The beautiful verses subjoined were written by Mr. Josaph Brennan, one of the most gifted young Irishmen that ever plunged into so abortive a rev olution as was that of 1848 Come to me, darling, I'm lonely without thee, Day-time and night-time I'm dreamingabout thee, Night-time and day-time in dreams I behold thee, Unwelcome the waking that ceases to fold thee ; Come it me, darling, my sorrow to lighten, Come in thy beauty to bless and to brighten, Come in thy womanhood, meekly and lowly, Come in thy lovingness, queenly and holy. Swallows shall flit 'round the desolate ruin, Telling of spring and its joyous renewing And thoughts of thy love and its manifest treasure, Are circling my heart with the primrose of pleasure, Oh, spring of my spirit ! Oh, May of my bossom ; Shine out of soul till it burgeon and blossom ; The waste of my life has a rare root within it, And thy fondness alone to the sunlight can win it. INGRAINS, WOOL DUTCH, HEMP, • Figure which moves like a song through the oven Features lit up with a reflex of heaven, Eyes like the skies of sweet Erin our mother, Where sunshine and shadoware changingeach other; Smiles coming seldom, but childlike and simple, And opening their eyes from the heart of a dimple; Oh ! thanks to the Saviour that oven the seeming Is left to the exile to brighten his dreaming. Youhavebeea glad when you knew I was gladened ; Dear, are you sad to know I am saddened ? Our hearts ever answer in tune and in time, love, As octave to octave or rhyme unto rhyme, love, I cannot smile, but your cheeks will be glowing; Yon cannot weep, but my tears will be flowing; You will not linger when I shall have died, love ; And I could not lire without you by my side, love. Come to one, darling, ere I die of my sorrow ; Rise on my gloom like the sun of to-morrow; Strong, swift and true as the words which I speak, . . With a song at your lip and a smile on your cheek, love ; - Come, for my heart in your absence is dreary ; Haste, for my spirit is sickened and weary ; Come to my arms which alone shall caress thee, Come to the heart that is throbbing to press thee ; .#tele2-Ztilvt. JAMES A: BROWN. Under the Maples , THE STRANGE BEAUTY. "You remember Mrs. Laurens, Charley dear, she who was once Miss Walcott !" said the languid Mrs. Easton, resting back in her chair, and smoothing the gray curls from her fat face. "Well, what of her ? Is her husband dead ? Is she in the market again ? Of course, she is, I shall be delighted to mar ry her at sight ! In fact, my dear moth er, marry anybody to please you." and the 'There was an - undercmrent of sarcasm in the words which was not especially gra tifying to Mrs. Easton, but she allowed it to pass unnoticed, and replied : "Oh, no, her husband is alive, and they are both very happy. I was about to re mark that they will arrive here in a few days, bringing with them three lovely children--" "Ah ! anything else ?" interposed Char ley, turning partially around, and twisting his blonde mustache with an air of provo king nonchalance. "es—but you don't seem interested !" answered _his mother, taking her fan from her lap and using it vigorously. "Pray go on," said the young man, with assumed animation. "Perhaps there is a young lady in the case !" "Yes, there is !" assented Mrs. Easton, with all the enthusiasm of a professional match-maker. "And a beautiful creature she is too—for everybody says so ! I have not seen her since she was young, for you know the Walcotts have lived in Europe for the last nine years." "She is then a Walcott, I presume ?" "Yes, Mrs. Laurens' youngest sister.— She has been all the rage in Paris for the last two seasons, and has countless offers from the rich and titled, but has refused them all, and come home free and heart whole ! One week from Thursday she will be here, and—Charley dear, come and sit down on this ottoman—l want to talk to you." With a slight shrug of his shoulders the young man obeyed. "Now, my son, listen to me," said Mrs. Easton, stroking his hair with the top of her fan, "and don't, for pity's sake, inter rupt me with any of your dry wit ! Charley, it is not unknown to you that you are handsome ! Women like brain, it is true, but they are generally caught by beauty. Now I have no doubt you will like Delia Walcott very much, and if she likes you, why—" "There must be another match made, I suppose 1 Oh, bah !" exclaimed Charley, jumping up and shaking himself like a Newfoundland dog. "What an impatient boy you are ! I didn't say anything of the kind, did I ?" "No, but you would if I had given you time !" D. P. °WIN "Dear me, you are incorrigible ! I might indeed have referred to the fact that Delia's dowry will be somewhat near a hundred thousand dollars, and—and that our fortune, not large, is growing rapidly smaller. We must consider these