too much sweetness, and gave to the countenance
a very dignified and intellectual expression.
Then, too, she was as good as I
sho was beautiful, and very intelligent, very j
accomplished ; in fact, slio was a paragon
of excellence. And yet, with all of her ad. I
vantages, Genevieve's lot in life was but a <
poor dependant orphan. True she lived
with a wealthy uncle, had a spier did home, <
occupied a high position in life, and had
everything that money could buy ; but her i ]
aunt and cousin were very overbearing, j
very tyrannical, and did everything in their i
power lo make her unhappy, and to let her i
know that sho was in their way and an unwelcome
guest. Willingly would she have f
given her splendid home, with all of its f
luxuries, for love, kindness, and quietness iu c
the humblest col. She had begged her nn- *
cle to let her support herself, but ho ilidig- s
nantly replied? t
'Can you not sets the advantage of her

'don't you know if she stays here 6ho will

whereas if she goes out to stippoH herself
it would not only be a disgrace to Us, hilt s
in all probability she would live and die an
jld maid, and thus be foreVer on oufMiands." t
ll may be asked, or thought, why did she
not go, anyhow? Site was but eighteen, (
Iter utiele was Iier guardian and she had to ''
jbey. I'oor Genevieve ! many a tear, |:
nany a sad hour did their unkind words v
ind ads cost her; and many a lime would ?
be have given tip in despair, but she re- j a
netnbered that there was cue who eared ja
or her, one who loVtd her, one who would li
nake her happy in the future ; he was far '
iwav, it was true, but she had his picture, e
he bad his letters, she had his vows. And
vhen all else seemed dark around, she *
nrned to bim and to the future, and she
bum! hope, comfort happihw. g

"A letter, Miss Genevieveh
Iliistily the sowing was thrown aside* *'*
[uickly the letter was seized, an cxctama- n
ion of joy escaped her as she glanced at he
direction, and the whole countenauce c'
iras radiant with happiness. p
"Wedding invitations," she thought, with
5 mile, as three cards dropped from the let- ?

urnod to a deathly whiteness, for on one h

itbcr Carlton Muncamp; then turning to ft
he letter she read ; ft
' Dear Miss Jennie, I suppose by this d

"Well you don't scern very heart-broken

There sat Genevieve, a heavenly smile was

there she was, calm, beautiful, saintly, but
the spirit was gen.*, and Genevieve slept
that sleep which knows no waking.

NORTHERN 8ENTlSENT ON DISUNION.
Tlrt> New York correspondent of the
Mobile Register in a recent letter, say-* :
New York, January 2.? Many of the city,
and all of the rural paper?, continue to
make fun of the recent eventB in -lie South*
There is a sad want of information as to
the real feelings of the South. Itisaslow
process to convince the Northern mind that
Southerners can cut off trade, or declare
non intercourse. They do not believe it wil!
be done. The puttering from Ji non purchase
(in 1860) of millions from the North,
as has been done for ytiar?, will convulse
every Northern Atlantic city.
Nearly all the party papers North conceal
from their readers the fact that there is
any real danger totbto Union. TlieV soout
the idea. It is with lliPin an irti?ir?uaih;lil?
I conversed, yeeterday, with a prominent
man in the Republican rankH, who holds h
high State appoint. I remarked that there
wns an absolute threatening ttahger to tinUnion,
and lliat it was becoming daily and
hourly mnr< com:entrated an<l fixed in the
Southern section. lie indignantly pshaioed
my renu.rk, and addetl, 'Let the S?.uth trv
it how and accede. We can bring them
hack again ; or if not, we ran exterminate
them.1 I added, 'Bring back reluctant
States?exterminate brethren- How are
you going to do it ?' 'Why, if there is no
way, we can, at a very trifling expense, arm
the slnvi-p, and wse how rouH, thert, thee
| Southerners will bfg for inercy from their
I Northern brethren!'
| I walked away disgusted at such bi-utal
| ideas. Yet, why should I tak? exception
to that one man? He represents fairly,
squarely, openly, and honestly, the real sen
tiinents of ninety-nine white men in a hundred,
c.f what will he done by the North if
the Soutli seconds. A Northern Democrat,
?n old lir.e Whig, an American?all stand
upon the same platform with the Republican
in the matter. All have an idea that
if Southern States Recede they must be conquered.
re-annexed, and reorganized. They
will become rebels, traitors, and are to be
treated as such.
What are you to do or any to people who,
even Jthile sympathizing with the South,
sny. if the South secede,eighteen millions
of Northern people will not submit to it,
but promptly re-conquer the renegades.
Ask Charles O'Conor, with all his right
sentiments about African slaVttrv. this mips
- "*?* I
tiuii : 'Mr. O'Conor, if any of the Southern
Slate*, when Seward is elected, should secede,
what course will the next President
he obliged to take f* Charles O'Conor
will promptly reply : 'Hang every rascal
that is engaged in aueh proceedings. Ilang
(hetn as high as old Jackson would have
hltng Calhoun. Ilang every disuniob
leader, without judge or jury.*
So will say every political roan who has
entered political life sirice 1824.
A* the least symptotft of disunion, 600,000
men will aim and stand ready to go
South from the. Northern States, and really
think they are performing the duty of pa'
triota!
I do not think these men will wait for
the constituted authorities to move. They
will follow any chief who will lead them
South to exteminate the disuniunists. I
mil yivuij; yuu ihcih, hoi fancies ot my own,
I tell you plxinlv Low ihe Northern mind in
prepared in 1860 or 1861 to receive disunion.
The fight will be to the death
within thirty days after the movement is
made by one or by all tbe Southern Slates.
It will make no difference. The conservative
men may do much between this and
the Presidential election to prevent Seward's
success. But when he does succeed, and
and when Southern Slates begin to secede,
tbe eonservative power North will be broken
up. A new element utftlcvimo into play.
It will be tbe ten? ??f thousands of unemployed
desperate characters who are readv
to seize upon the first chance to bring on
general anarchy. Then thousands will
rally to eo South, but verv orobahlv before
- '
they start, if they should have an bol.l ami ,
desperate a lender as Fernnndo Wood,!
wyuld pMtoder and sack Bftw York to begin |
witL, and give Philadelphia. Baltimore, and
Washington a turn as they marched into
the Southern countrj^? re-eonqtier it.
The South, if not willing to gite yp slavery
altogether, bad better arm fpr a con*
flict It will come.

