valor, wisdom, and virtue to freedom
and jjeace, now to be converted into a wild
scene of disorder, fraternal strife, blood
forbid 7** ® e * ven m its mercy '
May it staythearm of the madman, ar
rest it ia mid-career before it strikes the
fttal parioidal blow. May it give time
for reason and patriotism, to resume their
sway ? May it remove the delusions of
the, misguided, strengthen the efforts of
the patriotic, impart heavenly fire to tho
eloquence of the faithful statesman j
silence, by the universal voice of the good
and true men of the nation, the utterings
of treason now tainting the air and shock*
ing the' ear. of patriotism, and the whin
mgs of imbecibility, now discouraging
and sickening the honest public heart!
May it, above all, re-kindle that fraternal
love which bound us by ties stronger, in- ,
finitely stronger, than any which mere
government can create, during the whole
of our Revolutionary, struggle, and has
since cheered ns on our pathway to the
power and renown which has made us,
until now, the wonder and admiration of
the world !
Bat if all shall fail us and ruin come;

What is lan ?—The mere elapse of
years is not life. To eat, and drink/and
sleep—to be exposed to darkness and the
light— to pace around the mill of habit,
and turn thought into an implement of
trade—this is not life. In all this but a
poor fraction of the conciousness of hu
manity is awakened, and the sanctities
still slumber which make it worth while
to be. Knowledge, truth, love, beauty,
goodness, faith, alone can give vitality to
the mechanism of existence. The laugh
of mirth that vibrates through the hearts
—the tears that freshens the dry wastes
within the music that brings childhood