things, my son, and—" "Be as mercenary as we are foolish !" interposed Charley with earnest contempt. "To be plain, mother, this sort of thing is played out ! A moment ago you indirectly said that my beauty would get me a wife, and implied that I was a fool—for any man is a fool who depends on his hair, mustache and cloth, to win woman's heart ! I have been an idler ! Why ? Because I was brought up to be. But it is all over. You have money enough to last you. I will pay my way from this hour, and Delia can marry a Frenchman or an Esquiteaux for aught I care !" "Charles Easton you are beside your self !" "Then insanity is sweet !" "Hold your tongue !" exclaimed the mother losing her patience. "I'll not lis ten to such folly ! Why, everybody would think that we were penniless, to see you at work ! And lam sure it would be the death of me. I never could bear the mor tification—never I" "Pshaw 1" said Charley, resistlessly.— "You talk like a duchess, instead of an American matron." And turning on his heel he hurried from the house. Since the moment that he had become of marriageable age, his mother had planned and connived to match him with some heiress, but had failed through his perverseness. Nearly every day in the week he had been obliged to listen to re proaches and lectures on this, his mother's hobby, and now he was intensely disgust ed. Mrs. Easton was not weak mentally, but idleness had rendered her a great bore. It is a noticeable fact that persons who have no regular employment for their minds usually grasp at things most shallow, and, to use a common phrase, run them straight into the ground. Charles Easton had the elements of man Come to Me, Darling -Oil By G. W. STANTON. HUNTINGDON, PA., AUGUST 21, 1872. hood in him, but he had never felt them until this hour. Now he was determined to see what they were good for. Proceeding at once to New York, he di rected his steps to a large mercantile house on Canal street, kept by one of his father's frienos. "Ah ! Easton my hot glad to see you," said Mr. Mervin, cordially. "Fresh from Maplewood and the delights of summer parties I suppose." "Parties be hanged 1 How is business ?" yawned Charley; removing his segar from his mouth, and leaning lazily against the desk. Mr. Mervin looked at him regretfully, and shook his head, muttering : "Not much like his father." "Did you speak ?", "I mumbled something, yes. The fact is, Easton, I'm annoyed. e lost my as sistant book-keeper, and I feel bad over it. He got into low society, and went down fast. I remonstrated in vain. Yesterday I was notified of a deficit of three hundred dollars. He confessed to the larceny, and I set hini adrift. I hadn't the heart to prosecute him. I wish—but never mind —it would be useless to talk to you " "It depends on what you talk about," answered Charley, carelessly. "Now the last race at Saratoga, or the sailing match at Newport would be interesting ; but clay books and ledgers—bah !" He knew very well that this would ren der his friend eloquent, as it had many times before, ever the benefit of labor. He was not in error. Mr. Mervin read him a long sermon on folly of idleness. and concluded by offering him the vacant sal ary of eighteen hundred dollars a year. "I'll take it with many thanks," said Charley, spiritedly. "Now you talk like a man—there's a drop of your father's blood in you some where, I guess !" answered Mr. Mervin, with evident pleasure. "You may begin to-morrow, and if you are not tired by night you let me know." "The feeling will be welcome. I have had enough of ennui," said Charley, earn estly. And in two or weeks as was very natur al, he bad enough of weariness; but he pursued his new line of conduct unfaulter ingly. He bad received two letters from his mother in the meantime, both filled with shallow regrets and superficial grief. The Walcotts had not visited her, aed she attributed her action to his having dis graced himself by becoming an employee. She hoped that he would think in solitude how much sorrow he had caused by his waywardness. These epistles, so full of dangerous soph istry had no effect upon the young man. He pitied his mother for her vapidity. "Easton, who is that girl I have seen you walking with on Broadway ?" queried Mr. Mervin, one day about a week later. "Well, I hardly know myself," answer ed the young man, looking up from the ledger. "I became acquainted with her in a very romantic sort of way. You see, she was standing on the sidewalk waiting for a stage, when I saw one of our well dreSsed pickpockets attempt to practice his art on her. I invited him out into the street—" "That means you kicked him out !" in terposed Mr. Mervin, laughing. "You may translate it as you like! Of course she thanked me, and I in return hailed a stage for her. Since then I have met her a