m |5orirq. THE LABORER AND THE WARRIOR. The camp has had its day of song, Tho sword, tho bayonet, the plume, Have crowded out of rhyme too long Tho plough, the anvil, aud the loom, O ! not upon our tented fields Are freedom’s heroes bred alone ; The training- of the workshop yields More heroes true than war has known. Who drives the bolt, who sharps the steel, May with a heart as valiant smite As he who sees a foeman reel In blood before his blow of might ; The skill that conquers space and time, That graces life, that lightens toil, May spring from courage more sublime Than that whioh makes a realm its spoil. Let labor, then, look up and see His craft no pith of honor lacks : The soldier’s rifle yet shall be Less honored than the woodman’s axe ; Let art his own appointment prize, Nor deem that gold or outward light Can compensate the worth that lies In tastes that breed their own delight And may, the time draw nearer still, When man this saered truth shall heed. That from the thought and from tho will Must all that raises man proceed ; Though pride may hold our calling low, For us shall duty make it good, And we from truth to truth shall go, Till life and death are understood. PIICENIX SOCIETY,IRELAND. PROSECUTION OF JOHN FRANCIS NUGENT FOR THE PUBLICATION OF SEDITIOUS MATTER. Jlnnbnm JttuMtigs. A man may be great by chance, but never wise and good without taking pains for it. How to Know a Fool.â€"A fool, says the Arab proverb, may be known by six thingsâ€"anger without cause, speech with- out profit, change without motive, inquiry without object, putting trust in a stranger and not knowing his friends from his foes. A Disgusting Monster.â€"The Port Hope Guide reports tlie fact that a few days ago a man, on a wager, ate nine and a half pounds of fresh codfish, in Mr. Mat- thew’s hotel, Port Hope. The codfish was boiled. After devouring this most incredible dose, he drank, by way of variety, thirty-four glasses of beer. An Irish Soldier’s Joke at the Expense of his General.â€"The Irish soldier must have his joke, even in the sweltering clime of India. Lord Clyde is, or passes, for a Highlander, in popular esti- mation. The day before the last action in Oude, the 5th Fusileers halted on the back of a deep ford, to take off their trousers, and the unusual proceeding led to the following dialogue :â€"Irish Soldierâ€" What are yez sthrippin’ for1? English Soldierâ€"Don’t you see the water will take us up to the hips. Irish Soldierâ€"Be- wail, I tould you the Gineral would never stop till he had made us all Highlanders. Paddy’s Boots.â€"A green sprig from the emerald isle entered a boot and shoe shop to purchase himself a pair of brogans. After overhauling his stock-in-trade with out being able to suit his customer, the shopkeeper hinted that he would make him a pair to order. ‘ An what’ll yer ax to make a good pair of em V was the query. The price was named: the Irishman de- murred, but after a ‘ batin ’ down,’ the thing was a trade. Paddy was about leaving when th« other called after him, asking: ‘ But what size shall I make them, sir V ‘ Och,’ cried Pat promptly, * I don’t mind about the size, at allâ€"make them as large as ye convaneyently can for the money.’ Strange Advertisement. â€" The following has appeared in the Times, Eng- land :â€"‘ To contre-coup.â€"I am puzzled what to do with my daughter when I get her. I had the guarantee of a London schoolmistress, of 23 years’ standing, and yet she was not safe. You know what happened to my money and papers in the heart of the city of London. I want your advice respecting my salary here.â€" I must be cautious, as you know what happened to me in Greenwich for daring to speak my mind. Address E. J. Wil- son, Ennis, Ireland. The Poet and the Poultry.â€" About an hour before the great dinner at the New Town Hall of Newcastle, in ho- nor of Robert Burns, a worthy Scotchman was taken into the room for the purpose of seeing the spread. On viewing the ar- rangements he held up his hands in aston- ishment, and, with enthusiasm beaming from his eyes, exclaimed, ‘ Eh, sirs, if Rab could rise and see what a sicht o’ hens they’ve killed tor him.