As sii k sis drunkards wh? n they reel?

As would conline the men to bed?
}Vi ply the brush, we wield the broo.n.

The cows must next be milk d?ami then
We get the breakfast t\?r the men.
Kre this is done, with whimpering cries
And bristly hair the children rise; j
These must be dressed and dos'd with rue,
And let d?and ail because ol you.
We next"?here Darby scratched his head,
And stole oh grumbling to his bed,
And only said, as on the run,
44/.minds! woman's clack is never done."
At early dawn, t re l'hu bus rose,
Old J oan renewed her tale of woes,
When Darby thus?"I'll end the strife,
lie you the man and I the wife;
Take you the scythe and mow, while I
Will ail youi Irossicd cures supply.
44 Content," quoth Joan, 44give me my stint;"
This Darby did, and out she went.
Old Darby rose and seized the broom,
And whirl d the dirt about the room ;
Which having done, he scarce knew how,
He hied to uolk the brindie cow,
The briudle cow whisk*d round her tail
In Darby's eyes, and kicked tin- pail;
The clown, perplexed with grief and pain,
Swore he'd ne'er try to milk again ;
When turning round, in sad amaze,
lie saw his cottage in a blaze ;
For as he chanc'd to brush the room
In careless haste, he lir d the broom.
The lire at last subdued, he swore
The broom iyid he should meet no more.
Press" d by misfortune and perplex'd,
Darby prepared for breakfast next ;
llut what to get la- scarcely knew ?
The bread was spent, the batter too;
His hands bedaub'd with paste and ilour,
Old Darby labor'd full an hour,
liut luckless wight ! thou eouldst not make
The bread take form of loaf or cake;
As every door wide open stood
In rush'd the sow in quest of food,
And, stumbling onward, with her snout
O'erset the churn?the cream ran out.
As Darby turned, the sow to beat.
The ilipp'ry cream betrayed his feet;
lie caugtil the bread trough in his tall,
And down eauie Darby, trough and ail.
'i'hv children, waken d by the clatter,
Start up and cry, 44 Oh I what's the matter?"
Old Jowler harked, and Tabby mewed,
, Ami hapless Darby bawled aloud,
' 1 let urn, my Joan, as Iieretuibre,
I'll play the housewife's part no more ;
Since now, by sad experience taught,
Compar'd to thine, my work is naught;
Henceforth, as business calls, I'll take
Content the plow, the scythe, the rake,
And never more transgress the line
Our fates have inark'd, while thou art mine.
Then, .loan, return, a.- heretofore,
I'll vex your honest soul no more;
l^et each our proper task attend?
Forgive the past, and strive to mend."

