T., FELLOW CITIZENS : We are the in- habitants of a highly favored country. We enjoy the blessings ot a govern- ment, created by the union of sovereign otates. We have presented to the world a practical, illustration , of the principle that man is capable of "self- government. ... ' Let us endeavor then to mate a prudent and j'udicious use, of the in struments that it has pleased an all-wise Providence, to place in our hands. Let us cultivate brotherly love, one 'with another, and strive to preserve har- round him.-, It is the ark of our politi- New York was done, perfect, and pre mony; between us; for remember that cal safetyit will bear us securely sented to the city..

A - I rican people. Let those whose lots have been cast in this beautiful and fertile Territory, where peace reigns and contentment smiles, those whose energy and enterprise have caused the desert to "blossom as the rose, endeavor to suppress commotion, still discord, and to. dwell together in friendship and harmony. God forbid that the dis graceful scenes, that are presented by some of the citizens of a sister lern- tory, should ever be exhibited here. I would rather see Nebraska, with her fertile prarics, designed by nature for the nourishment and happy homes of our people, severed by some mighty convulsion of nature, from the rest of the civilized world, and floating as an iceberg upon the ocean, than to see her soil drenched with the blood of her siaugncerca citizens, n aicar nas been erected here, and dedicated to W nnv morn . annronriatfi onasinn hari the present, for us to pledge to oarli other, in the snhlime lano-nno-n of hnt snprefi instrument, mat vou nave ieard read to-day, "our lives, our " " 7 J brtunes, and . our sacred honor," to invoke, and to struggle to perpetuate, in this virdn state, the blessings of peace, harmony and fraternal love. Will you: 1 pause for a reply. Friends, we have reason to be proud of our country. The reflection that we are citizens -pf America, some by birth, and perhaps some by adoption, should fill the heart with pride and exultation. wherever the American flag floats, whether on the Mediter rancan or the Ualtic, the Atlantic or the Pacific, it affords protection to the tVmencan citizen. He may be an exile in a distant land, penniless and without friends, but when he gazes upon the glorious "stars and stripes of his country, fresh hopes spring up in his bosom, his spirits are revived and new energy is imparted to the man. The republics and empires of an tiquity, and the despotic governments of modern times, employed much of their superabundant wealth, in the erection of splendid ornaments, excit ing a false and vicious taste, and pro yoking the national nride and vanity into an admiration for delusive, unreal, onrl nncn'kctoTiti'o. x'KJo.ta A t, tbUVA UU0 J o vuu blut V" xui UUii AA V f ...

SETGU1AE OCCTTEEAITCE. Not long ago a dead body was taken rom the water at Alexandria, Virginia. Having been recognized and claimed by the wife of a citizen as the corpse of .her husband, it was duly borne to ho grave with due solemnity, followed by the widow and children in all the habiliments of woe., Several days passed, when tho husband and father, whose funeral had lately been ccle brated, suddenly returned in the full enjoyment of perfect health. , The surprise with which he was greeted, and his own on . learning what had occurred, maybe imagined. The sequel of this strange story did not terminate so happily. -The sexton, it seems, had run upalarge bill for funeral expenses, which the city authorities refused to allow, and the consequence was, that the man actually had to pay for his own tuneral. SLEEP. Six or seven hours of every day, men are breathing corpses; the lace discharges expression; the brain gives up thinking; life is gone; only the animal lies there, pulsating, breathing, snoring helpless as an infant un noticed as a statue; all gone, all vacant, empty, useless. Looked at without educated associations, there is no dif ference between a man in bed and a man in a coffin. And yet, such is the power of the heart to redeem animal life, and clothe all rude and uncommon things with its own leaf bearing branches, that there is" nothing more exquisite, refined and pure, and beautiful than the chamber of the house. Sleep it has sprouted up with all the flowers of the poets. The couch from the day that . the bride sanctifies it to the day that the aged mother is borne from, it stands clothed with dignity and beauty! Cursed be the tongue that dare speak evil of the household bed. By its side oscil lates the"cradle not far from it is the crib. In this sacred precinct, the mother's chamber, lies the .heart of the family. Here the child learns its prayers. Hither, night by night, angels troop. A LESSON FE0M THE BLEBS. , A gentleman observed, in a thicket of bushes near his dwelling, a collec tion of brown thrushes, who for seve ral days, attracted his attention bv their loud cries and strange movements. At length, curiosity was so much ex cited, that he determined to see if he could ascertain the cause of the excite- ient among them. On examing the bushes he found a female thrush, whose wing was caught in a limb in such a way that she could not escape. Near by was her nest, containing several half grown birds. On retiring a little distance, a company of thrushes ap peared,., with worms and other insects in their mouth, which they gave first to the mother, and then to her young; she, the meanwhile, cheering them in their labor of love with a song of gratitude. After watching the interest ing scene till his curiosity was satisfied, the gentleman released the poor bird, when she flew to her nest with a grate ful song to her deliverer; and her charitable neighbors dispersed to their several abodes, singing as they went, a song of joy. i This Prose in Rhyme Will do.

Paul, in commending to the Cor inthians the liberality of the .Macedo nian Christians, . represents them aa even exceeding their ability in minis tering to the saints and . instance : sc remarkable that we might naturally be curious to Know uy wuat iuuwyu uiuj were impelled b a few words to are informed. ; They "gave theisre ;jo:4 to the Lord." This la an explanation altogether satisfactory. ; They heartily and sincerely surrendered" themselves to the Lord, and hence they would not , withhold' their pecuniary 'assistance from hisTLdctedpeople, Ii will be so. The true and hearty Christians', who feel that they belong, in body and: soul, to the Lord, can not be niggard ly; and hence, by this rule, all mayda well by trying, themselves, whether their faith is not a mere fancy, instead of a fruitful principle.
