P. AKNODD;
Last evening, at about a quarter past eight
o'clock, the well-known Dr. Robert M. Graham,
was shot in an affray witlt Mr. Ernest Tolcda
no. Probably there has occurred in this city,
for the last ten years, no event that has created
so much sensation, or excited so much com
ment.
Dr. Graham was unfortunate in beingover
come; now and then with a craving, a morbid
longing for liquor ; anti when under ihoinfluence
of lids stimulus, he, otherwise calm, quiet, cour
teous, a thorough gentleman in demeanor and
appearance, became obstinate, hot-headed, quar
relsome. dangerous. His superior education
and skill as u physician, tine intelligence, plea
sant manner, handsome dignified person, and
highly respectable and influential connections
here made him very popular; and: his grevious
weakness was borne with for his many good
qualities, and the esteem had for' his, family.-
It was often predicted to him, however, by his
own friends, that be would die by Violence,' or,
as one of them told him, “ Graham, mark me,
you will die in your bools and in the gutter.”
The prediction has been verified to the letter.
Dr. Graham's name is known throughout the
United States, from his killing Mr. Loring, in
New York, when intoxicated, from bis trial,
condemnation, imprisonment, pardon and re
lease. Ilis reappearance in his old haunts hero
created a singular sensation. I never shall for
get the first time I met h|m. after his retprn
fiom his .northern prison. He stood in front of
a drugstore ihat for. many,years was at the
corner of St. Charles and Common streets, and
in which he had an interest. It was n gather
ing place for many street loungers and politi
cians.'- He had been seen there year after year;
when he went to New York, and While in pri
son, his portly Game was much missed; it, was
not known that he was going to come back, and
I was fairly startled, when, on turning the cor
ner one morning,T saw hihi in his old place,' in
bis usual easy attitude, looking Just the same,
cigar in mouth and small cane in band—only
a deathly pallor had replaced the usual healthy 1
color of his face. The New York scene of blood
flashed over me; I averted my head, passed bn.
The same impression was.no doubt produced
on the community generally, and (or a long
time this pallid-face man was as a strangor in
the community where he had lived so long,
where there had been so many to giyo him a
cordial grasp of the band. He seemed prepared
for this : had no debut made up his mind to it,
and perhaps bad a secret, defying pleasure.in
staying in his old haunts and attending, with
silent pride, to the duties of his profession. _
Gradually a change of feeling came over the
mass of our citizens in regard to the man ;, we
are a warmhearted, sympathetic people, if wq
ire hot-headed ; and the reserved, unobtru
sive course pursued by Doctor Graham, his at
‘ tention to his-profession, his avoidance-of his
' former weakness, after a while induced^apy
' to forget what bad passed, apd the doctor, ye
gained much of his old social acquaintance apd
a large share of. professional patronage.
But the morbid craving for stimulus. though
• once quenched in blood, could not be cured, d
came back after a while, and it became known
that Doctor Graham had occasional relapses m
to bis old habit of intoxication. Still he con
, trived-not to let this be seen about the streets.
• and through the .influence of , his family and
friends, he was a year ago elected, by the Amer
, * «•
piration of the term, by the election of a Doctor

under the impression that Mr. Ernest loledano,

THE WEE HIT BIRDEE.
There was a little maiden
Walked at her lather’s side,
All through the daisied meadows
In the cool eventide.
He called her his wee bit blrdee,
For, as they went along,
To him her chatter sounded ,
Moro sweet than any song.
And the blinking stars, ; and the stillness,
And the amberswimming West,
Filled with wondor and feeling
The wee bit birdie’s breast.
And she prattled a hundred , fancies,
Child like, quaint and fair—
She longed to be the thistle-down,
And sail the evening air j
And, watch, from the midway ether
The deep green earth grow dim;
Then follow the sinking sun, to break
In some brightening East with him. -
Or, in an ancient forest
To live as a Fario Queen, -
And be served by a myriad sportive sprites
, In silver suit and sheen;
And the never-failing flowers itp wear
That grow by the Fairio tvclis,
And over the Fairio lakes to glide, ■
To the chiming of unseen hells.
And to speak, and a palace fine should stand
Where the wood-grass whistled wild,
Porphyry arches, and carvon pearl, ,
Over crystal pillars piled.
Once again he'tvalltod the meadows,
in the gloaming’s golden grey,
But not thewee hit hitdie canto
. That daisy-whitened way.
For wo suffer a will wo do not ken,
And the kind mysterious Powers
Had changed those child-like dreams to fact,
In a higher sense than ours.
And her pulsing stream of soul liad.run
To its muin-liko home .afar,
Beyond tho light of the farthest sun
And the highest-hanging star.;
.And purer blooms (ho. wee bird wore
Titan in Faiile-world e’er blew,
And a brighter than Fairio crown she boro,
• And a tweeter life she knew.
SHADOW AND, SUNSHINE.
My heart, my heart'is sad and weary— :
Very sad and weary now ;
Shadows fulling on my pathway;
Shadows on my aching brow;
Shadows gathering on tho bosom,
Throbbing now with anguish wild.
Shadows ever while thou’rt absent,
From nib, thus, my darling child.
As in dream even now I see thee, '
Wttli fairy grace before mo glide;
And now face thee sweetly smiling,
Sadly smiling by my side —'■ ,
Now I see thy soft eyes, darling,

