Uj Hearers: Dirigent labor is not oaly necessary to procure the necessities of life, and promote health, bat it is one of the commands of oar great Creator; and scarcely a chapter can hi found in sacred writ, which does not exhort, command, or advise us to labor. From the creation it has been ordained that man shall ram Ms bread by the sweat of his brow, and a deviation from that law is certain to meet with a corresponding punishment either by impairing oar health, forming ruinous habits, or letting the precious moments of our existence slip fam our grasp unimproved, thereby hating less lime lo prepare for the great, endless e:erni:y, which we aro to enter upon at the close of ii-e. "Labor while it is day," sanh the scriptures, "for the night comeih whu no man can work." Ilfones is not only injurious, but is of it-elf a vice f the worst description. It is the nw'ih'K A drunkenness, 6laudor, thieving, gambling, and dissipation of all kind.-; in fart it may bo called Satan's Prime Minister; and if his Satanic Majesty were deprived of thU most faithful sarvant, sin would soon bo banished from the world. Industry is tho Creator's great Physh-ian, and would often cure when all oiher doc ors fail. Let the invalid who is ihooping with emit, the "blues," or over trashy novels, call upon this, physician, and wo warrant a speedy cure. Seek him early in the raoruing, before the sun baa streaked the horizon with its golden tints, and gt the prescription adapted to your case; dig op the rich soil with your spade, hoe the overgrown weeds out of your garden: make the folds resound with the rousic of your ax; gaze upon the lark as she soars o" high to meet the rising sun; and your lost appetite will return with renewed vigor. Your "blues" will vanish like tho morning mist, and your whole system will leel animation it m not known beforo for yeara; tho blod will flow more freely thro' your i 4, and nature will resume its wonted nviXM.i-mn throughout your body. Iud..i'.ico is excusable in ro man, what ever mr,y be his situation in life. If rich, industry U necessary to preserve those riches; if poor, to lay , up a store against the day of adversity, which is certain to oome, sooner or later, and perhaps when least eipeeud. Thus, it becomes nil to make hay. while the sun shines. Let no one eicuse himself becauso ho cannot do this or that, or docs not fill such and such Station. -There u room for all to work, and if you cannot labor in one station, you can in another. Vhat man has done,

man can do;" and labor of any description is honorable, while idleness is a disgrace ?nd a wrong upon the world which is entitled to tho benefit cf our industry. Young man, arise and shako oft" the cobwebs and rust of indolence which has been accumulating so long upon you, sapping the very germ of your existence. Form th resolution that now and henceforth you will work, face the wintry blast and the summer heat 'with a will," and Dame Nature will give you strength as it may be regained. No people are more healthy than the Swedes, or robust than the inhabiianta of the Alp, and yet no na'.ion is so much exposed to nature's great elements. The incessant toil which is necessary to procure the daily wauls of lifo in those exüemo Northern climates, give a rosy tint to tho cdivek and a bright "parkte to the exe, which denotes Heaven's choicest gift, ijo d health; while .in the sunny south, where nature provides so bountifully that but lulls care is required of nino, thtrre we 6nd him languishing, pining away, with

pale cheek and sunken eye. dragging out a miserable lifo cf sluggish indolence; and, lon before time can sprinkle his locks with iray, he sinks into the grave, without havinj; commenced the work desinc. for him bv Providence. Thus we 6ee it is necepsary for all to labor, not only because it is a duty we owe to ourselves, our families, and m.tnkind generally, but as a promoter of health, and a prolonger of our existence. We have the promise that a man who is dili 'cut iu his calling shall stand before Princes, and not bvforo mean men. Mav we labor so diiigent as to deserve thu'honor, and prospeii y be the reward of our industry. So mole it be. "Meet Lizzie at Six." That was .ill the despa;eh' contained. Four litlli words; yet what pxci:env;nt they caused iu the household at Maple Cottage; the tinier, sober household, whoso members, at the moment of vs leet ptio.i, were on the p i:it of retiring for the night. M?et Lizzie. at six." Was our darling indeed so near u&? Two years and three m nths had passed since uureyes had been gladdened by her gulish beauty, since her voice had mingled with the bird music that floated all the long summer days among the maples. Two years and three months she had been buried anion;; books in a far awayci'y, bowing her sunny curls over