With Mue cold liands and stoclciliglcss fee'., Wandered a child in tlio clieeilcds street, Children wcro many, who, housed and fed, Lovingly nestled, dreaming In bed, Caroled their Joy In a land of bliss Without a thought otU caro of this. They wero warm In Humanity's fold But this littlo" child was out In tho cold OuHiUho cold. Bleak blew 'tho tvlnd through tho cheerless street, ' Dashing along the merciless sleet All furred and shawled, man, woman and child, Hurried along, for the storm grew wild, They could not bear the Icicle blast Winter so rude on their pathway cast. Alas, none pitied no one consoled This little wanderer, out In tho cold Out in tho cold, Sho had no father she, no mothorj Sister none, nnd never a brother. They had passed on to star-world's above, She remained here with nothing but love. "Nothingbntjlpve" ah! men did not know What wcaltfftf joy that child could bestow. So they went by and worshipped their gold, Leaving, the little one'out In tho cold . Outin the cold. Wandered she on till the shaijesof night Veiled horshiveiing form from jsighO Then with her cold hands over her.brpast She pr.ivoil to her Fatherin Heavcu.for rest. When hours had fled, 'ncatli tho world's dark frown, Hungered and chilled sho laid herself down Lay down to rest, while the wealth rolled In carriages passed her out in tho cold Out in the cold. Out In tho cold lo! an ancel form Brought her n hltc robes that were rich and warm. uut in the colli, on the sleeping child, The sainted face of a mother smiled. A sister pressed on her brow a kiss, Led her 'mid scenes of heavenly bliss: And angels gathered into their fold That night, the little ono out of tho cold Out of tho cold. BY JOHN S. ADAMS. Miscellaneous. The Dangers of the Republic. It is asserted nnd probably believed by soiiio Hopublicnns, that the threatened t.e eession of porno of thu Southern States, is only a teporary excitement mid passion, or a little brat; and bluster of politicians. that will pass away in a short time. That there is no foundation for this assertion is evidenced by tho fact that in somo of the Southern States the determination to t,e- cede is almost unanimous among the pco plo and that they aio now coolly and de liberately instituting measures to accom plish this object. The trouble is upon iss and already is heard throughout the South. the calm but dotorrriin'ed prepnrntfon for deadly strife, the exciting and warliko scenes of military organization and dis play, and the marshalling of armies, while in tho North is heard tho threat, tho taunt, tho sneer nnd attempted intimidation. This is tho situation of tho country, and God alone in His Iufinito wisdom can dis place the threatening cloud of danger that hangs liko tho pall of midnight over the uepublic. A timo Iilto this brings vividly to mind, those warning and almost proph etic words of Henry Clay, uttered as long ago as Ibci'J. llo then said: "Sir, I am not in tho habit of speaking lightly of the possibility of dissolving this happy Union. Tho Semite knows that 1 havo deprecated allusions, on ordinary occasions, to tlint dircn.il ovent. 'lhe country will testify that, if thcio bo any thing in the history of my public career worthy of recollection, it is tho truth and sincerity of my ardent devotion to its last ing picservatton. But wo should bo false in our allegiance if wo did not discunu- nato between tho imaginary and real dan- gors by which it may bo assailed. Abo- ltiomsm should no longer bo regarded as an imaginary danger. Tho abolitionists, let mo suppose, succeed in their present aims of uniting the inhabitants of tho Irco btates, as ono man, against tho inhabi tants of tho slave States. Union on one side will beget Union on tho other, and this process of 1ecipric.1l consolidation will bo attended with all tho violent prcd- judice, embittered passions, and implaca ble animosities winch over degraded or deformed human nature. Ono section will stand in menacing and hostilo array against tho other. The col lision of opinion will be quickly followed by tho clash of arms. I will not attempt to describo scenes which now happily lio hid from view. Abolitionists themselves would shrink back in dismay and horror at the contemplation of desolated fields, conflagrated cities, murdered inhabitants, and tho overthrow of tho fairost fabric of human government that over rose to ani mato the hopes of civilized man." Wo havo