So to-dav, our anticipations were not realized. There is not in the New York Legislature that appearance of intellect that air of business that one would expect from a body having charse of the vast interests nf thi rrt State.

Ye aon o f France awake to glory! Harkt Hark! what myriads bid you rise! Your children, wives, nd grandsires hoary; Behold their teara and bear their cries! Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding, W ith hireling hosts, a ruffian band, Affright and desolate the land, While liberty and peace lie bleeding? To arms! To arms! ye brave! The avenging sword unsheath! March onl march on! all heart resolved On victory or death. Now, now, the dangerous storm is rolling. Which treacherous kings confederate raise: The dogs of war, let loose, are howling, And, lo! our flehltand cities blaze. And shall we basely view the ruin, While lawless force, with guilty stride, Spreads desolation far and wide, W ith crimes and blood Us hands Imbruing? To arms! to arms! Ye brave! dee. With luxury and pride surrounded, The bold, insatiate despots dare Their thirst of gold and power unbounded To meet and vend the light and air. Like beasts ofburden would they load us, Like gods would bid their slaves adorc But man is man, and who is more? Then shall they longer lash and goad us? To arms! to arms! ye brave! &c. O Liberty, can man resign thee, Once having felt thy generous flame? Can dungeons, bolts, or bars confine thee, Or whip thy noble spirit tame. Too long the world has wept, bewailing, That Falsehood'sdaggcr tyrants wield; But Freedom Is our sword and shield, And all their arts are unavailing, To arms! to arms! ye brave! &c. There's Room enough for All. What need of this fuss and strife, Each warring with his brother? Why should we In the crowd of life Keep trampling down each other? ts there no goal that can be won Without a squeeze to gain It No other way of getting on But scrambling to obtain it? Oh? fellow-men, hear wisdom, then, In friendly warning call. "Your claims divide the world Is wide There's room enough for all?" What if the swarthy peasant And No lie Id for honest labor? He need not idly stop behind. To thrust aside his neighbor, There Is a land with sunny skies, Which gold for toil is giving. Where every brawny hand that trios, Its strength can grasp a living. Oh? fellow-mon remember, thou, Whatever chance befall, The world Is wide where those abide There's room enough for all? From poisonM air ye breathe in courts, And typhus. tainted alleys, Go forth and dwell where health resorts, tn fertile hills and vallvrs, Whereevery arm that clears a bough Finds plenty in attendance. And every furrow of the plough A step to Independence. Oh, hasten, then, from fever'd den. And lodgings cramp'd and small; The world is wide in lands beside, T here's room enough for all. 1 n this fair region, far away, Will labor And enjoyment A fair dey's work, a fair day's pay, And toil will earn employment. What need then of this daily strife, here each wan with his brother? Why need we, through the crowd of life, Keop trampling dow n each other?

The.

gave the first embryonic manifestations of what has now become the established Shaker creed. They were sometime greatly moved in body, leaping, dancing, running, trembling, &,c., &.; hence their name "ii ankers. 'T Owing to bitter persecution of the new faith no regular order of religion or worship waa esuoiisnea, nnis aoout the year 17 iU, when 1 l!,e,r Pnt light and teetimon.es of ealva "on weri by pc ml manifestation from ,l'lw". revealed to Ann Lee, the great fona- ; der, a nd apostle ef their creed. Before this 1 V " 1 r .. uuwevcr. Bevnrai unauccessiui attempt were made in France to- organize a societv and torms oi worship, intolerable persecution at last drove the few followers to England, about the year 1706, where they flourished and receded altercately, until about the year 1747, when the society received a new impulse, and a a amber of followers were added to their little band. Fom that time their progress seems to have been gradsal, but mere permanent, nnlrl the inspirations of Ann Lse succeeded in building Mem up asaa acknowledged and visible church. Ann Lee wa born in Manchester, England on the 29th day of Febrrwr. 1736. II... . ... . " te beTenU T.TU? ZIVZ her earliest years seems to have manifested extraordinary talents ano great piety. Her eariy uie was spent in the manufactories of Manchester About the year 1753, she became acquainted with some memlers of the Shaker sect. Making herself acquainted with their creed, site found it in remarkable accordance with her own views, and imme diately joined their order. She seems to have been peculiarly affected as the germs of Uie religion she was destined to proclaim, were gradually developed to the living light of salvation within her. For a period of nine years, she at times suffered the mux Hinm. Efp! , P"Uod was compleclear pronfielic visions !

On the 19th ot Way, 1774, they set sail from Liverpool, on board the ship, Maria, Capt Smith, of New 1 ora. 1 They arrived safely at New York, after voyage of about three months. Their poverty dia not permit the immediate establish ment of an exclusive church and domain.

Her lose was deeply aud sincerely felt by her followers. She seems to have been one of the most extraordinary women me world ever produced. Notwithstanding the persecutions, physicicl abuses, nnd sufferings she endured because of her peculiar teachings, she seem to have maintained a firm and unwavering adhereuce to her faith. There are now aocl-ties of the Shaker in varioua parts of the United Stales, numbering in all about 5000 persons. There is one a few miles southeast of this city numbering from 150 to 300 persons. Tbe Shaker adopt the Bible as Uie basis of their religion.

COWe observe that some of our house builders are using a new article in painting their houses the New Jersey Zinc paint. It is perfectly pure and whita and in all respects superior to white lead. It is manufactured from zinc and is used in the same manner ihai..A Although costing a trifle more per pound than the lead, it is said the same amount covers one tnira more surface than the ieaa, ana nence is much cheaper than the latter article. If these facts are true lead should be entirely disused in painting on account of iu poisonous properties. The Zinc is perfectly innocuous. Dr. A. Carter is now using it on hU new building which by the way, is a beautiful piece of architecture.
