Tkllixo Jest'a,?"Things always go 1
smoothly with you." s.iid a complaining s<
disciple to Mr. F. "1 nev r hear you tl
make any complaints." " 1 have found N
out an efleetunl way of guarding again. t ^
that fault." said Mr. i?. "I did not know | S,
that you^ycrhnd any reason to complain." J
"I don'tKiiow thai I ever had ; but I '
used to find myself doing it, until one day, ' hi
in reading the Hihle, 1 came across this 1 th
passage :?* The apostles gathered tlitm- Sj
selves unto Jesus, and told liiin all things,
both w hat they had taught.' It occurred
to me, that, when I had any trouble, be- i s'
fore 1 told anyone, 1 should Srst tell Jesus, bl
And 1 found, on trial, that, if I told him "1
firsts I seldom had in occasion to tell any j]
body else. I often lind the burden en- .
tirely removed, while 1 am in the act of u
telling him of it, and trouble which has its
burden removed is no longer trouble."
" We ought to pray lor deliverance from el
our trials ; but Jesus needs no information tj
respecting them. lie is omni]>otei.t, and '
has no need that any thing Ik: told him." |
44 That is true, and yet he listen oil b
with complacency and kindness when his r<
disciples told him nil 'Jiiugs. In hissym- 1 f,
patluzing condescension, ho pJtniits us to ,,
repent to hiin our troubles, cares, and joys j .
though ho knows them all. lie listens (
to them with introst: just as the tender |
lather listens to the narrative of his ' g
child, though it convoys no information. I a
And he has connected great blessings witl> !
this exercise of filial confidence. If icssen1 i

tance with the Saviour, the greater will >

make it a rule to go to Josus every night, m
and tell lain all the events of the day, all ?
thai wc have purjioaed, and felt, and said,
and done, and an til red, would it not have dl
influence on our conduct during the day ? e?
It certainly would. The thought that we a|
should have to tell Jesus about it,would ! .
restrain lis from many an unholy act. we ,
could not wilfully indulge ?n what causeb '1'
the agonies of the garden and the cross, if
wc were to make it the sahject of conver- , sti
sal ion with hiu^ before commitliug our. w
selves to slumber." *'It seems to me, that
for mo to tell him all my exj?elience j
would be accupying his attention with
trilles : I should have nothing but sin and. ck
folly to tell him." w
M Sin and folly are no trifles; and the fl
way to get a right evil of si^is, to steok *
it ouL before him in our confidential inter
course with liini. You may depend up- i ?'
on it, may brother, that if you will go to m
Jesus every night, and toll him things that j
have occurred duriug the day, it will i (i,
speedily lift you above the world. It will .

Little Thorns.?The thorns of a rose W;

but they will te ir your hands, and irritate ,
your flesh, and make you feel very un- c 1

if you get them in your flesh, the pain will tli

are so small that you cant hardly sec them
with the naked eye; bnt if you tuch them
they will torment you. No matter how u
joyous and full of glee you may be one* of f?"

For the Womeo.
Thero is much clamor, iu these days of *
rogrcss, resjKvtjng a gi*nt of new right*,
r an extension of privileges to our sex.?
A,po#erf\il moralist has said, that "in
attention* for power, both, the philosophy
nd poetry of life aire dropped aUtf trcxlen
down" Would not a still greater
kss^hecrub to domestic happiness,'! and to J
ic interests of well-balanced society, I
lould the ihtpato delicacy and prorogn-1

e voice of that cannot err, when it spake J
nto Adam, in the cool of the day, amid i
le trees of Paradise. Not as a toy* a cl<lg, j
wrestler, a prize fighter. No! a help- j
icet, such as was fitting for man to do- |
ire, an?Wor woman to lieeome.
Since the Creator has assigned different J
phcrcs of action for the different sex s, it j
i to be presumed, from this unerring wis- j
om, that there is work enough in Onch '
epartment to employ them, and that the '
litliful performance of that work will l>c

The true nobility of woman is to keep '
?r own sphere, ami to adorn it, not like '
ie comet, daunting and perplexing other i
stems, but as the pure star, which is first |

s do not hear but little of what oiy
iul frieruh say about u? l>ehind our

tell the secret whisperings of those

aracters. Our ears are suffered to riny i
ithout being any the wiser in regard to
e cause. That is all well, for if we on- |
knew what was said, how wretched
e should be. Anil what a "blowing up" |

