Soon a tall forest lifted its undulat ing line along the horizon, and us they journeyed on, it clearing began to be visible, the long waving curl of blue smoke ascending lur up in (lie serene ether. At first appeared large corn fields, then a barn, nnd lastly a log cabin built on the verge of the wood, hut not close enough to ho benefilled by its shade, while felled timber und corn cribs, wood sheds aud pig-pens obstructed the palii to the door of the rude and lowly dwelling. There was a dark red spot on Freeman’s cheek as lie approached his home, and lo Flora’s eager questions relative to his family, lie gave such briel and unsatisfactory an. suers that it long silence Imd sunk down over them und Flora felt chilled hy Itis reserve. A lad ran out of u field und in joyful haste hailed his brother, while his while head, bare logs nudarms.aud rug ged trowsors excited a surprised stare from Flora.

Site only felt disgust nud surprise at her uncouth cos tume, and stopped not to reflect how many sterling virtues might be covered by the coarse homespun garb. Severul fine, sun burned young men all in counti v garb, came crowding in, and as Freeman presented each in turn, she formally curtisied to each, and with a flushed cheek and contracted brow sunk on the chair iho mother of the family offer ed her. As she looked round on the humble, but neat dwelling, the plain, useful furniture, (lie nice ly arranged beds and implements of female indus try, her angry passions were awakened at wlmt she thought had been a trick played on her hy Free man, und she internally resolved lo maimuiu iter own habits and manners, and as early h* possible disengage herself front all connexion with Iter hus band’s family. The elder Mrs. Freeman now ap proached, nnd in a kind voice invited her to tuke a lurge pile of wood on the ample henrth, and cull ing an their mother “to make the fire," followed offlier tilings. While (isrobing, the boys pluced their brother out. Floru looked with dismay at the logs, sufficient she thought, to dress a dozen dinners ; hut the old dame soon relied them into order, and a blazing fire nnd the clean hearth spread an air of comfort over the apartment. Mrs. Freeman, with the dexterity of a back, wood’s cook, soon produced a supper that aston ished even Flora by its variety und plenty ; und the kind and affectionate manner of the old lady to hor sons, ami llteir frank, good humor would have conciliated any heart but Iters.

Some years ago, a populous town, located to- wards the interior of Mississippi, was infested hy a gang of blacklegs, who amused themselves at times by pteying upon each other. A new importation of these sporting gently exciting some alarm among tho inhabitants, lest they should he com pletely overrun—they determined therefore on their expulsion. A poor devil of a country Editor, who was expected by virtue of his vocation to take upon himself all the responsibilities from which niters might choose to shrink, wus peremptorily called upon by his “patrons”—that is, those who paid him two dollars u year for itis paper,and there fore presumed they owned him, soul and body—to make an effort towards the extermination of the enemy. Tlio unfortunate editor, like most ol edi tors, being gifted witli just about as much brains ns money—skull and purse both empty—said at once that lie would indite a "flasher,” one that would un- doubtedlydrive the obnoxious vermin into som t more hospitable region. And when his paper appeared, it was a "flusher,” sure enough. In the course of his observations, lie gave the initials of several of the fraternity, whom lie advised to leuve town ns speedily as possible, ifllicy bad the slightest desire to save llteir bacon. The next morning, while the poor scribe was comiorlubiy scutud to his office, listlessly fumbling over u tneugre parcel of exchanges, lie heard foot steps on lite stuirs, nod presently an individual hav ing accomplished the ascent, made his appearahee. His first salutation was slightly abrupt. ’ Whern's the editor of this d ». b dirty, tying paper. Now, aside from the rudeness of this opening interrogatory, there were other considerations to induce (lie editor lo believe tltni there was trouble on foot. Tho personage who addressed him, bore a cowhide in bis band, and, moreover, seemed lo be exceedingly enraged. This was not ull—lie recog nized iu him a distinguished leader oi tho sporting fruternily, with whose cognomen he had token ve ry irreverent liiierlies. It was without the slight est hesitation, therefore, he replied lo the intro ductory query. •1 don’t know.’ ‘Do you belong to the concern V ‘No, indeed ; but 1 presume the editor will soon be in.’ ‘Well,’ said tho visitor, ‘I will wuit for him,’and suiting the action to the word, composedly took u clmir, picked up a puper and commenced reading. •If 1 meet him,’suid the frightened knight of the scissors and quill,‘l wilt tell him there is a gent^' man here who wishes to sec him. As he reached the foot of the stairs, in H ’, hasty retreat, he was accosted by another person, who thus made himself known : ■Can you tell me where I can find the sneaking rascal who bus charge of this villainous sheet 7 producing the lust number of “Freedom’s Echo und Buttle Axe of Liberty.’ ‘Yes,’replied the editor “he is up therein the office now (ending, with his back to ihe door.’ ‘Thank you.’t-xcluimed the stranger us he bounc. ed up stuirs. •I’ve got you, have I,’ ejaculated lie, us ha matin a grasp at Ins brother iu iniquity, and they came clashing to the floor together. As the combatants, notwithstanding the similar ity of their voculion, happened lobe unacquainted with eaclt other, “a very pietly quurrel” ensued. First ono was al the top, then the other—blow fol lowed blow, kick followed kick, and oath followed oath, until bruised, exhausted und bloody, with faces and features resembling Deaf Burke after a two hours’ pugilistic encounter, there was by mutual consent a cessation of hostilities. As the warri ors sat on the floor contemplating each other, the first comer found breuth enough loask, * VV ho are 1 W hat did you attack me for 1’ •You abused me in your paper, you scoundrol.’ ‘Me !

