BY FINLEY JOHNSON. God bless the honest laborer, Whale'er may be his task: Grant him but health and happiness, No other boon he'll ask; He craves not wealth or worldly fame, For these he knows to be As transient as the crystal foara Upon the troubled sea. Let others grasp at wealth and power. They have no joys for him; They are but pleasures of an hour; Which shine and then grow dim; For sweeter gifts than these are his, And gifts that will endure, A happy home a mind serene, A conscience calm and pure. His life calm as a summer sea, His heart is free from care, The pains which rise from worldly wealth Can find no entrance there; He envies nut the lot of those More favored of mankind, For sweet content its influence sheds, And fills his humble mind. And though disease may sorely fall Upon his humble cot, And bind him down with iron hand, Yet he repineth not; For in that precious book Divine He there himself doth read, That the children of the upright man Shall never want for bread. O, he who labors all the day Within the open fields, Shall also reap the golden fruits, Which ripe old autumn yields; And Uiey who toil within the shops, Have hearts more pure and free, Than they who revel in their wealth, Yet live in misery. Then honor to the laboring man, Whate'er may be his toil, No matter whether be swings the sledge Or tills the fruitful soil; Let him but lead an upright life, And when beneath the snd His body moulders to the dust, His soul shall rest with God.

I regard it as extremely fortunate for the peace of tbe whole country that this point upon which the Republicans have been so long and so percintently misrepresented, is now to be brought to a practical test, and placed beyond the possibility of doubt.

Lot ber ad- here to this policy, and not attempt to dictate to other States what they shall do, and n collision will occur, for no en- oroachments will be made, lho disunion feeling in the South is, doubtless, greatly exa2,erated. A sort of terrorism seems to prevail in some places, which, for tho time appears to have crushed out any manifestation of Union sentiment. I3ut a8 tbc COU8os for this excitemont are all imaginary, the election of a Republican President, in the constitutional mode, oerta;D, ,ffording no excuse for it, it is rea-onable to suppose tbat a reaction will Boon take place among tbe Southern peo pie themselves, which will overthrow tbo pie thems Sisunioui; take to cl ts at home, It is a great mis use tbe supporters of Mr. Breck it inrido as disunionists. Some few 01 tbera may be, but Mr, Breckinridge him- self, and his supporters, as a class, are, 1 doubt not, as sincerely a tachd to the Union a many of thoe who, for political PurPosefl dunnS tbo rooent excltod 00D' tot, sought to fasten on them the stigma of disunion. Should the conservative Union men in any particular looality bo unable to cope with their adversaries, and South Carolina, or any other State under tbe lead of Nullifiers and Ditunionixts wbo have for years been seeking a pre text for breaking up the Government, plunge into rebellion, and without cause assail by force of arms tbe constituted authorities of tbe Uuion, there will be but one sentiment among the great mass of the people of all parties, and in all parts ot the country, and tbat will be that "the Uuion must and tab all be preserved,'2 and woe to tbe traitors wbo are marshall ed against it. Should any Repablioan inquire what has been gained by the tri uauph of Republicanism, I answer much. We have gained a decision of the people in favor of a Pacific Railroad a Home stead policy a judicious Tariff the ad. mission into the 1 nion of Kanaa- as a Free State a reform in the Financial departmentof tbe Government and more important than all, tbe Verdict of the People the nource of power, and from whose decision there is no appeal that the Constitutionals not a slavery-extending instrument. No more Dred Scott decis ions will now be made. Freemen, both of the North and of the South, will here after be protected in all their constitu tional rights. The policy o! the Govern ment, as of old, will uow set in favor of Freedom, and not for tbe supremacy of slavery, as bas been the case for the latit six years. Freedom henceforth will be tho law of tho Territories, because the people, in tbeir majesty, have so ordered, and neither Courts nor Congresses will be able to thwart their will. When foil ef fect shall have been given to all these great measures of the Republican party, and the prejudioos engendered against it in tbe minds of many, by tbe artful ap peals of demagogues, who bave misrepre sented its objects, shall have been re moved by actual knowledge of its acts, we may expect the bitterness of party epirit to subside, the cry of disuuion to be hushed, aud tbe principles of Repub licanism to become the permanent policy of the Government, under which it will flourish and prosper, as I trust, forever. Thc meeting was continued until a late hour, and addresses made by the Gover nor elect, Richard Yates, and tbe Hon. Don Piatt of Ohio, Judge Palmer, and others. A White Woman in Africa. A Sierre L"one paper states that a white woman, who accompanied her bus band, a missionary, up the Covalla River last May, excited the greatest curiosity and admiration among the sable dwellers of that benighted region, where a white woman had never before been seen.. All wanted to touch her. and great surprise was expressed upon feeling her hair. The King of Nyinemo Tribe called her "very fine," and complimented her hus band greatly for hi" tate in clerting her. And when she told him he mitht nee oth er white women wbo would surpass her, be said that would either never be, or elso a very long time. Owing; to her presence, the attendance on preaching was extraor dinarily large. During her visit at tbe Miioo station, hundred wont to see her, wbo waid they rould feel satisfied to die now tbat they had seen such a wonderful being as a white woman. A New Breed of Sheep. A report has lately been made to the Society of Animals in London, of a new breed of sheep, or at least animals resem bling heep, except in size, found in coun tries adjacent to the Punjaub. These animals are called Purik Sheep, and are the most diminutive of the ovis family, the full grown ones being not larger than lambs of a few weeks old. Tbe Purik Sheep baesmall bones, a Seshy carcase, and the mutton is excellent, and yields three pounds a year of very fine wool Tbe owes generally give two lambs a year. Tho great advantage of this over other breeda is its domestic habits, living around tho cottages as quiet as a houe oog and fee ding upon all Boris of waste garbage, aoraps of fruit, vegetables, crumbs of bread, shreds that are frequently wasted; eating them from tbe hands of any one who offers. It is thouuht that the Purik Sheep would be suited to the olimate of England, and exactly adapted to the want- of many cottagers. If so, it would also suit many in thi country. It would bo a great object to get an animal to con sume the kitchen garbage, less objection able than the hog, and tho flc.-b of which would afford a more wholesome food to the comoion people, too many of whom live, so far as meat is concerned, almost exolu-ively upon pork. ' It is supposed that this kind of sheep would make rather interesting pets, of which children would bepnrticularly fond; aud we approve of anything tbat would bo likely to difplace worthless dogs in their affections, and at tbe same time add to their happiness. Tribune. 8Mr. Linooln h the reoipient of a great deal of advice just now, from pa triots in all parts of the Union.