/ PROSPECTUS
OF TIIE
LANCASTER LGDQGR!
. The ledger it* the title ofa new paper,
published every .Thursday Morning, at Ijincastor,
O. H., S. C. This paper is nentrnl
in Politiesadvocating the caese of no party;
but devotod to the propagation and advancoenl
of all inonfllires which will prove of
benefit to the District and State. The following
extract from our Salutatory in our first
number will explain more fully our position;
" The Ledger will be an independent paper,
devoted' to News, Commerce, Literature,
&c.; advocating all measures which
we conceive will be of benefit to the District;
disclaiming all connection with any party
or'clique?firmly and zealously devoting out
energies to those matters which serve to promote
the welfare and happiness of our people.
Several years ago, the two prominent political
parties of the State were Whig and Democrat?now
Secessionists and Co-operationists.
The former advocating the separate
nationality of South Carolina; the latter, in
ease of a division of the Union, to have the
co-operation of all, or some of the slave-holdnu
States. Besides these two great parties,
we lia'VO in the State, auiiough !!! !!v minority.
the Union party, wiio are opposed to
Secession under any circumstances, believing
our wrongs are exaggerated, that we
have no cause to complain of the Federal
Government, and that we had hotter remain
ns wo are. Then, again, we have a narty,
(inoilCfiit wr iin* |?ii:u ui niv, tmir iiiiiiiiht in
small,) who arc violent Secessionists; *heir
creed is Secession under any cir....nistanc.es;
they say they are tired of the Union, nnd
never niind what concessions the General
Government might inn'se, they would rathc.be
out of the Union than in it?'hat once
South Carolina becomes a separate and independent
pnernmcnt, at once commences
her prosperity, her greatness. nnd her power.
A beautiful lawof 1'olitical Keonomy is, that
according to the supply of an article, so will
be the deinaud; id according to the labor
so will be t/ic cost; thus, by a nice distribution,
each one who labors, never mind what
his labor may be app cd to, so will be his
remuneration; directly as the remuneration
is not sufficient for the labor, the laborer
seeks some other branch of industry to apply
his labor to.
It is impossible for man to regulate the
price to be paid for the labor of a blacksmith,
a carpenter, or a lield hand?it is also absurd!
that any man ean say what the price
of corn will be next year. No monopoly
can place a fixed price upon the productions
of the earth. Now, we are inclined to think
that so much that is said in relation to the
withdrawing of South Carolina from tie
Union, and rice versa, does but little j;ood,
audi:; productive of , ucli harm. Wc arc
an excitable jieople, an hcredit iry gift derived
from our Anglo-Saxon a. costers: and in
matters involving so much ;is thi> does,
should be left to the calm, sober, reflecting
mind, unaided by the excitable anathemas
of hot-hcAdcd politicians.- Our people
know if they #:?re wronged ? if they
feel tli.it they are?seek redress, and if satisfaction
is not gi .'en, then consider well the
next step, but thi running blindly into any
course which paity spirit would induce other.,
to lead you into, is worse than foolish, a.u!
such iui|K-tuosity is always attended wi.h
irreparable injury. Patience is not submission
: enthusiasm Is not patriotism.
It is but right nnd proper that the people
should htVcjal the inform .tion which can be
[riven in relation to our national matters ?
this we. will do. All the light we ean give,
nhnll be givfn. Nothing will be withheld
which ean in any wify instruct our people iu
iw.r.>;....i i?...:.wi:.,^i :-. e / -
rx/n?WHi * ? ** ? icjm-.?vvu i?t IU> \JY U| I " *
t ier party, we will earefully lay before our
readers ull matters pcit iiiing to our Feder"
{grievances, and lot them judge for themselves.
If tlicy believe it ' otter to remain as
w? are, foaling we mav 'n ke bad worse, .o
be it; if. on tlff> other hand, they tind we
should secede from the Uniou, then let them
so decide.
Although the agitation which has existed
for the past year between the two parties
has now subsided, and although it is the general
opinion that the forthcoming Convention
will not recommend secession in direct opposition
to the declared voice of the people in
October last, when the election for members
to the Southern Congress was held Henouncinff
secession ; still, it is not our purposu to
advocuttfthc policy of either party, and we
mention this that in ease the Convention do?s
recommend Secession, w# do not mean to
dictate to the people what course they hod
better adopt, but merely recommend them to
be calm and watchful. These party strifes
ilienato friend from friend, brother from
brother, and father from son, and so far wc
sec nothing it has accomplished towards secession.
Wc have much to do besides enL'airimr
in oolitical strifes, the el?vntW?
that which lead* to our social, physical and
mornl advancement, should be our chief
thought, and let us exemplify by our actions
iktU firmness which is the base of patriotism.
Although the Ledger has hut just commenced
its career we are rapidly obtaining
suhscrj'.^vrs from all parts ; not only in different
sections of our own State, hut in
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Tex s,
die. Thus affording to advertisements
i . its columns, an extensive circulation in
many of the Southern States.
No paper will be sent out of the limits of
the State unless the price of subscription is
paid first or some person here tokos the responsibility
upon himself.
Although we lire nnxious to get as many
subscribers us w c can, still the publishing of
a newspaper requires nojittle outlay .arid these
terms will be strictly observed in every case.

