- r
The-restored king was at this time more loved
bythepeople than any of his predecessors bad
ever been. The:calamities of his house, the heroic
death of his:father, his own long sufferings and
romantic•adventares, made him an.object of sten.
der interest.. His return had relieved the country
Irani an intalerable bondage. Recalled by the
voice of 'both the contending factions, he was the
very Ilannto arbitrate between thein; and in some
matriects he Was well qualified for the task. He
- had 'received 'froni nature, excellent parts and a
barmy temper. His education had been such as
might have been expected_ to develops his under.
standing; and 16 form him to the practice of every
public ,and.private virtue. He had passel thro'
-all the varieties'of fortune, and had,seen both'aides
- 'cif human nature. He had, while very young,
:been driyen forth from a palace to a of exile,
penury, and danger. He- had,•at the age when the
mind 'and body-are in their highest perfection,
and whenthe first effervescence of boyish passions
have:Subaidek been recalled from his wanderings
to wear a crown. He had been taught by eipe
- Tience, how much basenees, perfidy and ingratitude
' may lie hid' under the obsequious demeanor of
•:.courtiers. Re had found, on the other hand, in
the bats of the poorest, true nobility of soul.
When`wealth was offered to any who would be
' tray him; when death.was denounced - against all
who., should .shelter him, cottagers aod serving
:nett kept his secret truly. and had kissed his hand
tinder-his mean disguises - with as pinch reverence
as if he had been seated on his ancestral throne.
From such a schoolit might have been expected
that a young man whawanted neither abilities nor
amiable qualities, would have'come forth a great
and good king. Charles came forth from that
schoolWithsocial habits, with polite and engaging
manners; and with some talent for lively comer•
nation, addicted beyond inmate to sensual indul
'gem, fond of sauntering and frivolous amuse
' merits incapable of self denial, without faith in
human virtue or in human attachment, without
desire of renown, and without sensibility to , re.
proar.h. Acconling . to him, every person was to
be bought.'.. But some;people haggled more about the price than others; and when _this haggling WAS
very' obstinate and very skillful, it was called by
some very fine name. The chief trick by which
clever - men kept up the price of their abilities was
called integrity. The' chief trick by which hand
-. some women kept up the pike of their hennty ,
was called ixiodes4. The love of God, the lore of
country, the love of family, the :love'of friends,
were phrases of the same sort, delicate' and conve
nient aynomyns for the love of self. Thinking
- thus of mankind, Charles vary naturally cared
very little what they thought of him. Hanoi mid
shame.were scarcely more to him than light and
darkness to the blind. His contempt of flattery
has teen highly- commended, but seems, when
viewed in connection. With the rest of his aurae
-ter,Acr deserve no eommendation.; -It is'possible
-to be belowflattery as well us above it. (Inc. who

It is Creditable to Charlet temper ,that, ill as

fteieful. Yet he 'did not bate them nay, be was
so far humane that it was highly disagreeable to
him to see tbir suffering or to hear..tbeir com
plaints. This, however; is a sort of humanity,

societies .who hesitates about disobliging the few
who have access to him, for the sake of the many
whom he will never see. The facility of Charles
was such as has, perhaps, never been iound in any
Man of equal sense. He was a slave without be

-very bottom of whose hearts he saw, and whom
he knew;to be destitute of affection for him, and
undeserving of his confidence, could _easily when.
slfe trim out of titles, places,domains, state emits,
and pardaus. He bestowed much; yet he neither

We are often asked-if, &rifts may be cut in
winter and kept:ha good.conditio
,a month or two
before setting nt spring. When we answer that
we have kept grafts entin the. latter part of sum
tiler until the following.spring; in a fresh:state,
and Which grew, end flourished, thi'difficelty will
vanish. .•
Many:persons mistake the mode in which the
scioakare spoiled in keoliing. We sometimes see
the cut ends.carefully covered with wax, to preclude
the escape at, moisture from_ the sap Pores, and
at z other times the ends are stuck , in a potatix. for
the same purpose. Now, it happens that nearly
all themoisture escapes through the poresin the
benci it is of greater importance that the
aides,oldie shoot be well covered' with a moist
sUbstance.. Many cultivators preserve graftsn
- good , condition by partially or wholly, burying
them in the earth-of a cellar; but they become
thus, covered with sand and grit, and injure the
grafting knife, unless unlera well washed. Another mode
oravoiding this :diffiiiilty, and by which 'grafts
may be kept through the winter, is to bury them,
out doors, in.a box open at the bottom only, the
grafts being. kept from contact with the earth be
low theft by cross sticks in the box. :But the best
mode is to - fill a large box with pulverized moss,
or better, with moist saw dust, in which the
grafts are simply immersed,- and , which are thus
packed away or withdrawn with the greatest
ease, at any desired moment. A box of saw-dust
in a cool cellar Will'remain moist without water
ing for many weeks.' Too copious or too frequent
an application of Water , would cause dicay in . the
buds. - Oa the other bead, a slight withering is
safely and gradually restored by a moderate in
creaseotmoisture. In one instance we received
'Shun* of grafts in autumn, from some hundreds
o f rates; the leaves being left on to keep them
moist, but in.,reality causing them
,to, wither
rapidly, by ?I/roving - off the moisture. When_re
ceived they were quite dry; but they were well
canoed in moss, =I buried in the earth till the
next spring, when they were perfectly plump,
and being set, all grew.
Grafts or budi to , be forwarded by mall, :may :
be kept fiesh by wrapping - each shoot in int cloth
Or silk, (such as is . used for lining straw , hats,)
drawing it closely around it by means of aline
thread. This encleses all the moisture in an air
tight casing, and it_remains : unchanged for many
days.--4/bon,y