â€" Daily News. An Evening with Charles Lamb. â€"On the table lay a copy ot Wordsworth. It was printed by Longman about the time of Waterloo, and was got up in the most slovenly manner. By accident it lay open at a part where the sonnet beginning:â€" ‘Alas! what boots the long laborious guest’â€"had been entered with mercantile speed : f Alas what boots,’â€"‘ Yes,’ said Lamb, reading this entry in a dolorous tone of voice, ‘ he may well say that. I paid Hoby three guineas for a pair that tore like blotting-paper when I was leaping a ditch to escape a farmer that pursued me with a pitchfork for trespassing. But why should Wordsworth wear boots in Westmoreland? Pray advise him to pa- tronize shoes.â€"De Quincy. A blind man was looking with much apparent interest at the prints in Robin- •on’s window. 1 Why, my friend, said we, ‘ it seems you are not blind.’ ‘ Blind 1 no, thank God. your honor.’ replied the min, ‘ I have my blessed sight as well as another.’ 1 Then why do you go about led by a dog with a string V asked we.â€" 1 Why, because I heducate dogs for blind men.’ He was.a normal professor. Tlie investigation into this case was resumed on yesterday, as will be recollected, it was partly heard on Monday last. Mr. Robinson, Q. C., appeared for the Crown, Mr. Sidney, instruct- ed by Mr. Charles Fitzgerald, jun., for the defendant. Mr. Porter observed that as Mr. Sidney had not been present on Monday, it might bo well if Mr. Robinson would reiterate the state- ment of the case on which he relied. Mr. Robinson, in accordance with this request said that on the 28th of January, 1858, a summons issued from that office against Mr. Nugent, charging him with being the publish- er of a certain paper entitled ‘ Nu- gent’s correct and genuine Mercan- tile, Weather, and Prophetic Sheet Almanac for 1858,’ the same ‘ be- ing of a sed’tious and libellous na- ture, intended to create alarm, dis- content, and dissat sfaction in the minds of her Majesty’s subjects, and to bring the religion and the laws of the country into hatred and con- tempi.’ Mr. Nugent appeared by counsel on that, occasion and when the charge was partly opened by the learned counsel then represent- ing the Crown, Mr. Curran, acting for the defendent, undertook, on his behalf, that he would enter into re- cognizances to keep the peaceâ€" that he would suppress the publica- tion. and break up the typeâ€"and that for the future he would have nothing whatever to do with any publication of a similar character. The sole object of tlie Crown being to secure the people from what they believed to be a pernicious publica- tion’, to prevent the people’s minds from being excited and influenced by a publication of the character in question, what Mr. Curran proposed was assented to by the gentlemen then representing the Crown. The defendant entered into Ins own re- cognizances in the sum of 3001. to keep the peace, and the Crown ex- pected that he would have faithfully kept the undertaking which he had given. At the time this undertak- ing was given, Mr Nugent was the publisher of an almanac similar to that which was the subject of the present charge. The undertaking had reference both to the sheet and the book almanac, it being, in fact, that no further seditious publications would be issued by the defendant ; but what occurred '( Eearly in the present month appeared a publica- tion entitled, ‘ Nugent's correct and genuine Moore’s Almanac for 1859.’ It contained a good deal of useful in- formation, such as calendar and tide tables, changes in the moon, list, of fairs, and so on. Then there was attractive matter, such as ‘ A splen- did and varied collection of original charades, enigmas, and rebuses, on love, wit, and nationality, from sev- eral talented Irish correspondents’ [laughter], The work was one, therefore, likely to be largely bought up at fairs and markets, and that it was seditious Mr. Nugent took steps to assure those who purchased his book. On the cover he printed the summons issued against him in Jan- uary, 1858, introducing it thus :â€" ‘ The following summons contains the complaint of policeman Daniel Rvan, against Nugent’s sheet al- manac for 1858.’ Then came tho terms of the summons set out at length, which were followed by sev- eral notes of admiration, and at the foot of page nineteen of the almanac, after a second copy of the summons, was the following note:â€"‘This charge, if true, was sufficient to transport any man for his natural life ; but a jury woul i have come to a different conclusion, as no crime was committed in consequence, no section and law broken, no, not even an offensive word spoken except what the learned, counsel and the po- lice officials concerned had used. The Magistrates in Dublin were humane, and some of those in the country acte I as impartial as they could, but some of the police offi- cials were most intolerant. We will employ counsel if again attack- ed, and argue the law of the charge, and if any person be arrested, they will send word at once to Dublin or to the people’s attorney in each town that we may wring justice irom the proper quarter.’ This was a clear intimation to those who sold or those who bought the almanac that if they got into trouble for so doing, they would be defended at the expense of the defendant. The publication he would show was of a libellous and seditious nature, cal- culated to inflame the minds of tho people, to stir up enmity between different classes, and to bring the religion, the laws, and the govern ment of the ^country into contempt. He [Mr. Robinson] would content himself with reading three extracts from the almanacâ€"two in prose, one in poetryâ€"out of many such which it contained. He should state that the ‘dragon’ was meant to repre- sent England, and London was call- ed ‘ Sodom.’ Amongst the predic- tions for February, it was said : â€" ‘On the first of this month Jupiter and Herschel are in the ascendant, with Mars culminating and in quar- lite to the rising satellites! which foreshow that the dragon has been smitten by the sufferings and pray- ers of the people; the Apostolic crown may now be seen pre-emin- ently exalted above the hostile dra- gon, as your redemption beams west-ward from the holy shrines I Pray for the conversion of your enemies, as hope is indigenous to the soil of our hyperborean isle ; buoy up your spirits, as the period will soon arrive when the Lord will • straighten’ them !! The stal worth son in the old [new] world will come to the aid of his persecuted race and country in the old world, when domination and Saxonic in- famy shall stand aghast, waiting to receive the retributive justice of both God and man.’ The obvious pur- pose [continued the learned gentle- man] of that 4 prediction’ was to in- flame the minds of an excitable peo- ple, and encourage them to look for help from America in redressing their imaginary wrongs. Again, the prediction for October was :â€"‘From the position of the Heavenly satel- lites it is veritable that those who have broken the commands will be severely dealt with. From whence came wars and fightings amongst you, because you have condemned and killed the just 1 Your gold and silver is cankered, and shall eat your flesh 1 Forgive, oh! ye people, the murderers of your kings and chief- tansâ€"the plunderers of your for- tresses and churchesâ€"the Irish placebeggars, rackrenters, and ex- terminators who are under the sign of Sagittarius, as scourges in the Di- vine hand to school you into man- hood. but not the physician by whom your bruises shall be healed I I â€"‘ How long, O Lord, dost Thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth Vâ€" Apoc. vi-, 10. Trouble not your heads about hostile knaves or mer- cenary renegades, ‘ wait a little time,’ and pray for the conversion of your harsh stepmother and op- pressor. as it. is in the excess of your weakness that the Lord will raise you up with His Almighty arm, as He did tbe holy Judith, the Hebrew widow, who prayed to Him. Let a bear, robbed of her whelps, meet a man sooner than a spy in his follyâ€" an hypocrite with his mouth de- stroyeth his neighbor I Ireland re- joice, as the prosperity gleams forth from the new country over the At- lantic.’ The tendency of that paragraph was similar : and it was to be re marked, that the defendant placed the initials of his name at the end of the predictions. Amongst the se- ditious poetry was a rebus by ‘Mr. P. M’D. Elphin, to Mr. James Smith Redcross, county Wicklow’ : ‘ Oh ! sacred muses of the holy shrine Thou loved i’ernases with the muses nine, Assist my theme, new energies inspire, And lend this verse *.hy patriotic tire. ‘I ask it for my bleeding country's cause, Crushed down and spat upon by alien laws, That legislate, but to enslave us more ; And glory in our thraldom o’er and o’er. ‘ The Queen, God bless , wielder of the realm, Stands as it were »vith hand upon the helm ; The ‘ Privy Council’ from her prayers, and then. Her Ministers of State will sayâ€"Amen. There is a blank after * The Queen, God bless Probably it was intended for ‘ God bless us I’ * Oh ! vile delusion, mockery of Stateâ€" Is man so stupid not to love or hate ?