arrived at all but tho last Fceno of what ho prcdictod would bo tho result of tho spread of tho sectional feelings to which ho rofers; all has como but tho ''clash of arms." Nothing can bo done to nvort tho dread calamity tho "desolated fields, conflagrated cities, murdered inhabitants, and the overthrow of the fairest fabric of human government tlint over voso to ani mato tho hopes of civilized man," unless, at once, some assurance bo given tho coun try that all parties founded upon mcro sectional ideas shall bo put down, that tho constitution shall bo fulfilled in Icttor and spirit, and tho rights of all sections res pected. To do this sectional organizations must bo abandoned by all conservative, union loving inert nnd thoso must unite upon somo common ground of settlement, just, alike to the North and tho South. Ashland Union, DEATH OF DELAZON SMITH. ofDelazon Smith, at Portland, Oregon, on the 18th ult., is announcod. Mr. Smith was formerly a United States Senator from Oregon. Ho was formerly of this State was educated at Oborlin, and in his younger days published a hook callod "Oborlin Unmasked," giving a horriblo, yet apochryphal account of tho doings at that institution. As o political orator ho stood almost without a peer tho best we overheard. iV. Democrat. We may owo it to our encraios to for give; we owo it to oureelvea not to forget. Gen. Jackson's Proclamation. Tho following is tho concluding por tion of tho Proclamation of Gen. Jack son, issued in 1833, at tho timo and on tho occasion when South Carolina, by hor celebrated Ordinance attempted to nullify tho Laws of Congress. After picturing tho blessings of fico government under our Union, ho said: "And then add, if you can, without horror ami lemorse, this happy Union wo will dissolve this pictttro of peace and prospciity wo will deface this fieo inter couibo wo will interrupt thoso fertilo fields we will dclugo with blood the io- lection 01 mat glouous ling wo denounce tho very natno of Amoricans wo dis card.

Do our neighboring Hcpublics, every day suffeiing somo new 1 evolution or contend ing with some new insurrection do thoy oxcito your envy? But tho dictates of n high duty oblige mo solemnly to announce that you cannot succeed. Tho laws of tho United States must bo executed. I have no discictionary powor upon the subject my duty is emphatically pro nounced in tho Constitution. Those who told you that you might peaceably pre vent their execution, deceived ynu thoy could not have been deceived themselves. They know that a forciblo opposition could alone prevent tho execution of tho laws, and they know that such opposition must bo let. died. Their objects is disunion; but bo not deceived by names; disunion, by armed force, is treason. Aio you really leady to incur its guilt? If you arc, on the head of tho instigutois of tho act be the dreadful consequences on their heads be tho dishonor, but on yours may fall tlio punishment on your unhappy State (South Carolina) will inevitably fall all tho evils of the conflict you force upon tho Government of your country. It cannot accede to the mad project of disunion of which you would be tho first victims its fiist magistrate cannot, if he would, avoid the performance of his duty tho conso- quence must bo fearful for you, distressing to your li'llow citizens hero, anil to tho friends of a good government throughout tlio world. Its enemies Iinvo bolieltl our pvcaperliy with n vexation they could not conceal it was a standing refutation of their slavish doetu'nes, and thoy will point to our discord with the triumph of malignant joy. It is yet 111 your power to disap point them, lliero is yet timo to show that tho descendants of tho Picknevs, the Sumpters, the Rutlcdgcs, and of tho thou sand other names which adorn the pages of your lovolntioimry history, will not abandon that Union to Mippoit which so many of them fought, bled and died. I adjuio you, as you honor their memory as you lovo the canso of freedom, to which thoy dedicato their lives as yon prize the pcaco of your country, tho lives of its best citizens, and your own fair famo, to ictraco your stops. Snatch from tho archives of your State tho disorganizing edict of its Convention bid its mcmbeis to ic-asscmblo and promulgate the decided expicssions of your will to remain in tho path which alono can conduct you to safety, prosper ity and honor tell them that compared to disunion, all