algebra, geometry and bo'any, French and Latin; patiently at first, because her patents desired it, af erwards cheerfully, to pl-ase the teachers she had learned to love, and at last zealously, from pure thirst for the treasure the studies unlocked to hor. But it was over now, these toilsome years, and was on her way to usouco more--our Lizzieour pet and pride we should "meet her at six." She had left B. in tho morning; had jour, neyed without stopping all day; this we guessed at once; and at eight in the morning, finding a hasty opportunity, sho had telegraphed to us the words above. At six, the eastern train arrived at our station: Lizzie was to rida all nbht for the sake of reaching home thus early. It was like her; impulsive, warm-hearted child that she wail How little we sl pt that" night! What slight sounds aroused us; how early we were astir even the baby, and the whitehaired grandfather. "Meet Lizzie, eh?" he said; "aye, indeed will we!" and the old man's voice caught a youthful tone, nud his crutches an clastic movement, as tut iiia vi uivnvo mi uiiatib wiutvui he hobbled abont tha house, giving as if all tho responsibility rested o orders, on him, to bo sure. There was Hunnnh, too, bewildering the mother aboui breakfast. "Did Lizzie like coffee or cocoa best? And would sho make biscuits or waffles?" And the mother, smiling all the time, nodded her head to everything, and went hurrying about, with th gridiron in ono hand, and thecgj? boiler in tho other, coaxing Fannie to curl the baby's hair, and looking at tho clock every five minutes. But Fannie, with mysterious apronfulls of something was flitting up stairs and down, leaving a book hero, a flower there, a daguerreotype on the table, or a rosy-cheeked . fall apple in the windowsomf thing for Lizzie to see and smile at. Only tho father seemed undisturbed. .We noticed, to be sure, the dimples in his cheeks, which Lizzie always said she made with her fingers when she was a babe, looked deeper when he smiled, and that his voico was a .rflo less steady when he told Thomas to brino; the horses; but he did not like to bo considered a demonstrative man, go we looked significantly at each other, and said nothing. Still waters are sometimes very deep. At last the carriage came around, and we got in; two of us beside the father, who was to drive. Thsre was room for two more; but it was quite out of her line, the mother said, to go on a dashing drive before breakfast: so we left her on "the piazza, with the pickle-dish in her hand, and wiping her eyes with her apron. ft was a half mile to the depot, and the sun not quire risen wfien we started. How

balmy the air was, that soft September morning. Wc thought, t'gotists as we were, iu our own happiness,- that nature sympathized with us. It seeing as if half the morning would have been wasted, had riot Lizzio been coming hom. The cars had not arrived, when we arrived at the station, but we heard tho whistle of the locomoiive, not very far distant; those few sweet waning momen s what a world of blessed anticipation they held! At last the train came up sapped We looked at the windows; only a row of sad faces! Lizzio must boon the other side. A few passengers came out, solemn faced and silent. We pressed foiward so did those who were troin out of the tiaiH. -The conductor appeared and waved everybody back, then motioned to somebody in the car. Two men came out and f lowly descended the sieps, bearing a lifolcss body a woman; her features covered by a veil. They bore iL into : he Saloon, and laid it reveiently upon the 6ofa. Stilt the conductor wared tho crowd back, except our party. He knew us. and turned away his t'?ice as we approached: Then we knew how it wnsjalh'xcept the father; he could not b'iheTel Firmly- he raised the veil f;om the dead face. 0 God! All merciful! Is it thu3 we meet thee, Lizzie, darling, our best beloved, idol of our heart! In a brü'f time we learned the story. Learned how the Angel of the Ltd hai met Lizzie before us, in the siill twilight of that autumn morning, and afer ono ping, terrible we know, but s:ort. had wahed her gentle sphit to those who wailed for heriu tho home of angels! l the very last stopping place Lizzie left the cr.r, to procure some food for a little child that had fretted all night, i.i the arms of its weaiied mother. Th tram siopped bat a moment; it was dusk, and none of the officials had seen her lave it. She returned hastily to find it moving, made a mis-s'ep, foil forwrd ami the rest it iu common talc, such as tht newspapers