ty, had procured • his defeat. It was known
that he had expressed himself openly, for some
days past, in violent terms, against Toledauo,
cursing him and avowing his purpose to.shoot
him at sight. These expressions and this re
solve were uttered while Dr. Graham was under
the influence of liquor, which, it appears, he bad
been since Thursday last, so much so as to be
generally noticed.
Last night, the Chief of Police, Mii. Adnras,
who is related to Graham in some way,\sawhim
at the Ruby Coffee-house on Common street—a
popular resort —and noticed that he was in li
quor. He felt a presentiment something was
going lo happen, should Graham remain in that
condition in so public a place; he went up to
him and told him he must go home; if be crea
ted any disturbance he would arrest him .and
lock him up for the night. - Graham insisted
that be was not intoxicated, but promised toga
home soon. Mr. Adams left him to meet some
police officers at his own private office, promi
sing himself to return to the Ruby and gel Gra-,
ham Sway and take him home. A few mo-,
ments after he was called out and told that Dr.
Graham had just been shot dead. .
Ernest Toledano was a college mate of mine.
I shall simply say of him, however, that he is a
member of one of our oldest add most, respected
Creole.families; and though somewhat wild, the
young man has never been accused of anything
mean or dishonorable. Ills own statement of
ibis sad affair, as I heard froth him in the
lock-up,’’-(and where his manner was com
posed, though his voice now-and then was a
little choked.) was to this eilcct:
Up to within a fortnight ago, he and Dr. :
Graham were on the most courteous terms. He
then noticed a change in Graham’s manner,
which became cold, and finally entirely estrang
ed., He paid no attention to this, for he was
busy with bis oandidateship for clerk of one of
the district courts. Last. Saturday the street
commissioner sent him word, through. Alder
man'Muntoe, that Dr. Graham was going about
the streets abusing him and threatening to kill
him at sight. The same news was given him
by other parlies. His friends advised him to
.arm. himself; its Graham was a dangerous man.
He accordingly went home and provided him-,
self with a revolver, but remained with his fa
mily that evening. On Sunday he went up
town to see bis friend, as usual, and talk about
the election... When lie appeared on St. Charles
street, a friend, (whom I saw saw, afterwards,
and who confirmed jhisslaienierit.) met him and
begged of him not to go on Common street, near
the Union or the Buby Coflee-houses, as Gra
ham was'then threatening still to kill him, : He
did not see why he should'go out of his way;
but he concluded finally to do so, and avoid en
countering Graham.- Yesterday he went to the
opposite side of the river where his father, re
sidesreturned to the city in : the evening by
the lower ferry, and came uptown. At the
Union Coffee-house; on Common street, between
Camp and St. Charles, he met several friends,
and siaid awhile chatting. By : and-by ho was
asked by a friend passing by .to go over to the
“ Buby” and taken drink With him. • They
crossed the street, Tpledano, stopped his friend
in front of <}ie large shoTy-windaWibPPihtjalld.’s;
TeaUuraut, (ricxl.fo to admire the
.fine display of fruit it always contains. They
then entered the Ruby, where there is generally
a crowd. Toltdano saj’S ho had no Jhought of
Graham, and hud no idea,of meeting hint.
On entering the saloon, he saw Graham a few
steps ahead of him, talking with a Dr; Bensa
don, I believe.' At the same instant. Graham
turned his head and caught sight, of Toledano.-
(who is a small man.) and gave.him a scowling
look, and put his right hand up:to his left coat
side, as if to draw a weapon. Toledano saw
the look and motion, drew his revolver, and
fired the five shots with singular rapidity, and
most remarkable steadiness of aim. Dr. Gra
ham did not fire f. he did not have time, I sup
pose. He rushtd towards Toledano, who drew
back, and Dr- Graham staggered oitt into the
street and fell in the mud and water, dead.
His pistol—a small pocket Derringer—wits
picked up in the street, leaded. Toledano im
mediately exclaimed, “ I am the roan that did
it; I did it in self-defence!” He surrendered
himself quickly, and was taken, to the. police
lock-up. where his friends soon followed.
The body of the dead man was taken into
the cofiee bouse, the doors of which were closed,
and a physician was on the spot speedily; but
his skill was of no avail.. The Chiel of Police
then bad his body taken to his private office,
and there, after hearing Toledano’s statement,
(he parting with me. by slapping his breast and
saying energetically •’ there is no purer con
science than mine!”) Stretched out on a table,
f saw the unfortunate man, his large, handsome
form stiffened; his pantaloons and boots covered
with mud; his coat, vest, and cravat off; his
shirt stained with mud and it little blood; his,
arms crossed; his hands and wrists blackened
tied with his cravat ; his shirt bosom partly
open ; and his fine features white and fixed for
ever. There was no expression of pain about
the countenance; it was calm and serene. -A
physician standing by showed me the wounds:
three small black spots below the right breast,
so close. together that the hand could cover
thein, and one in the left arm.
The last I had seen of the man he stood at
my elbow, chatting pleasantly, looking hand
some, dignified, and courtous as usual: now he
lay a blood stained, mud, and rain-soiled corpse.