The first point is the udder, if this is not ca pacious or if it has not the power of becoming so, she never will be a groat milker. Then the color of the skin will be important; if you would have ricii milk it should he yellow, nr rather a muliogo- ny color; but you will want goo-! teats to draw the milk ; large teals, not standing close together, are u good sign. These are the most importuul points. As to the form of tho cow, you will not choose a lurge head and horns, for it cost too much to sup port them ; nor long legs to make you hold the pail up from the ground, und to require high fences. Long legs require loo much support, they are not good even for travelling. Choose short legged animals whenever you have the choice, whether cows, oxen*, horses, or hogs* Choose slender necks and ttpering tuils ; straight backs and broad briskets, for such feed belter und are less liable to iiscaso. Tbeco-v’s body should be largo in com parison with bead and limbs, but it is not an object to keep veiy huge cows or oxen, or horses on our lurms, as a general rule. Middle sized cows, and tho-e below if, you almost always find befer milk ors Ilian large cows are. In regard to the color of Ihe body, a red or yel low, or a yellow briodle, is as indicative as any of a good riclt milker. You cannot always determine hy any external murks, whether your heifer will pruvu a good cow. Alter trying her one summer, youcan tell belter, and you can then turn her off lor liuef if you choose. On purchasing, you will have some regard to color us a matter of fancy. Nobody wants a black cow or a white one ; and though n partly colored cotvs ure endurable, no white man buys a shuiik colured itorse fur bis own keeping. IMiid anti gentle cotvs are belter llian irritable an. imals, and will bo more ready to yield llteir milk. By close scrutiny you can determine in some de gree hy the countenance and the motions of tile heifer whether the is naturally docile, yet very much depends on Iter breaking—Iter treatment and education during the first season. Various treat ment will make any Ultima! vicious ; still, there is a difference of character independent of education; Examine the evn und the face of the heifer; a large mild eye, with a yellow circle or halo around it, is a good indication. The luce should not be large, and the bones should be small in proportion to the body. A lurge chest is evidence of good lungsund oi a hardy animal. The hip* should be well spread for obvious reasons. By proper utlention lo selecting and breeding we may just as tvt II have it race of cows that will yield ten pounds.

This was before day light, and scarcely any ono was moving. An industrious French baker, however. Imd put Itis bread smoking hot into Itis wagon in the alley, ready to start at the break of day. Tho elephant happened to come into Itis vicinity, aud was not long in ascertaining where brenklnst was to be had. So, throwing down the gate, he soon made Itis way to tho wagon, und the Inures began to disappear with marvellous rapidity.

I doubt whether the morning twilight of the af fections bus the same extent of duration und influ dice in man mat it has iu woman ; the necessity of exertion for attainment lias been early inculcated upon him—lie knows that ifhe would win, lie must woo—und his imagination acts chiefly as a stimu lus. But a woman's is of a more passive kind lie lias no motives for analyzing feelings whose fiture rests not with herself; more imaginative from early sedentary habits, site is content lo dream on, and some chance reveals lo herself tho secret she would never have learnt from self-invesliga ion.

