The Pan and the Press.
BY JOHN OBITOH LBY PRINCE!
Young Genius walked out by be mountains and
streams,
Entranced by the power or his own pleasen
dreams,
Till the silent, the wayward, the wandering thing,
Found a plume that had fallen from a passing
bird's wing;
Exulting and proud, like a boy at his play,
He bore the fair prize to his dwelling away;
He gazed for a while on its beauties, and then
He out it, and shaped it, and called it a Paw.
But its magical use he discovered not yet,
Till he dipped its bright lips in a fountain of jet ;
And, oh I what a glorious thing it became !
For it spoke to the world in a language of flame;
While its master wrote on, like a being inspired,
Till the hearts of the millions were melted or
fired ;
It came as a boon and a blessing to men—
The peaceful, the pure, the viotorious Pee,
Young Genius went forth on bis rambles once
more,
The vast, sunless caverns of earth to explore ;
He searohed the rude rook, and with rapture he
found
A substance unknown, which he brought from
the ground ;".
Ife lased itNithnire, .and-Tejcdoed-aVthe change,
As he molded.the ore into characters strange.
Till his thoughts and his efforts were crowned
with success;
For an engine uprose, and he called itlhe Pitess
The Pen and the Press, bleat alliance! combined
To soften the heart, and enlighten the.mind :
Nor. that to- the treasures of knowledge gave
birth,
And this sent them forth to the ends of the
earth ;
Their battles for truth were triumphant indeed,
And the rod of the tyrant was snapped like a
reed ;
They were made to exalt us, to teach us, to bless,
Those invincible brothers—the Pas and the P sass.
For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate
Repudiation.
As our secular papers are outspoken and
decided in denouncing the attempts , of cor
porations to get rid of debt by repudiation,
the impression may be made in some Chris
tian minds that it is merely a crime against
the laws of finance, of trade, or of political
economy, all of qvhich are susceptible of
manifold and even of opposite interpreta
tions. But besides all this, it is a crime
against God, and in direct hostility to' - bin
law as well as subversive of the plainest
principles of common morality.
Dr. Wayland, in his recently published
volume,_ uses the following language :
" I think it must be admitted that every
member of a society is morally responsible
for the wrongs committed by that society,
unless he has used all the innocent means
in his power to prevent them ; unless he
have done this he is a partaker in the wrong.
It 'will constitute no valid excuse for him to
plead that he was not the actual doer of the
wrong, and that it was done by his = agent.
He who appoints an agent, is by every prin
ciple of law and of equity responsible for
his acts. Nor can we even plead an exten
uation that we, as members of the society
took no active part in the appointment and
direction of the agent.
ic The wrong ior done, and the wrong might
have been prevented by the exercise of pre
cisely such power as has been placed in our
hands. Unless we have exerted that power
for the prevention of wrong, which cithers
have exerted in causing it to be committed,
we are, on every principle of, right reason,
responsible for the act, and are partakers
of the guilt. . This is the only rule, so far
as I know, by which we can estimate moral
responsibility in all eases of association. If
several men are united in a co partnership,
we hold every one of them responsible for
the acts of the firm, not only legally, but
under the conditions which I have specified,
morally also. If one partner commit no ant
of dishonesty with his own hands, yet, if he
be cognizant of the dishonest acts of , his as
sociates, if he allow them to use his capital,
then share with them the gains of wickedness,
he is manifestly as guilty as they. Although
he never told his clerk to defraud; yet if he
see his clerk defraud at the command of his
partners, and never put a stop to the vil
lent?, is he not as thorough % sharper as any
one of his companions ?
"Such are the judgments which we in
variably- form, in respect to - the acts of a
private association. Precisely the same
, principles guide our judgments respecting
the obligations of a political- Society. A
people is always held responsible for the
acts of its Government, be the form of that
Government what it may. No nation has
ever maintained this doctrine more stren
uously then ourselves. We have demanded
restitution for wrongs inflicted under the
Government of a usurper, or even under
the temporary- subjection of a .nation to a
foreign power. But if this be the law of
national responsibility, it ie manifest that it
applies to. us. , with greater stringency, than
to any other people on earth. We exercise,
in its widest extent, the right to elect our
own rulers. We elect them for short pe
riods. We demand a full knowledge of all
their public acts, and of the reasons which
have led to their decisions. We remove
them whenever their note-displease us. •We
thus employ them as our agents. We claim
to be principals, and we must, by conse
quence, assume all the responsibilities of
principals. We thus forever shut ourselves
out from the plea that we are not answerable
for the acts of our rulers. No American
olden can ever offer this plea, unless he
has.employed his constitutional power to its
full extent, for the prevention of national
wrong-doing. Let us suppose, for - in
stance, that the legislature of a State,
(or the corporation of a pity,) borrows
money for the purpose of constructing
,works of internal improvement. The
question of effecting this loan was pub
licly discussed. It was believed to be a
measure of great public utility. No citizen
objected to it. The funds are received and
appropriated, and the faith of the State is
pledged for their redemption. The under
taking proves disastrous, or the loan is squan
dered by unfaithful agents. The enterprise
becomes unpopular. The legislature refuses
to pay it, and the people sustain their re
fusal by declaring that they will not be taxed
to redeem their bonds Can there be a
doubt that the citizen who suffers this
wrong to be done, without uttering his
solemn remonstrance, is a partaker iu the
guilt of the dishonesty r Can any man,
under such circumstances, be innocent, un
less he not only is willing to. pay his pot ,
tion of the debt, but also exert all the
influence which be possesses, to persuade
his fellow citizens to be of the same opinion ?
Nay, even this is not enough. Ile cannot
free himself from the stain of dishonesty
until he has used all the constitutional
means in his power to secure the election of
those rulers who will redeem the solemn
pledges of the State, and re-assure the
world that the national honor is inviolate."

