FEMALE LOVELINESS. Wo have in our day heard of things called women halers, but could never bring ourselves to believe in their existence. When we can believe that such things live and wear the form of man, we will pro nounce tin- mariner’s needle a humbug, and absquatalizc instanter to the moon. If man was made in the image of his Maker, j surely\voman was designed to keep him ; still in remembrance of heaven. When a [ man reflects upon paradise, and asks his ] mind for a something earthly that rcsem- I hies it, he edn think of WDM \N—lovely woman—and nothing else. Picture inno- I cence, youth, and beauty, in a woman, and if you do not see paradise, go to an oculist immediately-'-for depend upon it, there is j something the matter with your eyes. Read the following exquisite picture of girlish beauty, and thank the gods that you are a i man, born to admire and enjoy such excel lence : From the Richmond Enquirer. A PICTURE. A fair young girl is leaning pensively’ on the casemen', gazing with thoughtful brow upon the scene below. The blooms of fifteen summers tint ber soft cheek—the sweets of a thousand floWers are gathered upon her round lips—the curls cling lo a spotless brow, and lull upon a neck of perfect grace—the soft swimming eyes sedm lighted by the tenderest tire of poetry —and Beauty hovers over as her own most favored child. What are her .thoughts ! Love camiot stir a besom so young, and sorrow cannot, yet ha\'e touched a spirit so pure. Innocence itself seems lo have chosen her for its own. Alas! lias disappointment touched that youthful heart! Ye.-, it. must'bo so; hut hist! she starts—her bosom heaves—hoi- eye brightens—her lips part —she speaks—listen ! “Jim, you nasty foal I quit scratching that pig’s back, or I’ll tell mar.” From the Philadelphia Weekly Ledger. CONVERSATION. Nothing betrays a greater degree of ignorance of the world—of the human heart—and of good manners, than tile assumption of a self-sufficient, dictatorial tone in conversation. Every man should consider that his opinions arc not oracles, but that they are generally liable to be dis puted. No matter how evident any thing may seem to him, others may know more or less of it than himself-—may look at it in a different light--or may put different con structions on it, so that in the eyes of a third person it may be doubtful what views are correct. Concerning tilings which arc SELF-EVIDENT to human reason, there are seldom any discrepancies of opinion. To assert these things authoritatively, or with an air of instruction, is ridiculous ; be cause no body doubts them. But it is quite as absurd to speak on doubtful or debatable subjects, (in common conversation,) with a tone and gesture which express a defiance and contempt of all contradiction. Every nian is partial to his own opinions, and is not easily persuaded that they arc errone ous ; if lie does resign them it must.be when he is convinced by reason and argument, that they are incorrect. Mere assertion, unsupported by evidence or ratiocination, will not convince him, and ho cannot help feeling contempt for the person who adopts such measures for his conviction. Debate, in common conversation, should generally be avoided; it is apt to create harsh feelings, and seldom answers any good purpose. A person habitually addicted to controversy will rarely be a pleasant companion. The puerile vanity of wishing to “ SHOW OFF” in company, which sometimes dis plays itself in a love of argument, and ol'ten in an affectation of wit or humor, is a had and disagreeable propensity, scarcely com patible with common politeness, and emi nently calculated to make the person who indulges it, odious and despicable. Persons of real talent do not seek every occasion to display it. Judicious people will have, at least, as much anxiety to learn something in conversation as to exhibit what they know already. DILUVIAN DEPOSITES. The immense quantity of mammoth bones which are found upon some of the Siberian islands, off the northern coast of Russia, con tinues to excite the wonder of naturalists. Many of these islands seem to be little more than masses of bones. For more than eigh ty years'Siberian traders have been bring ing over, annually large cargoes of them, and still there is no sensible dirtiunition of the apparently inexhaustible store. — Large quantities of these bones are suppos ed to lie at the bottom of the ocean,along the northwest coast of Russia ; for when, after the long prevalence of easterly Yvinds, the sea recedes, anew supply of mammoth hones are always to be found. The farther you proceed.north, the smaller in size do these bones appear, hut the more abundant in quantity. -Among the Lacchow Islands, the mammoth’s tusk is rarely found weigh ing over three poods, 198 English pounds; while in Siberia it is no uncommon thing to find them of three times that weight