THE CRUSADE.
We have fretioently beenengaged . in 'newspaper
controversies,—we have enconatered the .most
bitter and — Unrelenting animosities' of politieal
Opponents.. But, heretofore, these attack. Were
made by :editors and others, while , laboring un
der great exciteinent. Sometimes we may have given
cause for such excitement—and as we do not make
pretensions to infallibility, will confess, that on some
oemisiona, we may have wrongfully provoked de
nunciation on our head.' We have witnessed the
severest conflicts t;etween others, at home and
abroad ; editors have assailed each other in language
so horrible, that every.wonl seemed intended to con
vey a poison that would he fatal to the object aimed
at. These, too, were the results of excitement.
But, we have lived to witness, and experience, a
sort of attack differing entirely from any recorded in
the history of the past. It is tree, we have not been
injiired by the onidaught—thanks to a wholesome
public opinion.
For a long time; the offices of the Post and Jour
nal have been united in a business point of view.
That Is, we receive the same Telegraphic Despatch
es. We were wiping to forget past differences, and
move along together in quiet ; to aid each other, if
possible. This dedire seemed mutual. We strictly
adhered to our part of the contract; the Journal NN-

'At length; as our readers know, a difficulty occur

laborers on the other. We, as by instinct, espoused

nation practised towards the unfortunate and help-,
less children -of the ,Factories.. No continued to
deal out moderato bfor after blew, for months—
from the Fourth of July until after the verdict of the
Jury was rendered.' Our conservative friendii all this
time, found nothing in our, columns to which they
could objecb—and it we recollect aright; they said
'nothing. We thought, indeed, that many of them
'sympathized with our sau te.

Of these attack., we wish to say a wort. We are
not lacking in evidence, that they were written for
the editor, aqd inserted for a tonsidenition. The
object was, beyond all donht, to break down the
'post establishment; on
.account of the fearless soli.

the newspaper attacks We ever felt . , sari , or heard of,
this crusade was; characterized by more mtannrs.s•

remember the hearty praise which be received
from the great body ; of the democratic party, espe

pampered aristocrats,- not only combine to violate
the law itself, but commence a vindictive warfare
against_every man who wishes to see the law fairly
and honestly carried into effect.
" Education, " said Johnson,'. is the main pillar
that sustains the temple of liberty." Men cannot
enjoy and aPpreclate the blessinga of liberty in their
full and sublime extent, without having some leisure
to cultivate their minds and their social affections:
Educate the rising generation—educate the children
of the poor—and there will be no occasion for Poor
Houses, Work Houses, Jails and Penetentiaries.—
Burhow can poor boys and girls ever obtain an ed•
ucation, who are compelled to labor from twelve to
fourteen hours each day within'the sickly walls of a
cotton factory, like a piece of machinery I The
thing is impossible. " But, " says the factory pro
prietors,"we cannot compete with the pauper labor
of Europe, without introducing a Pauper system of
labor here. To allow these little orphans any time
to read books, and hear lectures, we cannot clear
our ten thousand dollars 4 )4.1r. We must fOrtit