few times at the military estab lishment, where she is employed, and walk ed as far as Union square with her—she would Inver let me go any farther. Her name I have not the slighest idea of, she has positively refused to give any. Now you know as much about her as I do." "Hump ! What do you think your mother would say to this acquaintance ?" asked Mr. Mervin. "She would condemn it, of course. But there is one I am confident of, that the girl is worthy of all respect. Her station in life I care nothing about." "There's more of the father showing itself," mused Mr. Mervin, approvingly, but made no reply, and there the subject was dropped. The next evening at six, Charles was once more on Broadway, waiting for the strange beauty in whom he felt a peculiar interest. But she did not come, and he was forced to acknowledge to himself that he was much disappointed. A week passed and he neither saw nor heard of her. Perhaps she was sick, and without proper care. The thought sad dened him, and yet could do nothing, for he was ignorant even of her name. "Easton, suppose you go up to Mrs. Laurens with me this evening ? She's an old friend of your family, I believe ?" said Mr. Mervin. "Laurens again I Can't I escape that family ?" thought Charles, irritably, but replied: "SO they are here! When did they re turn from Europe ?" "About two weeks ago, I believe. They have hardly been opt of the house, howev er, for everyone of the children has been sick. Mrs. Laurens is not the woman to leave her child to mercenary nurses, so she had to break many engagements, ono to your motheramong the number, if I mistake not." Charles nodded carelesely, and there the conversation terminated. At eight o'clock that evening, the two gentiemen were shown into Mrs. Laurens' elegant drawing room, and greeted by that lady with earnest cordiality. The won derful Delia was not present, and Chatles was very thankful, for he had become ut terly sick of the name, and had not the least desire to see the person. "I want you to look at my babies, Char ley," said Mrs. Laurens, in her earnest, graceful way. "They are asleep, else I would bring them down. But you will pardon the informality, I am sure." The young man inclined his head, and fol lowed his hostess to the nursery. Patiently, if not sympathetically, he listened to the mother's rhapsodies over her darlings, and when she had concluded, he muttered something about their being very beauti ful. Bachelors' comments on children are always so stupid ! As they turned to leave the room, a young girl entered, and paused abruptly, as she noted the presence of a stranger. Though the light was dim, Charles found but little difficulty in rec ognizing his unknown acquaintance. "My governess, Miss-, Mr. Easton," said Mrs. Laurens. "I congratulate yon on your good for tune," said Charley, in a low, sincere voice, as he held the maid's hand, an instant with in his own. She murmured her thanks, and moved toward the crib. "It is strange I can't get hold of that girl's name," thought Charley, as he re entered th drawing-room. "Mrs. Lau rens mumbled it as I never heard her mum ble before. Well, they are going to see mother next week, and then I'll find out. I won't go near the house to-morrow, for that lovely ogre, Delia, will be there." Five days later, and after he had receiv ed two letters from his mother, urging him to come home, Charley embarked on the noon train for Maplewood. When Kemp ton was reached—a station a few miles south of his native town—he went out on the platform to look around, and the first object that met his gaze was a neat little phaeton containinr , Mrs. Laurens' three children and the governess. With a smothered exclamation of delight, he leap ed off the car, walked around to the side of the depot and greeted his eccentric ac quaintance. Her eyes lighted as he spoke, and a soft flush mantled each cheek. "Your mother is expecting you home," she said. "You had better run back to the train. I'd ask you to ride to Maplewood with me, but I'm only a governess, andex cuss me—your mother is very proud." "Yes, but never mind that. Is Mrs. Laurens with you ? No ? Ah ? I'm so glad. I can talk with you a minute. Do you ride often this way ?" "Yes, the scenery is more beautiful than on any other road." "Then I'll stay here a few days, and ride out horseback every morning to meet you, provided, of course, that the suggestion -meets with your approbation. Excuse me, but I wish to know more of you—to be honest, I like you very much." "You flatter me ! I fear you have not well considered your proposition. It em bodies a double deception—you to your mother—l to Mrs. Lauhns." "And yet it is harmless. Ido not wish you to go home. You know Delia, of course ?" "Yes." "Well, I don't, and, what is more, I don't want to. I'd run away from her as I would from a bear, for the simple reason that two or three foolish persons have sug gested that we would make a good match. Bah ! How I hate such meddling ! Come, you will consent ?" "Yes," with a merry laugh and a toss of the stately head. Three days passed, and Mrs. Easton wondered why Charley did not come. And the governess wondered why she drove so much faster to reach Kempton every morn ing, and Charley wondered if his little friend cared enough fbr him to take ins name. He resolved to ascertain at once. So on the fourth morning, while riding along her side, he thrust a paper into her hand, on which were written these words : "My heart is yours. Will you be my wife ?"