The rebus went onâ€" ‘A messengei from Yankey fast hurrying on, With ample tidings like tho great St. John, And in the grasp, so firmly clutched about, A manuscript of old! little doubt. ‘ For ages sealed, he brings to Erin dear, To burst her bonds, to smile, and shed a tear, And to restore our rightsâ€"our lawsâ€"the whole, One word contained it in the ancient scrole. ‘ To find this word, just see what Erin lost.

Put the t>Iue to soak in cold water over night ; solved in the water, Then mix both and add hot water to reduce to a proper milky comstency, and apply with a brush. It is probably better to keep the liquid warm over a fire or by the occasional addition of hot water. A single cont; of this is described, as being equal to a double coat of lime white- wash, while it is far more brilliant and pure, and will not rub off. The Scottish American Journal DEVOTED TO THE Interests of Scotchmen in America, AND TO THE DISSEMINATION OF SCOTTISH LITERATURE AND ART ! CONSIDERING the multiplicity of news- papers in America, it has to many been a matter of surprise that the numerous body of Scottish residents should have been so long un- represented. To supply this desideratum, No. I, of the Scottish American Journal was published oil Saturday, August S, 1857. and is low continued weekly. The primary object of the Journal is to fur- nish its readers regularly with the news of their native country. It presents a weekly re- cord of all events of interest occurring in Scoi- iaud, and its subscribers are in this way as fully Informed of what is transpiring at home as if they were in regular receipt of an old-country newspaper. Scottish questions will bo discussed with intelligence and impartiality in the editor- ial columns, and the sentiments of the leading parties on these subjects will be fairly repre- sented and commented upon. In the literary and miscellaneous department of the paper, while merit and talent will be ap- preciated from whatever country they emanate, the Scottish element will preponderate. Tales, sketches, and poetry, illustrative of the Scottish character, and of a nature fitted to call forth t ie sympathies of Scotchmen both at home and abroad, will occupy a conspicuous place, in this department, the co-operation of various distinguished authors, possessing unrivalled facilities for the task, has been secured- In politics, the Journal will occupy a thoroughly independent position, alike free from party bias and national prejudice. In or- der to ii terest its readers wherever situated, it will take a broad view of topics of this class, choiditig those of a merely local nature, except in so far as they may p;esent points of import- ance to the general public Questions involv- ing tbe interests of British residents in the United Slates and in the British Provinces, will be specially considered, and it is behoved that the information and news of the Journal on this impo tant class of subjects will be such as shall command attention. The Scottish American Journal, will in every respect be conducted in an efficient and busit.ess like manner, with every requisite guarantee for its permanence. The proprietors, who are responsible parties, resident in New York anil elsewhere, therefore look with con- fidence for tho support of their numerous coun- trymen in all parts of America, and they will be glad to communicate with respectable par- ties at a distance who may be disposed to co- operate with them for the establishment of the paper in their respective localities. A. publication estab'ished with these objects must of course look for support mainly from those connected by birth or descent with the country whose current history it chronicles ; but as the broad basis of tiiis journal necessi tates, in addition, tho treatment of all import- ant questions affecting American interests, and as its literature will be cosmopolitan, it is hoped that even to the general reader its columns will not appear unentertainin<r or profitless.