chronicle every week. The beau'iful head with its sunny curls was w hat we saw'at the station house! A Letter from Cicu. Siiields. The followixir let er from (ienetal Janice Shields, one of the United Ötates Ser.aiors from Miuueso a, ad J reaped to the President of the Minnesota Senate, has been ijiven to the public through the democratic journal at St. Paul. Wahinutojc. Feb. 8. 1858. Mr Dear Fkiesd: There arc circumstances coiuievied wkh our treat merit hi"H as a Suite, which 1 think it but tight to communicate to you in plain words, and which you have my permission to commitnicate to our fiinda. 1 have felt it my duty to be piudent and circumspect in word and deed since mv arrival in this ci:v so as not to ptvj tJice, in any manner, the interests of our young Suite. This has beon the course of our whole delegation; and yet there aro times when we need all our self-restraint to keep down our indignation against the policy pursued towards Minnesota. Upon our arrival, early in January, we placed our State constitution in the hands of the President to be transmitted to Congress. On the 11th of January he transmitted it by message to the Senate. The message, as you must all have noticed, ooutains no expression in favor of the admisn of Minnesota as a State. This being the usual course in ordinary cases, it occasioned little or no surprise in this instance. It was promptly referred to the Committee on Tertitoiies. Tho Territorial committee is composed of Douglas, of Illinois, Jones, of Iowa, Sebastian cf Arkansas, Gren, of Missouri, Coliomer, of Verrmut and Wade, of Ohio. Here it encoUnteied opposition, based, as I understand, upon tho fact of our having had two independently organized conventions, and that a rcsjority of tho wholo delegates had not signed the constitution. These objections seem to have been urged by both northern and s iuthern men. Our written explanatiocs, showing that both bodies united on the same constitution, thu making it a faithful expression of the united voice of tne whole, were ueemea sumcieni on tins point. A new objection was then mooted by the southern men on the committee, namely: that it an enabling act were necessary, Minnesota, not having in all respects complied with suoh act, coull not be admitted. This was not seriously designed to defeat our admission, but merely intended to embarrass Judge Douglas and hii friend, irho insisted on" the necessity of an enabling act in Kansas. These difficulties having all been finally removed, the chairman of the committee reported on the 26th of January in favor of the admission of Minnesota as a State. The bid Tor this purpose attests the churlish spirit with which a majority of the committee welcome Minnesota into the Union. It gives ns one Representative only, until our final returns show what our population entitles us to; whereas, a decent respsct tor our constitutional convention, ana the constitution of the State, might have induced them to let all our representatives take their scat6, until the completion of the census should show whether we are entitled to the constitutional uumber or not. The implication of the committee ought to have been in favor of the corrotne6S of tho constitution on this point, instead of boing adverse to it. '.

On the 1st of February, Judge Douglas moved to take up the Minnesota bill in the Senate. This gave r ise t-j a spirited debate in which Crittenden. Douglas, Hale, and other, urged with force anJ eloquence the claims of Mmneso a to imm'; dia'o admission. Green, of Missouri, insisted on delay; Mason, of VTirgi:iia, declared, at length, that, as the. L-compton constitution was soon to be before them, they could not consent to the admission of Minnssota as a separate measure. This was evidently an open avowal of tho policy determined upon by the advocates of tha Lecompton constitution. The admission of Minnesota is to be made, it appears, to depend upon the admission of Kansas. 1 cannot yet believe that Congress will commit such a wrong upon a people who are guiHcss of ai.y otfence against the mnjs?y of the law or the authority of the girument. Lik? every great wrong, it will also prov to be an act of folly; for I gteatly mistake the spirit of tho people of Minnesota, if they do not, with one heart and with one mind, resist such an outmgo upon their consiitu tfonal rights. I regret that the lil coul l not b'3 pressed to a vote, 6o that wo might know with entiro certainty who, amongst the representatives of tho sovereign Slates of this Union, could do such injustice to the soveroign people of Minnesota, because the happened at the moment to have our people in their power. On the 2d of February, the President's message, communicating tho Lecompton constitution, was transmitted to Congress. This message is now before the country. Unlike the mesngo in the Minnesota case, it urges the admission of Kansas upon Congress, in a lengthy, labored, and, I will add, able argument. I find no fault with this. I cannot bring myeelf to condemn the President, even where my convictions of right compel mo to diSer from him. I entertain the liveliest feelings of friendship for him, and regret, from my inmost soul, that he ha permitted hi3 own honest judg