other evils aro light, be cause that brings with it an accumulation of all declare that you will never take tho field unless tho star spangled banner of your country shall float over you that you will not bo stigmatized when dead, and dishonoied nnd scorned while ynu live, as the authors of tho first attack on tho Constitution of your country! its destroyors you cannot be. You may disturb its peace you may interrupt the cotirso of its prospciity you may cloud its reputation for stability but its tran quility will boiostored, its propoiity will return, and tho stain upon its national character will bo transferred and remain an eternal blot on the memory of thoso who caused tho disorder. Fellow citizens of tho United States tho threatof unhallowed disunion tho names of thoso, onco rcspoctcd, by whom it is uttered tho array of military forco to support it denoto tho approach of a crisis in our affairs on which the continu ance of our unexampled prosperity, our political oxistance, and perhaps that of all tree governments, may depond. Tho conjtinctui'0 demanded a free, a full and xplicit enumeration, not only of my in tentions, but of my principles of action; and as tho claim was assorted of a right by a Stato to annul tho laws of tho Union, and oven to secodo from it at pleasuro, a frank exposition of my opinions in iela tion to the origin and form of our gov ernment, and tho construction 1 give to tho instrument by which it was created, seemed to bo proper. Having tho fullest confidence in tho justness of tlio legal and constitutional opinion of my duties which has been ox piosscd, I rely with equal confidonco on your undivided support in my dcloimina tion to execute tho laws to preserve tho tho Union by all constitutional means to arrest, if possihlo, by moderato but firm measuios, tho nocessity of a rocourso to force; and, if it bo tho will of Heaven that tho recurrence of its prinioval curse on man for tho shodding of a biother's blood should fall upon our land, that it bo not called down by any offonsivo act on the part of the United States. Fellow citizens! Tho momentous case is before yon. On your undivided sup port of your government doponds tho de cision of the great question it involves, whether your sacred Union will bo pro served, and tho blessing it seenros to us as ono pooplo shall bo perpetuated.

Politically Dead. Tho Republicans tell us that Mr. Dotn? las, by this election, n politically dead. Thov forgot that ho has four years to servo in tho Senate of tho United Stales and that in that' capacity ho will stay there until Lincoln leaves the Presidency. In tho Senate of tho United States for tho coming administration Mr. Douglas will be a master spiiit tholivo man of Con giess. If Sir. Lincoln does not pursue a correct policy, Mr. Douglas is in a posi tion to ciiticiso it, and hold up his errors to tho country a duty which ho will fearlessly and oohlly discharge. It would be much more coriect to say that there is no future for Lincoln than to op ply tho leinark to Mr. Douglas. Lin coin's administration will make a finish of him mark that! He will probably leavo the Presidency hated and despised by most of those who voted for him. while Mr. Douglas, if ho lives, has thirty years of political eminence beforo him. It is absuid to tulle of a single reverse killing such a man as Stephen A. Doug las. Tlio Republicans should lemcmber that Lincoln himself was defeated by Douglas for tho bonatoin Illinois in 1858, nnd if he can stand ono beating. Mr. Douglas, with his siipciior talents and energy, can stand a dozen. Mr. Douglas, although 1 uniiing against the piejudices and pas sions of both exti ernes of the Union, who had been mutually inflamed with hostili ty to each other by tho acts of demagogues and knaves, has received a greater number of votes than any other man who was ever beaten for the office. The Republicans four years ngo were proud of tho race which Fiemontmadc, who gotl,300,000 votes. Mr. Douglas has beat that, re ceiving one million and a half. His vote is moicthan double that of Breckinridge or Uell. It is within fifteen per cent, of that of Lincoln. It has this gloiious psculiaritx.jQO.jiajLit i. distributed in every otato 111 tiie union. urccKinnugo s votes nro about all in the south; Lincoln s aio about all in the Nnith, but Mr. Doug las has thousands and tciis of thousand of votes in both Northern and Southern