A VERY COMMON THOUGHT TO ALL US.
An English journalist says :
"Is there anybody, above an idiot, who fl
Iihs not, at some time or other thoiight, t
with n strange internal thrill, vhile con- c
teinplaiing h crow.J, IIovV will all these A
people die?' The thought comes when the ?
Queen is opening Parliament, amidst the
most gorgeous assttnblage that this country ,j
can show. It comes in the midst of tlio v
village fair, when the drums And trumpets, c
and the the RhoUts of the fchowmen, and j
the great laughs of the rustics, are loudest. i
It comes when, in war time, the troops i
march forth through thronged streets, ami <
climb into the transports on the crowded s
sea. It comes when, in time of peace,
the first sod of a great railway is turned, t
or the first stone laid of a building which t
will he a benefit to successive generations j
for a thousand years. We know how some ^
thing very like it occurred lo tbe port Gray j
hiii 1 to Mrs. Hemans, at evening prayer
in a girls' ecliool; and few of us can have ^
been preaenl at anv celebration in any one a
of our public schools without being visited in
by that speculation?'In seventy, or say 5

0AU8E3 OF lEFT-HANDEDlfESS.
Tile question ha* been inucli discussed
>mong anatomists, whether tho properties of
lie right hand, in comparison with those
if th? loft. d?; pond on tho course of tho
rteries to it. It is affirmed that tlie trunk
if tho artorv e?i"g to the right arm pnsses
>11* fiom the heart, so as to admit the bloc d
lirectly and inoro forcibly i* to the small
ossein of tho arm. This is assigning a
uuse which is unequal to tho effect, and
resuming altogether too confined a view of
he subject; it is a participation in tho comnon
error of seeking in the mechanism tLe
:ause of phenomena which have a deeper
ource.
For tha convenience of life, and to make
is prom] t and dexterous, it is pretty evident
hat there ought to be no hesitation which
>aiid is to be used, or wiiTcli foot is to be
>ut forward; nor is there in fact any sUcli
tidccision. Is this Iaujrlit, or have we this
eadiness given to us by nature? It tbust
>c observed-, at the same time, that there is
i distinction in the whole right of the body
md that the hift side is not only the weaker
n regard to muscular stroij^tii, but also in
ts vital or constitutional properties,... Th<5
levelopment uf the organs of actioand
notion in greatest upon the right side; as
nay a: any time be ascertained by measurenent,
or the testimony of the tailor or
hoemaker ; certainly, this superiority may
>e said to result from the more frequent
sxerUon of tho right hand; but the pe*
tuliarity extends to tho constitution also,
md diseases attacks the right extremities
nore frequently than the right.
In opera-dancers, wontay see that the
nosl difficult feats are performed by the
iglit foot. But their preparatory exercises
letter evince the natural weakness of tho
eft limb, in order to avoid awkwardness In
he public exhibition ; for if these oxercise3
neglected, an ungraceful performance
k ill be given to the right side. In walking
lehind a person, it is very seldom* that we
ec an equalized motion of the body; and,
f we look to the left foot, we shall find
hat the tread is not so firm upon it, that
he toe is not so much turned out as in the
ight, anfl that a greater push is made with
t. From the peculiar form of woman and
he elasticity of her step, resulting more
torn the motion of the ankle 'than of the
iaunche?, the defect of the left foot, when
t exists, is more apparent in hrr gait. No
>oy hop* upon his left foot unless bp be
eft handed. The horseman puts his left
not in tho stirrip, and spr ngs froqa the
iobt.
We think that wo may conclude that
very thing being adapted, in the conenienoes
of life, to the l?ft hand?as' for
.sample the direction of the worm, screw,
>r of the cutting end of the nugor?is not
irhitrary, hut i< related to a natural endownent
of the hody. Ho who is left-handed
< moat sensible to the advantages of tljia
i taptation, from tho opening of a parlor
loor to the opening of n pen knife. On
lie tthole, tho praferpnuas of thSV' right
land ia not the effect of bnhit, is a
latnral provision, and is bestowed for a
'ory obvious purpose, and the property doe?
lot depend on the peculiar distribution of
be arteries of tho arm. but uim preference
s given to tlife right, foot as well a* t^L the
ight hand.?Sia Cftjs. JidCa firidpeicater