ment to be biased by the suggestion of self ish mn, of inferior parts and questionable ir.'f-'gritv. In tho case of Minnesota there was no li igated political question was called for Lxcuuve recommendation; whereas, in Kansas, an unfortunate sectional struggle invested the question with a national but hii natural prominence, which made it the duty of the President to express a decided opinion on the subject, bull, it has not failed to elicit remark that the Minnesota constitution, which Is the legitimste off spring of the wholo people of Minnesota, has not received the compliment of a pass mg nonce even irom the. .executive organ, the Union, while .he constitution of Kan sas, which a great many honest people con si Ier the fraudulent offspring of a factious minority, should be urged upon Congress with all tne weight and authority of tho ad ministr.vi n. We have fallen on strange times. I cannot venture a prediction as to tho future. The peoplo of Minnesota will do well to fortify their minds against any undue excitement. You may depend upon one thinj, let what wili happen, I mean, to the best of my poor abilities, to maintain the honor and dignity of Minne sota. I mean to resist wrong, let it come from what quarter it may; wronjr to the people of Kansas wrong to the people of Minnesota wronj to the people of the North, or wrong to the South, I will resist. either in the Senate or out of the Senate, with all my heart and and all my strength, so long as God is pleased to spare my life to mv count! y. Your friend, JAMES SHIELDS. Hon R G. McRPiir, President of tha Senate. ' How Washington Behaycd when he was in the Wrong. An incident in The Virginians, representing Washington as ready to accept a challenge, has led Lislie'i Illustrated Pa per to reprint the following pertinent anec dote from Wecms' Gossippmg Lifo .of Washington J' 'In 1751, Washington was stationed at Alexandria with his regiment, the only one of the colony, of which he was Colonel.There happened to at thin time an election in the town, for members of the Assemble, and the contest ran high between Colonel George Fairfax and Mr. Elzey. Washington was a warm friend of Colonel Fairfax, and Mr. Payne headed the friends of Mr. Elzny. A dispute taking place in the court-house yard, Washington, at this time not twen'y-two years f age, contrary to his usual manner, bicame excited, and, what was still more uncommon, said something that offended Mr. Payne, whereupon the latter gentleman, 'though but a cub in size raised Ins sturdy hickory, and by a single blow brough Washington .to the ground. "Several of Washington's officsrs being present, they whipped out their irons in an instant, and it was supposed there would be murder off hand. To make bad worse, the members of the regiment, hearing how their commander had bees treated, bolted out of the barracks, every man with his weapon, threatening vengeance on those who dared to knock down their beloved Colonel. Happily for Mr. Payne and party, Washington recovered time enough to go out and meet his enraged soldiers, and, after thankisg them for their expression' of attachment, assured them that ho was, not; hurt in the Kv;, and hftggod them, asMhev

loved him and their duty, to return to their barracks. As to Washington himself he went to his room, and finding, on raatuie reflecifoii, thrt he had been the aggressor, ho determined to mako Mr. Pay no honorable reparation by asking l is pardon on the morrow. No EQvncr lu.d i.e made this noble resolution than ho iccovered his natural calmness of manner, dressed himself and went to a ball, behaving as if nothing had happened. "The next day he went to a tavern and wrote a polite note to Mr. Payne, requesting to j-ee him. Mr. Payne presumed tho import of it was a challenge for a duel, and repaired to the placo appointed for the meeting, expecting to s?e a pair of pistols introduced. But conceive l.is surprise when, upon entering the chain b.r where Washington was, he decover?d a decanter of wine and a glass upon the table, and upon his entering Washing'on aruse and in a very friendly manner met him, and presented his hand, saying: Mr. Payne, to err sometimes is nature, to rectify error is always glory. I find I wa s wrong in the. affair yosti day; you have had, I think, some sa;ifociion, and, if you think that is sufficient, here's my haud let us be fiends.' It is only -ecessary to say, that from this time Mr. Piyne become one of Washington's most enthusiastic admirers and friends. If il.ia conduct had not been deemed in Washington lo nrisc from magnimmity and net from fear, then he could not have become tha imn:ortal hero he is regarded ia history."