Statps. Ho nlono got a national vote. His opponents leceivcd the votes of sec tions. It is, all things considcrcc, a paoud triumph for Mr. Douglas to havo received one million and a half of votes against two sectional candidates, ono of whom had tho assistance of the federal administration. Events will prove that Mr. Douglas is just about as near being Hilled politically as was General ilacKson when the politicians defeated him in 1824 for President. Enquirer. t a Away with such Folly. In the dark days of 1850 when tho Re public was on tho evo of a disruption, Clay and Webster and Clayton, and o.h ers on tho ono side, and Cass, Dickinson, Bright nnd others representing a different policy life long political enemies, struck liands nnd rallied to tho rescuo of tho country and saved it in its hour of peril. By tlio madness of fanatical Abolition- ists uio uonstituiion anu tho laws aro nullified and fifteen of the States of the Union denied their equal lights in the common property of tho Union proper ty bought with tho common blood and tho common treasmo of all, and yet now tho cry is no moio compromise no nunc concession to tho slavo power. Away with tho folly of calling justice a com promise of calling tho doing away with a wrong, concession. Givo the States of tho South but their just l ights, thoy ask nothing moro, they will submit to noth ing less. "Let iustico bo done though the Heavens do fall," is a maxim as honest in politics as 111 morals. Abulo by the Constitution uphold its compromises, and all will yet be well. Havo tho oppo sition no Websters, no Clays, no Clay tons now as in 1850, to do away with party for tho sake of tho country to do right even if paity leaders run counter to jnstico? Wo fear tho raco of giants and of patriots in high places in tlio opposi tion ranks havo passed away, and that tho country must sufFor for tho dwarfs who usurp their places. Rational Demo crat. a to It Do it Well. A rich man went to Washington, wheio ho mot with a member ol Congress whom ho had known when a lad in very different condition of life. "Why, sir," said he, "are you a mem ber of Congress? I remember when you used to black my boots for me." "Well, sir, did I not do it well" was tho prompt and appropriate icply. "Now, boys lot mo tell you something. Tho groat secret of life is doing well what ovoi ono has to do. And that is not in all lospects well dono which is not done at tho right timo. "Whatsoovor thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might," and "never put off till to-morrow what ought to bo done to-dav." Do what you have to do promptly, and you will never fail. True and lasting success is not the result of chance or luck, but of God's blessing on well directed of- fort. If yon would prosper, you must strivo for it. Nor is thoro any honest occupation, however humble, that is not honorable if well followed. No ono need be ashamed of htimblo birth, or hesitate to own the lowest labor, if he can eay tho labor was well done. If in Do it Well. [From the Muscatine (Iowa) Journal.] Escape from a Ten Year's Captivity Escape from a Ten Year's Captivity with the Snake Indians. A man calling himself Jarnoi P. Kim ball, accompanied by his wife, arrived in this city last week, in destitnto circum stances, and was generously afforded lodging and board at the Pennsylvania Homo by Mr. Stino. Kimball iclates that ho has just escaped fiom ten years caplivity with the Snako Indians in Ore gon. His narrative is published in the Review. Wo condenso tho main facts: In 1848 ho loft the homo of his father, Col. Mewell Kimball of Syracuse, N. Y for California, by the overland route, in company with his father-in-law and three unmarried daughters. When the party with which ho was traveling reached Chil licotho Valley, Oiegon, Juno 15th, thoy woio attacked by about 4,000 Snako In dians, but defended themselves for sever al hours, killing 400 Indians and losing ol their own number, leaving only 9 men and 4 women alive, who surrendered to the savages. They weie taken by the Indians to Min eral Spring, at tho head of Chillicotho Valley, wheio a council of twenty-font biavos decided that they should run tho gauntlet. Tho next day Kimball ran the gauntlet twice, with half an hour's inter val between each time first for his wife and next for himself. Thesame day Mr. Neal, his father-in-law, was also compell ed to run tho gauntlet, but was knocked down