Warning to the Intemperate.
Charles Lamb tells his sad experienoe'as a
warning to young men, in the following lan
guage:
‘•The waters have gone oyer me; but out of
the black depths, could ! be heard,! would cry
out to all those who set a, foot in the perilous
flood. Could Ihe youth to whom the flavor of
the first wiue is delicious as the opening scenes
of life, or the entering upon some newly disov
cred paradise, look into my' desolation, and be
made to understand what a dreary thing it is
when he shall fcel himself going down a preci
pice with open eyes and passive wifi—to sec his
destruction, and bare no power to -stop it, and
yet feel it ail the way emanating from himself
—toseemll godliness emptied out of him, and
yet npt able to forget a time when it was other
wise—to bear about the piteous spectacle of bis
own ruin. Could he see my fevered eye, fever
ish with the last night’s drinking, and feverish
looking for to-night’s repetition of the folly :
could he but feel the body of the death out of
which I cry hourly with feebler outcry to bo
delivered, it were, enough to make him dash the
sparkling- beverage to the earth in a(l the pride
of its mantling temptation.” ~

A Fast Woniad and her Victims,
The public has healed of the late numerous
chapters no less startlipg than interesting, in
the history of fast ybupg men, who, yielding to
temptation in an evil and unguarded hour, have
rushed headlong to nun: but here is a history
which eclipses them account of an ex
traordinarily clever antjbfilliant “fast” woman,
whose power of fasoinn'tiog and beggaring men
has been wonderful. We copy from the Paris
correspondent of the Courier lies etats llnis :
“Among the young' "spendthrifts noticed in
the journals of the’day A iifcthe name 6f a Prus
sian prince, count ’or (filaron Enshel'who has
eaten up, in less than dour years, a fortune of
more than six million francs, all for the sweet
eyes of a woman Well fenown in Paris as the
Marchioness of Pavia.; .( The history of this
woman is curious. Shqjvas observed in Bus-,
sia, where she was torn of. Jewish parents, by
a great pianist who, conceived for her a passion
justified by her beauty,-and above all, by her
knowledge and intelligence. She spoke seven
languages perfectly; ,-. The pianist brought her
with him to Paris, where he had the weakness
to present her as a legitimate wife in society,
•and even at a court Ball. At this ball she
made such an impression on one of the princes
of the Orleans family; that she attracted him
to the home of the man whoso name she bore.
Borne down by ; his excessive expenses, the
artist quitted France; for a time to mend his
fortunes abroad. His companion, left at home,
during his absence, quitted it one fine morning,
to follow Lord Ward,kd6wn in London by his
conquests of this kind. 'This nobleman did not
retain her.long—he economized too much of the
wealth of which she Returned to
Paris in quest of a new.position, which was the
height of her ambitionT'she encountered the
young Marquis of Paviai.lbrother to the Portu