In the Gala/vwc find the following from the !
pen of Mark Twain:
Fray look at the thing reasonably for a mo- !
luent, laying aside ..11 biases <>i education and
custom, if a common public impression is a
fair evidence of a thing, then this minister's 1
legitimate, reeogniz d, undaeceptable business
is to tell people calmly, coldly, and in slitf,
writtcu lentenecs, from the pulpit, to go and j
do right, be jjst, be merciful, be charitable. |
But for lifty years it wa* George Holland's |
business, on the stage, to make ins audience go I
anu do right, and be just, merciful anu cliuri :
table?treeuuse by lus living, breathing, feel- j
ing pictures, he showed them what it was to do j
these things, and how to To them, and how instunt
and ample was the reward. Is it not a
singular teacher of men, this rcverened gentle- j
man who is so poorly informed himself as to
put the whole stage under ban, and say, " 1 do I
not think it teaches moral lessou*?"
Where was ever a sermon preached that
could make lilial ingratitude so lutein I to men .
as the sinful play of " King l.ear Or where
was there everu sermon that could so convince I
tuen of the wrong and the cruelty of harbor- I
ing a pampered and unanalyzed jealousy as I
the sinful play of "Othello?"
All that is great and good in our particular
civilization came straight from the hand of
Jesus Christ, and many creatures, and of divers
oArto uu ri. ritiinfibi fo (iuaAminato i
it; and let us believe that this seed and the
result are the main thin p. and not the cut of
the sower's garment, and that whosoever, in his
way and according to his opportunity, sown tinone
and produces the other, has done high
service and worthy. And further, let us try I
with all our strength to believe tout whenever |
* old simple-hearted George Holland sowed this
seed, and reared his crop of broader charities (
and better impulses in men's hearts, it was ^
just as acceptable U'fore the Throne as if the (
seed had been scattered in vapid platitudes from y
the pulpit of the ineffable Sabine himself. I
Am i saving tout the pulpit docs not do its ]
share toward disseminating the marrow, the t
met t ot the gospel ol Const'! (For we are not I c
talking ol cereui nies and wiredrawn creeds i t
now, but the living heart and soul ol what is r
pretty ol'leu a spectre.) h
No, 1 aui not saving mat. The pulpit teaches . <
assemblages ol people twice a week?nearly i ^
two hours altogether?and does w hat it can in j
that time. The theatre teaches large audiences i
aeven times a week?i wenty eight or thirty '
hours altogether ; and the novels and newspa I
pers plead, and argue, and illustrate, stir, '
move, thrill, thunder, urge, persuade, and supplicate
at the feet of millions and millions of
people every single day, and all day long, and
far into the night. Yet now and then souie I
complacent blind idiot says, " You uuaiiointed I *
are coarse clay and useless; you are not as we, j
the regenerators of the world ; go, bury yourselves
elsewhere, for we cannot take the responsibility
ot recommending filers and sin- *
ners to the yearning mercy ot iifeaveu." Think
of this man condemning the whole theatrical
service as a disseminator ot had morals, because
it has a Hlack Crook lu it; forgetting that
if that were sullicient ground, people would
condemn the pulpit because it had Cooks, and
k alloc to-, and baOiucs ui it.
No, 1 am not trying to rob the pulpit of any
atom of its full share and credit in the work oi "
disseminating the meat and marrow of the gos
|?cl of Christ ; but 1 am trying to get a wo'
nieot's hearing lor worthy agencies in the same j ?
work, that wuu overwrought modesty seldom 1
or never claim a recognition oi their great ser- ] j
vices. 1 ain usrure that the pulpit docs its excellent

An Eccentric iotiisf. , ,
Colonel Forney, since his retirement from !,
he conduct of the Daily Chronicle in Washngton,
has begun a serious of exceedingly inerestiug
papers, entitled "Anecdotes of Public
n," iu the Siunlay Chrunidc, of which he
t>ll reta il- the control. No man in the conn- . 1
ry is better prepared, by long and intimate i
niereourse with public men ol ail parties fur
he last and most interesting quarter of a !
entiiry. to furnish material tor the future ,
ristorian. In his last week's paper he gives
Lis account of a meeting between an old j
Aboiiiionist of those days (and a leaning Pro- i
tectionist of these,) l>r. \N illium Eider, of
Ptnitide Iphiu, and Mr. Slidell. Breckenridge,
md Douglass, with some fifteen other leading
Democrats, at his table in Washington in
1S.*?G:
When the restraint of the first course or two
was thawed by a generous draft of champagne,
those who sat at my board were quickly attracted
by the agreeable manner and dazzling
wit of my abolition friend. He gradually
_ f 1*1 l _i i ? i - ? i
monopolized meir wnoie atteuuou oy ion c ?iu
mentd on hooks and men, and Ins knowledge of
the resouce# of their own section. At last one
of them said: " Pray. 1 >r. Elder, liow is it
that one of your taste and learning should be
so oppose d to Southern rights and institutions?
That opened the ball, and nothing loth, he
answered with a story i can never forget?a j
story wljich 1 believe has never been forgotten j
hy any one who beard it: " When 1 lived in {
Pittsburg, gentlemen," said the Doctor," where j
1 had the honor to vote for James G. Birney
for President iu 1K44, heiug one of a very, very
small party, which will soon coutroi Pennsylvania
by an Andrew Jackson maiorify. we had
a strange character among us who occasionally
made speeches against slavery, and whose
peculiarities were that when he became excited
he gave uncontrollable tears and oaths.
1 always went to hear him, for there was an
odd fascination about him. One night he was
advertised to speak against the fugitive slave
law?a measure which roused him almost to <
madness?and I was among the audience, lie
closed his harangue with a passage something
like this : 44 Bet us apply this law to ourselves,
brethren and sisters. 1 live about a mile out
of town, and rarely get back to uiv quiet home
till evening ; and the first to welcome me at the
garden-gate is n^y little girl Mary and my
bright-eyed son W illie?the joy of my heart,
the stars of my life. Suppose, when 1 get home
to-morrow, 1 meet my wife instead of my chil- ;
dren at the door, and on asking for my darlings,
she tells me that a man culled John 0.
Calhoun, of South Carolina, and auother man
uamed Henry Clay, of Kentucky, hud come in
my absence and carried them down South into
slavery. How would you feel in such a case ?
How do yon think I world feci ? What would
I do ? you ask.
Well, I will tell you. I would follow the
aforesaid John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay ;
follow ihetn to .the South ; follow them to the j
gates of death and hell ; yes, iiuo hell, and there
cram the red hot coals down their damned,
infernal throats I" 44 And this outburst,"
added Dr. Elner, 44 was punctuated with alternate
sobs and swearing. 1 have given you one
of the many causes, gentlemen, that have confirmed
me in luy abolitionism."
It is impossible to convey an idea of the
manner in which Dr Elder toid this incident,
nr tlw* tirniluppil liruiii t Iia Smifli*?rti im?n
around him. They listened with profound and i
breathless interest, and more than one witit a j
pale cheek and uioisteued eye ; and though they
<iid not say they agreed with the eloquent
Doctor, i saw ti at they respected him lor the
candor and waruith with which he hud replied
to their equally candid question.