beforo reaching the centre of the tivo lines, when he was sentenced to bo burned at tho stake, which sentence was put into execution tho same oveninc, in tho presence of the party. Another man of the party was likewise buined at the stake, after which the In dians proceeded to Faundecr Valley, Washington Territory. The captive wcro washed in a stream of water by squaws till it was thought the white blood was all washed out of them, when the chief adopted them as his children. riom mat tunc till nitcen months ago they lived with tho Indians, wandering ..... . ... r. .. with them through diffeicut parts of the country. Kimball became their "Medi cine Man, or doctor, and professes to havo learned many remaikable ctuei for cancer, iheumatism, etc. How ho finally escaped Le does not say; but after fifteen mouths tiavel he arrived in this place last week, and expects to return to New York as soou as ho can obtain the neces sary means His narrative is a strange one, and we picsumo it is true. f j , The Infatuation of Lotteries. The Philadelphia Piess, in an article on the lottery offices of that city, gives the following lemarkable instauco of their fomfnlly deleterious ofToo'ii; In the immediate vicinity of a certain policy dealer the son of a country clergy man resided. This vouth, the hope of an estimable parent, was a journeyman at somo branch of carriage making. He came to town with a few bundled dollars in cash, and the enticements of his neigh bor over the way woio soon made known to him. Straightway he became a patron of policies. At tho first venture ho won few dollars. Theso ho doubled and staked again, and lost. Again he staked, and again lost, until more than half of his funds were taken from him. Made desperate by failure, but still confident of success, he staked all that remained, and was penniless. His destitution made him insane. Surviving a long illness ho resumed his trade, but had no mind for work. All his energies wore concentrated upon the policies, and tho sad scene was witnessed of tho errant lad sweeping the pavement and doing menial service for the man who had robbed him. His re compense for (his debasement was the privi lege of choosing three numbers gratuitously in the policy list. Wo beheld him lately, changed and dejected being, the weekly recipient of n small sum from the policy dealer. Ho occupies the position of copyist that worthy's office, and his wasted energies aro crazed into tho single lust of winning. In a few months some moneys , loft him by a deceased relative will be re ccived. It had been more direct for the dead man to havo willed tho cash at once to tho policy dealer. A few days ago, as an evidence of returning mind, tho son tho clergyman begged somo gentleman "back" him as a policy dealer. To such high expectations has tho child of the Gospel herald aspiicd. Getting His Dividend. Yesterday a Wide-Awake went into tho offices of one of our brokers, and wanted same western money exchanged. unfoitunately happened to bo bills of somo of the refused Illinois banks, and tho broker told him ho would take it at 30 per cent, discount. This demand appear ing exorbitant, and ho demurred in lather strong language. The broker then asked him if ho wasn't one of tho fellows he had seen around only a fow nights ago, with black cape and torch. Tho Wide-Awake ho was, and wanted to know what that had to do with his money. Oh, nothing, replied tho broker, only you aio getting your dividend on your investment in Lin coln. Tho Wide-Awako left tho office swearing that ho would go homo and break his torch over tho first Republican's head that ever asked him to turn out again. this was the first fruits of a change, he would liko to know what tho end was going to be? He, liko thousands of oth ers, begin to see their eiror. Buffalo Re public, I I a I A Lady of Philadelphia, who had per suaded a friend to become security for her appearance at couit, and not being will ing to nppear, hit upon a capital expedi- um iq ccune up missing, anu yet pieservo mo unu unnu intact. duo wrote a noto signifying her intention to commit suicide, placed a quantity of wearing apparel on tho bank of the river, and then sloped. A Frenchman having a violent pain his stomach, applied to a physician ("who was an Englishman) for retiof. The doctor inquiring where the tronblo lay, the Frenchman, in dolorous accents, laying his hand on his breast, said: "Vy, sare, I