The Grammar Lemon.
it Henry, have you learnedyeur lesson ?"
inquired Mrs. Lincoln one evening, as she
saw her son engaged in reading a story
book.
" No, mother, And I don't viant.to, for it
s a grammar lesson, and I hate it."
"Oh dear l" exclaimed Mary, " wish
mother would let you leave GIT studying
grammar; I am tired of hearing you-scold
about it." •
"I wish she would,"' rejoined Henry.
"Come, mother, won't you? Pll study
all my other lessons harder, if you will.
Besides, what use is there in my studying
it?" •
"To teach you to speak correctly, my
sou."
"Is that all ? I'm sure I can talk well
enough now, without any help from old
"Bullion's Analytical."
Mrs. Lincoln was silent a few momenta,
and then said: "Henry, when your bed
time comes this evening, if you have made
lese than six grammatical errors, you may
discontinue the study of grammar for the
rest of the term. Mary may= take notice
of what you say, and write doTn your
mistakes ; . and at nine o'clock we will hear
the result'
"Oh, I thank you a thousand time,"
cried Henry; "how nicely Is shall get rid
of it. You may be sure I shall not make
six grainmatioal blunders in two hours."
By and by the clock struck nine, and
Mary laid aside her work, arid took up a
piece of-paper. Henry 'glanced at it, and
thought to himself that it looked as, if be
had lost Mel:Alarm ;
"Comity, Mary, I'want tny .fateideeided:"

That was wrong; you should have said
he was going to teach you. Then you told
mother that you done three sums wrong
this afternoon."
" Yes, I remember that. I always forget
to say dig. That's all, isn't it 7".
"No, indeed. When father came in,
he asked who left the gate open, and you
replied : ' It' was me.' Only yesterday you
were learning the role about active intran
sitive and
as
verbs 'requiring the' same
ease after as hpfore them'; and you ought
to have remembered it, and said ' it was 1. '"
" Why, I never think of saying, it was ;
I always say me."
But it is wrong. A little'wbile after, I
said I had been writing three letters today,
and you asked : " Who have you been
, writing to? Now , . you know that to is a
preposition, and requires' the oldeetive case
, after it; so you should have said whom."
" How many more .mistakes
. are there on
your _paper ?" inquired Henry.
" Three," said Mary. .
" Well," rejoined her brother, " you
need n't 'read any more. Pelee there is , need
enough of my studying grammar, and I
promise yon I won't complain of it again
until I can speak correctly for an hour at
least. go to bed nowyandL get up bright