But we will not dwell upon titis subject; we nev er expect to lie called on to chronicle such another occurrence, live though we muy beyond the ordina ry life of man. Upon reaching tlie door of Mr. Clay’s dwelling, Mr. Underwood, surrounded by the other Electors, by tite Governor and thu ex-governors. Metcalfe nnd Letcher, und tlio people who ultended, read the fol lowing address lo Mr. Clay ; Mr. Clay—I have been selected by lite inom- rs of the Electoral College to suy lo you for each one of us, that wc have come lo offer you thu hom age of our personal regard and profound respect. In titis work of the heart, many of your neighbors have likewise r.otne to unite with us. On yesterday Frankfort, we performed our official duty in obe dience to tite will of tho people of Kentucky, by oling unanimously for yourself arid Theodoro ■’relinghuysen to fill the ofliccs of President and Vico President of the United Stales. I’lte machinations of your enemies, llteir frauds upon tite elective I'rnticliiso, nnd their duplicity with the people, in promulgating opposite principles in different sections, huve dell uled your election. We huve no hope oi preferment at your hands, Inch etui tempt us to flutter; nor can the pen proscription intimidate us iu speukiuglho truth. Under existing circumstances it gratifies us to take on by lite hand, nnd to unite, ns we do most cordi- lly, in expressing the sentiment* of our hearts and f those we represent, in regard to your personal Intruder and political principles. Your past services ore so interwoven with the history of our country for the lust forty years, that malice und envy cannot prevent succeeding gener ations dwelling on your name with admiration aud gratitude. Your example will illuminate lite path of future statesmen, when those who hate and re- e you are forgotlon, or are only remembered, like the incendiary who burnt the temple, for the vil they itave done. To vou lite election lias terminated without per- sono I mss; but lo lite nation, in our judgment, lite •jury is incalculable. God gram that the confed- rucy may not hereafter mourn over the result in dismembered fragments. Whilst your enemies Itave not attempted lode, fact from your intellectual churacler, they have rilh untiring malice uttacked your moral regnla- ion and endeavored to destroy it. The verhul ilaoders and printed libels employed as tncuns to accomplish political objects, huve stained tite char acter of our country nnd its institutions more than they have injured your’s. In your high personul character, iu your political principles und unrivalled zeal and ability to curry Item tint, may ho found the strong motives for our oxious efforts to secure your election. The pro. lection of American lubor, a National Currency connected with a fiscul agent for the Government, tliu Distribution among the Stales of the proceeds of tite Public Lands, further constitutional restric- ions upon Executive power and pulronnge, a limi tation upon the eligibility of tho President for a so. und term, were measures, which under vour od. ministration we hoped lo muture nnd bring into practical operation. By your defeut they Itave been endangered, if not forever lost. But wo will not speculate on coming events. If things work well, wo shall find consolation in the genernl prosperity. If apprehended evils come, we urn not responsible ; and retaining our princi pies, we shall enjoy the happy reflection of having done our duty. In tite shades of Ashland may you long continue to ,'iijny peace, quiet und the possession of those great faculties which have rendered yon the sdmira lion of your friends and the benefactor of your country. And whon nt lust, d nth shall demund its victim, while Kentucky will contain your ashes, cut assured, that old and faithful friends—those vho knowing you longest, loved you best—will cherish your memory and defend your reputation BEN.