Country Crirl?. Mrs. Vicioria Fuller, in the Ohio Cid tivittor, in a sisicrly wsy, thus talks to country gir ls. The farmers daughters ar soon to bo tha lifo as well a3 tho pride of the country; a glorious race of women which no other land can show. I seek uot to flatter them, for before that they can become this, they will have to make carntst efforts of ono or two kinds. There are some who depreciate their condition, and some who have a take priJe in it, because they dmand more consideration than they merit, A want of intelligence upon all subjects, and cf refined education, is mor3 necessary in a country, than a to srn-bred girl, in this ago cfbook and newspapers. Many 'girls are discouraged because the.y cannot be snt away from home to boarding schools, but men of superior minds and knowledge of the world, would rathcrjhave for wives, utrmen well and properly educated at home. And this education can be had where tho desire is not wanting A bste for reading doe3 wonders, and ati earnest thirst after knowledge is almost certain to attain a sweet draught wf tha pierian spring. There is a farmers daughter in this very room in which I am writing, a beautiful, refined andj intellectual woman, whosa in girlhood books was not r.3 plentiful as now, and who gained education under circumstances that would have discouraged any but one who hae as trad a love for study. I will state why I think the country girls are yet to prove the hopa cf the country The women of towns and cities are becoming so nudiversally unhealthy, and almost uuiversally extravagant, fojjish nnd fashionable, the men are almost in dispair of obtaining wives who are no t invalids, and providing them with what they dercind. Unless the young man has a fortune (good or bad) to ba the inheritor of wealth, ho must spend tho best bloom of his youth to get something to Start on,' r.s peoph are expected to begin now-a-days. Many eveo in high places would go to the country for their choice if they met there equal refinement and intelligence. Women are prepar ing to take a noble stand in history, nnd they cannot do it in ignorance. Town girls have the advantage of mora highly polished manuers aid greater accomplishments, but country girls have in finitely more to recommend uiem as rival 3 of their fair sisters. Thev have more truth, nousehold knowledge nnd economy, health and consequently beauty, simplicity, affec tion, and freshuesa of impulse and thought. When they have cultivated minds, thero are more chances in their favor for good sense and real ability, because somuch is not commanded by the frivOlites of society, the added lustre of 'foreign accomplish ments could easily be caught by such a mind fram a very little contact with the muses. I would not speak as though our far mers daughters were deficient in education. Many brilliant scholars and talented women are found among them. In New Eng land this is especially so; but I would seek to awaken the ambition of all to become that admired and favored class which they will but unite refined with their excellent graces. , A sweet country house, wtth roses and honeysuckles trained to'climb over it; with good taste, beauty and intelligence withal; toil enough to insuro good health, and leisure to court acquaintance, with books and flowers and the loveliness of nature, peace and plenty, and love ia surely one of the paradises which Heaven has left for the at tainment of man A ceatleman was speaHnxr the other day of tho kindness of hh friends visitincr Mm one old aunt in particular,' visited him twice a year and- staid - six months each time.