The following report from the pen of a leading phyaician of Delaware county, in relation to this singular and fatal diea!e, and moro particularly in regard to cer tain facta ditolosed by examination iuto a fatal case happening during the course of his practice, will be found of impor tance and general interest to tbe commu nity, particularly at the preent time: "This disease, which for tbe last four or five years has been making its way westward, has appeared in various local ities through this county and by iti fatal ity has caused considerable alarm in the publie mind. It is characterized by tbe formation of a membranous exudation covering tbe throat and roof of tbe mouth more or less completely, and in some ca ses extending into the windpipe, cau-ing death, as in croup, by suffocation. It is not identical with a form of throat direase wbich has occasionally prevailed in dif ferent parts of the country and which has been variously designated as malignant sore throat, putrid sore tbroat, erysipelas of the throat, Black Tongue, &c. Tbo tendency in this form of disease is to a rapid death or gangrene of the parts af fected; and it laok wholly the membran ous exudation which is the peculiar fea ture of Diptheria. The disease is not al togetbernrw. Severalepidemicshave been described in which this peculiar exuda tion was observed, and Physicians in ev ery country have occasionally met with cases of throat disease aceompauied by a membranous exudation, but lacking al together tbe fatal tendency tbat bas marked this epidemic visitation of the disease The danger from the extension of tbe exudation into the windpipe has been referred to. This undoubtedly in some cases is tbo direct cause of death, but very many cases prove fatal in which there is no affectionof tbe windpipe and no material obstruction to tbe respiration. Death has been supposed to result, in such cases, from tbe terribly depressing effect of the disease upon the nervous centres. Perhaps a large majority of the fatal oases have boon of this character and until the interesting fact developed by a case tbat ocourred in thc family of Mr Rodman Prichett of Eaet Goshen, but little has been brought out to satisfy tbe minds of intelligent Physicians as to the precise cause of death in those case. in which tbe difficulty aboutj tbe tbroat is Kuffieient to account for the result. In Mr. Prichett's family the disease first ap peared in Juue last and that time couut ed it two victims. Last week it again appeared and added two more to the list In none of these did tbe exudation extend to the windpipe nor was there an amount of disease of thp throat to explain tbe re sult. The attending Phyeicians finding themselves baffled in tbeir cfiorfc to ar rest the fatal tendency, sought, in the last oa-e, and readily obtained tbc privi lege of making a po-t-mortem examina tion, which developed the fact tbat the cavities of the heart there bad been form ed a mass or firm leathery conMi-tency, nnd more or les firmly adherent to the lining of the cavities. Much tbe larger amount was found in tbe cavities of tbe right side of the heart, forming when roll ed together a mass nearly an ioch in di ameter. The adhesions to the walla of tbo heart in some parts were so firm as to render it impossible to seperate it with out leaving partioleB still attaobed. It is true that a gelantinous ma?s is often found in the heart, formed by its con tracting upon the coagulated fibrin of tho blood, during tbe last moments of exia tenc.c; but the leathery character of the mass removed and tbe firmness of tbe ad hesion preclude suoh a theory of its for mation. A more rational explanation is found in the altered condition of tbe fibrin of tbe blood which is tbe remarkable fea ture of the dieae The existence of sush a mass would account, not only for the rapidly fatal termination, but also for the existence of an extremely feeble pulso in connection witb a violent, tumultuous action of tbe heart as i so often observed in fatal ca-es of thin disease. Should this, condition be confirmed by subse quent examination great practical good may result in directing the attention of Physicians to another source of danger than the local disease of the throat end lead them by early and decisive meas ures to counteract more successfully the blood-vice, upon which the disease de pends, t. no other point may be worthy of notice as calculated to do away with unnecessary anxiety upon being brought in oontact with oases of Diptheria. It eem8 to bo purely and simply an epi demic disease, dependent upon a cauo or causes existent in the atmo-phere, and that it will select localities and individu als that have most affinity for it, without reference to direct exposure to the dia ease.
