LOLA'S THIRD BIRTH-DAY.
Three years to-day
Our Lola May
Has pouted or caressed us ;
But for the care
That we did bear
I'm sure 'twas most she blessed us.
At first she came,
Without a name,
A helpless little creature ;
She could not stand,
Scarce raise her hand,
Or smile to change a feature.
But now she walks,
And skips and talks,
And sings her little ditties ;
And all day long
Her talk or song
Is interspersed with "witlies."
O, what a change !
Though not so strange,
Have been the germ-unfoldings
Since Lola came,
Without a name.
To share our love and scoldings I

j The scheme, indeed is attractive, by
its novelty and bold neap, and ia charac

assail you with reproachful adjectives.
They call you black Republicans, and in
one view there may be some sense in. tho
epithet, for it cannot be denied that you
are strongly opposed to tho admission of
blacks (slaves) into the Territories, and
I firmly resolved to reserve, if you can, the
virgin lands, to be settled and cultivated
and mado valuable by tbe free white and
voluntary labor of American citizens, and
thus build up communities of white peo
ple free, equal and intelligent. But I
think the Democrats better entitled than
you to tho black adjective, for your claim
is negative only, as you insist upon ex
cluding the blacks from all our free Ter
ritories, and show a decided unwilling
ness to be associated witb them in your
farming labors: while the claim of the
Democrats is affirmative, and is proven
by their constant efforts to establish tho
rights of tbe blacks to go along with the
whites into tbe Territories, and by the
urgent desire of many of that party to
augment the namber of tbe blacks by
fresh importations frora Africa.
In regard to the Governmental and o
ooGomio view of the cass, an eminent
Southern statesman has tersely said tbat
'Capital ought to own its labor." Cer
tainly it ought and it does, whenever it is
able and willing to buy its labor by pay
ing honest wages for honest work."
But I cannot see any greater necessity
for capital employed in farming to own
the men who do the labor, than for tho
capital employed iu building houses to
own the carpenters and masons who e
rect them. But if I am wrong in this,
and tbe dogma be really a true maxium,
as applied to tbe laborers, still I think
there is another aphorism quite as true
and far more beneficent, especially in a
new country, that is, Labor ought to own
its Land.
The main objections urged against tbe
election of Mr Lincoln are not directed
against him personally, for it is only a
raising in ruueiuuu iu puo uuu

you to dismiss them at once, lest they

Knowing our earnest devotion o the

al philosophy, as taught in the Court of
King Charles the Second, they assume as

"Diptheria And its Cure."
Oar attention has been called, by s
medical gentleman, to an article under'
the above caption, in yesterday's Patriot
and Union, which he says may do dam
age, if acted upon without some qualifica
tion. In common ulcerative sore throat,
the prescription recommended would an
swer a very good purpose; but in true
diptheria it would be of no use whatever;
and it would also bo in tbe way of reme
dies that are more efficient and reliable.
There is. say8 our medical friend, a vast
difference between ulcerative or inflam
matory sore throat and trae diptheria.
The first i a local disoase, and when not
complicated will, in the great majority of
cases, get well without any medical treat
ment. The latter is a constitutional dis
ease, attended with a peculiar local affec
tion of tbe throat, witb which many die
under the most skillful manaj;ament.
Common ulcerative sore throat generally
... . ... . .
jjttie j.;rj Q a neighboring township, was
attended by a physician five days before
he discovered that she had diptheria, and
thon only to see her die from an exten
sion of the false membrane into the wind
pipe. If there is any remedy for this
disorder, it must bo promptly used in
the the very first otage. There must be
no delay no tampering. The physician
should use bis most efficient remedies on
the manifestation of the first symptoms.
We have no doubt there are remedial a
gents known to every scientific physician
wbo j8 conversant with tho subject, which,
e Dr0mDtlv used, will lesson tho mortali
ty from this alarming disease. iiet us,
then, caution every individual, in times
like the-e, when tbe disease is rife in
nearly all communities, to bo on his
guard. Trust not to empyrical prescrip
tions. On the least appearance ot sore
throat go to a regular physician of es-
tsblished professional reputation, and
have y0Ur oase thoroughly examined and
promptly treated. lb.