No more delightful travels are printed in tlie
Knglish language than appear perpetually in
Harper s Magazine. They are read with equal
nterest and satisfaction by hoys of every grade
Tom eighteen to eighty. Its scientific papers,
>vhile sutlieientlv profound to demand the attenion
of the learned, are yet admirably adapted
o the popular understanding, and designed as
much to diffuse correct, information concerning
urrent s? ientiiic discovery as it could be it it
sas the organ of the " Society for the 1'illusion
t I seful Knowledge." The great design of
Harper's is to give correct information and raioiial
amusement t? the great masses of the
people. 1 here are few intelligent American
families in which Harper's Magazitte would not
he an appreciated and highly-welcome guest.
I'here is no monthly Magazine an intelligent
reading family can less afford to be without. \
Many Magazines are accumulated. Harper's is j
edited. There is not a Magazine that is printed
which shows more intelligent pains expended on
its articles and mechanical execution. There is
not a cheaper Magazine published. There is
not, confessedly, a more popular Magazine in

N. V. TRIBUNE. I
1071.
T hrough struggle and suffering, at the cost of
multiform ngoni??s, bereavements, devastation*, j
the American I den embodied in the preamble
, to our fathers' declaration of Independence
I approaches its complete realization. The noble,
inspiring assertion that 44 all men are created
I equal. and endowed by their Creator with
inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pur
suit of happiness, is no longer a glittering gen- |
eralitv, a poet's fancy, a philosopher's specula
| tion. but the recognized base of 01* political
i labr'u. The b'*nigtt Revolution, which dates .
from the Boston Massacre of 1770. finds itlo.^o.il
aha .....j 1. ..... t.
the \\ th Amendment, which giv. -s to flu ? ?)itrvl
political and civil rights of every man born or
naturalized in our Republic the shield and de
fen so of the Federal Constitution. The billows
of Caste and Priv ilego may roar and rage around
thai rock, and may transiently seem on the
point of washing it away; but its foundations
are deep-laid and steadfast, and the breakers of
Reaction and SI..very arc hurled against and
dash the?r spray over it in vain.
We do not underrate the forces of Prejudice
and Aristocraey. We do not forget that a vciy
large minority of the American People still
hold in their inmost hearts that Marks have no
i rights which \V hites are bound to respect. W e I
I fully appreciate the despera.ion wherewith all
i the warring elements of hatred to Republican J
aehievement will he combined and Ihtrh d against ?
the battlements of Republican ascendency >n
the Presidential K'eotion of 1S72. W e do not '
donht. thai, local succcssess. facilitated by lie t
publican fends attd dissensions, a ill inspire the
charging host wi.h a sanguine hope of vietory,
i such as nerved ii to put forth its utmost strength t
iti the earlier stages of the contests of I Sill and
! lM'.JS. Yet our faith is clear and strong that the ' 11
J American* People still bless Cod that, on the j c
| red battle-fields of our late Civil War?tbe ITiion
was upheld and Slavery destroyed, and will
j never consciously decide that the precious blood
thereon poured out was lavished in vain.
'I'llk 1 kibcxk believes in the prosecution of (
the great struggle bv legitimate mean - to bencheent
ends. To State Sovereignly it opposes t
indissoluble National Integrity: to Slavery for ^
blacks. Liberty for All: to Proscription. F.nlranchisement