—He saw her face flush as she read it, saw her head bend lower, and her fingers more nervously on her reins. "Is it no or yes ?" he queried, in a deep anxious voice. "Yes," she murmured, and for an in stant raised her eyes to his ; answering glance was more eloquent than words. For a few moments they rode on in silence, both engrossed with thoughts new and sweet. At length it was time for the gov erness to return, and just after her lover bad parted-with her he remembered that he had forgotten to ask her name. It was provoking ! Was nan ever engaged to woman before, without knowing her name ? ' The next morning he was again on the road to meet his affianced, but, instead, he saw his mother and Mrs. Laurens in the family carriage, coming toward him rapid ly. He halted, and awaited their ap proach. Mrs. Easton's first word was a reproach the second a complaint, and the third a command to her son to turn about and accompany them to Maplewood. He obeyed gracefully and in silence. He saw neither• the governess nor Delia that day, but the next forenoon, while walking on the law he beheld Mrs. Laurens and the governess under the maples, the folmer with her arm around her oldest boy, and the latter clasping the hand of the young est, while the little girl sat on the green sward between them. He advanced slowly, with no more defi nite purpose than to look upon the face of the one he loved. "Ah ! good morning, Charley," said Mrs. Laurens, pleasantly. "This is my first opportunity. I am happy to intro duce you to my sister Delia." "What ! Delia Is it possible ?" Charley leaned against a tree in amaze ment and confusion. "Shall I release you Charley? the sweet voice asked. Never—never, my darling ! You are the governess of my heart, if not of your sister's children I" And thus, through the unintentional aid of Mr. Mervin and Mrs. Laurens, Mrs. Easton's wishes were accomplished, and she was rendered perfectly happy.

SCHAFFER. PHILADELPHIA, July 26th, 1872. [Evening Bulletin. Horace Greeley's Bargain , Pledges Given, to Restore the Late Rebels to Power—His.Aclnzinistration to be De voted to Their Interests. LOUISVILLE, Ky., August 9.—The fol lowing are Gen. Hodge's exact words at the Greeley meeting in Lexington, on the 2d ult. : "I have devoted a lifetime to the prin ciples of the Democratic party. I have grown gray in the advocacy of those prin ciples, and each year the conviction has grown deeper that its fundamental princi ples are the true foundation stones for this Government. I have seen upon the bat tle field thousands throw away their lives in defence of these principles. The graves of the gallant Southern dead who sleep upon every hill-side in the South, over whose graves the night winds sigh, are re minders to me of the love for these princi ples which still lingers in my heart. The second passage in Mr. Greeley's letter means that John C. Breckinridge and oth er chivalrous sons of the South shall be restored to their former positions of power and influence. Looking back upon the once shattered and fruitless hopes of the South, I now see that the equal rights and sovereignty of the States shall be restored, and my comrades of the lost cause have not died in vain. This will be a victory for that for which they fought. Mr. Greeley promised to do all he could to aid us when we get a majority in Congress. I object to Grant because he is a Republican • be cause he is a member of that party which waged successfully the contest against my brethren of the South, whose orators kept the fires burning that filled the Federal ranks with soldiers. I have beard it said by some that the Democratic party shall have no part with Mr. Greeley in the con quest ; but I feel that they will not be neglected. Not only will Greeley not for get who has helped- him to his position, but pledges—direct pledges—have been given us by him that we shall not be for gotten in case of success." Hodge is an elector for the State at large. Col. U. C. P. Breckenridge said at the same meeting : "Our part of this bargain is to give the Liberal Republicans our votes, in order to enable them to succeed