have a ver' bad pain in my port-maotcau." Getting His Dividend. Well Put---Can't Throw Stones. A leading Massachusetts politician, in discussing tho disunion question, thus looks at it properly from a Massachusetts point of view. Ho says: "It avails nothing for us in Massachu setts to discuss tho question of tho expe diency or inexpediency of secession, and to endeavor to impicss on tho Southern States the bacredness of the Union. So long as tho Stato of Massachusetts main tains a system of legislation plainly con trary to tho Constitution in the very mat ter of the special rights of the Southern Slates, all cars are closed to appeals in behalf of the Union from us. To such appeals tho answer is ready, that when we duly regard the Constitution ouuclves, anil not until then, it will be competent to us to exhort Slates to icspect and ob serve it; that otherwise wo aro but mean ly enjoying the benefits of tho compact without discharging its obligations; and that our laudation of the Union is alike odious and tidiculous, whilo wo cling to it only ns tho means of exerting the pow er of the Federal Government to the spo liation, oppression and wrong of fifteen States of tho Union." Faith Extraordinary. In Zanesville we hove many odorcd people, who live by barbering an other light work. They aro for the most part an ordei ly nnd quiet people, many of them are icligious, having a church of theh-own and a sable minister, of all of which they aro justly proud. One 'old evening, in a time of great revi val in the church, the ebony expounder wns delivering a powerful appeal upon "i'aitli, the groans and sobs of his hear ers gave token of its effect upon theit ir i'oprcsiblo natures. The tears stood upon his own daik cheek, his voice quivered "l;c uittaut tnumicr, when no emphasized his words by vigorous blows upon the table. In the midst of all this, the stove. agitated by his jarring blows, rolled over on the floor. Brother Lewis, a high man in the church, had located himself near this comforter of shins; ho stood irresolute, when tho voice of his minister came to him lade with faith. "Pick up de stove, brud- der Lewis, pick up de stove, do Lord won't let it burn you." Brother Lewis' mind was filled with the miracles of faith he bad that evening heard, so ho yielded to the appeal of his preacher, grabbed the hot stove, dropped it instantly, and turning his reproachful eyes to the disciplo of taitli exclaimed, "Dehell he won't.

'.Many Northern states have deliberate ly, and with the wicked purpose of og gression on unoffending friends, broken a solemn compact of tho Constitution in vital points, in its letter and its spirit.

'Such a simple statement of the case. Will any one deny it? 'This then being the case stated, what is the remedy? How can the South stay her purpose and remain. 'Why, clearly, only by the removal of the just cause for6ecession by tho reces sion of tho North from its violations of tho Constitution, nnd a recession of its aggressive course."

I begin to believe that the purse is more potent than tho swoid and the pen to sell,or. I begin to believe that those who sin the most during the week are the most devout upon Sundays. I begin to believe that honesty is tho best of policy to speculate with until you have gained everybody's confidence; then lino your pockets. I begin to believe in humbugg ing people out of their dollars. It is neither stealing nor begging; aud those who aro humbugged themselves to blame. begin to believe that man was not made enjoy life, but to keep himself miser able in the pursuit and possession ofiiches. begin to beliovo that tho surest remedy for hard times and a tight money maiket is an extravagant oxpeudituio on the part of individuals to keep tho money mov ing. 1 begin to believe that none but knaves oie qualified to hold offico under government with tho exception of a fow natural born fools and lunatics. I begin to believe that a piano-forte is moie nec essary in a family than meat and potatoes. begin to belie o that a boy who doesn't swear, smoke and chow tobacco nwv bo very good boy, but is natuially stupid. begin to believe that if tho devil should die, one-half of tho world would be thrown out of emnlovment. I begin to bolu've that ho has tho most meiit who makes tho most noise in his own behalf; and that when Gabriel comes, not to ho bo hind the times, ho, too, will blow his own hoin pretty loud.

