The origin jf species has always been a problem in science. Whcro that partic. ular species of reptile origirated known as the "Copperhead," and which the Cn'm's thinks so "innofcusive, except iu August," (when it goes blind from tho viruleuce of its own voriom(!) ) has becu a query that we havo have heretofore been unable to solve. But, after listening to Valluudighaui s i ast Pay speech at the Stato House steps, we left tho assurance in our mind, somewhat nebulous at first, but still certain, that we had somewhere, before, read something similar to hissentiments. Hisbittcr invictives against the government authorities, whom he called "your oppressors," his strained and stilted scolding because, he said and as the Crisis weekly say9, the citizen i'oes not "dare to speak or write gainst tho tyranny which has robbed you of your property, imprisons your sons, dra2s you to the field of battle, and is daily deluging your country with blood," seiitinieuts like these, rehearsed and recapitulated with all the phrases and paraphrases that the ingenuity of language could supply, sounded to us as though we had read the same somewhere in a book-When Yallandigham and the Crisis mag-nify tho terrors of war and denounced the President because he did not listen to Jeff. I Davis' syren song of peace, in words something like these "Your country once hap py; and had the proffered peace ba n embraced, the last two years of misery had been spent in peace and plenty, and repairing the desolation of a quarrel that would have set the interests of the North and the South in a true light, and cemented their friendship," hearing these sentiments from Vallandigham, our mind became still more certainly assured that somewhere in our reading we had happened upon doctrins and sentiments precisely similar. And when he proclaimed that be gave Ins promise of must affectionate welcome to all who are disposed to ioin i - - """ ln mei,!iurcs necessary to stop the war and to close the scene of our afflictions, in such as we think fit to impose on ourselves then wo fi.lt ;fio.1 W . . - .... "... i.au,mc vAiiiiiiiie our library, to turn over the thumbed and dog-eared pages ot former reading, in order to find the origi nal source whence these sentiments were drawn; And; behold! we found it. The whole was found written in tho "I'ROCLA- mation of BENEDICT ARNOLD !) to the citizens nud soldiers of the United States, issued October 20th, 1730," only one month after his treason to the United States had been revealed. In that Proclamation of BENEDICT ARNOLD, so strikingly similar to Wallaudigham's speech as to suggest the former to our remembrance, you will find it thus written: ''You are promised liberty by the leaders of your affairs, but is there an individual i n . . ln the enjoyment of it, savingyour oppress- ors? Who among you dare speak or write what he thinks against the tyranny which has robbbed you of your property, im-prisous your sons, drays you tu the field i utune, ami u uaity uciuijimj your coun. try with your blood? "Your country once was happy, and had the proffered jeace been embraced, the last tico years of misery had been spent in peace and plenty, and repairing the desolation of a quarrel that would have set the interests of Great liritain and America in a true light, and ccmcutcd their friendship."I wish to lead a chosen band of Americans to the attainment of peace, liberty, and safety, the first objects iu taking the field. "What is America but aland of widows, orphans and beggars; but what need of arguments to such as feel infinitely more misery than tongue can express? I give my promise of most affectionate web ome to all who are disposed to Joinme in measures necessary to close the scene of our affliction, which must be iucreased until we are con- as we shall think Ut to impose upon our- 6ClVM vl. s. Signed BENEDICT ARNOLD. When we discovered thisdocument with the name of BENEDICT ARNOLD at- tached, we knew, at once, where the "Copperheads" originated. We had there discovered tho paternity of the whole 'peciesof American Copperheads, with the "family record" so abundantly given under the sign manual, too, of the first of the species, as to leave no question of the legitimacy of the succession. Nor can we perceive any deterioration in the family trats. The qualities of the commoa so cestcr of this species of reptiles have been fouud transmissible by strict entailment so that nothing of virulence nor venom has been lost in tho course of descent. What Benedict "The Fir9t" pro.laimcd in 1780, Clement tho Last, and the "blessed martyr" to the family faith, equally proclaim on Fast Pay iu 18C3. The lapse of four score and three years has made no change in the lamily traits or temperament. What they were in Oct., 1780, they will be in August, 1803. Let the Nation be ware of them. O. S. Juvntul. A. II. Stevens A Trophet. It is well known that the present Vice Presideutofthe Confederacy made aspcech strongly opposed to secession in tho Georgia Convention of January, 18G1. The following extracts wil' show how clearly he perceived the iniquity, and foresaw the results, of the measure: That this ctep ouce taken could never be re-called, and all the baleful and withering consequences that must follow (as they would see) will rest on the convention for all coming time. When we aud our posterity shall see our lovely South desokted by the demon of war which this act of yours will inevitably invite and call forth; when our preen fields of waving harvests shall