eventually was not long-in coming.- The new
Marchioness could n6t consent to live in the
heart of Portugal, whither her husband had
taken her, so after maUiiig useless efforts to re
.tain her, he counted out the million. apd let
her go. At the end of a'year the million bad
vanished, so that tfie Marchioness was obliged
to sell furniture, horses'and carriages, and to
lake refuge, in lodgings, where she,
spent her last cent. She’ljtjad not the where
withal to pay for a dinner,, when she met a
friend to whom she told her condition, and who
offered her a meal at the' Ecstaurant Lcdoyeu,
in the Champ Ely sees.. Win the conversation nt

hardly had the adroit huntress caught him in

to attract to her, by her splendid stylo of life,
Women who were not df the demi-monde., This
impossible thing caused her to blush amid her
opulence. Hopirig to triumph over this obsta
cle, by softening the conscience of the public,
she commenced to build i.B the- great avenue of
the Champs Blysees a mansion which would be
a wonder. The stair case is entirely of onyx,
and the dining of malachite. But the work has
been suspended, after an expense of two or
three mitliou of francs.'. The poor rich man

siract himself from the horrors around him, and
sit down and pen those lender, playful epistles
to Josephine, which excite oursmilcsand make
us forget the soldier in thchusbnnd. No soon
er is the battle lost and. won, and the shout of
victory raised’, than a missive of congratulation,
void of all the circnmsiancesof war is dispatch
ed to the dear ones at home, without whose
sympathy the hardest won victory would bo
barren. Napoleon greets Josephine from Mar
mirolo, and —sends a kiss to his wife’s lapdog.
Nelson batters Copenhagen, and composes verr
ses to Emula, his “guardian angel.” Herein,
Love; the great leyelcr, places the drummer boy
on a par with Iris General, and ibb forecastle
Jack on a footing with his Admiral.
The letters subjoined are selected from a nu
merous correspondence that, passed between
Napoleon and Josephine, n-hen he was engaged
in campaign in Italy, in 1708. Amid the perils
-of war he could find lime to pen only the brief
est expression of his ardent love for Josephine.
The letters given below are among the longest
in the series. It is a inalterof regret that none
of her letters were preserved. They were prob
ably destroyed as soon as, read. .
' The first letter is fiom Napoleon to Josephine
when she was at Milan. It is dated Marmirolo,
July, 1800:
“I have received your letter, my dcnrestlove;
It has filied my heart with joy. lam greatly
obliged to you for the trouble you have taken
to send me all the news ; , your health js doubt
less better now. I feel sure you are getting
quite well. Let me strongly recommend you
to take exercise on horseback.
“I have been dull ever since we parted, I
never cease thinking of your kisses, of your
tears, and your amusing little jealousies-; the
charms of. the matchless Josephine ever- keep
my heart and feelings warmed. * When free
from care or business, what happiness to pass
every moment with you,’to love only you, to
tell it and prove it. to you 1 ’ X shall send you
your horse: but I hope you will soon join me.
I believe I have always loved you. but. I think
I love you a thousand times belter'now than
ever. This proves, that La Bruyer's. riinxim,
Vamour -fieri! tent tl'ttn coup, is false. Every
thing in nature grows and increases. Ah 1 I
beg of you to let me see some of your defe-cts;
be less beautiful, less kind, less good but es
pecially never be jealous, never weep; your
tears distract me,-set rny Wood on fire. Be
lieve me, I have not a thought except for you,
or. that you might not know.
“Take repose. Re-establish your health
quickly. Come .to me, and at least before .we
die, let us say wo had some days of happiness.
“A thousand kisses —the same to Fortune,
(Josephine’s lap-dog.) in spile Of her naughti
ness. Bonaparte.’.’
Josephine is still at- Milan, but Napoleon s
headquarters are removed to Brescia. This let
ter is dated August 10ih;
“I have arrived at this place, my dearest
love, and my first thought is of writing tq you.
1-Your health have occupied a'l
: mylhouglits on my way hither. I shall not
.be at ease until I receive a letter from you. I
■eXpeot them with the greatest - earnest ness. .. It
■'is Impossible to tieocr-ibo to you my impatience.
t feel dull, sad, and half sick. If the deepest
-arid tenderest love can make you happy, you
ought to be so. lam overwhelmed with busi
ness.
“Adieu, my dear Josephine—love me, lake
care of yourself; and think often, very often,(of
me. Bonaparte.”
Napoleon is now at Verona, and his letter
bears date September 17th:
“I write very often to you, my dear love, but
very-seldom hear from yon. You are a fickle,
ugly, wicked creature- Perfidious! to deceive
a poor husband and ardent lover 1 Must be
forfeit his rights because he is far away, bur
dened with difficulties, cares and fatigue?—
Without his Josephine, without the assurance
of her love, what remams for him on eanhl
What can he do ? * * - * * *
A thousand loving kisses,
Bonaparte."
| Arriving at Meddna, he writes under date of
October 17th, and playfully reproadhes her with
not responding to his ardor:
“The day.,before yesterday I was all day in
the field, yesterday I kept my bed. I have a
headache and fever but that does not prevent
mo writing to my dearest love. I have received
your letters and pressed them to my lips arid
heart, and the pains uf absence and a hundred
miles of distance, have vanished. At this mo
ment, I fancy I can see you, not capricious, nor
cross, but kind and gentle, with that unction
of goodness, which is the. exclusive gift of my
Josephine. But it is only a dream, and you
may judge from it that my fever has not left
me. Your letters are as cold as if you were
fifty. They are like fifteen years after mar
riage; they exhibit the friendship and feeling
of the winter of life, Josephine! This is.
very wrong, very wicked, very treacherous in
you. Why do you give me so much cause to
complain ? Do you no longer love me ? Eh,
is that the fact ? Do you hate me; Wei., 1
suspect so. • ’ ~ : ,
“A thousand, thousand kisses, as tender as
my heart. ■ _
-I am better : I start to-morrow. The Eng
lish quit the Mediterranean. Corsica is ours.
Good news for Franco and the army.
Bonaparte.”
He is at Vienna again on the 13ili November,
pleasing himself with the thought of giving
Josephine a million burning kisses: •
“I dont love you a bit; on the contrary I do_
test you. You are an ugly, wicked, stupid
wife. You never write to me, and you do not
love yourhusband. You know the delight your
letter affords me, and yet you send me only ball
a dozen hurried lines. '
“Pray, madam, what do you do with your
self all day? What important business is it
that prevents your writing to your fond lover f
What allection stifles and puls aside your love,
theJtender and constant love you promised mo i
Who ean this new wouder .be, this new lover,
that absorbs all your time, tyranizes over your
days, and prevents you thinking of your hus
band ? Take care, Josephine, some fine mglit,
the doors closed, aiid I’ll surprise you.
“But seriously. I am very uneasy, my dear j
love, ac receiving ho news from'you ; write me
four pages immediately, full of those charming
things that fill my heart with tenderness mid
dC "f h h’ope to embrace you before ’ong; and
then 1 Will cover you with n million burning
kisses. Bonaparte.’