CLAY REPLIED : I um greutly obliged, gentlemen, by tite kindness lowurds me, which lias prompted Ibis visit from tlio Electors of Kentucky of creation, or at least the belter part of our popu lation, are in great danger of being lost.—Ex. change paper. Governor, tho Presidential aud some of inv fellow-citizens, in privule life And 1 thank you, sir, (Mr. Underwood) llteir organ, on litis occas on, for the feeling und eloquent ad dress which you have just dona me the honor to de liver. 1 am under the greatest obligations lo the Peoplo of Kentucky. During more titan forty years of my life, they have demonstrated their con fidence and uffection lowurds me, in every variety of form. This Inst und crowning evidence of their long und faithful at'achment, exhibited iu the vote which, in llteir behalf, you gave yesterday, at the seat of Ibe Slate Government, as the Electoral Col lege of Kenlucky.fills me with overflowing grati tude. But 1 should fail to express the feelings of tny heart, if I did not ulso offer my profound and grateful acknowledgments to Ihe other States, which have united witii Kentucky, in the endeavor lo elect mo lo the Chief Magistracy of the Union, aud lo the million and a quarter of freemen, em bracing so much virtue, intelligence and patriotism, who, wherever residing, have directed strenuous and enthusiastic exertions lo the same object. Their effort lias been unavailing, and the issue of the election has not corresponded with their anx ious hopes and confident expectations. You have sir, assigned some of the causes which you suppos ed have occasioned tho result. I will not trust myself to apeak of them. My duty is that of per fect submission lo an svent, which is now irre coverable. So fer a* respects any official agency of mine, it has been otherwise decreed, and I bow respectful ly to the decree. The future course of Ihe Gk>v. eminent is altogether unknown, and wrapt in pain ful uncertainly. I shall not do the new Adminis tration tlie injustice of condemning it, in advance. On the contrary, I earnestly desire that, enlighten ed by it* own reflections, and by a deliberate re view of all the great intereat* of the country, dr prompted by public opinion, the benefit may be yet secured of the practical execution of tboee princi ples and measures, for which we have honeetiy con tended, that peace and honor may be preserved, and that this young but great natioa may be render ed harmonious, prosperous, and powerful. We are not wilhmit consolation under (he event which has happened. The Whig party has fully and fairly exhibited to the country the priocipiea and measures which it believed beat adapted to se cure our liberties .and promote the common wel fare. It has made, in their support, constant and urgent appeals to Ihe reason and judgment of the people. For myself, I have the high satisfisetion to know that I have escaped a great and fearfwl re sponsibility : and that, during the whole caovaas, 1 have done nothing inconsistent with the dictatee of « tho purest honor. No mortal man ie authorised to say that I held out to him the promise of any office or appointment whatever. VV lint now is the duly of the Whig party J I ven ture to express an opinion with the greatest diffi. dence. Tite future is enveloped in a veH impene trable hy human eyes. I cannot contemplate it without feelings of great discouragement. Bull know of only one safe rifle in all the vicissitudes of human life, public and private, and that is conscien tiously lo satisfy ourselves of what is right, and firmly and undeviatingly to pursue it under all triala und circumstances, confiding in the great Ruler of Universe for ultimate success. The Whig9 are deliberately convinced of the troth and wisdom of tite principles and measure* which they have es poused. It ssetns, therelore, to me, that they should persevere in contending for them ; and that, adheriug lo their separate and distinct organiza tion, they should treat all who have the good of their country in view with respect andj sympathy, und invite llteir co-operation in securing the patri otic objects which it has been their aim and pur pose to accomplish. 1 heartily thank you, sir, for your friendly wish es for my happiness in ihe retirement which, hence forward, bust becomes me. Here 1 hope to enjoy peace and tranquility, seeking faithfully to perform in the walks of private life, whatever duties may yet appertain to met And I shall never cease, whilst life remains, lo look witii lively interest and deep solicitude upon the movement and operations f our free system of Government, and to hope that under tite smile* of an ail.wise Providence, the Republic may be ever just, honorable, prosper, ous and great. A New Dish fob Two.—The family Cook Book, published in London, a quaint affair, gives the following receipe for a‘Dish for two,’called Mar riage. it may be new to some in thia part of the world : “Catch a young gentleman and lady. Thj young gentleman will be best raw, and the young lady quite tender. 8ot the gentleman at the din ner-table ; take a bottle of wine—claret is good, port is better ; a dash of champaign will give it a briskness ; let him soak in this mixture fur a coup, le’of hours, if no signs of boiling, try another bottle. When getting rod in the gilie, take him in the drawing room t if in winter, set him at Ihe fireside with the lady, throw in a dish of green tea, of nbout three cups each; let them simmer togeth er. if in the summer lime, place them in a cur rent of uir, as near the window and as much out of sight as you can ; stick the lady all over with flow. >>rs, then pluce them near the piano, aud keep stir- ring them till the lady sings. When you hear the gentleinnnjaigh all is going on well. Then Uka them off, and pul them in a corner of ibe room on n sofa, near a dies* board, if possible, and leave them together simmering for tlw rest of tlio eve ning. Repeat tUs three or four times, luking earn to keep them as close together as youcan. Great care must be taken about the degree of heat, if too great they will explode and fly off; if too little, they will turn into a jelly, or perhaps an iee. The host Item is the moderate, regular, and constant. The length of time during which it Is to be applied must be according to circumstances. For a gen tleman and ludy, under five and twenty, threo months, three weeks, or three days, are sometimes sufficient, but in every instance there must be great precaution to avoid a boil. A certain mjantityof “Queen’s coin” put in during the cooking, will Itave a great rfitect in keeping up the heart; Ihe dish will look remarkably well if garnished round with hank paper; it raey then be served up, and will make an excellent dish for two. Cere should he taken that no vinegar is used, as the dish ie re markably apt lo turn sour." WHAT MAKB8 A GENTLEMAN T Till* is S auOS- tioti more asily eusked than answered- We find a reference lo what belongs to the character of a gentleman in a vary oddplace.- The eentence of death passed upon a young man named Dunn’ at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, for the murder of a gale keeper in a quarrel aheut Dunn's refusal to pay lull. The learned Judge Paltran, in recapitulat ing the facts of the ease to the convict, after thu verdict, uses this language : “You were again attempting lo peas without pay. ing. You were followed by the deceased. You tdded insult to meditated fraud. You threw down the toll (which was two cents) contemptuously on the ground, instead of paying it like a man and a gentleman.” Titis is very odd language certainly under Ihe circumstance, particularly as it is followed by the words that “you then and there ha bangadbytha neck untiiyouare dead.” JV. Y. American. Tub Mothzb or thb Sumbsx Twins.— Mr. Hetneewsy, in his Journal which hae just ap peared in the Missionary Herald, gives and inter est ing account of hi* visit to the mother of the Sia mese twins. Site resides at a village oaliad Mak- long, Southwost of Bangkok. She had supposed her children were dead, and was much gratified to learn that they were living in America, and had married sistets in one of the southern elutes. The mother it is stated has two husbands, both China- men, and she herself had a Chinese father, so (hat tite twins are in no sense Siameee, except that they were boru in Siam.