be trodden down by the murder ous soldiery and fiery car of war sweeping over our land; our temples ot justice laid in ashes; all the horrors aud desolation of war upon us; who but this convention will be held responsible for it? und who but him who shall have given his vote for this unwise and ill-timed measure (as I honestly think and believe) shall beheld to strict account for this suicidal act, by :he present generation, and probably cursed aud execrated by posterity for all coming time, for the wide ann desolating ruin tl.at will inevitably follow this act you now propose to perpetrate. Pause, I eutrcat you, and consider for a moment what reasons you can give that will even satis y yourselves in calmer moments what reasous you can give to your fellow-suftercrs in the culauiity that it will bring upon us? What reason you can give to the nations of the earth to justify it? They will be the calm and deliberate judges in the case! and to what cause or one overt act can you name or point, on which to rest the plea of justification! What right has the North assailed? Wha1 interest of the South has been invaded! What justice has been denied? and what claim founded iu justice and riaht has been withheld? Can either of you to-day name one government of Washington, of which the South has a right to compluiu? I challenge the answer! Now, for you to attempt to overthrow such a government as this, under which we have lived for more thanthree-quarters of a century iu which we have gained our wealth, our standing as a nation, our domestic safety while the elements of peril arc around us, with ncace and tranquility, accompanied with unbounded prosperity and rights uuassailed is the height of madness, folly and wickedness, to which I can neither lend my sanction nor my vote. Training the Child's Body. Whatever you wish your child to be, be it yourself. If you wish it to be happy, healthy, sober, truthful, affectionate, hon-, est and godly, be yourself all these. If you wish it to be lazy and sulky, and a liar, and a thief and a drunkard, and a swearer, be yourself all these. As the old cock crow, the youug cock learns. remember who said, "Train up a child in tho way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." And you may, as a general rule,-as soon expect to gather grapes from thorns, and figs from thistles, as get good, healthy, happy children from diseased, and lazy, and wicked parents. Let me put you in mind seriously of one thing you ought to get done to all your children, and that is, to have them vaccinated or isoculatedwith the cow-pox. The best time for this, is two months after birth, but better late than never, and in these times you need never have any ex cuse for its uot being done. You have only to take your children to the old or new town dispensaries. It is a real crime, r ! --I. ; . ... . i .... v . . i mm, iu parents to neglect mis. It is cruel to their child, and it is a cruel to the public. If every child in the world were vaccinated, which might he managed in a few years, that loathsome and deadly dis ease, the small-pox, would disappear from the face of the earth; but how many peo ple are so stupid, and so lazy and preju diced as to neglect this plain duty till it is too late. So promise mo all seriously in your hearts to see to this, if it is not done already, and to see to it immediately. Be always frank and open with your children. Make them trust you, and tell you ull their secrets, ilakp them feel at ease with you, and make free with them. There is no such good plaything for grown up children, like you and me, as weans- wee ones. It is wonderful what you can get them to do, with a little coaxing and fun. You all know this as well as I do, and you will practice it every day in your owu families. Here is a pleasant lit'le story out of an old book: "A gentleman having led a company of children beyuii their usual journey, they began to be weary, aud all cried to him. to carry them on his buck; but because of their multitude ho could not do that. But" he says, "I'll get horses for us all;" then cutting little wands out of the hedges, as ponies for them, and a griut stake as a charger for himself, this put mettle in their little legs. aud they rode cheerily home. So much for a bit of ingenious fun. Dr. Brown's Essay on Health. Adsbact moralizing is all very well when it is not put to the test in a way which conflicts with the moralizer's owu personal interests. Head this and take heed, ye who are "troubled that way:" "I love to see people industrious,', remarked Mr. Plane, the carpenter giving a finishing knock at a cupboard nail he was driving, as though he were putting it as a period to his sentence. "So do I," said Jlr. Spooner; "but perhaps we would not agree with regard to our definition the word industry. I do not believe that industry is slavish devotion to work, that never allows itself a moment's respite from toil, that from early morn to night devotes ikelf, might and main, hammer and tongs, speaking after the manner of men, to one pursuit that is not my ic'ca of industry. The industry that I believe in is the industry of the universe, revealed in natural growth, that goes not with a rush, for forced growth is unliealty, but iu the beau tiful harmony of the trees and flowers. that fill their season with their fruits of their industry. We are fretted to death with this erroneous idea of work, wo are made to believe is the be-all and end-all of life, and some are as mad as March hares about it.