MORSE, the inventor of Morse’s Indian Root Pills, has spent the greater portion of his life in travelling, having visited Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as North Americaâ€" has spent three years among tho Indians of our Western countryâ€"it was in this way that the Indian Root Pills were first discovered. Dr. Morse was the first man to establish tbe fact that all diseases arise from IMPURITY OF THE BLOODâ€"that our strength, health and life depended upon this vital fluid. When tho various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with the dif- ferent functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted and diseased ; thus causing all pains, sickness and distress of every name ; our strength is exhausted, our health we are deprived of, and if nature is not assisted in tnrowing off the stagnant humors, the blood will become choked and cease to act, and thus our light of life will be forever blown out. 1 low important then that we should keep the various passages of the body free and open. And how pleasant to us that we have it in our power to put a medicine in your reach, namely, Morse’s Indian Root Pills, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around the mouu- atnious cliffs in Nature’s Garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man, Ono of the roots from which these Pills are made is a Sudorific, which opens (ho pores of the skin, and assists Nature in throwing out tho finer parts of the corruption within. The second is a plant which is an Expectorant, that opens and unclogs the passage to the lungs by copious spitting. The third is a Diuretic, which gives ease and double strength to tho kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw large amounts of im- purity from the blood, which is then thrown out bountifully by the urinary or water passage, and which could not have been discharged in any other way. The fourth is a Cathartic, and accompanies the other properties of the Pills while engaged in purifying the blood ; the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by ihe other outlets, are thus taken up and From the above, it is shown that Dr. Morse’s Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become united with the blood, for they find their way to every part, and complete- ly rout and release the system from all impuK*v, and the life of the body, which is the blooa, becomes porfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain is driven from tho system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes so pure and clear. The reason why people are so distressed when sick, and why so many die, is because they do not get a medicine which will pass to the afflicted parts, and which will open tho natural passage for tho disease to be cast out; hence, a large quantity of food and other matter is lodged, and tho stomach and intestines are literally overflowing with the corrupted mass ; thus undergoing disagreeable fermentation, constantly mixing with the blood, which throws the corrupted matter through every vein and artery, until life is taken from tho body by disease. Dr. Morse’s PILLS have added to themselves victory upon victory, by restoring millions of the sick to blooming health and hap- piness. Yes, thousands who have been racked or tormented with sickness, pain and anguish, and whose feeble frames have been scorched by the burning elements of fever, and who have been brought, as it were, within a step of he silent grave, now stand ready to testify that they would have been numbered with the doad, had it not been for this great and wonderful medicine, Morse’s Indian Root Pills. After one or two doses had been taken, they were as tonished, and absolutely surprised, in witnessing their charming effects. Not only do they give immediate ease and strength, and take away all sickness, pain and anguish, but they at once go to work at the foundation of the disease, which is the blood. Therefore, it will be shown, especially by those who use these Pills, that they will so dense and purify, that diseaseâ€" that deadly enemyâ€"will take its flight, and the flush of youth and beauty will again return, and the prospect of a long aud happy life will cherish and brighten your days.

The reputation of these very celebrated vege- table remedies is now unequalled by any others in this country or in Europe.

The object of the Woman’s Advocate is th©' opening out of new spheres of employment far- women.who have so long suffered the distress attendant upon the insufficient remuneration, and a too limited number of occupations. The paper endeavors to collect all informa- tion that can be important to women, relative te- cccupations better suited to them, and which will yield a more comfortable subsistence than the few unhealthy trades upon which they have been so far obliged to depend for exis- tence. The Advocate employs, in the various de- partments of the business, many women, who. are paid for their labor as high prices as are paid to men for the same amount of work. To the editor and proprietor the past three years 111 which she has been engaged in this work, have been years of anxiety and toil ; but the enterprize has been carried 011 with the hope of doing good to othors, and finally pushing tho business to a successful point, when it may re- munerate all concerned. With this hope sh® enters the field for another year, trusting to the many assurances of friends in all pnrts of tho country, for aid and co-operation. terms of subscription : For One Copy, one year................$2 0ft For Five Copies,.......................8 Oft For Ten Copies............................00 TO POSTMASTERS.