in the undertaking. Their part of the bargin is to restore to power the now franchised sons of the South, to drive out of the temple these vandals and thieves, and to restore you, Democrats, to their positions. They are to give you, men of the South, those places which the men of the dominant party now hold. I don't care a picayune for Horace Greeley, or what he has said. He repre sents the dawn of a new era to us an era that will restore us to power. Will that not be victory enough for us ? It may be, in the words of a friend from Woodford, Blackburn, that "Greeley is purgatory, but Grant is hell." The election of Gree ley also means that the Federal soldiers, who now stand as a perpetual menace over the South, shall be removed. lam tired of seeing them here. They have no business here. This is not the place for them. I don't want to vote any longer under the shadow of bayonets. I want them out West, where they ought to be.— Times." An Appeal to Colored Voters BY FREDRICK DOUGLASS. WASHINGTON, Friday, Aug. 9, 1872 Colored Fellotc-Citizene In view of the insidious and dangerous advice and counsel of Mr. Sumner, I think it is my duty to set forth a few urgent rea sons why we, as a race and as fellow-citizens, all bound up in the,same interest, cannot and should not vote for Greeley and Brown, but that to a man, we should cast our whole weight into the scale for Grant and Wilson. First—We in the south have been liber ated from slavery by the direct agency of the Republican Party. Had Greeley been President instead of Lincoln, we would to day have been in a worse bondage under the Slave Republic of the Southern Con federate States than ever before. Greeley advocated this policy and did his best to establish the Republic of which slavery was to be the chief corner-stone. Second—Our first vote was cast as freed men for Grant in 1868. Have we been disappointed in the result of his Adminis tration? Previous to that period von had no vote. Now we have equal rights(or almost equal rights) with the white race. We can accumulate property as they do; we have the law's protection over us as they have; our marital relations respected; our wives and children are our own and not the property of others; we can testify in every Court; we have the right if we have the power to have our brethren elected to the Senate and Congress of the country; we are a power that is felt; we bold the balance:of power in America; no corrupt or vascillating man can be elected to the Presidential chair unless we consent to vote for him. Third—All this has occurred since '65. and chiefly since we cast our vote for Grant in '6B. Are we prepared to risk the aban donment of these great privileges and bles sings, and vote for a man who believes that any State may dissolve fron the Union when she sees fit, or pass such laws as may seem to her best? Are we prepared to vote fur the nominees of the Democratic Party, whose hearts never have changed toward us, who kept us in slavery as long as they had the.power, and who if they had the power again would (to say the least of it) do their very utmost to restrict our liber- ' ties and oppress us as of old. Mr. Sumner may deceive himself; he cannot deceive us; or, to use the language of the gentleman, Mr. James IL Doolittle, Chairman of the Convention which nominated Mr. Greeley, one of the objects of the nomination being the "overthrow of the negro supremacy." And forsooth, what is this supremacy they so much wish to overthrow? It is simply the cancellation of those ordinary priv ileges and blessings, enumerated in clause second. We have no supremacy, and never expect to have, nor intend to . try for. $39,819 97 Fourth—ln conclusion : Bo not deceiv ed !! With Grant, our security is unques tionable; our happiness will be made lasting. With Greeley, we would enter upon a sea of trouble—an unknown and anxious future. Unscrupulous advisers would be his friends. Our old foes would surround him, as they even do now • and even if a few stanch friends should endeav or to stem the coming troubles, they would be swept away with the torrent, and the great work of the Republican Party prove an abortion. It cannot be that wo will send one vote out of our entire midst to help bring about such dire results, and I pray God that, when the time comes, every man of our race will be found true to the cause of human rights to all. puffing for the. illiori. Leap-Year Felicities "Eli Perkins" has undergone matrimo nial proposals at the hands of one of his lady friends, and he has this to say about it First I called upon my liquid-eye bru nette friend, Miss Sallie Morris, of Madi son Avenue. Now I've spent a good deal of money on Miss Sallie for operas, bou quets, Delmonico lunches, etc. I've been tryino. c for two years to win her affections. Last