NEWSPAPERS. The vast number of newspapers that are constantly being born in almost every sec tion of the country, is- truly distressing. They come in all shapes and sizes, and all hues and shades in politics, and no politics at all. The names, too, are awful. So fast do they come forth, that the language seems to be deficient to furnish a name of any thing that is appropriate, euphoneous, or new, and the sponsors are driven to give ; any name under heaven. We have The Great Western, published somewhere, and The Musquito, near the same place. Then comes a Sledgehammer, and The Anri/ ; Tlw Wasp and The Hornet ; The File and The Hasp ; The Whiskey Barrel and The Te—tn-fler ; The Bachelor s Button and The Married Man's Guide ; The Mirror ql Beauty and The Reflector of Light ; ‘ The Lighheood Torch and The Hickory Stick ; The Spirit of Democracy and The Spirit of the Times ; and all kinds ol’ spirits. The Dirty Shirt ; The Huge Pair ; and the last we have heard of, is a furious i one, called The Tornadd. Some of these conducted with greater talent, oiliers ordi nary. Some are managed with great prri priety, others outrun all old-fashioned no tions in that respect. S .me may live, hut rnord will probably die ill three months, tliart outlive that venerable age. THE JEWESSES. Fohtanes asked Chateaubriand, “if lie could assign a reason why the women of the Jewish race were so much handsomer than the men?” To which Chateaubriand gave the following truly poetical and Christian one; “The Jewesses,” lie said, “liavees caped the curse which alighted upon their fathers, husbands and sons. Not a Jewess was to lie seen among the crowd of priests and rabble who insulted the Son of God, scourged him, crowned him with thorns, and subjected him to ignominy and the ag ony of the cross. The women of Judea be lieved in the Saviour, and assisted and soothed him under afflictions. A woman of Bethany poured on his head precious ointment, which she kept in a vase of ala baster. The sinner anointed his feet with perfumed oil, and wiped them with her hair. Christ, on his part,, extended his mercy to the Jewesses. He raised from the dead the son of the ividow of Nain, and Martha’s brother, Lazarus. He cured Simon’s mother-in-law, and the woman who touched the hem of his garment. To the Samaritan woman he was it spring of living water, and a compassionate judge to the women in adultery. The daughters of Jerusalem wept over him—the holy wo men accompanied him to Calvary, brought balm anil spices, and weeping, sought him at the sepulchre. ‘Woman, why Yveepest thou ? His first appearance, after his re surrection, Yvas to Mary Magdalene. He said to her, ‘Mary.’ At the sound of his voice Alary Magdalene’s eyes were opened, j and she answered—“ Master.” The re- Hection of some very beautiful ray must have rested on the brotv of the Jew esses.” From the Boston Notion. “NO SIGN SHALL BE GIVEN.” Some years ago, a student in Harvard College, Yvho Yvas a mad Yvag, stole the sign of the old tavern in Cambridge, and in Conjunction with three or four fellow rogues Carried it to his room. The next morning, some members ofthe government ascertain ed the fact ofthe felonious taking, and the place of concealment of the property. — j They proceeded to the rescue, and intend- j ed to punish the offender ; but a rule ofthe College Yvas, that no room should be open ed during prayers. The principal rogue having been apprised of the criming of his ter, and having his associates ill with him, locked the door, and began to pray loudly and earnestly, so as to be distinctly heard •ill the entry. Meanwhile, his companions Yvefie spliting up the sign and burning the splinters Yvith great rapidity. As soon as this work was accomplished the prayer was concluded with the very apt and remarka ble phrase; “A Yvicked and adulterous gen eration seeketh after a sign ; and there shall ho sign be given unto it, hut the proph et Jonas !” The door Yvas opened, and the corpus delicti wanting, the confession and circumstantial evidence yvc -e passed by, more on account of the Yvit than the irino cence of the culprit. A man Yvas lately tried in England, for beating his wife—the proof Yvas positive— anil the jury retired and spent a long time in deliberation. When they re-entered the Courtroom, and the Judge solemnly asked for their decision, it Yvas unanimously de livered in these words, “sorted her right !” k man ofthe name of Pepper, had been several times thrown from a spirited young horse,, and was one day relating the cir cumstance to a friend, at the same time observing, that he had never given his I horse a name. “ 1 think, you should call him’ Pepper caster,” was the reply. AN AMUSING INCIDENT. The last number ofthe Harrisburg (Pa.) Chronicle, gives the annexed narrative ol a tcry amusing incident: Not many weeks since a gentleman of Harrisburg,by the name of Henry