Letter from Gov. Andrew. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Exe cutive Dcjyurtment, Uoston, April 1, 1SC3. G. W. D. Andrews, Esq , Superintendent Soldiers' Home, Cincinnati, Ohio: Dear Sir, I havo the honor to acknowledge the recept of your letter of March 27. con cerning the passage of the Machusetts 29th Volunteers through your city. It givss me great pleasure to feel that Massachusetts troops have the opportunity to strike a blow for the defence of your Western homes, to vindicate in the field tho sin cerity of the regard, the wisdom of the policy, and the coincidence of interests, sentiments and institution, which have always formed a strong bond of Vnion be. twecn the East and West a bond which I devoutly believe the machinations ot armed or unarmed traitors will be power less in the end even to weaken. But a cause cannot be deprived of its legitimate and comuicnsurato effect. When a hard blow is struck, it mint hurt somewhere. But as the hard stroke on a rigid surface will shatter the handle and injure the hand that holds it, 60 1 believe the attempts of the secretly or openly disloyal upon the unyielding strength of the Union bctwecu the E'istand the West, will redound only to their own destruction. I trust, as you suggest, that a proper 'State pride" might have been gratified, had, I witnessed tbe march of the 29th through Cincinnati. But tho pride in the fact that they were Massachusetts men could bear do proportion to the pride in ths fact that tbey were United State soldieus! Accept, my dear sir, the thanks of Massachusetts for the kindness which you sny will be extended to her soldier-sons by the Soldiers' bmeofCincinnatli. It will not go unappreciated. With great respect, I have tho honor to be, very siucercly yours, Jonx A. Andiiew. Tut not your faith in words.

"Your no: ions about keeping tho Sabbath," saii a farmer ton Christian friend, 'are nil superstition. The idea that it is uot profitable or safe to work on tho Sabbath as on other days is false, and will prove it to." So he attempted to prove it and went oil and ploughed his field and sowed his graiuon the Sabbath, and itcania up and grew finely; and often through, the seasou he pointed to it proving that Sab bath labor is safe and profitable. And so he reaped i. and stacked it in the field and then thought his argument complete. Iut his boys, catching the spirit of their father, took their guns on the Sabbath and went out hunting in tho woods. It was a very dry time, aud tli-wadding from their guns set their leaves on fire, aud tho wind swept the flames over the field, and soon all that remaiuud of his nublo harvest was the blackness and ashes the fire had left. Another man, also a farmer, thought he had succeeded better, aud even boasted that; he had proved by exjieriuient that it was more piofitable to work on the Sabbath than to rest or attend divine worship. And on the Sabbath on which he tiuished gathering iu his crops, ho told some of his Christian neighbors how much wiser he had been than they; and that by workiug on all tbe Sabbaths of tho year, he had saved some fifty days which they had bit by superstition. But that very day the lightning struck his barn and consumed everything in it, leaving his neighbors more satisfied than ever that it is safe "to remember the Sabbatk-day, aud keep it Mi " Another case confirming the same great truth, has lately met the eye of the writer. It is the case of a wealthy merchant, doing business in one of our large cities some years ago, who seemed to take delight in violating the sanctity of God's holy day. As ho did busiuess on a large scale, he at one time gathered together a million and a half of Spanish dollars to send to Chinaj and as several vessels would bo Deeded to bring home the cargoes he intended to purshase, he divided the money iuto seven parts, putting it into seven different ships, and to show his ountonint for God and his law, be sont these shins to sea on seven consecutive Sabbaths. Tho ships went out safely, and returned safely, and he doubtless congratulated himself on his successful violation of the fourth commandment; but when theii voyages were settled up, ho found that five hundred thousand dollars had been sunk in the enterprise. This, shook his credit, and loss after loss succeeded, till in about four years tho rich merchant died bankrupt. In all theso cases was it chunce or was it divine providence. Was it or was it not God's testimony to the Sabbath. American Messenger. For tb Child'i Papr. Small Jlerclcs. I went the other day to see a very old lady. She was eighty-eight yearst-ld.-Sho lived iu a small room all by herself, and she had a small store, and small kettles, and a small pantry, and a little round table, and a little teapot. Every thing was on a small scale, to suit her small strength aud her small means. She was very glad to soe us. "Are you not lonelysometimes?" X asked. "Oh nc," she answered in a cheerful tone, "my Saviour is always with me; aud he is the best of society, you know." We inquired about hor nights; did she sleep well? "Yes," she said; but she arose early, at 5 o'clock, or thereabouts. We expressed our surprise. "Well, my Saviour, you know, arojo a great while before day to pray, and I find if so $iceet to follow his example; and when the moon shines, and I don't have to light a light, I have such beautiful times;" and her aged face shone, I thought si teething as Moms' did when he came down from talking with God on the mount. She bustled about and showed us her old Bible, and the quilts the madt seventy years ago, and related in a lively style tho way things used to be in her day. 'I sup pose you think a great deal of those good times," we said. "Yes,' she answered, "yes; but I think a great deal more of those good times to come." "You have many mercies;' goodness and mercy seem to crown your days." "Yes, yes," she exclaimed, "and I count it oue of my great mercies that I can turn over in my bed."
