Got.U anii GnsVF.s The N. O. Cres
cent onys: "A gentleman who has just
reiurnrd from California, having been ab-
M iH from the States about fourteen months,
stales that when he reached California,
curiosity led him la visit a graveyard, wherp
he found only rtci'eit graves; nine month
from that lime hp followed the lust remains
of a friend to the same graveyard, and
during the time intervening been the two
visits there had been no less than fourteen
hmvlrcil persons interred in Ihe same yard.
With these facts before us, can we wonder
why it is that so many of us are disappoint
ed in not receiving letters from friends who
have left our firesides on an adventurous
visit lo a country where both "fortunes"
end "graves" are made with such cxtraor
dituiry rapidity !
Served Him Right. The New York
Tribune says :
"The editor of the Jeffersonian, n Frep
soil Ufinocrntic paper at Dangor, has been
cowhided by the wife of ihe puMi!ier ol
the Deim crat, ol that cny, for an ungal
Ism, nnd, as is stated in the Dangor Whig,
false and scurrilous charge against the
lady who administered the punishment."
Newsfaprrs in Texas. The Congre
gational Journal justly remarks:
It speaks wi II lor ihe people of Texas,
that already thirty one newspapers have
beeneslal'lisheil.uvo ol which are religious,
nnd are weekly disseminating intelligence
through that thriving Stale. This is pre
cisely the number of papeis published in
New Hampshire, which has heen settled
above two hundred years.
Foolish OriKioNs There is an im
mense variety of foolish ami erroneous
opinions winch pass current for genuine
truths among a great majority ol mankind:
That a man has one rib less than a ivooian;
that there is a certain Jew still alive, who
lias wandered throujli l!ie world since the
crucifixion of Christ; that the coffin of
Mahomet is suspended in the air between
two load-stones; that the city of Jerusalem
is in the centre of ihe world; that the tenth
wave of ihe sea is greater and more dan
gerous than all the rest; lhal all ihe animals
on the land hare the corresponding kinds
in Ihe sea; thai there is a white powder
which kills without eiving a report; that
the blood of a goat will dissolve a diamond;
that all the stars derive their light from ihe
sun; thai the candle made of human fat,
when lighted, will prevent a person asleep
from awaking, with many oilier similar
unfounded positions, are regarded as indis
putable truths by thousands whose adher
ence to tradition and authority, and whose
indolence and credulity prevent ihem from
inquiring, with a manly independence, into
the true slate and nature of things.
Why it an old mper like a spring rain?

Washington. April 21.
The compromise committee, appointed
on Friday last, have already had a ineeiing,
and feem to have agreed on the following:
1st. To report a hill for the admission of
Calilornia, nud t tie establishment of territo-
ri I governments in Utah and New Mexico.
2d. They repoit a separate hill lor the
settlement ol ihe Texas boundary, by a
liberal compensation to that State,
3d. To make such amendments to the
law of 1793, for iIip recovery of fugiiive
slaves, as shall afford security lo the South.
4Mi. To aboli.-h the slave trade in the
District ol Columbia by extending l lie laws
of Maryland over ii.
Lutle or no doubt is entertained but thai
nil these bills will pass both Houses by
respectable majorities.
In regard lo i tie Texas boundary, il is
not yet decided whether that mailer will
come up in a separate bill, ol w hether, as a
kitiiir-d subject, it will he included in the
lull for liip admission ol California and ihe
es iiblishmenl ol terr.torial governments in
New Mexico and L'lah. Should separaie
lull be iiiiruiluced, the roniini'ipp, nut ol
respect lor Ihe oldest Senator, will probably
recommend Ihe passage ol Mr. Demon's
hill.
To morrow is fixed tipnn for an argu
ment on p iiliamentaiy usages between ihe
oldest Sem lor (Mr, Demon) and ''the
N'eMor" of the Senate, (Mr. Clay.) I

Mrs. Ireland and daughter, of Quincy,
Illinois, came to an awful death by freez
ing and starvation on ihe mountains dur
ing Ihe past winter. They were on Iheir
way to California. The wife and daugh
ter, with ihe lull Knowledge ol then situ
ation, and after tney hid burnt up their
wagon lor firewood, insisted upon Ihe hus
band an.! father leaving litem lo their late,
and seeking his own Safety. The Dur
ling:on (Iowa) Hawkeye says; "We al
most shuddered when our informant lolJ

"Look at Home." This very pertinent
reply lo those who are inquisitively prying
into the doineslic affairs of others, has
more force than is usually ascribed lo it.
A great amount ol ihe troub'es ant! conten

busy looking at the faults ol others, have
no lime to correct their own, and wronjs
grow intogrenl magnitude under their very

Oil the hill lops of the West.
The mists are slowly rising
From Hie valley and the plain,
And a spirit is awaking.

With its solemn bliss along.

And its armor is the Truth.