Petrikin. Deputy Secretary ofthe Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, was on a visit to Bellcfonte, Centre county. While there, lie was re quested to make a speech to the faithful, or did it without being requested —at any rate the speech was made. In the course ot it, as is customary with these Locofoco lights, Yvhen they are where they suppose there is no'one to contradict them, he declared Gen. Harrison to be a coward. “ Do you say General Harrison is a coward ?” demanded an old man in the crowd. “ 1 do,” was the reply of Air. IL Petrikin. “ How do you know it ?” demanded the same old man. Here Mr. IVtriken was brought to a dead stand. •• He had not the documents” lo prove it ; the Extra Globe hud lawn left at home. “ Do vou remember the man to whom you paid” S9O to join the army under Gen. Harrison in the last Yvar as a substitute ? ; If you don t, 1 do. Gentleman,” continued j tile itteorrigable old man. putting bis hand j in his pocket, and pulling out an honorable j disbliarge from General Harrison. Mr. Petriken gave me S9O to take his place in the army, and 1 hold in my hand my clear- j ance from General Harrison. Mr. Petriken was confounded, so lie J opened not liis mouth. We trust it v ill be taken as a wanting to all of General Har rison’s slanderers, at least to be extremely cautious there are none of General Harri- j son’s old soldiers about Indore they begin to retail their stale falsehoods. POLITICALCELEBRVTION IN NEW YORK.—A RIOT. The celebration of the Battle of the Thames, in New York, led to a collision between the tYvo parties, each of which had paraded that day in procession. The first disturbance was at the Park, where the two parties happened to meet at the same time, coming in opposite directions. Nei ther party Yvould give way, until one <d’ them forced itself through, which was tal lowed by the throwing of a few missiles.— The second the Journal of Commerce de tails as follows: This disturbance took place near the office of the New Era. Cries Yvere raised to “tear it dotvn ! Set fire to the office !” and a shower of stones were hurled through the windows. “But a more serious outbreak took place while a part of the Whig procession Yvas going down Spruce street. Arid here, a gain, perhaps even none of the bystanders could tell winch party was most to blame, j The rear of the Whig procession come in collision Yvitlt some of the Democrats, and the greater part of the procession turned to assist their friends, and drove the Demo crats off the ground. The latter, however, rallied again in a I’oyv minutes, and a gen eral throwing of stones, brickbats, &c., took place betw J een the two parties, until botli seemed satisfied, and the contest end ed in a sort of drawn battle, tvlien the Whig procession peaceably continued its march. Several persons must have been severely hurt, but we did not hear of any one being put so much hors du combat as to render it necessary that he should be carried off the ground. We did not hear of any further lighting, hut it Yvas a considerable time be fore the crowds separated. In detailing an occurrence so disgraceful to those engaged in it, and so un-American in its character, we think it but justice to remark that the most prominent actors on both sides were, with a few exceptions, the dregs of their respective parties. “Since writing the above, we learn that Alderman Nash, while end. avoring, in his character of magistrate, to quell the riot, received a severe wound in his eye, from a blow given him by one ol’tlie mob. “ We hope our fellow citizens, on all these important patriotic occasions, Yvill re member that they are Americans and free men, living under the protection of die laws and not. of their own arms.” ■ mu ■’ i rwmtu 1.1 ,■ : t-i : j-’m. i 1 •Jtvrr-: mk-ttcm POLITICAL. From the Chronicle and Sentinel. NEGRO VOTING. In the Corporal’s sheet of yesterday we find the following extract from a letter of the Hon. Albert Smith, of Maine, to the ed itors ofthe Globe : Portland, Sept. 30. 1840. “My district, Yvhich was tile focus of the operations ofthe party, and the point to which the exertions of the Boston aristocra cy were mainly directed, and where their money was expended, I was beaten by on ly 30 votes out of 13.000 : and this result Yvas brought about by the aid of 100 negro votes. What a glorious victory for the Whigs ofthe South! a member of Congress elected by the abolitionists and negroes. After what had transpired at the polls in this city, at our election, yvc did not sup pose that the locofoco party or its organs Yvould, under any circumstances, have the hardihood to refer even to the votes of ne groes at the North. And as you feel such a holy horror, Corporal, at the idea of a NEGRO’S voting, can you not advise your readers ofthe giving of a ticket to a FREE NEGRO in this city by your leader, and the detection