night, full of love and hope, I rang old Morris' door-bell. In a moment Miss Sallie was by myself on the retired sofa. After speaking of the coming opera I felt her velvety hands touch mine. "Do you know, Mr. Perkins," she said; looking me straight in the face, "that to day is our proposing day ?" "Well, I suppose so," I remarked, look ing modestly down at her mosaic bracelet. "Well, you know, Eli, my dear Eli, that I have been out with you a good deal." "Yes," I replied beginning to feel em• barrassed. "You know, my dear," she said, taking both of my bands, "that it is costing me a good deal for dresses and gloves, and"— "And costing me a good deal for car riages, bouquets and Delmonico lunches," I interrupted, with increased embarrass ment. "And while I have enjoyed myself all winter going with you, Eli" "In "In expensive carriages to the Academy and Delmonieo's," I suggested. "Yes, while I have been happy to go there with you—l feel—l feel—Oh my dear Eli, I don't know how to say what I want to !" and then the beautiful child hid her face in my bosom. "Do not fear my answer, beautiful one," 1: said, soothingly. "What is it that weighs upon your sorrowful heart." "Oh ! Eli, it is love," she said, sobbing wildly, and twisting hr jewelled fingers in my auburn hair. "Heaven be praised," I sighed, as I felt the beating of her heart against my vest. "For whom is this love, darling? I asked; "for you know I am deeply in terested in you." "You will not be mad with me, Eli ? "No, sweet one. I shall be only too happy," I said, wiping the tears from my eyes. "Well my dear—my long-cherished friend, I love"— "Who dear Sallie—who do you love ?" "Well, Eli, I love Charley Brown, to whom I am engaged;" and then the scald ing tears fell thick and fast on my shirt bosom. "Well, Sallie, what have you to say to me?" I asked, hesitatingly, as I loosened her hands from my neck. ' Why, my dear Eli, Charley and fath er thought that I had better see you, and propose"— "Oh, darling one, I am thine !" I said, with great emotion; "take me as I am; take"— "But, Eli, let me explain. They wan ted me to see you and thank gbu for your many kindnesses, and propose that you don't come here any more !" GOOD SENSE.-It will preserve us from censoriousness; it will lead us to distin guish circumstances; keep us from looking after visionary perfection, and make us see things in their proper light. It will lead us to study dispositions, peculiarities, ac commodations; to weigh consequences; to determine what to observe and what to pass by ; when to be immovable, andwhen to yield. It will produce good manners, keep us from taking freedoms, and hand ling things roughly; will never agitate claims of superiority, but teach us to sub mit ourselves one to another. Good sense will lead persons to regard their own duties rather than to recommend those of others. THE pleasures of the world are deceit ful; they promise more than they give. They trouble us is seeking them. They do not satisfy us when possessing them, and they make us despair in losing them. There is a touch of pathos about doing even the simplest thing "for the last time." It is not alone kissing the lips of the dead that gives you such a strange pain. You feel when you look your last upon some scene which you have loved—when you. stand in some quiet city street, where you know that you will never stand again, unless indeed, you come back, some day, to the "old haunts," and wander among them an unwelcome guest. The actor playing his part for the last time, that singer whose voice is cracked hopelessly, and who after this once will never stand again before the esa of upturned faces disputing the plaudits with fresher voices and fairer forms, the minister who has preached his last sermon— these all know the hidden bitterness of the two words "never again." How they chine to us on birth-days, as we grow older. Never again young—always nearer and nearer to the very last—the end which is universal, the "last thing" which follow all the other last things, and turn them, let us hope, from pains to joys. We put away our boyish toys, with an old headache. We are too old to walk any longer on our stilts —too tall to play marbles on the sidewalks. Yet there was a pang when we thought we had played with our merry mates for the last time, and life's serious grown-up was waiting for us. Now we do not want the lost toys back. Life has other and large: playthings for us. May it not be these, too, shall seem in the light of some far off day as the boyish games seem to our manhood, and we shall learn that death is but the opening of a gate into the new kn.! of promise 1' Is Our Moon Inhabited ? The question is naturally suggested whether our moon, which is but 250,000 miles from us, ought not to be examined for signs of life, or, at