Petty Spite.
We regret to see any men deserving of the name
exhibit the spirit certain men have in Pittsburgh
against -the Pest, one of the most interesting and
able papers in the country.
The Post is a democratic paper, active, fearless
and just in its strictures on all that tends to crush
labor and build up wealth at labor's expense
Hence, when the difficulties occured at that place
and vicinity, between the large manufacturers and
the men, women, boys and girls, in relation to the
observance of the ten hour law, the Post, as its
natural sympathies would dictate, took part with
the working people. And when a little girl only.
13 years of age was cast into prison for riot, the
Post was not dumb or saving of its denunciations
of the outrage upon childhood.
At the late trials, the Post also gave very full
reports, and did not shrink front doing the justice
to the workmen, and to the girls and boys it
thought right.
For this most praiseworthy conduct of the Post,
several persons have thrown up their paper, and
refuse longer to patronize it. What" is our repub
lic corning to, if a press .dare not speak out in full
tones when it feels it im duty to do ao in behalf
of the rights of those who !abaft •
The whig papi.rs have of late years, if not al.
ways charged every act" not squaring with their
ideas of "law and order," as a terible outrage on
the peace of society, while they oath° other hand,
advocate every act of power and privilege, giving
to wealth undue advantage over labor.
We hope the Post will maintain manfully end
fearlessly, as it has heretofore done, its position as
a friend of the laboring classes.
Driven to desperation by what they conceived
wrongs of their employers, they may have, and no
doubt did commit acts not to he justified, but still
the cause of the trouble was as obnoxious to con.
den:motion as though nothing of the kind had hap
-Itened. Strike at the cause—remove it, and then
no excuse will be urged for these disturbances, for
they will not occur.
The manufacturersand employerehave the whole
Whig press at their backs to sustain them—plead
the justice of their oppressions—misrepresent the
causes of complaint - of the working people, and it
is hard indeed if one paper is not permitted to live
to plead the side'of the masses who labor, of men
and .woorn , of little .boys and girls who toil ' all
the daylong—and speak in strains of indignation
when a little girl, only thirteen years old, who
ought to be at schoal, is cast into jail -and igno,
rniniouly tried for riot, because she refused to work
in violation of what she claimed to be' the "ten
hour law" of the State.
Co on, friend Harper of the Post, you may be
coiled a Durrift and, alt other names ready on the
lips of the oppressor, but there is a better
day coin
ing for wieit—a day. when, a man will be a man
"for a' that,q•notwithstaniling he earns his living
"by the sweat of his brow."

Ma. Earron.--.9n last Sunday night there wen.
three rowdies„ passing along Market. Street, trim
amused themselves by. throwing tumblers, and
bitting people in the eyes, They knocked it a

K. Holmes and C,- -- 0.-Catighey were standingat
Doctor Thorn's door, when one of these ruffians
who were passing *king on the opposite paveinebl,,
roaring like mad bulls, blazed away at them with
a large glass I;4o:tie:which was dashed into piemi

tality'aras it thrown, that a piece of the stone part

the gentlemen it might have killed him on the

roar ran after theta with the eletermination of fi

run out, they drew of, and struck tombs the breast
with onother large and heavy tumbler. Various
Watchmen Collected, and every one of them had
a, great - deal - to say about "false lanirlsomment"
anti "tricks of laic," but noun of them• did ahy

that it was eXtregke/Y UPUSingi and-bare Ita.much

How many of all who enjoy the sports and peal
times of the 14th ot.February, really know the-ori
gin of the day. Very, few, we guess. For' Some
centuries it has been observed in the Christianised
countries of Europe, and for some-years in -tideland
of ours. To tell. the truth, the origin is covered
with mystery;-but some of the literary men of the
times' have attempted to account for it. Seme
give the follOwing.'t AS far back as we find
this love.making day observed, we find:-
with the 'Mating of birds; for, in more south
era clime*, the feathered tribes do their billing and
cooing about the middle of this month. This occa
sion Might very well lead the youths and maidens
to imitate such a custom, and that a ceremonial day
should be selected is not dtrange. Perhaps St. Val

This Is notknown:
For the ,Morning Post
A writer says, the eerier valentines were•slips of
paper, on which the names of both sexes'were writ
ten j they.were placed apart, the men anewtring for
the pile on which the women , snames were endorsed
—and they again taking the first they touched from
the opposite heap. These names were worn for a
number of days in whatever manner they most truly
expressed the real!) or figured love of the parties.
Many matches thus begun in jest, are ended in ear
nest. " •
The London Illustrated News says of this "harm
less superstition," which still exists:
' , The first maiden we met on this auspicious
morning was considered our Valeptine, and such
was bailed; and no little trouble do the'tistic lov
ers put themselVes to occasiontly, to meet the one
on whorn their choke hai before been fixed. We
can remember ourselves the heyday of youth;
being foolish enough to walk to miles in the snow
and darkness, and waiting until the cottage door
opened, to claim:a cherry cheeked farmer's daugh
ter for our Valentine. Too poor, iterhaps, to par
chateliheitrinted epistle, with Cupids alter, hearts
and doves, we presented the original,'and thereby
saved both Taper and postage. Gay, in his 44.Shep
herirs Week," thus describes this old luperstition:
Last Valentine, the duty when birds of kind
Their paramours with mental ehirpings find,
I early, rose, lust at the break of day,
Before the sun had chased the stars away
A-field 1 went. amid the morning dew,
To milk ray keno Vor so should housewives do) .
Thee first I spied.: and , the first swain we see;
In Spite of fortune, shall our true-love be. '
We have in ow possession framed and glazed a
Valentine which was sent to a dear 'old lady we
well know,more than half a century, ago. It must
have taken many hours to have cut out the hearts
add diamonds in scissor-work, and painted the bor