STATISTIC*.:
AfetlCULTCHE. PoPtJLATtOS, AltH MaHU|jK|^-The
Report of J. G. Kminqflwt
Esq., the Superintendent of the Census,
I? * RTJr *
onq.dr th? moat valuable documents of
ttu? day. *lt abound* with ?*et* and figures
on important sqbjefte, derived from the most
authentic sources. We proceed to notice
some of the most interesting:
The Population if the. Union.?Assuming
ithc population of California to he 165,000,
(which we do partly by estimate,) mul o itting
that of Utah, ootimurcd at 12,000, the
t6lhl number oC inhabitants in the United
States was, on the 1st of June, 1850,23.246.801.
The absolute increase from the 1st of
>June. 1840. has been 6,176,H48, cud the nc
tual inccoasc per cent, is 36.18. But it has
been shown that tho probable amount of
|H>pu?ntion acquired by additions of territory
should be deducted in making a comparison
between the results of'the present and last
census. These reductions diminish the total
population of the country, as a basis of
Comp^Hson, to 23,074,301, and the increase
to 6,00l,?4#- '^',0 relative increase, after
this allowance,is Jjyh'nd to be 35.17 j>or cent.
The aggregate -number 01 whites :n I860
19,610.366, exhimting a g< in upon th?> number
of the same class iu 1840 of 6,423,371,
and a relative increase of 39.20 |?er cent.
But excluding the 153,000 free population
supposed to have been acquired by the addition
of territory since 1810, the gain is
sntn an J *ltr> increase nor i*S7.U.
?U|W?A|tUIU ,Mt, ,, % ^
The Slaves.?'The nutuber of slaves ?y JJI0
present Census. Is 310,298, which show s an
ir.viease of 711,085, equal to 29.59 per cect.
If we deduct 19,000 for the probable slave
population of Texas in 1840, tho result of
the comparison will Ik* slightly different.
The absolute increase will Ik- 692,086, and
the rate per cent. 37.83.
. The Free Colored*?The number of free
colored in 1860 was 628.637 ; in 1810,386,246;
The increase in this class has been
42.392, or 10.95 per eent.
The increase?From 1830 to 1940 the increase
of the whole population was at the
rate of 32.67 per cent. At the same rate of
advancement, the absolute gain for the ten
years last past would have been 5,678,333,
or 426,615 less than it has been, without ineluding
the increase consequent upon additions
of territory.
Area uf the States?Taking the tlnrty-onc
si. .:- !? a tOK o*?ii
iiiuii ami is I,IOU,OIU mpian!
miles, and the average number of their inhabitants
iw 1,649 to the square mile. The
total area of the United States Is 3 299,000
square miles, and the average density of population
is 7,219 to the square mile.
The Mortality of the Union.?The statistics
of mortality in the census year represent
the number of deaths occurring within the
year as 320,194 ; the ratio being as one to
728 of the living population, or as ten to
each 728 of the population. The ratio of
mortality in this statement, taken as a whole,
seems so much less than that of any portion
of Kurupo, that it must, at present, be received
with some degree of allowance.
The Manufacturer?The entire capital
invested in the various manufacturers in the
United States, on the 1st of Jqy.JV, 1850?
not to include any cqjt '.Viidiment producing
less than the annual v.-.liio of $3oo--ainonntcd