"Ou tho other side of what, Alice?" "On the othor side of death: who took the baby on tho other side, mother? She was so little she could not go alono." "Jesus met hor thoro,' said the mother. "It is ho who took little children in his arms and said: Suffer little children to como unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven! He took the baby on the other side."

FINDING FULT WITH CHILDREN. at times necessary to censuie and punish, but very much moie may bo dono by on courging children when they do well. Be, therefore more carelul to express your approbation of good conduct than your disapprobation of bad. Nothin can moio discourage a child than a spirit of inces sant fault-finding on the part of its parents; and hatlly anything can exert a moro in juiious influenco upon tho disposition of both the parent and child. There aro two great motives influencing human action hope and fear. Both of the.e are at times neeecsaary. But who would.not prefer to have her child influenced to good conduct by a desire of nleasintr lather tb fear of offending? If a mother never ex presses hergratification when he child rnn do well, and is always censuring them when she sees anything amiss, they aro discouraged and unhappy; their disposi- sitjous become hardened" and soured by this ceaseless netting; and, at last, finding- that whether they do well or ill, they nro ii. - r tt- ,. . . . .. - equally found fault with, they iclinqnish a" efloits to please, aud become heedless 01 teproach. CATS FREE FROM HEADACHE. wonderful to sco a cat jump down heights. She never seems to hurt hurself, or get giddy with the fall; sho always falls on her feet, and'these aro so beautifully pad ded that they seldom or never gut broken. I never knew of a cat breaking its leg fiom an accident, but in one instance, and that was a French cat, which fell down stain in the most stupid manner. Why does not the cat get a headache after her deepjumps? why docs she not get con cussion of the brain, as a man or dog would, if ho performed a similar acrobatic feat?

HO Shall fcPAtll.1t lit line a rarr. ulor partition wall projecting from its M'les, a gooil way inwards, towards tho centie, so as to pievent tho brain from suffering from concussion. This is, in deed, a beautiful contrivance, and shows an admirable internal structure, made in wonderful conformity with external form and nocten.al habits. Dr. Buchland. Read not books alone, but men; and, chiefly, be careful to read yourself. If a ship is of the feminine gender, why arc not fighting vessels called women of war, instead of men of-war? Hatpisess must ariso from our own temper and actions, and not immediately from any external conditions. Good men have the fewest fears. Ho has but one who fears to wrong. He has a thousand who haa overcome that ono. Me.v of the noblest dispositions think themselves happiest when otkeis sharo their happiness with them. Laziness begins in cobwebs and ends in iron chains. It creeps over a man so slowly and imperceptibly, that he is bound tight before he knows it.

"Pray, madam, why did you namoyour old hen Macduff?" was asked of a 6outi mental lady who kept poultry. "Because, air," she replied, "I want her 'to lay on." A western editor says ho was taught, when a boy to refrain from grumbling at two thing-,: tho ono, that which ho cannot help, and tho other, that which he can. Tunnr. is more goodness in vit tne, kind ness and chcei fulness of hesrt, than in all tho cold, canting solemnity, that was ev er put on ns a mask ol selfishness. Those men talk most who in the great est mental daikness frogs cease their croaking when a light is brought to the water side. Why nro tho country girl's cheeks like French calico? Becanso they aro warran ted to wash and iclain their color. A disconsolate lover, who was discard ed, consoles himself with the lcflection that his loved ono is married to a small law yer, has two childicn and tho fever and ague. Peotle never plot mischief when they aie merry. Laughter is an enemy to mal ice and a foo to scandal. It promotes good temper, enlivens the heart, and brigh tens tho intellect. Let us laugh when we can. An Iiishman being asked whether ho did not frequently conveiso with a friend in Irish, replied: "No, indeed; Jemmy often epeaks to mo in" Irish, but I always ausuer him in English." "Why so?" "Because, you tee, I don't want Jem my to know that I understand Irish." The women of tho town of Canton, in this State, vexed at tho drunkenness which has prevailed there, inado a descent recently upon a rum-shop and spilled all the liquor upon tho ground.
