SINKINS, DURISOE & CO., Propr THERE'S WORK ENOUGH TO DO. The black bird early leaves its rest, To meet the smiling morn, And gather fragments for its nest From upland, wood, and lawn.. The busy-bee that wings its way 'Mid sweets of varied hue, And every flower would seem to say "There's work enough to do." The cowslip and the spreading vine, The daisy in the grass, The snow- drop and the eglantine Preach sermons as we pass. The ant, within its cavern deep, Would bid usiabour too, And writes upon his heap " There's work enough to do." The planets, at their Mfaker's will, hlove onward in their ears. Foi- nature's will is never still Progressive as the stars! The leaves that flutter in the air, And summer breezes too, One so!emn truth to man declare " There's work enough to do." Who then can sleep when all around Is-active, fresh, and free! Shall inai-ereation's lord-be found l.ess busy'than the bee? Our ,ourts and alleys are the field, If men would search them through, Thtlst of sweets of labour yield, Aid ".there's enough to do." "GOD BLESS YOU."

I have heard a storv-I cannot tell whether it is true or not-out of some of the Jewish rabbis; it is a tale concerning the text, " The stone which the builders refused, the same is become the h.mdstone- of the corner.". It is said that when Solomon's temple was bui.ding. nil the stones were brought from the quarrv, ready eut and fashioned, and there were marked on all the blocks the phaces where they were to be put. Amongst the stones was a very curius one ; it seemed of no deseribable shape, it up. p,.ared unfit for any portioa of' the bnildinr. Ther trieat it at this wall, but it would not tit: hey tried it in anotler, bta it could not he ac eoimmodated; si, vexed zand an-gry, they threw it away. The temple was so'many year i buibling, that this stonxe beeame covered with moss, and rass grew aroutd it. Everybody paSSing by aughed -at the stone ; they said Solomon was rise, and doubtless all the other stotes were right ; but as for that block, thiev migtht as well iAad it back to the quarry, tiar they were qui t ure it was mr:mant for nothing. Year-aft er. ar a'olied on. and the poor stone was still despised. the builders constmatly relused it. The eventid aV e:naine Ilenl the te'mple was tohe finishdcl and opened. tad the maultitude was assmleda4al to the grand sight. Tho builderm saiai, " Wiari is tle top-Stone ? Where is the pinnacle ?"'

Kansas is a part'of the Louisiaiia pumihase; and in my view, the rigits and interestsof the people of theslaive-oviwmg States are proteqted by treaty, by the Constitution, by the common law, and by the organiu law of Congress ;'and that this 'protetion is 'nowr and will' continue perfect until' the peopleh. hl, in .con1ention miike a1 constitution in which slavery liall be rejected, and Ransas, with ihat constitutiogi, ad iiiitted as *a Siate into the Union.

What beci"os of moy property ! If is certa.inly sub ject to the statutes "f the. Statles of which I am a residenot. So, if I taske tiy property'in shavyes iintoa Territory, which I do under the Federal Costiit utioni, atnd the Territoriadl Legislature hav e failted to pass any law to reg~ulate, dispose sof, or protect such proplerty, theni the local law of the Stain of which I am a citizen will apply to seh property, prov'ideid it does noit conflict with the Cosnstituidon atnd the laws of Congress made under it.

Both as nroducer and consumer she .feels the , present ederal taxationi upon her industry, to fall with estructive e1i-et upon her resonyrees. She pays ecar two-th-rda-of a tariff, which is one-third oo- large for even a liberal reveniue. The full-. .4t proper expeniditure of the Gov'erniment hiuld not exceed lifty milli,.n<, aushown by the Seretary of the Tiresiur-yet about eighty nillions is received itto it. The South not mly pays the two-thirds diretly int~o thesputblic euhs, but a great deamaiire indirectlyt m1m-. ufacturers. whose gootis are enihaned in prieo throughiout the Uniion- by ithe protective~ influence rf the tairilY, and its restriction of foreign comn. petition.