A modest Toting IHan;
We love a modest,,unassuming young man.
wherever tve find him—in the counting room or
law office —at the bellows or crank—at the roll
stand or'type case—on a calm bank or bn the
pulpit. Among a world of brass and bold im
pudence. be stands forth an honor to himself;
showing to others that he at least has a good
bringing up, and knows what-belongs to good
manners. Ask him a question, afnd ho will not
look cross enough to bite you. If you are
looking for anything, he will take pants to find
U for you if he can.
When in company with others, he does 'not
usurp all the conversation, and endeavor to call
the attention of others to himself by boisterous
language, lie listens attentively to his seniors,
and modestly advances his opinions. We love
such a man—wo do sincerely—and his compa
ny we highly prize. If ho meets you in the
street, ho pleasantly bows, and bids you good
morning. You do not find him at the corners,
using profane words, or seeing him standing at
the entrance of churches on the Sabbath, lie
quietly enters his pew and lakes a seat without
a flourish. He goes to hear not merely to sec.
Such young men there are ip the country and
in the city. We often see them. '.You-will find
them in some of your printing offices, work
shops, and other places, where to.earu one's.liv
ing is honorable. When they conte upon the
stage of active life, they must succeed—it can
not bo otherwise. We would give more for a
modest, unassuming man, fur all the practical
business of life, than for a score of brassy impu
dent rascals, who are not worth the bread they
keep from moulding.
A Fight with Bumble Bees.
A merchant doing business on Main street, .
found a " bumble bees’ nest” in a'slore box.—
lie carefully corked up the' hole where they
made their exit and entrance, and set the box
out in the back yard. The next day an old ap
ple pedlar came along and' wanted to biiy a
box, and the merchant thinking to have a little
fun, sent him out in the back yard with a hatch
et to open the box to which eve have alluded.—
The yard is surrounded with a high fence; so
that'there is no way of getting out except
through the store. After the pedlar passed
thidogh the door into the yard, the merchant
turned the key, and in company with -others,
whom he had advised of the trick, went up
stairs to witness the scene. The pounding on
the box.spon stirred.up the bees, and when the
lid. was rinsed about a’quart of the varmints
pounced upon the old fellow.
He dropped his : hatfchet and broke for the
door, but finding that.locked ho ran around in
a stooping posture, hugging the fenct ns close
as possible, until' liii) eye fell upon it large
Jamestown weed. This ho pulled up by the
roots and continued to run, slapping at the
bees iii the most earnest, energetic, and it the
same lime the most ludicrous manner iuiogiua
ble. Becoming a little heated by the active ex
ercise, ho hastily pulled oft his coat, and with,
glaring eyes and'expahded muscles be went in
to the insects most vigorously, anti in a short
time the yard was strewn with the carcasses of
his enemies. Ife had worn the Jamestown;
Bush completely aw-ay, and his body was liter
ally green from its frequent contact wirlithc
well-wielded weed. Upon being admitted into
the store, lie told the story of. bis recent tri
umph with many flourishes, being perfectly ig
norant of the cruel trick.that had beeu played
upon him, —Wheeling Intelligencer.