ofdie negro at the polls with an entire locofoco ticket in his hand, and the manner in which he Yvas hustled out of the City Hall by the indignant Harrison men. As you, Corporal, set yourself up fora model of fair dealing in political con troversy, tell your readers this thing which occurred in this city, and then let them know with what grace you can copy an ar ticle making a charge against the officers of Maine for receiving negro votes. Frfnn the Harrisburg Telegraph. A QUESTION ANSWERED ! The Boston Post lias an article, abusive of its own [>artv, we mean the federal, which commences with this question : “Look through the Whig press from Alaine to Georgia, anil can you find any DENUNCIATION of old Federal mea sures ?” Most assuredly : it is the very burden of 11. .1 .

AN OLD SOLDIER’S TESTIMONY. The fblloYving complimentary toast to art old soldier of Harrison’s army, and the brief though spirited response, are taken from the proceedings of die late Thompson and Prestoii dinner in Cumberland county, Va. Richard Booker, of Amelia : —The patri otic gentleman who served under Wm. H. Harrison in the late war as one of the Pe tersburgh Volunteers, whose testimony in regard to the bravery of his old General, is at least equal to that of Ritchie, Duncan, &c. After the applause which this toast called forth, had subsided, Mr. Booker remarked in substance, that he fi-lt himself altogether unable to give utterance to the bmotions whieli crowded upon him, and the train of vivid associations, whieli the sentiment just offered bad suggested. It is true, gentle men, that 1 bad the honor of serving under W m. 11. Harrison, and 1 look back to that period with the proudest satisfaction, not on ly because ofthe self gratification, which it affords an humble individual to know that |he was once aide to serve his country, but because ofthe opportunity which it af fbrded him of knowing from personal obser vation, the character of a man, who had stood by his country in times that tried men’s souls, but who in these piping times of peace is pronounced a coward and a petticoat general, by those who have neither the hearts nor the heads to appreciate his worth. I atn an old man, said Mr. Booker, hut I have still tire enough about me, to give the lie direct, to any imputation of cowardice that might be put upon my old general, come from what source it may. 1 know iiim well, and love him much, and I have seen him where danger Yvas lurking in eve ry path, as cool, as unmoved as if all was peace around him, no motion or changes in the muscles of his face, save when a pang of regret for the fall of some brave compan ion, might make itself visible on his coun tenance. From the Cincinnati Republican, Sept. 26. GEN. HARRISON'S LATE TOUR. \\ n learn that Gen. Harrison returned to tin's city on Thursday, having travelled in the stage from Columbus in 24 constructive hours ; an act of bodily activity which would be regarded as a feat by tbe boys of the present day. He posted from Chilicothe in the afternoon of tin- IStli to Lancaster; thence 38 miles on the next morning to Som erset and spoke three hours ; and hack a gaiti to Lancaster, when lie rested on the Sabbath. On Monday he proceeded to Cir cleville, arid after night addressed the peo ple. He set out on Tuesday for Columbus and thence to this city. Our whig friends may judge ofthe effect of his speeches and Ins vigorous appearance from the following remark to bo found in the “Ohio Statesman” of the 22d. shewing how the “galled jade winces”:—“lf Gen. Harrison’s friendsiiad one particle of common sense they would take lim home and keep him there.”— Good ! —the other day he tvas General Mum —now he speaks too much.” “Take him home says Med ary, who feels him char ging along the whole line as he charged at Tippecanoe, Fort Meigs and the Thames. From the Memphis Enquirer. BEWARE OF THE LOCOFOCOS. We M ould again and again warn the people against the stratagems to which the | locos will resort between this and the elec tion, to defeat Gen. Harrison’s election.— BEW ARE OF THE THOUSAND AN?) ONE REPORTS WHltlH WILLBE PUT jIN CIRCULATION. Beware of the false alarms with which the country will be fil led, to divert the public mind from the great issue. Beware of sec ret hand-bills. The locofocos are desperate and reckless under the prospect of defeat, and will, we verily believe, resort to almost any means, to maintain their ascendency. WATCH THEM] NARROWLY AT EVERY POINT ! AVe have some reasons to believe that a “ charge ” will be made on the south, by filling the public mind with apprehen sion of a Negro insurrection, with a view of drawing off the attention of the people from the election. Watch this point and be rei dy to detect and expose every wicked trick ofthe kind. Watch every point. BE VIG ILANT AND FAITHFUL FOR THE NEXT I.LEVi:\ DAYS, AND THE’ VICTORY IS OURS!
