He's None the Worse for TJial.
What though the homespun suit he wears
Best suited to the sons of toil.
What though on coarsest food he fares,
And tends the loom or tills the soil:
What though no gold leaf gilds the tongue,
Devoted to congenial chatl
If right prevails, and not the wrong,
The man is none the worse for that
What though within the humble cot
No costly ornament is seen :
"What though the wife possesses not
Her satin gowns of black and green ;
What though the merry household band
Half-naked fly to ball and bat?
If conscience guides the heart and hand
The man is the none the worse for that.
True worth i9 not a thing of dress
Of splender, wealth, or classic lore !
Would that these trappings we loved less,
And clung to honest worth the more!
Though pride may spurn the toiling crowd,
The tattered garb, the crownless hat,
Yet God and nature cry aloud,
The man is none the worse for that !
Itecoplsoii Address.
We give below the address delivered by
S. C. Buhxett, Esq., to the Monroe Artiller
ists, in this borough, on the Fourth of July :
Soldikus: The duty devolves upon me!
of making a few remarks to you upon the oc
casion of this, your first visit to our borough.
You come for the purpose of commingling in
sdcial intercourse with your fellow-citizens,
and to participate in the exercises that may
here transpire, commemorative of the nation's
44 great Sabbath." The day selected by you
is truly opportune, as the one hallowed in the
memory of u3 all, as the one upon which a
bold and decided attitude was taken by our
ancestors against the unwise and impolitic
measures concerted by the British Legislature,
a day upon which those high resolves were
taken which -were so nobly and triumphantly
sustained by the prowess of American arms in
the dark and forbidding hours of the Revolu
tion, and which formed the glorious harbingers
of the after splendor and renown of our com
mon country. It is a source of just pride, and
State pride is a virtue'?ts well as love of
country, that the declaration of Independence
was first promulgated in the chief city of our
State, that it was within the limits of our
own good Commonwealth that those chiv
alric and generous spirits of '76, in view of
their political degradation and the gross in
fringements of their most sacred rights, sec
ibeir lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honors, " upon a cast," and swore " to stand
the hazard of the die."
It is foreign to my purpose to dilate upon
the scenes of the Revolution. I leave them :
to another. Suffice it to say that the Spartan
band brought their all, and freely offered it as
a sacrifice upon the altar of their country,
that many battles were fought, many lives
were lost, and much treasure expended-before
they attained their darling object, that
" Liberty arose, not in the sunshine
And smiles of Heaven but wrapt
In whirlwinds, and begirt with woes ;
Her birth-star was the light of burning plains."
Never perhaps since the organization of
our government Jiasthis country enjoyed such
a seasoofonVejdalnd industrial, prosr
perity. Uur commercial marts are tnrongeo
with the richest contributions from all coun
tries and climes, and., exchanged for the no
less rich productions of our own highly fa
vored land, simultaneously enhancing the
gains of the merchant and tradesman, and
pouring a golden harvest into the coffers of
the government, while every city and town,
village and halnlet, throughout the broad ex
tent of our country, from the great lakes to
the Gulf of Mexico, and from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, is vocal with the gladsome sounds
of industry, whose splendid creations redound
to the physical welfare and social refinement
of our citizens, and contribute to develop the
mighty resources, and add-to the wealth, the
power and grandeur of this .magnificent Re
public. The political and social condition of
the masses are infinitely better than those of
any, other people -,upon the face of the globe,
Wfi have.no ieudal privileges, dating far-back
to the dark and barberous days of the Celtics.
We have no established Church to curtail the
exercise of conscience, to force implicit obe
dience to every exaction suggested by reli
gious fanaticism and bigotry, and eat out the
substance of the people for the support of a
proud and arrogant priesthood. We have no
armed police quartered in our homes as spies
and informers, who are ever ready to carry : these effects; its name is time,
out, at the point of the bayonet, the behests i Days, months, years and centuries are all
of despots and tyrants. In a word I congrat- embraced in our notion of time, and we attach
ulate you, and I am proud in being able so to to it the capability of being measured in con

achievements oi our citizen soldiers on tne
plains and at the mountain passes of Mexico,
must remove every aspersion, and challenge
the admiration and respect of every man. It
was there proven that our citizen soldiers,

sudden and overwhelming attacks from Mata-
n v.m t n,rr
morus to Buena Vista, and from Vera Cruz
to the proud city of the Aztecs herself. Not
a heart was unmaned, and not an arm un-
derved, until the stars and stripes were planted
on every battlement, and flaunted in triumph
m-pr pvprv nrnstrate foe.
Gentlemen, from your soldier like bearing,
known patriotism, we have abundant evidence
that
if you should ever be called upon to face
m vissaged war," each of jtou would meet
"grim
it with the fortitude that becomes the soldier,
and though the contest mighflrage with fear
ful strife, and the
" Scathing fires should leap from line to line,
And the cannon's loud roar jtnock heaven's
High rolling thunder," ' 1
you would never strike to an insolent foe,
nor suffer the beautiful banner'that stands at
the heal of your corps, to trail in dishonor to
the dust.
Soldiers, this is your first visjt to our bor
ough, and I trust that it, like similar exchanges
of courtesies, maybe productive of a spirit
of friendship and good feeling; -Jetween citi
zens of remote sections. Iribehalf of the
members of the "Humane Fire Crmpany,"
and the citizens of Stroubsburg in general, I
bid you a warm and cordial welcome.

Effecls of War.
It is stated in the foreign papers, that the
census of Crotia.Slavonica, Banet, and Tran-
sylvania, recently taken, shows that there are
in those provinces, twenty-Jive thousand wid-
ows, the result of the Hungarian war. Such
facts as these are eloquent; and should be
known and circulated by every lover of peace.
Millions of men have fallen since wars began
millions and tens of millions. Cajsar sac
rificed at least two millions, and Napoleon,
directly or indirectly, as many.
The dead are not all. There are the dis
abled physically, who remain a tax upon their
country or their friends. And there are the

there are the destitute widows and orphan

Religions Maniac.
The Chicago Tribune gives the sub
joined account of a female impostor or
maniac, who is figuring off in Illinois.
There is a woman residing in Hancock
county, Illinois, who claims to be inspir
ed. She is a native of Vermont, and has
lived thirty years near Cincinnati. It is
said that she had no education whatever,
but was taught to read and write by the
spirit of God, and received at the same
time a command to prophecy and write
a book for the instruction of mankind.
Obedient to these heavenly teachings,
she addressed herself to the task thus mi
raculous assigned her. For four weeks
she wrote incessantly, day and night,
without food or sleep,at the end of whiSh
time the holy influence was withdrawn,
with the promise, however, that it would
again be communicated to her at some
future time. Three years afterwards tho
promise was fulfilled, and Mrs. Celia
Spaulding, (such is her name) has recent
ly gono to Cincinnatt to superintend tho
publication of her work, written under
such auspices. It is to be of quarto size,
and will contain 500 pages. She styles
it "A Memoir and Prophecy, written by
the., inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God,
under the character of Shiloh, or thc
weary sufferer who is to bring tho true
light of the hidden gospel to fallen
man. She also "comes under the

Mrs. Spaulding, says the Chicago Trib
une, is now 55 years of age, is well in
formed on general topics converses flu
ently and connectedly upon every- subject
but that of prophecy. "When that is
mentioned she at once becomes wild and
incoherent.
TO DE3TR0Y THE CATERPILLAR. Iu
answer to many inquiries for the best
mode of destroying oaterpillars on trees,
which have caused such havoc of our