Make farm labor fashionable— To the
YOUNG MEN’.OF CUB COUNTRY.
Silas Wrighf, in one of his excellent agricul
tural addresses, save the very basis of the pros
purity and happiness of a nation lies in tbia
groat principle— l * make farm laior fashionable \
al home. Educate, instruct, encourage, and
otter all the incentives you can offer to give in
terest and dignity to labor at homo. Enlist the
beait and intellect of the family in tbo support
of a domestic system that will make labor at
tractive at tbe homestead. By moans of the
powerful influences of early homo education
endeavor to invest practical labor with an inte
rest that will cheer the.heart of eaclrracmber of
the family, and thereby yon will give to your
household the grace, peace, refinement and at
traction which God designed a home should I
possess. ' ■ %
The truth is wd must talk more, think more,
work more, and act moro,in'referenoo to ques
tions relating to home.
The tmining and improvements of the physi
cal, intellectual, social and moral powers and
sentiments of the youth of our. country requires
something more than tbo school-house, acade
my, college, and university. The young mind
should receive judicious training in the Hold, in
the garden, iu'the barn, in the workshop, in tbo
parlor, in the kitchen—in a >vord, around the
hearthstone at home.
Whatever intellectual attainments your son
has acquired, ho is unfit to go forth into society
if ho has not thrown around him the genial and
purifying influences of parents, sisters, brothers,
and the man-saving influence of tbo family go
vernment. The nation must look for virtue,
wisdom, and strength, to the education that
controls and shapes tho home policy of the fa
mily circle. There can bo no love of country
where there is ho love of homo. Patriotism,
true and genuine, the only kind'worthy of the
name, derives its mighty strength from foun
tains that gush out around the hearthstone;, and
those who forgot to cherish tho household inte
rests will soon learn to look-with indifference
upon tho interest of their common country.
Wo must cultivate (bo roots—not tho tops.—
Wo must make tho family government the
school, the farm, the church, tho shop, the ag
ricultural lairs, tho laboratories of our future
greatness. Wo must educate our sons to bo
farmers, artisans, architects, engineers, geolo.
gists, botanists, chemists—in a word, practical
men. Their eyes must bo turned from Wash
incton to their States, counties, townships, dis
tricts, homes. This is true patriotism, and the
only patriotism that will perpetually preserve
the nation. . ..
Turn your heads from Washington, from cus
tom-house, from all public offices, except those
which emanate from tho people soliciting your
services for the public good. There is a dig
nity ill farm labor that is not found attached to
any other employment. Wo have seen hun
dreds ruined by waiting in expectancy of public |
position, and hundreds of others who wetu ruin