least, of being fitted for the support of life. When the tele scope was first invented, it is certain that astronomers were more hopeful of recog nizing such signs in the moon than in any other celestial body. As telescopes of greater and greater power were constructed our satellite was searched with a more and more eager scrutiny. And many a long year elapsed before astronomers would ac cept the conclusion that the moon's surface is wholly unfitted for the support of any of those forms of life with which we are fa miliar upon the earth. They know that if our satellite has an atmosphere at all, that atmosphere must be so limited in extent that no creature we are acquainted with could live in it. They know she has no oceans, seas, rivers, or lakes, neither clouds nor rains, and that if she had, there would be no winds to waft moisture from place to place, or to cause the clouds to drop fatness from the lunar fields. They know, also, that the moon's surface is subjected alternately to a cold far more intense than that which binds our artic regions in ever lasting frost, and to a heat compared with. which the fierce noon of tropical day is as the freshness of a spring morning. They search only over the lunar disc for the signs of volcanic action, feeling well assured that no traces of the existence of living crea tures will ever be detected in that desolate orb. FRED'K DOUGLASS. Herewith we give a list of a few un questioned rights of men, merely as a va riation upon the "rightsof women," which have been more fully discussed. The list, it may be mentioned, is net exhaustive : To fight; to work at the plow, the sledge hammer, the bellows, the anvil, to cut down trees, to dig canals, construct rail roads, make steam-vessels, cast cannon, create cities, climb to the top of the mast when the seas roll and the wind blows; to furl the sail that saves the lives of forty female passengers ; to chuck coal in the furnace; to feed the fire that heats the water that makes the steam that urges the ship that bears the husband that lovesthe wife to the house that love built in the city that men built; to stand in the piti less storm at night, and guard the slum bers of a town; or in the front of battle, brave the assault that would overwhelm ballot and bonnet, and lifeand liberty; or, when the fierce flames lick the chamber, to mount through its terrors to save a woman who has fainted with her child clinging to her bosom ; and not to getthe nicest parts of a turkey or a chicken or anything else, if a woman is by and wants them. Give me the man of energy ! The man who stirs about and keeps things alive about him. The man who is at his post by time in the morning prepared for busi ness, and willing to toil and meet the diffi culties that arise in his path during the day. He who is energetic is always found enterprising, and if he cannot find one thing to do he can another; he does not wait Micawber-like, for something to turn up, but creates something, and whatever may be his defects or short-comings in other respects, energy and enterprise will cover them all, and be will be respected and ap preciated by the community in which he lives. On the other band take away the indo lent, dilatory, trifling man, who spends the best part of the day in bed, and then repair to his business not fully aroused, spends part of his day perusing the papers and loitering around, then starts out to transact business, and returns in an hour exhausted. Procrastination is his bane and a continual putting off, which, when the day closes, ends in nothing being ac complished. Idleness is the root of all evil, and has done more to ruin the human family than any other vice. De not be above you/ business. He who turns up his nose at. work, quarrels with his bread and butter. He is a poor smith who is afraid of his own sparks; there's some discomforts in all trades ex cept chimney sweeping. If sailors gave up goinc , to sea because of the wet; if bakers left off baking because it is not work ; if ploughmen would not plough because of the cold, and tailors would not make our clothes for fear of pricking their fingers, what a pass we should come to ! Non sense ! my fine fellow ! there's no shame about any honest calling, don't be afraid of soiling your hands; there's plenty of soap to be had. All trades are good to traders. Lucifer matches pay well if you sell enough of them. You cannot get honey if you are frightened at bees, nor plant corn if you are afraid of getting mud on your boots.— When bars of iron melt under the south wind, when you can dig the fields with toothpicks; blow ships along with fans-; manure the crops with lavender water, and grow plumcakes in flower-pots, then will be a fine time for dandies; but until the Millenium comes we shall all have a deal to put up with.
