THEY FLoivlLAll riv ers small or large, agree in one Character; they like to lean a little on r 'inieelde ; they cannot bear to have theireliannols deep est in the middle, but will alwaYS, if . they can, liavo one bank to sun themselves up on and another to cool under : one shingly shore to play' over, where they may be shallow, and foolish and childlike; and another steep shore, under which they can pause and purify themselves: and get their strength of waves fully together for due occasion. Rivers in this; way are just like wise men, who keep on one side of their lift for play and another for work; and can be brilliant, and chattering, and transparent, when they are tit:ease, and vet take deep cease! on the other side when they set themselves to their main purpose. And rivers are just in this di vided also, like wicked and,tMed men; the good. rivers have serviceable deep places all' ,along their banks .that ships can sail in ; but the wicket t• rivers go scooping irregularly under their banks until they get fail of straggling eddies which no boat can row over without be ing twisted against the rocks, or pools, like wells Which no one can get out of I but the water-kelpie that lives at the bot torn ; but Wiekedi sr good, the rivers all agree in having: two kinds of sides.— Ruskin. . FUEL—It is a common mistake among farmers to burn woos the same:year it is cut. Two cords of dry wood. will give more heat than three cords in an unsea soned state. lVhen the moisture in the burning wood is being evaporated it has , the power of taking up heat:; its own bulk is increased one five hundredth part for every degree of heat added, and it travels up the chimney or stove pipe with the heat. If wood be cut two, years be fore its, use, it will be found Much more economical ; all the heat will he radiated is the room, or at least a vorymuch lar ger portion than when it is, acCompanied by moisture. When under steam boilers, green wood will not make steam, at least in the boiler, for the heat is used in con- I verting the water of the wood itself into steam, as it passes through the flues into the chimney, without heating'the boiler. This is true net only of wood, - but also in a degree -of coal, especially bituminous coal, which, when wet, radiates but little heat, the Majority passing up . the chim ney. Even anthracite coal is.capkbla of holding some water. -It should always be carted on a dry day, and placod`tyoder cover for winter's use. tDY-MADE Main st., TEETH SET ON EDGE. —All acid food, drinks; medicines, tooth washes and pow ders are very injurious to the teeth. If a tooth is put in cider,. vinegar, lemon juice, or tartaric acia, in a few hours the enamel will be completely destroyed, so that it can be removed by the finger nail as if it were chalk. Most people have ' experienced what is, commonly called teeth set on edge.. The explanation of it is,-the acid of the fruit that bas been eaten has so far softened the enamel of the tooth, that the least preasure is felt by the exceedingly small nerves which pervade the thin membrane. which con nects the enamel and the bony part of the tooth. Such an effect cannot be pro duced without injuring the, enamel.—' True, is will become hard 'again, when the acid bas been removed by the fluids of the mouth, just as an egg-shell that has been softened in this way becomes hard again by being put in the water.— When the effect of sour fruit on the teeth subside, they feel as welly as ever, but they are not as well. And the oftener it is repeated, the sooner the disastrous consequences will be manifested- , nnned Tan river. 172'61 ME OM IRON Court Sheet le, on The number Of persons in‘Philadelphia subject to military duty is 80,473; ad ding to these the number 130 W in regi ments, 19,228,wi11 make a total of 99,- 74:11. COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY,; PB,, ATEDPOSDAT, OCTOBER , 462. Speech of lion: John Hickman. The Ladies' Festival, held at Cloud's Grove, in . Concord, Delaware county, on ThUraday. week, in aid of the geneial hos pital at Chester, was well , attended by citizens from Delaware and Chester coun ties, and th,e neighboring State of Dela ware and Chester counties, and the neigh boring State of Delaware. The ladies had provided liberally, and upwards of ifive hundred persons sat down to the 'entertainnOnt, which bad been prepared by them. `After the cloth was removed, Robert FraMe,,Esq.,—a life-long—Demo crat—was call ed to preside, assisted by a large number of vice presidents and sec retaries. • Hon. John Hickman made the opening speech; and, upon rising, said it -was after much difficulty be had brought himself to the conclusion that he ought to attempt to speak, as ho was suffering ! severely from indisposition. He then stated his subject to be: THE VICE OF THE NATION ; THE DANGER 1 1 OF THE NATION, AND (THE SAFETY OF THE NATION. L The' Vice of the Nation.—As surely, said he, as there was a God in Israel theie is a God in history. The, sovereignty of the great Ruler is as dis-1 tinctly marked in the career of people as iu nature and Revelation. And this God, who leaves the impress of his power,' upon the recorded past, is the Christian's God, whose great attributes are justice and mercy. Few believe that individual sins can go unpunished. Thette are prin cipally against justice and mercy; why, then, should national sins be chartered ? they arc altcays against justice and mer cy. Our faith is consistent, and we' can nut subscribe to a creed which proclaims individual responsibility and yet excludes the responsibility of aggregated individ uals or communities. Both are true,, or both are false. For, if neither myself nor 'toy child can justify an act, so can not I and my child, acting together, or iu unity, make defence. If Man cannot with impunity do wrong, men cannot do wrong without retribution. The dea-1 laration does not require argument, tt is really a syllogism. Ii is a common belief that we have a Government ordained of Heaven—that iGod was with our fathers in the trials of the Revolutfon, and that as He led His: people through the Red Sea, so He led them through the 'sea of blood. 1n that' fearful struggle fur the rights of man, ours , patriot ancestors were clearly right, but' in their subsequent course they were just as clearly wrong. In their success they forgot their Great Deliverer. They fought fur truth and virtue, and con quered gloriously; they afterward sub mitted to falsehood and injustice, sad: entailed the damning consequences upon I their childeren and childreu'a children. I In their immortal Declaration the enun ciation was made, th l at "all men were cleated equal ;" it was their platform, and they stood upon it in ' the face of a des potic world, and throughout their trials. In their Constitution of Government they repudiated, their own, principles, and' wrote it down, deliberately, that instead: of the lotiest being the pder Of the high- I est, that man was property, apd might be bought and sold, and used. , Can I be : mistaken ? If I am, may God forgive me ! If . I am not, may He forgive them ! Read, Carefully, thoughtfully, disinter estedly, if you can, our organic lair, the Constitution of the United 'States, and ; then say whether you do not ;discover the sanctions of slavery. I I oannot pause to consider the remarkable succeeded that the word I "slave" does not obcur in the instrument. Have we not, through throe-, quarters. of a century, in our legislation, in our conventions, and in our communi- I ties, admitted 1. That the slave population of the South was represented in Congress. 2. That slaves escaping from service' have to be delivered.up to those to , whom their labor was due. 3. That the slave trade might ti l e pro hibited after the year 1808. These provisions were either right or wrong. If the latter, why insert them ? If the termer, that slaves' ought to be held and be the subject of representation, then why look to a restriction of the prin cipal traffic ? The vice—the crime--was , thus made a part of our political system, and we are called upon to answer for it—; to pay the penalty. I—THE DANGER, OF THE NATION. ,I have indicated what I suppose to be : the crime of the nation. It may properly be asked, "How can this moral fault of the past affect us at present ?" To such' a question I can only reply thus : I read, and what I read I believe, and you believe' that a secure prosperity does not attend general depravity. The reverse is the case.: Greece,after havitrg reached proficiency in arms, skill in arts, freedom of coru. : morce, renown in oratory, the divinity ogl poetry, and marked invention, erected sensuality into religion, and ' attempted to sanctify a general corruption. Morality was esteemed an enjoyment of the pleas.i ures of life, and lianry honorabl , . ,1 She 'ceased to be free,tuid to advance.'