who wants to engage the • Inen•without en
gaging' herself. She is a composition of
levity-and - vanity, whose chief aim is to be

wbether she- really is so or not. A witty

Color and Drools.
Ton ought never toh u y an article be.
cause you can afford it. The question is,
whether it is suitable to your position and
habits, and the rest of your wardrobe.
There are certain clothes that require a
carriage to be worn in, and are quite unfit
for walking' :in the streets. Above all,
do not buy wearing apparel because it is
miscalled cheap. There is no such thing . ; .
cheap-clothes are dear to , wear. , The article
is unsaleable because it is either ugly, vulgar,
or entirely out of date. One reason why
you see colors ill arranged is, that the differ
ent articles are purchased each for its own
imagined virtues, and without any thought
of what it, is to be worn with. Women,
while shopping, bur - what pleases the eye'
on the counter, forgetting what they have
'got at home. That parasol hrpretty, but it

An enerniiiiiihniun . of-Anoney: is (spent yearly
upon women's dress; yet-how,, , seldom a
dream is so arranged as to give the beholder
any pleasure! To , be magnificently dressed
certainly costs money ; but to• be dressed
with taste is not expenelve. 'lt requires
good sense, knowledge, refinement. We
have seen foolish gowns, arrogant gowns.
Women are too often tempted to'imitate the
dress of, each, other, without considering
44 the difference of climate and complexion!'
The colors which go best together are green :
with violet; gold color with dark crimson or,
lilac ,
• pale blue with scarlet; pink with
black or white; and gray with scarlet or

warm tint to give •life to it. Gray andopale
blue, for instance, do not combine well, both
being cold colors.—Theicen's " All the Year

MEDICAL.
DR. R. A. WiI4SON 9 S PILLS.
Having retired from the practise of medicine, I may be
permitted to say that it has fallen to the lot of bat fe w
persons to . have enjoyed, so liberal or large a share of
obstetrical practice as my Own has been for the last thirty
or forty years.
The experience of that long period of active life, a n d t h ,,
fact of my having been twice, since 1830, associated With.
Dr. R. A. Wilson, in the practice of medicine, (in both a
period of five years,) enables me to judge fully of the me r i t ,
of his pills.
Eo convenient, so efficient, and yet so safe, did I esteem!
these pills, that for the last five years in practice, for the
cure of chronic, diseases of whatever name, and those o r
females in particular, I have- need more of them then an
other medicines. Like every . other medicine, these must
fail in some instances, hot in my bands there has been l e ,
disappointment and more nathifiscidon in the administratio n
of this one remedy than of all others—its good effe c t,
sometimes quite astonishing me.
• If my patient required a safe aperient medicine, eith er
before or after parturition, the Wilson's Pills were just th e
thing/ wanted.
If a dyspeptic acid condition of the stomach, combined
with costiveness, or inactivity of the liver, constituted t h e
disease of my patlen; the pills were just the thing
wanted.
If I treated &ease requiring an emmenagngne, the w g .
son's Pills were just the thing I wanted.
%If palpitation; headache, flashed countenance. Or other
ditt eu td e n indknong.st disturbance of the circulatory ned
secretory systems, annoyed my patient at the torn of lif e ,
the Wilson's Pills were - just the thing I wanted.
Thus, without respect to the name seams° mighthapp ee
• to wear at the time I have had it under treatment, parti ez.
.Jar indications or symptoms arising were always mast
- promptly and most happily met by the Wilson's Pills.
That so great , a number Of. diseases, and sometbn aa
apparently opposite ones, in which I have used those pill s,
shotdd be cured more readily by then. than by an y other
-remedy, may at firsteeent strange and contradictory, but
Why it is so, is as clear to my mind as that a great te e "
persons should become thirsty from as many diffeN e l
Acanims, and yet all require that common and greatest of sit
Ifierilnen, water, to quench their thirst.
In•conclusion, it is due the reputation of medicine m u d
the public to say, decidedly and unconditionally, that the
Wilon'ePflis are the only combination I bare ever met
with in my:long course of practice that really possess any
.thing curative or specific for sick headache.