SETII TIM) KIl'S FIRST COURT
SHIP. Seih Tinder wa, perhaps, the 'ctnes,
critter,' in som things that ever calculated
the success of a notion expedition; and he
was anions the first of hi aenius that ever
strayed, on such an expedition, lo the far
West.
Seih was remarkably cute-at driving a
bargain that was an innate prnppns'ty;
Set h was inquisitive, and frequently looked
into hall duors and peeped Into kilclien
windows that was Yankee human nattne;
Selh winked it the girls that was an
acquired habit; i resolved to possess one
that was a calculatim. Now, this ink
ing at the 51'ils, when performed by a
handsome individual, is looked upon as a
matter of Cuutse; bit t Seth was so notori-
ously ugly, that his wink was an outrage.
t and his overlorfls of love perfect atrocities.
, His nhnri, bow-legged fijure was thatched
with the most obstinate bunch of carroty
hair that ever hid defiance lo bpar's oil; and
the windows of his mind, as the eyes are
poetically styled, appeared to he looking
intently at the lip of his nosp, as if appre
hensive that ere long it would burst into a
blaze. A kind of half-burnt prairie garn
ished his chin, which would have made
warm looking gorice, il Relh could have
' transplanted it all to one spot; but there lav
ine uiiiictiity, tor inoiiuti cute at driving n
bargain, he could make none with natu'P
she made him ugly wilhout Ins content,
and wouldn't agree to any alteration. Selh
nevertheless, would wink at Ihe girls.
His first lender effort was made upon the
heart of a German botcher's lair, fat, rosy
daughter, whose round cheeks and well fed
foim was, to Ins eye, the very perfection o'
f"inale beauty. No artificial making up
about her no exterior padding ii wbs all
dime nat urally, on I lie inside. As sdie
luxuriated upon the door steps of an eve
ning, Seih would linger and wink and grin
all sorts of affection, hut like all bashful
swains, hesitated about coming to close
quarters. I'r had imbibed the erroneous
opinion, ihat all true bints lo drag his
inamorata into a secret treaty, was a fail
ure. At length, he ventured in a desper
ate manner tip to (he door step anj whis
pered hurriedly t
"Lookout comin' in set up with you
tonight round ihe Lack way over the
lence be a wailin!'
'You'd petti-r pe kelcli'd,' was the fair
one's rejoinder, accompanied by a mali
cious laugh, which Selli interpreted as an
approving one.
The darkness of the night favored Seth's
clandestine notions ,t was just the thing
lor a noclura: visit; theMore, agreeably lo
notice, he made his appearance at the
fence, round the back way. Leaping over
Ihe barrier, he ventured In sound a cautious
'hut,' which was immediately answered
by a low 'wou-u'i.' That musi be Dutch
lor 'come,' reasoned Seih, and straight he
mourned the lence; but a politician never
took an uneasier seat on Ihe same line of
division than be ftijmjrd, on the present
occasion, for nu sooner had one pedal cx
ireintly reached the oilier side and placed
him lair i y astride, than a remarkably sav
age dog seized the intruding member, with
a fierce 'wou-ugh-woiiiugh.'
Git-eoiit, you blasted critter, shouted
Se'h.
' Wotl-ugh-ugh'' roared ihe dog.
A struggle ensued, in whicii Seih, un
lorltinaiely, lell on Ihe wrong side, ' righ'
into the jaws ol his antagonist. The alii
lude in which he reached terra firuia, of
fered the dog a change of grip, and like a
; sktiilul seiiiiuel, he seized the advantage
and S, Hi's seal of honor al the same time.
Our hero sprang neaily erect, Willi a how

'Some tain rascal al'tr der sausages in

exclamation; the rosy daughter smiled as.
sent, and 'arm and oin,' was ihe r.nik of
an insiant. They found their iru-ty sentry
baulking all Seib's efforts lo retreat over
the fence, and keeping him 'a aicitilin"
when he would have given worlds to leve.
The reinforcement made at him wiih whip
and broomstick, and this irrn'i!.' mils
aroused lnm to superhuman ex"riioo; with
a 'muzzier' he floored the Dutchman and
his pip", charged the lliniy hearted daugli

W OMAN AND THE DIFFERENT RACES.
In "Aii Investigation ol the Natural Histo
ry of Man," by Frederic Wm.Van Amnng
of New York, ihe author shows the broad
and sinking disiinciion between the white
nnd dark races in their treatment of Woi
man. Hp states the great and impressive
fact, ihai the dark races, numbering nearly
7"0, 000.000, universally bold woman in a
slate of bondage and degradation, while
ilie white race, numbering some 210,000,
OHO, alone allows woman lo approach her
proper sphere, by acknowledging the mar
riage contract, paying deference to her
influence, and promoting her intellectual
culture. He also shows that the descend
ants ol'PMiem alone experience any benefit
from female influence upon society; that
among all the dark races, with very few
and unimportant excepiions, polygamy
universally prevails; and that in the rela
tions of the S"xes, in all the dark races, the
sennmenl of love is entirely wanting.
A lady was asked to join a division of the
Doughtersof Temperance. She replied,