Will. It would fain do its utmost to hasten the
glad day when the South shall vie with the
North in exultation and gratitude over the dis
appearance of the last trace or taint o( that
spirit which impelled Man to exult, in the owner
I ship and ehattelhood of his fellow Man.
j Profoundly do we realize that the contest is j
' not yet ended?that Millions ntourn, more or (
less publicly, the downfall of the slaveholders
Confederacy, and rear their children to hate

throw whs achieved. If we ever seein to ditfer
essentially frotn other Republicans, our convie- j
lion that magnanimity is never weakness, that
vengeance is never politic, and that devils are J
not cut out l>y Beelzebub, must serve to explain |
alleged eccentricities whose perfect vindication
we leave to Time and Reflection.
'I'llk Tkibcnk has been, is, and must be. a j
zealous advocate of Protection to Home lit
I dustry. Regarding habitual idleness as the I
; greatest foe to human progress, the bane of hu- \
man happiness, we seek to win our countrymen
in masses from the ensnaring lures of Specula- 1
t ion, of Trallic, and of always over-crowded Pro- ,
fessions, to the tranquil paths of Productive
Industry. We would gladly deplete our over- 1
crowded cities, where thousands vainly jostle j
and crowd in misguided quest of " Something
i to Do," to cover prairies and plains with coloi
nies absorbed in Agriculture, Mechanics and |
Manufactures, and constantly projecting into
I the blank, void wilderness the homes and the {
I works of civilized Man. Holding the Protection
| of Heine Industry by discriminating duties on
j imported Wares and Fabrics essential to the
| rapid, hcueticcut diffusion of Production in all
I its phases and departments, and so to the in ' ;
! struction of our people in all the gaiuful arts of ^
Peace, we urge our coiiutryuieii to adhere to
and uphold that policy, in undoubtiiig faith ;
that the true interest, not of a class or a section,
j hut of each section and every useful class, is
j thereby subserved and promoted. 1
Tin-; Titnn xk aims to be preeminently a
\cirx-paper. Its correspondents tnuerse every
Shite, are present on every important battle Held, i
are early advised of every notable Cabinet deeij
siou, observe the proceedings of Congress, l.cgis i
j lattires, and of Conventions, and report to u> by i
| telegraph all that seems of general interest. We
j have paid tor one day's momentous advices from
Europe liy Cable lar more than our entire re i
eeipts for the issue in which those advices .
reached our readers. It lavish outlay, unsleeping
vigilance, and unbounded faith in the liber- ?
ality and discernment ot the reading public, will |
enable us to make a journal which has no superior
in the accuracy, variety, and freshness ot
its contents, I jik Ikiki.yk shall be such a jourI
nal.
To Agriculture and the subservient arts, we
have devoted, and shall persistently devote, more
means and space than any of our rivals. W e aim
to make I'jik Whkkly Tnttunk such a paper as ! ?
| no farmer can atford to do without, however*
widely his polities may differ from ours. Our
i ports of the Cattle, Horse, Produce, and 'General
Markets, are so full and accurate, ou" essays in
j e/ueidation of the farmer's callie.ir, and our r(>lr '
I II Jar reports of the Farmer*' Club and kindred *
! gatherings, are so interesting, that the poorest
farmer will find therein a mine of suggestion ami
| counsel, of 'which he cannot remain ignorant i
without positive and serious loss. We gell Thk
W kkki.y to Clubs for less than its value in dwel- 1
lings for waste-paper; and, though its subserip
t ion is already very large, we believe that a
Half .Million more farmers will tuk* il whenever
it shall 1 e commended to their attention. We i
ask onr friends everywhere to aid us in so commending
it.