Thirty-Iifth Congress First Session. MB Washington, Mireh 15. Mr. Wade recapitulated the circ unslnnces itt'.cnding the formation of tin Tpeka ConstiLuiijM, contending tor its legality. The President, he sr.il had denou.ictid the framers of thh Constitution as rebels; ii ro, i Ik re v. era many more such in Kansas. Ilö stood there as their charapt n. If they were ich Is, so were the majority cf the Hons?; so was h; G.mi. Chss was a tnrilor lor piescniiug that cv.nsiitution to the Senate. It sceiiU'd that everybody who :ou!d not submit to bo ticm .td oa uy border ruSians are to be denounced a3 triit-ros. If this thi.ig ia co i:t:iu3 1 aid he, th?re wi 1 bo c;vi wav. Mr. Wade also said you an no uvjiq force a State in to this Union wi;h a constitution not the choice of its peoplo than yoa can force a State out t f the Union. Both dccttiites ate revoluti u ary, and distasteful to thf Aroerfoa i people. What has been sai 1 about enablig act drives nobody. He (Wade) would not admU the uecesi!y cf an enabling act. The paopis will settle the matter ia three days, if permitted.' Say to the peo'le, cho33 you.' own Coristiution, and ia o:i h.ur tha re will bi peace. The opposite caurse will k'.ii God knows where. Mr. Masoa thou spek--. He traced at great length the progressive rggressioaou slavery from ti e le volution to tl o Died Scot', dicision. A'.ludicg to the h t'er hi quoted Chief Jttstico Mari Lall. who otico suiJ the greatest curse an angry God could leave to an eriing people w.ia adepeudent judiciary, and yet, said Mr. Mason, theSor.itor from New York talks of re-rganizirg the courts so as lo make them sectional r.r.d subservient to the fluctuation cf political parties Mr. Seward replied tint he had büon engaged in prepaiing a mctmere tb organize the Supreme Circuit Courts in suoh a way as to. rccgnizs ths representation cf the several Stales po as to secure the befer administration of justice and greater dispacth of buiines9, When matured he would btin it iu. It will ba conservative in charaoter at the same lime jast. He added that he hoped the principals of the Court would bo ia conformity with the Constitution. The deba.e was continued at a great length when the Senate adjourned. Horas. Mr. Gilmore introduced a bill to prevent Unnecessary surplus ia tho Treasury and to equalize grants of hud among the several S.ate3. Referred. Mr. Gilmore of N. C. also asked consent to iatroduce a bill for the jvlmissdon of Kar sis. Kot granted. Mr. Lieter introduced a bill providing for the election of Post Masters by the people.

Fire in a School Hour A fow minutes after J P. M. yistrday, a large number of the pupils of publie School No. 39, in West Eighteenth Street, b'tswfren Eighth and Ninth avenues, saddenlycamo rushing ftorn the building creaming-. Tire,' 'Fire at tho top of their oicrg.-7 The entiro neighborhood was soonla tha wildest excitement, and the parents and friends of tho children, greatly alarmed hurried to the place. . Tho fireman wsro speed ly on the spot, but fortunately their services were not needed. The cause of tho alarm was soon ascertained. The clothes of Mis3 Saah L. Lew is, one of tho teachers, had caught re from tin stove in ore of the chus rooms. There was a very hot firo in the stove, and Miss Lewis opened tbo door to diminish the beau After doing so, sho turned around to pais into tho school room, sha discoverd that herdroishad taken fire, and endeavored unsuccessfully to extinguish the flames by pressing her skirts' together. Almost instantly her clothes were all in a blaze, nnd becomirg frightened, she rushed frntically up the aisle, on botii sides of which the children wore scaled, crvinj, 'Oh! cavo me! Oh save mo!' . Tho children at cr.ee became intensely oxcited and commenced running for tiro door and hurrvinif down stairs in the wild est confusion. The screams cf Miss Lewis soon brought iln other ttachers to her assistances. Miss Crowcll, the principal, with Rreat presence of mind closed the doors immediately to prevent the further escape cf the children. Tho teachers threw their shawls around tho person of their unfortunato associate, succeeded in extinguishing the flame. The excitement wa9 such, however, that Miss Crowell directly afterwards fainted, and it was some time before she was restored to concciousnera. Miss Lewis was speedly conveynd to the . residence of her parents, No. 150 West Eighteenth street, where proper medical aid was promptly rendered. She was found to be severely burnejl, and her physicians have but very little hope of her recovery She is only 16 year of age. and had been employed inthe school as a teach t but two days. Severely bruised, but none seriously injured. " BXATZX Or THZ TEACHER. Hiss Lewis was so severely iijured that 6he died about 9 o'clock last evfi.ing the teachera appear to have shared the panic In common with pupils. One of them experienced a series fointing fits. MUs Luwii was but 18 years of age, and been employed iu the school only a few days, ik vgh she has, for upward of two years, been at teaching in the echools of tho Six'eont'i ward. ' ' '
